0ne month later.It's been a whole month. I have been here all alone with my son in this thick forest. Loneliness has become my greatest companion even with me baby. I still needed to see and talk to people. I miss that alot. I have literally become a bush wanderer running away from Alpha leo. He would show no mercy on me.Looking at the beautiful plantations I took a fresh breeze. The plantation is all in shades of greens and browns. It looked so beautiful.Few minutes later, I heard a scent. I took a walk around to trace the source of the scent because it definitely is not Mateo's. I began to hear sounds of footsteps slapping swiftly. I paused for a while to be sure of the sounds. Before I could figure out my thoughts I began to hear sounds of heartbeat and now I was very certain that someone was approaching us.Looking slightly behind my shoulders is a big wolf but not as big as the ones that attack me a few days back. I can fight him, since he is alone. I watched it as it took a
We approached the house and the guards forced me out of the car like a slave that had just been brought to her master. I had my baby tightly tucked in my chest. "Hold on, be careful with the baby." He said to one of the bodyguards who brought us.Everyone was standing with crossed arms wondering what their Alpha wants to do with a rogue whore and her baby, because as far as they know, every lady with a baby without her mate is a rogue whore.He instantly snarled at them ordering everyone to go inside and go back to their duty post.He was glaring at my baby with so much love and excitement in his eyes but didn't want anyone knowing he is the father. He didn't want them finding out that he is the one that got me pregnant."Take this slut and her baby to the guest room upstairs, please get the little baby some new clothes and ask the mother questions on what the Son needs." He enjoined his maids.One of the guards, who was the same guy that shoved me to my room the very first day that I
"Please go away! I shrieked at her.She made her way out and I slammed the door. I pushed my baby to one corner of the bed while I lay beside him to get energy to shower.Just when I thought I could have some momentary rest a knock came at the door again. I wobbly stood up, rubbing my tired eyes and I said: "who please?""Open the door is Diana." I sighed."You are putting your life and that of your child at risk, I met the New nanny along the hallway and she said you had rejected her service, you are trading on the lions lane, I hope you are ready!" She said, making a pitiful face."You are just an ordinary rogue whom I think Alpha Leo must have picked up to help and you are here displaying all this." She said angrily.I narrowed down my eyes while making a cheesy grin. I became more upset but I had to manage to control my anger over that."These are packs of formula for your baby. Alpha Leo has instructed you to go through them in case you don't like them so I can make another order
As he continued to approach me, my entire body began to tremble. I wouldn't say for sure what exactly that was for. It could be anxiety, it could also be my wolf calling out for her mate.His face became stoic and stony. His unfriendly blue gaze snapped me as he kept looking at my face.He grabbed my waist pushing me closer to him and sniffed my nose. His body at some point too began to shake but I noticed he kept fighting his emotions and remained blank..The more I want to push him off from my body the more my body desires his touch."Seat down."He said to me with a gentle yet authoritative voice. He gestured to the seat directly opposite him and I carefully sat down. I took a deep breath, breaking my fingers to ward off the fears that tried to set in."You have to eat, " he said to me, smiling.I became more and more worried about his Mr nice behavior and I wondered what he could be hiding. He opened the first plate and took one piece of the meat and ate."Eat young lady." He comm
"Everyone has rejected me. My mate also just told me in my face that he would never have anything to do with me." I thought to myself while tears continued to decorate my face. "I am giving you 24 hours to let me know your decisions regarding my proposal.One more thing, you are not to mention this to anyone, it is a secret and shall be till you die. Never step foot in this territory again." He added. I raised my face up and shook my head. I stood up and muttered the courage to look him in the face and i said, "I Elina would never let you have my baby, I don't need your money, I don't need you either as a mate, in fact now more than ever I regret that you are my mate and I reject you too!" I let out a cry and fell to the ground. I growled. "You don't have a better option, the only available option is to behead you but before doing that I would take your son away from you, have you thrown in prison then I will have you suffer while you watch another woman take care of your son before
The Moon goddess has deserted me. My life makes no sense anymore. I am just a weak mother who couldn't do anything watching her son being taken away from her. Few minutes later a knock came to the door."Alpha Leo has asked me to move you to your room, you have to pick up every valuable item and follow me.” He said to meI grabbed my belongings and did not want to talk to him, since I was clearly instructed by Alpha Leo not to talk carelessly to his workers.As we walked through the hallway, I snapped my eyes around to see if I could see my son or even hear him cry. Unfortunately I didn't see him nor did I hear his cry."Where could he be? Looks like they have taken him to another place." I thought under my breath."Miss, this is the room where you would be staying henceforth." The guard said to me.He opened the door, and pushed me inside. The place is nothing good when compared to where I was coming from, the foam in here is smaller, the room doesn't have enough space like the othe
Elina's POV.I have been here for 4 hours now and no one has shown concern nor looked at my face. I am starving, the last time I ate food was with Alpha Leo earlier today. I haven't heard my baby cry. I hope he is doing alright."I need to break off from this place. I need to fight to get my son, Alpha Leo can't continue to treat me like this. I may have to tell my father." I thought to myself."You don't have to tell your father, you are strong. You can do it, just think well." A strange voice echoed in my ear.I looked around but I didn't see anyone. This is not the first time. I hear strange voices especially in times like this. What could it mean?" I questioned myself.Suddenly, I noticed that the corridor light was lit again. I walked close to the door and peeped through the tiny hole but was unable to see anyone. I tried to walk back to my bed then I heard voices."Sir she is in there?" "You may go now Diana " I heard those conversations and tried to figure out those voices, th
Author's POVValen continued to check tirelessly in all the secret rooms he knew but still couldn't find the particular room where Elina's son could be. And just when he was about to give up, he heard the cry of a baby. He listened carefully to know which of the rooms the cry had come from. When he confirmed the room,he instantly left to come back later when Alpha Leo leaves for his meeting.Valen went to his balcony, there was a fancy sofa there and he sat down on it waiting patiently for Alpha Leo to leave the house. He wouldn't stop to look at every car that leaves the pack house.Few minutes later, he discovered that he had left and rushed to the secret room to check up on Elina's son.Meanwhile, The nanny had just bathed the boy and was able to make him sleep after hours of crying. The baby misses his mother and wouldn't stop crying.Valen knocked at the door."Who is that? She asked."I am Alpha Leo's beta, Valen. Please open the door." He said to her.She became so terrified as
"Is she aware already?" One of the elders whispered in Alpha Lorenzo's ear. Unfortunately, I heard him. "What is he talking about? Am I aware of what?" I was perplexed.. "Please accept our apology. If you can forgive me and your father, then you can forgive all of us." My father pleaded. Mateo looked at me. And gave me a sign to accept their apologies. "I have forgiven you all." They started to come closer to me one after the other, hugging and shaking hands with me. A few minutes later,after the drinks and food were shared, Alpha Lorenzo stood up and came a little closer to where I was seated. "My daughter, you are blessed, and we are lucky to have you in our midst. We all thought you were dead. We have searched for you for more than 6 months now, and we couldn't find you. All thanks to the moon goddess for bringing you back to us." He smiled before looking at the elders. Everyone was waving at him; they all made faces that suggested a go ahead. I became more curious to learn th
"I am scared, Mateo. Do you think they will listen to me? Do you think my father will welcome me?""You have to calm down, my love. The moon goddess knows what she is doing. If you are the chosen one to save the wolf community, then no harm will come to you. The moon goddess will protect you and help you fulfill your destiny.""I am not sure I am ready for that. I am not sure I want to do that for the people who banished me. I am here because I want to seek answers to the mark on our palms. I am not sure I am willing to help them.""Also, now we are very close to my house. No one can find out your true identity. They might hurt you if they find out that you are the monster's son. "Please, on no account, should you disclose it to anyone." I warned him."Why is there no one on the street? Why is there so much silence? This is quite strange.""You worry too much, Elina! "Let us get to the pack house first." He exclaimed.We approached my compound. I peeked through the gate, and I couldn'
"We have to visit your community; we have to leave this place!" He exclaimed, nodding his head."Why did you change your mind? You have never supported me each time I mentioned anything like visiting my community. You have never failed to remind me how wicked they are and how Alpha Leo would kill me. Please tell me why you changed your mind." I asked curiously."My love, just a few minutes ago we saw the golden sign again on our hands. We need an explanation for that. We have to be brave and go to your father. He may have an explanation.""Not just the symbol on our palm, my love, I had a dream again. This time it was very clear, and I don't know how to say this to you."What is it? Please, you know there is nothing you can't tell me, right? I am very curious. "Please tell me." He pleaded while holding my hands.I took a deep breath before removing my hands from his. I folded my hands around my chest and turned my back on him. My heart began to beat fast, and my feet suddenly became c
"You are still here! Why are you stalking me?" Was I not clear when I told you to stay away from me?" I yelled at him while I looked away."I have been at the river.""What! "Don't tell me you spent the night at the river.""Yes, I spent the night at the river. I can't live on your side. Allow me to protect you from my mother. Give me this one more time to prove to you that I am nothing close to my mother.""Stop calling her your mother; use the right word: monster." "Your mother is a deadly monster." I snarled."You are correct. She is not and will never be my mother. In fact, I am not going back to that house. I will stay here with you until we figure out where else to go. Please don't turn your back on me. Believe me when I say I didn't know she was the monster.""Have you gone crazy? You and I know the implications. Your mother would never rest until you returned to her, and she would kill anyone that stood in her way. Please, you have to go back to her.""There is no way I am goi
"My Alphas, the worst has happened. Abomination! Abomination!" One of the guards shouted."What is the problem? What abomination are you talking about? One of the elders questioned him curiously."Where is Alpha Leo? We have been here for over two hours this morning, and he is still around. He is basically the only one yet to be present." Alpha Lorenzo snarled."Let the young man speak!" He requested."My Alpha, Alpha Leo, was found lifeless in his chambers, and as we speak, all the guards and domestic staff have all run away.""What do you mean he is lying lifeless?" I spoke with him two days ago. "What happened to him?"Everyone seated at the town hall began to murmur. Some were looking happy, as if they actually wanted something bad to fall on him. Some people who sat at the back all came forward to clearly hear what the guard had to say about Alpha Leo."Everyone shouldn't be. Please go back and let's hear what he has to say. There is no need to crowd him. "If we can keep quiet, n
"You have to stay away from me. Just so you know, I don't believe anything you say. You are the monster's son that the entire wolf kingdom has tirelessly searched for over the years. You are the son of the monster that took my only son away from me. How could I have not noticed that my boyfriend is the son of the beast that has killed and is still killing the werewolves?""Stay away from me, and don't come any closer to me!" I snarled, grabbing a long stick in my hand to hit him in case he tried to touch me."I am innocent; I am just as surprised as you are. I don't know how else to convince you that I have no idea who my mother was. How would I want to hurt you? You have known me for two years now. You saw how interested I was in helping you locate this beast that hurt your son. I never knew she was the masked monster the entire Wolf Kingdom is looking for." He knelt down and let out a loud cry."You have to leave now. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. I can't mar
"Where could she have gone to? I have searched thoroughly everywhere in the compound, but there is no trace of her, not even her scent." I pondered while sitting on the couch outside. "Now this is another opportunity for me to sneak out to go visit Elina. I am sure Mom is safe, and she probably must be at the clinic." A thought pushed through my mind as I had a fluttery, empty feeling in my stomach. I stood up and smiled. I feel a twinge of excitement roll over my belly. The thought of Elina completes me, and I am not leaving her, not even because of my mother or anyone else. I swiftly ran to my room and slipped on my shirt. I didn’t bother wearing perfume, as that would be wasting my time. ———————- "What is that sound? Is strange. Over the two years I have been in this forest, I haven’t heard such noise before. Could it be that the forest animals have finally decided to hunt me? No one would believe that not even an ant has bitten me ever since I lived here." I pondered while my e
Mateo's POV."What could be the meaning of what happened to us a few days ago? What could be the meaning of that symbol? I don't know much about tradition. I don't even believe in the moon goddess or the stories people tell about her. Yes, it is true she is the owner of my fate, but I don't just like to talk about her in the manner others do. I may have to tell my mother. She would be in the best position to explain what that could mean. Yes, I have to go!" I shook my head sideways and left my room for my mother's."What is the problem? You have been acting strangely and very calmly since yesterday. Is there anything bothering you?" She asked me with her face all laced in curiosity."Yes, something is bothering me." I responded in a wavering voice. I was still very scared of what the outcome of this would bring."Go ahead, son! Talk to your mom. What is bothering my son? "Come over here!" She dragged me to her bed, went to the fridge, and grabbed two bottles of chilled water. She was
Alpha Valeria's POV"It has been three months now; the entire community has been searching for my daughter, yet no one seems to know about her. The warriors of our land have made the forest their home. They are instructed to stay around the forest in case they see her. Does it mean that my daughter is dead?" Tears rolled down my cheeks."You have been here all day. One of the maids just told me that you didn't eat your lunch. What is troubling you, my Alpha?" She questioned me while patting my back.I harrumphed before I looked up."It's about Elina, our daughter. Do you think she might be dead? What if the monster has devoured my daughter? I will never forgive myself for letting stupid traditions blind me. I am left with this guilt that won't stop haunting me. I have to do something. I have to let our elders have second thoughts about this tradition.""I remember countless times how I begged you in the past not to banish your own daughter. What did you tell me? You said you had to re
