The driver sped greatly into the woods, making the car bump roughly against the harsh terrain. Olive screamed as she hit the door, her head colliding with the glass window. Instantly, she regretted not putting on her seat belt.A strong arm grabbed her and pulled her to himself, locking his huge arms around her.“Wayne, where are they taking us?” Olive asked amidst the bumping of the car. The driver in front was just looking straight ahead, he didn't even move sideways as the car rocked. There was something very off with him.“Only... One way to find out,” Wayne gritted out as the car swerved from hitting a tree. The trees were becoming more closer to themselves and the forest denser. There was no way the car would be able to continue.“Wayne!” Olive screamed as the car screeched to a sudden halt and crashed dangerously into a big tree. Her heart was thumping loudly against her chest as Wayne grabbed hold of her in the car. She had shut her eyes at the impact, and when she slowly open
Olive stared back at the proud face of her mate.“I can't believe I did that,” she replied and pinned her forehead against his chest. He gave a throaty laugh and hugged her to himself.“That is crazy! Fire and Ice,” he exclaimed and kissed her hair.“What happened here?” they heard Jake's voice feet's away. Wayne looked back immediately then sighed.“Wow, you're right on time to save us. Give it up for yourselves!” Wayne stated sarcastically at his men.Jake and Crusoe looked surprised at the damage around, especially the burning car. They went to their Alpha and Luna to help them up.“Goodness, look at you, Luna. You're dusty and there are leaves in your hair,” Jake cited as he picked a dead leaf from atop her hair.“I smell dark power,” Crusoe said as he sniffed the air.“What happened, Alpha? We couldn't get your full message because your voice was very cracky like you were operating on a bad network. We knew something was wrong so we traced your link to this place,” Jake explained
When Olive was fully ready, the beauticians took beautiful videos and photos of her. They were so proud of their handwork and how Olive rocked it like she was born with them all.Wayne too was dressed by their crew but in the dressing room instead. The moment the two were to meet, Shem and Jericho had their cameras ready. The beauticians had packed up and gone by that time.Vanessa and Dolly couldn't help giggling and squealing at the sight of Olive. She was dressed in a red, lacy, beaded dress with a silky detachable train. A slit graced her left thigh and beaded white shoes adorned her feet. Her wavy hair was beautifully done to fall on her shoulders and a beautiful tiara graced her head.Olive was so beautiful, so graceful, so majestic that she was like a queen straight out of a fantasy world.“I bet Wayne's going to be in and outta of his head when he lays eyes on you,” Vanessa squealed as she videoed Olive.“God, I wish I could even be half as beautiful as you, Olive,” Dolly whin
The elevator dinged open at the last floor and they gracefully stepped out. Guards had been waiting there and they quickly surrounded their Alpha and Luna. The party was being held in the receiving hall of the entire castle which was spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people dining and dancing.Shem, Crusoe, Jericho and the ladies were walking a few spaces behind Wayne and Olive, while the guards walked beside them. As they reached the sliding double doors that led to the receiving hall, Crusoe mindlinked the Master of Ceremony that there were there. Almost instantly, the smooth music died down.“Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for has now come. Behold, the newest ruling mates tonight. Alpha and Luna Knight,” the MC announced and the double doors slid away, revealing the dashing mates illuminated under the spotlight.Cheers and clapping erupted in the hall as the mates gracefully stepped out. Olive wore a brilliant smile to accompany her gorgeous godde
Madam Juliette smiled as she pecked Olive on both cheeks.“Mind if I take a picture of you, my dear?” she asked as she brought out her phone. Before Olive could even accept or reject, the woman was already taking selfies of them. So Olive just smiled into the camera. Wayne however stood rigid and watched them. Particularly, he kept eyes on the woman's daughter who was just smiling sheepishly.“Come here my love. Come and take pictures with zhis beauty. Oh, look at her dress. Who designed this? It's almost as elegant as zhe way I design mine.”Wayne gave way as her daughter shuffled over to stand close to Olive. But on a second thought, he shifted back.“I'll like to be in the picture,” Wayne stated with a stern voice. He pulled Olive to his side and causing the woman's daughter to stand beside him instead. Madam Julie took quick snaps as she noticed the change in the Alpha's demeanor. Despite acting carefree, she was terrified of the Big Bad Alpha just like every other werewolf was.“
Dolly gasped as the hot bullet penetrated her chest area. She felt herself falling and her eyes closing. But she fought the unconsciousness. She pried her eyes open, gasping for breath despite the blinding pain. She had never been shot before. Was this bullet silver? It hurt. It hurt so much. Dolly began to cry but she crawled to the other side.‘Help,’ she managed to mindlink to anyone whose connection was open. She was dying. Bleeding through the dress she knew Terry absolutely loved.‘Please help me,’ she cried and her eyes shut down.***“Still no sign of Shem?” Wayne asked in a hallway where he and Crusoe ran into Jake and Terry.“No sign of him. No guards have seen him or the lady. And he's not amongst the guests leaving either,” Jake reported. Wayne took a deep breath and placed his fingers over his forehead. He breathing deeply to calm himself.“Maybe...maybe this is just a prank. It's Shem we're talking about here. He's silly and—”“No, Terry. I feel this. This is real. Where
Vanessa gulped and rubbed her arms as the dreadful chill crept over her. Her brother's eyes turned to a furious red and his hair began to swirl as if they had life again.As much as she acted carefree and mocked her brother even to his face, she was like every other person. Scared to death of the Big Bad Alpha. She knew what her brother could do. Had even seen what her brother could do. And the chicken headed part of her was frightened to death of that side of him.“Alpha...Alpha Knight,” she called and took steps backwards on the floor that had turned to ice. Her wolf wanted to scamper away from her brother's rage.Alpha Knight let out a guttural laugh.“I should come with who?” He asked in a growl, his voice three times deeper than it used to be and his voice was always so deep on a normal day.“I will not be repeating myself. Expect my call in one hour. Either you're ready to meet me with your mate then, or I'll deliver your brother's body in two hours.”The line went dead and Alph
Mufasa gently stroke his short white beard.“Interesting,” he mumbled then scribbled away in his book.“Alpha,” Jericho called to Wayne, begging him to not do anything rashly. This situation would spiral into something else if not treaded well with wisdom.“I'm not taking her, Jericho. I'm not taking Olive to them,” Wayne declared with his teeth bared. Jericho flinched.“Yikes, Alpha. I'm not asking you to. Don't put that rage out on me,” he stated and frowned.Mufasa chuckled while Wayne exhaled and looked at his mate. Olive was still dazed. And scared. Things were going in the wrong direction. How in the world did they get to Shem of all people?“I sensed dark energy in the hall and knew when I saw that lady that it was coming from her. So I asked the guys to keep an eye on her,” Wayne answered her thoughts. Olive furrowed her brows.“What...lady?” she asked.“The one with the talkative mother.”Olive gasped.“What? She? She had the dark energy?”Wayne nodded.“I noticed how she was
