ALLAN "Good evening alpha Raymond." I greeted as I peeked into the room and met him standing by the window. He tilted his head slightly as he turned around to look at me for a moment, walking towards me before he cleared his throat. He didn't smile the usual smile at me and that got me worried, asking myself what was going on and why he was not being friendly at all.He didn't utter a single word to me as he walked towards me until he was at the center of the room. At this moment, my mind wandered too many possible places and anything that could have happened and it forced my heart to beat faster. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart but it was not helping at all so I cleared my throat slightly, forcing him to inhale deeply and then I started to talk without minding the fact that I was scared of what was going on."Alpha Raymond, you sent for me. I hope everything is okay. You don't look so good." I said, hoping that at this point, he was going to start talking but th
ELARA"What is it you are telling me? You are quitting the training? I don't understand what you are talking about at all." I nodded my head slightly as I looked away from him, trying to arrange the thoughts in my head before I talked but he didn't give me the time to do that as he grabbed me by the chin and tilted my head back to look at him."You are not talking. This better be a prank or else, I am quitting too. Because, what the fuck is going on?" He expressed his dissatisfaction and this time, I knew I could not keep him in any more suspense so I cleared my throat slightly."It's nothing actually. I just had a deep rethink about the whole issue and everything is just not adding up. I can't be here. Especially after everything that had happened to me. The best way to deal with this whole issue is just to quit and focus on finding myself first. I don't know how but I am sure that I will find a way." He didn't let me finish before he interrupted me and I was forced to keep mute to l
ARIANNA ******Many years ago******It was almost evening, and I hadn't noticed the presence of Levi anywhere in the pack since. "What was he doing?" I asked myself and as I stood up from the edge of the bed with the intention of walking to his room to check what he was doing.Thinking about all that he had said about being forced to be in a marriage all because we want to accomplish the wishes of our parents. The thoughts was becoming a burden to me and I just could not help but take a deep breath as I tried to come to terms with the fact that he was right. Ever since we arrived at the pack, I noticed that I didn't like him as much as I thought I did and that led to me using every opportunity I had to make him want to talk about it with my parents but he was just too scared to talk to them about it. "How do we go about this now? I don't want my father expecting a lot when in the real sense, I had started to lose any feelings I had for him. I wanted to let him know but I didn't want
SONIA"Leave that to me. I will do what I have in mind. There is no way that I would make it easy for him to quit. He will have to pay for all he had done. He made me feel less of myself and I will make sure he pays dearly for it." I explained slowly as I looked away from Eli for a moment before I continued what I was saying."You didn't think I was going to make it easier for him right?" I asked and she shook her head slightly before she cleared her throat to talk to me."I thought for a moment that you were just going to tell your father and mother that you were not more interested in the marriage and that you want to call it off." She said in a low tone and I shook my head slightly before I heaved a sigh to talk, patting my hair to the back while I was talking."There is no way that I would just tell him straight away. I will just keep it to myself and perhaps talk about it when we are eighteen years of age and also we must have discovered who we are mated to. If we are mated then,
SONIA "You keep telling me the same thing. Do you expect me to dictate for a seventeen-year old lady that is about to get married in about five months?" My mother said as I sat there on the edge of her bed. I could not believe that it had been three whole months since we arrived at the pack and there had been little or no difference. I sat there on her bed lost in thoughts as I thought of how the last three months have been. Levi did a good job convincing my father that he should leave the welcome party until the night of the wedding. "Just so pathetic!" I said to myself and just when I wanted to deviate my thoughts from Levi to something else, the voice of my mother echoed and I was jolted immediately from my reverie as i quickly tilted my head to look at her with a scrunching face as she talked."You are still mute! What are you thinking about?" She asked me and I stood up from the bed immediately. I heaved a heavy sigh as I patted my hair to the back, thinking of what to say and
ELARAI heaved a sigh, standing in front of the room of Alpha Theo. I still tried to wonder why he didn't want me to finish the training successfully. "What could he have against me? Was I wrong for saving his wife?" I asked myself and just then took a deep breath before I knocked on the door."Who is there? Come in!" His voice echoed from inside and I took a few seconds before I opened the door to walk inside. I wasn't surprised to see him and his wife sitting on the bed and then I bowed to greet them. Both were surprised to see me and then Lady Marissa talked first before the Alpha."What are you doing in the pack this time? Were you given some days off again?" She asked and I only shook my head slightly as I lowered my head. "Was this really a time for acting?" I asked myself and then I took a deep breath before I bowed to greet them again."Not at all lady Marissa. I wasn't given any days off again. There is...." The alpha didn't let me finish what I was saying before he interrupt
ALLAN I sat there under the tree, lost in thoughts about Helen. "How is she fairing over there?" I asked myself. My heart raced faster from the thoughts I had and then I stood up immediately from the chair i sat. I wanted to get her thoughts off my mind but each time I tried, I ended up thinking about her more. As I took steps deep into the garden, I began to hear some rustling sound as legs stepped on dried leaves. I halted my steps immediately and turned around to see who it was and then my gaze fell on Eli as she said walked towards me. "Why was she following me? How did she even know that I was here in the first place?" I asked myself and waited for her to get close to me. She bowed as soon as she was in my presence and I could only gesture in response to her greetings, wondering why she was here. "Good day young alpha. Sorry for creeping in on you like that." She said and I made a scrunching face immediately. "Firstly, how did she know that I was here? Secondly, why was she he
ELARALeaving the pack was the best decision I have ever made, growing up. It's almost three months since I left and there has been a significant change in my life. I had to return to the former pack where it all began and I was surprised to see that a lot had changed after just a month of being away from them. I was not welcomed at first until Alpha Dale was called and he told them that he was aware that I left the pack and he approved it. "Are they even serious? How can they call Alpha Dale? Was he the one that brought me into the pack?" I asked myself several times and my mind wandered off to the thoughts.Many new faces were all over the place and a few old ones were still around. I was made to understand that some of them had been sold off while others ran away because they could not cope with the kind of torture they were made to undergo. Although it didn't change anything that I was away for a month, I was given the same treatment as before when I came back to the pack. It was
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
