ReignI was sure the man standing in front of me was Zephyr, no I was not because he sounded different. "Do you not know me?" I asked hoping for a better response the second time."No I don't except the fact that you saved my life so I'm returning the favour." He spoke. He had a certain repulsive Aura about him but it pulled me closer to him."You are not Zephyr are you?" I asked when I was convinced the man I conversed with was really nothing like Zephyr asides his uncanny resemblance and his style of carrying his hair.He also had an aloofness in his stare as he threatened to penetrate my soul with his gaze."I am not Zephyr and you are intruding in my privacy," he was also not very gentlemanly in his speech or choice of words."I am Reign actually. I am sorry for intruding," I stared at the very clean sheets for a while."I was looking for where to stay and I found your door unlocked." I continued."Thank You for saving me." He just kept on staring at me without saying anything and
SethI blinked severally unable to speak as I contemplated the depths of her words and the possibility of her sacrifice.I observed her carefully but she looked very serious and the absence of a scent on her convince me beyond all reasonable doubts.I stood to my feet and fetched myself a glass of clean cold water from the fridge dispenser.I opened the fridge and poured out a glass of juice for her."Thank You," she said before sipping so elegantly from the glass.A time of comfortable silence passed between us and my mind ran wild on several thoughts."I don't know what to say right now." I started out looking for a good enough ground to express my gratitude to her but damn! I was really bad at being a proper gentleman."You don't have to say anything." She shrugged."You risked your life to save mine and you say I don't have to say anything to you about it?" I could not understand this female. I barely could remember what she said her name was."Yeah, it has nothing to do with you.
This stronger was a little bit close to perfect for my predicament but he was unpredictable.One minute he was cold and far and the next minute he was warm and welcoming. I explained my past with Chester to him intentionally leaving details about the triplets for two reasons.One was that he had an uncanny resemblance with them and could be their dapple ganger existing at this part of the world while the second reason was that the triplets were very powerful and their fame had already spread far and wide.The tendencies that he would have heard of the triplets were far higher and the tendency that he would take me back to them out of fear was also on the high side."You belong with me now," he said when he pulled away.For a second I wanted to regret letting him kiss me but it felt right, it felt right fir reasons i could not explain. Maybe it was my own way of getting back at my mates for what they did or maybe it was not.I nodded in response agreeing to belong to him because I had
SethWhen I left the cottage, I went straight to the trade area. I intentionally activated the internal lock before shutting the door because I could but risk anyone finding her, for some some reason I felt possessive about her and was not willing to come to terms that she belonged to any other person.Selene and her crappy choices mates her to some ungrateful monster but as I believe and practice, finders keepers.As I sourced for an organic dye that was not going to damage her hair while hiding it's original color for a while I thought of something.The doctor had said there were chances that she was unwell. So I decided to get her some fruits and vegetables to help her with blood, she looked quite pale and I suspected it was from the healing process."How strong is the colour and how long does it last before it starts fading?" I inquired from a petite frame of a female that sold organic hair dyes."Why do you want to buy a dye?" A man asked standing beside me. I ignored him and ma
ReignI stood transfixed at the entrance staring at Seth while Eliel putred mate same time as his wolf and I laughed at how funny the joke was.Was Selene really doing this?Mating me, ruining my happiness then mating me with someone else again.I was so confused and shocked that I could not move my legs. He leaned in close and breathed in my scent before sweeping me off my feet and carrying me inside, he shut the door close with his foot, his eyes never leaving mine."It turns out Selene is not as awful as I always imagined her to be," he spoke in a hoarse voice as he grazed his lips on mine and closed his eyes relinquishing the feel of the sparks caused by the mate bond.Every part of my body vibrated by his every action and my body came alive at his touch.I stared into his eyes and I could read a thousand emotions in them including lust, desire, passion and affection. I could feel his emotions and he felt very pure and genuine so I gave myself to him willingly.After all he was m
Seth The discovery soothed my wolf to know that the one person I wanted to be mine was fated accordingly. I commended Selene for one right decision since my existence."It turns out Selene is not as awful as I always imagined her to be," I told her as joy filled me.Grazing my fangs through her sweet spot I observed she was marked.'she is ours and ours alone,' Rider purred in my head angrily.I drew back,She lied to me. She said she was rejected then how did she bear marks of others.I sat on the edge of the bed willing myself to be calm as I breathed in and out.My immediate choice was to shut her out but Rider was not having it as a good idea, he wanted us to talk to her, to hear her out so I engaged her in a conversation willing her to tell me the truth."Who are they?" I asked,The Leavenworth Alpha triplets." Her reply caught my attention and I faced her squarely."Axle, Dante and Zephyr are your mates?" Hearing this everything made sense to me and I could only be less bothere
ReignI blinked severally, I tried to understand the words he spoke.'I'm the fourth,' those words kept ringing in my brain unbelievably.I looked at him and expected him to say it was a joke he was pulling on me but in the few days I had known and lived with him, I had learned that he was not a jester or a fan of jokes."You look serious," I commented "I can't remember the last time I was not," his response had me searching through his face for the slightest glimpse of a joke but there was none.I finally could place the pieces of the puzzle together.The uncanny resemblance, the similar Aura, the identical wolf and of course Eliel purring mate to him.If he was the fourth brother then most definitely he was bound to be mated to me as well."Was that the reason for your behavior lady night?" I asked."Yes, when I heard you say they were your mates, I knew I had less to worry about, I am unwilling to share you with anybody but them."I was tired of the goose chase and cycle of leav
Zephyr I had to return to the manor, good thing that Alpha wolf intervened, in the actual sense I was not exactly happy because he had sustained a cut from Chester's silver blade before we parted ways.I could only ask the goddess to protect him and make our paths cross again so I could reward him and express my gratitude.The more I thought about him, the more familiar his wolf looked yet his scent was unfamiliar, his wolf was exact as ours and that was quite strange yet the thought of a certain person immediately crossed my mind."Where have you been? Everyone missed you at the meeting," Ava approached me and confirmed me."I didn't attend." I replied coldly not intending to speak with her longer."You told me you were going to be present," she gasped and suddenly covered her mouth with her hand when she noticed the cut on my wrist."What happened to you?" She motioned to have a clearer view but I withdrew my hand. "I'm absolutely fine." I lied.The wound bore deep almost to my bon
ReignIn all the stories told in Silver Crescent, the name Zephyr never went extinct.He had survived, he had lived through the pain and troubles and he had lived on the the tablets of our hearts."Zephyr! Stop running around," I scolded my little son.It had been three beautiful years and he really did substitute for my lost mate."Good thing you still have four mates to share your attention. How would you have managed with five?" Dante asked leaning on the door post.The bright sunlight illuminated his features."Hi," I said admiring him."When I look at him, he does grow up answering his name." Dante said and his voice caught Zephyr's attention."Dada!" He called out to Dante and ran towards him."Big boy!" Dante easily lifted Zephyr off the ground. "How's your day going?" He ruffled his hair."No! Hair! No!" Zephyr struggled in his grip and I laughed at the interaction between the two."Stop taunting my son," Axle joined us on Zephyr's room.I had initially thought naming him Zeph
"You will lose even more than you know it, the longer you stay here, the more time evades you. You mating pair is stronger than nations and will attract the wrath of more. Follow the voice within you for you are the light in the path you seek a bulb."This time their meaning was clear and I wasn't going to go down so easily without a fight.Then all of a sudden something else took over me and I stood up. I looked Chester straight in the eyes and said the words that came to my head."Oh goddess accept the soul I bring to you, my heart is sore and my spirit weak but this rogue has defiled your laws. Die!!!" I shouted and like an expired glass he exploded and shattered into several pieces.I felt weak as I rushed to Zephyr who was still bleeding out profusely.We already had company as everyone had found their way to my room at the sound."He can't die, let me save him." I pleaded with my mates who won't listen to me."Reign you've done enough, don't risk the future of the pack for my sa
ReignI knew something was wrong, I knew danger was close and if I didn't come out, I felt as though the person was going to bring down the entire building with fire to get to me because of the strict security so I decided to meet whoever myself.I had not intended to drag Zephyr along but he had insisted on coming out with me now I feared the danger he may be exposed to at Chester's hands."Chester let go of me!" I tried to protest and rescue myself from his grip but his hands were firm.He and Zephyr bore holes in each other shooting deadly glares.'come quickly, Chester is he---' I didn't finish my sentence when a blow hit me hard forcing me to move back several meters and land on my butt.This was why Axle and Dante had not recovered. The ritual was not over because no soul Sacrifice was offered."You will have no one's child but mine." Chester roared and I struggled to get on my feet."Reign!" Zephyr ran to my side from where he had equally been dealt a blow of his own from the m
Reign"Definitely we are not alone, there's a little man in there as well," Zephyr joked but I knew what I was sensing was different."What is it?" Seth asked studying me for a while."It's, it's gone. I just felt it for a moment but now it's gone" I waved it off as quickly as it had come and we walked back talking and laughing yet I kept looking back anticipating someone.I often related with Axle and Dante but I was the only one who could curb Axle, we had met the elders and they insisted that one of the rituals had been incomplete for such an anomaly to occur.The day we were going to announce I was having a baby came and my delivery date was just a few days away. In the meantime I worked with Hermoine as Beta and she was surprisingly not as dumb as I had envisaged.Nirson also worked hard and became more productive assisting Hermoine with most of the responsibilities.Everything was going smoothly save for Axle and Dante's growing conditions. It was like every day that past, the d
Reign Power left me but I didn't feel as weak as usual.Kudos to Seth, everyone knew I was pregnant, everyone sat beside me on the bed with Alexia and Nailah being the most dramatic."You need to lie down so Dr. Alberto can check you next, we don't want to ruin things for our little Alpha," Alexia teased."Or little Reign," I shot back."I think I'll take sides with Alexia this once. I really want you to have a boy" Nailah stabbed me straight in the heart taking sides with Alexia in my very before."Really Nailah," I feigned a heart break holding my chest and everyone was laughing including Hermione.She was awake and recuperating."The entire pack sure does want an Alpha, you can't exactly blame Nailah you know." Zephyr said proudly and the atmosphere was light.Everyone was happy, the bad energies had been dispelled but Axle's soul remained corrupt.Something no one could explain.The elders had told them that after the ritual of the joining gates and the soul offering, everything
ZephyrI stayed up all night, unease clawing at my chest as the clocked ticked my body drenched in cold sweat, I walked back and forth every now and then. I had to protect my mate, had to get to my brothers. Since she vanished into the flower I sensed something was off with my brothers, the connection with them had intensified then dulled and I was worried. As the tension continued to increase,a rumbling ache usurped the depth of my tummy. My heart continued beating, spreading malaise though my veins, I didn't know whether I wanted to sit down or remain standing! In this unyielding fit of distress, I tried to imagine how he would be faring on they would be faring on their own, but my muddled mind could only conjure up gruesome images, mortifying me the more.After a couple more minutes of frantic waiting, I walked to the stone hill in the forest. My sensed picked a distinct scent and I couldn't resist the hunch to follow it. As I moved deeper into the dense thicket, the smell intens
ReignJust as we got dressed to continue our search, I felt something call out to me. I looked around and Zephyr noticed my discomfort and commented."You seem to be looking for something,""Didn't we come out here to look for something in the first place?" I asked in a very cocky manner and he laughed realizing how stupid his question was."Right," he said and followed behind me as I followed the call on my soul and essence. I was so much more at ease so I could very easily pick the scent and follow my instincts to what I sought after. "There it is," I said when we got to the top of the hill we climbed.It was a yellow flower, beautiful, elegant and unique. The last time I had found it, it was purple but this color seemed to fit it very perfectly. The shape was different as well but I knew that was it."Really? That is what stressed us all along?" Zephyr saidIt looked like an ordinary flower so it had to call your attention before you could find it. Sometimes it was an actual plant
ReignWe had explored most of the forest but I was still yet to grasp a sight of the flower. I knew how the plant looked because I often used it back in Chester's pack to save the soldiers and wounded ones.There was a limit to the amount of energy I could push into a person to restore them without losing my own life so I had sought out other means to save more people."We've been going about forever, what exactly are you looking for?" Zephyr asked me, he was definitely not the type to go flower picking with a lady or treasure hunting so the unending search already greatly wearied him."Relax, it's a life plant so it doesn't have a definite form, shape or color" I said to him."You have got to be kidding me," he covered his face with both his hands and threw his head back. I watched his Adam's apple bob up and down like a simple pendulum as he spoke in that position unaware of the things he was doing to me."So how are we supposed to find it?" He asked before taking his hands off his
ReignIt was all a very dramatic and chaotic scene and what hurt me the most was that what I suspected and anticipated the most yet denied, turned out to be my very reality.I had trusted the enemy the most all along, I had taken all my secrets and findings to him Everytime.I had always let him in on my plans time and time again. Uncle Astor was the only one I had said goodbye to when I ran away. He had tried to convince me and claimed he was going to come get me back to the pack before I shut my link then.Little wonder Chester was already waiting for me out there. I regretted a lot of things, especially not listening to Dante every time he warned me against Uncle Astor."Come with me," Zephyr grabbed me wrist on the heated hospital ward and we headed for the door while Uncle Astor displayed.I shook my head, not refusing but I was weak, I could feel the energy sap right out of me. I did not even have the strength to speak.Before I could give a response, Zephyr scooped me off the f
