Tristan’s POVI could feel it in my guts that everything was beginning to close in. The pack members began murmuring among them about a Luna. The attacks from the rogues became incessant and they needed a stronger hand alongside the Beta to take care of the pack should I go to war with the rogues eventually.Sky also needed his soul mate to complete him. That was the only thing he was going to do to make him remain strong for both of us. As a result, I made up my mind to mark her. When I informed her about going to see my father, her eyes lit up but the nervousness in them was evident.I was in my office going through some of the cases the pack members brought to my notice when Tarrell walked in.“Oh hey Alpha Tristan, do you have a minute?” He playfully asked.“You should’ve asked before walking in Beta. What is it?” I slammed the case file on the other and focused on him. “I am your Beta, give me some respect Alpha!” He snorted like a little child and rolled his eyes at me. “I tho
Tanya’ POVA loud bang on my door woke me up from my deep slumber. I didn’t even realise I had passed out on the cold floor yesterday. I struggled to stand up. My head ached badly and my vision was a bit blurry, I had cried so much. I pushed my curtain aside to see if he was still there but he was gone. I lazily walked to the door and rested my head on the wall just beside it. “Who’s there?” I asked.“Denise!” She answered.“Come in.” The door opened slightly and Denise walked in. She looked at me with a sad face and sighed. She knew what had happened.“Tarrell told me what happened last night. I am really sorry you had to go through that horrible moment.” She said, I walked back to the window and stood there staring outside.“I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life. The scorn in their eyes towards me was something I have never seen before. They said they don’t accept me and they never will.” I said as tears began to drop from my eyes. “Don’t cry Tanya.” She walked up to
Tristan’s POVMy heart was broken into a million pieces and my whole being shattered. But the feeling wasn’t alien to me, I felt the same when Willow rejected me three years ago. I knelt there in front of her house crying and pleading but she was too angry and sad to look at my face and reconsider. Even when the loud thunders and fierce lighting began to prepare the way for the ferocious rain. I was still there. And when the rain started, I didn’t move. I didn’t because I couldn’t, my legs and body couldn’t carry me. She stood by her window watching me, the tears that rolled down her cheeks made it harder for me, I caused it, it was my fault. I felt the downpour easing off my skin and someone’s presence. I looked up and to see who it was, it was Ryan. He held an umbrella above me making sure I was free from the downpour.“Get up man, she is not going to come down.” He said. I was surprised to see him offering me kindness. I looked up at him and I hesitated a bit before standing. He
Writer’s POVActing on Orion’s orders, his men went to pick up Ethan’s mother and baby sister at the places where they were hidden. “Today is going to be a good day!” One of the men said happily“Oh yes! Been long time since I had so much fun. I’mma fuck them real good.” The one added and they erupted in a cheerful laugh.They drove into the old and abandoned orphanage home where the girl and other younger girls were kept. They got out of the car and walked towards the man who was dressed in a cassock. He was one of them. “We are here to take her.” One of Orion’s men said to the man in a cassock and pointed to Ethan’s sister.“Why?” The man asked.“The Boss wants her.” He answered.“Shania” The man called out and she immediately ran over.“They are here to take you to your mama and Papa.” The man told her. She looked at the men and snorted. She didn’t even wait to be told to get into the car, she just headed there on her own. “Have they picked the other one up?” The man asked.“Yes
Tanya’s POVIt had been almost a week since I saw him and I missed him terribly, my whole being yearned for him almost as if the other part of me was with him but wait it was. In order not to allow him to cloud my thoughts and make myself more miserable, I swamped myself with work at the lab. I began mixing the chemicals I took from Ethan. I tried to be as careful as I could because they were dangerous. It took me the whole day to be able to decipher when to add which. I heard footsteps approaching and I gasped, no one was supposed to be there. “Who is there?” Out of fear, I picked up a 500ml Erlenmeyer flask and waited for whoever it was. “Who is there?” I asked again. “It’s me!” That was Professor Eugene’s voice. Immediately I dropped the flask with relief. He walked in in his usual charisma.“Good day Sir.” I greeted him as the fear that engulfed me earlier began to fade.“Good day Miss Reynolds. Why are you here by this time and alone?” He asked.“I…I…have a personal project
Tristan’s POVThe sun rays peeked through the curtains and rested on my shirtless body. I loved that feeling so much so I lay there a little longer to enjoy it. It was quite early and I was feeling ecstatic because she was coming to spend time with me and finally I was going to mark her and make her mine forever.I got out of bed and headed downstairs, dancing and humming all the way. Tarrell was already dressed for his run for the day and apparently he was waiting for me. He was confused with my mood for the morning, it was evident in the way he looked at me.“We are going for a run this morning and you are still in sleep attire?” He asked, staring at me.“Morning Diva!” I cheerfully greeted and went ahead to pick an apple that sat leisurely on the dining table. Tarrell stared at me like he had seen a ghost, Hahaha! I couldn’t blame, I was weird. “Diva! Diva! Ha! I see you are in quite a mood this morning, I take it your night turned out great.” Tarrell said. Adeline walked in fro
Writer’s POVThe valerian and chamomile made them sleep more than usual. They had slept for eight hours straight. Tanya opened her eyes and her head felt as though he had made a brief contact with a wall. She wondered how she had slept for so long. Beside her was the most beautiful man on earth. She looked around the room and smiled to herself. When she walked in earlier, she was too sad and occupied to even look at the room at the beauty the room was basking in, the petals, the scented candles and the balloons. She turned her face to him and kissed him on the cheek. She laid back watching him as he slept with a smiley face. She leaned again to kiss him when he eyes opened and she gasped. “Stealing kisses from a sleeping man, huh?” Tristan asked jokingly.“This is beautiful, I am sorry I didn’t take note when I came in earlier.” Tanya shyly said. “You must have put in so much effort.” She added.“You don’t wanna know, my back aches, in fact my whole body.” He said and made childis
Tristan's POVI shifted immediately I entered the woods and allowed Sky take control as he swung pass the trees. His strength and pace increased due to the marking. Having the strength of his mate and Luna made him even more agile. In less than a few minutes, we were at the border and I immediately shifted back to my human form. The guards turned their backs immediately they saw me as it was a forbidden for them to see my nakedness. I entered to my tent, wore some clothes and rushed out. They turned to face me instantly. Some were still with their swords and knives in their hands with bloodstains.“What happened?” I asked them. I had never seen so much fear in their eyes before and for a moment, I was taken aback by it.“They were not as many before, we didn’t see them coming, they just attacked.” The stuttered as he spoke.“You are to always be at alert, how could you not know when they came.” I yelled and they all went on their knees. “We are sorry Alpha!” They all said. I stood
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!
