THE START OF A FRESH ERA.The festive atmosphere filled the grand hall of Crestwood Pack. The feast marked their triumph and the disappearance of the rebel danger. Laughter, cheers, and the delicious smell of a feast filled the room. Members of the pack and their allies mixed together, their expressions filled with relief and happiness.Kyra and Damon were in the midst of the festivities, their hands entwined while navigating through the throng. Damon's previous tense attitude had transformed into a feeling of pride and satisfaction. With Kyra beside him, he felt a deep satisfaction as they observed their community, their morale lifted following the difficult trial.However, amidst the festivities, a sinister undertone was developing. Damon was suddenly overcome by a feeling of discomfort, breaking his train of thought. He apologized to Kyra and felt a mysterious force drawing him towards the rooms where Melina was expected to be.While Damon neared the chambers, he could hear loud vo
THE UNWANTED AWAKENING. Kyra. "Grrrrrrrrghhhh."The most stupid and lousy alarm ever to be invented raised its noisy shrill sound above the chirping of the bird outside,both a combined effort to spoil my morning.For crying out loud.I know it's morning already but I needed some good sleep to keep me going.Lady night party at Audrey's wasn't a child's play,I needed my sleep more.Meet me Kyra Louisa MacPherson,spoilt rich heiress to Gemma Stella Macpherson.Stubborn - check,Rude - double check, very disobedient you sure know what to add there and guess what I forgot to mention - TadahMy looks ,I'm so beautiful, very beautiful,my pink painted room have about four mirrors and I'm planning on buying an additional two.But for now,I need my beauty sleep, school is out of the question now.Oops,I forgot today is Saturday.The morning light danced through the thin line of the expensive curtains, filtering and casting in a golden hue over my lavish bedroom as I lay nestled like a caterpil
THE REVELATION. Kyra. I scowled at her,my anger surging, my pride wounded by her guts. "You have no right to order me around," I retorted, she knew I hated her .Infact the feeling was super duper mutual.She stared down at me like it was my fault that there was war in heaven."I'm going nowhere." I said my tone was laced with venom,so much . "I'll come and see her when I'm good and ready.When I'm super ready,when I'm done with breakfast.And besides tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday I need to sleep then plan for it.""I wonder where that kind hearted woman got you from,you can breakfast while your mother is dying ." She turned on her heels and began walking to the door."Come with me Sara." She called to the maid."We have got work to do."I know nothing was wrong with my mother.Other than a little headache from time to time and that persistent cough which had refused to leave.She just can't die,my life would be meaningless.They just wanted me to come see her.God.I groaned i
GOODBYES. Kyra. “My time is short,I don't have much time,Kyra,you must listen to me attentively."She coughed.And. Could see it just as she pressed the white handkerchief ,I could see it then,the handkerchief which she had been holding was stained with red stains.My eyes danced wildly,I sniffed, feeling the hot stung of tears."The wealth, everything doesn't belong to the Blane family ...He will be coming for you tomorrow to reclaim everything here which includes you,you are to pay the debt."What the hell ?What was mom talking about ?Debt? Reclaim? Will he be coming for me ?I don't understand."I'm not going with a stranger." I protested , balling my fists."I'm not going with anybody and I'm definitely not going to the trenches."But Mom said nothing,it seemed like she was giving puffs of her life little by little and as if my questions were making her lose her strength. "Who is coming for me? What debt do I owe?" I persisted,I was beginning to cry now .I thought about my wh
THE ARRIVAL. Kyra. Eighteen; the age when most girls were dreaming of prom dresses and college acceptance letters but for me it was a countdown to a fate I couldn't escape. It all began like a dream. Just yesterday I was told I was going to pay for a debt I did not owe. I stood looking out of my window watching the early morning rain send pangs of sound on the roof making me shiver as I waited for him. As the clock struck 12:00 in the afternoon as if the rain was waiting for it to make a shrill sound, the sound of rain pounding against the windows suddenly began to pour slowly.I have spent the eve of my birthday drowning in my fears, in my memories and in my diary. I stared down at my beautiful designer dress, a sense of uneasiness settled over me like a suffocating blanket It seems like I was lost in my thoughts or lost down memory lane for as soon as the sun began its journey through the sky there was a knock at my door. I froze my heart pounding in my chest as I struggled
AWAY. Kyra. “Very well then .” He said then turning to Rosa in a slow prideful kind of way,he asked “Has she been prepared to come with me ?’“certainly.” Rosa replied almost immediately there was a kind of sadness in her eyes as she looked at me and held my hands gently. “You'll be going with him darling.”She said “I… I don't understand.” I stammered my voice barely more than a whisper .”Going with him to where?” I asked.The loosk from him and Rosa made me realized that my question was stupid “To his Pack , Bloodshadow Pack.” Rosa answered Normal me would have protested, stamped my feet on the floor and throw tantrums, but I don't know what was happening ,as if a spell had been cast on me. I couldn't do anything just staring at him .My heart kept on pounding I couldn't understand what was going on .I wanted to go back to sleep, go back to the dream and wake up on my own and realize today was Monday and that I was having a chemistry test which I didn't prepare for becaus
REFUSAL. Damon. The scene blurred into a green and brown haze as I gazed out my window. My mind was elsewhere, focused on the slender, blonde girl sitting next to me. Kyra. My mate. My debt collector. When she found out that she wasn't giving up her old life, I couldn't help but think of the look on her face. Tears, desperation, and resignation. It was almost palpable, that's for sure. I felt a sense of guilt, but my reasoning quickly put it to rest. After all, this was a business transaction. Debt owed, debt paid. The car slowed, and I turned my attention to the sprawling estate in front of us. My mansion in Bloodshadow Pack was a marvel of modern architecture and it blended perfectly with nature. As Kyra saw the graciousness and beauty of the mansion, the manicured lawn, as well as sleek black cars parked in the driveway, I sensed her awe. I extended my hand to Kyra while we spoke.“ You'll receive the best possible treatment." I said but her mind was also faraway,a
THE OTHER SIDE OF HIM.Kyra. 'Why am I here?' I blurted out, my voice trembling with a mixture of fear and frustration. The Alpha – my mate, as he had so boldly declared – turned to face me, his piercing gaze cutting through the silence that had settled between us. "You're here because you're mine, Kyra," he said, his voice calm and measured. My heart raced, the weight of his words on my shoulders like a heavy load. "I've never agreed to that," I said weakly, the futility of my arguments already took a step closer, and I instinctively stepped back, my back hitting the ornate doorframe of the lavish bedroom he had shown me. "It's not important," he told her, his voice low and menacing. "Your mother's debt has been settled, and you are now my property." I swallowed hard, and my throat dry with fear. "It's unfair," I said, my eyes begging him to see the turmoil that engulfed me. "My dear," he replied, a hint of amusement lacing his voice, "life is rarely fair. He added, a hin
