"Did you correctly send out the invites?" Ava asked Hermione.Different maids moved to and fro and the event hall was already being transformed for the big ceremony.Hermoine did not look very happy as she dragged herself about grumbling."I asked you a question." The least you could do is to at least give me an answer."What is wrong with you these days?" Ava scolded much to Hermoine's displeasure again."I sent them out but how can I be the one to tell of they were sent out correctly?" Hermione replied in a very sassy way that pissed Ava off greatly."And if you can't verify that , then who can and who should?" Ava questioned a frowning Hermoine."That's her place not mine," Hermoine pointed at Alexia who lazily lounged typing on her device.Alexia scoffed, "Crazy fellow." She resumed her activity without even looking up to Hermoine or Ava."Alexia, why don't you help her out with verifying the invites sent out. You're very good at that and did that with Reign a couple of times too.
Reign"We have to get back to Silver Crescent, the deception seems to even be bigger than we know it." I said to Seth who shut his eyes to hide his pain."I can take you there but I don't know if I'm ready to return to that place. I don't know how my brothers will react if they saw me again." Seth suddenly looked very lost, the way he looked when we newly met."Don't say things like that, I bet they'll be more than happy to see you again." I cupped his huge face in my hands and kissed his forehead head."They already await your return. The Alpha recognized you when you saved his life," the old woman said.I didn't understand what she said but then I remembered a part of the vision she had taken me through."Seth," I called out to him."That night you returned home injured, the first night you found me in your home." "Yes, what about it?" He asked."What happened?" I asked as well "I saw a wolf that looked like my mirror image so I joined a fight I knew nothing about and saved him."
ReignI looked at her frail form sprawled on the table before us and concentrated, I could understand her, I could hear her, feel her but gradually my vision blurred as her body grew cold and finally the connection was broken."Elara" I voiced out."What's that?" Seth asked but I had no time to start explaining things to him."I'll explain later but right now we have to leave this place immediately." I said in a hurry."Where's our bag?" I asked when I had checked within the room."Some little boy made away with it." "Oh no! That's the bag I saw. They have him, they have the boy," "Ok???" Seth was not understanding my communication at all."They have our scent, we need to leave now!" Seth was confused by all of my yelling.We began hearing steps, a lot of foot steps, I listened carefully, they were more than fifty.I had to focus to remember the exit I had seen before Elara left our realm.'We are of the same kind,' she had said but right now my heart was beating fast and confusion
ReignWhile we took different directions, I crawled much slowly to the sound of danger, the tunnel grew darker and higher so at a point, I didn't need to crawl on my knees and hands anymore, I got on my feet and ran.I was running when I saw a light. I changed directions and I picked up Seth's scent on the path, I increased my pace but didn't shift.I caught a glimpse of Seth already in the woods trying to find me. I was happy but I was scared."Seth!" I yelled, "I'm over here!" Just as I leaped out to land in the woods, a hand grabbed me from behind.Strong muscular arms and a familiar unwelcome scent."Hello mate!" Chester's voice boomed and I screamed for help but my voice was unheard since his other hand was firm over my mouth."We don't want someone else finding you the way I did, now do we?" He was whispering in my ears as we both watched Seth walk further into the woods."You have a very loud voice, and it favoured me today." I immediately understood his meaning.I had been car
ReignWe passed unfamiliar routes and entered into another camp, I was getting tired from everything so I staggered and my steps were much slower."I can carry you through Luna," one of them offered and I nodded weakly.He flung me over his shoulder to enable him bear the weight of my being for longe and I lost consciousness.A cold splash of water on my face jolted me back to consciousness, I lifted my hands to wipe the water off my face but my hands were immobile.I shook my head and a towel brushed across my face."Finally you're awake." Someone remarked. I could feel the cold and dark superior aura he emitted but Eliel and I were not even nearly intimidated by him.He stepped out of the darkness and I gasped. Hrigh!"How did I get here?" I asked looking around and I saw the same people who had saved me from Chester standing with their heads bowed."No way," I shook my head in realization. "Exactly, you followed them willingly didn't you?" Hrigh said amidst deep cold laughter ru
ReignI resigned to my fate and finished my food since I had no intentions of ending the life growing within me.The others excused me as well as I was left alone for a while, sulking and reminiscing on my plight, a familiar scent hit me. I was free but I didn't roam my prison cell, I just stayed in a corner and nursed myself."I can't see her," a familiar voice that I easily paired with the voice sounded through the silence of my cold prison cell."Scared as a cat, surprising yeah?" Hrigh replied as he flashed a blinding light in the cell, blocking my vision. I put my hand over my face and shielded my eyes from his flashlight.Hrigh's companion laughed, he was probably excited to see me locked up once again."Good one Alpha Hrigh but she barely has any use to either of us anymore." He said so casually and I gasped at his meaning."What do you mean?" Hrigh asked seeking clarity."She lost all of her powers already and is only fit for a slave of any kind, pleasure or cleaning. Your cho
ReignFor some reason, I stared at her unable to answer her question or say anything to her. I was honestly fed up with all of the drama recently and I just wanted everything to end already.I need no more energy to fight and deep down, I hoped she didn't want a fight either.Before I could put my thoughts together, Hermoine hit me in the face, she hit me again and hit me thrice before I fell to the ground unwilling to fight."What do you want from me?" I asked as I wiped my bleeding lip with the back of my hand."Nothing," she answered as she held her hand out to me. I was reluctant about accepting help from her after she had just hit me."Hurry up, we need to get out of here before they notice your absence." She said when I didn't take her hand."And why should I trust you?" I asked out of basic reasoning but her answer tallied with the one I sought so I accepted help from her."Lol, I'm just a familiar face to you, I'm not your family," she said before pulling me up to her and unlo
SethWhen I ran through the tunnel I saw a bright light at the end of it, I immediately hurried towards it.Suddenly, I stopped and paused.For a moment I tried to comprehend what was going on.'Should I go back for Reign or was there also an exit from the path she took?' I thought to myself then I remembered her instructions.She had said to not go through the same route.Elara or whatever the woman's name was called had asked us to go separate directions for safety as well so I changed my mind.I steadied myself and decided to do what I had been told, I had learned to trust Reign wholeheartedly without questioning.I got to the end of the tunnel and saw that I had to jump and I did.Just as I jumped I landed safely in the forest and immediately brought out the compass she had given to me.For a split second after I stood there for a while, I thought I had heard my name but when I looked around and so no one I diligently followed the compass hoping it led me to her.I had walked for
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
