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
SONIA "Would you just stay like this and not talk to anybody? It's really not fair at this point. I have been trying to talk to you since but you only look at me in the eyes reluctantly and take your gaze off almost immediately and still won't say a word. Please talk to me." Eli pleaded for the umpteenth time for me to talk to her but I could not say a word. Even if I wanted to talk, I just could not form words from my mouth. I just hoped that she would get the hint that I didn't want to talk to anyone at that moment but I didn't want to be harsh to her that was why I was still keeping mute."What is wrong with you, lady Sonia? Why do you have this kind of face on? You are really scaring me and getting me worried. Talk to me please." Her voice echoed again and it was still the same reaction that I gave her initially that I gave her again. She looked away from me for a moment as if she was trying to cook up something in her head again to talk but she did not say anything immediately.
ALLAN I stood there in the middle of the room, waiting for my question to be answered but the whole place was quiet. I tilted my head slightly to look at Eli who was behind me. She lowered her head slightly and I tilted my head back to look at Sonia, clearing my throat slightly to talk."What is going on with you? Why are you staying quiet? Is there anything that is going on and you don't want to talk to me?" I asked her in a loud tone and then I moved closer to her to sit beside her on the edge of the bed."There is nothing to talk to you about. You should leave this room immediately. As you can see, I just want to stay on my own for a moment and think about my life. Is it too much to ask?" She asked me in a sharp tone and shook my head for a moment before I talked."You don't have to be that sassy or harsh about everything. What is it exactly that is going on with you and how can we be of help to you?" I asked slowly in a low tone as I tried to pick my word carefully. She chuckled
ELARA"What the hell are you doing here? Is there nothing available to do or are you just being lazy? Need I remind you that you are here now and you cannot stay idle?" The alpha said in his usual harsh voice and I immediately tilted my head around to look at him, lowering my head but not for long."I am sorry, alpha. But there is nothing more to do. I did everything that I was supposed to do and that is why I came here to rest." I said in a low tone but he didn't let me land properly before he interrupted me and I was jolted. Fear gripped me and I became shaky while he talked."Who said that you can rest in this pack? Who gave you the liberty to rest at your will?" He said and I knew better not to say anything to annoy him more than he already was. "What was I supposed to do at this point?" I asked myself but nothing was coming to my head."Are you trying to disrespect me?" He suddenly asked and I raised my head immediately to look at the expression on his face. I gave him a puzzled
ALLANI walked back to my room with different thoughts rushing through my mind. "Was I the one that just said that?" I asked myself as I walked in the direction of my room. Not long after, I was standing in front of my room and then I inhaled deeply before tilting the doorknob to open the door. As soon as I tried to walk in, I noticed an approaching footstep and I waited to see who it was and then my gaze fell on Sonia as she walked towards me. "What was she doing here again? I told her what she wanted to hear already. What is it this time again?" I asked myself as I waited for her to catch up before I walked into the room."Why did you just leave? You didn't even wait to hear what I wanted to say. You just left the room just like that and didn't let me finish talking. That's not how this is supposed to be. We were both supposed to sit and talk about this. You and I, together." I watched her as she gestured every part of her words. I tried to gather as many thoughts in my head as I co
SONIA I scoffed at him and took my gaze away from him for a moment as I tried to reason what he had just said. "Why did he keep mentioning that to me?" I asked myself and then took a deep breath as I tilted my head back to look at him. Just as I opened my mouth to talk, a knock came on the door forcing my attention away from him to the door as I immediately turned to look at the door. He waited for the person to knock again before he answered the knock and the door opened slightly with a guard peeking through."Good day, young alpha. Good day, lady Sonia! I hope I didn't interrupt anything?" He asked in a low tone as he remained there at the door. Levi nodded his head slightly as he beckoned for him to come into the room. He walked straight to the center of the tool where we stood and bowed to greet us before he cleared his throat slightly to talk. I only looked away as I tried not to pay attention to whatever he was about to say but I just could not keep my mind out. I didn't know w
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
