A few days had passed again and I was yet to get in touch with Jordan since that day at annatoria. Everything that had happened with us both kept emerging in my head during my idle times. The day for the welcome party my parents planned for me had arrive already. All pack members within the territory were to attend, some people from other countries would be attending as well.According to Maddie, my father also sent out a few invites to some Alphas from other packs which made my frown on the idea after knowing what that means."They are all young Alphas but I don't have their full details." Madison said."It's not what I am thinking, is it?" I let out trying to doubt what was going through my head. "How..could I possibly know what you are..thinking mylady?""Is he not trying to look for an Alpha suitor for me, isn't he?" I asked plainly, not intending to beat around the bush. "Well, it does seem like that to me also." She responded calmly, agreeing to my thoughts.The moment we con
The moment I saw that name, my heart skipped a bit. He was invited? That asshole who almost ruined my life was invited to my own welcome party in my own pack? I looked up, summoning courage. I was under my father's covering so there was nothing he could do.I looked in the direction where those Alphas were seated so I could spot him and I did. Our eyes literally met. 'Nice one.' I said in my head. What was he thinking of when he got the invite? Maybe he did not know it was me?Or probably his assistant did not give him the full details? Well he had no idea my father was the Alpha of the Silver Claw pack but he knew I was from there, despite that this dude had the audacity to even come down to this pack?I was so pissed off and then I heard murmurs rising amongst the crowd. Immediately, I let go of whatever i was feeling at that moment and just wanted to stick to why I was on the podium with my welcoming speech."Alpha Adrien...I celebrate you for coming here today." I decided to sa
I trailed down my memory to the time I met Karima and then, Jordan. My heart skipped a beat again. This feeling was not a natural one and something needed to be done about it. Of all things, I did not think I was ready to love anyone or give them my all.All of a sudden, I felt something cold drop on my arm. "Hm?" I checked my arm to see that it was water then I lifted my eyes up to the skies. Despite the fact that it was dark already, I could still see the dark clouds. Following me knowing what a thunder sound is, a big sign that it was going to rain soon.What to do now? I left home without any survival plans, and I was very far from home already. Rain started to fall in no time and I ran somewhere into a shade, a relaxation shade that was dedicated to the estate residents. I was still within the pack, actually but the human race was mixed with us in this part of the pack. But it was quite far from the Royal pack house.I stood here for a while but the rain got heavier. It was so
My father was lying in the sick bed for days, still recovering. His treatments were made confidential while none of the council of elders knew about it. My mother and Beta Harold the third, my father's close friend and subordinate, were insistent on it. Apparently, that was what my father had instructed.That morning, I was just getting out of bed and trying to get myself together. It was one out of the few days of waking up feeling guilty and sorrowful. I was feeling quite better that morning but not fully.Then I got out of bed and headed into the washroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Skincare? I totally lost interest in them all. The moment I stepped out, my mother barged in gently and to some extent, I was startled."Mum! What's the issue?" I asked as I removed the face towel that I had hung around my neck. "Morning to you too, daughter." She replied hurriedly as she closed the door and came to where I was standing. From the look of it, she was quite troubled."What happ
I had gotten the key to one of our numerous cars from the valet, then I headed to Forever Penthouse. It was quite far away from the house so it took me a while before I eventually got there.I so much had this assurance in the vision I had about the location he was but when I got to the entrance of the penthouse, doubt crept into my heart. What if I did not meet him there? What would be my fate then?I decided to push through with it since I was there already. I walked into the lobby and looked around, it was exactly the same thing I saw in that vision then I walked up to the receptionists to request access to the penthouse but I was denied it."Why? I just said it's so urgent that I really need to see the person now." I hammered on my words again but all the lady I spoke to did was to give me this pitiful expression, accompanying it with a 'sorry'.A simple apology would not cut it, right? What should be my fate then? Go back to the pack house without Jordan after knowing fully well
It was that worse. Jordan followed me back to the Royal pack house, and I just had to keep my hopes high about the whole thing. I planned to take him straight to the room where my dad was but I had no idea there were strict interrogators waiting for me in the living room.The moment we got into the first living room, I met my mum, Beta Harold the third who was Julian's father and then Julian himself, waiting in the living room. The security around the pack house had tightened up that earlier when I left in the morning but I just waved it off."Mum, Uncle, can you just trust me?" I was worried and trying hard not to get pissed after they insisted that they could not allow just anyone to go in there to see my dad. There was this funny expression Julian had too, and he was glaring at Jordan, who just stood beside me without saying anything. He was not even trying to defend himself."The Alpha is the highest authority in this pack, Lady, and you know that very well. So we can't just bri
Through the night, we tried all we could to make my father fine but nothing worked. Jordan was not lying when he said he could not deal with illnesses like that. In my heart, I was already giving up on the whole thing. I was already developing wrinkles and eye bags within a few hours of consistent struggle.All I remembered was me crying and earnestly wishing that my father would not die. The next thing was me waking up on my bed.I opened my eyes to see someone sitting beside my bed, with arms folded and gaze fixated on me.Jordan. I wiggled gently as I tried to get out of bed. "Stay in bed, Mira." His masculine, authoritative voice came through and I relaxed myself against the many pillows behind me. "It's morning already?" I asked, grunting in pain. I felt so tired all over and the headache had the previous day followed me into this new day too. I was literally fed up."It is." He responded and I grunted again, closing my eyes and trying to stay calm. Before I knew it, he broug
Within an hour, we had my father dressed up in his normal royal attire like he usually does, after Jordan had succeeded in sharing him some healing energy that quickened his body.We needed to put on an act. I got dressed up and my mother did, we were all to act like nothing happened. "The Alpha is stepping out now, Lady." Madison said to me and my heart skipped a beat. I was really at alert and scared about the council not suspecting anything."Calm down, miss." Jordan said to me from where he was sitting with his legs crossed. "Get her some water please." He said to Maddie and I almost rolled my eyes. This was not a water drinking matter.I could not even spy the meeting because it was going to be holding somewhere far away from the pack. But I just wanted to believe that my father would be fine. Beyond the damn meeting now, his health mattered more to me.Meanwhile, about an hour after Beta Harold the third and Julian escorted my father to the meeting, Jordan suddenly picked int
I guess sleep was inevitable if care was not taken. I woke up to a loud commotion coming from the throne room. As soon as I opened my eyes and struggled to get out of bed, I glanced at my golden table clock and saw that it was just a few minutes to six AM. Immediately, I started panicking , out of fear of what happened last night had continued again. I rushed out of the room in my sleeping robe. As soon as I got outside, I was supposed to see Jordan but he was not there. Initially, he had assured me that he would be at my door, guarding me. I kicked against it but guess who was more stubborn? The fact that he was not there also meant something, so I just headed down to the first floor, running down the staircases in a haste.I walked into the throne room to see that it was a little crowded. Neither Julian nor Beta Harold the third were around because they were working on the assignments I had given them. I did not expect Julian to take that long though because whoever it was th
"You will be fine." He first said those words and I was getting soothed already. Then he continued, "But whether you run away or not, you will rule the Silver Claw pack." He slammed and my countenance changed.See who should be supporting me? For him to be so blunt and sound sure, he definitely knew what he was talking about. "But I don't want to. Really, I have no interest in this whatsoever." I expressed myself in return."You don't have to want it. It is what will happen, soon at that." He said those words and I was trying to take them in when we heard a strange noise from the Royal pack house. We were quite far from the pack house."What's going on?" I muttered, trying to stare into whatever could be happening in the houses. Slowly, we both started taking unequal strides back towards the pack house.As soon we got to the main entrance, I realized that the guys that were stationed were all down, almost all ten of them.. War! That word screamed in my head and my heart was thrown
There was this conviction I had within me immediately she said that. My spirit just resonated with the words, the truth about him being my mate.Though my mind was yet to capture the whole thing, my spirit already went on with it."So you mean...we used to be lovers in the past?" I raised my brows. "Centuries ago." She attested to it and the funniest part was that my reaction was not dramatic at all. I was just calm.I just felt his presence in the room at that time, his cologne filled my nostrils again and I turned around swiftly to see him standing at the door. His movements were usually so quiet and unnoticed.He just stood there, staring at us. With that knowing what I just received, my heart strings got pulled by just staring at him. This was not just my emotions now, but it was coming from an indepth. "Jordan." I called his name, muttering quite quietly. I stood up from the bed and started taking slow, quiet strides towards him. Just as I was about to get to where he was, Madi
It was already very late in the evening and it was almost time for dinner. I was to go get my father so I walked down to the room where he was in. I heard he was having a meeting with Jordan and I just guessed they were discussing leadership, or maybe...history?All I had in mind was to go call him and the ancient lord, everyone was already getting starved with hunger.As I got closer to the unguarded door, I paused for a while because I could hear their voices. It was one thing that the guards stationed were not there like they were supposed to. So I just stopped to eavesdrop on their conversation, innocently. "Your heart still lingers towards her." I heard my father's voice come through and I wondered, who was her?"She remains my first and last love, how could I possibly let her go?" Jordan replied then and I got confused more. He had a woman somewhere?"Despite what happened back then? I sincerely don't know what to take of this, Lord Reign. You of all people know fully well abo
