His eyes were enraged, almost like his Alpha side was taking control of himself.“That is nonsense!” He swore as he clutched his hand onto the blade that was in his hands, my eyes darted there, 'Woah Woah, easy boy.' Said my wolf as she became terrified of what might happen.There were loud reverential gasp from his men, and Ramanov looked surprised as if he had seen a divine apparition. He stood merely with the scale of scarlet running down his cheeks as I walked towards Andrea, “I'm his luna and I dim not to be apart from my mate,” I said in an authoritative and form voice.“Mate!” Roared Ramanov as he moved to block my path.My cheeks flamed as He rumbled with laughter. “That is none of my concern.” He dragged me out of a fight and handed me over to the Omega that stood by him, “Take her to the chambers.” He commanded, and the scintilla of hope I felt vanished like dust, no Ramanov would not mind if we have consummated beside he was known as the taker. Either willingly or by th
We tiptoed to the door trying to pace our small bodies through, but then he extended his arms again and I immediately clutched my hands to my mouth as a gasp almost whizzed through. And Fiona held her gown high to avoid being stepped on.“I can do this.” I thought to myself and Fiona was already halfway through. Praying to the Goddess to protect her was the only thing I can offer as I closed the door behind me softly and my panicked heart almost calmed, as the man retired his head to the desk.“Old ruble,” I said rolling my eyes.Somewhere in my heart, I knew Lola could have a solution, I just hoped, I sat at alert which was hard before I stood to my feet to watch through the window as the soldiers were searching the barns, and everywhere.Andrea was stuck in the cell, and dehydrated, he winced and some of the inmates tried to help him but he refused, he is an Alpha, a fallen Alpha he had failed his people and the thought of it made him despise himself the more.Ramanov patroled the p
It was hard sleeping as it was hard comprehending what he meant when he said I should harness my powers, the sun didn't hide the time of the day, I grease through the window as saw it setting, it must be seen o'clock I thought, considering the season and the snowfall.Yet I didn't hear from Fiona and it got me worried to the core, as I heard the town bell ring, it has always been there at the square and since I came in no one had drawn to use it before, not even Alpha Andrea, he would send a notice through the fax and everyone would gather, cheerfully, whether it was a good omen or bad one, his rulership gave them security, but today at the tolling sound if the bell no one venture to come out.“Good morning, ma.” I heard the maid greet them as they passed through the hallway. It was Claire and possible a young woman, whose liken I have never seen.I pulled the blanket over my head, in anticipation this was nothing but a dream, dread enough, it was palpable.As I stared after dropping
He could feel the muscles in his body working. “No surprise then, take him back to the cell.” He blurted and the sweat-dampened on my forehead eased a bit, “What was that for.” I quickened my face towards him, hurdled in between was the dagger I threw at Claire as she joined us, 'treacherous bitch.' shouted my wolf. “You can call her anything you wish,” I added a go-ahead.“Do you think, Claire here would betray me for your little romance?” He raised his hands on the curved handle of the chair, the Alpha chair he sat on as he explained himself and mocked our romance.“His mere existence made a threat to my authority, surrounding him with my trusted allies was a perfect solution.” He bragged.“So if you're here today it wasn't just because of me.” I paced around, my legs sullen.“No, Miss Danes, although you prove more fruitful and part of it.” He glanced at the maid who was willing out the barley porridge who sniggered dutifully.“You're a power-starved imbecile.” I threw at him, di
“Make your choice, Lucia.” He said as he held his knife high close to her neck. I slurped down the dreg of my saliva hesitantly as I opened my eyes again, I must be seeing things.I had never seen something so terrifying, he walked towards her, now my eyes snapped to the emblem as I bent on my knees to fetch it from the ground. “Goddess, please don't let anything happen to Fiona,” I whispered.I held my breath as I tried to summon whatever it is that is needed to activate the emblem, I looked through the entrance it was filled with typical werewolves and the monsters whose eyes were glowing, if I should think of escape, what about Fiona? It hits harder and I was about to, my heart hammered in my chest, he was going to kill her unless I do something. I was going to be mauled by the death of my friend and should Collins know he would never forgive me, I supposed I had a fire burning inside, but surely, the chaos was not within my control, not just yet.“You can't kill her right.” I let
It was faint and I was surprised when Lola embraced Ramanov, it was a dream torn and shredded. Fiona exchanged glances with me and I forward it to the Beta that stood beside Lola, was I seeing an asteroid? Ramanov felt accomplished and Lola looked happy. After she pulled from the embrace, Ramanov held her happy cheeks in-between his hands and pulled her gaze directly towards him, his height was six feet tall and Lola was an average woman, her curvy body made her look unnaturally short as Ramanov looked like a giant, an enormous one before her.“Don't you dare play with me, this time around, I promise I won't mind the fact that we're blood, but tear you apart, limb by limb and feed you to my beasts, the Lycans you and Lucia will build for me?” He warned her and retracted his hands from her cheek as she folds her on his, his face squeezed into a like from the hurt she felt on her prickly skin.“I would only allow you to teach her, supposed you stay within the walls.” He said, it was th
“Andrea,” I called out as I ran towards him in the cell, he looked like hell, dust patched all over his body and the only thing I could do was the uncontrollable tears fall off my face. He had used his thumb to wipe it off my face giving me a golden hue of security.“I'm sorry you have to stay like this, I'm trying my possible best to keep you alive,” I said cupping his face that we're bruised onto my palms through the metal frame that separated us. Lola had helped me after pestering her to let me see Andrea, she could have told Ramanov but then, it was our plan to look like enemies before him, else he would suspect what we had in store.“You're so sweet.” He said and let out a bitter chuckle which was exaggerated, and my face hollow as I saw him still laughing tears falling down his lids, as these tears of joy or what? I wondered as I started surprised.“You did mock me before everyone yesterday, didn't you, or we're trying to hide your shameful face by claiming I marked you.” He sta
“We need a larger space for training,” Lola said to Ramanov as he entered the compartment.“The space is big enough, you can shift if you want.” He said nonchalantly as he walked himself to the stairs that lead to the king-sized seat, the Alpha seat.“Overton would give you the space.” He said as he sit his hands on his knees, like a commentator he watched us but Lola was stubborn to insist she must go to her cabin as it was close to the woods.“I demand it, Alpha Ramanov.” She said her lips tight together and her eyes weren't blinking, it meant seriousness. “You should trust me to train her, if not for you but for myself too.” At this rate Ramanov was impressed. Impressed was an understatement, he was allowed by her word and how they spoke with audacity.“Lola, I gave you this task because no one would be any better at it than you. And I expect that aside from your primary motive, mine remains ulterior. ” He let out as he gestured for her to take me out of his sight before he changes
"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
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
