~Lily~ The training kicked off almost immediately as the space was now filled with lots of vibrant werewolves, ranging from 18 to their early 20’s. Many already found their mates and their mark was sitting pretty on the side of their neck. You definitely can’t blame me as this was all I could do. I got my next orders and I’m not allowed to leave but to sit and watch. I moved my eyes moving from one mark to the other, analysing to notice any difference in any of them. ‘Something is definitely up?’ Raya chipped in. ‘I thought we agreed on leaving this discussion till later?’ Of course something was up. He dragged me back from whom he perceived to be a danger? Of course I knew I wasn’t going to be on his radar if we were talking about people he was going to keep safe. But dragging me back only meant there’s a story there for us. And with the way his eyes twitched and turned to complete black, almost matching the colour of Nova’s hair. ‘I reall
~Jaden~ (a visit to my childhood) “I don’t think your mom should hurt anymore men to come act for you”. My childhood bully's voice rang freely in the room as all eyes zoned in on me with his little minions beside him. I kept quiet and still, refusing to say anything as I’ve heard mummy and aunty Rose speak about the bigger person before. I was bigger so there wasn't a need to respond to Bobby’s stupid remarks or claims. Besides, if I reacted the way I wanted, mama might not be happy. I don’t want her scaring herself, I didn’t want to look into her eyes the way I did at the hospital and read out those fears she tried to hide behind her eyes. Everything was drained from her, she resembled the same person I watched her everyday survive from. This fear in her eyes wasn't new, they matched those of the time when she cried herself everyday to sleep. Crying in her bathroom as her little crying voice could be heard audibly in every room. I wasn’t going to tell her that it
~Jaden~ I couldn’t take it anymore and found my way out of there as I went upstairs, leaving the duty of distributing them to different wings to Kade. Only the direct heirs and next in line to the other pack alpha were allowed to stay right here in the pack. I could feel the urgent need to direct and train these people so I wasn’t going to allow whatever it was with so called Nova to distract me. I need to start coming up with better and quicker plans as to how they are going to advance in their training. I know I was pissed and left in the middle of it all but Kade gave me reports on every one of them and according to what I planned to achieve,they were way behind and lacked skill. The only thing that could be seen and said positively about today’s training was their will, and that’s enough for me to build on. “Alpha?…” Kade’s voice was a little unsure as he heard him break up a little thinking it through. “Haven’t gotten my title yet”. Like a thousand ti
~Lily~ My alarm woke me up and I’m up even before the first light struck through the window. Yesterday was a lot of fun even when I thought it was weird to have a full table and now a full house. It only got a lot better when the only boring personality left the table, leaving us to dwell in a lot, having a free taste of everything as all their eyes went ahead to watch me when I tried his special dish. I beat his voice. I especially woke up on time so I wouldn’t have to hear him wake me up from my sleep. Not really my thing to hear his voice first. I stood in front of the mirror, happy I wasn’t subjected to hearing that audacious voice that always tried to get under my skin, likely ruining my whole day. I got ready in a few minutes, finding my way downstairs. shouldn't be much of a punishment if I find it a little fun. “Erm mm” I cleared my throat through the mindlink, trying to get his attention as I stood in front of an empty space. I did it aga
~Lily~ Whatever happened earlier is long forgotten as I watched them train among themselves. Their hands beating through the wind, with some eventually kissing their fist in some people’s faces. I was enjoying the show when I sensed someone walking up beside me. “Hi I’m Molly and you are Lily” she said herself without waiting for my response as her voice came out chirpy and full of smiles. She sounded agile and was definitely not from our pack as I tried to hide my stare at her. With my mind rolling on possibilities why she was here, standing and talking to me, I remained my still. “Hey” I muttered lazily as she was now completely in front of me, blocking my view and there was no way I could see those training clearly except I stood up. “I just have some questions, can I ask them?” She sounded like she was going to ask anyway, so I let her have her way, holding back my tongue in place. I nodded my head for her, as I still tried to get a glimpse of w
~Lily ~ The day was a lot shorter and faster since all I had to look out for during the day was just the training sessions which was a lot interesting today. I got home like yesterday and the dining table was packed with different varieties of food and the only person seated was Nova. After his questions about my age, he didn’t say anything more even when I tried to ask why he asked. “Got here earlier to save you a seat” his voice rang out through the whole house, the same time Jaden and Kade walked in. It was like a pause went through my body as their eyes met each other, looking like they were exchanging words no one should hear. With Kade’s little smile only directed at me, which was freaking saying a lot like ‘Tread carefully Lily’. Well it didn’t feel heavy again like it was feeling right now when I removed my gaze from then and looked back and gave a reply to the sitted Nova. “Thanks a lot.” I pretty would have a lot to say if Jaden just wasn’t p
~Jaden~ “Urmm I think you need to know about this” his voice penetrated, disturbing my little nap. “What’s it this time? It better be worth my time.” I let the annoyance roll down my back, adding volume to my pissed off state. “It’s Lily.” His voice was not tense, just a bit low. Definitely not worth my time With the Image of her ignoring my presence and turning to look at Bobby flashing through my face, the same thing she did when I warned her with my eyes not to turn back. “Definitely not worth my time, Kade. Why do you think I should be bothered about her?” I let my pissed off state resound clearly like drums rolling before moving to end the mindlink. “I just thought you might want to know that she’s outside with Nova right now.” His voice breaks off in a hurry, rushing every word before I cut it off. It took me a second to rethink what he just said. With how that tiny piece of information kept me warring whithin myself as my wolf went on full alert.
~Lily~ I still got up early, ready to be a part of the training. I don’t know what got to me but I know I made the right choice by choosing to train. And besides Nova is not running away, I’ll have my chance to ask him some other time. I wasn’t sure I even wanted to know when I finally stood at the point of finding out the truth. I simply jumped on the offer, using Jaden as an excuse for myself as I bade Nova good night. I avoid the faces looking directly at me, doing nothing much to hide it. While some didn’t care and went about their normal business, stretching out for the day. It was new and standing among them made me feel a lot better. ‘We finally get to train Raya!’ I could feel the excitement run through my veins. “Hey Lily! Was even meaning to ask you today why you didn’t join in yesterday training session.” Her voice came up from my side as her face came into view. How did I not take notice of her height yesterday? She was taller than most she wolve
~Alpha Asher~ “They are prepared and ready?” This was a one time thing and we could not let anything go wrong about it. “Yes alpha, I just heard back from Kade and they should be here on their way tomorrow. “Nothing should go wrong about this plan or we’ll never be able to find out who the real culprit is.” The worry etched on my face wa becoming a normal due to stress, deprivation and lord more. This was a serious issue on ground and even as it looked actually like nothing, it was slowly eating his way to the heart of werewolves race. It was a great threat and easy means to curb it was never going to be an option right now. “You still think someone among us is the culprit?” Ross asked, real worried as he still found a bit hard to believe. “Even as hard as it may seem to believe, it’s the outright truth and I know it so well.” I gave him my quick reply as we decided not to talk about it anywhere here as apparently in a war ground, the walls
~Lily~ The image of last night's ordeal came flashing mad somehow I could feel my cheeks heat up with pink hues. I woke up and was just staring at him. It took a while to get out of his arms that he wrapped all around me and then without thinking it through I turned to face him. I was flooded with different kinds of emotions that I couldn’t put a name on it. The only thing that made sense right now was to stay right there and stare straight at his face. He was officially my first in everything that he’s done in days. I wasn’t too knowledgeable in these things but I wasn’t at ignorant to know that he made me c*m several times last night that I lost count. And with every strength that I had gone, I fell into his arms as I continued moving with so much vigour like he couldn’t get enough. I could still feel his breath on my neck, when his hands finally made contacts with my br**sts. The pinching, the squeezing and oh my, my head was already spinning a
~Lily~ It was becoming a simple reality as I stood in his room with my back facing the door. I tried real quick to catch my breath as the images were looking very vivid. It was dark in here and yes I did notice that the paintings were nowhere in his room when I was here earlier. That was the very least of my problems as I was head on facing the bed, rethinking what I just did. “Good thing, I like the light out too.” I could hear him utter very clearly in his light hearted tone. His voice resounded like a calm river, with its currently but more like it was currently at sleep for a while. Wait? Please tell me I didn’t just tell him I sleep with the light on. ‘Oh yes you did. And you said it so boldly like you were ready for anything tonight.” Raya spoke out not so calmly as I could see that I wasn’t the only fidgeting right now. I wanted anyone to tell me just know that I didn’t indirectly tell him I was cool with whatever would happen tonight. “D
~Lily~ “Did you have a nice sleep or are you still busy with my mom?” His voice swept in like he’d been waiting for ages. I didn’t reply immediately as his voice was the first thing I heard after sleeping for only god knows how long. And the mention of how he personalised his mom strangely sounded not so annoying like it always used to be. “Should go on helping her again soon enough.” My reply came like it wasn’t an issue talking to him in my head. Like I never used to have issues with him hanging in there in my head without permission. “Ohh really? You mind telling me all about this help that only you can offer, or can Kade come lend a helping hand?” He sounded so aware of everything being a complete facade. And with the sound of things, he just wanted to flow along. I took a second to really wrap my head around it as the fact that it was me having a conversation with Jaden through the mindlink and there have been no shouting and disagreement. “
~Lily~ I didn’t let the reminder that it's soon going to be my birthday get to me for long in my head as it drove different signals to me. I was supposed to be up and ready to leave according to what i had planned with Raya. Nothing was eventually stopping me and this was entirely what I was looking forward to but suddenly the urge to run away was slowly fading away. Like I could literally feel it and I’ll be deceiving myself if I said that was exactly what I wanted right now. Hate? Yes I still hate him and I also still wanted to find out why I could feel his sincerity through those words he uttered to me. You can pretend and fake sincerity but you can never fake it so badly that the other person listening doesn’t feel it to know if you are lying or not. “Oh my, thank goodness you are fine.” Her voice brought me completely out of it as I stared into complete emptiness. I must have stayed still for so long, thinking and drowning myself that I didn’t real
~Lily~ “Are you okay baby?” My mom didn’t waste time and went all out with examining my body and her eyes showing too much concern right now like she just saved me from the lion's den. “I’m fine mom, why are you so worked up?” I found myself asking after removing the hand I placed aimlessly on my forehead, that depicted my lack of understanding what was going on. I wanted to go on and ask all the questions in my head but I held back and swallowed all the words at the tip of my tongue, knowing I should be grateful right now that I got out. “Definitely not what I heard so I have to double check.” She didn’t agree with me and still continued. She changed tactics this time around, making it seem all funny and held back my laughter, trying to link one and two together. “Molly got to you?” I asked the question without even thinking twice about it. I already even concluded that it got to be that or nothing else. And while her actions were funny to me, holding back was gettin
~Kade~ “I just need to speak to him for a minute, it’s very important.” She kept on begging and pleading with her eyes as she didn’t dare go all touchy with me. “He’s busy. If it’s so important you can relate it to me and then I’ll surely let him know.” I faced with all seriousness so she could back off. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me anything before knowing that she was outright lying to my face and making up excuses just to meet Jaden. I guess keen eyes can be awarded to me after walking in the shadow of Jaden and watching his back. I knew everyone that had potentials of being a pest and had to keep details and tabs on them just in case. “I can’t tell it to you, I need to pass this on myself.” She said still speaking so softly that it was irritating to listen to her speak. I’m not sure it was her voice that was making me lose my patience. It had to be the very fact that I still remembered clearly what she had done to my future Luna. Yes
~Lily~ This was all looking extremely far from all the tricks we went round with or used to go round with. Now it was looking so scary and trying to put up a face or pretend my way through this wasn’t what I wanted to do. It was meant to be the end point as I opened my mouth and spilled all that I should, securing myself from whatever he had planned. He went calm, his eyes lowered, staring and holding mine in place. It wasn’t too surprising anymore since it had become a norm for days now. The words he spoke next also kept me quiet as I listened with utmost interest since it all revolved around me. He explained himself, saying things I thought I’ll never hear him ever say. ‘The almighty Jaden was apologising to us?’ I asked Raya as we found it so unbelievable but that thing in the depth of us could witness with him that he was being sincere. You could sense and see it with the way his eyes moved and looked so soft and gentle even they gazed directly at
~Jaden~ “Do you need anything?” I asked her, watching closely as I managed to make her sit on my bed with my different sets of portraits pushed to one side of the room. I didn’t really think about what to do aside from sticking my hands all over her body and places where she’ll definitely not be in support of. “Anything that’ll keep me alive would be fine.” She uttered with so much anger in her voice that I held back the urge to laugh at how cute she looked even when she tried to frown. I pretty much was blind and too carried away by pain and past events that I let it cloud my emotions and even my person. It was going to be hard to actually prove anything to her but I’ll try my best to make it quicker as I want her always with me. “Got that. Anything else you’ll need or you want to try to be a more specific lollipop?” I tried my luck one more time with her. “Yeah, how about your head on a platter and you stop calling me that.” She snapped with her head bringing out
