AlishaHearing Mischa say that made me astounded. Everyone else I had seen seemed to have no hope left for them to leave, but here was Mischa brimming with that same hope.If she had that much hope, then what right did I have to give up on myself like that? I had to stand my ground, and find a way to leave this place as well.A spark was ignited in me and I smiled at her.“I think you should,” I replied to her words. “If i could, then I would as well.”She opened her mouth, looking conflicted, when we heard footsteps approaching. Immediately, she stood and covered her face with a hood.“I’ll come find you again, soon,” she promised.“Wait,” i stoped her briefly. “Can you help me check on a maid? She’s got blonde hair. Her tongue was taken out, so she doesn’t speak. If you find her please tell her I wish her well.”“I will,” Mischa said and I smiled as she turned and left the prison through another passage.Before anyone else could show up I quickly hid the bundle of food Mischa had br
AlishaWhat?I gaped at her, full of shock before I heard footsteps.A guard was coming once more. Panic flooded me.Mischa stood up and yelled the hood over her face without a word.“Think about it,” she said to me. “I want you to come with us, Alisha. You can’t stay here.”Then she left.Hours after she left, I was still in shock.Dear moon goddess, was this how my salvation would come? I prayed inwardly for what felt like forever, thinking of all the good and bad that could happen with this plan.If I joined them, I wanted things to work out. I needed to live, and to leave this place, for myself, and for my children.No matter what.The next time that Mischa came in, I accepted the offer, to her obvious joy.…“Alpha,” the sound of the guard greeting Sebastian was what made me look up from the spot I was squatted on. I stiffened upon seeing his eyes immediately meet mine as he walked in.“What do you want?” I all but spat at him, obviously not in the mood to deal with whatever he h
Sebastian:I opened my eyes when I heard a soft groan and movement of a body beside me. The blooming headache made me wince and utter a curse word on that moment.I glared at the black hair of the girl I had been with. Unlike Alisha’s, her hair was curly and shoulder length. I cared little for her looks though. She had been nothing but a poor excuse for a replacement for my true mate. Gritting my teeth at the thought of that infuriating woman who would rather be in the cells than to return to me.Once she had given birth to whoever’s child she had, she would be forced to submit to me once and for all. The thought of it made my manhood stir and I smirked, staring at the willing target who slept beside me now.I gripped the girls waist and pulled her roughly to me and she let out a gasp, clearly coming to.Before she could say anything however, I poised myself length against her opening and sheathed myself in one thrust.She let out a loud cry, and began to struggle. I paid it no attent
Alisha:“We have to keep going,” I said to Hilda, Mark and Mischa, as the forest was filled with red-orange hues from the setting sun.We had started off on a torturous pace, that even my legs became numb. On top of that, the first two days we pushed on without sleep and made sure we had put a lot of distance between us and the pack before we could finally rest.It had been three days since we escaped the Silver Moon Pack, and i felt free of the thoughts that the warriors could catch us. With how far we had gone, it would be nearly impossible for them to find us now.“We should make camp this evening, don’t you think?” Mark started to disagree with my idea.I pressed my hand against my large bump that was making it increasingly harder to move.“I think that the more distance we put between us and the Silver Moon Pack, the better,” I stated. “It’s only been three days since we left. The chances he’s out there looking for us, at least for ME, is very high. I want us to keep going.““I a
Alisha:“Alisha?!” Mischa yelled my name, as I must have let out pained groan.“My babies…” it began to dawn on me that I was now in labour, just like Simon’s book had said. “They’re coming.”I don’t know much of what happened after that. I recall moments when the tent was filled with women trying to coax me to push. I felt the sweat on my brow being wiped my Mischa’s steady hand. I felt pain coursing through my body as I kept on pushing, following the primal instinct I had within me. I thought of Derek; I thought of the family I always wanted. I longed to hold the two babies I was blessed with and see them with my own two eyes. I wanted to care for them and make their lives a lot better than mine had been.At some point I must have blacked out, because the next thing I knew was the cry of my babies. Two of them.My vision focused as soon as I heard Mischa saying, “Ssh. Your mom is asleep.”“Misch,” it felt like there was a lump in my throat as I reached for her.She smiled at me wit
Alisha:The night was quiet and I enjoyed the feeling of being one of the only ones awake in the camp. Keenan was snoring beside me, in a separate sleeping bag, and I was facing the other side, watching over my two babies who were also fast asleep.I gently reached out and caressed Aria’s hair, which seemed to curl in on itself as I touched the soft strands.I didn’t realize that Keenan wasn’t snoring anymore until I heard him say, “You’re a good mother,” to me.I stiffened and turned to glance at him. He was sitting up on his sleeping bag and looked to be brooding for some reason.“Thanks,” I said in a low tone so as not to wake my children up. “I always hoped I would be one. I want them to have a good life.”“That’s what every parent wants for their children,” he huffed. “Unfortunately, not everyone gets to be there to see their kids grow up.”“I get the idea that you’re speaking from experience,” I remarked as gently as I could. He fell silent and our eyes met. It was then that rea
Alisha:“Momma, look! A bee!” Aria chubby toothed smile made me smile as well. She was in Hilda’s arms, pointing at everything she could see.“Yes, Ari,” I singsonged, walking beside her with Ares in me arms, snoring gently. “I see them.”It had already been over two years since Keenan’s death. Spring has come after the long winter, and I enjoyed the sights and sounds of birds and feeling the cool breeze after a small rain shower.I turned to Hilda, who was visibly pregnant. She and Mark and gotten together after a while, and they seemed happy with each other.“Are you okay?” I gently asked her, looking for any signs of discomfort. “If you need to rest, please let me know.”She smiled and shook her head, pointing to Aria who was awing at everything in her arms. I smiled back, and nodded.Mischa moved to stand beside me as we continued traveling.“Hey,” i greeted her. “How’s my favorite warrior?”She snorted, shaking her head. Her hazel eyes still shone with humor even now. Over time s
Benjamin:I groaned to myself after I finished training.“That’s enough,” I said to the trainees - five of them rather - who all looked winded and like a small breeze could bowl them over.“Thanks, sir,” one of the trainees said.I smirked at them, having barely broken a sweat, and walked off from the training grounds.The way to Derek’s home was filled with me being stopped here and there by pack members, for one thing or another. Derek had once joked that I was capable enough to be the Beta of the pack if I so wished.That is, once we managed to get rid of Gerard.My mood soured a bit upon thinking of that damned man. He was fast becoming a thorn not just in Derek’s side but in mine as well. He didn’t seem to like that I had become more popular and well liked by the members of our pack.Entering the mansion I headed towards Derek’s study, hoping he was in.I heard a responding groan and a “What?!” from the other side of the door when I knocked.Rolling my eyes I opened the door and
