The night was long or so I would describe it, I waited but didn't hear anything from Ramanov, outside I couldn't stay idle without having an idea of what is going on and why the sudden invasion of the intruder.“Where are you from?“ Alpha Ramanov asked as his Omega pinned the man's shoulder to the floor and the man growled.I stood by the door listening and gawking at whatever was going on in the Alpha compartment. The man had grey hair and from the look of it he was wrapped up in the blanket, how could he roam the woods to the cabin naked?“I don't know, I happen to stumble out of a— house—.“ He opened up, stuttering he replied after he saw Alpha Ramanov's eyes glowing in his direction, like a spike, he bend tow his head humbly than before. It was obvious he was kneeling before an Alpha.“Where is that?“ Sitting alert Alpha Ramanov craned his neck ready to hear more from him like a competitor waiting for the outcome.“You have no idea, where you're from, you must have shifted and ran
It was as if my mind had suddenly become clouded with rain as I started in Claire's eyes.“Are you going to stay?“ She asked, “I'm sorry Claire. But he promised to let me go—” I breathed, “besides I came here willingly.“ I added that part sounding firm.I heard her break into a chuckle. “Is he showing you kindness, excessive care, trying to win your trust, have you seen how people around him tremble at his presence, the pack member— have you no clue?“ She said arching her left eyebrow, and I flashed my memories of everything, from the eeriness of his palace.“That's not true.“ I was in denial but the smoke was already gathering. Alpha Ramanov was never a free spirit he made me believe he was, just like the alchemist said, people make you see the image they want to, and at last long, their true nature will dispose of them at your feet, was that what it is, the red flags right from the wood that night to Nancy and to the beta that appeared.“Let's go Lucia—” I retreated my hands from h
We were falling deeper into the unforeseen that lie beyond us, and then I heard whispered different Claire shriek, it was like lightning, a flash came and held out our bodies from hitting the ground with the force we carried. Claire's voice was stable and I was still recovering from the light that made everything blaze but my eyes.“Are we in heaven?” She asked as he rubbed her hands on her body, heaven knows what she was trying to verify.“Heaven will vomit you out if you think you can enter one.” I soar at her rather hard.“I saw a light,” she said, as she was masking her face with a question. “Was that you?” she stepped closer.“ Might be the moon Goddess gave us a second chance.” I tallied as I kicked my legs into motion moving out of the shredded place, there were bones and we kept on stepping on it our way, “Where is this shit?” I asked, waiting for a reply from Claire who seemed to be more alert if our environment than I'm, “It looks like we're in the resident of the exiled
Claire saw that we were engrossed in each other and a smirk forked on her face.“Alright, lover birds, later then.” She said as she returned to the staircase and my eyes followed her for some seconds before I highlighted it back to the moment.“I'm sorry.” I quickly breathed out and he kissed my hair.“I shouldn't have been stupid to fall for his trick, I'm sorry if I hurt you, Lucia.” Alpha Andrea said and I was somehow confused.“What do you mean?” I questioned and he let out a chuckle.“First of all get yourself relaxed, and don't worry about any other thing.” He said reasonably like he knew everything was his fault, could it be, well he was right, my mental and physical health is what matters most right.He lowered his gaze in the pretence of demureness, and I know that face, Andrea's face that I have become used to. He was down to earth. He was straightforward and not fussy and mischievous, not like Ramanov. But he's stubborn to not have talked when he is supposed to.“Evening is
“I'm sorry about that,” I said as I leaned my head on his shoulder, Andrea was a calm man, if he hadn't said what he did to him maybe I would still be in denial.He stood up and strode to his closet, and brought out two jackets of the same colour and I was fazed, keeping composure and waiting on him for his speech.“Lucia, it might sound funny, but this year snow seems to fall earlier than predicted, will you go on a date with me?” He stretched his hands out for the line, where was this guy coming from, he caught me off-guard, was it that he listened to my thought of going out in the night with the person I love to skate with? “This is sudden.” I smiles as my pad fell into his large palms.“Not when I tried to do something nasty without your opinion.”“Wow! See who is talking, I should have my ear cleaned up.” it was so sweet coming back to him, I had felt several in Ramanov's place, but there was no one for me except Andrea.My mate.“you heard me right.” We both chuckled, he carried
“Lucia Danes.” I heard as the sound came out to me, after the old woman used her mantras things had been simpler, I no longer had recurrent dreams and I was feeling some confidence in my bones.Even in poor light from the moon, it was possible to see his skin turned pale as he rested his head on my lap. Beside him, my confidence shrank like a bladder pricked with a knife, I was vulnerable.I walked out of his room on the tip of my toe, locking the door silently so that it doesn't make a noise behind me. Following the sound, it was obvious Lola was the one calling me, I had a disconnection with her while I was away on Ramanov Island of packs who were scared of his balls and menacing rule.I vanished into the gloom while rolling my hands around my chest, I made to move off either to my track or to her place and again I heard her voice again.“Lucia!” if I go back this isn't going to end well.I arrived at the entrance of her cabin, I was also pleased to see no lurking shapes near her hou
I don't know but my leg lifted all my weight into the air as I rushed through to the room, like expected, Garrett was holding a sword to stab and kill my mate.I shouted, “No!!!” And the next thing I lifted and threw Garrett through the window, heaven knows what happened. l as I heard a crackling sound outside. He won't have died right?By the timbre sound of my shout, Andrea had woken up but was too frail to have a glimpse of what happened, the only thing visible to him was the glow in my hazel eyes.“What happened?” He asked and shaken by my impulse I was scared and I went to the window to glimpse at my handwork, Seeing the knife on the floor and Garrett on the floor, he grabbed his cloak, standing behind me, he tapped his hands on my shoulder, somehow it was soft tab meaning I'm grateful before he stepped outside, He clenched his fist.“Seize him, he had played treason against his ruler, against his Alpha as such he would be under captive.” He ordered boldly.During the nights, A
I still looked but he wasn't among them as my mind and eyes twirled.“When last did you see them?” I asked and he let out a chuckle, very unlike Collins, they typical Collins.“Who?” He asked, and I realized he wasn't Collin, as there seems messed up in my train of thoughts.“Keep going Lucia, when last did you see them, just keep moving, move just a little more…” I whispered to myself edging myself on raspy and weak, still I knew I have to keep walking. Shaking with the cold I tried to motivate myself. Suddenly I realized I wasn't going to go far into the woods before they come after me.I heard a rustling sound in the woods, then along the pin needle path I had at my front, the sound of hunters and wolves loud and vicious a growl that rose every hair on my body, this growl was strange yet familiar, I wanted to run but he was too close, What is happening to me? I thought.My wolf had suddenly disappeared and I can't hear her communicating with me, oh God let this be a dream I praye
"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
