Hello esteemed readers, I hope you vote and comment, please support my workđź’•đź’•
I waited for her, sitting reluctantly on the couch ideally the whole day doing nothing special, the old woman's gaze darted from me, and I peeked at her.The similarity was bready all over, it was only her turn-up nose and her arched brow that differentiated her from Ramanov, the wrinkles did somehow conceal their similarities starting closer it was obvious they were blood-related. My mouth couldn't hide the question that was boiling inside of me."You sure look like him, Ramanov." I finally opened up breaking the serenity lurking in her small cabin from the least of her floor to the stack of herbs that hung by the wall, who even uses herbs these days, the world has catapulted into modern science, and it looked like she wanted to keep the legacy of the best herbalist in history one day."Never mention that girl." Her grey lashes encouraged to my side with a tone that pierced like an arrow, she warned.No two ears were to hear she was the tyrant mother, and I understood her reasons, I
"I don't think you're welcome to do as you like." She said and her voice snapped him out then he turned his leg and walked towards the woman eyes glaring with aggressiveness. My heart that raced cooed a bit."Plotting against me, huh." He held her cheek between the pad of his thumb and index finger tightly."Have some respect, Ramanov." She managed to push the statement out of her teeth as they were clenched together."Lola, Respect? You have always failed, you should stay neutral and watch, getting involved will only ruin you." He said clenching her cheeks tightly and the woman glared into his eyes averting her gaze he poked his nose.Lola... So that was her name, she has such a beautiful name and I was surprised at the way he treated her, a piece of trash. No wonder she wanted to keep the truth locked away, they no longer treated themselves as families again, he was too wayward and ruthless for her discipline.It was a beauty to have lived long, but at times it can turn to pain and
Chapter thirty-twoAlpha Ramanov offered me his courtesy, I was still fidgeting, it was a choice I was forced to make, and yet the most important thing at the forefront of my head was still the debate on whether I should follow him. I took a step towards him and cliched my hands to his, I knew I was being insane."Promise you won't–"I didn't finish my sentence as he instantly pecked a kiss on my cheeks, I became red like tomatoes. All I could do was watch mutely.I didn't mind what he had going through his head but I wanted to forget Andrea, not make him jealous, that is if I wasn't just a fling, but I didn't know why I was been like this just a night ago I wanted to rid my self if him, I wanted to be just like a fling and now he treated me like one, I'm burning deep, it was an if he just slammed a door at my face.I knew I was nothing more than a valuable stock that would be traded the moment an opportunity arrives, I had surrendered to that long ago, nothing lies for me, nothing go
I woke up to Romanov piercing eyes staring at me from the desk where he sat ad if I've got sludge in my eyes, was I muttering something in my sleep?''What are you going here?" I raised a question feeling the startle in my bones.“You're staying in my room there's no need to be startled.“ He said gallantly with a smirk on his face as he moved and continued what he was doing.“In your room?“ I asked, the room was too luxurious and too dark like his personality, I wasn't wrong to assume it was porché. Wrapping the blanket tightly around my chest, as his intimidating gaze lingered on and on, “I'm not comfortable and convenient with— staying in your room.“ I let out rolling my eyes.And he chuckled again, will he ever stop being cunning and be serious for once, “you will get used to it soon, believe me.“ he chuckled again before returning to the book that lauds flat before him.“I will have them deliver lunch to you, while you recuperate your broken heart.“ He said as he dropped the ink i
It was a beautiful stroll through Ramanov's pack alongside with him, he never mention the name of his pack or anything and I wasn't too intuitive either, he was the kind of man, I couldn't describe, he brings the truth to you in concession rather than not talking at all.“What is your pack called?"“Hmmm…lets call it Ramanov pack or— " and I chuckled, his sense of humour was like painkiller and I felt its impact, he was way too good to be called evil or maybe bad people weren't just bad over night."Tell me, what happened to her?" My eyes went into heat as they collided with his.He said thoughtfully, and slowly he walked towards the railings of the building and rested his back against it. He was hot and handsome and his eyes pierced towards the garden, how come he didn't age, could he be a vampire, that was the odd thing the aura around him is very intimidating and it makes thoughts skip your mind, but if he chooses to lure those Luna it wasn't their fault, he was handsome humorous a
“That was quite insane,” muttered my wolf. Ramanov wrapped his arm around me holding my waist and dragged me out of the cage. It was the third time one of the creatures had reached out to me, and I couldn't scrabble the blocks together, it was either he was creating them or helping them. But from his side of the story, he was a scientist that tried to probe into their cell degeneration and did his best to cure the mutation. “It called out to me.“ I told Ramanov and he let out a chuckle, “That is not possible.“ He concluded as he ran his gaze through my elbow to see whether I was injured and if there is a scratch. “You should get that treated, once we're in the pack house.“ He said and his eyes were marred by indifference. “I'm fine.“ I said, if not for the beautiful emerald gown I was wearing that got stained, and the little stutter, trying to gain my feet and my breath to equilibrium, I was fine. “ I want to apologise, maybe I shouldn't have brought you here.“ He said, but the
I followed the voice to the square of the cabins confused as it came to a stop, I started to wonder whether I was sleepwalking when I hitched to enter back to the house, a hand dragged me, and thank whoever it was held my mouth. If not I would have screamed my voice out.“So you're the one.“ I heard the voice from behind me, then turned to face a familiar face in the cloak, it was Nancy when I least expected it.“I need you to follow me.“ She said as she held my hand, following her blindly I was surprised as to how did she pull the crank, similar to the old woman, or was she just one of the mysterious people I have met?“We're here, I think we will be safe.“ She looked around hastily and dropped her hood from her head before strolling toward me. “You heard me?“ she perked in anticipation.“I heard you, why do you ask?““Did you also hear them?“ She asked again and I couldn't picture why she was asking.“Who? The beasts?“ It was as if someone knows what I was going through, and that pe
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
"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
