Chapter 39 Kaine's POV. I was in my house making a call that night. Telling the person from the other end that I'll be back soon and that they should wait before deciding anything. Before I could decide anything I would notice a figure lurking in the shadows and abruptly end the call to go investigate it. Getting outside I didn't see anything and was rather confused. Going back inside I heard the footsteps once again and followed it. But the figure was lucky to escape as the figure was equally as fast as I was or even faster. Annoyed, I'll go back home and prepare for my journey while thinking who the mysterious stalker was. I shut my doors, went round the house, looked through the windows and shut them too. Adjusted my dark flowered curtains to fit in the size of my window. I paced back and forth in my apartment, trying to make sense of the situation. Who was that lurking figure I saw? Why were they following me? These questions swirled in my mind, fueling a mix of curiosity a
Zack's POVBreathing heavily, I was happy that I knew where Kaine was going and was thinking of a plan.But then I was frustrated at how Kaine found me out. If it was not because Kaine lost me because I was Lucky, he would have seen me.That was it. Going back home I entered my room but was shocked when I heard a voice behind me asking me where I was.I turned around to find Freda standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with concern. I hadn't expected her to wake up and catch me sneaking back into the house. Panic surged through me as I tried to come up with a convincing explanation."Freda, what are you doing up?" I stammered, desperately searching for a way to divert her attention from my late-night excursion.Her gaze narrowed, and she crossed her arms, clearly not buying my feeble attempt at deflection. "Don't try to change the subject, Zack. I asked you a question. Where were you?"I sighed, realizing that there was no use hiding the truth from her. Freda had always been percepti
Chapter 41Freda’s POVAs I climbed into bed, the tiredness washed over me, urging me to drift into a peaceful slumber. But just as my eyes fluttered shut, a sudden realization jolted me awake. I remembered that there was something important I needed to tell Zack. An idea so urgent that it couldn’t wait until morning. Determined to find him, I swung my legs out from under the covers and slipped into my slippers.As I made my way through the darkened hallway, the moonlight filtering in through the curtains cast eerie shadows on the floor. My heart raced, partly due to the urgency of my message, but also because of the events that had been unfolding recently. Zack and I were not just close friends; we were practically inseparable. We shared a deep bond that went beyond friendship, almost like family. And there was something about Zack that set him apart from others— I felt like that something was happening to him.Living together in the same house, we had been through countless advent
Chapter 42Kaine's POVI sat behind the wheel, my grip tightened on the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white. The night air whistled through the open windows of the car, carrying with it a sense of urgency. The pack needed me, and I had to be there. My instincts, honed over years of being a werewolf, told me that something was amiss, and I couldn’t afford to waste any time.The road stretched out ahead, illuminated only by the pale glow of the moon. The night was eerily quiet, save for the low hum of the engine and the rhythmic beating of my heart. The weight of responsibility pressed upon me, each mile drawing me closer to the pack, closer to the answers I sought.As I drove, my senses sharpened, my wolf instincts guiding me. But just as I approached a desolate stretch of road, a sudden shift in the atmosphere jolted me. The scent of danger hung heavy in the air, and my muscles tensed in anticipation. The rogue wolf, hidden in the shadows, was about to make its move.With light
Chapter 43Kaine’s POVUrgency coursed through my veins as I approached the heart of the pack's den. My eyes darted from face to face, searching for the pack's trusted physician, an old man whose wisdom and healing prowess were renowned. The fate of Freda rested upon his shoulders, and I needed to find him swiftly."Where is the pack physician?" I called out, my voice echoing with a mix of desperation and determination.A young pack member stepped forward, his eyes reflecting concern. "Kaine, he's by the creek tending to injured pack members. Shall I fetch him for you?"I nodded, gratitude washing over me. "Please, go find him and bring him here. Time is of the essence."Without a moment's hesitation, the young pack member sprinted off, disappearing into the darkness. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat a reminder of the urgency that propelled me forward. Pack members turned their heads, their eyes widening with a mix of care, sadness, and confusion. Their gazes fixated on the wo
Chapter 44Freda’s POVAs I lay on the bed in the pack's infirmary, my mind drifted back to the events that led me here. It all began with that conversation in my apartment with Zack. The memory played like a vivid reel in my mind.Zack paced back and forth, his face etched with worry. "Freda, we need to make them believe that you're injured. It's the only way to keep you safe."I frowned, feeling a mixture of apprehension and curiosity. "But why, Zack? What's going on?"He took a deep breath, trying to find the right words. "There are forces at play, Freda, forces that could pose a danger to you. We need to protect you, and the best way to do that is to make them think you're hurt."I crossed my arms, feeling a surge of unease. "This sounds risky, Zack. What if something goes wrong?"Zack's eyes met mine, filled with determination. "I won't let anything happen to you, Freda. I promise. We've planned everything carefully. We'll use my blood to create the illusion of your injuries. It'
Chapter 45Freda POV The physician looked at me with a mixture of surprise and curiosity as I handed him the token. It was a small, silver token with intricate engravings that I had found in my pocket earlier that day. He was puzzled as to how I had come across it, and I could tell he was eager to hear the explanation.Taking a deep breath, I gathered my thoughts and began to speak. "Doctor, I must tell you that it was Zack who gave me this token. He's alive." The words hung in the air, and I could see the disbelief in the physician's eyes. After all, Zack had been missing for months, presumed dead.The physician leaned forward, his curiosity intensifying. "Where did you see him? Are you sure it wasn't a case of mistaken identity?"I sat nervously in the bed, fidgeting with my hands as I prepared to reveal the truth. The weight of the secret I had been carrying was becoming unbearable, and I knew I had to confide in someone I could trust. The physician, with his kind and underst
Chapter 46Freda POV As the physician left the room, I felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness. I knew that the conversation I was about to have with the elders would be crucial. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. Moments later, the physician returned, accompanied by two elderly figures who carried an air of wisdom and authority.The elders looked at me with a mixture of curiosity and concern. Their eyes held the weight of years of experience, and I could sense that they were prepared to listen to what I had to say. I cleared my throat and began to speak, hoping that my words would convey the truth that lay at the core of our secret.“Thank you for coming,” I said, my voice steady but tinged with nervousness. “I understand that you have questions about Zack.”The elder on the left, a woman with silver hair and kind eyes, nodded. “Indeed, we do. We have been informed that Zack is living with you and that you have been keeping his identity a secret.”I nodded,
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.
