Leo's POV Knowing the danger of such an attack means knowing what grace danger the leader of the Pack would be.I know Derek has a lot of questions plaguing his mind, but that'll come after all of this is sorted out.Once we got to the Red Moon Pack and saw how bad the attack was going, I mind-linked Derek.“Derek, go ahead with the others, I need to go find the Alpha of this pack before it's too late,” I passed a message to him.“Copy. Be careful Leo,” Though my wolf was in full control, I still smirked at how Derek is such a soft-hearted.I haven't been to this Pack before, but I know I'd figure out where the leader might be.I still remember the face of the Alpha when we signed the treaty that we did.It wasn't because it's a big pack and Sky Wings would gain a lot from the alliance. It was out of respect for a dying man's last wish.The former Alpha of this pack was a friend to my father and one day the pack was attacked by rogues when he wasn't around.He came back and had to ju
Whenever there's a fight between different packs that involve their Alphas, such a howl is made when one of them succeeds and wins the fight.I'm sure the wolves outside would be confused, Red Moon Pack members would definitely know within them that the howl didn't come from their Alpha.As for the Avengers? They'd also know the howl isn't from their Alpha. But then the rule stands, such howl means one of them won.I strode behind the stairs and snapped back into my human form. Hind Legs and forelegs metamorphosed into long and sturdy human legs and arms.Fury torso into a well-built chest and six packs. Claws into well-manicured nails.A silent “woah” followed by a mild chuckle left my mouth as I picked up some clothes and put them on.I know we kept our clothes somewhere, but I can't have myself stacked naked in the presence of those strangers, can I?“You don't intend to blind people now, do you?” Lucil commented.The moment I stepped out, Derek rushed in, in his human form. What
The memory of her opening up to me about her past life and the look in her eyes when she was explaining all that happened weakened me.It looked impossible, but I believe some questions can only be answered by the Moon goddess, our goddess of creation.A loud holler left her mouth as she dipped her fingers into Chris' arms.The pain must have been excruciating, I couldn't look at her eyes at that moment.“You did well, I've removed the claws that broke into you,” the nurse addressed her“I'll stitch it up but she needs to get a lot of rest to heal quickly,” the nurse explained. She addressed the explanation to Chris and Derek since I couldn't dare to look in her direction.I was standing beside the Alpha like a health practitioner who knows his job. But alas, I was just an internally injured man standing beside a physically injured man. The nurse sprung to action, and Liza continuously moaned in pain. “That's all for now. She'll be fine, but she needs to rest well like I stated ear
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!”
The memory of her opening up to me about her past life and the look in her eyes when she was explaining all that happened weakened me.It looked impossible, but I believe some questions can only be answered by the Moon goddess, our goddess of creation.A loud holler left her mouth as she dipped her fingers into Chris' arms.The pain must have been excruciating, I couldn't look at her eyes at that moment.“You did well, I've removed the claws that broke into you,” the nurse addressed her“I'll stitch it up but she needs to get a lot of rest to heal quickly,” the nurse explained.

Derek's POVI've heard quite a lot about Chris. He's Liza's close friend and they sometimes act like siblings.But with what I witnessed today, I can say that those lists didn't do justice to how much he cares about her.He didn't even flinch while talking to Leonard. Maybe he was scared within, but he did a good job hiding his fears.He seemed like a cool guy, ‘cos I couldn't help but just smile anytime he tried to pick on me.Leonard on the other hand has refused to let me in on what is going on.I thought we were doing this only for the situation back at home, but after colliding with Liza and her friends, I realized there's more to this.Leo must have found out at some point that this is not just about Tricia and her people.Come to think of it, he asked me to look into the list of the guests that attended Alpha Nicholas' wedding the same day he returned.He didn't go to his own apartment but stayed over at his parents’ house.That f****, he must have been having a good time makin
We all moved in and I held Liza by her shoulder as we walked in.She was shocked and rather than throw tantrums, she chose to act all cool and collected, but I know it's all a font she was putting on.She almost staggered and instantly I held her. With my support, she sat on one of the stools we found in the cave.“Here,” he handed me piled-up documents. I think the right word to use should be 'scrolls.'He must have seen the look on my face, “you might want to share with your ‘team,’ so we can get to business on time,”Why is the emphasis on ‘team,’ isn't that cheap for him to do? I ignored him and handed some copies to others.My face contoured my inquisitiveness to shock to confusion back to shock to anger to frustration to pity to hilarious to shock and back to anger.I've never seen such a thing in my life. What value do you hold that you want to decide someone's fate, life and journey? Are you the Moon goddess?I scoffed in annoyance at the level of stupidity these folks were
Chris' POV For some weird reason that I couldn't fathom, what I felt was different from what I expected.Rather than feel threatened and anxious about getting to where and what we've been looking out for? I felt calm, collected and confident.I shushed everyone and asked that they squat, so we don't alert our targets.I stepped forward in my squatted position and waved my hand for others to follow.The closer we got to the mouth of the cave, the more calm I felt.Am I under a spell or something? I asked to remind myself of the responsibility at hand.As trivial as it might sound, Liza, Oriel and even these two strangers are my responsibility.If anything should happen to them, I'd bear the consequences.Liza and Oriel had left the Pack to this ‘Goddess knows where’ without informing anyone. I am their only alibi.That means I'm screwed if anything should happen to them. But here I am, feeling so confident in what I don't know.And I never heard of anyone who felt so calm rather than
Who would Rita commit suicide for? I wondered.In my weirdest dream, I never imagined that Rita would do such a thing.She had an eye for Alex? That was a first. This was someone I trusted like a sister.I know some would say this is a replay of what transpired between myself and Annabel, but this is different.Rita was such a terrible person. I thought we were a team. Annabel knew I never liked her.And yes, she was too stupid to see all the kindness I was showing was nothing but a script I wrote.She trusted easily. She had the effect coming her way sooner or later. I only helped her reach her destination on time.But right now, I wasn't sure if I should be celebrating the dismissal of Rita or mourning her absence.But for what it's worth, I'm glad no one believed we were on the mission together.If for nothing? Her action -committing suicide just vindicated me.Why commit suicide if she was innocent of the charges as she wanted people to believe?Alex ordered that her corpse be tak
Zoe's POV I watched in total shock and disappointment at the same time.This is who I referred to as a friend. Judging by how she turned the table about her being the mastermind of hurting Tammy sent shivers down my spine.And now, Tammy has been asked to speak and if her story is plausible, that means Rita must have had a hand in what happened on my wedding day.“It turned out it was her,” she pointed toward Rita,” I couldn't believe both my eyes and ears. What was Rita doing in a room my father had banned everyone from entering?“Don't fall for her lies. She's lying. Your Alpha must have promised her something,” she started shedding tears again.I wonder if she filtering the trash coming out of her mouth. Which of the Alpha would promise a maid something to lie about?Alex or my father?“Ohhhh… are you insinuating my father bribed this ‘thing’” pointing at Tammy, “to lie for him? What is his goal? Answer me, you traitor,” I was livid to hear her try to rope my father and Alex int
I gladly hopped on the boat that would sail me to the limelight in the presence of these gullible people gathered.“If you claimed to have given her something to counter the effect of the deadly injection, then how come she's proclaimed dead? Where is she?”Olive flinched at the sound of my yell. I didn't mean to startle her, it was meant for Zoe who stood still beside me.Her feet stuck to the ground like glue. I could feel her vibrating beside me, her only prayer- may Tammy be dead. Not only was she scared, she felt embarrassed. If Tammy is alive? She's done for.The silence that followed from Olive gave her a taste of hope until it was dashed like it was never there,“There she is,” Olive said quietly and Tammy walked towards us.“There's a ghost!” Someone from the crowd shouted.I detest standing these people, but since I can't say it to their face? I'd have to keep playing along.How can someone be so dumb to say, “Here comes the one who had seen the moon goddess and she's back
