"You can't be doing this, Fiona." Lola's voice cuts in but is hit by a stick with a nod from Fiona to the Beta soldier. Alpha Andrea came down staring at her. "You can't leave me for Lucia, she took everything I have ever worked hard for, understand me please..." She shook her head pleadingly and then exploded into bursts of laughter. "You felt that? Pathetic." She said, I pinned her hand to let me go and clutched onto Alpha Andreas' hands. "Please find her, find Moon, I can stand the pressure," I said as she continued with her pulling, she threw me to the floor once again. She rushed towards him and hugged him from behind. He pulled her away and walked himself out. "You can't find her, Andrea, even with your Alpha strength, my Lycans would love to have a taste of your breed, no more are they within these walls." She shouted after him, her voice filled with satisfaction, and Alpha Andrea's face twitched. His fist balling by his side, his eyes shimmering. He moved his steps towards
"Let me go." She said, whimpering."Who's gonna save you now?" One of the boys said, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her into his grasp."Show me you're wolve." He said and they all laughed, she stood there fear gripping her as he shreds her shirt. There came a loud growl before they stood a large monster furred all over."Christ!" They yelled and wanted to run when the monster threw them all over.Her heart calmed, and a bitter smile crinkled her lips. "Collins. I waited for you.""I was delayed by my dad, And I must do so well to keep my promise, here I am, have you hurt anywhere, I wish I could just kill them." He said dragging her out of the mess as they lay on the floor wincing in pain."Hey, I'm grateful at least you left them with broken ribs," she said, parting with him on the shoulder, and they both busted into a peal of loud laughter."Next time scream my name, okay." He said, assuring her, that he'll do well to stand by her."See you later okay." She winked at him as
The city of Vienna is so lousy I came out of the boss that dropped me off at the main street a smirk left my lips as I looked at the city clock, ticking I plunged my hand into my pocket and brought out the only thing I had brought with me aside from the pyjama I wore, the necklace.I plopped myself to stare at the clothes on the display screen, I was in an impossible situation, I hadn't planned for any of this, I wanted to go back, but what about my mental health, thirteen years of servitude, hadn't I tried enough. They had made a mockery of my mom's death and didn't care if I fed or not."Five dollars." I read it out loud. That's quite a penny I couldn't afford at the moment I walked around looking at the dungeon I swirled and turned, 'never settling for less huh.' I said to myself, who cares they can stare all they want, I bumped into a sturdy figured man."Watch your steps girl!" I gave a sharp look at him and squirmed away, I got to the dungeon, fear grilled in my stomach, I took
"Has the treaty been finalised?" He said looking at his beta. They had come in packs and whatever."Absolutely Alpha, the merchants should be here tonight.""But we still have to meet with the sunju pack tonight." He furthered."Alpha, what about her?" He said, directing his gaze at me. My hands were cuffed, like some sort of slave, did my mate just adopt me? "She's with me." He said as he dragged me closer to him, "Stay still," he whispered into my ears, I was in denial, never had I thought werewolves were this plentiful, I was regarded as a lymph and here I am an alpha mate. My stepmom had always told me, ' you're weak and can never be an omega.' "Do you think I won't know you're a wolf?" He whispered again."I'm not a wolf, and neither am I your mate." Whatever brought me to Vienna led me to my ruin, I wanted to let out a loud outcry. Andrea didn't mind me, he just dragged me along with him, he was gentle and I could tell from the way he tended to me."Where are we going?" I a
The sparks of exhilaration in her eyes as I looked at her defeatedly irks me. I didn't care about mate bonds and truth wasn't strong like Claire, but Andrea led me on and it hurt my wolf severely that I was crackling in pain."She was his ex." I wished he had never found me, I was going to wear my heart on a sleeve for him and his Luna, I couldn't respect him out of duty anymore."Ex? As in ex-girlfriend?" I asked, eyes plunging from the cage, it was all coming together, just last night she was friendly and helpful but this morning was quick of her real self, "They were together, she rejected her mate too, I think they suit themselves.""That's an outlaw, how do you people survive here, rejecting each other's mate?" I asked, and she let out a light shrug. The alchemist had told me that a wolf will die if they reject their mates. I wanted to ask more, but Fiona seems to only know little, at least about their tribe. She knew more than I did."Why did you follow him?" She asked, I borro
I walked to the packhouse, and I met Claire, she was staring at me through the transparent curtain that hung around her window. I didn't bother to look at her as seeing her will only spring up to my piled emotions."What were you doing there, at the old womans' ?" He asked and I let out a hiss. Does he care what I do, sucking it up?"What were you doing there too?" I asked back, looking into his eyes questioningly."You're my responsibility and-" he said and I break-in."Yes your responsibility, you shouldn't have adopted me, I was well off till you claim your mate bond and now what?" I said shrugging my hands to my sides and my eyes were swollen from the tears that had fallen off earlier, burning and fuming.Andrea stood there, neglecting my very presence, he had sent his guard putting on his shirt, deceiving me the second time was annoying, I thought he had come to reprimand his steps but instead, he is standing in my front hands in his pocket whilst I look like a wild raccoon."You
Some things are hard no matter how you think you can live with them apart from being born different, I suffered physical abuse, and it's almost everywhere I go."Get up girl, weakness is not an option." His deep voice and my eyes flicked to him before he toppled over. With that he let his gaze linger on for a few moments then he strode me to the floor."That was too fast for a newbie," I said dusting my shirt, he leapt vastly and I couldn't follow the speed, I wonder how he'll be as a wolf, no wonder Andrea choose him as his guard, beta's are always the luckiest one, and I've done but envy them."Look at me." He said sternly and I scrunched my face up in discontent and furry. " this is not a joke." He flares his nostrils subtly smelling.I slide off watching him like hawk, I half expected him to burst at me but he didn't."We're done for today." He said clenching tightly onto the cane in his hands, eyes drifted to the mass that was training."Lucia," he called out. "We all have our we
She is by the sink washing a stack of dirty dishes I plopped closer to her doubting if she could hear my footsteps. "Fiona, I can't believe you do dishes.""A soldier in the day, and-" she said."You surprised me, I came to get water, I couldn't sleep and thirsty too." I cut in friendly."That's the packhouse for you, creepy that sleep wouldn't visit. I felt the same way when I first came here." She said dropping the sponge in her hands and beckoning her elbow to the verge and deluding her eyes."Where has everyone gone, I can't seem to find them?" I asked, biting my lips, this is what I had always done, when I'm trying to get an answer to something."They had gone to practice, maybe even, I heard the traitors' power and influence grew day by day and threatened the Alpha position, it made him worry." She said briskly returning to the plate in her hands."I don't understand you." I was lost in everything she had said forgetting I'm a stranger and as at that knew nothing about the trait
"You can't be doing this, Fiona." Lola's voice cuts in but is hit by a stick with a nod from Fiona to the Beta soldier. Alpha Andrea came down staring at her. "You can't leave me for Lucia, she took everything I have ever worked hard for, understand me please..." She shook her head pleadingly and then exploded into bursts of laughter. "You felt that?

She shouted after him, her voice filled with satisfaction, and Alpha Andrea's face twitched. His fist balling by his side, his eyes shimmering. He moved his steps towards
My head was buried in his shoulder as I cried my pitiful self out. No return or sound from Alpha Andrea, he was in the same dilemma as me. The fact that I have done the same thing again, keeping the truth from him. Hidden the very seed of his from him. It wasn't my fault either, he chose this, the fact that he rejected me and made me look useless as a mate, despite what we shared over his insecurities, the truth he conceived."Aren't I being selfish, that moment with Alpha Andrea inside there and I saw the revelation that no matter how hard I try, the nemesis would crawl its way in." My voice became thick with phlegm as I pushed to the limit of letting the word out."You're right but it's never too late, you protected her from the outside world and that meant you did what is right you protected your child, Alpha Andrea's child." He rubbed my back and assured me."No! I deprived him of the right of becoming a father to his daughter and that was greedy of me.""You ain't think he could
"So Lucia, how is the preparation, I can't wait to attend your nuptials," Fiona said as she dungs her fork into the pastries and rolled some.Her face was shimmering with satisfaction and some feeling of insecurities, she sat like that for a while and said nothing afterwards, her gaze flickered observant of her environment. I can feel my wolf anxiety flooding my head, maybe I shouldn't have let out that I was getting married soon, and to one other than Matt.Not replying to her Matt simply observed the environment and raised the ketchup apples more onto the French fries and Alpha Andrea was observing the atmosphere between us. Matt made it seem real, our little decoy to let them think we were not there otherwise."Oh, I guess you had put a lot of effort into making this." Taking a bite of the chicken, which tasted great, I complimented."Oh is that so? Thanks for the compliment, although it should be directed to Grace, she is such an amazing cook." A grin formed on her face. "And she
The drive through the road got quite eerie, whiffs of creatures were coming through our paths unlike the last time we had left, it was cold and " What is with this strange scent?" I questioned Matt poaching my nose in the air, my eyes teaching around circularly and my hands clenched tight onto the seat.Matt drove as fast as he could to get us out of the eeriness, had the place turned into a slaughterhouse or was it just filled with a bizarre scent."I think the Lycans are still around or maybe there was a fight between rogues." He suggested even thou his theory was not tenable enough. I cleaned my temple, with my hand checking if my eyes were still swollen as I stressed my head into the phone screen."Don't worry, it's not too obvious that you had crude the soul out of yourself.""You sure about that?" I placed it on my lap as I pulled my cascading hair into a doughnut and tired it out neatly."That's not good, so they kill themselves and make sure Lola is safe within the walls of t
Stepping inside I watched him from afar, he was having her dressed up and Lola's eyes were dark red on my path tearing me with her gaze that was a mix of what she felt towards me; pathetic."You're being stubborn again Lucia." She said as I tiptoed, and later cleared my throat, Matt looked at me and didn't say anything but inside he had a hope that I had learnt to accept my true self and do what is right, even when I doubt myself, maybe I should give it a shot."Crying won't bring your friend back, but staying strong and doing all you can to protect what you love would make him proud of you in the land of the spirits." Lola stood up and walked towards the stacked book on the field, somehow the part of the house reminded me of the alchemist's thousands of books, on average he could finish three to four."I know but it's the least I could do, he deserves more than just my tears." "Oh is that so? Your voice is determined,""Yes, my voice is determined because I want to know what killed
I paced myself through the staircase leaving Matt in the room, he wanted to stop me but I was way ahead of him outside. He sighed and returned to the room knowing that Moon got her eyes on him and was hungry he just left me to my emotional damage and tended to her needs, by serving her the food."Lola, it's not true is it?" I questioned standing before her, my eyes widened and reddened from the tears that had pooled out of them the instant Matt handed over the necklace that belonged to Collins, the sharp lights from outside reflecting in the room made me cover my eyes, boggy and swollen, they had a piercing effect sharp like a claw on it that hurt my eyes. Lola peered into my eyes leaving her knitting and letting the fact that we had just had ourselves hurt moments ago slide, she whisked her away from the grand seat, large it was, it looked like a double sitter, but wasn't completely one, maybe it's because it's an old model I couldn't figure the design, tailor-made like, not possibl
I wish I can wake up to a whole new world and I don't have to worry about rogues and some feverish Lunas alike."People are gonna think you're crazy, Lucia." Matt let out as the car came to a stop in front of a mansion, "They would still follow, this isn't a secret place, Matt." I reminded him that the small castle ain't gonna save us. And amidst all in isolation with an Omega that would be in my dreams."Calm down, breath in breath out." He made a motion with his breath and I mimicked him calming my pulsating impulses. "Good, I'm sure you would be safe here Lucia."Just as he was giving me an assurance, the gate creaked open with a long wailing sound, it felt like the old mansion had been put to exile, old rugged and intended to, the water was pulling out neatly and I was petrified, first Alpha Andrea Mansion in the middle of nowhere and now this place, the aura I felt were far from the ordinary. Might be enchanted.How strange…"Are you sure about this place?" I questioned looking
"You're nothing special, why did you have to show up now after all these years?" Fiona questioned, wearing a face that was dung into hate.I sighed in disgust."You shouldn't be asking me that, I thought the crescent pack, as well as the blood moon pack, only have one trajectory, staying hidden among the woods, what brought you to civilization?"She let out an annoying scoff, just when things were about to scuttle up I let out a laugh and embraced her. I might be mad at her but I wouldn't mind avoiding all the chaos possible."What with the sudden hug?" She muttered and I pressed her more.Alpha should know I didn't care more about his kinky affair least to his Luna, I would just be a barking dog without a fang."I am using this medium to apologise for all I have said and wish you a happy married life, old friend." She is already an old friend and nothing more, she stabbed me and lied about herself hiding her true motive, which was my mate.After what felt like hours of silent terror,
"Where are you going?" Alpha Andrea questioned."Probably to get fresh air and tend to some things, the garden got my nose." I let out smirking, he looked down and had his lower part wrapped in between the sheets."Alright, you can go." He said briskly."Who said I couldn't go?" I snapped holding my hand apologetically to my chest."You can't possibly leave me like this," he suggested with a growl.I snickered at him, "maybe next time," I'm sure this won't be the last time he would the same shit.I headed back to my room feeling as though my day had been eventful, I didn't want to be reeking of his scent for long, it would make me want to go over to him and maybe start from where I stopped."Wait did he think I was drunk so that he could make his way, never ready to give up, huh.""Somehow I enjoyed his pressure but you teasing him left him in a lull, not the type of breakfast he sought." My wolf said mockingly, she felt happy we led Andrea on."Oooh," I cooed, reaching to pick one of
