Kaine’s povIn the dark, cold cave, I layed out a map of the entire Red moon pack territory. I observed the plains and routes. I have been in hiding for a few months now. Hiding from my brother, Zack. Ever since my defeat at the town square, I have been running from him. Not for my life though. I know my brother, no matter what I do to him, he will never kill me. Even though he came close to killing me once. I had to run because I did not want to be in prison. Being in prison will limit me from being able to plot against him. Of course there is no way I will accept defeat. As long as I am alive, I will become alpha again. Yes I underestimated my brother’s tenacity for survival, but that will never happen again. I will make sure I cover every ends. Right now, the mission is to bring Zack down. We have to look for creative ways to do that. Everything is going Zack’s way. He even has Freda by his side. Though I sided with Kaine just so I can get her back. He still got her in the end.
Zack’s pov“Plum, come on, let’s eat lunch “ she say. She ran across the field towards to me as she called to me. “Hello, wife! “ I said as I gave her a sweet kiss on her lips. “Husband! “ she purred. The sound of that was music to my ears. I inhaled deeply to get as much scent from her as I could. “I love it how you say it. “ I said against her lips. “What? Husband? “ she said again. “I ought to have you for lunch. “ I said in a deep voice. “Mommy, daddy! “ a little girl called as she ran over to us. “Oops, I guess not today. “ she teased. I gave her a side eye as I opened my arms wide. The little girl jumped into my arms as I lifter her up. “Mummy, where did you go to? Daddy says lunch is reach. “ she says to me. “Oh honey, I went to get some flowers for you. “ Freda says to her. She gave her the flowers in her hands. “Thanks mommy, they’re beautiful. “ she says. “Let’s go in. “ I say. She nodded in agreement. Just as we were about to enter the cabin, suddenly it got da
Annie’s povThe bustling sound of humans, the loud honking of cars and the consistent barking of the stray dog down the alley all depicted just another cold Friday morning in Manhattan. The sound of a crow is also not too far off. I woke up just like every morning. It had become a routine. My alarm rings at five thirty am in the morning. I get up and put on some comfy clothes for my early morning routinely yoga. For some reason, it keeps me alive and sane. During yoga, I love to play some quiet slow tune music or acoustic mix. It helps me channel my inner peace and keeps my mind away from the demons. I have dreams to put it lightly. They are mostly nightmares though. I dream of things and events that I cannot really understand. They are just dreams after all, I tell myself most times. But why do they feel so real and close to touch? Why does it seem as though they haopened? Happened to me, but like a long time ago. Who are these people I keep seeing? They seem like they love m
Kaine’s povWe went past mountains and plains as we journeyed to a new land. I, Darren and Lucas are in search of Annie, Zack’s wife. Lucas had confirmed that she is alive and that he knows where to find her. He was very assuring. Though other leads concluded that she is dead, I had refused to believe that story. The story Zack had told us in the past, though we believed it, was very shady. Back then I didn’t need to pursue the story because I had what I wanted; to be alpha of the red moon pack. Although, when she was still with us, I liked her personality. I didn’t mind her being around Zack. When she had lost their baby, I had felt sorry for her. She had become very sad and was always quiet. She rarely spoke and it was almost as if she had given up on life. Here and now, I need her for my scheme to go into play. We went oversees in search of her. Lucas seemed to know what he was doing. Every lead we got was very credible. Either people in the area had seen her before or she use
Zack’s povMeanwhile, in a distant land known for its serene lake country, I and Aidan had finally arrived. Our quest to find Annie had led us to this foreign territory. I had made us leave on such short notice. Leaving the pack was on an impromptu instinct. I had doubt’s about Annie being alive. At first, it started out as a mere rumor. I had felt it was my brother, Kaine’s effort to ruin and distract my relationship with Freda. He has always had eyes for her; then again he has always had eyes for what is mine. I had ignored and refused to believe the rumors flying around. But then again, little moments and incidents bring up the fact that there is a possibility that Annie is still alive. First it was that informant who was a dancer. She had approached me and secretly whispered to me that Annie is still alive. She had also told me where to start looking. “If you want to find your long lost wife, Annie. Look for me beyond the sees. “ was what she had said. I had just brushed it
Freda’s pov It is just another Monday. I have a full day ahead of me. I am on morning shift this week. I get up from my bed, stretch off the rest of the sleep, and I look at the time. It was five thirty am in the morning. Enough time for an early morning run. Lately I had adopted the habit of running in the morning. I do it most times before work. I discovered it is good therapy for all the emotional and mental stress I have been going through these past few days. From rescuing the alpha of a prominent pack, to falling in love with him, to having to deal with members of the pack, I would say my life has turned to a series with many episodes. Compared to how simple my life was previously, I must say, ‘What a drastic change it is’. If it weren’t for my love for Zack and his love for me, I would almost miss my old life. My old, simple and predictable way of life sans all the drama. Now I live in a mansion with a man I love; baggage and all. Walking to my wardrobe, I strip of my ni
(Freda's pov) I sighed in slight relief as I once again took note of the day of the week. It is Friday today and my last day to work for the week. Weekends were my off days. Yes, I love my job and I love helping patients get better, recover and adapt to a new ways of improvement. Regardless, I am still a human, who needs rest every once a while. I work really hard during the week, and rarely have time for rest or to spend time with Zack who on the other hand, is also busy ruling his pack. Neither of our jobs are a joke. Besides only on the weekend do I get to spend quality time with Zack. My day started with attending to three different patients in a row. I listened, diagnosed and prescribed drugs as required. Around twelve thirty, I went for a lunch break. I headed to the hospital's canteen. I ordered some burgers along with some fries. I headed to sit down on an empty row. Soon, I was joined on the table by a fellow doctor and a nurse. "Hello Freda. " Dr. Grey, who we
Zack’s pov“Okay, Dr. Anderson, I will just go ahead and—“a woman started to say and then stopped short. Seemed like she was coming out of Freda’s office. “Oh, Zack, meet Annie, she’s my patient and also my friend. “ Freda said. By heavens, it was Annie. This is impossible, I must be dreaming. But this dream has gone too far. How is that Annie is here, standing before me. My eyes widened and it must have looked like I had seen a ghost. Well it felt like I had just seen a ghost from the past that I very much knew “I can’t believe it... Annie, is that really you?”Annie’s face lit up with recognition. “Za.... Zack?..... Is that you? Is it really you, Zack? “ it was almost like a whisper but I could hear it clearly. I and Annie stared at each other with a familiar gaze. We seemed to be lost in a world that both of us were the only characters. “Zack? “ “What is going on? “ I heard Annie ask. It seemed like her voice was coming from a far distance. Before I knew what was happenin
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
