CHAPTER 31 LIAM’S POV. I got to Freda’s workplace twenty five minutes later and called her hoping she’d pick my call immediately. After several times the phone rang, she finally picked it and I heaved a sigh of relief. I walked into the hospital at her behest and went to the second floor, trying to locate her office with the description she gave me. After what seemed like three minutes, i finally located it. I saw her seated majestically on her seat the moment I stepped foot on the floor, her face glowing bright with happiness at my arrival. She waved energetically when I made eye contact with her. “Li, you made it! Come here,” She said and I smiled lightly before taking a few strides towards her, my eyes not leaving hers. I held the file firmly till I got to the table and dropped it. So many thoughts running through my mind. “Oh, thanks so much,” She said hastily and I simply nodded. She took another glance at me before flashing me a light smile. “You look really good tod
CHAPTER 32 FREDA’S POV. It was a rainy day and I was in my room preparing for work. It was frustrating because the weather made me feel dizzy and weak. I was almost struggling not to crawl back to my bed, under my duvet and to sleep off with a couple of pillows till afternoon. My headache worsened as time passed by. I wondered what could have caused the headache, but I could barely think of anything besides the horrible pain in my head. I sighed deeply when the ringing phone disturbed the quietness of my room. It was a phone call from Vivian. I picked the call slowly but the panicked voice of Vivian made me startled for a while before I regained my composure. “Where are you Freda?” She questioned loudly but I chose not to answer her, because I didn’t want to. “What’s the matter? You really sound unlike you?” I said and sighed. “Please, be here as soon as possible! Our boss is looking for you,” She sounded really Frantic. “Mrs Smith is also looking for you, and none of us kn
CHAPTER 33LIAM’S POV I was all by myself in the house, thinking of a way I could confess my feelings to Freda. I was now sure that I love her and I wouldn’t want to inconvenience her. I could inconvenience her by spoiling our friendship just by confessing my feelings to her when I wasn’t sure that she was in her right state of mind. Darren made Freda give up on love the moment they broke up, so I couldn’t say about that moment. It’s been a while since I and Freda had a moment of our own, because she has been busy recently with her job. “What is going on?” I asked myself the moment I realized that Freda and myself hasn’t spent time for a while. I sighed and picked up my phone, expecting to see a text from her, but to my utmost disappointment, I saw nothing. It was already late and I knew that Freda would return very soon, I also knew that I needed to freshen up because I really looked messy. I stood up from my bed, heading towards the bathroom when I suddenly felt a jolt run
CHAPTER 34 FREDA’S POV. I was in my bedroom sleeping peacefully because I was given an off, just for my phone to ring loudly. I tossed around the bed and picked the phone, and opened an eye just to see Mrs Smith as the caller ID. “Hello,” She said immediately I picked the call. with sleepy eyes. The next thing I heard shocked me to the marrows. I was needed in the office! Obviously, I love working and caring for the patients, but I needed rest. I had been happy since the previous night thinking I was given a day off, just for me to be summoned to the hospital with immediate effect. I sluggishly stood from the bed, and dragged my legs into the bathroom. I entered the bathroom and stayed in the bathtub for close to 20 minutes, enjoying the way the water massaged my skin. I came out a few minutes later, wrapped in a towel as I quickly went towards my closet. It took me close to thirty minutes before I was able to settle on what I was going to wear. I settled for a white shirt
Chapter 35 FREDA’S POV I walked back to my office with different thoughts rummaging in my head. I was tired and confused. “Why was he so bothered and tried to find out much about Zack,” I kept on wondering and entered my office. I knew I wasn’t needed in the office, since I had met Kaine who wanted my presence in his office urgently but I wanted some time alone so I could think. I was wondering if I could ask Zack if he knew him, but I sighed when I remembered that he doesn’t remember his past. I was about to go out for a walk, so I could calm my nerves and relax my mind. I stood and was about to leave when my phone rang loudly. I dipped my hand into my handbag and brought out my phone, checking the caller ID and my eyes widened when I saw ‘Liam’ as the caller ID. I had not changed the name to Zack or rather still, I have not had the time to change it. I picked the call quickly and placed it on my right ear, as I walked back to my seat. “Hey,” His voice sounded lively over
CHAPTER 36ZACK’S POV. I was excited but not really excited. So the fool I have hated all along, even in my stormer state was my brother!How dare Kaine? Despite everything we’ve been through together as the only children of our late parents. I was angry and I knew my identity that moment. I wasn’t an ordinary human being, in fact I was a werewolf!Now that explains everything!The fact that I’ve been seeing my body shift into things I couldn’t decipher...the fact that I’ve always heard and seen wolves snarling at me. They all make sense now!But Kaine! It’s been long I stayed in my pack....and it seemed like the worst mistake of my life. I was in the pack when I was still a child, and I addressed the people in cabinet when the Alpha of our pack dies. I suddenly traveled abroad so I could study and avoid anything that would make people know my true identity. It’s been years I stayed abroad and I was sure and certain that nobody from my pack would recognize me, even if I pass
Chapter 37. Freda’s POV. For a while that I’ve been paying attention to Zack, I noticed that he was lost in thoughts. I know how he has been craving to deal with his brother, but I’ve always wished for him to take things easy.“Zack!” I suddenly called from the kitchen, and he turned back. “Yes,” Zack responded. “Have you managed to remember how you cooked when you had amnesia?” I asked, trying to divert his attention from his thoughts. Zack simply chuckled and nodded. “Cooking was my hobby....I cooked a lot when I stayed abroad, and I learnt new dishes,” Zack said smilingly, as I mouthed an O. “No wonder,” I muttered as I diverted my attention to the food I was preparing, but even still, my mind roamed about. I was really worried about Zack, and his thoughts that I didn’t notice when he tiptoed behind me, with the intention of scaring me. But I was quick to notice the presence of someone behind me, that I had turn quickly. “Uhmmm,” I gulped nervously, because he stood so
CHAPTER 38Zack’s POV. DINNER TIMEWe ate slowly and quietly and the only sound heard was the sounds of our spoons. I was irked with the silence, as it brought about awkwardness between us. “So tell me, how are you doing?” I asked the moment I couldn’t endure the silence again. “I’m good,” She flashed me a beautiful smile.“You’ve been acting weird since you got back from the hospital,” I said, and she quickly glanced up to look at me. “Really?” She asked, but instead, I gave her a blank expression. She herself knew she acted really weird since she got back from the hospital, but doesn’t want to acknowledge it. “Fine,” She breathed deeply, before she continued, “I’m sorry, but I was really tired when I came back, and maybe that’s why it seemed like I was acting weird,” She said slowly as I simply nodded. “So what exactly made your day more stressful?” I asked and she chuckled lightly “More patients were admitted today...so it was more stressful for me,” She said and I mouthed
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
