CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-28 08:22:18

In the middle of the night, my belly protruded while in bed. The clouds, which were casting a shadow inside, were darker than I could imagine.

I thought about leaving the room, changing my position to ease the pain. It was hitting me deeply in my veins and was moving around my belly.

Suddenly, my eyes kept blinking repeatedly, making the situation more tense. I sighed, fear beating down my shoulders that I found it hard to stand up. It was a pity Angus was still asleep, right beside me.

“Hoohm…” I groaned, holding my belly to order. I didn't want to wake Angus at first, but when the pain got to my navel and I couldn't bear it alone, I jabbed his arms and screamed his name, “Angus!”

“What is it?” Angus blurted, raising his head instantly from the bed.

“My belly hurts!” I grumbled, scraping my foot on the floor to remain stable.

“What could that be?” Angus wondered, returning the yawn that wanted to disturb him. “I don't think there is a very good clinic here. Well, let me call Ro

    In three days, we were out of the hospital. I had to find a better place to stay since I was already with a baby; I and Angus were plus one. The breeze began to blow as fast as noon appeared, inducing sleep from me. I began to shut my eyes little by little, but I couldn't leave my baby, who just wouldn't have a nap but kept disturbing me with cries.I could remember that the nurse who treated me and saw that I was delivered of the baby, gave me her contact. She didn't want to lose touch with me. I picked up my phone. “Hello, miss.” I greeted her. “Hey!” The nurse replied instantly. “Please, who is on this call?” “It's me.” I snapped. “I just left your hospital some days ago. I was delivered of a baby. I was wondering whether it was male or female…” “Oh…” the nurse recalled. “Yes.” I continued, increasing the intensity and height of my voice. “I can't forget what you said, promising to show me some secrets about Arleta that I do not know.”“Ma!” The nurse shot back bluntly, her

    Two years later, I noticed the Arletan wolves suddenly coming out in packs and claiming that any strange families of people would be forced to be under their government. It seemed like I was the only one who took it to observation. I didn't want to disclose it to anyone. Lachie was already a two year old boy, trying to learn how life was in Arleta. Angus had already paid for the construction of a new house to accommodate the three of us. Ever since then, I hadn't felt comfortable. I kept receiving sudden visitations from my ghost mother, and she wouldn't stop appearing to me. The night hurried, drawing dark clouds down and spreading the atmosphere with a gusty wind. There were wolves who had sought to join us and attack Alpha Thane's kingdom and some of them stood outside watching out for the rogues. I raised my head gently. “I'm having a strange premonition, but I can't really tell…” I stuttered to myself, sliding the window aside, very slowly. “I wonder what could happen in the

    Everything could have ended the day my ghost mother came for me, fully prepared. It amazed me to see her appear, while making love with Angus. I was already immersed in Angus's body and my system was driving deep down into him as he fucked me hard, that early morning. It was a snowy day and the atmosphere was cool, cooler than any other day. “Ohh…!” I cried, trying to hold back a reaction to his thrusts. “Angus, do it easily.” “I have to feel it.” Angus revealed, seriously fondling me. “It all belongs to me and only me. Until I am tired today, I won't leave you.” I was feeling the excitement, my nerves rising as a raised heap of sand. I was no longer in the world of worrying about the past, and Angus's turning over me made me feel he erasing my past, like he had promised to do, long agoBut suddenly and unfortunately, as Angus was hitting around the sweetest part between my thighs and I was getting much more aroused, my ghost mother appeared standing right before me. I screamed,

    The morning came with chirping birds whose voices overwhelmed the space, filling the air with cool tunes. The entire compound of the house was silenced by their songs, as enchanting as they were. 9am was ticked speedily on the clock. I saw Angus coming out from the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his shoulders. “Where to?” I asked curiously, not raising my head. I was deep into my phone surfing the internet to know about ghosts and witches. “Mary needs my attention.” Angus replied, wearing his boots and fastening them immediately. “So, you're dressed like a militant.” I added, grinning at him, my eyes rolling all over his dressing and countenance. “Is there any activity like a battle you're going for?* “No.” Angus responded, “I just have to make sure I'm ready anytime Alpha Thane tries to threaten me.” “I wonder why he framed his own death news and even spread it.” I explained, shaking my head with disgust for the Alpha. “I can't stand the aura here alone.” “Lachie will play w

    The atmosphere was tense. It came with the rustle of wolves’ claws, making a noise and sending too much cold indoors. It'd been years the weather had changed this way, even Lachie was accustomed to Arleta.I was already dressed, after shutting all the entrances to the house. Then, Lachie and Angus were by my side, totally armoured, as well. “Give me some minutes, Angus!” Mary exclaimed, dragging Ronan by the hand as they both returned inside together. “It's just for a short while.” “What are you waiting for?” Angus retorted, shocked to hear Mary's request. “Didn't you hear that the Alpha is closer to this place accompanied by rogues?” “We can't leave them.” I said, holding Angus and Lachie by the hands. “Let us wait a little.” “Hmm.” Angus mused, lifting his thumb in uncertainty. “What are they going to do inside anyways?” I wondered, as I held a mug of tea into Lachie's mouth. In a jiffy, the sound of footsteps was heard, stomping the ground and echoing right in the room. Angus

    It dawned on me that the Thane Wrest pack members were no longer satisfied with my existence. I was already known and even considered as possibly the future Luna. Seeing Caelum for advice didn't come to my mind until my ghost mother visited again, appearing more clearly than ever before. I was shocked to a high extent, that I was stiffened. My little Lachie was nowhere to be found, his situation making me feel worse about myself that I started thinking about going to Caelum. If only he could help, I was ready to support him but wouldn't raise a single finger in ovation for Alpha Thane. “Hoohhh…” I breathed heavily, my both hands folded into each other. Months were passing away and disappearing like shreds of paper in the air, accompanied with noises of impending danger and ominous threats. Each night I spent during this time was nothing different from my first years in Arleta, after knowing Angus. I was left alone again to scale through the thick and thin of the horrible situatio

    I never dreamt I could be under Alpha Thane's tutelage. My thought was that I was already free from him, his pack and the threatening rogues he commissioned against me. Days were spent on days and I was almost counting months in Alpha Thane’s territory. I wasn't treated like a Queen, as he always wished to treat me, whenever he had me to himself. Unfortunately for the Alpha, he had concluded that I had no choice but to succumb to his charges and influence. But, I was only feigning submission to him, trying hard to get his tricks and schemes. My heart raced that morning, pounding very loudly that I had to hold my chest tightly. I wanted to avoid falling for him by all means, even though he didn't show me any lustful sign yet. I turned in bed, looking around as my yawn made me think of Lachie, who was always by my side before. My eyes cleared off, and I realised I was in the Thane Wrest pack house. Before I could lift my head to leave the bed, the guard standing at the doorstep rai

    Caelum was instructed to stay with me in the room. I was wounded and seriously injured, since I didn't want to reveal my powers. If it was a rogue who threatened me, I would pounce on such, my abilities being revealed notwithstanding. The time elapsed within a twinkling of an eye and my wounds healed before I could even raise my head. It was getting to the brim, when Alpha Thane wanted to sleep with me, as he kept saying he would devour me, if I didn't concur. My heart was pounding heavily, even though my wounds were all gone. What of the wounds inside? Lachie went missing. Angus wasn't any close to me, neither did he know how to reach me and rescue me from the Thane Wrest pack. Immediately, a thought flickered through my mind, making me sit properly. My eyes crossed Caelum's face straight away, and I turned them away instantly. “Why did you turn your face?” Caelum suddenly asked, ushering me into an unfading amazement. “Why won't I?” I shot back, sighing and rolling my head to p

    Moonlight and clearing reigned, as even now the full energy of the ancient tree coursed through me. Visions were mercifully bright and elegant, telling secrets of our pack's history and destiny. It stirred awe and wonder in me, as my brain tried to process the weight of what I had learned. Deep breath, to chill out the racing thoughts. I clearly knew that I had to share it with Angus and our advisors to let any meaning sink in, but for now, I may just stand in the serene clearing. Suddenly, silence fell apart with the rustling of leaves. Turned alert on high senses, a figure showed from the shadows, eyes sicked upon me with an unnerving intensity. Then close, I was shaken by the shiver that raked my spine again as he took a step closer, facial features still hidden by darkness. "Scream caution. Protect. Our pack."It raised wide hands, preparing to defend, were it needed. Another step forward and I could make out a little of their features - shape of face, general outline of eye

    I lay down softly on the ground and began to look around for the fight. The Thane Wrest pack was powerful, but I was not to be defeated. With one smooth move, I tore into the wolves, closing my fingers around their mouths to rip out their teeth. They howled and snapped as they stumbled backward, trying to shake out the confusion.I attacked quickly, bringing down wolf after wolf. But with each kill, the gnawing sense of caution appeared to grow stronger. I didn't want to kill those wolves. They were forced to fight just as my pack members were. A moment's hesitation was all the Thane Wrest needed to rally.The wolves were breeding practically unlimited. I realised the need to do something fast. "No killing. I wonder why we cannot just settle this fight between us!” The wolves stopped their growls but looked at me with frightened but firm eyes. I knew I had to do something or be swamped.Breathing a little harder, I bound my mind and unleashed a blast of my power. The wolves were knoc

    I stood there tall in front of the Thane Wrest pack. My feet were suspended above the ground, and my voice rang clear through the clearing, being reflected back off the trees. "I am here for peace, with an offer for a treaty that would end the bloodshed between our packs." The tension was palatable, the pack members exchanging casino glances. Some looked away; others looked at me with a blend of curiosity and hostility. I met them unwavering. Then from the throng, a tall figure strode forth. There appeared a frown on Alpha Thane's face and in the process, it widened in rage. "You're nothing but a fool, don't you know?" he shouted at me, spitting on the ground, his tone wrapped with scorn. "How can just walk in here and demand that we sign a treaty?" I grinned; my gaze was fixed on his. "I don't demand Alpha Thane; I propose. I'm willing to negotiate terms." Alpha Thane's face grew even darker. "The only term I'll accept is you becoming mine." I laughed, filling the clearing with

    CHAPTER 76 It was the first day of the full dark moon and I realised it was just counting. The moment meant for the war with strange beasts and we, the wolves had just started. I was seated with Angus, my wolf mate and what he could only do was caress me. "Angus!" I calmed him down, looking at him closely. "Why aren't you concerned about what might suddenly happen?" "When I am horny?" Angus reacted strangely, rolling his tongue lustfully. "I shouldn't be any concerned, my love.” "Angus, this isn't the time for your lustful desires!" I retorted, pushing him away gently. "We have a war to prepare for, lives to protect!" He chuckled, his golden eyes gleaming in the dim light of our den. "And what better way to protect lives than to ensure the continuation of our pack, my Luna?" He reached for me again, but I stood up, my patience wearing thin. "Angus, be serious!" I growled, my wolf instincts rising to the surface. "The dark moon brings out the worst in those creatures. We need

    The following day was sweet, as well. But, I felt no change in my body. My wolf didn't come out of my body. I wondered but the feeling of sleeping with Angus, my husband that night was too sweet. Angus reached me, as if knowing each of my thoughts. "Are you ready for an outing in Arleta. Shall we go to a nearby bar?""Hmm, what of Eric, your friend?" I asked, concerned."No." Angus objected. "He can't be with us, seeing our tools. I will fuck you right there too.""Okay." I replied, firmly agreed to Angus as I kept staring at him. "I want doggy..." I purred, rubbing my body against his, feeling the familiar heat rise within me. He chuckled, a low, rumbling sound that vibrated through my core. "As you wish, my love. But first, let's have a drink, shall we?" He took my hand, his touch sending shivers down my spine. The anticipation was almost unbearable. I knew that tonight, under the Arletan sky, with the taste of alcohol on our lips, we would unleash a passion that would leave us bre

    "I don't see you," I said, my heart pounding in my chest. "This isn't funny, Angus."A low growl reverberated through the air, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. It wasn't Angus's voice, and it definitely wasn't human. The sound seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to locate its source. Panic began to set in, and I spun around, desperately trying to find something familiar in the shifting shadows.Then I saw it. A pair of glowing eyes, burning like embers in the darkness. They were fixed on me, and I felt a primal fear grip me, paralyzing me in place. The growling intensified, and a dark shape began to emerge from the trees. It was large, muscular, and covered in thick fur. Its teeth were bared in a menacing snarl, and its eyes held a wild, predatory gleam. This was no ordinary animal. This was something else entirely. Something terrifying."Angus?" I whispered again, but I already knew it wasn't him. This creature, whatever it was, had taken his pl

    At a nearby restaurant called Klingon bar, where Angus usually visited since we got here, in order to have some fun, and take his mind off worries, he stood and watched around, hoping he would meet Mr. Kenneth, who was his new adviser. As usual, I was around him to ensure he was doing well and nothing bothered him much. I stayed with Sarah, his friend at the bar. It had been two hours, Angus hadn't even heard of the man. Several peeping through his window didn't work, especially when he found out from Sarah that the man had travelled for a tour. Angus yawned. Sarah offered him a chair as usual, but not with any soft drink. He called her, talking to her as if he was joking. "Sarah! Won't you offer me a drink at least? I trust you for the delicious… orange juice." "Hmm…" Sarah returned, her response conveying the same thought as Angus's. "I think we have a small extra here, I'll be back soon." She entered to get one cup for him and arrived so quickly with a straw neatly pierced in i

    It was a snowy day. Nothing happened yet. Suddenly, Angus's voice broke the silence. I was in the study room, overhearing Angus's complaints. "God!" Angus howled, not speaking to anybody, but to himself. "It's high time I found a job in this strange land. Why should everything be unclear?” "Perhaps New Hawkshire wasn't meant for you…" Mr. Cooper retorted, as he appeared suddenly from the dining room. "Oh, you are here, sir…" Angus whimpered, almost bowing. “What's the meaning of that?” "Keep it right there." Mr. Cooper reverted, his mind clearly rejecting Angus's greeting, and angry, because of the words he heard him say earlier. "Are you reporting me to God, or what? Whatever…! Just make sure you secure a job, and shamelessly make your own money, at least for once…" "Money?!" Angus interrupted him, almost rudely. He was getting frustrated and at that particular time, I walked in. "Dad, what's wrong again?" I questioned Mr. Cooper, who played the role of my father due to his w

    Since we found ourselves in another land, we weren't settled yet. What bothered everyone mostly was the war.Angus sighed, waking up to the usually dull atmosphere, his mouth effusing cold breath as of an idle person. He didn't have any work to do, not even a reasonable duty. "Hi, Mr. Cooper!" He greeted the man he called his father-in-law, who had accommodated him in a family house. "Hope you slept well, Angus?" Mr. Cooper returned, closing and opening his eyes intermittently to shake off some dust off his face. "Yes, sir." Angus answered, hoping to escape and go outside to perhaps walk around. He feared Mr. Cooper's threat, especially whenever he was angry and was pointing at him, hurling potent words at him. "Come over…" Mr. Cooper interposed, not letting Angus move a step. "Have you ever seen the person you love today? Let me start from there." "Oh, sincerely…" Angus replied, trying to snub the right response. "But, she hasn't woken up. Lily often wakes up late, these days, s
