CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED CONSTANCE I was busy going through some dresses online. I didn't have the energy to check what the maid did, or should I say, I had a soft spot for her, so I let her go without checking the room as usual. When she left, I breathed out and immediately went back to checking the clothes on the shopping site. After a while, I received a message from an unknown number. Although the number looked familiar, it wasn't saved up on my contact list. I opened the message, and my eyes went wide open. I also dropped my phone without even knowing it. I wiped my face and quickly picked up the phone. I stared deeply into the screen, and the message was still there. Just before I could react any further, my phone began to vibrate. It was the guard I asked to track the number. I quickly picked up the call and placed the phone beside my ear. I hoped deeply that he had good news for me. "Ma'am, Constance," he greeted me before he began to speak. "It's about the number that you
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ONERIVER If Edwin was planning an attack, then we needed to prepare for him. Edwin and his pack were ruthless. He wouldn't stop until he finished us. I didn't doubt Elara when she told me about Edwin's plans to attack the pack. I quickly summoned Harrison, who appeared immediately after I summoned him. "Greetings to you, River," he greeted me. There was a smile on his face when he walked in, and I thought I would deviate from the subject a bit. "You look excited," I noted. He smiled even more broadly when I said that. I leaned forward. I was more interested now. "Tell me about it, Harrison," I asked. "Nothing, I'm just excited today," he replied. I shook my head. I was sure that Harrison wasn't just excited because of nothing. There was no way he would wake up with such a high spirit so early in the morning. "You and I know very well that you of all people can not be excited for no reason."Harrison didn't reply immediately. He just continued smiling
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWORIVER It was finally Tuesday. I paced my room like my life depended on it. I was a little paranoid. I didn't know what the war would look like and what the outcome would be. It was noon already, and I hadn't even had breakfast. The whole pack seemed unusually quiet and peaceful. It carried an aura that I didn't like. I paced the room continuously with different thoughts flooding my head at the same time. I soon walked over to my bed to sit there. At midday, I began to hear howls and groans from the wood paths. I knew at once that it was Edwin and his pack warriors that had attacked. I quickly grabbed a sword from under my bed and rushed out of the room. When I got to the woods, I met my warriors and Harrison already fighting really hard and struggling badly to keep the black blood pack away from the pack. I was impressed by the way they fought. There was no need for me to do the fighting anymore. I just stood at an elevated ground and watched as they ba
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THREEELLA I was going through some designer bags online. They were new sets, and Lisa was the one who recommended them before she left. I haven't been able to check them out ever since. I was bored and missed Lisa, so the bags came to my mind immediately when I began to miss her. I scrolled through and added the ones I loved to my cart. I had in mind that I would select them properly when it was time to pay for them.Seeing the bags made me miss Lisa more. She was a fashion person, so she was always looking for anything that would add to her fashion style. Lisa was more of a lover of bags. I paused and began staring blankly at my screen. If Lisa didn't leave, then this would have been the best time to get to River. Elara's absence. I grinned as I thought of this idea, but the grin disappeared immediately when I realized that Lisa was actually not there. I stood up from my bed and walked towards my wardrobe. I needed to convince River that Lisa was now a
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURELARA "Ewww," I cried out as I dipped the brush into the toilet. I placed my fingers tightly on my nose and tried to stay calm. I knew I would not survive for so long without taking in any breath, so at some point, I'd rush towards the window to inhale air. I remembered the nosemask I added spray, and I quickly wore it before continuing the cleaning.I spat into the toilet as I bent down and kept wiping off the dirt all over it. After scrubbing the toilet, I settled for the floor when I heard the door open and shut violently. I was startle at first, hoping that the pack wasn't under attack, or they would get me first. "How did this happen?" I heard Edwin scold. I could hear him pacing the room. Someone else was with him, and I could feel the presence of two people present in the room. "How did he find out that we are going to attack today?" He continued to scold. "I do not have any idea," Gerald responded. It was then that I realised that Gerald w
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE EDWINI slouched in my chair as I pondered in my heart how River got to know about the attack. There was no way I would have sent a signal to him by mistake.I made sure to warn the soldiers and my messengers not to send any warning signs to the red breeder pack. It was a mystery, and I was still confused as to how he got to know about what happened. The door opened, and Constance walked into the room. She was wearing a beautiful smile on her face as she walked in. I wouldn't ask her why she was excited. Whenever Constance went out with her friends, she always came back with something to say. When she saw me, she hurried towards me and hugged me tightly. "How was your day, honey," she asked. "You're back already."I didn't hug her back, and neither did I respond. I just stayed put.She freed me and stared at me. Her smiles had reduced now, and there was a little confusion all over her face. "Why don't you look happy? How was the attack?" She asked.
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXELARA"And he didn't sound like he was joking, Elara," Lucy continued to lament. She had been that way since she walked into the room in panic. "Edwin doesn't make empty threats. What do you think we should do about this whole issue?"I walked towards her and placed my arms around her neck. "You have to calm down, Lucy," I pleaded with her. "I know that Edwin is dangerous, but come on, honey. Come on."She shook her head and pulled me away slowly. "I am scared," she whispered and stood up from the floor. She walked over to the bed and sat there. Her whole body shook at its own pace, and I watched her for a while before letting out a huge sigh. "Lucy," I called her calmly. She lifted her head slowly to look at me. I stared at her for a while. There were tears in her eyes, and seeing her that way hurt me even more. Edwin and Constance needed to die as soon as possible. If not, they would keep causing more trouble. "I'd protect you. I'll try to make s
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN ELLAI've been strolling ever since Lisa left the house. I was walking around the pack house when I noticed Elara's bodyguard walking towards me from the other end. I was shocked when I saw him. How was he here? Was he not supposed to be with Elara? She was probably back in the pack house. But, if she was, why haven't I seen her? If Elara came back, the whole pack wouldn't be as quiet as it was. She wouldn't come back without letting River know. And River wouldn't want to keep it silent. "Hey!" I beckoned on him immediately when he was close enough to me. He headed towards me and stopped in front of me. I stared at him from his head, down to his toe, and up again. He didn't look like he was coming from a trip or anything close. He smelt like he had been in the pack house all these days. "Why are you in the pack house?" I asked him. "You are supposed to be with Elara. So, why are you here when she isn't."He opened his mouth to reply, but I immediat
