After the meeting, the Troll elder sent a messenger to Black Moon Pack to inform Austin of their findings, but the African elder was a step ahead. The messenger was found by his people and killed. The same thing happened to the messengers the witch and the vampire elders sent. The African elder was preventing the messages from getting to their people and them going into hiding before the Goddess as they call her can find and punish them.
The elders were under the impression that their people got the message and made the necessary arrangements in case things did not go well. Today was the day the African elder has arranged for the witch and the vampire elders to meet with Shannon at his friend the alpha’s pack. They arrived in Africa the day before and the ball was to happen the following week.
Shannon was just told that there were some elders coming to the pack for a visit before the annual ball. She was told that she had to attend the meeting with the alpha, bet
Kieran has a small smile on his face, he was happy to have heard her voice, but he missed her presence next to him. The others, however had shocked expressions on their faces. “Does she know?” asked elder Israel, the alpha shook his head. “No, I did not tell her anything.” He answered. “What are you talking about?” asked Nina but no one paid attention to her.“It doesn’t matter is she knows or not, what she said is the truth and we all know it. the eclipse is next week, and her powers are becoming more prominent. She can feel then, the authority in her voice and how she was not even affected by us should tell us something.” Kieran said, he kept looking in the direction she disappeared to wanting to go after her and it took everything in him not to get up from that chair and go after her.“What is going on?” asked Nina frustrated that no one was telling her anything. “Would you please shut up! You a
When the alpha and beta came back from walking out the elders. The beta went to check on pack business while the alpha went inside the conference room upon seeing his mate still sitting there looking deep in thoughts. He pulled a chair and sat next to her. “Nina.” He called for her and she turned her head slowly to look at him then back out the window where she was looking.“I could not tell you Nina, it was not my place to do so.” He told her but she ignored him like he was not talking to her. “I know you are angry, but I could not say anything, the elder forbade me from saying anything.” She looked at him with anger in her eyes. “I am not angry, but I am mad as hell. You used me to get her to join this pack as soon as you found out who she was right? The phone call that day when you came back from getting your wallet, the sudden change in attitude towards her. you used me!” she stood up and moved away from him.Pain fla
The day of the ball came it was held at the conventions centre in Cape Town. Alphas, their betas, and gammas with their mates. Flew in from different countries to be present on the day. Kieran was the first of the elders to arrive at the venue, but he stayed in the car waiting for his mate to arrive so that he can ask her to be his date for the night and for them to get a chance to talk.Austin also arrived with his beta Eliot and their temporary alpha Sandy. Everyone was well dressed and looking good this night. Nina’s mate left the packhouse angry after finding out that she is not going with him but Shannon, he had no choice to but leave with his beta and gamma. He was grumpy all the way to the convention centre.“I am going to wait for the introductions to be done then I will leave,” Austin told Sandy and Eliot. “Can’t you stay? I feel like you should stay.” Sandy told him; she did not know the reason, but something told her that
The ball started but the people were walking on eggshells, they kept their small groups alert as if something were going to happen. Others stood with the alphas of the pack they were allied to but no one else. Kieran was enjoying having his mate so close to him and the fact that everyone played far from them. When Shannon saw how tense it was, she decided to say something.She moved away from Kieran, but he followed not wanting to part from her, they both climbed the stage, and she took the microphone then brought it close to her lips. “Look at how the Bloodsucker is looking at our Luna, it’s like he is looking at his next meal!” Eliot complained, Austin was looking at the same thing and he did not like it. But he could not say anything, she was free and could do anything she wanted.“Good evening.” Her soft angelic voice fell, and everyone kept quiet looking at her. “I can’t feel the tension in the air, and I know that it is b
“Shan, my heart, please don’t reject me. Please, sweetheart, give me a chance, am sorry for everything I have done my love please forgive me.” He broke down and cried. His hands-on his knees as he knelt and his head hanging low with his shoulders moving up and down as he cried. ‘Shan, are you really going to reject mate? I know I don’t feel the bond between us because Blake is not with him, but he is sorry.’ Said Lucy sounding sad for him.‘His parents did not reject me when I needed them most, so why would I reject him for this, it’s done, and he acknowledges his mistakes.’ She told her then sighed. “Austin.” She called out to him and he shook his head. “Austin looks at me.” She demanded and he lifted his head and their eyes locked. His eyes were red, and his cheeks were stained with tears.“I know that I don’t deserve your forgiveness or a second chance, but I am selfish, I want
The two were left looking in the direction Kieran disappeared to, Austin sighed then looked at Shannon who still had her eyes fixed at the direction the vampire elder disappeared to. “Is he going to be a problem?” asked Austin, she slowly turned to look at him. “The question should be, are you both going to be a problem?” she asked with her eyebrow raised looking at Austin.“He calls me a dog Shan.” Complained Austin making Shannon chuckle. “The same way you call him a blood-sucking vampire.” She told her and he looked at her in disbelief. “Are you taking his side?” he asked but she shook her head. “I am not taking any sides but you both call each other names.” Austin sighed. “Are you leaving with him now?” he did not want to be away from her again.Only the Goddess knows when he was going to see her again if she left. “I am leaving am tired.” His heart sank when she said th
The alpha meeting was in full swing the following morning, Austin was there participating like it was the first time being there, he mind liked his sister and beta when they got to the meeting and told them that Blake was back. they were both happy for him and Sandy only went there for formality but as soon as they get back to Black Moon she will step down and give the position back to her brother.While the meeting in process discussing treaties and alliances Tia the witch elder got a call, she declined the call and focused on the meeting. But the person would not stop calling that she excused herself and went out of the meeting room then answered the call as soon as the door closed behind her. “What is the matter?” she asked annoyed that the person could not tell that she was busy when she did not pick up the first two times he called.“My apologies elder Tia but we have a problem.” Tia did not like the sound of his voice when he said that, th
Nina and Shannon were standing outside the packhouse after Nina helped Shannon with packing. They were talking about how much they are going to miss each other when they saw an unfamiliar car coming through the gates. They looked at each other wondering who the person could be. “Is your mate picking you up now?” asked Nina looking at the car.“Yes, but not now, the meeting is not over yet,” Shannon told her. “I am not expecting anyone, not unless the alpha is expecting someone,” Nina said looking like she is thinking. The car came then stopped in the parking not far from them, the driver came out and opened the door for Tia. She came out then walked towards the two women.They looked at each other then back at her, they had the same question in mind, shouldn’t she be in the meeting? “Good afternoon dear Goddess.” She bowed her head as she greeted, Shannon saw her puffy eyes and wondered if something had happened. &l
“Bella, what did I say about you not letting the heart stop beating before you stop feeding on the animal?” asked Kieran frustrated but Bella shrugged. “It was beating a few seconds ago before I let it go, it was very slow though but technically I did not let the heart stop beating before I stopped feeding.” Answered six-year-old Bella with her green eyes glittering with amusement looking at her father.She was a beautiful young girl, fit, fast, greenest of eyes you would ever see, strong and mischievous with long black hair. Her father sighed when she answered without a care in the world. “Why do you always have to do that?” asked Kieran looking at his daughter. “It just feels so good when I feel their heartbeat getting slower and slower under my palm as I feed on them.” She answered with a smirk.‘Goddess! She is such a beast.’ Kieran thought looking at her moving away from him inspecting the dear she
It was the day of the Luna ceremony and everyone was excited. Girls and their mothers were busy fussing about their dresses, hair, and makeup. While they were still anxious about finding their mates from the pack that were invited to the ceremony, three of their allies were invited including alpha Nathaniel’s pack. Austin had spoken to Shannon that day and told her what was happening and she agreed to meet with them and put their minds at ease.At the meeting, she addressed the pack and told them that she had forgiven them for everything that had happened. They apologized for everything they put her through before and told her that they were happy that she was their Luna. After that the excitement of the even visible on everyone’s faces Sandy was more excited than anyone else, she was sure that she was going to find her mate.Shannon was sitting in Austin’s bedroom waiting for her Sandy to come and help her with her make-up and hair. She did not look
The sun that was peaking through the window made Shannon turn to the other side wanting to sleep some more when she felt a hand around her waist holding her tight and preventing her from moving around freely. She groaned as she opened her eyes blinking a few times before Austin’s scent filled her nostrils making her realise that it was him who was holding her and when she listened, she heard soft snores from behind her.She removed his arm around her slowly to avoid waking him then she turned properly, she saw the note and took it. She read it and smiled appreciating how thoughtful Kieran was. The events of the previous night came back and could not help the smile that made it’s wat to her face. She never thought that it would feel so good to have sex but now that she has done it. She wanted to do it again and experience that feeling again.‘Good morning Shan, am starving, do you mind getting up and feeding us now?’ Lucy greeted her through the
Kieran came out wearing ripped jeans and a shirt with the two buttons on the top open. Kieran was lean and tall. His slender legs packed with muscled and his long hair fell on his shoulders. He was very handsome with his pitch-black eyes that would turn red whenever he fed. Shannon stood and admired him as he spoke with Tia and telling her that they are leaving and making arrangements as to when they will meet again.Austin appeared around the corner where he was helping the troll in the burning of the bodies of his kind, he had on ripped jeans with a muscle top, he was a bit shorter than Kieran but not too short, the has broad shoulders and huge arms showing off his werewolf strength. His hair was cut short in a beautiful haircut, he had beautiful ocean green eyes.Shannon looked at her mates and could not help but thank the Goddess for the blessing. Her mate looked handsome and more importantly, they were hers. A year ago, she wouldn’t even dream of having a ma
After dinner it was time to deal with the people in the living room, Shannon did not know what punishments will best suit these people, she was not used to their way and did not know how they punished disloyalty. That is why she decided that it was best to let the respective elders be the ones to pass judgement and she would deal with the seer.They all walked to the living room and silence filled the room. One could see the worry in those people’s faces now that the time has come, frowns and beads of sweats were forming on their foreheads. While others pretended like they were not affected at all, like they cannot wait for it to be over and done with. But on the inside, they were just as worried as the rest of them.The seer has a smirk on his face when they entered the living room, the man thought that he still has cards he could play to come out of the situation. Shannon stood in front of everyone and addressed them. “I have decided to let your res
Shannon felt hot and when she tied to move, she felt something around her waist then she flutters her eyelashes then opened her eyes. She scanned the room and realized that it was Kieran’s room. The one she woke him up in when she came that morning before could look at who has his arm around her, the sweet scent of her mate told her who it was.She turned slowly careful not to wake him up then looked at him. He looked so peaceful and handsome when he slept. It was like she was seeing the man for the first time; he extended her hand and touched his face going around it with her finger as if she were trying to memorize every curve and every dent this man has. This has the first she really looked at the man and she could admit that the man really was handsome.“If you continue sending these pleasurable parks through my body then I will mate with you without the dog and am sure that he won’t like it,” he told her without opening his eyes. She
The troll elder, Tia, and the werewolf elder. Helped each other gather all the bodies of rogues and put them together so that they can burn them. Austin was busy lining up all the trolls and witches that were captured. “You think that you have won but you have not, a lot more is still coming dog and I suggest you go and look after your pack because they might be in more danger than you think.” Matias said to Austin.“I don’t the kind of creatures you are than turn on their own kind, we werewolves might have rogues, but their situation is different, it is due to them losing their mates and their wolves taking over turning them into what you have seen now. But with you, I fail to understand, there is no unity among your kind, and you turn against each other like nothing.” Austin told him making Matias huff.“So, you think werewolves are better just because they stand unity and family? I refuse to believe that because even some of your
When the two rogues were just inches from her face there was a bright blinding light that blinded everyone, and no one saw what happened as they covered their eyes from the light. Austin was the first to look when the light disappeared, and he saw her laying on the ground. He did not waste time and ran in her direction to see if she was okay. When he got to her, he saw that there two rogues were laying there by her side dead.But that did not put his heart at ease, he wanted to be sure that she was alright and that nothing happened to her. he kneeled and picked her up. He felt her breathing and sighed in relief. She was okay, that was all that mattered to him. The troll elder came towards him also looking like he has seen better days. “Is she alright?” asked the elder referring to Shannon.“She is but I think that she used a lot of her powers that they drained her energy and she fainted.” He answered walking towards the elder’s house, the
While the werewolf elder was still contemplating on what to do standing on Kieran’s door a mind link came through. ‘We are here, open the door.’ The elder sighed in relief and ran to the door to open. When the door opened the two wolves were standing there, a black and a white one. They complimented each other well and the elder could not help but admire the sight.He moved out of the way allowing the two dogs to walk in as Kieran would have called them. ‘We would shift but you don’t have clothes.’ Lucy told him. ‘I can take care of that.’ The elder left going to find them clothes as Tina and the others walked in. they bowed when they saw her. “Goddess.” They said in unison, Lucy’s eyes soften and let out a low growl of greeting.The elder came back with the clothes and showed them where to change. They went to change, and Tia asked. “Where is elder Kieran?” the werewolf elder looked away bef
