"Oh this is not the valley of dark souls. This is the path to it. The valley is just at the end of the road," his smirk grew wider.

“Oh, I bet that place is more creepy. I did some research and found out that it’s the place of the oldest and first century witches,” I said with eagerness.

“Is that what makes you believe it’s dark and old?” Lance asked with the most amused smile.

“It has to be, that place is the oldest standing kingdom in the entire land,” I explained further.

“Since when did you know all of this?” Lance Looked at me, shocked.

“I’m the smart one remember and we have a huge library back at the castle,” I boasted.

“That still does not answer my question, smart one,” he replied, raising his hands to finger quote the smart one.

“Remember when you stormed out of the library like a little girl the other day, I used the opportunity to do my research before looking for you,” I replied.

“Did you just call me a girl?” Lance narrowed his eyes, hearing nothing but a girl.

    "Zara," Lance breathed. He had a death expression. I had no idea what was going on."Missed me?" Zara smiled warmly at him.I kept mute, watching both of them like I was the stupid one. "How is this possible?" Lance asked, still breathless. "Why don't we all have a seat," she offered, pointing at a meeting table at the far end of the throne room. Silently, I followed Lance behind, obeying his rule of not saying a word till he asked me to. We three settled down, Zara taking the bigger chair that was probably built for her as the queen or something while I sat beside Lance who had his gaze fixed on her. I was not going to lie, my entire body was not comfortable with how he was staring at her. I would call it jealousy but my ego will not let me. "Zara you were–""Dead?" She cut in with a smirk. "Killed, murdered, betrayed out of foolishness of love?" Zara called out. Just after, a few older people walked in. All witches too, I could smell them perfectly well. "This is the cou

    "Well," Zara sighed out. "That was eventful."I didn't say a word. Lance needed to cool off and I was not sure if I was to follow him or just stay put and wait for him to come back when he was ready. "Leave him," she said to me. "Let him let out steam.""Why won't you just tell us and let us leave? That is all we ask for," I turned to meet her. "The fact that I have not killed you two is still surprising to me," she looked at me blankly. "I know he has been bad to you, but he has changed–""Spare me the chit chat, I'm not interested. If he has changed then that is his business to worry about not mine," she replied listlessly. "I get that he has hurt you before, trust me he has hurt me too. Probably way worse, the fact that you still hold it in you will devour you," I told her truthfully. "You forgive him so easily because you don't have a choice, you two are mated to each other," she responded. "What about me?" I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at her. "What have I ever done to yo

    The portal led us right to where we had parked the car. It was right where we left it. I pushed Lance to the passenger's seat and allowed him to rest, not waiting a single moment to go to the driver's seat and inserting the keys to the ignition. “Let me drive,” he mumbled and I grunted but did not reply to him. “Hayley–”“Enough Lance, you have done just enough,” I seethed. I turned the key and the car responded. There was no time to waste at all, so I drove off. Away from the coven or their territory. .....The sun was already setting, the moon was somewhere in the sky but the sun did not let it shine as bright. My anger had depleted and Lance was still fast asleep. His body needed to heal internally and that was why he had fallen into sleep. We were still on the road, I knew we could not make it back to our pack on time and Lance would not enjoy an all night journey. So I drove our way back to the hotel. We still had a night there to spend. We had not gotten there yet, it was

    “Wake up,” I shook his unconscious body consistently. “What is going on?” Lance muttered, shuffling around the bed before opening his eyes to look at me. His eyes glistened and it made my toes curl. I wanted to run my hands through his hair and ruffle it more than it was. He had the cutest bed hair and I could watch him all day long. “What?”He questioned, placing his hands on his face to block out the sun so he could look at me properly. “Nothing,” I murmured absentmindedly. “Come here,” he smirked, pulling me down. Not matching his strength, I fell flat on his chest and made a huff sound. “We can’t,” my voice was muffled out in his chest. I sharply breathed in his scent, enjoying the moment as it lasted. “We can’t do what?” Lance raised a brow, looking at me with sleepy eyes. “It is morning and we have to be on our way home,” I pouted but not even bothering to be off him. His body was like a magnet and I was drawn to it at all cost. “Aww, you miss the pack already. I thoug

    “I honestly can’t believe you slept throughout the entire drive, again,” I heard Lance say to me. Mumbling some incomprehensible words out to show him that I was already awake. “I got bored, you were so boring and you barely said anything,” I retorted, wiping my face as if I had poured water on it in the first place. “You told me not to sing, you told me not to play I spy, you told me not to listen to music, you also stopped me from eating,” he listed out. “You were chewing too loud,” I shot him a glare, stepping out of the car and walking over to the trunk to get out our luggage. Lance came around to assist me and I never objected, he was the only one supposed to do it in the first place but I was feeling generous so I did not really care who did it or who did not do it. I looked back at the pack house, I never thought I would miss it so dearly. As usual, teenagers and children were playing and chatting around the front yard of the compound and I could see some adults walking a

  • In Love With An Alpha   Slow Down

    “Lance,” I mumbled, waking up from the slumber I think I spent hours in. His scent still lingered in the room and I knew he recently just left. His silence made me sure that he was not around me. I had fallen asleep in his arms, that one of which I remember. But I had fallen so deep in my sleep that I didn't even notice that he had left. I looked at the time to see it was already past eleven. Almost midnight. Everyone was supposed to be asleep at that time, I wondered why Lance was out of the room. Getting out of bed, I walked over to the bathroom. I opened the door slowly, hoping he was not in the bathroom doing his business. He was my mate and I had seen him naked several times but it was still going to be very awkward if I just walked right into the bathroom without his consent. Fortunately for me, he was not in there and I did not have to walk into Lance either on the toilet seat or in the showers. That would have been more than awkward. I tried to link with him but it was l

    “It’s almost noon Hayley, you don’t have to over do it,” I heard Lance say to me as if I was up already. “Oh really,” I muttered, shuffling around the bed to get right up. It probably was way past my time to sleep in like that. My body felt like it needed sleep and it was good. I remembered sleeping off in his arms the other night in the living room. And I also remembered him carrying down to the room to sleep on the bed with him holding me. It was the perfect fantasy and I think I deserved every bit of happiness I was receiving. “What time is it?” I asked, rubbing my eyes to wipe off the sleep in them. Although useless, I still tried. “It’s past twelve Hayley, get up,” he rolled his eyes, dragging the sheets out of my body. Grumbling, I moved out of the bed. Walking over to the mirror to look at my bed hair. It was the most horrible sight, I pitied that Lance had to see me like that everyday of his entire life. “Will you get dressed, we have to continue our normal lives now. Y

It's just the curse symptoms for crying out loud. This is one of the reasons why I didn't want to tell anyone about it...I didn't want sympathy and them thinking in their heads that their Luna was weak.The first to reach my

    "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

  • In Love With An Alpha   You're Such A Disgrace

    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.

    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.
