SONIA"Is anything wrong with you? You seemed to be hurrying somewhere. What exactly is going on?" He asked me and for a moment, I tried to think of what to say. I tried to contemplate whether to tell them or not and then it dawned on me to tell them. I cleared my their slightly and gave each of them a pale look before I started to talk."I talked to Eli in a harsh way. I want to go in search of her to explain to her. I need her to understand that I don't mean to talk to her like that at all. It was all out of proportion. She didn't deserve to be spoken to like that." I said in a low tone as I lowered my head, trying not to talk about anything anymore. My mother chuckled, forcing me to immediately look at her in the face. She looked like she wanted to say something and then I nodded my head slightly to give her the opportunity to go ahead."I had that already taken care of. I met her on her way to the back side of the pack and then I called her to my room to talk to her. I asked her w
ALLAN"Dinner is served! You can come to the table to eat, young alpha." The maid who walked up to us bowed her head as she talked slowly, not raising her head until I cleared my throat. As the time for my departure grew closer, I could not help but take a deep breath to keep my racing heart at peace. Many thoughts rushed through my mind as I stood there and then Elara cleared her throat slightly to alert me about the fact that she had still not raised her head. I quickly turned to the maid and tapped her lightly on the shoulder, forcing her to raise her head slightly. "I will join the alphas in a short moment. I need her to do something for me." I quickly said in a low tone, tilting my head slowly to look at Elara as she stood there with her hands crossed in front of her. I heaved a sigh as I looked away from her. The maid bowed once again and walked away from me. I watched her walk away until she was out of sight. Elara quickly walked close to me like she was about to kiss me, forc
ALLANThe journey back to the pack was swift. Perhaps because I was lost in thoughts about everything that happened in the pack. I could not get my mind off everything that happened in the pack, especially the moment spent with Elara. I played every scenario in my head again and I could not help but smile sheepishly. Just then, I felt the car came to a halt and I was immediately jolted from my reverie. As I tilted my head to ascertain why the car halted, I was immediately met with the familiar edifice of alpha Raymond's pack house as it stood tall before my very eyes. I heaved a sigh and then the door of the car made a squeak as the guard opened it."Young alpha, we are home." He said and as I turned to look at the guard that talked, he had already made his way to the trunk to carry my stuff from the car. I stood there and as soon as I was ready to go inside, I heard a familiar voice and I didn't hesitate to turn to look at who it was and my gaze fell on someone familiar. For a moment
SONIAI sat there on the edge of my bed, thinking about the whole thing that had happened that day. I could not help but scoff as I tried to get everything off my mind. Suddenly, the door opened and Eli walked in. I buried my face in shame but not for long as I didn't want to make it too obvious that I was ashamed of myself. She walked rapidly towards me with a smile on her face like nothing had happened earlier. "What could make her this excited?" I asked myself as I tilted slightly on the edge of the bed to see her properly."You are not going to believe what I just uncovered. You are going to be left in awe." Curious to know what was going on in her mind, I gave her a puzzled face, trying to think of what to say and how to say it but nothing was coming to my head. I just shook my head, hoping that she was going to continue with what she was saying. After a while of looking at me, she inhaled deeply, fading her smile a little as she looked away slightly as if she were trying to thin
ELARAI walked back to the room, still trying to find a way to talk to Lia about how sorry I was to have talked to her in such a manner but everything was not going well in my head. My thoughts were disturbed by the constant remembrance of what went on between me and Allan just about a while ago. "Did he actually try to kiss me?" I kept asking myself. "What if alpha Gunther hadn't walked in on us in that position, would he still have kissed me?" I asked myself in a low tone as I could not bring myself to believe my thoughts at all."Elara get yourself back together!" I said to myself loudly as I walked back into the room. I winced inwardly the moment, I noticed that Lia was in the room. "She probably would have calmed down, perhaps this is the right time for me to talk to her." I contemplated inside my head and just then, I cleared my throat slightly to talk to her before I began to talk."I want to use this opportunity to express my heartfelt apology to you. You should really find a
ELARAI made my way to the kitchen immediately to see if the dinner was ready. I could not stop myself from thinking about what had happened between me and Lia. "Was that really the end of our friendship? I didn't think it was going to end like that." I said to myself as I completely lost all hopes of getting her back as a close friend. As I walked through the hallway that led to the front door, many thoughts rushed through my mind and suddenly, one thought struck my mind, forcing me to halt my step as I tried to think of it properly."I don't need her at all. Not even now that I have a mission at hand. She was only going to hinder it." I thought for a moment as I smiled sheepishly. I walked slowly until I was in the lair. I didn't have anything tangible to do there, so when I realized that I was standing there, I walked away from there. A thought struck my mind immediately. I walked straight to their room to inform them that dinner was almost ready and they could come to the dining
ELARA"I don't know but suddenly, I started to feel attracted to you. I tried to hold myself but each time I tried to hold myself, I felt a lot more overwhelmed about the whole thing and I came looking for you again. This is hard on me as well. I need you to understand." He explained rapidly as he gave me a pity face while I tried to make sense of what he was saying. "Relax... Why are you all emotional about it?" I asked in a low tone, not sure if he heard what I said but he didn't try to say anything again. He only kept looking at me in the eyes as if he wanted to try out what he attempted the last time. "Elara if you don't leave, you will end up being caught and the things you are trying to avoid will happen right before your very eyes," I said to myself and then cleared my throat immediately before I started to talk. "I don't seem to understand what is going on with you but you really should keep in mind that you are about to get married. That should be your focus. You can't have
SONIAA knock suddenly came on the door and I walked over to the door to see who it was. It's not like I didn't know who it was but I just wanted to be sure of who it was that was there. I heaved a sigh as I held on to the doorknob and tilted it slightly to open the door and there stood Allan with a deadpan look on his face. It was safe to say that he wasn't really happy to see me. "Why did he have such a look on his face?" I asked myself as I walked him inside the room and gestured that he sat on the edge of the bed. "Welcome home, young alpha." Eli greeted him and bowed her head slightly, looking me in the eyes as she slowly bent her head. "Was she trying to communicate with me through the eyes?" I asked myself as I stood there until Allan cleared his throat slightly to talk."Thank you." He said as he drew his face into a slightly puzzled shape. I didn't know what was going through his mind as he continued to look at her and then back at me for a moment before Eli stood up and wal
Elara's POV As I stood there in front of him, I couldn't bring down the pace of my heartbeat. He spoke like he knew what was going on. As if he knew that I knew what was going on with him and the head maid. I didn't know what else to do so I just kept mute and waited for him to talk but he also kept mute. I heaved a sigh as I didn't know what to do. My heart was beating fast and I couldn't do anything about it. I exhaled rapidly and just then, he stood up from the bed and walked towards the center of the room before he talked."You think you can just stay quiet while I talk? What a nerve you have developed. I don't know what it is but I have made up my mind to find out exactly who you are and if I found you wanting, I would not hesitate to kill you. You know some months ago, you suddenly went missing in the pack and then you came back, giving me a flimsy excuse. You didn't even think for once that I might punish you and out of the goodness of my heart, I accepted you back into the pa
Allan's POV My life in this pack had been so dry and full of traumatic experiences since the call off of the wedding. I tried to get on the good side of my parents but they both made me understand that the only time they would ever be happy with me was when I went back to marry Sonia. I had already made up my mind never to marry her, especially after knowing the reason behind them trying to arrange the whole marriage stuff. I tried to make excuses for them but I could not make any excuses for them at all. I wanted them to be themselves while I was myself. "You know what. I don't care if they accept me again or not. I don't care if they talk to me or not forever. They can choose to give birth to another son and fix a marriage for him or her but as for me, I cannot allow myself to be used as a bounty for some selfish goal. How can you call me your son and do all this to me? It's not done that way at all." I said to myself loudly like I was having a real conversation with myself. I hea
Sonia's POV "You know you are a cursed child right? You don't deserve me as your father. You are an illegitimate child. I don't know what it is that you are thinking but from today, I never want you to greet me or do anything that is going to concern me. Since you think that you are old enough to pull this off, you should be old enough to cater to all your needs as of today." His exact words when he found out that I was baking out of the marriage with Allan. He had since not talked to me. I didn't know how best to make him understand that I was not cut out for that kind of marriage. I didn't know what to do so I have since tried to take my mind off everything he said to me. I didn't even know why it all came to my mind this morning and I had to even sit outside my room, lost in thoughts.I suddenly felt a touch on my shoulder and I quickly looked to see who had the effrontery to touch me in such a manner. As I looked up to see who it was, my gaze fell on Eli as she stood there with a
ELARAIt was a sunny day and I could not help but wonder why all of a sudden I found myself in the past. "What really happened?" I asked myself. It was as if the witch gave us that concoction to take, it affected us and took us back in time. I saw myself in the warrior place again and then I had to go through it again. I didn't know how to go about it so I tried to forget it and focus on the pressing issues that were on the ground. I heaved a sigh as my thoughts wandered off to the fact that Levi and Sonia agreed to call off their wedding. "How did this even happen? They were supposed to get better wedded by tomorrow. What is going on with them? I never knew it would get to this point in their marriage." I said to myself. I sat there in the middle of the room as I thought about how the mating ceremony was going to be. "I just hope that I find someone who is going to love me for who I am. Not judge me for any reason and I also hope I get my wolf too." I said to myself as I sat there o
ELARA"I was thinking of that too. I have a lot of things to talk to you about. The past few weeks and perhaps months, have been tedious in terms of events. Many things unfolding and your acting strangely is enough to talk about. But I don't think you are in the right state to talk right now." He talked slowly like he was trying to carefully select his words, or perhaps he was trying to count his words as they left his mouth."I am okay. I need to talk to you about something very very important. It cannot wait. I think I have dragged this for too long and it is starting to affect me, you, and the entire castle." I said, trying to sit up on the bed and he aided me. He arranged the pillow to support my back and I smiled slightly."I think I have an idea about what you are about to talk about. See, I have been having these dreams. Very disturbing and alarming. There were many people there but you weren't there. Your brother, Allan is there and also the daughter of alpha Gunther is there
KING GREGOR "Your majesty. We found your wife." The head of the guards broke the news to me moments after I gave him an order to find her wherever she went. I sat there in the room, facing the window. I reflected on the past few days, weeks, and months. Many things have happened within the past few weeks. Things that I really can't explain and I don't have the explanation of. First, it was the sudden changes that Arianna started to show. She acted so differently and I just had to ignore all of it. Then followed, was her sudden claim of memory loss. I don't know but I seemed to believe her.As if all these weren't enough to mess with my mental health, the dreams started to come up. Unexplainable dreams that could raise my doubt in ten folds. It would have been better if the witch were able to translate the dreams but she was of little or no help at all. Above all, the most surprising thing was my sudden likeness for Arianna. I never liked her before. The only reason I was involved wit
ELARAI opened my eyes suddenly and the first thing I saw was this magnificent creature. It looked like someone that I had seen before. No! I cannot be here. This was not how I planned this to go. I kept trying to make myself believe that I was sleeping and then the voice came at me."Elara! I suppose you know where you are presently. What happened to you? Why were you stirred off what you wanted to go and do? You begged for a chance and you got the chance but what did you choose to do?" I felt a sting in my heart as I recalled the day that I was begging the moon goddess for a second chance. A chance to go and avenge my death and that of my unborn child. "I don't know where to start. Perhaps it was as easy as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be easy to carry out the whole plan I had in mind but it was tougher than I thought. There were a lot of constraints. The person whose body I woke up in had a life of her own and it just mixed up with the whole thing. At so
SONIA"No, you didn't do anything. As a matter of fact, we had just finished what we wanted to iron out. We were just about to step out of the room and come downstairs to join them for breakfast. How are you?" He ended his statement with an awkward question. His facial expression said it all. If only he could take back his words, he would not hesitate. "How had he always perceived Eli?" That was something that I had never asked him. I didn't want to sound awkward so I just kept mute and waited for her to talk. Many thoughts rushed through my mind and just when she wanted to talk, I could not afford her to tell him what happened the previous day, I cleared my throat slightly to talk and then their attention turned towards me."You know you don't have to be so formal right? We could go back to the way that we have been doing. The small plays and everything. Things might not be as you think they are. Right, Allan." I could not deny the fact that it felt extremely awkward saying all that
SONIAI knew for sure that it was Eli who was standing in front of the door. "What could she be looking for? Did the alpha send it to us? Many thoughts rushed through my mind as I looked at the doorknob and also the face of Allan as he also looked at the doorknob. I thought of ignoring the knock but not long after, the knock came on the door again and I had to heave a sigh. "Even if I needed this interruption, it was too quickly. She should have waited for us to finish all this before she came to knock on the door." I thought for a while.I walked towards the door slowly but hastened my steps as the knock came again and stayed frequent. I could not take my mind off what had happened earlier. I didn't know what to do or how to go about it. "Perhaps he might be feeling awkward and timid after the show or perhaps he enjoyed it as much as I did. Whichever way it is or however it is, I am not fazed by anything." I said to myself as I reached for the doorknob and quickly pulled it to see wh
