The trio soon arrived at Alasdair's mansion. Helen's reaction was normal upon seeing such building and Joanna deduced that she was either from a wealthy home or was used to seeing big buildings like Alasdair's. Meanwhile, Alasdair who was quietly trotting behind the two women was like an offender. If anyone were to see him now, they'd think he was a man who had managed to anger his pregnant wife. He was somehow finding ways to speak to Joanna without allowing Helen to suspect her.Only if he knew that Joanna who looked like she was friendly with Helen was only using this to escape from Alasdair because she knew his intentions. The thought of being the third party or destroyer of a relationship made her unhappy. She knew the feeling of being ignored by one's mate and taking another as one's mate and she wasn't so heartless to allow another woman pass through it. Though, there was this stinging pain in her chest that kept reminding her of reality. "Come in. I believe the others would
Joanna's POV;I knew little about the annual celebration but that wasn't the main point of my current heartbreak. Hearing that Alasdair's pack would be hosting the event was like a whole load of tipper had overturned on me. I was trying so hard not to show how I was feeling because I didn't want Alasdair to be suspicious of me. Moreover, I had been pretending not to remember a thing, then how was i supposed to tell him I didn't wish to attend the celebration. Hell no! I had no choice.The thought of him finding his mate made my decision have a more solid point. Though I felt bad, I wasn't going to take the happiness of a lady like me which someone took from me because I definitely knew how it felt. It wasn't a sweet feeling I'd like a female like me to ever experience. Though, i formerly had no idea about the status of what I and Alasdair's relationship was, now I was sure of it. He is my savior and I was the one who was rescued.I opened my mouth and closed it, trying to form words b
It was finally the day. The hustling and bustling in the pack could make anyone who hated noise scream in anger. Alasdair was happy about this because it seemed like his pack had been brought to life once again. He thought it'd be hard getting his pack members to being cheerful again but it seemed like he had just gotten the right dose of drug to give them.He was currently supervising and checking on the important things needed for the celebration with his hands behind his back. Little pups ran around him, cheering and laughing while a little girl bravely held a flower out to him with her head slightly bowed. Alasdair was unable to resist such cuteness making him squat while he placed his palm on the little girl's head and rubbed it affectionately before he took hold of the flower."Thank you, princess," he thanked her, sniffing the flower a little.Immediately, the little girl's face went red and out of embarrassment, she speedily ran away from him. Meanwhile, as Joanna walked ar
Out of embarrassment, Melissa ran away from the crowd. The crowd who were gathered shook their heads at her retreating figure before dispersing. Thankfully, Joanna bared no brunt in their tiny murmurs while Micah was hopping mad at Melissa's bravery. He knew the young lady was up to no good the moment she called for Joanna."...and I thought she was sincere about this weeks ago. Looks like I was wrong once again," Alasdair's voice suddenly rang out from behind the trio.One could see the twinkle in Helen's eyes as soon as she heard his voice. Joanna noticed this and bit her lips. This was the kind of love life she had dreamt of having but life had chosen to play a cruel game on her. If it wasn't because of the baby she was carrying, Joanna knew she'd have become a shell of herself. It seemed like fate was not so cruel as she thought. "So, she did ask of Joanna. Very funny," Micah cursed at her in his mind while thinking of her shameless acts. Had she done that to gain mercy from Al
Just as they were contemplating whether to call him or not, a sickly voice rang out."What is happening here?" Alasdair and Sebastian didn't stop their intense eye contact even when they heard his voice. They still both stood in a fierce stance, none of them willing to back down. Soon, the one who spoke came into view, his walking stick being his third leg and his head full of grey hair. His face was smooth and at the same time slightly wrinkly but that didn't stop one from seeing how beautiful his orbs were. They were a pair of golden orbs that glinted even as he stood in place. A brown woolen shawl was wrapped around his neck to prevent him from the cold while he was clad in thick clothes.Everything about the old man screamed 'Odd' but that was the main reason he was respected. He was a special kind of the werewolf lineage whose fur were so little that the cold could easily get to them."You really like getting into fights, don't you? Both of you?" He yelled out the last part. E
The duo were yet to realize that they now had a visitor."Who do you want to kill?"Standing behind them was Helen clad in a princess pink gown and just for a split moment, Micah noticed the cold look on her face before she switched back to her always cheerful expression. His lips tugged into a small unnoticeable smirk.'Caught you,' he whispered to himself."Ohh, planning to kill the bastard in the movie we're watching. How dare he rape a girl!" Micah immediately thought of a lie and Joanna threw him a side glance. She was thankful he was a great liar because if it was left to her, she'd have spewed everything out in shame."Oh really! What's the title? I really need good recommendations," Helen smiled and at that moment, Micah got tongue tied. What was he to say about the title."Ohh, the wanderers," Joanna butted in. Giving Helen a small smile. Micah stylishly pinched Joanna's palm in gratefulness because at that moment when Helen asked that question, all he wanted was a savior to
Micah stiffly turned around to stare at Sebastian. Both pair of eyes clashing like strong waves.Micah's hand moved backwards and held on tightly to Joanna's hand. The fact that both their palms were sweaty due to nervousness wasn't helping matters. Behind Micah, Joanna was shivering out of fear. She could smell him and all her wolf wanted to do was to forever bury themselves in his embrace. No matter how much she hated him, he was still her mate."Greetings,Alpha Sebastian," Micah greeted stiffly, giving a curt and side-bent bow. Meanwhile, Sebastian couldn't be bothered by the obvious disrespect as all he wanted to see was the face of the woman behind Micah as all that things didn't matter to him. Wherever Sebastian went, he always garnered attention and this was no exception. Alasdair believed the woman behind Micah had a white hair of head just like his mate and he was hel bent on seeing the woman's face. He had his doubt about her not being his mate because of her obvious dif
Sebastian knew he couldn't act unreasonably by insisting on knowing the identity of the woman behind Alasdair and then, he had no other option but to admit defeat. As soon as he turned away, towards where he had come from, as fast as possible, the crowd dispersed, none of them daring to say a word about him even as he walked out of the hall.Finally, Micah recovered his breath and rose to his feet. He lightly pushed Alasdair aside and took Joanna in his arms, checking if she was fine.To others, his caring action only made his claim about her being his mate look plausible. They were very well aware of Micah's sexual preference which made most of them disdain him but now that he had gotten a female as his mate, they all felt relieved and those who formerly wanted nothing to do with him came forward to congratulate him.Of course, Micah knew the main reason why they wanted to associate themselves with him. It wasn't because they thought Joanna was his mate but because of the power he he
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
