After narrating all of her suspicions to Becky. Becky offered a sly nonsensical excuse to the manager who let her leave. Sophia made sure she didn't step into the restaurant, she sat in the cab until Becky came over. She did not want to see any of the staff members since they all knew how much she prided herself as a decent girl, her reputation as a mistress was currently not helping her live up to her identity. The gossip would be too much for her to handle.
Becky took her to her house. Sophia sat down tentatively. The house had not changed much. Obviously, Becky spent more money on herself than her surroundings. Being an orphan allowed her to live carefree with no responsibilities.
“What about your mother?” Becky asked out of the blue. “She is fine. She says she is doing well. She is currently at Eddie’s pack. She does not miss Zang Pack so she is fine there as long as Alan chose me” Sophia said that last partHappiness wasn't as far-fetched as he'd thought. He never imagined a day would come when he'd cherish his maid even more than life itself. Julian had been out of touch since the meeting, but Eddie was still around, albeit with a message to deliver. Their close bond had been broken, but it could possibly be repaired if he could explain the misunderstanding to Eddie.Leaving Sophia peacefully sleeping on the bed, he didn't want to disturb her. He grabbed his phone and walked out to the living room. It wasn't much of a surprise to find Eddie waiting for him there.Alan tightened his robe as he approached. "Are you here to deliver the final blow?""We could go to war if you're up for it," Eddie suggested.Alan raised an eyebrow. He cherished the peace he currently had, so why try to sabotage it? "And achieve what exactly?"Eddie gave him a scornful look. "Do you even know why we're so annoyed with you?""My best friends refused to believe me. Wh
Tears welled up in Sophia's eyes as she watched Alan's car drive out of the compound. She felt like a wedge between him and his family, but she couldn't bring herself to leave, especially with his child growing inside her. She hadn't even informed him about all the chaos that was going on.But she had to find him. She couldn't just stay behind while he was troubled like that. Sophia went back inside, grabbed her bag, and sent a message to Becky, just in case Alan returned before her. Hailing a cab, she knew she was well-known, so she planned on taking a detour, maybe stopping somewhere far away and trekking from there.The werewolf local hospital was the only aspect of modernization that the Zang Pack hadn't adopted. It was a completely local healing centre, where wolves were treated in both their animal and human forms, using only traditional medications. While humans were allowed to own their hospitals as well, werewolves didn't visit those places. This meant that So
A stack of papers from the office was placed on the floor before Alan who sat down with Paulo in his living room floor as the two of them began sorting the financial records of the plantations. Alan wanted to get to know why the plantation funds were so poor. He had thought it would be easily redeemable with proper management but now he knew better than that. There had to be some mismanagement of funds there.If truly the Anda’s helped out yearly then why was the plantation so poor? And there had been no redevelopment plans ongoing whatsoever after it burnt down. Uncle Jocka must be thinking he was stupid.He was so engrossed with his work that he did not realize a shiny pair of eyes were looking at him.Paulo’s tap made him look up“You killed Jocka’s wolves. Are you sure that is a wise step?” Paulo asked, one could see his scared expression and sweaty palms.“I merely s
The morning sickness kicked in over the next three weeks, and she couldn't avoid it any longer. She had been successful in avoiding going to the hospital, always finding excuses when Alan insisted on it. But she knew she couldn't hide her condition for much longer. Lately, she had been avoiding his touch altogether. She made sure he didn't get close to her. Alan was understanding, but he was also exhausted, juggling his studies and taking charge of the pack. He had suggested that she take her courses online, but she had no motivation to study. Pregnancy brought irritability and a persistent fever that she had to pass off as the flu. Paulo seemed to be the only one who suspected something. He kept staring at her every minute, as if trying to figure out what was going on. Today, she felt particularly down, and she was sure even the child inside her could sense it. The house felt incredibly gloomy without Alan, and she didn't dare step outside, not in her weaken
Finally falling asleep in the wee hours of the morning, Sophia thought she would die before morning. It was awful, her stomach was in turmoil and she could not even eat the slightest food yet she could not call attention to herself. She needed help and she needed it fast. She had tried calling Becky but the call would not connect. It kept on dropping.Anxious as hell, she got dressed and prepared to look for some cheap hospital around where she could ask for medication. Anxious to sneak out undetected, she rushed out of her room not taking note of the pair of cold eyes watching her from the slightly open door a few metres away from hers.She could not stomach food, so she hung her bag tightly on her shoulder and tried to leave the house.She could not find Alan around the house, which means she was clear. He must have left the house early for work, he seems to be doing some sort of secret investigation these days on the
Sophia woke up to the sound of an intense argument in the car as they sped down the lane."I think she should go see her mother. That way, her mother can take care of her," Eddie emphasized."And have Alan come pick her up again? No way.""What?" Eddie asked, dumbfounded. "Who said anything about Alan? I won't let him get to her. I promise. I'll tell him to deal with his issues first, and then he can come get her if she wants." Eddie defended himself as he tried to convince Julian."Hey, focus on your driving," Julian commanded."I'm serious, man.""She's coming with me," Julian said with finality."I'm not so sure about that. She's your friend's woman, and you happen to love her like your own life. If she's in your pack, don't you think sparks might fly?" Eddie asked, concerned."Then it'll be his loss," Julian concluded."Oh no," Eddie mocked, "I don't want to be part of Alan thrusting a drill sword into your heart. We
SLOANA'S POV Being a werewolf afforded her so many senses, and one of them was going to save her tonight. The intruder in her home must have thought she was stupid to be so relaxed. Though she couldn't scent them out as they had scented her, the night wind was intense and angry. Her curtains blew up in a second, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes staring deeply at her. Sloana felt all the air escape her lungs. Alan was sitting on the windowsill with a bloody knife in his hand. Sloana felt her blood pressure spike. He would kill her if her plan was exposed. She had to determine how much he knew. She tried to roll out of bed in time, but he was faster, agile in fact. He locked her neck in a death grip. "Where is Sophia?" "She is just a maid who stumbled into your life, and you want to kill me for her?" Sloana screamed, aghast as Alan held her throat tightly while she lay in her bed. She was nearly going pale.
Groaning in extreme pain, Alan woke up to find himself in his old room in the Zang Mansion. He wondered how he got there. He looked around at his childhood pictures hanging all over the room. Julian and Eddie’s pictures as well. The room had practically belonged to the three of them. They laughed and played from dusk till dawn with his mother constantly berating them to clean up the room.Alan closed his eyes forcing out the memories. He didn’t want to remember at all. He did not want to recall those days when his parents were still in his life.It was best if he forgot about them, as he could not imagine how his father must have signed a betrothal contract without his knowledge.The gentle shuffling of feet outside his door made him note that Maska Zang was coming into his room. Not willing to entertain any discussion, Alan pretended as though he were asleep.Maska Zang pushed the door open, chuckling at the sight of him. 
After storming out of the house, Alan had no destination in mind, but Eddie ordered him to a restaurant as feeding his stomach was his main navigator. The wolves they met at the restaurant all greeted Alan warmly, with some even getting bold enough to ask about Sophia and when Alan was bringing her back. Alan replied to them all good-naturedly, though he did not give out Sophia’s condition to anyone. Eddie, however, hurried to a table, ignoring all the leering stares that were directed at him. Alan sat next to him unable to eat, he thanked their teen waitress and gave her a generous tip. The girl smiled happily as she left them.
News of the war had flittered to Julian's pack, and they were not good news. Jordan had arrived earlier and was in a close meeting with Maska Zang. She was not a werewolf and could not hear them and those darn werewolves were good at not being heard if they didn't want it.Using a hand to support her stomach, Sophia left her room and began walking the expanse of the courtyard. She knew Fega had her in her line of sight but the wolf was not seen. She had been focused on something latel
Just to be sure she was not faking it, Alan got close to Sloana and saw she was still breathing, her form changed gradually back to her human form, and in a pool of her blood.Seeing as she was fast fading off, Alan left her there and sat beside her. That was where Jordan found them. Jordan was in his human form and he had a set of clean clothes in his hands for Alan to change into. Alan hesitated to do that until he was sure Sloana was no longer breathing.
Alan wanted the party to be the best, so he lifted the forced lockdown Maska Zang had imposed on the city. Both humans and werewolves were free to roam around. The festive mood further cheered the residents up, including humans. Alan made sure to employ many of them in planning the festival, which had a lot to do with dancing and eating. The Luna Moon Festival celebration took place at night when the moon was out; it was a special night dedicated to the Luna of the pack. This was to recognize her authority and ensure the continual submission to her authority by the pack.The pack wolves were surprised that Alan allowed the festival to take place. Many suspected it was due to the recent murder charge against him, and they were not quiet with their observations, though they were sensible enough not to confront him with it.Alan solved the murder by obtaining the CCTV footage, or whatever was left of it. that Sloana wasnt smart enough to tamper with. Through that, he was able to prove th
Sloana’s POVThings were going wrong. She had thought she had won Alan by at least two shots. But how had things gone so wrong? Hiding in one of her secret cabins in the woods, she refused to back down. Her parents were also with her in the room as she paced the length of the room. She would not back down like this. All her life was in Zang City: her prestige, her honour, her title as the Luna of the pack. She was not giving that up ever.
Fega's P.O.VFega was walking down the staircase when she was suddenly grabbed by one of Maska Zang's guards into an unknown spacious room. She manoeuvred herself out of his hold in no time.She had the Wolf by his throat, ready t
There appeared to be a bustle of activities going on outside her door, but no one had informed her about it. When she asked Fega, she was told to stay out of it as it was none of her business. Now, she couldn't help but feel apprehensive. She had heard Eddie's voice not too long ago, but he did not attempt to come in and talk to her.The door opened to admit Fega, who seemed to be busy doing nothing. Sophia watched her in silence. Fega had never touched the flowers in the room, let alone ar
Maska Zang was furious, seething with anger. Alan had relocated him from the Zang Pack House to their temporary packhouse towards the outskirts of Zang City because they no longer knew who was colluding with Sloana. Maska Zang had searched for the Andas, but they had all vanished, leaving Alan to wonder how their escape had gone unnoticed. Sloana was meticulous, Alan had to give her that. She and Rod were currently untraceable. Maska Zang had deployed the entire guard force to search high and low for both of them. But Alan knew she would surface; he was certain of it. That's why the Luna Moon Festival had to proceed. Sloana was not one to stay away from what she thinks is rightfully hers. He needed to apprehend her personally, and he knew she wouldn't wait for fate to bring her to him; she'd come out on her own. The city had been placed under lockdown on Maska Zang's orders, much to Alan's relief. He didn't want her to hold any area hostage. Despite the ongoing media buzz about him
