-Aria-

A very strong wind almost swept me off my feet as the werewolf almost tore at me. But my eyes were closed, and my hands were protectively over my face. Yet it was more than a minute and the wolf was not on me, and the growl had gone wilder and tougher.

I opened my eyes, my chest heaving heavily to find another wolf had darted the attack, and the two were fighting on the ground.

The new wolf was bigger, fiercer, and stronger, and by the time the wolf that was going to attack me was able to get back up, it had sustained so many injuries. All the other wolves retreated, leaving me and my savior alone.

I had not had the time to process all that when Prisca ran towards me from nowhere and held me in a firm embrace.

How did she get here? I was too shocked to say anything as I kept looking at the wolf that just saved me.

“Jasmine,” Prisca called worriedly, touching my face lightly. “Jasmine, are you okay? Did they hurt you?”

She ran her hands over my body in concern. My eyes were stil

    -Ariel-I entered my room and closed the door with a loud bang. You entrust some bunch of idiots with a simple task and they ruin it. What is there in killing that girl? It would not take more than five minutes, yet they could not deliver.And that stupid Prisca of a girl, always found where she is not wanted. She had been the one who rushed to raise an alarm about the incident. I hissed loudly and sat heavily on the bed. I was this close, this close to getting rid of Jasmine yet again but she escaped. Thankfully, the incident would not be traced to me because they had managed to escape.Imagine they had been caught, they had better not mention my name because I would deny everything and make sure they get double sanctioned for false accusations on a royalty. I hissed again. Thinking about the whole stuff was so annoying and made my head bang. I felt like screaming out my frustration.I hate Jasmine so much I wish I could strangle her right away and not have to wait on a strategy that

    -Prisca-Everyone walked out and I was left alone with Jasmine in her room. I did not plan to stay any longer though, since I had kept my distance recently from her and she had not tried talking me into staying.But I was glad I was able to notice something was off and raised an alarm and now she was fine.“Uhm, make sure to rest okay? You will feel better,” I told her, making for the door. “I will be on my way now.”“Prisca wait,” she said softly.“Yeah? You want me to do something for you?” I asked with a raised brow.“Yes, I want you to sit with me,” she said with a small smile on her face, tapping the side of the bed close to her. I hesitated before walking towards her on the bed and sat down, still looking at her quizzically.“Is everything okay?” I asked her again and she sighed.“Everything is okay Prisca,” she replied. “I just wanted to thank you for saving my life.”“Oh that,” I smiled. “It’s nothing. Besides, you are my friend and I should look out for you. And you should th

    -Lara-I woke up with a frown on my face this morning. Today is already a bad day, I decided. Every day was a bad day as far as I am concerned and the alpha is not looking my way. What was more, that stupid Jasmine was rubbing herself all over the place acting like she was more special than everyone else.I was not happy that Adonai was entertaining her too and it was obvious he was beginning to have a thing for her. It makes me sick, knowing my chances with the alpha are getting slimmer by the day because of her.I do not want to be a mistress. The only difference between being a mistress and a maid is the services we render. Sometimes, our existence does not count in the empire. I wonder how Vera and Agatha and so comfortable with being that.As always, they were seated in the parlor we all shared, all of us, except that pompous Jasmine of course, who thinks she is too important to associate herself with us. She does not even eat with us.“Why is your face squeezed this way, Lara?”

    -Dante-“So you rushed out to go and save her like that,” I asked Adonai with a raised brow in irritation. I was in his room and he was drawing points on a map. It was how he always looked busy whenever I walked into his room that amazed me.Sometimes, I am tempted to think he was pretending so I would feel intimidated. But not me, whether Adonai was making plans or not and was pretending, I am also making my plans under-ground which he does not see, to de-throne him.“What do you mean by I went out to save her life?” he threw back at me. “What exactly do you mean by like that?”“No because I was wondering, you could send your guards while you sit back in the palace but instead, you were the one who rushed to her first leaving me and every other person with the impression that something is going on between you two we do not know anything about,” I shot at him defiantly.“Dante, Jasmine is a member of my pack and as the alpha, my responsibility. In fact, since she is my mistress, she i

    -Aria-Dante walked out with a breeze of annoyance which he left behind and I wondered what it was he was discussing with Adonai who had a knowing grin on his face as he watched him storm out.“Your brother seems to be very mad about something,” I commented casually, guardedly.“How are you doing this morning?” Adonai asked instead, ignoring what I had said. I sighed and decided there was no use pushing it. If I did, it would look more obvious that I was interested in Dante’s mood and was not supposed to be.“I am fine,” I replied with a small smile. “I came to thank you for saving me yesterday.”“You should be more careful next time,” Adonai said, returning to what he was doing. “You might not be so lucky next time.”I suddenly had a feeling he was being deliberately harsh on me but I waved it off. Perhaps, I was overthinking and it was too early to conclude that.However, I could not completely do away with the thought and as I stared at him engrossed in the work behind him, I did n

    -Asher-I sat with a long face in the courtroom, listening to all the complaints of the ingrates I had as council members.“We might think that we are lucky to have been just punished by Adonai because he would have taken drastic measures against us and our people but he did not. But as lenient as it seems, we still have to pay a heavy fine,” one of them pointed out and there was a murmur of agreement in the room.“This has taken us to a lower level, even more than we had expected. I mean, I thought the plan was to get our pack elevated, but now the reverse is the case,” another said.“I think we should all calm down,” Derick said. He was the only one who had my back and my most trusted lieutenant in the whole of the pack. I trusted him with all my endeavors and he always supported me. “It is not the alpha’s fault that the plan had not gone as intended. Things like this happen sometimes. Arguing about it within ourselves is never the solution.”“So you tell us what the solution is, De

    -Aria-I dragged my feet into the room and opened the door angrily. I stopped halfway into the room to stare at the heap on my bed. I sighed as the realization hit me. It’s just Prisca. She had not gone back home and of course, after the last conversation we had, I had implied I did not mind having her around. After all, she had a habit of sticking around and since I had concluded that she was good to be with me, I did not bother about that.She jumped up when she heard me walk into the room but the smile on her face faded away when it met my frown.“What happened?” she looked at me questioningly.“Nothing,” I replied rather sharply and sat on the edge of the bed grudgingly.“Nothing happened and your face is like this?” she shook her head at me disapprovingly.“You know, I had gone to see Adonai,” I began and quickly added, “To thank him for saving me from those wolves,” because of how she looked at me.“Okay? So what happened?” she pushed.“And then he was acting all special and pri

    -Asher-The journey to the soothsayer was a very long one but Derick had kept assuring it was worth it and the said soothsayer was very good according to him. I had no doubts however that I could get answers since the last time I had gone to a witch, I was able to get what I wanted.I did not think though, that the solution to my problem and that of my packs does not lie within the confines of a soothsayer. I was afraid to think it was beyond that, but since I had no way of knowing what the problem was, and not to then think of the solution, I had to make do with what I had.We finally got there and it was a distant land void of people which was good for me because werewolves were not meant to have anything to do with witches or soothsayers of any kind. It was an offense punishable by death and unheard of, by an alpha.“Alpha of the Moonbeam tribe,” a raspy voice called from the small building ahead of us even before we entered. I was not very much fascinated that the man, the voice s

    -Adonai- I took in a deep breath to steady myself when Maria approached me, her face strained with worry and told me Aria was nowhere to be found.I had asked her to go get her since the ceremony was about to start."What do you mean by she is nowhere to be found," I asked, my voice in a low whisper so the people at my table would not hear."Even I don't understand myself," Maria said. "But she is not in her room and no one seems to have seen her."No, this cannot be happening now. I braced myself and tried to remain calm."Uhm, gentlemen, I will be right back," I addressed the men at my table."Is everything fine?" Dominick asked as I excused myself and I told him all was well. All was not well at all. A few minutes to the start of my wedding the bride is nowhere to be found.I walked with long strides towards Aria's room with Maria following steadily behind me."I was wondering if she had to quickly do something outside the palace because it doesn't seem like she..."

    -Aria- I groaned in pain as I opened my eyes. I tried to move but discovered I couldn't, I was tied firmly to something I could not see, a pole or something.What's going on? I tried to think. The last thing I remembered was being prepared for my wedding and then strange faces appeared in my room.I looked up sharply when I realised what had happened. I was in an empty room that was void of anything normal in a location I could not fathom.I recognised the faces in the room as the ones who had walked in on me."Who are you and why did you kidnap me?" My throat was dry, as well as my voice. None of them bothered to give me an answer."Hey, say something. Who sent you?" I pushed."Keep it down Aria," a very familiar voice said. "This is not the palace where you speak anyhow you like and everyone is answerable to you.""Prisca?" I muttered under my breath but she heard."Tis me, yes," she stretched her hands out in a show of dignity. "Flesh and blood."I looked on in shock. Is this a dr

    -Aria- I was being dressed by the maids for the wedding when Adonai walked in, and they all trooped out to give us a moment."Is anything the matter?" I asked, searching his face."Not really," he replied with a small smile on his face. "I just wanted to see you."I rolled my eyes at him."You see me every day," I pointed out."Yeah," he replied with a sigh as he walked to a stool and sat in front of me, his eyes watched me tenderly."What?" I shook my head with a chuckle."You know, there is this old story we heard while growing up," he said."Okay?""That you become too excited and overwhelmed about someone or something because you are about to lose it.""Hmm." I breathed out. "Never heard about that before. But why are you talking about that? Are you thinking I might leave you?""No. I am relating it to how excited I am about getting married to you," he said and took my hand in his. "Are you ready to become Mrs. Adonai and Luna of this pack?""You think I am ready?" I threw back a

    -Adonai- Today is the day I officially get married to Aria. I was sure my face radiated the joy I felt within. I could not hide it.I walked around the building, watching as the maids and guards ran around to put things in order. It is going to be a very big ceremony. Invites have been sent far and near, and all the provinces and clans, big and small packs, would be gathered for the wedding.Werewolves coming from far distances had arrived the night before. Dante approached me with a grimace on his face."So you are finally getting married to Aria," he commented."So am I," I said with the same energy."Well, how does that make you feel?" He wanted to know and I narrowed my eyes at him, trying to discern his reason for asking."Complete, I guess. A man with a family.""Mmm," Dante hummed and nodded. "True.""And after this, you also have to settle down as well. You have a fiancé already, so that wouldn't be hard, I guess?"He chuckled."Well then, after you."While we spoke, alpha Do

    -Aria- My heart skipped a beat when I lifted my eyes to the door and saw Adonai. He walked in with a blank expression on his face, approaching us slowly."Adonai, Zafa here was just telling me that he was leaving the pack. It was what we were discussing before you walked in," I jumped in to explain hurriedly when he had not asked me anything.Adonai did not respond. I tried to read his expression, but he hid it well. He stood beside me and faced Zafa, who looked back boldly as if Adonai had not walked in on us almost about to kiss."Is that so?" Adonai finally spoke, addressing Zafa."It is indeed so," Zafa confirmed, unshaken."But you did not tell me," Adonai said dryly. "You came to my wife to tell her but I am not aware of what is going on.""She was the one that sent for me first," Zafa replied. "And I did plan to tell you, though, she is the reason why I came to this pack. Either way, you would have known anyway."I was worried about the way the two were going. I wouldn't want

    -Aria-I moved away from the view of the window and sucked in a deep breath. I was getting better already, but health came with its problems. I was not on good terms with both Zafa and Adonai, and the two avoided me.I had thought Zafa was acting up because of his feelings for me, but when I found out what happened, it was already too late.I confronted Adonai, too, and now he was upset with me even though he had taken off the sentence on Zafa and he was a free man again. That did not solve anything.And it is funny to think that the wedding ceremony was just in two days and the couple were not talking to each other. Adonai might as well as just call off the wedding for now, or postpone it. I loved him and can not wait to get married to him but at least, not like this."Never have I seen a bride looking like this a few days before her wedding, except, of course, she doesn't love the groom, which is not the case for you," Prisca commented."A lot of things are going on in my head," I t

    -Adonai- I couldn't help the joy that radiated all over me, happy because both Aria and my baby were safe and in good condition. I quickly took my bath so I would return to Aria and spend some time with her. She was all that mattered to me and not this ungrateful pack I led.I would take a break from everything and create a special date for me and her. I have put plans for all the wedding preparations to kick start with immediate effect. I am wasting no time in making her my wife, whether the pack likes it or not.I walked into the room to meet her talking with Prisca, who excused us immediately after I walked in."Hey love," I greeted Aria brightly as I dragged a stool and sat close to her."Hi," her voice was less enthusiastic than before but I decided not to dwell on it."So how are my babies doing," I asked as I rubbed my hands against each other."Good," she answered shortly."Okay..." At this point, I was sure something was wrong. "Is everything alright? Why are you sounding th

    -Adonai- I paused and turned round to behold Aria's questioningly eyes on me and Zafa."Aria?" I called under my breath, unable to believe my eyes even though it was a thing I wanted so badly. I let go of Zafa and he staggered, hitting a table. I care less about him as I hurried to Aria and held her hands. "Aria you are alive.""What happened?" She asked as she tried to sit up."Please don't stress it," I held her back gently. "You have been in a coma for days now.""Coma?" Her eyes widened a bit."Yes," I replied as I explained. "You were poisoned." I turned towards Zafa's direction as I spoke and she followed my eyes."What?...what about my baby?" She suddenly panicked."Hey calm down...""My baby, did....did something happen to it?""Calm down now," I said slowly as I sat beside her on the bed. "Look at me. That is something we don't know for now but the most important thing is you are alive.""No," she shook her head vigorously. "Nothing must happen to my baby.""Come on, we can

    -Dante- If only I had known that killing Dan would make Adonai think of the option of using Zafa, I would have thought of something better. But Dan was a fool and the reason for my hasty decision. I was livid. He dared go behind my back to seek Zafa's help.He must have told him I forced him into it and I cannot have such foolishness go free. My only consolation was that the poison would have done severe damage to Aria by now that there would be no help for her.Let Zafa try all he can, and Adonai try to get all the medicine men he can far and wide, there's nothing that can be done.I have made all my strategies and they are ready now. I have strong support within and outside the pack. This is only but a distraction before I pounce on Adonai finally. He wouldn't be able to fight back because his hold on the pack is weak.Almost all the elders and men in the pack are by my side. I have penetrated them and talked them into believing Adonai was no good anymore. Aria made it even easier
