ReignHaving to live under the same roof with Hermoine inconvenienced me a lot. Given that Hermoine was the indrane of Silver Crescent pack, I could not help but think she was pregnant every time I saw her and suspect that was why she returned. I did not plan for my life to follow the same trajectory since I had been given another chance at life. Hermoine looked very helpless and pitiful so when Axel and Dante had told me she was going to be staying in the manor I had no objection especially because Uncle Astor was the one who had allowed it.If there was anything I knew was that Uncle Astor had my best interest at hand or so I chose to believe. My time in that dungeon had me reflecting on a lot of things and practically everyone too.My abductor had been very clear on my weakness of trusting too easily so I had decided to consciously withhold my trust for everyone till it was earned. The Alphas constantly probed me for how I got abducted but I said nothing, they asked who but I repli
Reign Some people in your life are there to make you smile. I realized how much joy spending time with Alexia and Tyler brought me. If you watched historical British movies then you definitely heard of the hand of the queen. Alexia had literally become my hand. Alexia was always by my side and surprisingly Tyler was never far off either. Some people you meet will show you good loving, I had met those people and I was not willing to let them go, they were in my life to make me smile. They took away my pain and always made me smile. I barely remembered I had lost my powers while saving their lives.They made me so many promises and when the times came they never failed. For me these people were called mates. Each passing day my heart had grown full of love for them and I often smiled at myself just thinking about them."You are smiling to yourself again Luna." Huh?Nailah caught me in the act again. Nailah and I had become very close. If Alexia was my hand then Nailah was the finger o
Zephyr "We can put up with her for a while. Just a little while but while she is around we have to make the boundaries clear." Dante insisted, he spoke well as his point buttressed Reign's safety and security but I had a nudge it was not just about Reign. There was more to his disapproval of Hermoine staying in the Manor. I could sense it.Maybe it was because Uncle Astor approved it or his usual trust issues kicking it. Either ways it did not bother me because I did not care if Hermoine stayed or left as long as she stayed off my path and did not offend my mate."That should not be a problem, you worry too much." I told Dante."So where is the location and when are we leaving?" Axel asked."We could go tomorrow, why delay?""Why delay, yet you just said tomorrow. Whatever happened to tonight?" I replied Dante's question with same. He simply ignored me and heaved a sigh. "He probably is yet to clear the work on his desk. Leave him be Zephyr." Axel scolded and I lifted my hands up i
DANTEAfter leaving Axel's office I headed for mine. I needed to tidy up a number of things before it was time for our meeting with Reign. I had branched Tyler's office to pick up some files for the winery Zephyr had just started in a neighbouring pack. I had to go through the staff listing and their profiles for verification before approving the HR personnel."Hi Alpha," a feminine voice acknowledged my presence while I unlocked my door. "Oh Hi, Hermione." I opened my door and let myself in."Am I not welcome?" She asked when I almost shut the door behind me.I paused then did a 360 spin on my heel to face her "I don't recall having an appointment with you. Remind me please." I was not exactly happy with her appearance in the manor after everything that happened.She frowned and pouted, when I said nothing she dropped her gaze to her hands and turned away slowly. Oh what a drama queen Hermione was.I was not exactly as strict or tough as Zephyr or Axel to just shun her and shut the
HERMIONEMy mate definitely had bright solutions to proffer and it lightened up my mood, surprisingly he had agreed without a feat to my suggestion and I was already carrying out my mission.Zephyr was first, we had a relationship back in France so I was pretty sure he would not resist me. I found my way to his office, knocked twice and let myself in only to be disappointed when I was greeted by his absence.I tried to look around but nothing peeked my interest at all so I lounged on his chair and crossed both my legs over his table. My skirt was short enough to allow my thigh proper visibility for that task.Zephyr had always been head over heels for me so I knew this was going to be an easy catch then I would use him to get to the rest.I was fiddling with my phone when I heard the rattling of keys at the door. I adjusted my shirt and popped my boobs up even more and adjusted my stance in the seat."What are you doing here?" Zephyr asked, I ignored his question and did not make an at
Hermione Now you are wondering how I ended up having my lips locked unto Dante's just in time for someone to push open his door and find us.When he asked me to stand from his desk,I was quite obedient because I got down from the desk but I walked to him instead, that was already a clear indication that he was going to refuse me so I needed to act fast."Dante…" I called his name but it was more of a whisper. I needed him to come around and drop his guards a bit, even if it was just going to be for a second.I knew Dante quite well, he was never one to intentionally hurt anyone."If you want us to talk about something then you should sit over there and I'll get you something to drink." He breathed heavily and that was definitely him coming around. The atmosphere was getting tense, his well air conditioned office was not cool enough to dry the sweat that beaded his forehead. When he turned his eyes away from mine to get a drink I sent my mate a message 'Im ready for you in 10second
Dante"Get out!" I barked at him when he remained at the entrance of my office with a sly smile on his face."Oh brother, easy. I'm sorry I disrupted your quiet time." He raised his hands in mock surrender and dared make a joke about what had just happened "Hermione is beautiful I must confess so you can trust that your little secret is safe with me and no----""I said get the fuck out before there's no you to keep any secret for me." I growled, my eyes on full black as creep already prepared an attack furious at the deception we suffered at the hands of Hermoine.I was in my office running my hand through my hair, cussing, pacing the floor and hitting my table. I had let my guard down too low around that Hermione after knowing what she had attempted in the past. I was restless and my mind was running wild at what those two could do with the information they had at their disposal.If any of them said a word, I was not going to deny a thing because I would never lie. I was not scared o
Tyler"Oh fuck!," I exclaimed as I clumsily dropped the glass I was holding. My mind had been quite preoccupied with a lot of things and some where just beyond my handling because they involved other people.It hurt to be in the same space or building with your mate yet you could not be together. I had to bear the pain of walking places she walked and being distracted by her scent.If I was going to concentrate on my work, then I had to do something about her being my mate. We were worlds apart even if we were once in similar status quo."Let me help you clean that up Gamma. Are you hurt?" One of the maids offered and I walked away without giving her a response. I had to walk away to stop myself from pinning her to the wall and crashing my lips on hers to claim her as mine.I had spent several nights in the bar but no shewolf appealed to me anymore, I had spent more hours with liquor too but nothing could drown her smell in my nose, in my head and in my senses. She was all the healing
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
