"Today, I'll be teaching you defense moves," Alasdair's voice rang out in the forest, slightly far away from the pack. Joanna had been informed to prepare for training to win the battle challenge she had accepted. She was at a disadvantage because she wouldn't be able to change into her wolf form due to being heavily pregnant. This was a great advantage Melissa had over her. Currently, Micah and Alasdair were trying their possible best to explain the details of defense methods to Joanna who looked like she'd fall asleep anytime soon.The pregnant lady was currently leaning on the trunk of a tree, looking as if her soul had left her body. "That's it! I can't take it anymore! What have you only done? Why are you tired? You were only asked to defend and not to attack but you're here looking like you had just fought a battle," Micah hissed in anger while Joanna batted her lashes at him , giving him a small smile."Well...I guess you've done alot," Micah succumbed in a daze, attracted
Seconds later, Micah was on his feet, staring warily around the forest while Alasdair also released a growl of his in warning.Among them all, Joanna caught a whiff of the intruders scent and her eyes widened in pure shock.She immediately pulled the tiny bag she had been holding and brought out a bottle from it.As fast as possible, she drank a sip of it and closed it back before rising to her feet.Just then, she heard the Crunching of dried sticks behind her. Joanna didn't need anyone to tell her that the intruders were now behind her. She saw Alasdair about to change but what bothered her the most was to leave this place. She stared directly into Alasdair's eyes, still standing where she was and whispered, 'Please take me home.'He frowned, still releasing a warning growl to the wolves, expecting them to back off. He could see the look in their eyes. On one hand they were scared of him and on the other hand, they were in need of something. The question was what did they want? He
For the past two days since the unprecedented appearance of the wolves, Joanna had watched listlessly as Alasdair had tried to figure out whom they were. The poor Alpha thought the wolves had reminded Anna of what she had passed through which led to her shivering. If only he knew they were the exact group of people that brought fear to her.She was currently lounging on the sofa in the living room, listlessly Crunching on some fries with her body leaning on Micah. This was how close the both of them had gotten for the past two days since the attack. "Are you okay?" He asked, rubbing her hair gently and Joanna snuggled into his embrace, enjoying his touch on her hair. No one had ever touched her hair like he did. They all called her a freak all because of her hair and if someone had told her that there'd be a day when a man whom she has only known for no less than a week would touch her hair like it was the prettiest thing he had ever touched,Joanna would have denied it. She was thank
"Hell no! Why would you even think towards that side. What makes you think I'm in love with her? I do love her as a friend but you know I don swing this way. Man! What's gotten into you this morning? You're acting unusual. Firstly, spying on us and now asking me this!" Micah shook his head , staring at Alasdair with hooded eyes, silently mocking him."I was only asking the obvious," Alasdair coughed awkwardly. At that moment, he didn't look like the Alpha who was stern or strong. He looked more like a kitten afraid of getting scolded. "Tsk! The obvious you see is something else," Micah mocked, still holding Joanna tightly to him."We found something," Mark suddenly interrupted, walking into the house as he pushed his glasses up."Drop it," Alasdair ordered. His voice cold and unfeeling. Micah raised a brow in surprise and stared at him."You really are doing this, aren't you?" He smirked, gazing questioningly at Alasdair who shrugged his shoulders in reply."I guess I have no choice.
It was finally the D-Day. The sun was unusually bright today and Joanna was currently snoring away on her bed even as the sun peeked. She was oblivious to the continuous knocks on her door as she smiled happily even in her sleep."Jo-an-na!" Micah's hysteric yell did nothing to alleviate the sleeping beauty's sleep. Instead, she changed position, curling herself on the bed and hugging the blanket tightly to her body. "Oh my goodness!" Micah gasped in exasperation and tiredness as he watched Joanna sleep. "Haha, is she really sleeping at this time when everyone is on edge, worried for her?" Mark chuckled, tilting his head to the side and staring at Joanna with amusement in his eyes. "This isn't funny! She hasn't even showered yet!" He grumbled, immediately walking towards Joanna.Without caring, he harshly pulled the blanket off her body, hoping that would wake her but surprisingly, Joanna blindly searched for her pillow and hugged it go herself as she continued to snore away. Mi
Note; I must say, there might be a few errors but the content is understandable. If you're one seat hing for a book without little errors then this book is not for you. "No! Hell no! I disagree, she's definitely not wearing this to fight!" Alasdair's voice thundered in the living room while Joanna and Micah both rolled their eyes at this."I also had the same reaction when I saw this clothes but looking at it now, it's not so bad," She added, shrugging her shoulders as she cat walked down the stairs. "Can you even call those clothes? They barely cover a thing!" Alasdair grunted, staring Joanna up and down, not taking his eyes off her enchanting figure despite her large bump."Tsk! That's the problem with you. What she's wearing is a sports bra and shorts, for females if I may add," Micah clapped excitedly rolling his eyes at Alasdair's blatant dismissal and hate."Yeah, I like this," Joanna nodded her head excitedly giving Alasdair a small smile as she got to the end of the stairs.
Joanna was hit directly on her cheek, blood spurting out of her mouth. She staggered in her steps, almost falling due to her huge belly.Micah had already risen back to his feet and was about running to meet her. His face was laced with worry and anger. He was worried about Joanna and angry at Melissa for attacking her in that way. Deep down, he had expected something of such but when the reality hit him in the face, he was finding it hard to accept. Fortunately, Joanna regained her footing and wiped the trail of blood away from the corner of her mouth. She raised her head slowly and flashed a small smile at Melissa. Her smile contained no sincerity, it was that of malice and mockery. There were murmurings amongst the crowd, most beginning to doubt Joanna's fighting stance. The few of them who had formerly believed in her were all starting to waver from their choices.Melissa felt her spine heat up the moment she met eyes with Joanna's bloody smile.For a moment, she was distracted
***As from this chapter, Joanna's wolf would be given a new name(unaware if there was a name before). New name of Joanna's wolf is- Yara.Nevertheless, their expression was no match for Melissa's. She could swear on her grandparents grave that she had never expected this outcome. Her wolf whimpered in fright as soon as Joanna's white wolf stared straight at her. She crouched her head low at Joanna's feet, not daring to move about, long gone was the arrogance she once showed. There was no trace of it anymore and while everyone was still reeling in their shock, a loud howl of one of the pack's guard was heard. It was a battlecry!Alasdair immediately jumped out of his seat. Meanwhile, Micah had already began urging the women and kids to the safehouse they usually stayed in till any battle they had was over. This was their safety measure as they weren't willing to incur any loss of their offsprings. The pack warriors who were gathered amongst the crowd immediately spread out, each of t
Rising, Joanna realized she was still in the same position she was in before the dizziness took over. She didn't need to be told that was happening to her was no ordinary thing."Mother this isn't normal....," Joanna whispered to her mother while the latter nodded her head in understanding. " I know sweetheart and I believe the only person with such immense power, able to do this to you is none other than Celine, she who you've been in contact with" Stella explained to Joanna who now had an incredulous look on her face."Waaaa....," Alan's loud cry of pain was enough to snap Joanna out of her thoughts. Balling her fists by her side, she slowly removed herself away from. the group, moving slowly towards the witches."What did you do to me and my son?" She hissed, glaring straight at Celine. "Hm, you know what annoys me the most about you? You act like the superior one, walking like everyone is below you. I hate you," Celine seemed to have lost control as she raised a knife in the air,
"Who's next?" Swinging his sword on his shoulder, Elias smiled. Immediately, the young witches stepped backwards in fear, too scared to put to practice the spell they had been taught. "Cowards!" Helen's mother yelled as she came to stand in front of them. "Give up Joanna and we would let her baby go!" She yelled loudly,staring at Elias straight in the eye. Her thoughts were unknown but just as they all thought, Alan was being used as a bargaining chip."How do you expect us to give her up when her son is nowhere in sight?" Mark hissed, glaring at the witches who looked like a colony of ants. Unhappy with what was said by Mark, Helen's mother glared at him but the young Beta didn't flinch. He couldn't be bothered with the nuisance of a witch and was more bothered about Joanna and his mate. He couldn't see Helen too which further made him on edge but he couldn't show it for fear of alerting the enemies. Slowly, Celine walked out from behind the forest, standing right behind the c
This left Aric with one choice which was to kill every witch he came across as fast as he could.Soon enough, he went unto action.Elias and Stella both noticed Altair who was planning on killing another guard and immediately went to stop him. They both directed the guards to kill the other witches while they fought with Altair who seemed displeased by their actions."Why is no one taking my side?" Altair screamed blindly as he fought with them . He was seconds away from changing to his wolf form and they could see it. "... because you're doing the wrong thing. No one is going to take your side," Stella yelled as she dodged his incoming blow.Her words seemed to further anger Altair as he charged towards her once more, leaving Elias out of it. Midway,he changed into his wolf form while Stella transformed to the creature that once haunted Joanna. Everyone on the battlefield could see Stella change and the moment she did, the witches who were starting to have the upper hand all star
Before the coven of witches arrived, the Red moon pack members all arrived safely, with none of the members missing. They were all ushered into Alasdair's home which already contained the Blue moon pack members. "Joanna, you need to stay in. I promise, we would rescue your son and bring him back to you," Sebastian spoke, finally braving up to speak to her."No, stay out of my way. This is my fight," Joanna hissed while he immediately retreated."No, this is our fight!" Mark yelled as he threw his fist into the air."Fine, just be safe," Sebastian gave up stopping her while Joanna ignored his words.Mark was carried outside, behind the flowers where his body was hidden.This was a big risk they had all taken to ensure he'd get back to normal as soon as they spotted Helen, the one who put him in this condition.Althea who had also been locked in Alasdair's house during the previous battle was allowed to join the fight. No one dared to stop her since they all knew her main aim. Alasda
Upon waking up, Joanna realized she had fallen asleep right in the living room just as Elias had spoken."What was that? Please don't tell me you fell asleep while he was talking?" Aric groaned, trying to restrain his laughter but it was fruitless."Hm, de.. definitely not. I just had something to think of. For how long was I out?" Joanna awkwardly questioned, hoping to change the topic as soon as possible. "Sure, no one here is a fool. We were all able to tell you fell asleep for what...? Slept for a total of 15 minutes. I mean, who does that?" Aric continued to sass when Joanna had to keep her mouth shut despite ber shock. She couldn't help but wonder how she was able to have that type of dream in this situation making her seem like she was deranged and had no conscience.If anyone amongst them knew of the dream she just had, Joanna was sure she was going to be eaten by them.She peeked a glance at her mother, hoping to catch the slightest bit of reaction from her to see if she ha
Joanna's POV;I didn't need to be told that I was yet again dreaming in the midst of war. Moreover, why do my dreams always have to be wet dreams I knew would never be fulfilled. Was Sebastian sweet? Definitely not. Was Elias sweet? I really didn't know.Was Alasdair sweet? Yes, but then, why was it that my dream wasn't about him? Everytime I closed my eyes to sleep, I was always ending up in Dreamland. Have I been cursed? I didn't know but then, I recalled something and I hoped at this point, whatever it was that was going to happen in my dreams, my mother shouldn't be watching. Now that she had made herself known beside me, she didn't need to keep watching me in my dreams.After several failed attempts of trying to wake myself and leave Dreamland, I gave up on this idea and rather focused on the situation at hand. How did I even fall asleep in the first place? I couldn't understand this as my thoughts were all jammed up. A touch on my bare shoulder was enough to send me to an ent
At this, Joanna didn't know if she really knew him or he had been pretending. Either ways, now she was starting to doubt her judgment on people."Don't be surprised. He has always been like this," Stella hit Joanna's arm lightly and smiled at her."How did you....Hold up, did you know him before now?" Joanna questioned tentatively."Silly girl, how did you think he was able to accept you unto his home without any hassle? Although he is kind but Elias never trusts anyone to that extent," Stella laughed while Joanna seemed more shocked." Are you trying to tell me that you asked him to take me in?" "Of course," Stella laughed, pulling Joanna to sit."Since when did that happen?" "Unfortunately, your mother wouldn't have the time to narrate the story to you because they are near.." Elias interrupted as he took out his shiny two swords and stared at them.
**18+, killing scene, read at your risk"Things happened after your disappearance," Althea spoke and smiled at Joanna but the latter could see the worry in the little girl's eyes.Joanna didn't need to know what was making her worried and once again, she was overwhelmed with fear; the fear of where her child was."Don't worry, your son will is fine," Her mother coaxed, rubbing her arms lightly.Upon hearing the confidence in her voice, Joanna was surprised as to why."How are you so sure he's fine?" She couldn't help but ask."I'm sure because they can't do anything to hurt him. Don't you know your son has more powers than you? Thereby, making him stronger," Stella laughed while Joanna couldn't help but gulp her saliva.She had already had an inkling as to the fact that Alan had the same powers as her but she didn't realize he had more of it than she did."Aside that, he's just a little boy. What self defense does he know?" Aric asked as he stared at Althea from the corner of his eyes.
"He was taken away by a disguised witch that came for revenge.""What! A disguised witch? What is going on? What do you mean?" Alasdair asked in a hurry as he ran his fingers through his hair. It was at this moment Joanna was a le to see the fatigue in his eyes and now, she felt like she had come back to square one, like the powerless little girl she once was. "Before we continue this conversation,we need to get him inside. It's a long story...," Elias spoke, pointing at Micah who had stopped moving and his eyes were tightly shut. Immediately, they all made their way into Alasdair's house, as they shut the door tightly.Altair was smart enough to protect the house with a spell that didn't allow outsiders to hear what was going on. Indeed, the blue moon pack where everyone treated each other like families had become a pack where they all had to be careful of whom to trust."Now, can someone tell me what the hell is going on here? I'm really so confused," Mark cursed out, slapping hi
