I was in Denver's family house for a get-together talking to his sister in-laws, when one of the in-laws was touching the neckline of my cloth. She was telling me how much the cloth cost since she was a fashion designer and a model who owns a large boutique in Florida. She kept ranting about the quality, while I was in pain as I tried to keep standing on a four inches heel. Her hand mistakenly brushed the bruise on my chest and I hissed a bit too loud for them to be suspicious. It was a deep v line neck, so it was easy to pull aside to reveal an angry looking bruise on the top of my breast. She didn't need a second look to know it wasn't a love bite. She asked as they all looked at me waiting to know the incident behind the injury. I didn't know what else to say, this was not the first time they had seen something like but I have always lied. Now I was tired, tired of covering up his shit. I was angry, I wanted them to know so they could help me. I felt like I was dying. It seemed a
"Wifey, I have been looking everywhere for you?" He was coming closer but Adam intercepted him. " Come to Denali's wood and you can take her. Don't tell anybody, let it be a surprise" he whispered to him but because of my supernatural hearing I heard it. My body shook violently. Was he going to hand me over to him?.He came back and opened the passengers door for me, behind him I saw Denver smirked evilly at me. I looked back at Adam confused. Didn't he just say he was happy to find me? Was he going to give me out so easily. He could be telling lies?. I stood there too shocked and confused to move. 'come on, It was a trap' he said. I shouldn't believe him, but I was and I got into the car. He ignited the car and we drove off, Denver's car trailing behind us with a few cars in between."I don't understand" I asked confused." It's time you give your wolf the blood it deserves. You are in pains and your wolf wants to revenge. If you don't do it, you might not be able to control your wo
My wolf was elated. It felt like a weight was lifted off my chest. I looked out the window as Adam drove passed the magic boundary. I felt his hand on my exposed thigh as his other hand stirred the wheel. His touch sent warm tingled down my spine. I looked at his hand, and him, but his eyes was on the road. I turned my head to continuing looking at the window, so he wouldn't see how much his touch affected me.Adam parked the car when we got to the house, the house that was more like a mansion. I stepped out of the car with my shopping bag in my hand. Adam opened the door of the house and stepped aside for me to get in, before he followed behind me . Evan was sprawled on the couch seeing a film with pop corn in his hand. Immediately I recognized the film as Alchemy of souls, I jumped to his side. He looked at us just noticing our presence cause he was so engrossed in the film. Adam sat at the couch beside us. " Will you get your bloody ass of my fucking couch" he shouted. It was then
The delivery came in no time and I paid with Adam debit card. He had left it with me since this morning. I ate pizza and watched the movie, waiting for Adam and Evan to come. It was late very late in the night when there was finally the clicking of the door. I waited for the person to enter the living room and was disappointed a bit to see it was Evan, he saw this and smirked.He sat at a couch opposite room mine, taking a slice of pizza. There was blood stain at the front of the shirt. I couldn't tell if it was his or the rogues. "What happened?" I asked for an explanation. "A family that was close to the border at the North was attacked by rogue. We were there in time for them not to cause anymore damage. The oldest son was severely injured by the rogues while trying to save his family. He is one of our soldiers, He will be okay".he answered. " So Adam told me there were rogues in our house to?" " Yes, something tell me it was a distraction. After all their main aim was to get eit
It was when I was through with my food and pushing it down with the tea that Evan came downstairs. "Can I eat before we go, I am famished" I am not sure he was asking for permission because he went straight to grab a plate and went to serve himself. I was angry at him before, but seeing how better he was from last night, my anger resolved.After eating we left for Luke's house. I was never allowed to have friends, and the people who invited me for dinner in their house I turned them down, giving one excuse or the other because I knew Denver was going to kill me if I asked him. My life was on hold all because I fell in love with the wrong guy. I was enjoying freedom here. I was starting a new life in another world. Even if there is a rogue situation and they are after me, I still love it here. We got to Luke's house. It was a small cabin with flowers decorating both sides of the house. It was beautiful and had a very simple structure. Evan knocked and after a few seconds, we heard a
It was as if they were here to provoke Adam. " They are bringing refreshments for all of us," Charlotte said. " Thanks, dear" Dorcas said. I concluded that Dorcas was the most annoying of the three of them. " Forgive Dorcas, you can go on," prudence said. I must say her voice was sweet, just like the smell of sugar that engulfed them" As I was saying, we have a rogue issue and we think you guys might be of help.", Adam said. He looked at them with a bit of doubt. Prudence would have noticed it but didn't say anything about it. She was the smartest of the three of them. She has an aura of confidence, her posture is poised. " So what is it?" She asked " Tell us" " Let's help" " We found out that the rogues that have been attacking the pack do not have scent, they disappear and appear. And I know that this is the work of a witch. I called you here to tell us how to get their scent and how to catch them". Adam said. That was when the door opened and Evan came in." Sorry, I am late
"you would have to join the line," I said to him. He looked at me and sighed. "Why don't you want me to do anything, I could force them to reverse the spell"" And how would you know they truly reversed it? I don't trust them so I would just wait for Sabrina to come" I said dragging him back to the kitchen. I looked for something to eat." Have you sent your soldier to go spy the place Simon said there were rogue?" I asked him trying to change the topic. After I was done with eating taking my plate to the sink to wash it. His eyes followed me as I stood up. "Yes, I have. They didn't enter though, just scan the place"" I was thinking we should go and check that place using their magic against them" I suggested, coming back to where I sat that was opposite from him. He thought about it, taking him off me. " Ok, that makes sense. But we can't do that if we don't know how to use the magic" he said but I wasn't bothered about that anymore. Something told me that Sabrina would be better
Evan looked at him in disbelief, I was also shocked but somehow I trusted him. I just wish he would tell us his plans. " But Adam, that is...." "Do as I say, Evan" he interjected not taking his eyes off the rock. Evan huffed and left angrily. " You could hold this, I already took a sample. We will go home and study it, then give you feedback" Sabrina said handing over the vial back to Adam. He collected it and placed it on his table. The aunties sat down waiting for what Adam had to say next, while Adam rested on his desk mindlinking someone. "Is there a way you could help us with the border, the magic barrier is fading. It won't be good if we have to add humans to our worries right now". Adam asked. " We had a human walking past it two weeks ago. That is Alaia here." Their head turned to me, a look of shock on their faces. I chuckled awkwardly." You were human?!" Aunty Elda exclaimed and I nodded my head in confirmation, I didn't think it was hard to believe." A human turned to
She understood what I meant and gestured for me to wait before leaving. She came back with her bag, she already removed her apron and was talking to the other woman before waving her hand for me to follow her. I stood up and caught up with her." Let's start with Sandra's house. She said she's got a new job. Her house is not far from here. Come on" she said increasing her pace. It didn't take long before we got there. It was a small cabin with a small garden at the side. The place looked welcoming and well taken care of, but it wasn't until we walked up the staircase before we thought otherwise. The wooden stair creaked under our weight with each step we took. Kaitlyn was the one who knocked on the door while I stood beside her. We waited for a few seconds before the door clicked open to reveal a woman in her mid-thirties. She was wearing a pair of pants and a blue top that had a patterned rose on it. Her blonde hair was braided making her look very young the first thing that crossed
There are a lot of problems on our hands now and I don't want to add grudges to it. I knocked on the door of Jack's house. I know Jack would be in the training ground but I was hoping Jerry would be at home. I smelled him in the house immediately after I got here, so I knew he was deliberately not answering and that is why I continued knocking persistently. ClickHe unlocked the door but didn't open it. after I realized he wasn't going to open it, I turned the knob, opened the door and walked in."What are you doing here?" He asked me. I turned to see him behind me closing the door. " I wanted to come see how you were doing" I bit my lower lips in nervousness. His eyes flickered at the motion before he went back to drinking a glass of scotch. Chugging down the whole thing. He took the bottle and was about to drink from it when I snatched it from his hands." I am fine" he slurred. Am I supposed to believe that when he is drinking this much and there is a visible bag under his eyes?
I don't know what he was about to tell her, but I knew it wasn't going to be good. So as I watched her walk elegantly back to her bed and crossed her leg, my smirk grew wider than before. The place was wide and spacious, there was an open kitchen by the side and two other doors which I assume were the bathroom and closet. The whole walls were painted white and there was no window. " Can I get you something?" She asked. Evan shook his head. I knew she wasn't asking me so I didn't bother to answer. I could feel her glaring at me but instead of exchanging glares, I looked at the room. It was simple and elegant. There was a vase sitting at the side of the room, filled with colourful plastic flowers that were in contrast to the white wall adding to the beauty of the room. There was a beautiful painting on the wall, near the bed. It was a painting of a beautiful woman holding a demon baby in her hands. The baby had furs sprouting out of the skin on his chest hands and face, and its eyes w
Adam came into view with anger contouring his face. He looked at us and everything we had prepared down. He looked back at Jerry and before I could open my mouth to say anything, he grabbed him by the neck. " What the hell are you doing with my mate." He snarled at him. I stood shocked as Jerry started to say something to calm him down but he wasn't having it. Wasn't I the one he was supposed to be angry at? I should be the one he was supposed to strangle, and whip until I was screaming out my apologies. " I said what the hell were you fucking doing with my mate," he asked again. But Jerry couldn't bring out sound as he struggled to take in breath. When I saw how white he was turning I figured out I had to do something or else he was going to kill him." Adam, it is not what it looks like, trust me," I said. I struggled to remove his hand from Jerry's neck. He released his neck and Jerry fell to the ground inhaling hair greedily. His face was white and his neck was red. I dropped my
'Evan, open up' I mindlinked him.I placed Adam's arm around my shoulder and my hand around his waist to help him support his weight even if he assured me he was fine. To other people, it would look like I was the one getting support seeing as he is huge. When the door opened, I could see the warriors all watching us in shock and some in relief as we passed. Evan rushed to the other side of Adam. He was only a few inches shorter than Adam, so it was easier for him than it was for me. 'Are you hurt?' Evan's concerned voice rang in my head.'No' I answered. Adam removed his hands from mine, as Evan put his other hand around his shoulder. The shirt I wore was bloody, but there was nothing I could do about it until I got home. We all walked together back home. The whole place was still quiet and everyone was locked in their house. I felt guilty, even if I knew it wasn't a bad thing to ask questions. When we got home, we both walked him to his room. Evan left after he had assisted him to
"Ok, I will tell you."Bracing myself for whatever he was going to say. I could hear a dramatic music playing in my head."When my father died, Beta Enoch took over the post because I was in a dungeon". He confessed. His eyes stared at my hands that I held together on my lap. Dungeon, why would they put him in a dungeon? What did he do?" What did you do?" I said quietly, uncertain if I wanted to know about it. " I killed my father" I stood up in shock looking at him with wide eyes. My eyes almost fell out of its socket and my jaw was wide open. I wasn't expecting that at all. How? Why?I kept moving backward slowly till my back hit the door. He didn't stop me as I opened the door and ran out, he just watched me. People watched as I ran out of the pack, my brain reeling with many questions. And it was when I ran to the spot where Jerry took me for the first time after a run, that I regretted leaving. My questions weren't going to answer themselves.What could his father have done to
The door to the pack house was opened. The place was filled with people as they did whatever they were doing. The noise of chattering disturbed my sensitive ear. My blood was humming loudly, snapping and cracking, getting the attention of everyone. My wolf demanded acknowledgment and respect and she didn't like that she walked in and nobody gave her that. The whole place was silent for just a minute before chattering began again but this time, it was moderate. A few people scurried past bowing their heads. My wolf smirked.'what a weirdo' I internally said to my wolf. Forgetting I was referring to myself."Hey Alaia," Luke said. He looked back at the people in the room chuckling lightly as he saw the uneasiness of the people, my blood kept humming loudly. It was compelling their attention. " Can you tone it down a little, Alpha" Evan said speaking for the people in the room. Some looked at me in annoyance, because they were involuntarily giving me what I wanted. "That is if I could"
The pack is now busy, bustling with people here and there, as they run to do their daily activities while I run back home. My wolf yipped at Luke as he saw him on his way to the pack house. I saw Amber talking to Larissa in front of a cafe. Of course, bitches will always attract bitches. I shifted in front of the house and walked in.I carried my naked self to my bathroom, not forgetting to put Sabrina's doll in one of the drawers attached to the dressing table. I turned on the shower letting the dirt wash off my body and down the drainage. After a few minutes of just standing in the bathroom, I walked out wrapping a towel around my body. I stood at the dressing table, looking at myself through the half-length mirror, remembering how I was the last time I checked the mirror. I am different now, compared to then; I look healthy, beautiful, and very much younger than my age. My hair was a darker shade of red because of its wetness, my eyes were a light green, and you could see a flicker
" Thanks," I said quietly. I felt guilty for not telling him, I had already seen my mate. We laid back on the grass, watching the sun as it slowly sat at the horizon. It was beautiful, I had always enjoyed it. It wasn't an awkward silence. It was a peaceful and comforting one. I wasn't thinking about anything just looking at the sky."As much as I would have loved to stay here with you, I think we should leave" he sighed and sat up reluctantly. I didn't want to go, but I remembered I never told Adam or Evan where I would be. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "Thanks" I muttered dusting the sand off the shirt that I wore. Instead of going back, I should just meet up with the witches at the border, since I didn't feel like going home now. " Thanks for coming," he said."It's fine. I am glad I came and I enjoyed your company" " So does that mean we could do this some other time?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and a lopsided smile. He looks really cute. I laughed and nodded. "Let'
