GIVE ME TIME

ALICIA

I have been having a problem from the day I was attacked in the forest. My wolf disappeared completely. I think it's because of the serious injuries the beast inflicted on me.

Melissa told me that I spent about a week in bed unconscious. Since then I have tried severally to summon my wolf but to no avail. Right now I need her most but still she is nowhere to be found. Drake towers before me, the sleeves of his shirt rolled up to reveal muscular arms, networks of veins intertwined with toned muscles. That is all I can see for now because my head is bowed but I belief that he is a sight to behold. The girls didn't throw themselves at him for nothing.

Silence reigns for a very long time and I just wish that this ends soon so that I may go home. I am inside the biggest office in this pack and the owner is standing in front of me, saying nothing, watching me as I teetering on the brink of fear.

“What's your name?” He finally says and I lift up my eyes to look at his. They are still powerful, looking deep into me as if to warn me against lying.

“My name is Alicia Waters.” I reply. He goes silent for a while. Then he comes closer and holds up my chin. His gaze is now on my scar, my ugly scar. When I saw myself in the mirror after the attack I couldn't believe what I saw. The scar changed my appearance completely and it took time for me to accept myself. Drake runs his hand through the scar and I am almost trembling.

“Will you tell me about it?” He asks.

“Yes I will Alpha. I was attacked by a beast sometime ago. The wounds healed and that is all that was left.” I don't know what he is up to. If I committed an offense by not attending the party last night then he should cut to the chase. I am now finding it difficulty to continue standing.

“You can take a seat.” He says as he retreats to his swivel chair behind the desk. Immediately I take the only seat available, directly opposite him.

“Maybe I should tell you why you are here. But I think your wolf must have told you this already.” He says. My wolf? No? It's as if I am back to my childhood days when all I could hear people talking about was their wolves when I had none. Now Alpha Drake assumes that my wolf is active but it's not.

“Yesterday we had a very colourful party. Too bad that you didn't attend because it would have been more colourful. This is because I have found out that you are what I was looking for, my mate.”

My heart skips a beat and I almost stand up from my seat. I am his mate? I can't believe this. My wolf, where are you? Please come and confirm this. It's as if I am whispering this prayer.

I remember vividly the incident where Alpha Eric rejected me and threw me into the swimming pool. As I swam out I remember myself rejecting him too. I felt a lot of hatred for him and decided to inflict the rejection pain on him too. I also swore not to indulge myself in any other affairs any time soon because I wanted to exact revenge on Eric. In my mind, he had to pay dearly for what he did to me and until then I was to spend my time augmenting myself. No distractions. But now here we are.

“Alpha Drake, I am honoured.” I find myself saying. “About my wolf, she hasn't said anything about this so I guess we have to wait for her to say something about it.” I add.

H gets off his seat and goes round the massive desk to stand behind me. I can feel his presence just a few inches away.

“My wolf has already told me that you are the one. When yours comes around she will confirm the same so you need not worry.” His baritone voice is so near, it's as if he's speaking into my ear. I maintain my composure, but deep down I am thinking deeply.

“You will need to move in here with me now, because you are now going to become my mate and the Luna of this pack.” He adds.

“But Alpha....” I start to speak but he cuts me short.

“Call me Drake. You are my mate and I can't allow you to continue being so formal with me.” He says. He sits next to me and his hand is now on my chin again.

“There must be a problem with your wolf. She should have helped you in healing this. However, our pack doctor is an expert and he is going to correct this.”

Little does he know that my scar is like a badge of honor, a constant reminder that I must seek revenge for wrongs done to me.

“Thanks. You are so kind." I say. Just then the door opens and a boy, about ten years old walks in.

“Ah Victor, come in. Meet my mate Alicia. Alicia, meet my brother Victor.” Drake says. I can see now that he can really smile, a smile that melts away all the seriousness on his face. For the first time I have seen his teeth. He looks absolutely handsome.

The boy rushes to where I am seated and tightly hugs me. I hug him back, fighting not to get emotional. He reminds me of my brother Amos when he was young.

“Congratulations Drake for finding your mate. I was beginning to get worried for you. Alicia, I'm so happy to meet you.” Victor, whose hands are still on my shoulders says. I don't know what to say, but I must leave this office. I am confused. I don't know what to do now that events have turned up this way.

Drake's phone rings and he walks back to his seat and takes the call. From the conversation I figure out that it's pack stuff. Meanwhile, Victor, who is very talkative, keeps on talking to me.

“Who hurt you Alicia?” He points at my scar. I slowly raise my hand and caress it slowly.

“Injuries here and there Victor.” I say. He is all over me now.

“It looks nice. Makes you look extremely beautiful.” The conversation goes on. I really want to go away and think, maybe ask for opinions and advice from Benjamin. He is much like my father and I wouldn't take a step like the one Drake is suggesting without Benjamin's word.

I want to rise up and go but Drake is through with the phone and he joins us at the couch.

“There is nothing much to think about Alicia. The moon goddess had this planned from the time we were born. You are my mate from now until the end of time.” He says.

“That's great Drake. I like her already.” Says Victor. I can see that it will not be easy to disentangle myself from this, but I have to.

“Excuse me Alpha, sorry, Drake,” I muster all my energy and speak. I have found out that if I let the conversation with Victor to continue it will be very difficult to disengage. Drake and Victor all look at me, waiting patiently for my next word. I carefully compose my speech.

“This has found me unawares and I can't act upon it without thinking about it. Please give me some time to do so. I promise that I will be here in the pack if you need me.” Drake looks at me with unbelieving eyes, but I return the look with pleading eyes.

“Please.” I add. They're all wordless. The silence reigns for some time and my wish is to find myself outside the pack house.

“Please don't go. Stay here with us please.” Victor is almost crying, but I stand my ground. Drake stands up and I follow suit.

“No problem Alicia. No problem. You can go.” He says as he goes back to his chair.

    DRAKEI can't believe what Alicia has just done. I don't know whether her actions are equal to a rejection or not. If it's a rejection then it will be too bad. As the Alpha, and as a man, it would have been better if I was the one doing the rejection.There is however something I don't understand. Where is her wolf or why is it not responding? Usually, when mates meet, it's their respective wolves that feel the attraction.My wolf already identified her as my mate, so why didn't her's do the same?

    ALICIAWhen I get home it's already late in the evening and everyone is worried about my lateness. I never stay out late and my routine is well known. Besides, I have duties assigned to me and I am expected to play my part. I find Benjamin watching TV with David. Melissa is in the kitchen.“Hi guys. Sorry I am late.” I say as I walk towards them. Melissa hears my voice and joins us, very happy to see me.“Hey dear.” She speaks. “I was almost about to call you. Dinner is ready. Come help me in serving.” She pulls me into the kitchen and we start with preparations. The sweet aroma of the food reminds me that I am starving.“I know you are eager to find out where I spent the day.” I break the silence at the dining table. I have now silenced my hunger pangs and I feel like talking. What I have gone through is not something I can keep away from my family anyway.“Yes please. I'll be only too glad to hear that.

Classes are going to start at midmorning so I have some time alone to do my studies.There are no other students and I take advantage of the silence and delve into my books, but some shadow stands in front me. I think of telling whoever it is to walk away and let me study, but when I look up and find out who it is, I give up. Maybe I should just go back home and come back when classes start.“Hi Scarface.” Bernice says with a sly smile on her face. Behind her is another girl whose name I can't recall.“What do you want this time?” I ask her, cutting to the chase. Her smile changes into a sneer and I can see the contempt that she has for me, it's so tangible. I wonder what it is that I did to her.“You think you are so smart, don't you? But the truth is that you are just a big piece of crap.” She says to the amusement of the girl behind her who grins from ear to ear as she has

We are together in his office and he's seated behind his big desk while I sit on the couch.After the scene in school he asked the administration to give severe punishment to Bernice and Tiffany. As for me, he told me to come with him to his office and I was frightened all along the way. I thought that he was coming to read me the riot act and banish me from the pack. This alone instilled so much fear in me because Benjamin and his children were my family now and I couldn't fathom leaving them.“I am so sorry for allowing my anger to take control of me. I promise that I won't let that happen again.” I say. He scribbles something on an open file on his desk then looks up to face me.“What really happened?” He asks as he puts down his pen. I narrate to him everything, starting with the taunting by Bernice and the insults. I stress the point that all these actions against me happen without any provocation.“W

Somewhere within the compound someone is cooking a nice meal, my nostrils can tell me that. I am enjoying my life because I have finally found my mate. It's my wolf I should be celebrating really because after being absent for so long she is now active. She is the one who has led me to this mate and I am very grateful.I can sense his scent, a very intoxicating one, as he walks around the house and I am waiting patiently for him to come out so that I can meet him. I wonder why his wolf has not alerted him of my presence but I am willing to wait for as long as it takes until when he will come out. I have waited for this day for too long and I am glad that it has finally come.What makes me happy is that my mate is a person of means. His compound is so tidy.

It's not compulsory, but for every student who wants to train.We are all given some simple tasks to perform so that the best among us can be chosen. Exercises range from sit ups, press ups, jumping jacks and many more for girls. For men it's weight lifting and body building. Those who can lift heavy weights are given first chances, then other exercises are conducted on the others.Finally, we are told to run around the field. Those who finish first are given an opportunity to be among the best. I fail in all the categories, and so does Amos because we end up in the same category. We find some time to laugh at ourselves at some corner after the selection has been done.“Amos! I can't believe that you are so weak. You can't lift a fifty kilogram weight and you can't run?” I ask in jest, knowing only too well that I am no better.“I don't care. I may be weak in athletics and physic

I look around and all I can see is an vast plain, shrouded in endless spires of mist.“Am I in heaven? Then does that mean that I died?” I mutter to myself.Then it dawns on me that I am actually dead. Maybe I am somewhere in heaven's holding chamber, being cleared to get in. This explains the lack of energy in me. I am in the spiritual realm, I am no longer on earth, my body must have died.Everything comes back to me and I remember how my body suffered on earth. The wolves bane in my blood, the bruises and the substance Eric injected into my veins. My body couldn't hold all that poison, and that's how it died. I break into tears, tears of agony, of hatred. I should not have died before exacting revenge on Eric. I had vowed to teach him a very good lesson for what he did to me when he rejected me years ago.

All in all the rogue army was beaten to a pulp and if they manage to rise again then I'll applaud their spirit. By the time we left the battleground there were about a hundred of their fighters dead and a large number wounded. Their top commanders had escaped or hidden from the Juggernaut that was our army. Whatever had motivated us should stay with us even today and into the future.However we suffered losses too and our biggest loss was the death of one of our leaders, the Gamma of Lazarus' pack. He had charged at Andrew Waters with at least four of our men. Andrew had injured the men and struck a lethal blow on the Gamma, killing him on the spot. We learned of his death very late in the evening because we came back late. His trusted men brought his body home and his family and the whole pack were inconsola

    ALICIA Later in the night the chains that pin me to the wall are removed and I am put into hand cuffs. Two other people come in, carrying a small table that they place at a corner a short distance away from me. As they walk out I notice an assortment of weapons on top of the table. They include knives, razor blades, scalpels and some other crude weapons. I know what is going to follow.“Alicia, I bring you a visitor. Be kind to him." Abed says. The two men consult for a while but I don't hear what they say. Abed walks out immediately and I hear his footsteps as they fade into the corridor.“Alicia, as you can see, I am here to persuade you. My name is Dwayne and I am here to replace Abed who has been given some other assignments. I am a bit reasonable and if you cooperate you will find that I am a cool guy." He says. I keep quiet. He starts circling the cell. “My role here is very simple." He says from behind me. “I want you to denounce Drake as your mate, and once you do that I wil

I can sense that Andrew is watching us, so I see no need to alert him.“Wait!” He growls in the darkness. “Where are you taking my sister?” No one answers him. I see him struggling to get up, but he's handcuffed from behind.“Touch her and I'll kill you with my bare hands Eric. Do anything to her and you will regret you loser!” He shouts. Eric walks in just as we approach the door.“Shut up Andrew. You are going to die, having outlived your usefulness. You sabotaged our mission and helped your sister to kill our warriors. I'd worry about myself if I were you.” Eric taunts him before walking behind us, then locking the door. I can still he

She still lies on the stretcher she was brought in as Alpha Eric assesses the damage or what is left in our camp.
