CLAIRE

The sound of my father's voice sent a wave of relief down my spine. His presence always gave me an assurance making me want to do anything and get away with it.

The principal's hold on my arm loosened and I shrugged him off.

"Dad,” I drawled, staring at him with very teary eyes.

"My princess," He sent me a reassuring smile then growled at the principal not minding King Thane.

"What's going on here?" He asked, "I heard rumors of rogues on the school premises."

The principal scratched his head looking confused.

"Rumors sure spread like wildfire," Dane muttered angrily while glaring at me. I rolled my eyes at him in response.

"Let me go," I grumbled trying to free my hand from King Thane's hold.

"If you'd excuse me, King Thane, my child is innocent." My father sent him a look and he slowly let go of my hand.

Turning back to the principal he raised a brow. "I asked a question."

The principal eyes darted around. "We are still investigating what happened," he glanced at me the

    KANE"These rogues sure love the sewers," Zane grunted as we struggled to pass through the muddy waste."It's called a wasteland for a reason, Zane," I replied, trying my best to reduce the amount of talking and increase my pace. "Eww." Zane retched.I shook my head ignoring him.He sure was taking the whole scene a lot better than I imagined. We were on our way to the wastelands and the journey so far hasn't been a smooth one.From having to run up a mountain filled with sharp stones and lots of death traps, a missed step could get one killed, to walking through a land where sewages were deposited, I wondered what next awaited us ahead.My mind wandered to Sierra's bloodied clothes and her unconscious face, her face that had lost its glow and looking so dull made my heart ache painfully.I wanted to see her smile once again, I wished to see her standing and giggling about or even picking up a fight with me. Her smile strengthened me, it gave me the push to carry on."Do you think i

    ZANEI was stunned at Kane's words and did not know how to take his declaration. At first, I wanted to grab him by the neck and shake him till he changed his decision but I thought better, we were still close to the rogue's territory and there was every probability of them catching up with us. "What made you change your mind?" I tried to remain calm and collected. "I mean," I rephrased, "when and why did you change your mind?" I asked.Did he finally discover how charming Sierra was? Or did nearly losing her unlock something in him?"I can't place a finger to it yet but-" A howling sound from a distance interrupting him. The rogues were catching up, and what was worse was that time wasn't on our side, Sierra needed us. The antidote too."Let's save Sierra first" I replied, shoving the conversation under the carpet."Fine, but it won't change my resolve, and I'm not backing down either. She makes me feel things I thought I could never feel. I tried to curb those feelings." Kane said

    SIERRAMy eyes fluttered open making me groan from the sudden bright light in the room. I closed my eyes again trying to get used to the lights in the room.Sudden pain hits me and spreads all around my body making me groan. Memories from earlier flashed through my mind.I shuddered as I recalled the rogues circling me with their tongues dripping saliva as they anticipated their next meal. The triplets had come to my rescue but the rogues were determined to hurt me.Tears dropped from my eyes as the pain became unbearable. Closing my eyes, I heard a ringing sound in my ears while I groaned. My whole body felt as though it was on fire."Sierra, baby can you hear me?" My mother's voice sounded as though she was screaming my name from a distance. I felt her hand touch my cheek and I instantly felt warm."Baby, mama's here." She held my hands tightly to her bosom and I forced my eyes open.They rested on her.She was sitting by my side with a smile on her face while tears dropped from he

    SIERRAFeeling drained, I decided to get up from the bed and walk, hoping it would help calm my racing heart. The window was opened and the evening sun peeked into my room. Feeling exposed, I tugged at the window blinds, pulling them down. They were no longer here but I could still feel their presence in my room making my heart ponder. I stood in front of the mirror staring at myself. My eyes looked sad and almost lifeless, my hair was still packed in a bun but it was rough and resembled a bird nest.My fingers strayed to the spot where I was injured and a panicked voice screamed in my head.Don't look, don't!Ignoring the voice, I stared at the scar left. The wound was gone as well as the bloodstains, but I was left with a permanent reminder of what nearly killed me. Slowly, my fingers trailed along the spot, perhaps hoping to feel the pain that I ought to, but nothing, I was left with a trophy that reminded me of how weak and vulnerable I was.The first tear escaped, and I felt

    THANEMy heart went out to Maya and her daughter, thankfully, the antidote had worked perfectly and she was okay now. As I walked out of my room heading downstairs for a meeting, I overheard Sierra speaking to the boys.Despite our constant warnings whenever she mentioned the ritual, she was still hellbent on going ahead with it, and what was more shocking was that she needed it to be done urgently. I hoped we had more time to convince her not to go on with it. The door was opened so I entered. "Sierra," I called out softly to her, she turned back to stare at me."Thane." Her eyes were red and swollen, she must have been crying hard. "Thank goodness you're here." She smiled but it didn't reach her eyes. "I was just telling the boys that I needed the ritual done as soon as possible if you could please-" "Sierra, take it slow," I said trying to be calm, she was quite determined but it was a very bad decision to make. Her shoulders relaxed a bit."I know how eager you might feel ri

    THANENot wanting to give Erin the satisfaction of being arrogant, I smirked at him trying to hide my anger.I beckoned to the guard standing closest to me, "Bring in the guest." I ordered.Then to Erin, I said, "I can barely understand your grievances," his eyes held a surprise, he wasn't expecting me to say that. "However, you'll have to wait before leaving, it's bad manners to keep a guest waiting." The tone I used demanded no reply.He kept quiet and then went back to his seat fuming. We all waited in silence till we could hear the approaching footsteps of the guard and the guest.The door opened revealing the principal of our children's school.The Alphas gasped. He was the last person everyone was expecting to see in a gathering of Alphas.He walked through the aisle towards my throne-like chair. Then bent down with his knee on the floor in reverence. "My King." Nodding my head at him in acknowledgment of his reverence, I replied, "Rise." I ordered. He scrambled to his feet

    ERINI couldn't believe my eyes, it was Claire, she was holding a black bag ready to hand it over to the man black. A weird feeling of embarrassment curled inside my stomach making me uncomfortable. I defended her and made her the victim while she went behind me to plot an attack on a person. She heard me argue about her innocence and hadn't said a word to me. She was there the whole time while I caused a scene in the Alpha king's home and she was quiet.My fingers shook as I stared at the pictures on the ground, I didn't realize when they fell off my hands."Cat got your tongue now, Erin?" I heard a voice sneer in the room and another person snickered.I willed for the ground to open up and swallow me."How can someone be so shameless and unthoughtful?" Their voices were low but I could hear it loud and clear. "What if our kids were harmed in the process?" "She must have the mind of the devil for her to have such evil thoughts." The old man spat."This wasn't just thoughts, she c

    SIERRA"I won!" I exclaimed, raising both hands. "I used to be so good at this when I was younger." My mother groaned sitting on the marble ground pouting."Now, your very young child is beating you hands down." I grinned at her smiling.She had approached me earlier on my way back to my room, I had every intention of sulking but the eager look in her eyes when she asked me to play made me suck up my protests and follow her. This was our third round and she was failing miserably."C'mon now Sierra, don't get all cocky on me." She grumbled. "One more round, I'll be sure to win this time around." She said picking up the cards. After shuffling and sharing them, the game began."Where do I put this?" She muttered to herself as she tried to find a familiar card. "There you are!" She placed her card and raised her hand."I won!" She got up and did a little victory dance. A pile of cards fell off her dress."No, you didn't!" I raised my hand to cover my mouth."I didn't?" She feigned igno

    SIERRA"What are you doing in my house?"Claire asked me.I raised my brow in question, "What do you mean your house?"I asked in return wondering if Claire had finally gone mad."This mansion now belongs to my father, Alpha Erin."She said smiling as she folded her arms in her bosom proudly."The last I checked, I live here and you know that," I said trying to walk past her. I was tired, hurt, and bruised, I wanted nothing more but to sink inside a warm tub of bath water with roses and lavender soaked in it with my mother standing close to me.Her eyes were fixed on my bloodied head, thankfully, the bite marks had vanished leaving just the cut on my forehead and it was healing gradually."You think I'm kidding, if you don't mind, I can show you the evidence."She said moving an inch so I could take a glimpse inside the house.The inner court was a mess, I could see blood on the ground as though a war had just been fought. I could also perceive it in the air, the smell of fresh blood. My

    SIERRAMy throat ached from screaming too much earlier. The snakes were harmless, but I just had to be quiet in a bid to conceal my presence so they wouldn't notice me. My entire body trembled as they glided around me hissing."Seems you made a bond with them so soon witch!" Beta Orion spat not bothering to look at the red bite marks on my skin. I watched silently as he picked them up, placed them inside a basket, covered the lid then took them out. I heaved a sigh of relief as he left, finally a moment of peace.The cut in my head didn't stop bleeding, I could still feel its warm sensation as it trickled down my head. My eyes landed on a piece of clothing lying a few feet away from me, I tried moving towards it but it was impossible with my hands and legs tied together. I only ended up falling on my side. Pain ran through my entire body at the impact caused by the fall.The door creaked open Beta Orion came in.His eyes stared at me hard, "You moved didn't you?" He asked angrily.I

    ERINI watched as the dagger meant for arrogant Kane sank deep into Thane's chest, and he fell to the ground in pain. The young man knelt by his side as though checking if he was alive. He threw a glance at my way before picking his father up and running into the forest."Thane," I said softly to myself, "you left just as I imagined," I laughed watching as the young man tried to balance the weight of his father as he ran."That stupid child thinks he could stand before me?" I laughed recalling the look on his face when he saw his father was wounded.I called after them, "Keep running, slow down and my dogs would have your legs for breakfast."He could hear me, the wind carried my voice down into the woods. "Thane never considered his weight, he was proud of those muscles, now see him weighing you down." I mocked as I watched Kane slow a little trying to adjust his wounded father in his arms."Should we go after them?" My guard who led the reinforcements asked.I turned to him, and beh

    KANEI stepped into the way, blocking off Erin's attack. Our weapons clashed hard. My eyes landed on Dane running out of the mansion with an unconscious Zane on his back and Maya by his side. Before Erin could notice what was happening, I immediately averted my gaze.Erin needed to be distracted so they could leave and that was my assignment."This fight isn't for little boys." Erin huffed angrily, he moved his foot so discreetly but I was quick to notice, Using one hand to hold his weapon, I blocked his leg with the other hand. In one swift movement, using his leg, I threw him off me.He flew a few metres away from me but his legs were strong so he landed on his feet.My eyes quickly flickered around the mansion, Dane and the others were no longer in sight, they had managed to escape, I heaved a sigh of relief as I turned back to Alpha Erin."Not a move you expected from a little boy huh?" I sent him a mocking smile. For once, I was grateful for the numerous battle classes that Dad h

    KANE"Calm down Kane, let's trust Dad," Dane said trying to calm me down, I couldn't stop pacing about the room."Calm down?" I scoffed in disbelief, "how can you be calm when everything is in chaos?" I asked staring at him."But what can we do other than trust Dad and let him do what he thinks is best," Dane said trying to act reasonably."Yes, there's nothing we can do, but we could have prevented this from happening." I snapped, I knew this wasn't his fault but I couldn't contain my anger, our decision had caused this."How?" He asked, "Just pack up let's leave.""We could have rejected Sierra and none of this could have happened!" I shouted."Look Kane, we decided to accept her and bear the consequences in case you have forgotten." Dane's words stung but I was past caring."I wouldn't have done so if I knew that the consequences were this dire." I covered my face with my hands.I felt Dane's hand on my shoulder, "Relax Kane, everything will be fine.""No," I shook my head, "Everyt

    THANE"King Erin! King Erin!! King Erin!!!" The chants were getting louder as the army drew closer.Maya turned to me with wide eyes, "Isn't this treason? What are we going to do?" She was glancing over her shoulders in fear."Relax Maya." That was the only words I could say. This was purely treason, they had already crowned another person as their king and they were chanting his name.For the look of things, Erin had taken time to carefully plan this. He had reached out to numerous people and had successfully poisoned their minds against me."I will take care of it," I said walking towards the inner rooms with Maya in my arms. "First, we need to get you to somewhere safe.""What about Zane?" She asked."That's where we are going, you'll stay with him while I try to reason with them, hopefully, they will calm down." As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted saying it, a loud crashing sound filled my ears, and one of the rebels had driven straight into my mansion creating a crack

    KANEI closed my eyes as a sharp pain ran up from my thigh and reverberated all through my body making me want to pull my hair out and cry. The pain I felt was not mine, I could tell that it was Sierra's, she was going through a series of pains that it was probably too much for her to handle."Sierra, She's in trouble." I was panting as I managed to walk, and my legs shook as I hurried away from where I stood, we were on our way back home, but I couldn't walk properly because of the pain I was feeling.I turned to Dane, "Can you track her?" I asked groaning. If I was in this much pain, I could only imagine what Sierra could be going through."N… no." He stammered holding his head, "There's this sharp pain in my head." He groaned. "I can't concentrate."I tried to breathe it out, I tried to close my eyes and concentrate on the mate bond trying to locate her but it was impossible, all I could think of was trying to ease the pain that I was feeling.My legs gave way, I flopped down on th

    SIERRA"Get me the hot coals!" Alpha Elvis shouted he was fuming in anger.I trembled at the mention of coals, I knew he would do anything to hurt me, his eyes screamed anger. I knew he wasn't going to hesitate to hurt me with anything he wanted.My eyes flickered to the surroundings, it was empty save from Beta Orion who stood with a large grin on his face, I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that he was enjoying the scene before him."Now look at that," Alpha Elvis turned to Beta Orion with a smile on his face, "She's scared of me." He looked excited as he pointed to me with his index finger.I shook, I wanted nothing more than to enter into the ground and die but Alpha was taking his time, he was careful enough to know that he didn't hit any vital part that would take my life while he was sure enough to hit me so hard that I wanted to die.We were in a room with no door and window safe for a few boxes that lay on the other end of the room. After taking me away from my so-called f

    KANEPure shock was written over Maya's face and My Dad's, they couldn't believe their eyes. Maya's scream pierced through my ears."That's not my child, this was edited." She was panting as she spoke. She turned towards my father holding his face in her palms, "Videos like this can be edited, isn't that right Thane?" She asked with tears pooling her eyes.My Dad nodded, "There's no way Sierra would do such a vile act." He agreed.Alpha Erin laughed, "I know you're in shock that's why you're denying the evidence right before your eyes.""There's no way the video is fake, you can verify its authenticity if you like," Claire said with a grin on her face. I could tell that she was enjoying this as much as her father."This is not true.." Maya shaking her head in denial, "Sierra would never hurt Zane.""Something is wrong somewhere." My Dad agreed nodding his head. My dad's wrinkles deepened as he frowned, the past hour had been so stressful on him that he appeared to have aged more than
