"What's going on?" I asked no one in particular. Everyone was even busier than I had ever seen.I had been in my workshop since after healing Lance. He fell asleep and I was glad that he could finally rest without actually having a fear of dying of the curse. Finally, I saved him.But I still had no idea why the entire pack was so busy, I wanted to be sure that someone was coming and the person was really important but Grey or Lance would've told me ahead."Beam!" I shouted her name immediately and I caught sight of her. She looked my way and a wide smile spread across her face as she walked up to me."Hayley," she said."What's happening here?" I asked her at once."Well, we're celebrating," she replied in a duh tone."Whose birthday?" I pressed on and she scoffed."Nobody today," she shrugged."Will you just tell me?" I blurted out, already irritated."I was asked no to, but I'll tell everyone that you threatened and forced the information out of me," she smiled and I gave her a fla
Still in the room Beam had led me to, I marveled at everything Beam had achieved in her art. Drawings of werewolves in different shifting forms were pasted in one out of the four walls of the room. My senses offered a tingle when I realized that we were both all alone. Before I could say what I was about to say, I felt someone punch me with a spiked glove. Beam screamed out of fear! She ran towards the door trying to open it, but surprisingly we had been locked in from the outside.I tried to fend off the attacker but he was too strong. Even when I wolfed out in partial form, I was just managing to barely defend. He drove his knee into my rib cage and I felt the air crushed out of my lungs. I dropped on my knees and he pinned me on the floor, stepping on my throat. I knew for sure that we were going to die here, alone, unheard and probably discovered much later. I felt pity for Beam. Earlier, Lance had sort of stopped reading my thoughts and emotions. The attacker was cladded in a hoo
The atmosphere was solemn as I walked past people demurely-dressed. There was no music but I could almost imagine a quiet piano playing at a far distance. Clutching onto my shirt, I refused myself from shedding more tears.I walked up to her open coffin and saw her dressed in a white gown, even in death, she was beautiful. I wasn't there for her, I could've been stronger. She fought for me and I couldn't do anything to save her.I had to watch her die just as I watched my brother die...."Heyley, please I don't want to die," Dominic said.He was so young, too innocent to have to face what was happening. "You won't die, don't talk like that. I'll save you I promise," I reassured him in tears."But you're obviously weak, it'll kill both of us," Dom argued but I shook my head in disapproval. "I'm a healer, it's my duty and u can't watch you suffer," I brushed my fingers against his cheek to wipe off his tears."You have always been so stubborn Hayley, even more than sister," he smiled
"And you're sure that you're okay?" Lance asked again and I groaned lowly."I promise you that I'm fine, don't worry," I reassured but it didn't change his mind. "If you need anything, just tell me over the link Hayley," he finalised, getting up to pick his shirt.I watched him drag it down his body and I wished for a moment he kept the shirt away."Where are you going?" I asked slowly. "Well, we can't just attack an enemy's kingdom without preparation and planning," he replied before heading out through the door. The nightmare I had hit me immediately when he departed and goosebumps grew on my skin. Even when everyone told me it was not my fault, I couldn't help but feel guilty. I was a healer, yet I could not protect them.Then something hit me, not physically but mentally. It definitely shouldn't have been an accident that I had such a dream. It could not be a coincidence that the dream was that vivid. Unless...Someone had a thing to do about it and the person that came to mind
Elena slept because she felt very weak from having running stomach for only so long. The pie was also meant to make her fart and burp and that made my mother disgusted and left her to be alone in her room. She was beginning to stir awake slowly and I suspected she must have recovered from what I had done to her. I was hovering around her. She flung her eyes open and shot me a glare. "That was just the first payback for all the times you have pranked me," I said."You call this a payback?" Elena said, laughing. "This cheap prank you pulled with the assistance of your little minors." "Well my little minions and I got you that's all that matters," I said. "Whatever, where's mother?""She couldn't tolerate your continuous farting even after opening up the window for proper ventilation," I said, gesturing to the window whose curtain had been thrown widely open. "I hate you Hayley!" Elena said."The feeling is likewise, Elena," I said, moving towards the window. "Lance asked me to send
"Grey, oh no what the hell you guys!" I shouted after bumping into Sonia and Grey who were engrossed in sucking each other's faces."You have no right to complain, do you know how many times I've had to bump into you and Lance? It's more creepy than this, trust me." Grey rolled his eyes. He had given his mate some space but he never let her go by encircling his hand around her waist."What is it Hayley?" Sonia asked, obviously wanting me to get things over with and leave so they could continue their business. For God's sake they were out in public, right in front of their room door. There was no harm in taking it inside."Lance seeks your attention Grey and Sonia, It's already time for your check up," I explained.Grey turned to his mate and they both seemed to be linking with themselves so I had to awkwardly wait for their final answer."Don't be naughty Stone," Sonia slapped his chest with a girly giggle.My face turned into utmost disgust at her sentence and I felt my belly do a f
'Think about it, whoever this person is depends on whatever information we give to the pack to send to the vampire king, that was how he was able to know about the Luna ceremony and the celebration of your healing. The person knew exactly where I was with Beam and they came to attack us when we least expected,' I pointed out hoping he got an idea. He was thinking deeply into my theory and I was glad he allowed me to talk.So that we kept our conversations private, Lance and I talked strictly over the link.'So if we act like everything is normal and continue to give out normal and standard information while we prepare the real deal with the people we actually trust, the vampires won't know what is coming for them,' Lance helped me finish my logic and I smiled at how well he caught up.'Exactly,' I nodded with a grin. "Soon enough, desperate for more details, the person will reveal himself."'You're a genius, you know that?" Lance smiled at me.'Oh, I know,' I replied, flipping my hair
It's a cold but yet beautiful winter morning. The view out of my window presents a picturesque outlook of an evergreen mountain, heavy footprints could be seen on the snowflakes that have been falling over the last couple of days. The wailing of the siren coming from an ambulance reminded me that our pack was constantly attending to the needs of the weak and feeble. Every pack brought their sickened loved ones to us. It had only been three additional months since the witchpire killed one of us. My mother and sister still stayed here with us and Dorcas, having performed her duty to us, left. We had gone to war, and killed the vampires, all of them and now we lived joyfully. The Storm Growler's pack was a wonderful place to live in; the gentlemen were dressed in thick coats and I could see Lance and Grey talking animatedly. They both had snowflakes on their hair. Lance glanced at me and he smiled. Oh, I could feel the baby kicking in my stomach! Twins. The ladies were dressed in sweat
"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
