I felt so so strange. My mum was definitely still alive, so what was that dream all about? As I sat up on the bed, Karima walked in. That moment, I remembered seeing her in the dream, with Madison. I sat up immediately, feeling so weird.
She was not smiling this time around, rather she had a normal, straight expression on. "You are finally awake, Mira." She pointed out and I scrunched my brows.
"What do you mean?" She walked closer to the bed side and subconsciously, I found myself shifting gently away, as if I did not want her to come close. She did not fail to notice that also and her expression changed."Did I do something wrong, Mira?" She raised her brows, looking worried.
"No, I just.. it's nothing." I responded and she backed up. "Lord Reign is waiting for you in the living room. He has been waiting for over two hours." She informed."Which of them?"
"Jordan." She replied and I sighed gently. "Why did you not wake me then?"
"He said not to." She replied and I got off the bed slowly. I almost fell back on the bed because my head started pounding all of a sudden. I felt super weak."Are you okay, Mira?"
"I am well, please take me to him." I said to her and we walked out of the room together, heading for the living room.
"Jordan." I reached out the moment I sighed him sitting on the couch. He turned around, facing me. He stood immediately and walked up to me."Are you alright?" He asked and I furrowed my brows, he was being caring all of a sudden.
Just then, Karima cleared her throat and said "Lord Reign.." The moment she said that, he stepped away from me, looking away.What was that all about? I was curious too but before I could raise my voice to ask any questions, Karima held me by the arm and led me to sit on a couch. What was with this baby girl treatment, really? Then I remembered how she was in the dream.
Something struck my heart immediately. Whatever that dream was, I did not know but I could not forget the part where Karima laid on a floor filled with broken chandeliers, just to protect me.
I suddenly started to feel guilty. This was not me, but something was finding that expression through me.
I did not even realize that I had my eyes on her and that they were trying to call my attention. I had totally zoned out."Mira, are you sure you are okay?" I heard her ask and I immediately took my eyes off her, only to feel something streaming down my cheeks. I raised my palm to my face slowly to see what was going on, then I realized they were tears.
Tears?! What?!! I was crying? Why? How?
The whole thing was very strange.
"You are crying, Mira. Is anything the problem?" Jordan asked and I shook my head, feeling helpless and so lost. "No idea, either. I don't know what's going on." I was more like crying for help through my tone.They both turned to look at each other, then their eyes fell back on me again.
"Did anything strange happen to you before now?" Jordan asked and the dream dropped on my mind immediately.I was going to tell them about it but a part in me did not want to trust them enough to tell that dream. I decided to keep it to myself and I shook my head.
"No, nothing happened." Jordan did not look convinced but I was not ready to go further.I decided to change the topic, hoping they would buy it. "So, why are you here Jordan? You would never come to my place in person, on a normal day." I pointed out.
"Karima told me what happened earlier today." He started with and I frowned then turned to Karima. "You report to him everything?"
I was not relating with her as my boss at work but as... someone that was working for me. And that was very far from the reality."She has no choice but to." Jordan replied and I frowned at him also, as if saying that he should let her speak for herself.
"So...what now?""Don't act nonchalant, young lady. I will get straight to the point anyway." There was a brief silence before he spoke again.
"Karima is Madison's sister, they have always served you, something happened and you had to be separated from them but now they are back to serve you. Also, they have always been accountable to me about you, right from the time when you were in that jerk's pack, serving as a figure head Luna."Oh, so that was how he knew what happened with my recent marriage? Wow. Madison kept tabs on me for him? The way he spoke also was as if he had something against Adrien, something unholy by the way.
"Hold on, stop, I find it hard to take all these information in. I can't even believe it." I exclaimed and he stared right into my eyes.
"You know it very well, Mira, the conviction is there. Check your within." He sounded so sure of what he was saying.I did what he asked me to do and somehow, I started to believe it even without solid proofs. I just believed his words.
"There is no point in lying to you, Lady. You will eventually know this so why would we lie?" Karima chipped in and I raised my brows."And why are you calling me that?" I asked.
"That's how you are you." Jordan snapped and I retorted too.
"Oh please, let her speak for herself. I am Mira Silver, don't call me Lady!" I instructed firmly.After we had a few more discussions, majorly discoveries about my wolf. I believed all reports they gave me one after the other and I could not help but be surprised.I wanted to probe further but he strongly and indirectly countered me. I already got his message so I no longer bothered, then I remembered his burning forest. "How's the Eldrid forest now?" I asked."Why do you care?" Jordan just suddenly started acting grumpy. What was his deal, really? "Why not? I was there when Kai reported it to you, and by the way what's Eldrid forest?""The training ground." Karima responded and my eyes widened. "Really? Really? That forest where I almost died?" I raised my brows,not believing I had been so worried about the forest that almost had me killed. "That was my fault, I am very sorry." Karima apologized and I frowned. "Why are you taking responsibility for what happened?" "She has to, because she serves you.""You have overstayed your welcome, Jordan, you can leave." I said to hi
My heart kept racing as the clock ticked closer to midnight. Soon it would be 12 AM, and if I didn’t shift this time, I’d be in serious trouble. It was that time of year again – the Blood Moon, when the lunar eclipse happens, and every werewolf around the world shifts.But I was terrified. I had never met my wolf, not even once, despite all these years.Sitting on the bed, I stared into the full-length mirror across from me. My hands gripped the sheets as a flood of thoughts filled my mind.What if I don’t shift again? What if it’s like last time? Will I be stuck like this forever?These thoughts weighed me down. We were reaching a breaking point, and I knew my mate would throw me out if I failed to shift. I was never really accepted as his wife or Luna, but I didn’t think I could bear it if that happened now.I knew I was just an Omega, but I prayed earnestly to the moon goddess."Please, just this once, let it happen. I want to have a child," I prayed. For me to shift and have a chi
At exactly midnight, the Seventh Heritage Pack's howls filled the air as people began shifting into their wolf forms. Even those who had never shifted before were transforming for the first time, but I was still standing there, human like.Tears welled up in my eyes as my hope slowly faded. I looked away from the wolves and turned my gaze to my mate. He sat in the place of honor with his parents, the former Alpha and Luna, alongside with the council of elders—the highest authorities in the pack.If I were the Luna, I would have been sitting beside Adrien. But Claire had specifically ordered that I sit among the regular pack members, though she did place me in the front row to give me some dignity.I noticed Adrien looking at me too, but I couldn’t tell if he felt sad for me or if he was just indifferent.As the night went on, I saw people pointing at me and whispering things that were clearly meant to mock me.The worst part was that my tears wouldn’t even fall. They were stuck in my
I spent a long time by the lake, just thinking. Now I understood why Madison had tried to stop me earlier. I felt cursed and confused. How could so much happen in a single day, and it wasn’t even noon yet?I loved and trusted Adrien so deeply that I didn’t see this coming. Maybe I saw the signs but chose to ignore them. It didn’t seem fair. Despite all the hate, rejection, and betrayal I had faced from his people, he still betrayed my love and trust.I cried by the lake, feeling as though I was going to die. My heart was aching so much that I wished I could just remove it. The pain inside me was weakening me on the outside.I lay on the grass, lost in thought until some guards arrived. I recognized them as Alpha Arthur's men—Adrien’s father, who was the Alpha King. Adrien was also an Alpha, serving under his father."The Alpha King wants to see you," one of them said. They weren’t in their usual uniforms but wore black suits, looking more like security guards. This kingdom and pack we
I scrunched my brows. "What are you talking about, mother? What is..going on here?""You can continue with the pretence the moment you are out of this pack, you shameless thief." Claire continued.I was still so confused. How did they come to the conclusion that I did that? Just how?The only claim was that I had been to the pack earlier that afternoon when Arthur summoned me and Claire, even though she was not there she said I must have taken the opportunity to reach her room and stole her jewelry. On top of that, I was accused of leaving the pack house immediately after stealing the items. What a story! It was all perfectly made up and I could not even defend myself. I looked at Adrien who was sitting on a sofa in the living room. We had an unsettled issue but I had to swallow my pride and ask him for help, communicating with non-verbal cues.My husband looked away, leaving me surprised. He was supposed to be the only person who could vouch for me over anything, being the closest.
I could not believe my eyes and ears. This was my own husband proposing to me divorce papers without remorse or emotions in his eyes, like I had never meant anything to him. 'Please, don't do this.' I felt the urge to say that but I could not. My pride muttered to me a lot and it overwhelmed me. I just sneered and dragged the suitcase with me out of the house, with no destination in mind. The moment I stepped out of the house, I was hit with the dark clouds in the sky. It was about to rain and I had no destination in mind. All of a sudden, I heard someone call me. "My lady!" I turned around immediately to see Madison at the door. I started feeling some liquids drop on me and within the twinkle of an eye, rain started pouring down quite heavily. Madison got into the rain and it was then I noticed the big bag she was carrying. "I packed the few things I could pack quickly, my lady. I will come with you." She said and I furrowed my brows, frowning at the same time. It just did not
All I saw were huge hotels and obviously, it would cost a fortune to just spend a night there. Why were things like these in the outside world? Before now, you could easily see three local motels in a street but I barely saw any.I kept on walking in further and then I glanced at the watch Adrien had gotten me for my birthday. It was already past 9 PM and I was still searching for a motel. I knew how unsafe it could be at this time of the day, since I had an experience of sneaking out of my father's pack last at night to parties.I spent so recklessly and all my credit cards got restrained by my parents. And I became stranded. REST INN. Was the inscription that boldly indicated a motel at the top of a one storey building. "Finally."I heave a sign of relief as I made my way into the motel. I was met with colored red lights at every angle which gave a shady vibe that didn't go well with my instincts. It was an indication that this place was a red flag but what can I do at this poi
I did not enjoy a bit of the night, I stayed awake half of the whole night anyways. Being disturbed by mosquitoes, cold and then the troubling memories and traumatic years with Adrien and his merciless family. It would have been much better if I had gotten rejected the very first time, then running away from my father's pack would not have happened. Adrien as an alpha showed so much interest in me and stupid me fell in love with him, having not been loved by any man because I was an incomplete werewolf. I was human and not yet a wolf so no alpha could get married to me. As soon as it was 6 AM, I got up from the floor and packed my stuff. It cost me a whole lot to ignore the stains in the bathroom and just have my bath. Heavens knew how much I wanted to get out of there so fast. I tried switching the running water to hot then I realized the faucet was bad. What to do? I was already undressed and was ready to take my bath, going outside was a no no. Despite the chilly weather that
