The past iii“We found nothing Alpha.” Beta Stones bowed, his eyes staring hard at the floor. “There must be an evidence.” The Alpha insisted.“I will go alone.” “Of what use is it Alpha?” Stones hated that he had to do this every single time the need came up. Where was Victor? “We brought back her bloodstained dress, the one you confirmed she wore out that day.” “We buried her body, it was already beyond recognition.” “But I still want to see it.” The Alpha insisted. “It’s been months Alpha.” Stones tried to make him see reason with him.“Who would have dug her bones from her shallow grave? Who would have hated us so much to do that, huh?” The Alpha was jumping on his seat while talking to himself. Beta Stones just watched him continue. In his heart, he prayed that the Alpha should lose his touch with reality; only then would he attain the leadership of the pack without a shed of blood. ***Going back to the place he stood some minutes ago, Victor traced the scent of the coup
Diana looked at the confused Aiden before looking at her father’s amused face. Still holding his hands, she looked straight into his eyes, her voice still booming in his head. ‘I will forgive you this once Aiden. Say the damn oath and let’s get out of here.’ Aiden looked back at her; his right eye kept twitching. When he looked at his father’s tensed face, he kept a feeling of joy seeing the anger in his face. “Fine.” He responded to Diana’s voice in his head. “Let’s get out of here.” He continued before moving his shoulders as if to warm them up. “Let the vow be exchanged. Again!” Alpha Victor was having a good time; his crinkled eyes watched the couple, and he could barely hide his teeth. “I, Diana Victor, take you, Aiden Stones, as my Mate, to live and to love till the end of our lives,” Diana repeated, trying her best to give a real smile, her cheeks hurt due to her effort. “Your turn Aiden.” The Alpha looked at him before adding as an afterthought, “Else you are not sure
Liam’s POVShe went limp under me. The pain seemed too much for her to bear, but I could not stop my wolf from keeping me going till I had my release; I felt guilty, but the blood on her neck required immediate attention. I knew I ought not to use my healing ability to speed up the healing so I just stared at her, reaching out for the tissue close to the bed to clean up the blood. Standing up and walking to the corner of my wardrobe, I wore a short before taking out a first aid kit. Attending to her, I made sure the mark was wrapped up nicely and ready to heal properly. She made a little movement, and my body tensed up, expecting to see her open her eyes to look at me, but she didn’t. She kept her eyes closed, but the evidence of the pain in her neck was still there. Carrying her up in my arms, I kick the bathroom door open and place her in the tub before going down to the process of bathing her. ‘Let’s claim her.’ My wolf growled in my head. “That’s enough, we have done enough,
Liam was silent for a while watching them look up at him in anticipation. “You all can leave except Kia.” He said and the guards bowed before finding their way out. “At first, we didn’t understand what was happening back in the courtroom at the Silverstone pack, but it makes sense now,” Steve said and Joana nodded. “You see, your father had never given us the privilege to come in contact with or see you all through our stay in the Silverstone pack.” He continued, his eyes fluctuating between admiration and fear. Thinking deeper about his words, Liam had a gut feeling that he had met Moon as a child; her brown and green eyes would always stand out. “You are the rumored son of Alpha Victor.” They smiled at him, and he felt disgusted. Looking at them more closely, he knew something wasn’t right about them. None of them looked like Moon; he turned to look at Kia, whose eyes were on the couple the entire time. He looked at him too, a crease of worry on his face. “Since you are the
Watching Liam leave the room and make sure it was properly locked, Harper brought out a forged key and opened the door. Walking into the room, she tried to control the jealousy and anger burning fiercely in her heart. So what if she was mated to him? He knew her first? Her plans worked, she smiled at herself as she stopped by the mirror to admire her beauty. She would pin him down with it, and knowing her Alpha, he would be left with no other choice than to allow her to take her right. She refused to look at the lady on his bed on purpose. She had tried denying it, but it was true that he had picked her solely because of her resemblance to her. Humming to herself, she walked towards his wardrobe, her hands running through every piece of clothing in there, the smell of him as strong as ever, and she made sure to take in deep whiffs of him. “Liam?” A weak voice called, and she paused, the blood in her veins getting hot. With a controlled smile, she turned to look at the girl lyin
Moon felt herself break from a box, she saw herself grow out of her shell. She had never been this angry before. She didn't understand where this anger came from. Was this a result of being mated to Liam? Seeing the woman get closer to her with her face etched with concern, Moon felt disgusted, and she shifted away from her hand. "Stay away from me." Moon glared at the middle-aged woman with grey hair. "You don't look okay." The woman insisted. "It shouldn't be any of your business!" Moon shouted.Moon felt different; she felt like she was losing herself to an unknown force. She could not understand this new feeling; this emotion was weird, and it bit into her till she became unrecognizable. Standing up with full force, she swung her hand towards the middle-aged woman who had a great semblance to her, making her shift away from the woman, giving her space to escape. Without looking to see if she hurt the woman or not, Moon ran off, banging the door behind her. She didn't know whe
Harper looked up to see the door open slowly before Moon’s face popped up. She felt tensed but she needed to convince the idiot that she had Liam under the tips of her fingers, so she took the dare and began kneading Liam’s hair.Just as she hoped, he didn’t give much reaction, just tensing up. She watched Moon’s tear-filled eyes with a smirk.“Fuck off.” She mouthed to Moon who sniffed back her tears in return before letting out a sob. ‘Shit!’ Harper thought in her head as she saw Liam’s shoot up before looking in the direction of Moon.“Moon?” He called already by her side. Harper’s eyes blinked severally, wondering how he got himself to her side in the blink of an eye when she remembered that he had abilities. “Moon?” The confused Liam called, reaching out to her slowly, the look in his eyes was pleading but Moon put a distance between them. “I can explain.” Liam found himself saying. Was this the position his father found himself in years ago? He refused to think about or com
Diana bit into Aiden’s neck while still riding him, making him grunt till he relaxed and she shook before falling on top of him.“You are mine now.” She licked his neck, before smiling at his face. Rolling to his side, she didn’t care if he was listening to her or not. “Here is the plan.” She started, her index fingers drawing lazy circles around his nipples. “Before my father, we would pretend to follow his plan but behind him, my orders stand.” She smiled, already imagining herself as the Luna of the rogue pack. Aiden just looked at her, his eyes were empty, void of emotions or personal drive. He wanted nothing but to be left alone but giving himself completely to her, he knew that was a feat he wouldn’t be able to achieve. “Imagine this: I become the Luna of the pack, and you become the Alpha.” Aiden looked at her; he was already bored; he could not see what she was seeing. He just kept massaging the injury on his neck. “You’d have to capture Moon.” She finally said after a
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
