-Ariel-

I stood in front of the large mirror in my room frowning at the reflection before me. I hated it so much that I looked like Jasmine but was nothing like her. Even though we were twins, she was a lot more different and I hated to say, prettier.

Sometimes I wondered what makes her different and it made me want to act like her. I would have the same clothes as her and that was normal because since childhood we wore the same clothes. But it seemed she always outshined me even when we were wearing the same thing.

I sighed and moved away from the mirror. I was not asking for too much. All I want is for Jasmine to stay away from things that were mine. Was she not satisfied with everything she had? I looked at the food the maid had brought a few hours ago uninterestingly.

I was sure it was cold now and the thought of that made it even less appetizing. There was a light knock on the door and I shook my head as if whoever it was could see me. I did not want any disturbance.

    -Adonai-I was finding it very difficult to concentrate. I found myself thinking about Jasmine and if she was okay. The only reason why I was thinking about her was because I had not seen her in days and I was left with the worry that something must have happened to her.I could not take it anymore and decided to ask one of the guards to get her. I hope she has not done anything funny again this time around. It annoyed me that I could not pretend someone like her did not exist and just live my life. It annoyed me more that was restless and wanted to see her.I stood up from the study table and walked to the door.“Go get me Jasmine,” I said to the guards at the door and one of them left to carry out the order. I walked back to the room and caught myself waiting anxiously for her to arrive.What is the meaning of this? Why was I this excited to see a woman I did not care about a few days ago? This was the same woman who I was going to marry and did not feel a thing about. It is the sam

    -Aria-“What does the alpha want to see me for?” I found myself asking and received a glare from the guard.“It is not in my place to answer that,” he replied unsmilingly. My face was laced with some worry for the benefit of those in the room with me, but deep down, I was happy that the alpha was calling for me.In that case, it meant my plan was working. I had better not celebrate too soon, I chided myself. I did not know what he had sent for me, it might not be what I thought.“You must not keep the alpha waiting,” the guard’s menacing voice rang in my air and I frowned slightly. Okay, have I told anyone do not like how these guards speak to me? But he is the least of my worries now. I will deal with that when I can get Adonai’s attention.“I will be right back,” I told Prisca without looking at her and braced myself towards the guard. I stood before him and he moved out of the way.“After you,” he said as he pointed towards the door. I walked past him to the door and he followed be

    -Adonai-She called me her Lord again and I could swear I saw a victorious glint in her eyes as if she knew how satisfied I was hearing her call me that. But I made sure she did not see my reaction. I could not show her I was pleased.I cleared my throat and paced around her.“Do not think yourself of any importance,” I told her with a stern look on my face. “I only sent for you because I had not seen you in days and I was worried that you would pull off the same thing you had done the last time during the wedding.”“Ouch,” she muttered. “I shouldn’t have thought of myself as anything worthy of the alpha’s concern.”I was amused by her confidence. The words from her lips flowed out smoothly as if she was talking to a friend and I wondered what the inspiration was.“You know, since the last time I had you in this room you have not brought yourself before me,” I said with a secret grin on my face, knowing well she might not want to talk about that and the grin widened when I noticed the

    I abandoned the clothes I was sorting in the dresser and went to sit sulkily on the edge of the bed. I wondered why the alpha had sent for Jasmine and I could not wait for her to return so I would ask her what he said.While I sat on the bed, staring into space my eyes caught a colorful dress from the dresser and I stood up to get it. I placed it on my body and went to stand in front of the mirror. It fitted me so well.I decided I was going to ask Jasmine for it. Most of the clothes I had was given to me by her and I am sure she would not hesitate to give me this as well.While I was checking it out in the mirror I heard the door open. Good thing she is here so I can ask her for the dress before I skip.“Jasmine look how gorgeous this dress looks on me,” I said not looking away from the mirror. I paused when I did not get any response. Why was she not saying anything? I had heard the door open or was I mistaken? I wondered.No, I was sure I was not. I could sense a presence in the ro

    -Aria-On my way back to my room, not being escorted by the guards this time around, I had the space to take my time and walk the way I wished. I had carried myself with as much grace and pose as I even though I was conscious of the guard walking stealthily after my heels.Sometimes I wondered if the guards were instructed to act the way they did or if they just acted that way on their own accord. Perhaps, while the alpha would instruct them to go get him Jasmine, he also added,“Make sure not to give her breathing space.”I rolled my eyes. I have not seen them act that way with anyone like that though because I had not observed. But I had decided I was not going to take it. I will make good my plans on Adonai as soon as I can so I can get this addressed.Now back to the alpha whom I had gone to see, a small smile appeared on the corners of my lips when I realized he had called for me because he missed me.Hehe, I covered my mouth to suppress a laugh.Well, he had not said that but I

    -Dante-I was walking around the empire and admiring the building like a man with the ambition to take over it. I could not wait to be alpha so I could rule over all of this. Our father had left a legacy that Adonai had built on and soon his legacy will live on just like my father when I take over the pack from him. I would be the greatest alpha and not just the brother of a great alpha. I too desire greatness. They say the patient dog eats the fattest bone and I have been patiently waiting for the perfect time to strike, carefully planning.It would not be long before my plan fell into place. No one would have known all the things I have put in place for a day like that to come. I had everything ready underground.All I need now is for Jasmine to comply with me so I can fulfill my ambitions. She is the one who has caused a delay now. As I expected, I was one of the happiest people when my brother was going to get married to her.After all, I am the alpha’s brother so I should be hap

    Ellen-There was something off about the aura around Jasmine but I could not put my hand on it. I looked at her intently as if I was trying to figure out what was wrong. Is my baby okay?“Mum?” she called out, snapping me out of my thoughts. “What is wrong? Why are you looking at me as if you have seen a ghost?”I held out my hand and touched her face gently.“Jasmine baby, are you okay?” I asked with concern laced in my voice and she giggled.“Seriously mum, is that why you are looking that way?” she shook her head. “I told you I am fine. I am perfectly fine.”I sighed and walked towards her bed while she was still holding my hand. She followed me and we sat on the bed together.“I have been worried ever since the last incident Jasmine. I have not been able to get over the fact that I would have lost you forever and the reason for that is because I had tried to match you with a man you probably do not love.”“Mum,” she looked at me with concern as well. “Mum don’t say that.

    -Aria-I placed my hand on my chest immediately the door closed after my mother as if it could steady my racing heartbeat.Now I am so sure if anyone was going to find out I was not Jasmine, it would have to be this woman. It was how she looked at me like her eyes could see through my soul. I struggled so much to act normal while talking to her, but my body shook. I should have known I would have all these to put up with.I cannot let anyone know I am not Jasmine. It would ruin everything for me. My encounter with my supposed mother left me in a state of worry and I knew I had to begin to think of ways to get over with her as well as others.All I had been concerned about was how to get Adonai, forgetting there were other people I would have to relate with who had relationships with Jasmine and I had to flow with them without questions and do so successfully. This was harder than I thought.I stood up from the bed when I realized I had been sitting in one position since the woman left

    - Aria -Madin had escaped, successfully slipping out of our hands. I was worried about that because I did not know who he was working for as a spy while he was here and why."So what do we do now?" Zafa asked."We have to be on the lookout so we won't be taken off guard. There is another pack or group of werewolves who are interested in us, and for whatever reason, we are not sure."We had kept him in custody intending to get information from him after we were done with Moondream."What's next is returning to Moonwalker. We need to put things in order. You will talk to your people. They are moving with us."Zafa's brows creased in thought."I don't know what the people will think about this," he said. "We have been here all our lives. I don't think the people will feel safe about leaving for another place. You know we are different from others and that was the reason that pioneered the other werewolves against us.""You are with me," I told him confidently. "You don't have to worry a

    -Aria-It was cold and dark outside. I don't know for how long I have been sitting here, but I was all alone and thinking.I had left Adonai in bed and sneaked to the verandah. I relished the thoughts of that young and naive girl, an ordinary girl who had been attracted to the alpha of her pack. She was so foolish enough to think she would have a place in such a man's heart.I remembered how I secretly had an affair with him and got laid all because I wanted to break his curse and that I did also because I loved him. He kept me hidden from the pack for long. That was the spoiler from the beginning, I should have known.But he told me he was waiting for the right time to announce me as his wife and that time never came. The heartless man watched me and the infant, which was his seed, burn to death.My thoughts were not for self-pity of what had happened to me but, amazingly, of how I wished I could be that girl again but had stayed away from the alpha and the troubles of the throne.I

    - Aria -It was a fierce battle but we fought with everything in us. I kept the thought of protecting my people and the image of Adonai close to heart and it kept me focused and going. I could see that we had taken more of Moondream's warriors down, and we were winning.I paused to take a breath."Aria watch out!" I heard someone shout and turned around swiftly. There was a blade flying towards me. I wouldn't have been able to avoid it even if I had moved at twice the speed it came with.I closed my eyes, already expecting the blade to pierce through me and in that split second, remembered my baby. I held my hands around my stomach protectively."No!" There was a scream and that was Adonai.Then everywhere went silent. I waited for a moment to feel the pain but felt nothing except the pressure of my hands on my belly. I brought my palms to my face to see if there was blood. There was none.Adonai was upon the warrior who had thrown the blade at me and killed him.I heard a movement an

    - Dante -I paused to rest a bit, feeling very exhausted and my skin burned from the scorching of the Sun. I was in the open field, alongside some people from my pack who had been fetched to work here. In a few days, I am already looking like a shadow of myself, thin and worn out in shabby clothes.This was where all my hard work had landed me. I have lost everything. Just as I was about to move, men from my pack cornered me. The looks on their faces were not friendly at all."What do you want?" I had to ask when they stood around me without a word."You are the reason why we are here," one of them said. "You brought this upon us, and they made us slaves."And it was only then I noticed the weapon in his hand."So what now?" You are going to kill me?" I had to put on a bold font even though I was scared."Yes we will," another answered menacingly."And what is that going to change or solve?" I wanted to keep them in the conversation so I could buy time before a guard came around. Ther

    - Adonai -Someone cleared his throat and we both looked up to see Zafa standing by the door."I am so sorry to have interrupted this moment, but there is something on ground," he announced before closing the door and walking in. "News just reaching us that Zico has taken over your pack and made your people, slaves."I stood up from the bed."What about Dante?" Was the only thing I could think of and say. The looks on their faces were that of disapproval. Because I still cared about my brother despite everything he had done to me.I knew Dante intended to become alpha and there was no way he would have agreed to Zico enslaving the pack under his reign. So I wanted to know what had happened to my brother. I waited for an answer, hoping that the worst had not happened."Your brother is not dead," Zafa said as if he could read my fear. "Yet," he added. "Zico has made him slave, including all the elders that had stood with him, and appointed a new council that will oversee the pack while

    - Aria -It broke my heart to pieces seeing Adonai like this, but I did not understand what he was saying about eloping with another man."You did not write any letter to me saying you have gone to be with Zafa?" He further asked and I narrowed my eyes in thoughts."Never did I write such," I told him, and he cocked his head in a direction, finding it difficult to believe what I had said."Then where were you on the day of the wedding," he crossed his arms over his chest. I sighed deeply and walked slowly to the bed. I sat on the edge with his eyes following my every move, waiting for an answer."I was kidnapped by Prisca," I told him, my voice low.The expression on his face turned to shock."Yes," I continued. "Prisca kidnapped me. She had been a traitor all these while but I never knew until that day. I found out she had been making attempts to kill me before now. She stood in the facade of a friend, waiting for the perfect moment to strike."Adonai went mute for a while, processin

    - Zafa -I walked into the room I had reserved for Adonai after he had freshened up and rested from the fight.He was standing by the window, looking out. He did not turn round when I walked in. I stood in the middle of the room with my hands behind my back."Greetings, alpha," I called out to get his attention."Why did you bring me here?" He asked instead, and I was puzzled by his choice of words."What?"He turned round to look at me."Why did you come for me and then bring me here?" He repeated and in the brief moment of silence that followed, I wondered why he would be asking that."Your brother wanted to kill you," I said. "If we had not been there you would have been...""Better off death," he cut me mid-sentence. "What, you think you have done me a favour by saving me from Dante and then bringing me here?"I took in a deep breath, willing myself to remain calm despite the odds. There was no point exchanging words with Adonai. I should understand what he is going through. He mi

    - Adonai- I closed my eyes tightly and expected to be in the afterlife by the time I opened them again, but my body seemed to remain on the previous, nothing had changed.I opened my eyes to see Dante being thrown roughly aside by a big werewolf and another fight had issued. Werewolves from another pack had attacked. They did not look like the ones in Moon Dream.I cracked my wounded brain to see if I could recall who they were but nothing was coming to mind. They looked entirely different and large.At some point, I began to wonder whose side they were on, confused. There was something about one of them, who looked bigger than every other werewolf.I was surprised to find out it was a female. She was so strong. But there was something even more fascinating. I felt a connection to her, but I could not tell who she was until..."Aria...!" Someone called and I turned round sharply. I recognize the voice as Zafa's. He was trying to get her attention, but Aria was in her world, uncontrol

    -Adonai-I was very surprised when almost all the warriors and elders went to Dante's side. That was when I realised he had been plotting this for long and now, has everyone supporting him.Dante smiled when he noticed the look on my face. He charged at me and the fight began. I fought hard and with everything in me. I was more on the defensive because even though I did not want to fight Dante or do any harm to him, he swayed with every blow intended to kill me.I felt weak after fighting for a long while, and more when I saw how outnumbered we were. Dante and his people had killed every other person on my side.I looked around to see the dead bodies around. I fell to the ground, unable to move having sustained an injury on my leg.I was dragged out to the open. I could tell because I was still conscious but on the verge of passing out.The noise was that of a thousand people murmuring, and I guessed Dante had gathered the entire pack to disgrace me before them.I heard someone whimpe
