"When you are on par with Mike then you and I will have business but for now I don't want you coming close to me".Lance said in a cold voice but then began to cough. He held his chest and waited for the cough to subside. "Do I make myself clear?""Very loud," I said. Lance left without saying anything else. His cough made me feel slightly troubled. Gray and I took a stroll silently to my workshop. It felt a bit reliving to be away from the others and just being alone with him. It strikes me as odd that Sonia was not at his side. Although, I learned Sonia preferred to babysit some of the children like Beam. They were five children and Beam seemed to be the youngest of them all. "Hayley-""Gray," I quickly interjected cutting him off. "It's not your fault. You warned me. Let's just forget about it okay."He nodded. "So what medicine do you wish to create?" he asked as we entered into the workshop. "I want to create something for Lance's cough," I said. "I'm not saying that is no
"It's for Lance, you have to be sure it's okay," picking up a rag, I cleared my work table, not minding to look at him as I spoke."It's sweet, don't worry." "Saying that only makes me worry more," Gray frowned, still staring at the cup as if it were poison. "If you die, Sonia would hunt me down, so you're safe." Patiently, I waited for him to make a decision. Gray staredat me, then at the cup, then at me again. It was rather unnecessary because it was very unwise of me to use a cup of tea to kill him, even if I had something against him."If it makes you feel better, I could take a sip," I reassured and Gray finally gulped in the entire cup at once.Cautiously, I watched his every expression to know whether or not the tea tasted okay. "This is actually pretty good," Gray smiled."I told you, it's sweet. Actually, it tasted very sour due to the lime in it, but I added a lot of milk, thus creating a sweet cough tea," my face lit up in pride."Nerd alert!" Gray laughed and I retur
"What're you talking about?" I said. Fear gripped me more when I noticed how red his eyes were. He looked so sick, yet so furious and I seemed to be the cause."Lance, please relax." Gray placed a palm on Lance's shoulder but he pushed him off. "The tea," Lance responded.He glared hard at me and I gulped."What about the tea?" I asked, fidgeting.His glare hardened but he began coughing so hard that he had to grip onto his chest for support. I watched in horror how he did not seem to stop coughing, he slipped off the table he was holding and landed on the ground, making a thud sound as he did."You promised not to tell him," I whisper-shouted at Gray who did nothing but give an apologetic look. "He ordered me, I had no choice," he defended himself. Squatting, I met with Lance who was still coughing non stop. The tea I gave him was tested and trusted and not just by Gray, but also by past werewolves. The tea had been in existence way before I was born, so there was no possible way
"I know what this is and trust me it never goes right. He's your mate, you have to care," he ran his fingers through his hair looking at me in disbelief. "Have you seen how he treats me?" I laughed out lowly, "I understand that he is alpha but I blame myself for trying to be good for him."Sharply, I left the ground I was sitting on, picked up the book I planned to read and began leaving the library too. I sensed Gray following me from behind, quiet after what I said about Lance. He was lost in his own thoughts."I appreciate all you have done and the stress you went through for me, I cannot thank you enough, honestly, but it is about time I grew up. I am not going to be a chore wolf," I finalized and his brow furrowed."A chore wolf?" he questioned as he exited the building. The bright sun hit my face and I frowned, allowing my eyes to adjust to the light. We both continued to walk like nothing happened a few minutes back."An omega," I answered. "No one sees you as that," he argue
Are you going to keep nagging me or will you prefer telling Lance that he is mistaken for his mate and perhaps suggest to him that you are his true mate instead?" I said, trying my best to sound as sarcastic as I could. Oh no! I have absolutely zero interest in Lance. Anyways, if you still don't believe me then I guess I should let you know that I am mated to Mike!"Wait, Mike was her mate? He did not strike me like someone who could be mated let alone be mated to Petra. There was nothing wrong with the pair! I told myself. They fitted well in terms of power matching one another. I was going to wish it were so for Lance and I but I remembered the promise I made silently to myself to stop giving two shits about Lancelot. "That's awesome! Although, I'm wondering why you both don't act like it?" I said, carelessly. "Mike is a tad bit worse than your Lance," Petra said. "Really? Have you seen Lance lately? How he constantly embarrasses me-""Save it! Hayley, you are weak and that is o
Come on! Where did all that fire in me go? I melted under his cold gaze as he let go of my hand."Em um I'm-""Sorry, I don't understand gibberish," Lance said. Why wouldn't I sound like that when he was shirtless and his scent did stupid things to me. "It's just that I wanted to go home for a few minutes and talk with my sister." I finally got the words out but that sounded more like I was taking permission. I wanted to demand it. "Gray," he called, looking past me. "Did I stutter?" He banged the door in my face and I shook out of fear. Gray threw his hands in the air!"I told you to leave it," he said. "But-""Why is it so difficult for you to listen to me Hayley?" Gray yelled. To think that Gray of all people would yell at me. I was downcast and I moved past him like he was a ghost. "Hayley, Hayley I'm sorry I yelled okay," he said, doubling his pace. Gray doubled his pace but still could not meet up with me. Anger, sadness and a bunch of negative emotions bubbled up withi
Then I realized something."Beam!" "What is it?" she said to me like it was forbidden to call her name. "Do you know where I can get some nails and a hammer?" I said, trying to sound like a good aunt. "Nails and hammer you say?" Beam pinched her nose with both hands, expanding the holes. "What's that?" I asked, in total confusion. "Check my nose," Beam said. Her voice was muffled. The other children laughed. I chose to ignore her and turned to leave. "Okay fine," Beam said. "Jeez, you're so grumpy. Come with me, it's in the tool box that's kept in the kitchen store."The kitchen? Not again! Whenever I went in there everyone looked at me with expectations. I was definitely not an Omega wolf or a chore wolf, whatever they thought me as. I felt a bit more relaxed though, this time, as I walked into the kitchen. I am your future Luna duh, the voice came unexpectedly and strong in my head. "Hey, the chore wolf is here again!" Tyler, Simon's brother from my pack announced. "She's
Out in the fields, Gray and I were sparring and I was pretty much getting my ass whooped. We had gone through the basic morning exercises and now he was showing me some real moves. As usual where there was a fight between two werewolves, trust there would definitely be spectators of pack mates. The summer sun glinted into my eyes as I laid on the floor in defeat and bit the dust. Gray offered me a hand and smiled down at me. I stretched out my arm and he gripped mine powerfully as he pulled me up.”Ah, you are picking up!” he said to me once I was back up on my feet.“Oh please! I’m still getting my ass kicked and you’re not even breaking a sweat.”He shrugged.“Well, I’m pretty much the second strongest person around here. So don’t beat yourself up if you feel like you’re not doing much improvement.”“What next?” I asked hungry to move on to the next lesson.“Now, you are going to come at me in your were-form, super speed, claws and fangs. I’ll try to fend you off in my normal form.
"The witches are at the castle with Vladimir" Grey told me, offsetting my balance. "What?! What are they here for? Did he tell you?" I asked, my breath hitching. If they were here for war, then I am truly fucked. At this point, I'm at the brink of losing my mind over my face, I can't tolerate any more adversities. "He said they are here for a truce" "Truce? The witches?" I looked about the hall to make sure no one was eavesdropping or nearby to hear what we were saying. "I can go and bring them here. Lucas said they had come last night but he didn't want to bother us until he confirmed they didn't use that as a camouflage" "They slept in the castle?" My eyes widened in rage. The witches are not allowed in my castle. Whatever their aim is for coming, they belong in the bush, not in a place like mine. "They left for the hotel nearby. Lance, I think they are here for good. From what Lucas said, he overheard Vladimir threatening Zara that he would make her suffer just like her peopl
When I reached the hospital, I went straight to meet my friends who happened to be in the room where Sonia was still with her baby. But this time instead of the happiness that was on her face when I left her earlier on when she gave birth, her face had gloom etched in them. She waved me to her when I came in and encumbered me in a long hug "I'm so sorry Lance, we tried everything to stop her but she wouldn't listen to us. I would have done more but you know Harley" I took her hand and kissed her knuckles "it's not your fault... I have cleared the mess. I just hope she recovers. Then this would be in the past" "What did you do to her?" Grey and Mike chorused. I exhaled thinking about the scenario that just took place at the dungeon before I came "I killed her after making sure she suffered. I tortured her with whips, and saying it right now makes me want to feel the joy I felt from back there" No one said anything, just nodded their head. Nonetheless from their faces, I could tell
LanceI rushed into the hospital shouting at the top of my voice for all the workers, who ran to me taking Harley from me. Grey was by my side tears gathered in his eyes. I have never cried as much as I cried today after she passed out."Doctor you have to do whatever it takes to restore my mate I beg you," I tell the pack doctor. Dorcas was weakened from the charm she had to pull off at the battleground, if not she would have been the right person to do this."Alpha, I will do everything I can to help our Luna if I can, I promise," He said and closed the door after him, keeping me out."Lance!" Petra ran out from another part of the hospital reminding me that they were still here. "What happened? where is she?"I couldn't say anything to anyone right now. I needed to hurt someone anything for what just happened."Grey what happened?" she asked Grey when I wasn't forthcoming with any answer "Someone say something!""I think we lost her" Mike said slowly just walking into the hospital.
The minute she was about to stab me with the sword, I closed my eyes waiting for her to give me the final blow that would take my life but it wasn't forthcoming.Then as if wanted to open my eyes to see what stopped her, something else happen. I was pulled from the ground I was kneeling and elevated to the sky all my strength returning to me.I looked about me in shock, my mouth open, my eyes wide and my hands spread wide. I looked about the battlefield and saw that the dome was now open and standing there was none other than Dorcas in a very complicating posture.She was shinning brightly with her hands pointed to me, her eyes bearing fire in them.I was still mesmerized with what is happening until I began descending until I reached the ground, my feet touching down a few feet from the wide-eyed Elena."Harley" She mouthed in awe.I was looking about my body to notice that I was no longer feeling any pain. It looked like I have been totally healed, with my body surging with so much
Harley After I saw the blood on my hand, I knew that Lance was going through something and needed my help. I didn't know how I was going to help him, I just knew I had to go there to help him in any way that I can. I had told my friends and they had tried to convince me not to go on, insisting that I don't leave. I was more than grateful that Petra had arrived so she could stay with Sonia, while I go in search of Lance to see if he was still okay. After what seemed a futile exchange with them, including Sonia trying to blackmail me emotionally into staying, I had left them my legs leading me straight to the Northern part without much resistance or search. When I entered the battlefield I was nearly overcome by the stench of blood mixed with sand oozing from the field. I stood at the entrance, scanning my eyes about until they landed in the familiar body of Lance swaying to whatever Zara had done to him. Before I knew it, I was running straight to him meaning to stop her from hurt
"Harley what are you doing stop it this minute go away!" I told her shaking my head vigorously as she stood and faced Zara."Awwn, isn't she so sweet Lance, look she wants to take your bullet" Zara riled, clapping her hands. By now the others have stopped crowding closer to see us. Grey ran to my side in concern but I pushed him toward Harley "You have to stop her I beg you" I saw the uncertainty on his face."Zara, you promised you will not hurt us, why are you doing this? I thought we had an understanding?" Harley forged flailing her hands about."I made no such stupid promise Harley, I wouldn't be so foolish as to say that after what Lance did to me and my people" Venom was laced in her voice as she uttered it."Please Zara we can settle this without any fracas" Harley reasoned at the adamant ZaraZara started rolling her hands about once more "I think I have overstayed my welcome Harley, it's time for your Lance to pay for what he did" she was talking and still rolling her hands a
LanceLooking at the way Harley was holding unto that baby, I experience a kind of contentment and joy I never knew I could. I was amazed at how beautiful and perfect the baby looked in her arms.When she asked me to hold him I nearly passed out with fright. Me, hold a baby. I have never held a baby and the very notion of holding one was flabbergasting. For once I wanted to decline but the look on her face doesn't brook any argument so I had to take the pup in my arm.It was incredible the way I felt once the child was in my arm and Harkey was close to me still cooing to him. I imagined what it would be like for us to have our child, which made my heart soar when I thought of the fact that he or she was on the way already.My eyes instinctively found hers smiling when I saw her touch her stomach earlier on, thinking how our baby would baby look."Touch him like this" She had instructed me on how to tweak the rosy cheek which I did, eliciting a hint of a smile from the little one. Wow,
It has been a week now since the letter was sent to the witches but there was yet to be any response from them. I had rushed back that day to stop the letter from going, being that I have a new resolution, only to find out that the omega had sent it. Ever since then, I have been training seriously and waiting for them. It happened just as we had envisaged. The witches didn't attack as they had promised. Three days have passed and now it's the seventh day. Nothing. "Lance, are you going to stand there doing nothing or come to help me button up my dress?" Harley whined from where she is standing struggling with her morning dress. "Harley, don't you think this dress is too big for you? " I taunted her to see her blush through the mirror. I relished in seeing her blush whenever I riled her up. She soon regained her feistiness, swung her hair, and huffed out loudly "Say all you can Lancelot, you can't piss me off this morning" she applied a rouge lips gloss on and picked her bag from t
"What?!" How can they say such? And why would they even inform me in the first place? They have been attacking for a long time and haven't given me any time why would they suddenly start giving me a hint as to when they would come?"This is fishy. I smell something awkward" I said my thought aloud."I think so too" Grey concurred "The witches never give notice before an attack." he confirms my fear "I think it's a detour deception" He forged on "They want you to think they are coming in three days and prepare for that, then boom they attack tomorrow or next"That was exactly what I thought. I started strolling in the direction of the terrace. This is becoming daunting. I swore a long time ago not to fight in a long time to come but the witches are really getting on my last nerve. I'm working hard to be on their good side so that they would lift the curse that was ravaging my mate but that doesn't mean I'm a fool or don't know what I'm supposed to do."We would prepare Lance. This is
