Tristan’s POVAfter the meetings I had for the day, I decided to go to the water fountain in the woods to meditate and process the conversation that went down between my wolf and my father earlier. That water fountain had been my spot since I was a child, my mother would usually bring me here after my rigorous training. I took off my clothes and shifted, allowing Sky to take control, he loved it when he was on the surface, he’d play around and howl loudly making sure the other wolves knew that he was about to step out. He quickly stormed into the woods, running through the thick forest like it was nothing and after a few minutes, we were at the fountain. I wanted to shift to my human form when her scent engulfed me. “She is here, but how? In these thick woods all by herself? Sky began to impatiently look around for her, we followed her scent and it led us to the fountain. There she was, sitting pretty, her dark brown fell loosely beside her jaw and some to her back. Her slender legs w
Tristan was overwhelmed with everything that was going on thus his frustrations, he did not know how to handle everything. The rogue’s attacks on his pack were becoming too much, but he was still thankful that at least the rogues that came so far were the ones he could easily take care of, his main worry was the men he lost during the attacks. He decided to hasten up his chase on Tanya, he needed her to complete him. The next morning, immediately he completed his usual morning routine, he went to the healer’s to see his wounded guard, he was still unconscious but the healer informed him that he was responding to the treatment far, he felt relieved and drove back to Mystique University. Tarrell gave him information that she was at the Library and he sat outside waiting for her. Most of the students saw him and recognized him as the alpha and came closer to pay due respect, the girls looked at him lustfully and attempted to make seductive passes at him but he ignored them, he was alread
Tanya’s POVI opened my eyes to a dimly lit room, and a sharp pain flooded from my head to my eyes. A jolt of pain began clustering around my forehead and I let out a soft whimper, The only thing I remember was a car horn harshly blaring in my direction as I sluggishly crossed the road. I looked around to know where I was when I felt a man’s hand firmly gripping mine, I narrowed my eyes down to see who it was. When I saw that he was unfamiliar, a familiar emotion engulfed my insides, fear. He slept on the edge of the bed with our hands peacefully resting in each other’s, I slowly sat up trying to figure out what kind of place this was, it looked like a library and a hospital but an ancient one. There were old books scattered on a table that had a chair behind it while some were neatly arranged on shelves. There were also small bottles containing different coloured substances in them. The room exuded some sort of creepiness. I moved my left hand closer to his head in an attempt to pa
Tristan was overwhelmed by the turn of events, he didn’t expect them to meet each other this soon. He always thought he would stutter when they finally met but surprisingly there were no hitches with his voice and he didn’t have to manage Sky’s jumpiness when she was close. For some reason, he was silent, maybe because he was busy searching her insides to find a voice in her he could connect with. He was happy that she trusted him, the gazes and smiles she gave him while she was being checked by Aksher were all the confirmations he needed. The feeling of being in the same space and breathing the same air as her soothed the cores of his mind and soul, he had yearned for that moment and it finally came and he was already looking forward to more than what was to come.Tristan hurriedly drove down to one of his restaurants “Your Chops” the best restaurant in Shadowclaw to get food for Tanya. After he got the pasta, he drove down to KFC, where he bought the biggest and juiciest chicken alo
Tristan’s POVI sat there staring at her and waiting for her to wake up. What clouded my thoughts was what to expect after she wakes up and goes back to Moonlight Haven. Aksher’s words slowly found its way back to my head. He had mentioned that she had an energy inside of her, and it was so powerful he could not place his hands on it. It worried me, what could that possibly be? Is she more than human? Sometimes I wished the “Nights” I read about were still living, life would’ve been so easy, and they could’ve solved so many mysteries for me like this very one. Aksher knew less because he was only a healer. The soft buzzing sound on my phone pulled me out of my thoughts. I swiped the screen open to read a message, which was from Tarrell asking if we could meet later.Tarrell was not that serious a person to send text messages asking for a one-on-one meeting. He’d usually call to relay whatever information he had in a rather rambling manner over the phone. I texted him back immediately
Tanya’s POVIt was barely twenty-four hours since I met him and my heart was beginning to flutter. His gentle stares and smiles were captivating and for some reason, I felt free and safe around him. The guy whom I believe was his friend drove us back to Moonlight Haven. The drive was slow and steady, the car was comfy too. I had a hard time walking because of the injury my ankle suffered and before I knew it, he came behind and scooped me up in his arms, our bodies pressing hard against each other. It was so quick I didn’t know how to react. I was taken aback by his gesture thus my cheeks flushed with embarrassment. I looked away shyly but I was secretly enjoying every bit of it. My hands held on steadily around his neck with my head resting on his hard chest.I took that time to look at him up close, he was fine, his lips had a little smirk on them and he smelled nice too. I made sure to point to the directions of our apartment and he took me there.He gently knocked on the door and
Tristan’s POVTarrell drove me back home and made sure to be quiet all through the drive, looking at my temperament when I dashed out of Tanya’s apartment, he understood the message and knew I needed him to remain silent. He kept eyeing me through the rearview mirror hoping that I’d say something but I didn’t, I was too angry to talk.“What happened there? Tarrell finally asked, earning a glare from me to him.“Just keep quiet and drive.” I angrily responded.“Sorry…” He said with his eyes rolling. Tarrell stepped on the accelerator and in no time, we were home. I stepped down from the car and walked inside still thinking about how he tried to touch my woman, my own woman. My heart was almost jumping out of my chest with absolute jealousy and anger.“Oh, we had a bad day,” Adeline said, carefully reading my face. As I made no attempts to answer her, she looked further at Tarrell, her eyes screaming ‘what happened?’ Tarrell answered her in the same way by gesturing ‘I don’t know’ with
Tristan had a series of meetings with the elders of the pack and they kept emphasising the importance of Luna. Since they were oblivious to the alpha finding a new mate, they advised him to pick a wife from any of the elders’ families. A week passed by swiftly and he had not found the courage to go with her after the last incident, he was already considering rejecting her and picking a new wife like the elders suggested, maybe that way, he would be able to save her from harm and the impending outbursts of his pack members. This made him devastated, not seeing her drove him insane and Sky stopped talking to him too. He was sad and downtrodden. Tristan’s POVAs much as I wanted to stay away from her, I didn’t stop Tarrell from giving me updates about her itinerary. What did she eat? Where was she? Who was she with? What was she doing? He updated me on everything. I was in a meeting with the alpha of Harmony pack when my phone silently beeped revealing a call from Tarrell on the screen.
Tristan's POV. In a short matter of time, my men and I were at the Old Nights Villa. As usual, the house looked deserted and with the thick eeriness that covered the whole place, it took only the strong minded to go close. The house had been labeled haunted hence unapproachable since I was a young boy and I hadn't been here too. We were all ready to go in and fight to redeem our pack and take my mate back home with me. I turned and signalled my men to go ahead and surround the house while Tarrell and I stayed back. We headed into the house after my men had all taken their respective positions. As we stepped into the house, the eeriness followed. The living room was filled with dust and cobwebs, making it look deserted. Even with the eerie outlook of the room, I could still feel the presence of someone else hovering steadily in the room. "Someone is in here, I can feel it." Tarrell said as though he read my mind."You can feel it too..." I turned to him and said. "It's easy to fi
TristanAs regards the information we got from Tanya and her friends, the rogues who caused all the trouble for me were still very much in my pack and I had to plan discreetly before taking them out. I gathered my men in the meeting area outside my office space and after having a brief one with them, I turned to the rest of my men.“As you all know, we have found a way to tune down the phenomenon that has threatened our peace over the last few days and we have our Luna to thank for that. But that is not all, I have some interesting news to share.” I could see the cheerfulness on their faces but that was until I spoke again. “An interesting news that is a bit disturbing thus, we need to handle it immediately. The rogues are in our pack. They have been running their affairs secretly from the Old Nights Villa.” The announcement came to them as a shock, it was evident from the way they exchanged questionable glances at each other. The gazes were accompanied with murmuring. “Now I blame
Tanya's POVI woke up with a loud headache, looking around, all I could see was darkness. Only then did I remember that I had been captured by those strange men and my driver was killed."Help! Help!!" I cried out. I heard footsteps approaching and I shouted again. "Help!" The door opened revealing a tall figure, at least from where I sat, he was tall. The light shone through the door into the room. "Who are you and why did you bring me here? Where is this place?" I asked the man who walked in.The man said nothing and just stood there watching me. Moments later, I heard the sound of a phone tapping like he was about to call someone. "She is awake, I heard him say to whoever it was that he called. "I am coming there now." The other man said from the other end of the phone. I was consumed with fear at that moment, I covered my hands over my chest as though I was trying to stop my heart from escaping my body. The small hairs across my body stood on end as tingle rushed across my s
Orion’s POVWe waited at the house while my men went into the pack as usual to spread out the substance. It was past the time they usually returned and that was when anxiety set in. I stood outside the balcony pacing and looking out for them. I heard footsteps approaching and I immediately hid behind the pillar, I took out my knife and waited for whoever it was to come. I peeped through to see who it was as he approached. It was one of my men, he was injured badly. Even without asking, I knew something wasn’t right.“What happened? Where are the rest of your men? I impatiently asked. He didn’t say anything and just fell to the ground. Taking a closer look at him, I saw that he was beaten on the neck. “I’m asking you a damn question.” I yelled at him as I was running out of patience. “They were killed and they took the rest of them. We have a problem. The substance is no longer working and from what we gathered, the Alpha’s mate concocted an antidote and all the pack members took i
Tristan’s POVDarkness spread all over the place and the time had also gone too. I entered the room to meet her curled up in a duvet. She was already asleep. She had been working all through the day and she needed sleep. I walked over and sat on the bed beside her. I gently pushed away the strands of hair that covered her face. She batted her eyes and slowly opened them then smiled sweetly. "Hey!" She greeted me."Hey Princess." I responded. She gently sat up with her back leaning to the bed frame. "I'm sorry I slept off, I was too tired. How did it go?" She asked with her sleep filled eyes and voice. "It's okay, I need you to sleep too, you had a long day...and, it went well, we were able to distribute the substance to the people. Thank you Tanya, this is by far the greatest thing anyone has ever done for me." I was really grateful. "We were made for each other, so whatever pain you feel, I feel it too, your people are mine and I will be here to help in any and every way I can."
Tristan's POV Gathering the people wasn't going to be an easy task but I was going to get it done regardless. As we drove further into the pack, I brought my phone out and placed a call to Tarrell. "Get the men ready and hurry to the houses closer to the borders, assemble all of them at the old pack house. Let every living soul Shadowclaw pack be there, young and old, male and female. Do it now!" I ordered. I ended the call and sat back in the seat. I couldn't lie, my body was shaking. The emotions that engulfed me at that point were intense in every level, relief and fear spread through my insides too."We will stop by the house, Princess, you won't be joining us. It's too risky for you and the..." I halted immediately. She didn't know it yet and that wasn't the best time to break such news to her. Immediately she looked at me with confused eyes, she knew I wanted to say something but I decided not to. "Is everything okay Tristan?" She quietly asked. In order not to lie to her
Tanya’s POVI entered his office and there he was sitting in his chair with his back to the door, anybody who saw him that way would know he had so much on his mind. I had to talk to my friends, we had a curing chemical, and we needed to bring it out immediately. I walked over to him and stood right in his face, he sighed heavily immediately he saw. His eyes were puffed and swollen, he had obviously cried so much. I thought about so many things to do to make him but nothing was coming to mind. I leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his lips. It made him soften up a little. “Take him to the fountain, he will feel better.” The voice in me said and I was going to do just that. “Come with me.” I held his hand and he obediently stood and followed after me. I gestured at one of the guards to get into the car and drive. He sat there quietly all through the drive but his hand held onto mine so tight while I gently rubbed it.The guard followed my instruction and after a few minutes of d
Tarrell’’s POVThe night was old, the moon hung low in the sky and basked in its full glory. The pack was quiet, everybody had gone to bed too. I was about to go to bed too when I heard loud growling of the wolves, there was trouble and we had to rush to see what it was immediately. As I rushed out, Tristan was already rushing out.“What was that?” I asked.“I think they are trouble. Alert the men, we are heading out into the city now.” He ordered and I began to mind link the guards. We didn’t waste any time, we shifted immediately and allowed our wolves to take control and immediately they did, we ran into the woods heading towards the direction we felt the wolves’ scent coming from.We got there and saw dead bodies on the ground. Their eyes, nose, ears and mouth were all covered with blood. They were killed by the chemical. One of them was still breathing, Tristan rushed to her. “What happened?” He anxiously and furiously asked.“We…were partying…and suddenly, everybody became di
Tanya’s POVAfter a heated bath, we dressed up and headed out together. Adeline had already set the table for breakfast. She stood by waiting for us while Tarrell had already begun eating. There were four other men standing by the door, they were in all black and looked rather scary. “Good Morning Adeline…Morning Tarrell.” I cheerfully greeted them. “Morning Luna, how was your sleep?” Adeline asked. The look she gave me was rather odd, her eyes made me feel there was more to it but I waved it off, maybe she was just worried about me passing out last night.“It was fine Adeline, thank you for taking care of me last night, Tristan told me.” “It’s nothing my dear.” She humbly said.“Hi Tarrell.” I greeted again when I didn’t hear his response.“Hi Luna… How was your night and most especially your morning?” Tarrell teasingly asked, he definitely had his ears in our room. My face blushed pink with embarrassment.“And what is that supposed to mean?” Tristan looked at him and asked.“Oh!
