ReignCrappy ass information I had to have access to. I was going to think about what Dante had said later on. Right now what really mattered to me more than my mate's impending possibility of betrayal was finding Alexia and ensuring she was fine. I left for my office and Nailah went her way to continue her day's activities. She had stopped doing menial tasks and gradually she was being exposed to ranked information. "Would you be fine?" Nailah had asked concerned about my well-being yet I had so easily told her off. "It's not a big deal to me really. I'll be absolutely fine." "I know but I can stay a while with you till we find the beta." Nailah pressed on but I declined even more and she let me be.I just really needed to be alone. Later I would discover that was a very silly decision because being alone had exposed my mind to idleness. I ran my fingers along my cold desks and imagined someone else behind my desk. It brought a bitter sound in the the form of laughter from my li
Reign. It was going to be pretty easy to just pack up my things and leave my entire life behind. 'who are you kidding bitch? Are you really going to ghost our mate?' where did she come from? I was excited to have my wolf back. She had gone silent after the full moon incident. 'Hi to you too,' I barely acknowledged her as I busied myself with clearing my desk and excellently concealing my excitement with my current predicament. I had already dismissed and given her back the test result. I had no intentions of confronting my mates because I could not bear to look them in the eyes after what I just discovered. It was best for me to leave quietly. I finished arranging the files for the next Luna and headed to my room to arrange a few things I planned to leave with. Eliel was ranting in my head about giving this a second thought but I did not spare her a minute. "Hi Luna," Nailah's voice startled me as I pushed aside the bag I stuffed. "Nailah! I didn't know when you came in." I
Reign.I stared at my worst Nightmare as he materialized before my eyes. I blinked several times and tried to make sense of what I was seeing."I am sorry for the way I treated you in the past." He repeated his apology and I was convinced that I was standing face to face with Chester.Like you already know, Chester was my mate and Ex husband from Black Thorne Pack.Yes, the very same Chester that had rejected me and sent me out of his Pack with nothing.The same Chester that had sent people after me to end my life which they did before Selene gave me another shot at living.I won't exactly say Selene did me a favor given that my fate had remained the same. Was she taking me back to my beginning?What kind of joke was this? I couldn't imagine that my life was looking like a fucking repetitive cycle. The loop was crazy."I have to go," I tried to get away from Chester at all costs but he held me back."Please don't go. I need you and I was very wrong to have let you go then." Chester pl
ReignOf course what was I expecting from Chester?He had always been sly and manipulative. He never really loved me."And Yes, I was really shocked to hear you managed to survive before so I'm not killing you again since you won't die." Chester's deep bass resonated through m ears punctuated with dark laughter but I maintained my composure as I followed the men around me and pushed the fear aside.Fear already got a better grip of me at the thought of returning to Black Thorne pack and more so as a prisoner.My life as Luna was not a tad bit admirable so I definitely did not expect my life as a slave and prisoner to be any better.I calculated my next move and complied with every instruction I was given."I see you lost all your wits all of a sudden and are complying like a little puppet that you were created to be." One of the men spited me and I knew who my first victim was going to be. I wanted more than anything to slice of his tongue since he did not know when to speak and who
Reign I thought my ears were not functioning properly when she said she was going to take me back to Silver Crescent Pack but her continuation made a whole lot more sense.Of course, it was all about the money again as usual. Had they really put a reward out for anyone that found me?I was gone less than twelve hours and they were already going rampage. What Chester had said earlier rang in my head and sadness clouded the joy that initially tried to surface.I was going to smile that they cared so much about me but Chester already explained to me why.It was going to make them vulnerable, if word got out that I had been extracted, it was going to attract attack because then their defense would look porous.Life in the werewolfdom was a though struggle of power tussle and domination over other Packs to maintain relevance and fear from others to be perceived as predator and not prey in order to live safely.Packs that were perceived as prey or weak were always attacked and eventually s
Reign This was not going to end well and I saw it already. Becky and I stood with our backs up against each other."You could have brought her to me and the reward would have been great. What where you trying to do? Be a hero?" Chester spoke and from my guess, he definitely spoke to Becky.He turned his back on us."She's not your property to start with and she should have a choice," Becky spoke with a deep voice very different from the sweet innocent melody she had been communicating with me with. I looked over my shoulder as we gently moved in a circular motion to be sure it was Becky that spoke and assuredly, she was the one that spoke."Who gave you the option to help her make a choice? The assignment was simple but you failed and you will face the consequences." One of the men spoke and Becky lashed out at him."You do not scare me Draco, not one bit." Becky challenged and someone launched an attack at us. I'm impulse not wanting to lose my weapon, I took cover behind her and
AlexiaI stared blankly into space sitting out in the garden sad and destabilized.The last thing I expected was to return and find that Reign has left.She check up on me for goodness sake! Was that when she was leaving?Or did she already leave before then?I had so many questions that made me blame myself more but as you already know I got no better answer than silence and cold empty stares from the leaves around.Maybe I should have never left, I was so selfish I had only thought about myself and my feelings that I acted on impulse without thinking now my Luna, friend and sister was gone.If the tears just fell down my cheeks maybe my heart would have felt lighter since there was a channel for me to express the ugly emotions I felt but No! the tears rather burned the insides of my throat and stung my glands painfully blurring my vision without falling."Don't think about it too much." I jumped at the sound of a masculine voice.I relaxed when I noticed it was Nirson. I had tried m
Jude stood in his tracks as he looked at the woman in shock, unable to believe her warm gestures, he looked behind him to see if there was someone else who was walking into the store or if he was the only one at the front of the entrance door.However, the woman shot him a warm smile, assuring him that he was the one she gestured to.He stepped into the store and the chill breeze coming from the well-positioned air condition welcomed him, drying off the sweat that had formed multiple beads on his forehead. The woman kept up her smile and asked him politely if he cared for any drink or just water.He was speechless at her question as that was the last thing he was expecting from her or anyone in that line due to his previous experience. Jude collected a bottle of water and gulped it as fast as he could. However, he could notice the managers and salespersons from the other store staring at them in amazement. They were mocking the woman for accepting him into her store, they thoug
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
