It's been a long while since I last updated this story 🤦... I feel terrible and I'm sorry 😔. I miss my characters so much and like you, I'm wondering when Liza will launch fully into her world.
Alex’s POVI have never made this mistake and I'm not going to start now. To underestimate Zoe? Don't even dare it.I know she won't back off concerning Tammy -the sick maid. Zoe has been hanging out more with Rita and I'm sure it can't be good.Just yesterday, I discovered Tammy who was gradually relapsing again and that can't be by natural course.She was really looking promising the last time I was there, it's painful she can't write well, this whole thing would have been over by now.“I heard the maid is getting better and you are almost getting to the root of what happened on your wedding day. I knew I could count on you Alex. Make sure you get to the root of this,”Those were Zoe's father's words to me when he summoned me. He must think I'm doing this because I want to know what really happened or because I'm trying to keep up to being an Alpha.But the truth? It's the fact that I'm using this to distract him. I do not trust this man a bit, but I know for sure he isn't really ov
Zoe's POV To say I'm confident in my plan to get rid of that scallywag is an understatement. I'm always proud to boast in my abilities to achieve whatever I want to.I stopped bugging Alex about the nitwit, cos honestly, she's not worth it, rather than stress myself and allow her to mess with my head, I'd mess with her instead.Behold our Alpha,” I teased immediately as Alex came into the living room. He was a bit surprised due to how I've been reacting for a while now. But he shook it off and smiled. And with a whooping smile on my face, I probed him a little, “Where have you been?” I withdrew a bit and stretched my hands to remove imaginary dirt from my shirt. Truth is, I wanted to just touch him and he seemed to like that.“Babe, who asks an Alpha where he's been?” he giggled, “I've been out running errands for your father and being in meetings that are for the betterment of this Pack… so, cut this busy man some slack,”For starters, that is a lie and I know he's been hanging out
Liza's POVIt's been a long week trying to decipher what is really going on. First, I was attacked twice, and now it's Oriel.I wonder how he could have sneaked into the party because everyone at the wedding had to come in using their invitation card. I was so deep in my state of reverie that I didn't notice when Oriel came in. There is so much to think about: the attacks, Leonard, Amma, Artemis. At this point, I'm going to blow up.“Are you still thinking about the attack?” Oriel's hand on my shoulder made me jerk out of my thoughts.” I batted my eyes, trying to compose myself. “What did you say?” I asked. She looked at me with a ‘Are you kidding me right now’ face and then I replayed what she had said.“I thought we promised not to let your Dad or Fiona find out about this, but look at you, you are going to spoil all of that,” she came close and took the empty space by my side.“I know Oriel, but look at what happened. You couldn't find your mate because of that assailant. I'm wor
Annabel Danny’s POVMy ears twitched to the soft moans coming from the room at the end of the long stairs. It’s none of my business right as I have important things to do rather than puck my nose into other people’s affairs. I was going to walk past as I was too excited to try on my long-awaited bridal clothes. It just got delivered and the joy of seeing the dress again was all over me. I was thrilled I was finally tying the knot with the love of my life.It was a white-laced gown flowing extensively behind me. I have seen it at the store and tried it on. But it still feels like I haven’t set my eyes on it.Zoe followed me to the store to pick up the dress and ask the designer for a few alterations. This was to make the dress to my perfect personal taste. Zoe and I aren’t best friends, she’s my step-sister and we never get along. However, these few weeks have been promising since she picked interest in the wedding preparations. She was ready to be part of my big day. I kept walking
“Alex!”The two jolted up in fear, but upon seeing me in sight, they seemed so unfazed, as if I had disrupted their happy moment, while Alex tried so hard to cover up his nakedness.I swallowed so hard that it hurt my throat. My eyes scanned through the room falling on the undies scattered at different angles of the room. The boxers I bought for Alex on his previous birthday stared right back at me amusingly. I looked over at Zoe who was staring daggers laced with venom and disgust. I should do that and not her. But, who am I? This weak daughter of Alpha Danny has never stood up to confront anyone.“Zoe, you were supposed to be my sister,” I scoffed while wiping the little drop of tears on my cheeks.I had always known she was as much trouble as her mother, and I should have known better when she suddenly became very nice and warm-hearted. For the past few weeks, I trusted Zoe, we’ve shared moments that hold so many beautiful memories, shared my thoughts, and my laughter with her, an
“How dare you, Anny?” Dad’s words came with a resounding slap that landed me right on the floor. The train of my dress was now tangled with my toes and I was struggling to free my leg from the cluster of the dress.My gaze went up instantly as I heard a familiar voice that held so much mockery, “Dad, she’s a total shame to this family,” Zoe was standing right in front saying what I couldn’t understand. She should be ashamed and not me, what was she saying then?With all the strength I could garner, I tried standing so I could ask what was going on, but another slap from my father glued me to the ground. “Why are you standing, you criminal?” Second painful slap in a few minutes without the knowledge of what I had done. “Dad, you can’t keep slapping me, what have I done?” I found myself asking amidst sobs.“Why are you pretending Anny? I’ve already informed everyone of your shameless acts. How you have been sleeping around with different male members of the park, including how you were
Leonard’s POVI stood from my seat immediately Alpha Nicholas entered my room. “Leonard, we need to go,” I couldn’t understand the underlying emotion in his voice. I sincerely hoped it was worth the wait and I haven’t lost Elizabeth.Closing the door behind me, I caught up with Alpha Nick on his track. He turned slightly while walking towards the exit “The doctor asked to see us, but I don’t why,” he said as he continued in his tracks.It better be for a good course. Elizabeth lying there for months has caused me many internal damages. Like, I wasn’t ready to let go of the sweetest soul that I have encountered. As if Alpha Nick was reading my mind, he patted my shoulder assuringly.I could see the young girls outside the compound smiling and giggling. I wondered how they would react if they lost Liza. We’ve all waited for her to come back to us very soon, and going into the doctor’s segment of the park commanded a new wave of hope.“Emm… Liza… she’s awake…” I didn’t wait for him to fi
REALITY KICKS INAnnabel Danny’s POVFor the umpteenth time, I shot a glance at myself through the mirror. I can’t believe this is me, no matter the number of times I try to accept my new reality.I look so damn hot! I wore a flowing dress, the fabric swirled around my legs with each graceful step. It was a deep shade of black that stuck to my body like my second skin. A visible deep V cut made the curves of my breasts swell, and its hem fluttered like a whisper with every movement.I grabbed the oxblood bag and slipped on oxblood heels. I double checked my deep shade of burgundy hair that was loosely pinned up, with soft tendrils framing my face. Rubbing the back of my neck as if it’d make me less nervous, I made my way out of the room.The sound of my heels tapping against the polished floor gave me out as everyone shifted their gaze to me. My breath caught in my throat at the number of people that swarmed the pack house.“To the Moon Goddess who decided to return Elizabeth to us!”

Zoe's POVI can't believe Alex could do such a thing on our swearing in ceremony of all days. First, it was our wedding day and now this big event that tells the world I'm a Luna?With a fake smile plastered all over my face, I walked past those miscreants who kept congratulating me, giggling like sl**s. Then I found Rita, “Thank goodness… I was looking for you,” “Are you sure you are looking for me or for your man?” She winked at me and I couldn't help but just relax a bit.“Yeah… I couldn't see you where you were standing and then he was also gone. How would you two decide to bail on me on a day like this?”“Baby girl… I'm sure he went to take care of something important…” She looked like she was keeping some important information from me.“Spill it girl… right this moment, let it out,” she sighed and urged me to come closer, whispering into my ears “I might have seen him go towards the Park's clinic”That information rang a weird bell in my head. Clinic? Why? Who's sick? And then
Leonard's POV I badly wanted to stop him. The pull became stronger the more I tried.“She f******* doesn't have a wolf. Why this insatiable pull?” I winched out of confusion.I haven't seen her since I came to the party. And right now, I have to search for her.I need to be sure whatever is happening is supposed to be. I need to find Oriel. She can help me know the truth. I need her to move past this phase.“Is she with a wolf now? Is our mate bond getting stronger or is it wearing off?”This pull can mean any of the options and I need to find out. That's the only way out of this ordeal.I couldn't talk to Lucil, he wasn't having it easy too. I know how much he has always wanted to reunite with her wolf.If she's back, then I doubt if there's a way out for me. Lucil comes first to me.I started walking up the stairs. I didn't know where I was going, but I just had to.The packed house has been renovated and is now different from how I left it.I held my chest slightly and continued
Leonard's POV Alpha Nicholas is a good friend of my father, saying no to his invitation to his party wouldn't sit well with my parents.If I say I wouldn't make it, no one would force me. But what's there to lose? I have a business to take care of here in Glassland. It was perfect timing, so why not?I looked at the paperwork on my table and sighed. Who goes to a party when having loads of work to do?“Don't be a boring f****! Unwind, relax and chill. It's better than sticking your stuff into that ugly thing,”Lucil drooled after his last word and I couldn't help but shake my head.Far from enjoyment, this party is business for me. I need to meet up with a few people and confirm some of my suspicions.I hibernated my laptop and got out of the suite where I'd been staying for a few days now. The party started hours ago. But yes, what's the fun of getting there early?According to plan, I only have to show up, congratulate Alpha Nicholas and his Luna, present my gift, do my business
Annabel's POV I looked around carefully and the only thing I could see was brightness.Where on earth is this place? I thought in my head.“This is a realm different from the world that you know,” I flinched as the brightness provided an answer to the question running through my head.It just answered my question. A question that I didn't ask. How possible is that?What is this? A brightness that reads the mind? “My child, you have no cause to be alarmed,” and for some unknown reasons, I felt calm, cool and collected.For the first time in a long while I felt like I was in a haven. From the brightness, a being emerged. Her face shone and I couldn't look her straight in the eyes.But far from terror and fear, I felt peace and tranquility. Each of her steps was enshrined in grace.She exuded authority, power and dominance. A thought clipped in my head, whoever I saw in the past isn't the same person in the void.But why? Why must I have encounters with different mystical beings? I k
Annabel's POV Confusion gripped me once I looked to my right and I couldn't find Oriel. Where could she be?With immediate effect, I stood from my seat and started walking down the stairs.I felt drawn to the room on the left before the first staircase. Trusting my instincts, I decided to go in and confirm why I would be drawn.Just then, the event of following my instincts and seeing what I shouldn't see struck me like lightning.I shouldn't repeat my mistake, but here I am torn between writing a different script and repeating the previous one.“It's just a few minutes left to the full moon, you can't possibly allow her to be just anywhere by this time,”I know Oriel is a strong girl, but she still has a lot to learn. I see her like the little sis I never had. Plus, she's a sweet soul. I couldn't love her less.I pushed open the door and to my shock. An unidentified man was on Oriel trying to strangle her with a throw pillow.Her words were muffled which was the reason why I couldn
Annabel's POV I stood in front of the mirror, admiring the icy blue dress that I got from the store a few weeks ago. Dad had announced the date of his wedding with Fiona, and myself and Oriel had gone to get a dress each for the occasion.The dress matched my eyes and went well with my silver-dyed hair. The fabric hugged my curves seamlessly. Oriel's dress was the same as mine, but amber in color. A match for her eyes.“Hurry guys, we are going to be late,” Chris' voice echoed through the door.“Yes sir!” We both replied in unison. Oriel looked fantastic and I wish this event would be more amazing.I've been learning to trust Fiona again. After our last confrontation, she had been trying to make amends and the truth is, her efforts cannot be unnoticed.Chris had pointed out how close we used to be before the whole saga happened and I hope we can one day take off from where we left.“Okay, ladies! It's not your wedding day for Goddess's sake… I'm coming in,”Before we could protest,
