“Let me properly introduce myself. I am Wayne Wyatt, son of Warren Wyath, King and Alpha of the royal house of Wyatt. Leader of the pack of the Grey wolfs. The protector of the plane Woede and all its hinterlands. Welcome to your new home, my human mate." Candice was like any other average urban city realtor, who worked and lived for the 10% commission. It was all about the money for her, closing deals, and making huge profits. Then one night, a blind date was set up between her and a mysterious huge investor. Suddenly, she is thrown into a mystical world and becomes a target for unearthly beings who want to capture her for leverage against her mate, Wayne Wyatt who is a werewolf king. Before this, she had no idea that other beings like werewolves existed, that planet Earth had other alternate planes tethered to it. As Luna to her newly found Alpha, she must play the role for a price, if she is to survive this aggressive new world.
View MoreCandice felt awash with satisfaction.It felt good to put smiles on the face of someone.She wished she could gift her more, but the Head of staff would not let it slide. He was in charge of the domestic funds and ran the house on a strict budget, only making adjustments if and when directly instructed by his Lord Alpha. She would definitely gift Everette, Jason, Jordan, and Sally a little token before she said goodbye to them forever."What are you intently thinking about?" Bernice asked."Nothing interesting," Candice murmured as she walked over to join her on the couch. She had donned a simple green dress, dotted with white polka dots."You have been frequently spacing out these days, tell me what's on your mind?""I-I just wish that my life wasn't so complicated. Like this was some sort of dream, I was not in a parallel universe. I would just wake up and everything would be back to normal," her voice was strained, with all the pent-up emotions raging within her."Why would you wan
"I heard a voice," Candice said as she stared at herself in the mirror."You did?" Bernice asked from her position on a couch."What kind of voice?" Everette mused as she put some pins around the dress Candice was wearing.They were having a casual conversation as Candice tried on different dresses. Early that morning, Everette had arrived at her bedroom with over a dozen dresses from the seamstress.Two weeks had already passed by since Bernice and Rojan had returned from the earth plane.The head of staff, at the house had casually informed her that a date for a banquet had been scheduled, and on that day, she would be introduced to society.Yes, you heard that right.She had been informed, notified, and made aware without any consultation from her, that her very own debut to society had been set up.The only prior information she had gotten was when Wayne had taken her to the red chamber in the city center, where she had eavesdropped on their conversation. He had not bothered to di
Zipporah smirked to herself as she descended the stone steps.The assembly had come to a close and they were all free to go. As she walked down the steps that wound around the walls and led to the lower part of the fortress, to the base level of the dungeons. Her lips curved into a wry smile.For a moment there, she thought she had been caught.Thanks to her quick response, she had shifted the blame to the nymphs. Removing herself from close scrutiny. It would have been a catastrophe if he found out she was the supposed thief.A blow to her ego.Howls echoed through this level from different creatures she had captured with the help of Waylon's men and locked up in these dungeons, to use their blood for her dark magic."Silence!" she snapped at them, her voice dripping with malice.The cries immediately ceased.She began to walk from one cell to another, the creatures scurried into the depth of the cell when they saw her glower at them. One cell held a griffin, another held a chimera, a
Sited upon his stone throne was Waylon.Standing before him were his subjects; Zipporah, Drac, and Smeden."You assured me," Waylon murmured as his eyes moved from one body frame to another.He was dressed in royal blue apparel with a red cape attached at the shoulders. Upon his head sat a golden crown embellished with rubies, emerald green and blue sapphire stones. In his hand was a long staff made of bronze with glyph carvings, each knuckle of his finger was adorned with gold rings. He was lounging in his seat with an air of royalty while addressing the trio gathered before his mini-assembly."The sorceress was the one who recommended her," Drac said casting a side glance at Zipporah.Waylon's gaze shifted to Zipporah "Yes, it was you who brought her. You assured me of her outstanding abilities and skill set."Zipporah shrugged "She was indeed a clever, slippery, and resourceful hireling. It's a shame she could not complete her mission.""But Lamias are said to be formidable and fea
"My heart?" he let out a bitter laugh "Far from it, I would not let myself get carried away. I have an end goal; nothing can thwart my plans.""As your beta, I would agree with you to do what's best for your plane and pack. As a friend, I would tell you not to make a mistake you may regret later on," Rojan advised."Regret? What's there to regret about?" he harrumphed."You're clearly falling for her, why do you fight it?" Rojan pointed out."I am not," he countered, then scoffed "What is there to fall for? She acts with no dignity whatsoever. Is it dancing half-naked with a total stranger and allowing him the pleasure of kissing her or striking my face with her fist?""Wait, what?" Rojan did a double take, "She slapped you?"Wayne paused, that had come out involuntarily.Rojan threw his head back and laughed, his booming laughter bouncing off the walls.Wayne put a hand to his temple, why had he let that slip off his tongue? It only showed that he was still clearly pissed at the kiss
Busted!"Rojan you're back," Wayne acknowledged.Rojan was standing a few meters away from him, carrying Bernice on his back. The once vibrant young lady looked passed out and was sleeping soundly on his shoulders."Yes, I am," Rojan replied casting him a mug stare."I was not expecting you guys so soon," he said, feeling a little embarrassed. This was the second time in one evening that Rojan had caught him in compromising positions. Luckily for him, he had donned a robe despite his haste to come to her. What logical explanation could he give if he was caught naked in front of Candice's door? It would have been worse if Bernice was awake, gratefully she was fast asleep."I actually came to talk to her, but changed my mind," he explained as his left ear twitched.Rojan looked at him, his eyes roaming over his physique. Then he nodded, his eyes disbelieving "Okay, if you say so.""What happened, why are you back so soon?" He inquired."This one is wild, immediately we got to a pub. She
Wayne reclined on his side on the bed in his room.He was knackered to a great extent and wanted to fall asleep after the heavy dinner. However, he could not seem to catch a wink of sleep.The past few days had been grueling on his part. The search for her, the pursuit after her captor, the Jubokko tree assault, the battle with the Lamia shapeshifter, the visit to the council of elders, the excruciatingly painful journey into the Hade's lair, the altercation at the mating festival on the misty plane. Lastly and the best part of it all, the return of his beta and second in command, his most trusted associate, his one and only best friend.He should feel at peace that he had overcome all obstacles, retrieved his mate from her captor unharmed. Also, he accomplished the near impossible feat of accessing the tree of life, now the hinterlands would be healed and his plane would be whole again.He should be feeling a sense of satisfaction, yet something gnawed at his conscience. Like there w
The room had grown quiet behind her.Maybe the room wouldn't feel the same without her and he would tell her to stay with them just a bit more.Still nothing.She arrived at the living room, crossed the vast room to the staircase. Her shoulders were stiff and alert, hoping for a call. For his call."Candice."Her head snapped back immediately; someone had called her "Yes," she responded."Rojan and I will be heading into the city, he wants to show me around. Want to join us?"It was Bernice, the one person in the world that actually cared how she felt. It would have been great to hang with them, but she really wanted to rest."I am tired Bernie bear, I prefer to stay in. Have fun," she said and continued up the stairs, all the way to her room.She pushed open the door and shut it behind her as she leaned on it. The walls around her room briefly blurred as her eyes stung with unshed tears. She felt was feeling miserable and she had no idea why.She felt… disappointed.What was going on
The sound of cutleries echoed through the dining hall.Four of them were gathered around a table.Well, the upper end of the table.The length of the table could host twenty-four people at one meal. They had to seat clustered at one end to have a semblance of a gathering. Wayne sat at the head of the table, Rojan flanked him on the right side. She and Bernice occupied the chairs on his left.The chef had cooked up a feast, half of the table was spread heavy with varieties. Her eyes roamed over this bountiful provision and her chest felt heavy, they had more than enough while those over the border, at the outskirts were ravaged with hunger."Why have you stopped eating?" Wayne asked as he shoveled a spoonful of seasoned rice into his mouth, his eyes watching her intently.Candice looked down at her hands, surprised to see that she had dropped her cutlery set."Nothing," she said and picked them up.She tried to eat the vegetable salad on her plate, but her appetite seemed to have varni
21 Wolven Street, 4th Avenue, Nashville Tennessee, USA.Candice took a deep breath, pulling her hair to the side on her left shoulder, she adjusted the helm of her short skirt and smoothed away any wrinkles.Popping a mint-flavored gum into her mouth, she opened the bar door and strolled in. A hefty cloud of cigarette smoke wafted through the air, rushing into her nostrils. She barely kept herself from sneezing. Pinching the bridge of her nose, she scanned the dark room.She scanned the place looking for….“Trust me, Candice, when you see him, you will know. He always stands out in a crowd,” Bernice had said.Shrugging away her thoughts, she squinted through all the smoke, peering at the tables, looking for anyone who might stand out….There!!!At the far end of the wall, there was a huge man, immaculately dressed in an expensive suit that looked to be customized, and perfectly fitted to his body. His looks screamed wealth, taste and class.Even though he was seated, she guessed he wo...
