His rightful position as Alpha has been reclaimed, a triumph that carries a sense of relief and closure. As I glance at Zack, my heart swells with pride and admiration for his strength and leadership.“Freda,” Zack’s voice breaks the silence, his expression a mix of curiosity and sincerity, “I’ve been meaning to ask you something.”I turn to him, my curiosity piqued. “What is it, Zack?”He shifts slightly, his gaze meeting mine. “Back Before when I offered for you to stay at the mansion with me. You declined, and I respected your decision, but I can’t help wondering why.”A small smile tugs at the corners of my lips. Zack’s directness is one of the things I have always appreciated about him. “It is not that I do not want to, Zack. Your offer meant a lot to me, especially after everything we have been through. But the truth is, everything happened so fas
Freda POVThe next morning, I step into the familiar corridors of Crescent Hospital, my heart a mixture of anticipation and normalcy. It is as if the events of the past days exist in a separate world, and stepping into the hospital grounds brings a sense of routine back into my life. The soft hum of conversations and the occasional sound of medical equipment are a comforting backdrop, reminding me that life continues to move forward.As I make my way to the nursing station, my colleagues greet me with smiles and nods. Their warm welcome eases any lingering tension I might have had. A sense of camaraderie washes over me, a reminder of the connections I have forged during my time here.“ Doctor Freda, you are back!” Sarah, one of the nurses, exclaims as she approaches me. “We have missed you.”I return her smile, genuinely touched by the warm reception. “It is good to be back, Sarah.”Dr. Patel, the head of the department, emerges from his office and spots me.

It’s no longer just a place of history and tradition; it’s a living, breathing testament to the love and connection that has bloomed between us. As I watch her move about the mansion, her laughter echoing through the hallways, I’m reminded of the profound impact she’s had on my life.I would never forget the moment she called, her voice carrying a mixture of determination and vulnerability. The phone call had been a surprise, catching me off guard. But as she spoke the words, “I want to take you up on your offer. I want to come and live at the mansion,” my heart had raced with a wild mixture of emotions.There was joy, undeniably, the exhilaration of knowing that she was choosing to be closer to me, to share her life with me in a more intimate way. But there was also a twinge of nervousness, a fear that I couldn’t quite place. It wasn’t doubt about my feelings for her; those

Darren had made contact with his trusted investigator, Bush, who had been discreetly working to locate Zack’s ex-wife, Annie. Our plan hinged on finding her and uncovering the secrets she held.One crisp morning, Darren’s face lit up with anticipation as he told me, “Bush is ready to make the call.” His fingers tapped out a number on his phone, and the faint sound of ringing filled the cabin.After a few moments, a gruff voice answered, “Bush here.”“Hey, it’s Darren,” my ally spoke in hushed tones, the tension palpable even through the phone. “Any updates on Annie?”Bush’s voice held a hint of weariness. “She has been elusive, but I have got a lead. She has been spotted in a small town not far from my location here abroad. Seems like she is trying to stay off the radar.”Darren leaned closer to the phone, his eyes intense. “That is promising. Can you find out more about her activitie
Freda's POVI and Zack were at creeks close to a small stream. We were out on a picnic. Zack said it has been a while since we spent time together. I was so excited. It was a breath of fresh air. I had been so busy and engaged these past weeks. It has been fun though. Hanging out with the women and the children has been a wonderful experience. I have not associated with that much people outside the hospital in a very long time. I had always lived a secluded lifestyle. I had no one to talk to except Darren and my best friend— former best friend, Ruby. Then there was Zack that filled a vaccum Darany and Ruby created when they both hooked up. Apart from Zack, I never had friends or aquintances of my own. The women of the red moon pack had a lot to teach me. From their local dishes to their traditional songs and dances, it was a wonderful experience. I had such a fly time with the kids too; I have always loved children. I would like to have mine someday so I build my own little famil
Zack’s POVWe had just finished from the picnic. Freda said she wanted to go to her house to get some things. I told the driver to take us there. In some minutes, we could see the familiar trees and lanes that lead to Freda’s gouse. As the car drove closer to it, I could see someone at the door. It was a woman. She was wearing a black top over denim trousers. Wondering if she was expecting anyone, I asked, “Are you expecting someone? ““No, I wonder who that is. “ she replied. The stranger heard the car sound and turned around quickly. It was Ruby. She was once Freda’s best friend. What does she want now? I thought. “Ruby? “Freda said. “Freda. “ she answered. “What are you doing here? “ She asked her. “I don’t understand that question. “ Ruby answered. “Well since you can’t hear very well, what are you doing in my house. “ Freda asked again. She was furious now, I could tell. “Why? “ Ruby started, “I can’t come to your house anymore? I used to come over all the time before.
Zack’s POVI kissed Freda goodbye at the door to her room. I took a minute to breath. That was a close one, I thought, I almost lost control of everything. I was very close to mating Freda. With how deep we are in our relationship, I would have marked her. I would have claimed her without her consent. Although I want her so bad, I need to get it right. I want her to be ready for the next level. I am ready for the next phase of our relationship, but I need her to be so as well. I treasure what we have so much to loose it. I walked towards my room which is right next to Freda’s room. A yawn escaped my lips. My body was a bit tired. From the picnic to the intense moment I and Freda had at her place, I needed a cool off. A shower will do the job, I thought. I took off my jacket. Something fell off. Squinting, I wondered what it was that had fallen off. I saw it was a note. Reaching down to pick it up, I remembered Ruby slipped something into my pocket. I did not check what it was at t
Freda’s POVWhat a week it has been. I woke up, stretched and got up from the bed. I had a weird dream this morning. Zack was in my room; he gave me a kiss on my forehead and said, He whispered to me, “I’ll be out for a while, plum. “I drowsily opened both my eyes to see who it was. I reached out with one hand and placed it on his cheek. “You’re coming back to me, right? “I asked. “Always. “ came his response.Satisfied with the response, I nodded, shifted to my other side and continued in my sleep. I was about to get up from the bed when a knock came in. “Yes, enter. “ I calledThe door opened and Marian, one of the staff who had helped me before in. “Good morning, ma’am.”she said. “Marian, how are you this morning?” I asked. “I am doing great, ma’am. “ she answered. “I came to tell you that breakfast is ready, ma’am.”“Breakfast? :Already?

Zack's pov (Finale)"Where is Freda? " I said, cutting straight to the chase. "First I need the money, sir. " he said. I took out my phone. "Call out your account number. " I said. He called it out, I wired the money to him. "Now, tell me. " I said. "Remember that closed end road that used be a cave? " he asked. I racked my brain. It came to me suddenly. I and Kaine used to play there when we were kids before my father closed the cave. "Yes. " I said. "Kaine opened it up when he was alpha. Not many people knew about it. That has been Kaine's hideout and that is where he is holding Freda. " he said. I looked at Aiden, he looked right back at me. "I think I know where he is talking about. " he said."I think I do too. How come we never searched there? " I said. "Beats me. " Aiden replied. He grabbed the man by his shirt, a little roughly. "If we find out that you lied to us, trust me, Kaine will be the least of your worries. " he snarled. The poor man looked terr
Zack's POVI had just sent Rosa away from my study. The little witch had tried to seduce me. Had I not been quick to stop her, it would have been a problem. What if Freda had walked in here and saw us in that compromising position with her. When Freda had told me that they would be staying in the mansion with us, I had felt a little skeptical about everything. I had gotten nothing but bad vibes from them since we went to Freda's home at their mansion. He stepmother looked malicious and kept giving her the stink eye. She was also so cold and unreceptive when she saw Freda. Almost as if she was not happy that she is alive and well. She blamed her for everything that had happened to their family and still does. More to it, she had especially being insistent that Freda takes up the alpha position and was very enraged as well disappointed when Freda turned their suggestion down. I immediately did not like her. As if she was not so negative towards Freda, she had extended an olive b
Rosa’s povDay after day, the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and the months to years. It has been just I a f my mother in this big mansion that my father left for us to live in. It has just been the both of us. Oh and mr Peterson. My mom had said that he was a butler to my father when my father was still the alpha of the red moon pack. That was before my father was banished from the pack. I and my mother have lived away from the pack. My mother is my father’s second wife and because he had a child with his first woman, I am not a direct descendant of the alpha bloodline. This is why my mother could not contest for the title. I had just wrapped up from college. Going to college had kept me sane for a while. But I had to go home occasionally to make sure my mom does not get lonely. My half sister, Freda, had been lost for a long time. She was to be a direct heir for the title. But Freda had showed up at the mansion. We were both stunned to see that she is alive and well. She i
Mabel’s pov“What do you mean take my place as alpha. I have no intentions of doing that. “ I heard Freda say to Mr Peterson. I stayed close to the door listening to the conversation between Freda and Mr Peterson. “Yes, yes you must. It is your legacy after all. You have to lay claim to the alpha title. It was meant to be yours. “ Mr Peterson said to Freda. “He is right. “I said stepping out of the the main building as well. “If you don’t want it, do it for your family, for us. You owe that much to us. “ I added. Freda turned to face Zack. He looked surprised and a little lost at what to do with what was unfolding before them. “Zack? “ Freda called, her question to him hanging heavily in the air. I could clearly see something strong was between both of them. They were probably in love or something. Zack sighed deeply, rubbed his face with his palm and looked at me. “I will not do it. They want me to raise a coup against you. You are alpha of the red moon pack and no one else.
Freda pov “In truth, the actual alpha of the Blood Moon pack was Freda’s father,” the Mr Peterson declared, his voice carrying the weight of revelation. I and Zack exchanged stunned glances, our minds reeling with the implications of this unexpected disclosure. “What do you mean? “ Zack asked. “My father has been alpha and his father before him. “ Zack said. “No. Freda’s father was alpha. Her father was banished and had to travel to the city. That’s when Zack parents step in as alpha Her dad vowed never to go back to the back. “ he said. “How is this possible, Mr Peterson? I know my father is a warewolf but alpha? That is too far stretched. “I said. “Oh but, that is the truth, however bitter it may sound. Your father was alpha and you are a direct descendant of the alpha line. Whether your father was banished or not. “ he replied. The Mr Peterson continued, delving deeper into the intricate tapestry of their family’s past. My father, a man of great strength and pride, had been
Freda’s povHe faced me. “I presume you have questions for me, young lady. “ he said. “I do. “ I replied. “But first, do come in, please. “ he said as he led us into the cabin. He gave us tea to drink. When he sat down with us, I started, “Mr Peterson, I just discovered that I am a warewolf but I have lived as a human all my life. How is that possible? “ I asked. Mr Peterson sighed. “I think it is time to call for a family meeting. They need to know that you are still alive. They all thought you were dead all these time. “ he said. “What do you mean by family? Is my mom alive? “ I asked, my voice shaking. Mr Peterson got up and left to make the calls. I felt Zack’s hand on my back. “It will be okay. I am right here with you. “ he said. He held my hand in his. I nodded. “Thank you, Zack” I said. I reached out and held his hand. He gave me a little squeeze with a side small. “Always “, he mouthed. He stood up and walked around the living room observing things. The cabin gave
Freda's POVZack announced to everyone that Annie had left the pack. The staff seemed to whisper among themselves. "She never said she was leaving.""It never seemed like she was ready to leave. ""I thought she was trying to get back with Lord Zack. "Zack cleared his throat and the whispers stopped. "Due to pressing personal matters that surfaced, Annie had to leave. I will appreciate if there are no whispers in her absence. " he said. "You may continue. " he announced. Zack reduced the feast days to two days for my sake. I was in no mood for more celebration. My mind was racing with thoughts. Zack, knowing well that I may not talk much with people. I mean, I just killed someone. And although it was on a basis of self defense, it did not make me feel better. I felt terrible that Annie had to die like that. I never meant harm for her. The mansion was a bit quiet without her. She was usually everywhere trying to take change of every single little thing. She put on a com
Freda’s pov“Somebody help me!!!! “ I screamed. She gripped my neck and squeezed tight. Her gaze focused on the my necklace. I have always worn it. My mother had given it to me. “No, don’t touch it. “ I said. “Awwn, I’m curious though. “ she said. Annie held it and pulled at it. Just then I felt a surge of energy through my body. I felt my body break and change. I felt my teeth grow longer. I grew to the same height as Annie. She looked at me, startled at what she was seeing. “What in the w—” she started to say. With a powerful force, I slashed at her throat, killing her on the spot. I was panting so hard, trying to catch my breath. When I had calmed down a bit, I looked down at Annie. She lay still on the ground and a lot of blood was spilling from her neck. “No no no no no. “ I said as I crouched down to her. I pressed my hands against her neck trying to stop the bleeding as much as I could. “Annie? Annie? “ I said, slapping her lightly on her face. “Wake up Annie.....
Freda's pov"Remember when you asked me to marry you? " I asked. He nodded. "Does it still stand? " I asked. "Are you saying yes? " he asked, excited. I nodded. He picked me up from the ground and rained kisses on my face. "We would hold a feast to celebrate this. " he said. He was grinning from ear to ear. "What made you change your mind by the way? I thought you wanted to wait? " he asked. Thinking of what to say, I turned around and walked towards the window. "I know I wanted to wait and I thought that was the best decision as at the time. " I said. I turned and faced him. "But I just went through a near death experience and during that moment all I could think of was you and how I could have allowed myself to be happy with what we have. Not thinking of what the people will say or think about it. " I said. I moved closer to him. "I know I kept you on hold but at that moment all I had were regrets for not taking the chance with you. " I said. I took his hands i
