Chapter 67"Oh no! No...no...no. Did Helen just say greyhound? That monster wouldn't be in search of me, right? I hate him!!! I do. He turned me into something miserable and made pain my friend. Oh my goodness!", Accalia soliloquized to herself silently.She held her face and looked at the mirror on the bathroom wall. She looked beautiful. The eyebags that felt permanent on her face, were completely gone and the flesh on her face was full and soft.Her brows had grown fuller and the arc on which they were shaped brought her emerald eyes to view. Accalia's nose was narrowed beautifully and her once-hollow cheekbones were full of flesh making her jawline, something of goddess form.Earlier, on her way to Rachel's place, she met some young girls by the road whispering to themselves who giggled before approaching her complimenting her on her beauty."Miss Accalia, right?", the shorter girl asked while the others nodded. Of the three girls, she must have been the boldest. "Yes, dears. Is
Chapter 68The ladies bade goodbyes to each other in the evening. Accalia's route was opposite Helen's,so they dispersed at the crossroads.Accalia walked home quietly with her mind roving with thoughts of despair. She wondered on the entire greyhound news she had heard from Helen. Greyhounds meant nothing good and with her history,she was certain it was bad omen. Soon she arrived home and having no appetite for food and no motivation to mix spices and oils,she decided to walk to the brook close to her home. There was a little path that led to the brook. It was barely dark,so she intended to be back before nightfall.Walking on the path,filled with scattered leaves, Accalia kept thinking hard. She arrived at the brook and the peaceful ambience gave her a soothing comfort. Accalia found a log of wood to sit, paying no attention to her environment. She thought of her mother. How she had been kidnapped and kept captive before her death. All that monster had ever done was add misery to
Chapter 69Accalia was thrilled to have Ethan's lips entangled with her's. She couldn't believe it. Without holding back,she kissed him back. Ethan's hands wrapped her waist in a warm hug as he stared at her after they disentangled from the kiss."You are the most beautiful woman,I've set my eyes on", Ethan said calmly to her.Accalia blushed at his comment. No one made her feel so hopeless like him. Nightfall was already upon them. Ethan held her hands and walked her home. "So,what is pretty doing tomorrow?", Ethan asked as they walked."Hmm..I plan to do some early morning market runs. I haven't produced any oils yet and I want to begin",she replied."Ouch! I thought I'll be privileged to be part of your day", Ethan said, holding his chest playfully like he was hurt.Accalia laughed at his little act and patted his arms. "Well,if you really want to spend time with me, you can come to the house when I'm back and help with the oils. I promise to cook something delicious", Accalia sai
Chapter 70Accalia filled her bag with different sizes of the perfumes and oils and set out. Although she didn't plan to step out that day,she changed her mind. She would sell the bottles to some of the town's people,who had pre-ordered.She had four stops before returning home to rest. Her first stop would be at her landlady's house. The old lady had requested for some moisturising oil for her frail hands. Accalia walked up the porch and knocked on the door."Who's there?",Lady Belle called out."Oh it's me, Accalia", Accalia replied."Awww! My sweet child. Come on in",the old lady said sweetly leading Accalia in."You have a lovely home,Lady", Accalia complimented."Thank you. I love a warm home",the lady replied."Explains why the fireplace is crackling", Accalia joked to herself."I made the sweetest breadbuns you can imagine. Please sit let me get you some coffee to go with the buns",Lady Belle offered."No.. please Ma'am. I'm afraid I won't stay for tea. I still have three house
Chapter 71Once or twice, Accalia's thoughts fell on Ethan. She wondered if he had stopped by the house while she was away. Immediately Accalia hastened her steps. To get home faster,she decided to use a shorter route.It was evening already and Accalia passed others who also tried to get home for a warm meal and some rest. Accalia turned to smile at some young boys who ran past her, chasing themselves when her eyes fell on Ethan.She gasped in shock as she saw the man who had professed love to her, walking out of a house with a beautiful blonde lady holding him close. The town was a small one and everyone knew everyone. Even though Accalia was still new,she knew this lady. Her name was Penney.Penney was the drama queen of the town and from what Accalia heard,she was chased by so many men and she enjoyed the attention she got.Accalia watched as she clung to Ethan like he was some trophy and gave him a peck on the cheek, before Ethan excused himself and she went back in. Accalia's gu
Chapter 72After a short nap, Accalia and Ethan lay close to each other peacefully as Ethan rubbed her back gently. Only the sound of their breaths could be heard and they loved the quietness, until Ethan broke the silence."I want to make you mine, Accalia. Please do you want that?", Ethan asked.The question took Accalia by surprise,she looked up and met his eyes staring down at her. "Really?",she retorted."Of course love. You have no idea how much I love my space sometimes. But since I met you,all I fantasize about is you in my arms as mine. I want you. And I'll love to enjoy the peace I have with you, Accalia Monae", Ethan replied softly."Yes. Yes. I'll love that a lot", Accalia said excitedly and they kissed.They were about to go further than the kiss when Ethan paused to say something. "So,that includes you being my plus one for the coronation, you know that right?"."I know that handsome. I can't wait", Accalia said laughing."Wonderful! I like red. Would love to see you in
Chapter 73 "Accalia? The new pack mate?", Gabriel gasped in shock.Ethan snapped his fingers at him to get his attention back. "Do you need a shock absorber?", Ethan said, smiling."Really? It's her? Or you're just trying to fill her up in the bedroom?", Alpha Gabriel asked and began to walk."No.. Never. You know me too well for such business", Ethan protested. "She's my mate",he finally said."Are you for real?", Gabriel paused again shocked."Yes. And it's the best feeling ever. I didn't think I'll say this but I can't get enough of her and she feels the same about me", Ethan explained."Wow! Ethan! This is surprisingly good but how? You barely speak to her so how would you know she's your mate?", Alpha Gabriel asked still in shock."I've never told anyone this but that day in the market,when you asked her to walk to me while you get the things we needed, our senses and innerwolf connected and chose each other. It was a scary feeling having another, especially a female to invade m
Chapter 74It's a week to the coronation and lives have been moving smoothly for everyone in town,with people anticipating the grand event. Ethan and Accalia have been doing just fine and it's no more a secret that they're mates.For Helen and Alpha Max,they couldn't wait to be official. Helen had pleaded that he should wait till after the coronation,then they could plan their joining and Max agreed.The ladies met almost everyday to make sure that everything would go according to plan. Accalia stopped producing some oils,so she could help out undistracted. Their dresses were yet to be ready and they still had to settle on the decorations for the event.Helen was to meet with the decorator and was preparing to leave the house when she heard a knock on her door. She wasn't expecting anyone, so she was hesitant to open. After several knocks,which means the visitor wouldn't leave until she opened,she moved to the door."Heyy! Baby! You didn't say you were coming", Helen said in surprise,
Chapter 94Ethan became emotional as his bride walked up to him. The wedding was officiated by the Alpha of the pack,Alpha Gabriel. They were both directed to say their vows and then the joining vine was tied on their hands before they were declared married.Before the Alpha directed them to kiss themselves, Ethan had covered Accalia's mouth passionately, leaving the guests screaming, pleasurably. The couple walked out excitedly hand in hand amidst cheers from everyone.With no delay,they all moved to the wedding reception dinner held at Ethan's home. The place was decorated beautifully and guests were directed to sit at the long table,filled with assorted food,cake,meats and wine.Ethan and Accalia took their place at the head of the table. Everyone had their plates full with whatever food they chose,dished by one of the staff. Helen sat close to Max and occasionally,she would help Adam to some food, especially the meats that he had an issue, cutting into pieces.Alpha Gabriel helped
Chapter 93Accalia gave a light laugh to everyone's surprise. "It was beautiful",she gasped as she was helped to sit up by Ethan."My mother was thrilled to see me. Same with my dad. They looked happy and blessed me. They made me promise to love you with all of my heart", Accalia said pointing to Ethan who was smiling in relief."Ahh! Who knew you could take all of that in?"Helen asked with surprise."I didn't say it,but I wanted to know how I became an Omicron. I needed to ask my parents. And I'm happy I did get answers. It turns out my late great grandfather was an Omicron before he died", Accalia said."They explained the ways of an Omicron to me and what I shouldn't do to avoid me getting in trouble. I really needed to hear what I heard, honestly", Accalia said, relieved."Wow! That's good. Each werewolf has its way,so it's good that you've found your own kind to speak to you",Alpha Max said."But.. something else was there, isn't it? We saw you jerking violently in torments", Gab
Chapter 92Just as Helen was stomping off angrily,she walked in on Gabriel and Ethan having a light conversation. The men noticed the foul mood, Helen seemed to be in and they got curious."Is everything okay?", Ethan asked looking around for Accalia."That depends! Ask your wife!",she said and walked off. Immediately,she said that, Ethan was taken aback at her response and he flinched. Helen had never been that rude to him. Dashing into the room,he left Alpha Gabriel,who was trying to pacify Helen in search of Accalia. He hoped there was nothing wrong with her.Ethan breathed out in relief when he swiftly opened the door and met Accalia and Rachel having a low conversation. Although, Rachel looked gloomy,he was relieved there was nothing wrong with her.He breathed the air and caught the whiff scent of a growing foetus and paused. Ethan tried to ascertain where the scent came from when his wolf eyes scanned through the ladies,and spotted a growing and kicking foetus in Rachel.Ethan
Chapter 91Accalia and Ethan got back to town quite late and they decided she was sleeping over at his place. Helen was arriving in town the next day,so Accalia had to meet her early and try her dress, before people would flock in to say hello to the Luna of the Northern kingdom.Accalia got up early,whipped some breakfast for Ethan who was still in bed before dashing out. She was in a hurry. Few steps from arriving at Rachel's home,she saw Helen arrive. She walked with two people who helped her around with her bags."Helen! I'm sorry Luna!", Accalia screamed excitedly.The ladies shared a warm hug and after some time,they disentangled from the hug. Accalia politely greeted the entourage that came with Helen and they bowed respectfully at her. Helen looked glorious and happy."Good thing I ran into you first, before the whole town hears that the Queen of the North is here. We should meet up with Rachel inside", Accalia said taking the bag of clothes from her."Right away!", Helen affi
Chapter 90The news of Accalia and Ethan's engagement was received well by everyone. The town wasn't exactly surprised because they had expected it, seeing how much Ethan loved Accalia. The couple had decided to make their wedding a very simple one attended by only close friends and family.Ethan still had his quiet personality but since he and Accalia got together,he was less of an introvert.When the news got to Helen in her kingdom,she was elated. She made Accalia promise to allow her make her gown for the day. Accalia didn't want the loud and large gown,but a unique gracious gown,fit for her.Accalia was going to move out of the house,soon to live with Ethan in his bigger house,so they decided to have a simple wedding by the side of the brook by Accalia's house,while the wedding dinner would take place at Ethan's home.With their decision to have a smaller wedding, Accalia and Ethan had few things to do. They had chosen their outfits and food for friends,so all that was left was t
Chapter 89It was just a week after Helen and Max's wedding but yet things had gone back to normal. But of course,the stories about the wedding was still in the news,with people reliving the memories.Life had gone back to normal for Accalia and she had started her oils and perfumes production,when she was back from the wedding. Ethan would always check up on her if she needed anything,but truly he was just being careful that she didn't fall unconscious again.It was a rainy morning and since, Accalia couldn't go out to sell some oils,cause of the rain,she decided to cook herself some hot oatmeal with raisins. She had just poured some of the oats into the boiling water and began to stir slowly,when she heard a knock on her window.The rain hit harder,so she didn't see clearly from the window but she knew that only one person would come in the rain to visit her. She rushed to the door and opened to Ethan,who was drenched with water. "Baby! To what do I owe this surprise?",she said tea
Chapter 88The wedding finally came to its end and the newly married couple waved their byes to all their guests, from far and near and thanked everyone who had gifted them. Max's chambers was quiet and the golden lamps in the large corridor gave the house a soothing feeling. Max held Helen's hands as they walked to their room. Adam had slept off earlier and his nanny had tucked him bed.Alpha Max had instructed all the staff that worked in his home, to go back home and get some rest with his families, because he wanted to be with his wife,and didn't want anyone to interfere or eavesdrop on them.Werewolves had a fantastic sense of hearing and he didn't want anyone to hear the moans that would escape from his wife's mouth. Helen stepped into the room and for the first time in the day,she breathed out.Max went behind her and unzipped her dress and the material fell to the ground, revealing Helen's underwear and corset top. He also helped her to unhook it and gently massaged the lines
Chapter 87Soon Accalia, began to feel warm smiles and hugs from everyone. People were impressed at how lively she was, and not even showing any sign of pain. Accalia bowed to the old Alpha and Alpha Gabriel."You look beautiful,dear and thank you for coming back home to us", Alpha Gabriel said, ignoring her bow and hugging her instead."Thank you my Alpha,it's good to be home",she replied."And if it isn't the strong and brave Accalia, who decided to gift us her treasured presence at my wedding", Alpha Max said cheerfully and hugged her from behind."It's my pleasure to bother the handsome groom with my unnoticed presence. Why would I miss the delicious meals,we planned to have on the menu today?", Accalia joked and Max was thrown in fits of laughter."Thank you for coming back",Max said and Accalia bowed politely.Ethan was about to wrap his hands around Accalia when several hands knocked his off and hugged Accalia instead. It was Eunice and her friends. They all looked beautiful in
Chapter 86" Baby I don't care about what or who you turned to. I'm just glad you are back. I was loosing my mind, everyone was", Ethan said holding Accalia's face on his hands.Her face had received some of its glow and her smile was still as beautiful as ever. She smiled at him and they kissed. It wasn't a kiss based on lust. It was a passionate kiss of hope and contentment."Your face and love we shared was the one thing I held on to in that dark place,I found myself", Accalia said."I have gone through so many hateful and frightening things in my existence but your love was the gleam of hope that led me through it all",She said."And I'm sure that of Helen and Rachel, especially Helen's loud chatter and laughter", Accalia joked.Ethan still stared at her dumbstruck at how lively she became from the motionless being she had been for several weeks. He was certain the whole town would erupt in excitement. "Ethan? Where is everyone? Did they give up on me already?",she asked suddenly
