ELARA"You know that was not the initial plan, right? I don't like it, now that we are close to achieving success, you and Alpha Raymond want to change the whole plan." Alpha Gunther said and I was surprised at the choice of tone and words that he had used to talk to Alpha Dale. He sounded very dissatisfied and upset about the whole thing. "What exactly was the plan and why were they trying to change it right now?" I asked myself as I stayed silently in the dark corridor. There was not a single sound Andi tried as much not to make any sound while I stood there. "I know. I know. But this is not on me. I spoke to Alpha Raymond yesterday and what I was able to gather from him is that he is trying to use his power of influence to change the whole plan. This dynasty that we want to form is supposed to be beneficial to all of us. I mean, look at how good you have been in the job you were given. Hiding all the tracks of our deeds and you didn't even mention it outside for once. You deserve
ELARA"Why the hell are you laughing? What is so funny in what I just said. Are you trying to get on my nerves more than you already are. I am so upset right now." Alpha Dale expressed his dissatisfaction in what alpha Gunther had just done but he seemed unfazed about it as he continued with his laughter. "This goes a long way to prove how important he is to whatever plan that they have." I thought as I exhaled heavily but silently so as not to draw attention to myself. Alpha Gunther ended his laughter with a sip of coffee as I heard the slurp sound that he made when he drank from his cup."I don't want to ask you to listen to yourself because that would sound really rude and I don't want to be rude. But you are making it hard for me. Of all the problems that we have presently, is that what scares you the most? Are you being serious right now?" He paused for a moment but alpha Dale said nothing in return. The silence was there for a moment and then alpha Gunther cleared his throat sli
ALLAN*******"Dad! What are you doing here at this time and why are you holding that knife?" I asked as I watched my father walk through the dark side of the backyard. I stayed there for a moment watching him with the knife in his hand while it dripped in blood. There was a moment of silence. The look on his face was quite surprising rather than angry. "Why are you here? What are you doing here? How did you get here?" He asked in a low tone and I heaved a sigh as I moved closer to him. I tried to reach for the knife in his hands and before I knew what was going on, the whole ground was littered with the motionless bodies of people I could not recognize."Did you kill all these people?" I asked him and he could not even utter a single word. He only looked at the ground to see what was going on and he gasped. He let go of the knife immediately and brought his hands to examine them. His hands were covered in blood as he looked at it warily. For a moment, I didn't know what more to say
ALLAN"Will you just shut your mouth? You think I was joking when I said I was not going to allow your father to put us all into any form of jeopardy?" He asked me and I shook my head immediately. I tried to think of what to say to calm him down but apparently, he looked like someone that has already made up his mind. I waited to see what he was going to do and all of a sudden, he started to laugh devilishly. I looked around to see if there was another place to run to but I could not. He walked slowly towards me, his hands drenched in blood as it dripped down the ground."I knew your father was going to be a dick. He was going to screw up. He was still going to try and leave you behind at the expense of all of us." He said in a low tone and I shook my head. As if it got him angry, he quickly cleared his throat, forcing me to keep mute to what he wanted to say. As my life kept flashing before my very eyes, I could not help but plead with him that he should be calm and hear me out."You
ALLAN"I don't appreciate that at all. You have no reason whatsoever to talk to me in such a way. I do not accept that at all. If we are going to make this work, then you have to be cool-headed and bring yourself to act normal...." She didn't let me finish what I was saying before I was interrupted by her sharp voice, forcing me to keep mute to listen to what she wanted to say."You think this is how it works? You get to talk to me as you want. You think you are doing me a favor by agreeing to marry me. I am the prize. You should be the one fighting to claim me and not the other way around. You know, I sat down and asked myself if this is how I want all this to continue. I don't want to end up in the same pack with someone that I have to fight to get his attention. Someone who would never see how much effort I put in to make the whole thing work. Someone who would always think that he is doing me a favor by being with me. That is a life that I don't want for myself. It is better to go
ELARAMy heart raced faster as I stood there, and many thoughts ran through my mind. "With all that I have heard now, was there still a need to wait behind and check for my file again?" I asked myself as I slowly stroked my chin and I exhaled heavily but quietly as I didn't want to draw any attention to myself. There was a moment of silence in the room as I could only hear both of them breathing. It was as if both of them had said all they needed to say and they both needed to leave but didn't seem to know how to go about it. Many thoughts crept into my mind as I stood. What I had heard was enough for me to stay by myself for days to evaluate. I don't know what it might be that was going on between the four alphas but I was sure that it was something very big. It had to do with them killing someone in the process. "How could they even think of killing someone for their selfish interest? I asked myself as I stood there. I was suddenly jolted from my reverie as I heard one of them gr
ALLANShe tilted her head slightly as she looked at me in the eyes. She looked like she had a lot of things to tell me but she was trying so hard to keep herself from talking. I didn't know what else to do to make her talk so I just kept mute and waited for her to think about what she wanted to say. She took time before she looked away from me. I was starting to get pissed by her actions towards how I was talking. I wished I could just tear her open and get the information that she was working so hard to keep from me."Do you really want me to answer that question? Are you sure that you are not going to be disappointed by anything that I tell you?" She said in a low tone slowly as if she were trying to count her words as she spoke them. I only watched her keenly as she talked. "Could she be serious about what she was asking?" I could not stop myself from asking myself a series of questions while she kept shaking her head. For some reason that I did not know, I wanted to hear more of w
KING GREGOR "Can someone explain what is going on here for me? What the hell is going on here?" I asked in rage as I tilted my head to look at the witch as she sat in her own corner of the dark room. The atmosphere was tense and so it was with my heart as it raced like it was about to explode. I could feel the rush of several hormones all around my body and all I just wanted at that moment were answers to the questions that I asked. "What is all this?" I asked myself as I tilted my head away from Lydia but not for long as I brought it back to look at her as she cleared her throat."I don't know how best to explain all you have told me. The weird dreams about some alphas that were different and also the true nature of your wife. But what I know for sure is that your wife is going through a phase and right now, you have to be there for her to pass this phase." She explained slowly and all I could do was nod my head. I could not believe that after narrating a story full of ambiguity and
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
