Happy new month to everyone reading this story. We are in six months. That is the other half of the six months before the end of this year. If you are reading this particular chapter that means you have been supporting me throughout my journey. And for that I am grateful. Well, last month I had some crisis so I couldn't continue with the story and even with this month but I will do everything within my power to update when I can.Thanks.*************As usual it was a 2 hours journey before Illebaye and her family finally reached the shadow community precisely at Lycan Cross mansion where his coronation was being held. We are finally here. Tolani said while carrying her pup in her arms. Meanwhile, the others just looked at the building which had as many people going and coming inside as they liked.“ Let's go inside. I am sure the Lycan family must be waiting for us. “ Mr. Ethan Brook said to his family as they all joined the others and stepped inside the mansion. Wow! Mom! Unc
But after some time things changed as the whole room was filled with laughter.Ahh_Ahhh,ahhhhhhhhCome on son, release. I was just joking with you. Lycan said with a smile on his face.Are you sure sir? Neo askedOf course my dear. I love men who go for what they want. That is why my son is the CEO of our company.And now he wants to take over his calling as a Lycan even when am not yet dead and that is because he knows this old man needs some vacation.Thanks so much sir. Neo saidYou are welcome, my son.
Still shocked by what she just heard, Illebaye has no time to ask questions as the Lycan walks towards Uriel and Alpha Pere. I thought you both won't come. Cross's dad said to them. Have you forgotten, he can't miss the Lycan celebration, it's unheard of. Alpha Pere said.I know that, but I am happy you both came to support your Uncle. Cross's dad said.Will you stop pretending as if you care? Pere said to him. Even if you keep denying it. I do care about you and Uriel. And not just me, we all care about you both. Please can someone tell me what is going on here? Illebaye asked, interrupting their family bonding. Don't tell me you don't know yet? Alpha Pere asked in a joking tone. What am I supposed to know? Illebaye asked Don't tell me you don't know that, Your so-called Lycan Cross is my Uncle. Alpha Pere said and it came out like a time bomb in the ears of Illebaye. What rubbish are you saying? How can you guys be related? Illebaye asked, still denying the fact that she jus
When they got inside the room, Illebaye was greeted with the faces of twelve elderly men in white. Immediately, she knew they were the chiefs who wanted to see her just like what Cross told her. Greetings elders. Illebaye said as she bowed down her head as a sign of respect to them. They all just nodded their heads in approval of her greetings. Just as I told you all I have a woman who I want to make my Queen Luna and here she is. Cross said to the chiefs.It seems like Cross news didn't sound well to the ears of those chiefs as they were seen looking from one person to another. But still not saying anything or doing anything. Is there any problem? Cross asked them after seeing the confusion writing all over the chief's faces. Yes, Lycan. If you don't mind, we will like to ask the lady some questions. One of the chiefs said. And from the look of things he was the eldest chief among all of them. When Cross heard what the chief said he turned and looked at Illebaye asking her if s
“How are you related to the Lycan family?” A familiar voice from behind Uriel asked “Knowing the owner of the voice, Uriel didn't bother to turn and look at the person nor answer the question but rather she asked him a different question.”“Why aren't you inside the party room?”“Well, let's say the place was getting boring so I decided to come here to get some fresh air.” Neo answered and you, how are you related to the Lycan family? Neo asked back the question.“Are you sure you want to know why I am here?” Uriel asked Neo as she stared at the sky. “Of course I want to know. If not I won't be asking you the question. Neo answered her.”“Isn't the sky beautiful and peaceful? Uriel asked to change the topic again.” “Seeing that she isn't able to answer his question. Neo decided to go along with her.”“Yeah. They are. And it looks so peaceful. But life itself isn't like that.” Neo answered “You are right. Uriel answered.” And decided to go back inside the party room. I will go ahe
“Uriel! Tolani called out from behind.”“What do you want,Tolani?” Because I don't have time for your ranting right now. I have to go look for Illebaye. She needs me. Uriel said to Tolani“Please serve me that sermon for another day.” Tolani said to her It seems like you have nothing to tell me so if you don't mind I will be going.” Uriel said as she turned around just when she was about to take a step Tolani's statement made her stop.“ How dare you try to walk away from me after kissing my mate? Tolani said to Uriel angrily.Shocked by what Tolani said, Uriel stood at her position quietly, not able to say anything since what Tolani said was true.Why are you quiet now? Don't you have somewhere to go too? Tolani asked Uriel in a mocking tone. Trust me Tolani when I say I didn't mean for it to happen. I am sure you saw things for yourself that it was your mate who kissed me first? Uriel said to Tolani.“Wow!” I love your guests.” You dare stand in front of me and say it was my mate
“Babe, Cross called out?” “But Illebaye ignored him.”“I know you are angry, but please don't end our relationship.” Give me some time to make things right. Cross pleaded. “And how are you going to make the chiefs accept me?” And Alpha Pere do you think he will let us be together? Illebaye asked “Why do you care so much about him? Have you forgotten he rejected you”. Cross said to Illebaye angrily.“I know he rejected me and I don't care about him anymore but that won't stop me or the fact that I have a son for him. Your nephew*.“ What do you think people will say when they hear that I am with you while having a child for your nephew?” Illebaye asked Cross as tears continued to drop down her eyes. “I thought we already talked about this? Cross asked Illebaye”.“Yes we have.” But it won't change the fact that if we continue with the relationship my self respect will be questioned and my dignity will be trampled on.” Illebaye said to Cross.“I know it is so difficult for you to pr
“When Neo walked inside the party room she immediately spotted her mother and Tolani sitting on one table.” “He then remembered what Illebaye told him of wanting to go home”. So he decided to go and tell his parents and inform them but he later changed his mind with the idea that Illebaye and Cross will be able to solve their differences. “So, he walked to the table and sat down while waiting for Illebaye's message or calls.” “Where have you been, son? Neo’s mother asked him.”“I was outside with Illebaye, mom. Neo answered. ““Is anything wrong with her? His mother asked again.” “No mom, she is fine”. “We just went outside to get some fresh air.” Neo said while lying.“Where is she now?” His mother asked again. “She is with Lycan Cross right now and they are both outside.” Cross answered “And just then he received a message from Illebaye and that somehow made him feel relax.” “Your sister just sent me a message saying she will be with Lycan Cross and she will be coming tomorro
As their lips touched again, Neo felt a rush of emotions. He had never stopped loving Uriel, and being with her again felt like a dream come true.But as they kissed, Neo's conscience continued to prick at him. He knew he shouldn't be kissing Uriel, not when she was already mated to Marvin.Yet, he couldn't help himself. He had loved Uriel for so long, and being with her again felt like a homecoming.As they finally broke apart for air, Neo's eyes met Uriel's, and he saw the confusion and uncertainty there."Uriel, I..." Neo started to say, but Uriel's fingers on his lips silenced him."Don't say anything, Neo," Uriel whispered. "Just hold me. I need you right now."Neo's arms wrapped tightly around Uriel again, holding her close as they both struggled to come to terms with their feelings.As they stood there, Neo knew that he had to make a choice. He could either walk away from Uriel and continue living a life without her, or he could take a chance and risk everything to be with her.
Nicole's fingers flew across the screen."Follow her," Nicole typed. "I want to know everything she does."Vanni's response came instantly."Consider it done."Nicole's smile was icy."Father, I need to attend to some pack business," Nicole said, rising from her seat.Alpha Nicolas's eyes narrowed."Very well, Nicole. But remember, our discussion is far from over."Nicole nodded, her mind already focused on Illebaye.As she exited the dining room, the maid approached her."Madam, may I have a word?" the maid asked hesitantly."What is it?" Nicole asked."What would you like for lunch today, madam?" The maid inquired.Nicole thought for a moment."A salad would be fine, thank you.""Yes, madam. I'll see it immediately."After Nicole finished speaking to the maid, she walked to her room and started working on her laptop while constantly glancing at her phone, waiting for Vanni's next message.Sitting on one of the chairs in the park was Illebaye. She had promised her son Ethan to bring

It was a bright morning, and Nicole woke up with a slight headache from the overwhelming tears she shed yesterday. But she didn't let it overcome her as she walked to the mirror, which was placed at the left corner of her room.When she saw her face in the mirror, she let out a loud scream. She couldn't believe the person in the mirror was truly her. Her face was swollen, her hair messed up."This is all that Illebaye's girl's fault," she said to herself, her gaze fixed on her reflection.Nicole's thoughts swirled with anger and resentment. She couldn't believe Alpha Père had moved on so quickly."He replaced me with her," Nicole whispered, her voice trembling. "I won't let her get away with this," Nicole vowed.Just after she finished speaking, she turned around to go clean up, but she was shocked by the mess in her room. Almost everything in her room was broken on the floor, and her room was very scarred.Looking at how things were, she got angry and took her phone from her headboa
Sweetheart, we both know that guy doesn't deserve you. So I will ask you to let go of him. He was not your mate in the first place, Nicole.I let you be with him because of how much you told me you loved him and he loves you too. But right now, I think you should move on with your life. And I, as your father, will support you in anything you want to do. Please, dear. Forget about him.Nicole's face twisted in anguish. "No, Father. I won't let go. I want only Alpha Père. No one else."Her father's expression softened. "Nicole, Alpha Victor of Grand Pack is willing to accept you back as his mate. He's a good man, and he truly cares for you."Nicole's response was immediate and fierce. "No! I don't want Alpha Victor. I want Alpha Père, and I'll get him back."With that, she turned and stormed upstairs to her room, slamming the door shut behind her.Her father stood at the base of the stairs, listening as Nicole's anger unleashed itself in
Uriel sat beside Marvin on the couch, watching him sleep. His peaceful face belied the turmoil that had driven him to drink. She gently brushed a strand of hair from his forehead."What's troubling you, Marvin?" Uriel whispered, her heart aching with concern.As she waited for Marvin to wake up, Uriel's mind wandered to Tolani and Neo. What had happened between them? Why was Marvin hurting so much?Hours passed, and Marvin stirred. His eyes fluttered open, bloodshot and puffy."Uriel?" Marvin mumbled, his voice hoarse."I'm here," Uriel replied softly. "How are you feeling?"Marvin sat up, rubbing his temples. "What happened?""You got drunk at Mox Snack Bar," Uriel said gently. "Marcus helped me bring you home."Marvin's expression darkened. "I remember," he muttered.Uriel handed Marvin a glass of water. "Drink this. We need to talk."Marvin sipped the water, avoiding Uriel's gaze."Marvin, what's going on?" Uriel asked, her voice firm but gentle. "Is it Tolani and Neo?"Marvin's ey
After waiting for a long time but no sign of Marvin, Uriel decided to go outside and look for him. So she rushed to her room to wear something comfortable for her to use and look for her mate. She rushed to the table and took her car keys. But before she could walk out of the house, her phone started ringing.She picked up immediately and found out the caller was her mate, Marvin. But to her surprise, it was someone else who was on the line."Who are you?" Uriel asked."Greetings, Miss, but your husband is here at Mox Snack bar and he's wasted," the person said on the phone."Thanks so much, sir. I will be on my way," Uriel said and ended the call, rushing out of the house with immediate effect."I just pray to the moon goddess he hasn't done anything stupid," Uriel said to herself as she drove her car out of the mansion.As she drove to Mox Snack Bar, Uriel's anxiety grew. What had Marvin done? Had he gotten into trouble? The moon goddess, please protect him.She arrived at the bar,
"What are you doing here?" Neo asked Tolani, his eyes scanning her face."Nothing really," Tolani replied with a shrug. "Just came to visit a friend who came from the Silver Moon Pack and told me she's lounging here."Thanking the moon goddess for helping her out today, Tolani thought to herself."And Pearl?" Neo asked, his brow furrowed. "Why didn't she come with you?""She's with your mom," Tolani said. "Your mom asked me to let her stay with her at home."Neo nodded."And you, what are you doing here?" Tolani asked, trying to sound casual despite the jealousy creeping into her voice. She was scared that her mate, Neo, came here to meet his ex-girlfriend and real mate, Uriel."Why ask?" Neo replied, his expression curious."Well, because you're coming out of a hotel instead of your company," Tolani pointed out.Neo chuckled."I was having some business meetings with a client of mine," he explained.Tolani's eyes narrowed slightly."A client, huh?" she asked, her voice laced with ske
Lycan Cross drifted to sleep, praying to the moon goddess for a day he and Illebaye would finally have the opportunity to love each other.It was a bright morning. Tolani could be seen in the kitchen, preparing a meal for her daughter, Pearl. When her phone started ringing, she walked to where her phone was and picked up the call."Hello," she said to the person on the line."Let's meet at our usual spot," the person said, without even caring to ask how she was doing."I have told you several times, Marvin, I don't want to see you again," Tolani said in a whisper, her voice trembling with anxiety.Marvin's voice turned cold."You think you can just move on with your life, Tolani? After everything we've shared?"Tolani's grip on the phone tightened."Marvin, I've made it clear. I choose Neo. My mate, my love. Leave me alone."Marvin's laughter sent shivers down Tolani's spine."You'll never be happy with him. You'll always come back to me."Tolani's determination grew."Never, Marvin.
