Ever since they got back from the honey moon, things had worsened between them. They had begun fighting again and she had a niggling feeling that he knew she was going out with someone else. She shrugged and knew that he did not really care either, she remembered how they fought on evening when she had asked for information needed to set up for the festival.“ You are my Luna, you are no longer the guardian. You have no right to such information.” he had said as he typed on his laptop. “Excuse me! I am a guardian by birth right. I still have the seal and I have every right to ensure that the festival goes well. I can never abandon Victor to all those duties.” she said as she paced and stared him down.“ I will never allow my mate to slave away under the guise of being a guardian. You are my mate, my Luna and nothing else. If your brother needs help, he can get an organizing committee.” Carl waved her off while she still stared at him with an incredulous look.“ You must be kidding me
Carl acknowledged his greeting and looked at his butler grimacing while Elise went to hold his hand and rubbed his thumb. He looked lifeless with a bandage wrapped around his chest and tubes and cords attached to every area in his body.“ where you able to get out all the mercury poisoning? I mean when was this mercury thing discovered.” Elise asked as she stood near the doctor. “ it was when we were trying to remove the bullets actually and we started noticing the black drops, but the good thing was that it was easily and quickly discovered, so he did not really need a transfusion.” the doctor explained as he pointed to the chest area.Elise and Carl heaved a sigh of relief and was led away by the doctor, she thanked the doctor and then called Sasha to keep an eye on him. Carl posted two body guards to watch the room. He really wanted to know why his butler was attacked and he knew where to get his answers.Elise called the driver as soon as she got out of the hospital, assuring him

Thank you!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The night seemed so holy without blemish as cool and smooth breeze creeped into the room, soothing my skin with every sense of humility. The dark sky was aglow with bright stars in their graceful positions, illuminating the earth, awake and sleepless. I was about to sleep but I realised I needed to bring in my clothings from the line outside. I quickly got out of my bed, went out, brought all in, and went back inside. Lying on my
Mr and Mrs Smith, my foster parents, and their awesome kids, Jayla and Mella, were such excellent people and a family to me which I never had; my stay with them was such a wonderful and pleasant one which I had always prayed and wished for since my parents left me at that very tender age I was, leaving me to my fate in life to God knows where. All alone. The thought of losing them has now become a very terrifying nightmare for me, and finding myself in this godforsaken place had become the worst of them all, abandoning me in shambles.The rustling of leaves and chirping of the night birds left me even more devastated. All hope was lost, no one to come to my aid, neither could I help myself. I wished I could. Life has become so cruel to me that I wished I could just put an end to it all right now.. I carefully looked around, searching for what I could help myself with but found none. The gulch was empty, totally dry of any aid."What a cruel world!" I cried out, reminiscing all my e
"A rogue..? No no no no noooo.. I-I-I'm not a r-rogue…" I quickly replied fumbling, as if I knew who or what a rogue was. "Please.. kindly forgive me, I'm so sorry…" I implored.My apologies kept spilling out from my mouth unending at the thought of that 'rogue', trying to explain myself. Suddenly, two other guys came out from nowhere, held me from behind and was just about rough handling me when a voice spoke, "Let her go!" I squirmed, trying to see who it was, but saw no one. They didn't let me. It didn't seem like that was going to be possible as their clasps on my arms were tightly fixed. "I said, release her… Right now! And I mean, now…!" Now the voice was close, I wheeled my head since that was the only part of me I could turn. It was that same girl.They quickly obeyed and pushed me against an erect but dead tree.I screeched. Not really because I was hurt, but because I felt I was going to die. I felt no pain of any sort.My upper lip tore open a bit by the side, with on
Few years down the line, now fully acclimatized with this new home environment of mine, I've now become a full grown teenager, almost leaving that stage for the life of adulthood.17years of age. The day was gradually going down and it became cold.. the type of coldness that reached into my bones, as if my heart was a door left wide open to the icy wind, slamming only to open again. The only thing to do was to keep being covered, as frost grew over the windows even as the duvet kept me warm a bit. I watched the ice-crystals grow and glow in the almost dark sky for a while, allowing my brain to be empty of any kind of worry, content to exist and be. "The morning would bring the beauty of the ice for sure, that crunch under boot and the bold greeting cold air brings." I encouraged myself as I watched the evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky.Gradually, all faded, and before I could process and understand
Right from my reverie, my eyes shot open! "W-what t-th-, um-mm why did you strike me that hard..? Don't you know it hurts..? What did I do…?" I bawled out! "Woo.. woo…That's indeed a great standpoint! But h-h-old on… girl… What were you thinking about, staring into oblivion, looking all lost and drained?" She shoved her hand into her mini bag, "here, just take a good look at yourself, you've automatically developed hollow eyes! See yourself..? Take, take a look!" She brought out a little mirror, and stretched it to me. "Well, I'm done buying the snacks. Here, take." She handed over to me, the fancy polythene wrapper in her other hand. My acceptance was quite poor, not knowing what exactly was inside the bag, neither was her face looking bright as she released it out. I opened it partly, and saw it was a crispy sweet Danish pastry with a filling of apple and raspberry. The aroma was supposed to be heavenly, yet I didn't notice. "I was only trying to inform you that it's almost t
I recalled I never asked Belletta what she meant by that word, 'rogue'. Though I had a little idea about it, but needed to know more. I had to ask. "You just called me a rogue. Sorry, please, who's a rogue, and why did you call me that?" Confusion drenched me this time. Funnily enough, he lulled. I wondered what he was thinking. Maybe that question was quite strange or funny to him as it's believed that all must know about that in the pack. "Okay, just come with me, let's get out of here first." He said, holding my hand, but I pulled it back. I was worried, terribly worried, and I had no idea what was going on and who he was; but all I needed at that time was help to find my way out of that forest. I followed immediately. He took me into his hut, there I met some others, one male and two females. They looked quite friendly, but I didn't really need to trust them right now. "This is our secret, little space; a place we cal-" he paused as he pointed at the others, and conti

Gerald looked at his boss as they checked each file of possible criminals that could have stolen the Luna stone. Carl had overhead the conversation between Selena and Elise and was shocked when he was told that it happened the day before.“ Why does it have to be kept as a secret from me? Why should Elise even be keeping secrets from me? Have I not been a good enough mate Gerry ?” Carl asked Gerald soberly. “ You know it actually takes time for a woman who was not initially in love with her husband to grow in love. That is what it is, just give her time.” Gerald replied and rubbed his arms.Meanwhile Melissa and Selena were talking as they walked to a secret location sent by Amanda to prevent suspicions and gossip. As they arrived at what looked like a fancy restaurant, they were surprised to see Elvis dining with Amanda.Amanda thanked him for the dinner and gave him a sound kiss, before rubbing his back and escorting him out of the restaurant. She commanded the both of them to sit d
Meanwhile Elise was watching Amanda on a screen from a recording that a secret camera insect like drone implanted on the walls of Amanda's palatial house, alongside Thomas as everything was going on and she warned both of them.Melissa and Selena pretended like they were not aware when they saw the black sedan of Amanda's guard trailing them through the tinted back window. The driver dropped them off at the gate and when they both entered, they hugged and went their separate ways.Selena went straight to the shower and washed off the monitoring spell that was made on her and continued her tasks. Elise was sitting in her own lounge turned office as she looked at the various case files before her. Bianca was able to pull off a detailed dossier on everyone except that Lucas Wainwright and she was at her wit’s end because of that.Anytime she thought about him, questions about who he was, his heritage and why he was so interested in her usually came up. She pondered about who the Shadow h
Elise was very angry and sent for Thomas, she needed answers and she needed it fast. She had dismissed the both of them in anger, telling them to pull out all the efforts and information they can muster about the stolen stone.The moon festival and feast was around the corner and without that stone, a whole lot of imbalance and disaster could happen. Why would such a thing happen. After she just laid down her happiness, freedom on the altar of mating. No one can mess with what was hers to protect.The documents with the lady was the dossier she had on Amanda and a folder that was marked confidential which Elise had never seen. It had information on all the secret dealings going inside the council. Some of which caught her fancy, even as she viewed them.It seemed like a bunch of photocopies but they seemed extremely useful and too detailed to be leaked, she was waiting for Thomas as she looked into more of the documents, she saw the seal of the council on many of the papers and realiz
“One more stop before we get going!” Carl announced as they left the restaurant, and entered into the car. A bouquet of what looked like a hundred roses laid on her seat and Elise squealed in delight, she had always dreamed of having roses given to her. In fact she usually bought herself a rose each birthday she had.She jumped into his arms and kissed him soundly, Carl carried her into the seat and asked her to close her eyes while he pulled out a black silk blindfold. Elise giggled and closed her eyes, she felt the soft material tickle her nose.The car zoomed off and soon they arrived at their location. Elise could sense that it was a lounge by the loud jazz music and the scent of different colognes that was easily differentiable. She followed his hands and as she entered into the place, he slipped the blindfold and she saw a beautiful banner with her picture and the inscription of a romantic poem and balloons and a group of jazz musicians playing.Elise felt really shy and nervous
“Bianca! Bianca! Pick this phone up now.” Elise almost yelled in frustration as she chewed on her sandwich filled with avocado, lettuce, chicken and tomato. Carl had gone out to attend to business, leaving her and the maid in charge,……….. in the huge house.Elise had taken a shower changed into a purple kimono and silk and fur sandals. Then the maid fixed her a plate of sandwiches and coconut milk infused with cinnamon. She decided to call Bianca and send the text to Bianca. But she had not picked up her phone.“Hello! Chica what is up baby girl? You have not been dropping juicy details on the group. In fact you have been hoarding sweet information from us.” Bianca accused her as she called.“Sorry! I have been to busy to even come on the group. Besides the last time I checked you were getting it from Vince, that hot shot at your work place. That aside! There is fire on the mountain! You have to help your girlfriend out.” Elise begged as she dropped the sandwich in her hand and sat up
The sun was out shining brightly and the beach area seemed a little crowded, a mother was seated under a purple umbrella. She and her daughter who looked like a year old had the same copper brown hair and gray eyes. They also wore matching flowery one piece bikinis. Elise looked at them lovingly and Carl hugged her. There was a group of teenagers playing with a ball that rolled over to their side. Carl picked the black and white ball and threw it back. They all yelled their thanks and continued their game. They walked down to a row of some old shops made from browned tin roof and palm leaves, there was a row of coconut trees behind them, that gave shade to the sellers.Carl pulled Elise into one of the shops, where an old man dressed in a blue shirt and jean shorts that matched his eyes, sold jewellery. They both looked at his little collection and Carl bought her a silver and ruby pendant with the inscription of the infinity sign.Elise thanked him, but her mind was not really with
She felt the mist rise up as she looked around still searching for Lucas and she walked on a bit before she stumbled. Carl looked for her in the mist and he felt very miserable as he did so. “Where on earth was Elise?” his wolf worsened the whole thing when it began making small pained whines. He knew if anything went wrong with Elise he would have himself to blame.He suddenly shifted to his wolf and howled loudly, because he felt that she was in danger or something evil was happening to her. It was like someone was struggling with her and he gave a second howl and he sighted her in the clearing mist. He fly like he bumped into someone even as he rushed to her, but he ignored the feeling, all that mattered was that Elise was safe.He shifted back to his human form and ran to hug her. He picked her up and carried her in is arms and sped back to the house. Elise felt the air fill with tension as she tried to wrap her mind around what had just happened, who was Lucas? Why on earth was h
