VALERIE'S POV Well, we can't tell for now. Everything is so cloudy. We will still find out" I was beginning to understand some things. But we really need to find the killer. We waited to know the next line of action. "Maybe I should visit Ralph and ask him if any journalist visited him" Dad said. "Honey, please call him on the phone instead of going there. There are so many ways to rope people in their dirty games. This could be one of it" I agreed with what mom said. We need to take precautions regardless of the person. Dad picked up his phone and called him. Ralph made it clear that nobody came to his house. He also warned Dad to be careful. "You see what I told you. That journalist is a suspect" I said. "I think we all need to be vigilant tonight. I sense a lot of danger" This is not a joke. For some nights now, I have not slept well. I am already feeling sick and tired of all these dramas. "Why can't this be happening in the daytime?" "Have you not heard that
Mr Ralph has been so busy, giving his family less attention just because he wants to win. Even after losing the only child he never cared. I know that the reason was, when he wins he will deal with everyone and I am sure my father will not be left out in this. "Grandma will be coming to spend some time with us" Dad announced "Wow, I miss grandma so much. When is she coming,Dad?" "I haven't thought of the exact day that will be convenient. I will send someone to help me get her since we don't have a car again" I remembered how we lost our car, it was at the start of those sleepless nights but now, it's all in the past now. The day for the oath taking came.During the time of swearing in to the new position as an Alpha, it was a big ceremony. We had a lot of presenters. I was glowing in my new clothes and shoes. That day was all about us. My father was to be crowned the new Alpha. His status changed from just being Derek to Alpha Derek of the panther's pack. What was I say
She was helped into the car and the driver sped off immediately. Dad had to pretend that all was fine so that the guests wouldn't start pointing fingers. The ceremony had come to an end. Mom called me into dad's room to ask me what happened earlier at Mr Ralph's house. "Mom, I don't want to say this in the absence of dad. I will wait so that he can hear what I encountered" "Valerie, you are beginning to get me scared. Maybe I have to tell your dad to come inside" "No Mum! Allow him to finish attending to the few guests that are around" I told her. Mom left the room. Why couldn't she wait? This information I am about to tell them is really heartbreaking. She won't be able to attend to anyone again. I went up to my room and locked the door so that mom would not disturb me about it again. I heard a knock on my door, who could that be? I opened the door and it was mom. "Your father wants to see you" I quickly arranged myself and went down the stairs. Everyone had already
"Don't say that. How are you sure that some of them have food to eat at home? You just can't tell". Mum said "Honey, I don't understand this your leadership duty. If your power is all about charity, then we need to get people that will be cooking" "Or we employ their wives to be cooking, at least they will be taking some home to their family" "Exactly my daughter. Your father doesn't understand the stress I go through all the time. And after that, he will still expect me to perform my duties as a wife" I understood where mom was going but I couldn't give a reply on that. "Why are you people feeling bitter?" Dad asked "Bitter? Dad, we are not bitter but I can't allow my mom to be going through the same stress everyday" "Really, that will be nice if you take over from her. I am not employing anybody. If no one can handle the kitchen, then leave it. It's not by force" I was not happy that dad wasn't showing concern towards us. At least for the sake of Mom. Why was he takin
"Mom! Mom!" My mom rushed out to know why I was calling her and saw my dad lying helpless. She collected the water from me and started pouring it on him. I was shaking him and begging him to stand up. We called the doctor on the phone and in less than twenty minutes, he arrived. "What exactly happened to him?" "He just came from the pack meeting, he was looking tired. I went into the kitchen to get water for him, when I came out I saw him like this" I said with tears filling my eyes. "OK, why is his clothes wet?" "Doctor, we poured the water to revive him," my mom replied. The doctor had to check him, removed his shirt and placed him on the sofa. The doctor checked his breathing. "He is breathing well. I think he was overstressed. His blood pressure is high" The doctor gave him some treatment and told us to allow him to rest so that he would recover. "Are you going?" "Yes, I have done what is needed. If there is any other thing, don't fail to call me" My mom sat
"The Panther's Pack can't do it alone because we don't know their plan and the specific day for the war was not mentioned. Delay can be very dangerous. They can come at anytime, if they give us more time, we will make out solutions, so it is better that we start planning immediately" "So, I had to send letters to three different packs soliciting for their help. I got their reply immediately that they will be sensing some warriors to us by today in the evening" "They will camp here. They will share the work among themselves. We can't be sleeping and waiting for the right time to wake up to responsibility. I signed an agreement with them to settle them immediately after the war" My dad and I became so speechless that my mom could do such a brave thing. Now I know why she said if the Alpha can't work, Luna can do it. "You have really shown to me that you are the true Luna of an Alpha. This thing you did never occurred to me at all. I think that was the reason why I slumped becaus
We all woke completely from sleep. Those enemies are here. You see, if mom didn't act fast, they would have caught up with us. "How did you know?" Dad asked"The warrior from your pack just alerted all of us. We received an alarm which indicates that they are around" "Have they entered the pack?" "Not yet, they are very close" "Good! Hope everyone is on alert now?" "Yes, to the best of our knowledge. Everybody has taken their position" "Interesting! Every family should work hard too and make sure they survive. The battle should not be left alone in the hands of the warriors" Dad said"Valerie, you will stay in the room while we do the remaining work" Mom said"Never! I can't allow my parents to risk their lives while I sleep. I was in the rightful position when one of them came into the house and was killed. So why will I be sleeping now they are coming in large number" "It's okay girl, just play safe" "Get me my phone," Dad said and I rushed to get the phone. He dialed a num
Oh my! What the hell is this? His blood was flowing slow and steady like water. This is what I don't like to see,Blood!. How come he was killed? The windows were not broken, so how did the magic happen? I tried to shake him up but one of the warriors signaled that I should leave him and lie flat to avoid such happening again. The war was so terrible that most warriors lost their lives. Out of the four warriors in our house only one person survived. I missed the other three that died. My parents were alive, even though mom sustained a little injury. The whole of the day was threatened. But finally, we were victorious. Dad was pained that most warriors died in this attack but that was what they signed for. That night, the whole pack was calm and quiet like a graveyard. We just took some snacks and went to bed. It was the next day that the dead bodies were taken out of the pack. "I think it's time we send the warriors back to their packs. The battle is over" Mom said "Yes,
VALERIE'S POV"What? You mean it is fake? How come?""Chelsea, do not pretend that you are not aware of the fake result""Ezra, why would you say a thing like that? I don't know what you are saying""Doctor, please go ahead""It is a false result because I was asked to do so""Who asked you to give us a false result?""Ezra, is that necessary? You have known of the false result, now just take a drastic action. You are delaying everything""Beta, don't rush me. Allow me to do whatever I want. Please continue"Everywhere was becoming tense. I knew I was right when I suspected these two friends. I only wonder what Ezra will do. "I was paid""By who?""Valerie is not pregnant, she only has a little change due to weather. I am sorry for the mistake""You have not yet answered my question""Chelsea and Beta paid me to fake the pregnancy result when they realized that she was not pregnant" "That's a big fat lie. What do you mean by "we paid you?" "There is no need to pretend, we have been
VALERIE'S POVMy heart stopped beating but I was wondering what the hidden truth could be. What is Ezra trying to do? I sat upright on my bed and supported my back with the pillow. "Valerie, you don't need to stress yourself. Just relax on your bed. Everyone can hear me"What does he mean by I should relax? I am only interested to know the hidden truth he is talking about. Chelsea raised her hand, it seems she has a question to ask. "Chelsea, you have something to say?""I have a question to ask""Alright, ask""Ezra, you talked about a hidden truth. We are waiting to hear what you are about to say. Please go ahead"Exactly what was going on in my mind. Was he thinking of what to say or how to start? I know that everyone was asking themselves the same questions. I looked at Jason, his face was also filled with confusion. Ezra made us feel like something was wrong. Is there something that was done in secret that we don't know about? Maybe he just made the statement to scare us. The
VALERIE'S POVI just wondered what the outcome will be, now that the doctor is around. My heart was seriously beating faster. Someone who was close to me would be able to hear the sound of my heartbeat.The only thing that made me scared was if the doctor came back with the two friends. I was actually waiting to see the doctor and also to see the two people I called friends. But when the doctor arrived I couldn't see Beta and Chelsea.Does that mean they have gone? I felt a little bit relieved. "So doctor, can you tell us what the result says?"The doctor opened a little envelope and brought out the results and gave it to Ezra. He collected the result paper and opened it, but he couldn't understand what was written."Doctor, can you please explain this. I am seeing a plus sign. What does it mean?""It means she is pregnant and there's no need to doubt it because from your reports about what you saw you told me that she was throwing up""Yes, I said so""From all indication, it shows
VALERIE'S POVWhat are these people saying? Why is Beta talking about pregnancy? And why will the doctor allow them to follow him? Something is really fishy between the doctor and these two people. I don't understand at all. "Valerie, what Beta is saying, is it true? He is here to claim the pregnancy""What pregnancy are you talking about? Have I been confirmed pregnant? That is what you should ask yourself. What is all this drama all about? Besides, doctor, what is the relationship between you and his two friends and why will they follow you?""Why are you asking all these questions as if you weren't in the house with us weeks ago? and you have been with my friend. You have been sleeping in his room having sex all around countless times""Stop it! What is wrong with you? Why are you lying?""What are you talking about again? Chelsea is not lying. You know the truth so why are you hiding it?" "I can see that you two have a plan to achieve. An agenda in your cupboard and that is why
VALERIE'S POVI ran into the bathroom to clean myself. I wondered what could be wrong, but I was already running temperature. My body was hot. I came out of the bathroom. Ezra was giving me a very angry look."What is the meaning of what you did now?""What is the problem?""You are asking me what the problem is? Can you explain to me why you started throwing up?""I can't say but my body is very hot and I am feeling so feverish?""What do you mean by that? just all of a sudden you are feeling so feverish. You have been discussing laughing and chatting with Jason, you never experienced any of this. No signs, no symptoms. I need to call the doctor back to check you. It seems you are pregnant"How could I be pregnant? It's over how many weeks now, I should have had something like this earlier in which would have confirmed that I am pregnant. "You can call the doctor" I was so upset. What kind of embarrassment is this? My head started feeling heavy. What could this be?"Please call the
VALERIE'S POVI just have to be careful with them so as not to fall into their trap. I am very sure they are not happy with me and whatever to get me into trouble they will surely do it. The Alpha needs to be careful also because those two are capable of doing anything, even if it is to kill, they are ready. I have known my friend for a very long time so even if someone says she killed another, I will believe it because she is capable and she fears no one.Ezra walked into my room and sat down on a single chair that was close to the window. I was staring at him "Hey, why are you staring at me?""I am just waiting for you to talk. You just came in and sat down without saying anything, so I was wondering what brought you into the room""I just wanted us to talk""Wow! okay" I sat down upright on my bed and sharpened my ears to listen"Do you love Jason?"I was shocked at that silly question "What sort of question is this?""I just found out because I noticed you both spend time togeth
CHELSEA'S POV"Me too, I can't even see anybody there. But how did it open?"maybe Valerie has begged the Alpha to open the entrance door for us. But when did he arrive? We didn't even hear any sound of someone opening the entrance door""This is ridiculous. Why don't you try and call Valerie to know what happened""Okay, give me my phone let me call her""Hi Valerie, I want to ask if you are the one who told the Alpha to come and open the door for us""I haven't talked to him privately about it, I only made mention of it, but the Alpha is indoors. so who opened the door for you?"I became confused "that was why I called to know if he was the one. but anyways the door is open, goodbye""What did she say?""she said she didn't tell him privately about it that she only made mention of it. maybe he tried to listen to her and opened it. you know we have been talking all this while. We wouldn't have known if someone came here or not. Maybe he sent Jason""That cannot be true. we were talki
VALERIE'S POVWhy is this lady so bitter? She doesn't have a forgiving spirit. Hope Jason can cope with this kind of attitude? This kind of person is a very hard human. Her heart is so hard and can never be broken no matter what.Let me call him and tell him the latest information. I picked up my phone and called him to see me in my room. In a few minutes he arrived. "Any good news?""Jason, There is nothing like good news. I tried talking to her but I got an insult instead""Why is she doing this? Why is she like this? she doesn't forgive and forget""I don't think that is in her agenda. She never forgets and she never forgives. She only pretends that everything is fine. She said I should never call her to talk about that again. how are you sure that even if she accepts, Are you going to cope with that kind of attitude? Of course, misunderstanding will surely arise. how do you want to cope with that kind of human being?""That one is not a problem Valerie, it will be sorted out. I o
VALERIE'S POVWe were so shocked. Why was he acting like this? It's just a harmless hug. So what does he mean by his statement?"So this is what you do when you are in a room together. I know that something was going on but I wanted to get my evidence and you two have been denying and claiming innocent all this while""Ezra, it is just a harmless hug. Why are you taking this too far?""What do you mean by I am taking it too far. Why would Jason hug you? What do you both have in common that will warrant a hug and I thought I asked Jason leave this place? Why did he come back again? I asked him to come back because we were actually discussing about something when you walked in""Oh I see! what were you people talking about that I don't know""It is nothing serious. just about the treatment I got from those two heartless friends, very bad and also his own encounter when he got there""Are you sure of what you are telling me?""I am very sure, you can ask him"I wonder why he was looking
