~~~ Ember ~~~I watched in disbelief at the camera footage still playing in my hands. It was quite unbelievable that I was the one behaving so shamelessly but the video was there to prove it and all I could do was sigh "I will…kill that old man myself, if he's still alive when I meet him" I swore as I gritted my teeth with eyes filled with anger and hatred flickering in them. I got up and made my way to the door, which I opened and stepped out, to take in the surroundings of the place I am. With each floor I stepped on, where men and women gaited in what looked like a patrol uniform, walking from one side to another. "How will I escape from here" the question settled in my mind, as a sense of unease coursed through my veins, settling in my gut and sending shivers down my spine. "Where can I find Marcus pls?", I questioned a lady who was putting on an apron, probably on kitchen duty."You mean the Alpha?" the lady questioned, looking at me with eyes filled with a mixture of tend
~~~ Marcus~~~ The event surrounding Lilian's death was an eye opener to the little things which I and my right hand man, James, had overlooked and the potential risks involved. I wouldn't like any harm befalling my mate, due to my carelessness. The little question on," who threw her down? Who sent them ? and what was the motive behind their action?" Has still not been answered to this day but it all pointed towards one direction,"the Elder's". The elders of my clan have always been hell bent on me marrying one of their daughters as my chosen mate, which I had vehemently refused because I believe in the one the goddess has chosen. It was quite unbelievable that they had managed to infiltrate into my territory without my knowledge. I had just finished a discussion with James on how the place should be sanitized and the traitors found and uprooted when a sound disrupted the atmosphere. Grrrrrlll!! Grrrrrlll!!! My phone rang out disrupting the serenity of my surroundings
~~~ Marcus ~~~I watched as Lucas cowered under my glare, his stammered excuses only fueled the anger that was already building up inside me. My mate, gone." How could he let this happen under his watch?" I questioned myself. I could barely control the surge of a build up of anger and fury threatening to explode, but I knew I had to focus on resolving this issue and bringing her back to stay by my side. "Tell me what happened, now," I demanded again, my voice very low with a sharp glint flickering in my gaze.Lucas swallowed hard, his eyes darting to James as if pleading to be granted a means of escape. " She …. She went into the store and I stood outside to keep watch, just as beta James instructed me, Alpha. She was supposed to be out after a few minutes but when I checked she was gone. I searched everywhere but there was no sign of her". My chest was heaving as though it was being squeezed, panic gripping my heart. I felt my wolf , Alfie, grunting and pacing restlessly in my
~~~Alexander Knight~~~ Sounds of gunshots rang out in the atmosphere, filling the surroundings with noise. Alexander looked up in the sky, "what's happening", he muttered to himself as he searched for the position of the moon, in a bid to calculate his future and his family's fate. The moon was getting darker than blood, ominous feelings filled Alexander as he started running towards the hallway of the mansion. "Whenever you see the moon getting darker than blood, run, it means the werewolves are coming for you" I shouted as I remembered my father's warning. "Amanda! Amanda! We have to move now, get the children and meet me in the car" I literally screamed as I made my way through the backdoor of my study, in a bid to escape whatever was to come. I have to get my family to safety, watching Amanda struggling with my two little sons, I quickly rushed to take them from her. "Keep up dear, if we don't make it to the safe house, it will be very bad for us all" I whispered to
~~~Ember Knight~~~ Its morning already, the rays of the sun penetrated into the room and shined on Ember, who turned to face the other side, to continue with her beauty sleep, as she termed it.. "Good morningggg, it's time to wake upppp", Sophie sang into my ears. " Oh my Gosh! Sophie! you know I hate being woken up like this", I literally half screamed at her, and turned back to enjoy my sleep, hoping she would get the memo. "Not on my watch, Em, it's either you get your ass up or you want me to make you, I have a lot of ways to do that you know" said Sophie Of course she will never change, I quickly stood up from the bed, Sophie, is one crazy girl, who will stop at nothing to get me off the bed, it's her most special moments,lol. " Oh, you spoiled the fun Em, you could have just continued laying there, so I can do to you what I have in mind", she said as she smirked. "Crazy girl, I don't know why someone will be so hyper, this early in the morning", I said to Sophie wh
Memories of her childhood flashed through Ember’s mind as she navigated through the route leading to the secluded mansion. It had always been her sanctuary, a place where she had felt safe and loved. Now, it was nothing more than a desolate reminder of what she had lost. When Ember finally arrived, she hurriedly parked her car in-between some trees, to keep it away from sight, looking around to make sure, no one was secretly watching, she ran towards the direction of the mansion Her knees felt weak below her, as she saw, the state of her family house. The condition of it was beyond anything she could have imagined. The once-beautiful estate, with its pretty gardens and elegant architecture, was now reduced to an abandoned site, filled with ashes. Ember’s heart ached and her body whimpered, as she took in the scene, the reality of her loss hitting her like a physical blow. ~~~Ember~~~ "Ember" a voice called out, breaking me from my daze. I turned around to see Mr. Gra
I have being driving aimlessly for a while, with the thoughts of everything that has happened occupying my mind and making me unable to breath. I got out of the car looking like a semi- mental patient, not minding the glances of people around me as I started trekking. I walked until fatigue took over, looking at where my feet carried me. It was a market place, with different shops lined side by side. I clutched the safe house address in my palms and made my way to one of the shops with a friendly looking old man. Weird glances came from people in the other shops, I didn't mind how I was looking or the reason they were glancing at me. I just wanted to be pointed to a direction and regain a little strength. "Hello", I greeted the man, who smiled at me. "You must be tired, young girl, where are you coming from", he asked "From the other side of town", I answered with the little strength I could muster. "You must have walked a lot to get here, come and rest for a while",
~~~Marcus~~~ "I still can't believe they still think of me as a little child they can control and manipulate anytime. An Alpha like me and they still think that?" I fumed and vented to my right hand man, who just kept his head down, while listening to me. "I don't really blame them, I blame my weak father for placing them on that high pedestal, and that's why they were able to conspire against him and led him directly to his death", I continued as I combed through my hair with my fingers. "What a joke, I am not going back there, let my brother continue to lead them,he's doing a great job", I said as I scoffed at myself. "Any other appointments for the day" I asked my right hand man, beta James, as I placed the just concluded meeting with the elders behind. "No other official meeting, save for your appointment with Miss Lilian,Alpha", beta James replied. Talking about Lilian, my supposed girlfriend, that girl has really been very clingy and on my neck lately and am begin
