Joanna's POV;Do you still remember when I said being poke by sticks awake was the worst thing that could be used to wake someone, well, I'll tell you, I was lying to you.The worst one of all was to feel your legs and ears being examined like you were some rare specie.I could feel my thigh, ankle, knee, nose, eyebrows and mouth being poked. It took everything to remain where I was and continued to play dead.I couldn't believe that a mere tree trunk was enough to knock me out. I had no idea where I was and I didn't know if I was safe. I didn't even know if my baby was safe! I pretended to be unconscious and listened intently, waiting to know how many people were in the room aside the idiot touching and groping me like I was an apparatus."Is she still alive?"My jaw would have dropped to the floor if I wasn't pretending to be unconscious. I badly wanted to jump down from where I was and curse at the person who asked that question. Was I alive?!How dare he?I reigned in my temper,
It couldn't be any more awkward. The three doctors exchanged glances, not knowing what to do. They truly wanted to burst out of the door but they had been ordered that one person should always keep an eye on Joanna and her child.None of them were willing to stay due to embarrassment and at the moment, they decided to play a game of Rock, paper, scissors and the one who lost would be the one to stay.Although, Joanna's back was facing them, she could still make out what they were doing by staring at the mirror by her side which was few steps forward away from her. At this point, her view of humans changed once again. She shook her head in pity but stared at them with interest.Three minutes later, the only doctor that was left in the ward to stay with Joanna was the one who looked like he was the most gentle one among the three doctors. Moreover, he appeared younger and his stature made Joanna remember Micah whom she had also left behind in blue moon pack.She could vividly remember
Another day passed and it didn't seem like Joanna would be seen anytime soon. *****Waking up to the strange sound of the heart monitor beeping, Joanna groaned tiredly. She had no idea for how long she had been sleeping but one thing she was sure of was that she had slept well. This was the first time in weeks she had slept well ever since she left the Blue moon pack. Her body no longer ached like It once did but all she needed currently were plates of food to fill her stomach. She could hear her stomach ringing, making noises. Joanna still wanted to sleep some more but the uncomfortable pain her stomach was giving was enough to make her open her eyes lazily. She stretched out her hands and yawned tiredly, her bones cracking in satisfaction. She turned to look at her side and realized she was the only one in the ward. Her son was nowhere near to be seen but Joanna didn't feel bothered which was so unlike her. At this moment, the only thing she cared about the most was food and e
It was an ominous day for Joanna.Firstly, getting splashed with a bucket of cold dirty water and then insulted. While all these happened, she had made sure not to allow any of it touch nor get to her baby. "I'm so sorry," She apologized for the nth time that day before walking out of another coffee shop, drained and smelly. Her little baby of course didn't mind burying his face in his mother's bossom. He even seemed to enjoy it, not caring whether she stinked nor was wet.Joanna believed he knew nothing but still felt touched by his little display of love. She smiled lightly and rubbed the back of his head comfortingly."I love you too baby." She mumbled and allowed a tear slip down her eye. With one hand holding her baby and the other tightly holding on to her duffel bag, Joanna kept walking along the road, hoping to see job vacancies from any of the shops lined up. It was almost nighttime, Joanna was yet to see a place to rest her head and at this moment, she was having seconds
Joanna's POV;I was woken up by loud banging and hammering around me and if I didn't know better, I'd have said those people were out to kill me. I mean, why I. the godeess' name would you wake up a fellow person like you who was very much alive like you were waking the dead. I squeezed my eyes shut in anger but at that moment, I heard one of them finally yell."B*tch! What do you think you're doing in there? Don't you have a home? Don't bring your bad luck into my business. Get out of there right now!" I heard a woman yell. I didn't need to turn around to see exactly what she looked like. Of course, it was a wooden compartment but the front side was covered with a transparent glass. I made out this compartment to be the barrier between the bakery behind it and the customers buying the confectionaries.I knew they could see me and even when I felt sorry for staying in this compartment without permission, I was also dead tired. I truly felt like sleeping till I've had enough but I kne
Not only Joanna but the others whom the woman had called to help her yell and curse at Joanna were dumbfounded. Wasn't this the woman who was planning on calling the cops on Joanna few minutes ago? Why had her attitude changed in the blink of an eye?.Joanna pursed her lips, not knowing what to say and could only nod her head in agreement. What was she to say to a woman who changed attitude in the blink of an eye? If she wasn't talking smoothly, surrounded by other people and dressed nicely, Joanna would have thought she was insane.She was finding it hard coping with how fast the woman's brain was."Um, thank you ma'am. I really appreciate it. I'll clean up if you want me to," Joanna offered even though she could tell that there wasn't a single speck of dust she had left in the compartment.Hurriedly waving her hand in dismissal, the woman shook her head at Joanna hurriedly."No, of course not. It's fine. I'll tell that lazy of of mine to clean the whole compound. Don't worry young l
At that moment, he knew death had grazed his neck, few inches away from his heart. The doctor gulped and said nothing, immediately walking to do other jobs that didn't threaten his life.Meanwhile, the woman who had volunteered to follow Joanna and was also with the baby boy was on the floor beneath the floor where Joanna had been taken for examination and likely surgery as they were told. The woman was currently pacing in the waiting corridor with Joanna's baby in her arms when the elevator dinged open. The little girl Joanna risked her life for who had been quietly sitting agilely jumped down from the chair."Dad!" She cried out, running to hug the legs of the man whose expression happened to soften at that moment. This was the same man who was looking no less than the king of hell few minutes ago but was now soft against his daughter. He lifted her by her two hands and the little girl happily giggled in turn."Who hurt you? Who made you cry?" The man's voice suddenly went stiff
"Strangers?Some hours ago, weren't you also a stranger to him? Woman, I do not have the whole time to spend with you and now I advice you to hand the baby over."The words of the young billionaire was like a sword put on the neck of the woman. She wasn't willing to let this opportunity slip by without reaping enough benefits. She knew the man before her and she was aware of what he was capable of. Who was she, a small fry, before him? Who was the president of their country before him?The power of the president of their country couldn't compare to the power he had in the country. Then, what was the problem? She was willing to hug one of his thighs for as long as she wanted.Unknown to her, if she had politely asked him to render his assistance to her, she'd have gladly done so but then, the young billionaire realized that one way or the other, the woman would end up only trying to dupe him. The young man was no fool. He had dealt with people from every aspect of the world and was pr
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
