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.

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.

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.

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?

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 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.....

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.
