Whatever I wanted doing now is suspended till later today, perhaps in the early hours of the night. I hurry to my dressing room where I take out a pair of black jeans, black top and snickers. I want to go out in smart clothes, I pick up my bag and about to exit to the adjoining room when Sunshine meets me. "Where are you going mom?" He appears panicked, I walk over to him, pat him on the shoulders to calm him. "I'm going no way, I want to pick up something from the police station, my friend is there." Immediately I said this, I shrug my shoulders. My friend is not Chloe, in fact she is the worst enemy I've ever had. Just saying this to calm him down. "I hope you will be back soon mom?""Sure, I wouldn't delay. I have a lot of things to come do, so I'll be back. Don't worry, be a good boy for me. Okay?" He nods his head but with sorrowful eyes, he has never seen me this panicked before. I smile at him to give him a sense of assurance, that nothing is wrong. "Bye mom." He waves at
The rain has totally subsided by now, I look at the time and it's 8:13 PM. Oh, Sunshine must be asleep now! I told him I was returning soon, the soon is not soon as I had expected, because of the rain, I couldn't pick up the speed I would have on the road, the normal speed rather I drove slowly while navigating my way through the heavy rain and water on the road. My journey was a bit delayed. Locking the car, I push the keys into my bag. I'll hang it on the car keys rack and then pass on to Sunshine's room to see how he is doing. He has a good nanny to take care of him but no nanny would ever substitute a mother, a mother is always a mother and nannies have their own place in a kid's life. When I pull the door open, I find him cuddling up with his new gift, the gold chain which is glowing in the dark. I'm amazed. I on the light on the wall, seeing him treat this gift with so much reverence get me amused, he is treating it just as it deserves to be treated though he doesn't know the
Time didn't reach when I arrived at the theater today, I didn't go to Aiden's estate direct, rather asked one of my drivers to take me here. Throughout the night, I had been thinking of Chloe's release even to the point of having no other thought. Then I told myself that this was a distraction, how come I have many things to do, yet I'm not bothered about any one of them but Chloe who if I put my heart to it, I'll surely defeat. For a while, as I have Aiden on my side and rehearsing, it seems Chloe's thoughts would come back once again, I quickly switch it off in my mind to focus on what I'm doing. Everything is set for tomorrow's conference, the decor, facilities and several other things required. Olga did a very wonderful job, making the setting here look glamorous. She and her sisters are here to watch me as I do my final rehearsals before tomorrow. "You got to be focused on what you are doing and not let Chloe disturb you, you can defeat her." Aiden whispers into my ears in the
Aiden pulls me by the wrist, taking me off the stage to the inner room where we sit for a while, I'm exhausted from the rehearsals so I drop heavily on the couch feeling like sleeping. I lie on the couch, sighing in relief. I have to get some rest before the visit. "What time are we going for the visit?" I look at the time on the clock, it's 2:56 PM. There is still enough time on our side, which we will visit and stay for a while before returning home. Not home, I'm going back to my estate with Sunshine while Aiden returns to his estate. "I think you need to rest, for about an hour." "Don't you think an hour is too much?" "Well, if you insist, we can reduce it to thirty minutes. I want you to be perfectly ready for this visit." "Don't you think you should get some rest too, we rehearsed together?" I suggest. Five hours of rehearsals isn't a small time, I know he is exhausted too but he doesn't wants to show it. "Perhaps, I need to get some rest too. But who will take care of Sun
Aiden's POVI got worried as my dad said we wouldn't work out perfectly being Alphas, our packs aren't close that we would talk of merging it and even as at this, I wouldn't agree to this. The moon goddess has destined her through Queen Marabella's inspiration to be Alpha of her pack, so there is nothing that can stop her, I wouldn't dare stop her because of marriage. There are a lot of women that have lost their destiny and goals all in the name of marriage, meanwhile men never give up on their youthful dreams, they still pursue at the expense of their wives, I am determined that I will never let this happen in my world. My wife would fulfill all her potentials after all when she goes for judgment in the afterlife for those who believe in this, she wouldn't be asked if she was married but they will ask her what she did while on earth, as a mate, I'm not supposed to seek my personal interests like other Alphas do but to seek for her dreams to come true and a collective interest. I w
Chelsey's POV Finally, the D-day is here. I wake up as early as 5 AM even when the ceremony is starting by 9 AM prompt. I personally selected four of my maids, the more advanced ones to aid me in this. To me, today is my wedding. The atmosphere and prestige makes it seems like that and I got to prepare myself to the maximum. After showing gratitude for seeing a new day, I jump out of the bed, my maids would take care of arranging it. I head to the bathroom where I brush and shower, my hair is dried as I sit on the convenience chair before the large mirror by one of my maids. This is something I do all by myself but since today is a special day, I'm aided in almost everything."I don't know if I should go to sleep a little bit?" I ask Frances, one of my maids. She shrugs her shoulders in fright, not knowing what to say. Then she raises her face to look at the clock on the world, she shakes her head. "I don't think you should sleep again, you would be late since you will leave by 8 A
TWO WEEKS LATER With the conference gone and assuming my pack as the Alpha being the only important thing left, my mind returns back to Chloe whose brake light I haven't seen, I haven't even seen someone that has seen her, even though we haven't met, I know she is planning evil wherever she is. From that day Aiden told me of how Chloe knocked at his door at night, I have always kept my gun close to me in case of any challenge both at day and night. Today however I didn't keep my gun close to me because I was so exhausted to go get it from the rack. What will happen, nothing will happen. I cuddle with Aiden on the bed, he is half-asleep with his hand draped over my waist. It's night, five minutes past eight. Suddenly my spirit feels dense, the air and I open my eyes immediately to see a figure standing before, I had almost drifted to sleep before now, even at this I was still conscious because I have a sensitive spirit. Since the room is dim, the light has been reduced to the minimu
Bearing with the pain of betrayal from a mate is not as easy as thought, after I left Aiden's house, I vowed never to return. I also decided to take a one-week break alone exploring the cities and parks around, a local holiday. I didn't want to go anyway far just take a tour around those places I have never been before with the hope of meeting Chloe, this time around I make no mistake to go without my gun. The first day I went with Linda, second day I went out with two of my friends from college, Allyson and Bella. I enjoyed every moment I had with them but I think I got to spend some time alone. I want to walk all around these northern part of the Superclaw Pack, a side I haven't visited before. The air blows past my ears and face, the flowers fascinate the calm environment. I sit on the roadside bench admiring the vicinity, the white flowers and unique trees which I haven't found elsewhere before. The thought of Aiden and Chloe flies into my mind, I so much detest being with a ma
"I don't know why I have been so dizzy these days, absolutely not the way I used to feel." I complain as I set breakfast on the table Aiden, Sunshine and myself. "What's wrong mama?" Sunshine seems worried. "Don't worry darling, I'll be fine. Okay?" "Okay," he says reluctantly trying to focus on his food but can't. He then looks up at me to gesture if something is wrong but I shake my head into a no. Then the urge to throw up comes, I hasten off my seat to the sink. Aiden rushes off after me. After my installation, we decided to still live in his pack because of my studies at the university and because of him, so our bond would grow stronger but as well this implied us visiting my own pack to spend some time there with family, so my members would be familiar with them. At other times we would spend months at the estate of the queen which she gifted me. With this decided upon, we have no issue. As for academics, most of the times I opt in for online lectures, being a very busy pe
"I planned with my family to visit Disneyland today, are you coming with me?" Aiden asks me. "Yes sure, I will but why are you visiting there?""My pre-installation tour. I want to take a break and chill out with my family and friends. I invited about ten Alphas to come enjoy with me, I've stayed too long, for years before I have now achieved this, my sisters as well." I can feel what he is feeling. Aiden has been an Auxiliary Alpha and his sisters, Emily and Olga, they have remained in a single place for too long, now they can rise to their true ranks and would be reverred in the world, before they were almost unrecognized. "Why wouldn't I jump into this celebratory tour?" Aiden jumps up, carries me off my feet and whirls around, grinning. "Let's get prepared, a special event is taking place at Disney today, can you guess it?""No, I don't. You know I'm not good at guessing?" "Yes, that's not an issue." By the time he says this, it's already 4 PM. He has bought a new gown for m
At his estate, he postponed the conversation till evening, at night we get into the bed in our undies. He tries to seduce me but I insist until he tells me what he intended to. I wouldn't want him to make a fool of me, upon persistent resistance, he finally let the truth to bare. "Do you know I have over forty percent in making you the prospective Alpha of your pack?" I blush, rolling my eyes. "You contributed?" I chuckle, making mockery of him. "You, that wanted me to be a housewife and…… "No, no, no, I never said that." He protests. "Hmmm," I smirk. This guy can't mean this. "So what are the proofs that the moon goddess actually sent you to me. I need a possible proof." "Ok wait, sometimes you don't always have to judge by the cover." He rises from the bed to the table at the side of this bedroom, he pulls something out which I discover to be a phone. "Come on, why didn't you keep it near, by the bedside table?" "I will," he says with a heavy sigh. "I just feel so tired and c
After the refreshment, I clear my throat signaling the time for announcement. The hall stops dead. They look up at me, with steady eyes. I wink at Queen Marabella, she nods to me, permitting me to announce the results. "Yes, finally the time is here and I'm going to announce the results." Being a sensitive wolf, I can hear their heart pumping hard, I see the tension on their faces, then I smile to myself. "Like I said to myself, don't be dismayed if you are not chosen for any of these two positions. It doesn't signifies you are bad or I love the people I choose more than you, it's just that there is something, a quality I've seen in them which no one else has and which is best for these positions."I heave a sigh of relief. "My chosen Beta is Albert Sharon and my Gamma is Elsbeth Clinton." An applause erupts from the audience, there is a howl of surprise as well. I'm aware that there are disappointed, it's just normal. Since I have nothing else to say to them, I stand up with Queen M
When I arrived back home in my estate, we celebrated with a banquet and popped champagne, only my parents knew this, others I told them I just won a lottery together with my friend, Christian. Not even Sunshine knows we are substitute lovers. I personally ask Christian not to make it obvious that we are lovers. Christian leaves in the evening because I don't want him to make it obvious that something is going on between us. At my normal bedtime, I retire to bed hoping to get a pleasant night rest but a call cuts me off my expectation. I peer into the screen and it's Aiden. Him again? I growl. He switches from voice call to video call. I didn't want to answer but my wolf asks me to, I sense it still has a soft spot for him. When the call eventually goes through, I put on a serious face, I wouldn't want to appear any simple to him. "Why are you snubbing me. I saw your coronation ceremony, I felt so pained that I didn't that I didn't attend it." "Why would I invite you, you don't wa
The celebration is finally over after two days and I'm set to return to my estate in the Superclaw Pack. When I said my goodbyes to her, she didn't accept because she was coming with me to the Snow Moon Pack. There was going to be an inspection from which she would have the International Pack Authority instruct Alpha Henry to start preparing for his departure. Initially, I thought it would just be him being warned to pack his belongings with his family because he would soon be stripped of that position, same with his wife. When I heard of the departure and that it means banishment, I was dumbfounded. "So he's gonna become a rogue?" I asked the queen. "Yes, his whole family as well. That's what the International shifter law stipulates as punishment, you well know he is guilty of inappropriate acquisition of power and maltreatment of the right heiress on the grounds that she is a female and to him, female can't take the administration of a pack. I'm a women's right activist and I'll
We arrive at the Royal Palace in Copenhagen. The Queen is at the entrance with other high-ranking members of the royal family to welcome me. I courtesy before her, my parents follow suite. Just left with a bit and she would abandon me to share niceties with my parents, she was a little amazed at hearing they see alive, now she can see them with her real eyes and touch them. "My daughter," she calls boldly. "Your coronation is taking place in the next three hours, you got some rehearsals to do before then." "Where did you fast-paced everything mom?" I have decided to go with mom for her, mama for Rex's mom who is my first foster mother and mummy for my real mother to balance the equation. She smiles. "You know why I did all this instead of giving you a very long time to prepare?" I shake my head. "Good, I want you to be prepared each time you are called upon to do something. As an Alpha, which will take place after this, you will be called upon to look into certain problems and cha
At night, at around 10 AM, I receive an alert from Aiden that he can't sleep and is coming to meet me over a very important issue. I tried to ask what is it but he didn't reply, he just said he is coming, since I have an important event to attend tomorrow, early in the morning, I asked him not to spend much of my time. I need to be asleep before 11:30 PM latest so I can consume sufficient hours of sleep and be best prepared for tomorrow. Few minutes after I dropped my phone, I heard a knock on my door. "Come in!"Wow, so fast? He walks in with a serious impression on his face, I sit up, puzzled on what his intention is. "Hey, why did you come at this odd hour?" "It's something really important I need to talk to you." "Come on, say what you've got to say. I have no time to waste." He tightens his face as I say this. "You are always bent on doing things the way that suits you, not minding how others feel." "Come on, what do you mean?" My eyes narrow and my lips twitch, I stare at
The main thing I brought my parents to see Aiden was to show themselves to him, to disgrace his plan although I know it was Chloe that made him do this. Now this is done, I take them back to the car. "Take us to my estate." I tell the driver. "Okay ma'am.""Don't kill us baby," mom utters. "You have an estate?" "Yes, I do." I say with pride. "Who…. I mean did you buy it. What business did you venture into while we were absent?" "I didn't really venture into some sort of huge business, all I have was given to me by someone, the Queen of Denmark, Queen Marabella." "What?" She exclaims. "I can't believe this." "Dad, you should because it is true. A lot happened while you left, guess what?" "What?" Their hearts pump as they await to hear what I'm going to say. I smile. "I have a son, he is five years old and his name is Sunshine. You are gonna meet him where we are going." "Oh my God, I'm so so amazed to hear this darling, that means we have a grandchild?" "Yay yah. Aiden impr
