“Kneel properly or leave,” Liam ordered using his aura as an Alpha. “I won’t do this against your will.” He continued. “If you don’t want to, walk out.”“I will.” “You will?”“You will what?” Liam asked him. “I will take the oath.” “Draw your blood,” Liam commanded and watched Kia bite into his hand long and hard enough to get his blood out. Following Liam’s finger, Kia made his blood drop on the place pointed out, and Liam did the same. “I swear to always be loyal to Alpha Liam of the Blood Moon pack as his Beta till eternity,” Kia swore and watched his blood simmer, and soon, both bloods mixed themselves thoroughly, and they were gone. “What?” Liam asked Kia when he looked up at him in question. “Were you thinking I would swear to be loyal to you too?” He asked, the amusement in his voice a bit too loud. “Henceforth, you are bound to me, body, wolf, and soul. You can choose to betray me at your risk.” Alpha Liam said healing himself and making a show of flexing his muscle
“You can leave and enjoy the party to your satisfaction. Any more disruption and you are out.” He said waving them off and urging the acting waiter to pour more wine into his empty glass.“You should stop now; you are drunk,” Kia warned, giving the man a sign to stop pouring his drink.“It seems like you have forgotten your oath just in a few minutes.” Liam threatened glaring at Kia.“Know your place.” He said and reached out his hand, taking the bottle of wine from the waiter.“You rather listen to him, than listen to me?” Liam asked the confused man who had this fright on his face with a stance ever ready to bolt out of his position. “I am sorry Alpha, I…” “Get out!” Liam ordered, the fire in his yellow orbs blazing even more as the man ran out immediately.Taking another stick of cigar, Liam was about to light when a strong perfume hit his nostrils.“Let me do that for you, Alpha Liam.” The coquettish voice said, making him pause his actions and give a frown before looking up at
Withdrawing his already swollen lips from hers with a thin silver line being the only connection between their lips, he looked at the Beta in excessive pain, cutting the thin line of saliva between Harper and him. Gently detaching her body from his, he stood up, keeping her with utmost care on his seat before proceeding to walk towards Kia who was now in a kneeling position.“What just happened?” He asked squatting to Kia’s level.“Did you just try to harm Moon and me?” His smile was daunting and mirthless.“No, NO. She isn’t Moon!” Kia found himself yelling over the sound of music, trying to knock some sense into Liam’s head. “Oh, now you are being unrealistic.” Liam sucked his teeth.“Why didn’t I think of this method before now?” He asked himself as he watched his Beta writhing in pain.“All right, for old time's sake, I will help you.” The words flowed lightly from his lips, and Kia looked at him through the severe pain he was going through.“You can free yourself from this pain
The sun peeked into the room through the curtain and Liam groaned at the splitting headache he felt. His body felt weird, and there was an unfamiliar weight on him; he struggled to open his eyes, but in the process of doing so, he thought his head was going to split into two, so he kept them closed, taking his time to finally open them. First, his right eye, but things were a little blurry; then, his left eye. Looking around his room which was a mess, his brain finally registered that there was something or someone on him. Seeing the familiar brown curly hair on her head, Liam’s heart skipped a bit. ‘Moon?’ was the first thought that came to his head but the connection wasn’t there. Now, his heart was thudding in anticipation and surprise. Who was this person on him? What had he done last night? He struggled to remember. She moved on him, and he realized again with growing alarm that he was naked. NAKED! And she was, too! Now, he was beginning to breathe fast. No, he couldn’t
“Why should I go to see the doctor?” “Why shouldn’t you go to see the doctor!?” Liam responded, giving her a side glance.“Ahhha! Now I know what your problem is Liam.” A playful smile graced her lips and Liam felt repulsed.“Alpha Liam.” He spat at her.“Not to worry, I am on pills.” She walked out slowly her butt swinging this way and that as she stepped out to get her clothes.Liam closed his eyes with his thumb and index finger between his brows. What had he done?She came back naked.“What do you think you are doing?” He growled at her. “Get some clothes on!” Harper tittered in response, sitting down on the edge of the bed with her legs swinging.“How can I get some clothes on when you ripped mine to shreds?” She gave him a knowing look, her smile wide enough to reveal her crooked tooth.How could he have fallen for such? With his hands on his waist, “I will get Kia to bring some clothes for you.”“Why?” She was suddenly defensive.“Why not?” He couldn’t understand her sudden
Lilian didn’t fight back, she just looked back at the fuming Diana with a smirk on her lips.“If you know where this Selene’s forsaken thing is, just give it out and stop this madness!” Kelvin yelled at Lilian noticing the madness in her eyes. “Where. Is. it!?” Diana emphasized every word her teeth not parting even once to give her tongue a breather.She was beginning to lose her strength again; the whites of her eyes were becoming visible. “You are a sucker for good plans,” Lilian said limply, her hands hanging loose by her side.“What?” As if electrocuted, Diana let go of Lilian’s neck and the weak girl fell on her shoulder. “You want to take someone else down, yet you attack your partner at the slightest inconvenience.” Lilian chuckled like she finally had a screw loose in her head. “You?” Diana held Lilian’s shoulder at arm's length. “You could have told me!” “What’s the fun in it?” Lilian whispered back as she wiped the little string of blood on her lips with the back of he
Moon’s POVI had walked into the house after Diana’s threat without any care, I was tired and sick of everything happening. So what if I am the weakest in the pack? So what if my wolf isn’t strong enough to manifest itself? Taking out the leftover steak from where I hid it, I bit into it, and soon, it disappeared right into my tummy, leaving me with an oily hand. They can do their worst, I thought as I washed my hands and climbed to my bed to sleep. Still feeling bits of pain, I stood up from the bed, took off my gown, and raised my pillow to unveil the ointment before applying it around the parts of my body where my hands could reach. It was blissful.When I was done, I closed It, kept it in my wardrobe, dressed back up, and jumped into bed, hoping to catch some sleep, but it didn’t come easy. My mind ran from the thought of Liam, to who it possibly was who left the package at the door. Looking at my blank ceiling for a while, the thought of Aiden drifted into my head. He has al
Lying on the floor with her hand on her chest, Moon struggled to breathe, but Joana was having none of it. Dragging her by her hair, she forced Moon back into a kneeling position. “What did you just say!?” Her eyes were stern and direct. “I – I…”“Speak!” Steve thundered, his eyes were narrowed and dark. “I know where… it is. I will go bring… it.” Moon drew in the air with difficulty, her shoulder slumped; she was having a panic attack. Joana’s right hand extended. Knowing what was coming, Moon closed her eyes in anticipation and as expected, it landed on her left cheek, making her feel a stinging pain and the metallic taste of blood in her lips. Gasps of shock followed.“You unfilial daughter!” Joana yelled, her pointed index fingers shaking at Moon’s face. “Would you ever do one thing right without having to drag our name through the mud?” came her father’s gruff voice. Moon looked up at him, wanting to explain, but he wasn’t even looking at her; his eyes had this faraway loo
Moon opened her eyes to see Victor on his knees with his hand on his open stomach. A gory sight to behold. She looked at her hands soaked with blood and her eyes widened. She wanted to feel fear but she only felt disgust. “I can’t believe I have your disgusting blood on my hands.” That was what she said. Moon almost bit her tongue to stop herself from talking but still talked anyway. She felt afraid yet courageous, she felt alone yet with company. Alpha Victor looked at her but he wasn’t surprised.“I knew this day would come.” He has his hands trying to stop the blood gushing from his belly. “You did? I doubt.” Moon walked closer to him and Liam almost shouted her name to stop her. “I didn’t kill you on purpose.” She sneered at him. “The next time you’d teleport in here again to cause havoc will be your last.”Victor looked at her before smiling, his teeth were bloodied. “I don’t need to. I have seen your future. You’d be worse than me.” “I will never be you.” She spat. “How
Moon POV. My face burned when I heard his words. Alpha Victor, the devil behind my misfortunes. I feel my teeth gritted on their own; I struggle to control my anger, the pains from my past, and the trauma I have been through. What was he doing here? Did he come to get his daughter? Did he come for Liam? “Alpha Victor?” I asked the man who looked up at me from his bent posture and he nodded, coughing in-between. I bit my lips till I tasted blood, the pain and misfortunes riling up my anger even more. I felt powerful; the angrier I felt, my eyes felt hot, my nose itched, my breath harbored, and my entire body trembled. My fingers would have dug into my palms and drawn out blood if I hadn’t bitten them off due to nervousness. “What does he think he is doing here?” I felt my lips tremble. If I looked scary, I don’t know, but I saw everyone shift away from me except Liam, who struggled to stand to his feet and covered my palm with his. “Moon, you have got me.” His voice penetrated
Placing a hand on Moon’s hand, a soft glow enveloped both Moon and Harper, healing them all at once. It was risky but Liam found it more risky if anything happened to Moon. He felt weakened; his shoulders sagged as he groaned but still held on till Moon pulled out and held on to him, but his weight was much on her. Her hands gave way and he fell to the floor. “Liam?”“Alpha?” “Liam!?” The rest called in panic and concern but Alpha Rex only got startled before looking on.“Liam?” She called, wanting to touch his face but Liam held her hand mid-way and shook his head at her. “Don’t.” He shook his head, smiling weakly at her. ***Appearing right in front of the pack house, which had a group of gossiping females, Alpha Victor startled them, and they began to scream at the sudden appearance of a handsome, elderly-looking stranger in their midst. Looking straight into one of their eyes, he manipulated their mind. “Take me to Liam.” Just like a fool, she walked ahead without a stop
“Kia?” Olivia entered the sick bay to see a back full of blood. “Kia!” She called with more urgency as she rushed towards him. He turned to look at her before melting into her trembling arms. “Aunty?” He whimpered. When Olivia’s eyes met Harper’s body on the bed with her uneven breathing she tried to understand what happened. “What is it?” She looked into his eyes. “My Baby.” Kia pushed his lips to the side, his eyes staring into the distance. Olivia disengaged from the hug completely. “The baby is yours!?” She didn’t know if she should be happy at the news or disgusted at the lady who chose to make herself an object of shame. “Yes, but…” Kia stopped to get a hang of himself. “But?” Olivia left him and walked towards Harper. “It is in danger.” “She tried killing it off?” She stared at Harper on the bed and refused to touch her. “She tried killing its father.” Serenity exposed. “What?” Olivia snapped her head towards Kia whose eyes snapped shut, refusing to look anyone in t
“I reject…” “Wait!” Serenity had screamed at him, the painful ripping of her heart was overwhelming. She could not bear to hear him say it all out. “Please don’t.” She found herself pleading. “I can’t do this anymore. We can’t do this.” He said robotically. “Aiden.” She called him, holding onto the sticky bar, not minding the stench and the severity of the situation. “Leave.” Aiden looked away. “I can’t. We are mated.” Serenity found herself saying. “I killed her,” Aiden confessed, putting her off. “What!?” She would admit, she was shocked. He smirked at her shocked expression as if that had been his expectation all along. “Serenity!” Someone called her from the entrance. “Please leave if you are in.” Another ordered. She knew she wasn’t supposed to be there, it was the rule but she didn’t mind violating this rule. “We will come in two minutes, and we request you leave, or else we won’t be responsible for whatever reaction you get.” The head prison guard said this time.
Alpha Rex sat with his shoulders sagged on Olivia’s high bed. He couldn’t and didn’t look at her face, he only listened. “Alpha Victor, he made me a clean slate.” She sniffled, her shoulders shook. She went ahead to recount what happened up until the day she met Liam. “He was a lonely and depressed little boy.” She sniffed again, before blowing her nose into her handkerchief. “He poisoned me. He…he used his abilities on me.” Alpha Rex’s face was in a frown as he stared at the floor. He hadn’t still forgiven Liam for what he did to him years ago; he would have almost died if Victor, his Gamma, hadn’t saved him. But even that was a ploy too. Olivia looked up at her Mate, standing up, she came and sat beside him, putting a hand on his shoulder. “Would you believe me if I told you he didn’t do it because he wanted to?” She asked him. Alpha Rex looked at his long-lost Mate with shaky eyes. “What do you mean?” “Rex.” Olivia sighed. “He would have refused if he didn’t want to do
Kia looked down on the kneeling Harper who held his kneels like her life depended on it. “Please, Kia.” Harper was on her knees, her hands holding his legs tightly. “Is the baby mine or not?” He looked ahead after asking her the question. “Please.” She repeated and he banged his hand on the wall. “That is no answer to my question!” His lips were trembling as he looked at the woman he once loved with every fiber of his being. Harper swallowed; she knew she had no chance with Liam anymore, so she wanted to do anything to get Kia to take her back. Yes, she was pregnant for real, and no, the child wasn’t Liam’s; she just wanted to be the Luna of the pack. But seeing her competitor had an Alpha for a father already put her off track, there was no way in hell she could compete with that. “The baby…” She held her stomach, tears rolling down her eyes. “Yes? What happens to the baby?” He questioned. “The baby, it is…yours.” She whispered the last word. “It is mine?” Kia bit his lower
Serenity walked absentmindedly down the stairs to the underground dungeons. She didn’t know what she was doing; she didn’t know why she was walking down here. Maybe she knew, she just could not stop herself. “Hey, whatcha doing going down in there?” A prison guard held her hand to stop her from advancing. “Let go of me, I need to get something confirmed.” Her voice was cold, she did not bother looking back either. “Haven’t you considered my proposal yet?” He asked, still holding onto her arm. “I won’t repeat myself.” She just added, her eyes looking through the metal bars of the closed dungeon. “See Babes. I like you and would do whatever it is you want, just…” Serenity made a swift turn, hooked her hand under his armpit, locked her legs with his, and within a couple of seconds, he was thrown to the hard floor. “Ooowwfff! What the hell man!” The prison guard was almost in tears as he tried to roll off the floor to get to his feet. “Learn to stay off when told.” Serenity warned
Joana, whose breath almost eluded her ran as fast as she could towards the rogue pack and ended up unconscious by the gate. She was picked up and brought into the Alpha’s court. “What is this?” Alpha Victor, who got down to chain smoking to calm his sudden wrecked nerves, asked, his head pointing towards the now transformed Joana on the floor. “We found her by the gate.” One of the burly-looking men with a long mustache replied, gently kicking Joana on her stomach. “Wake her.” He looked away, smoking off the cigar in her hand. Taking a bottle of water, a tomboyish-looking woman sprinkled it on Joana’s face till her eyes fluttered open. Coughing with her hands flying towards her nose to stop her from inhaling the nauseating smoke, Joana tried to understand her environment. She thought back to what happened before now but her brain went blank. “What brings you to my pack woman?” Alpha Victor’s deep voice asked. Joana straightened up immediately upon hearing Alpha Victor’s voice
