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
Before the Alpha could scream, he was roughly pulled out of the car by very sharp canines.His beta and the other two all ducked their heads in fear, using their hands to cover their ears and dared not say a word, not even daring to scream.They all fearfully listened intently on how their Alpha was taken into the forest without anything being done.***In the forestThe Alpha could scream not because he didn't want to but because he found himself unable to. Had he lost his voice? What happened to his voice? Had he become dumb? The thought of him going dumb made him almost have a panic attack as he trashed about in the mouth of the wolf who had kidnapped him.He was at a loss for what to do but then, recollecting he was a werewolf and also an 'Alpha' at that, his ego was boosted and he began to change into his wolf form, letting his wolf take over.Funnily, he had underestimated the intelligence of the one who had kidnapped him because as he was changing into his wolf form, his captor
Micah was so lost in thought, oblivious to the knock on his door. He closed his eyes, revelling in the soft hum the air blew.It wasn't until he caught a whiff of an all too familiar scent did he turn around.Standing right behind him was the cause of his depressed mood. What was more prominent was the blood on his jaw. Micah was able to see this fast because he had caught a whiff of an odd scent as soon as Mark walked into his room."That is not your blood, is it?" He asked in concern, despite knowing the answer to his question."How are you?" Mark asked back, his voice laced with intent concern. Micah was having a hard time understanding him. "What? After doing what you did to me, you have the guts to ask me about my well being! How dare you!" At this, Micah broke out in tears.The tears fell from his eyes like he had been holding them back all along. Mark exhaled thinking of ways to comfort him but felt awkward to do so. He realized he had thrown away the right to do so the momen
Joanna woke up to the feeling of her back being split into two. She couldn't feel her legs and out of desperation, she forced her eyes open, groaning as the sunlight attacked. Squinting slightly, she tried sitting up with the help of her bouncy pillow but something felt weird. She placed her hand on her stomach, confused as to what the problem was. As she tried sitting up, she felt an intense pain on her feet making her scream loudly. Few seconds later, a half naked Alasdair burst into her room while gasping for breath and looked panicked."What? What happened? Why did you scream?" He asked in haste, check-in every nook and cranny of her room. Upon getting no reply from her, Alasdair turned around and Joanna watched his expression morph into a hilarious one. Judging from the look on his face, she could tell he was trying so hard to hold his laughter which would soon be let out in no time.Joanna pouted, tears brewing in her eyes as she glared at him. How dare he make fun of her legs
They both stared intently into each other's eyes and intermittently, Alasdair's gaze went down to her lips. Joanna began breathing heavily and so did Alasdair. His grip on her hands tightened but Joanna couldn't care less about the pain as she was lost in his eyes. Everything around her was nonexistent and the only person in her eyes was he who was atop her.As if asking for permission, Alasdair stared into her eyes intently and seeing the dilated look in Joanna's eyes, he lost control at that moment, despite the fact that a part of him was screaming 'this is wrong!'His lips found hers and it was slow at first but then, as time went on, a battle ensued. It was everything Joanna craved for. It felt like she had finally had a taste of what she had been craving for days. In her current senses, Joanna believed it felt like home. The kiss was something her dreams lacked in. It was more intense than she expected.Alasdair released his grip on her hands and immediately her hands found the
Whimpering and groaning, Joanna managed to walk back to her room.Few minutes ago, she was only a few steps away from her room, wanting to get something to eat but then, an unknown pain in her stomach hit her like a hurricane. Joanna had never felt this type of pain before and at that moment, she believed death was better than the pain.There was no one around her and the only choice she had was to walk back to her room to seek help from Alasdair even when she didn't want to.Screaming for help wasn't a choice because Joanna was sure she didn't have the feeling of having a voice.She could only let out small whimpers as she heavily walked back to her room.Upon seeing Joanna's state, Alasdair had no time to worry if he had been kissing Helen as his priority was to make sure Joanna was safe.Displeased, Helen's eyes glinted as she glared at Joanna who was trying so hard to stable her breathing. Too furious, Helen was yet to realize she was now breathing heavily due to intense anger.Al
Night time came, everyone except a few guards watching the pack's border had gone to sleep. The chirping noises of crickets and the flapping of wings of bed could be heard. The cooing of owls was enough to forever be a child's nightmare. Admist this, the figure of a person shrouded in a thick cloak speedily passed by the pack's borders, into the forest. The guards who stood watch only felt a gust of wind hit them. They were unaware of the presence of the one who had just passed.****In the forestTaking off the cloak, Helen's figure which was illuminated by the bright moonlight came into view. In her hand was a small dagger that looked very blunt. Raising her hand, she began chanting unknown words while the mood got slightly darker. Anyone who had been watching the moon intensely could tell that there was a change in it.The birds around suddenly stopped flapping their wings, the crickets had all gone quiet and even the young crickets had stopped crying for food. The owls had stopped
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
