“Any thing would be appreciated “came a reply from Joan. Jewel was willing to be as homely as possible to Joan provided she did not know that she had been the one who came in disguise to kill Aidan. She returned with a galss of juice complemented by some biscuits in a saucer. Please feel comfortable she said placing the tray on a side table close to Joan. “. You did not ask me who I was when you ushered me in. Do you know me by chance?“ Asked Joan. It set Jewel a little bit off guard but she soon regained her composure. “Well you don't look harmful to me. You seem to be a nice oerson.“ Said Jewel. Her compliment flattered Joan. It made her smile before she said.“well be careful. It was a good deed like this one that made me lose someone I cherished so much”. Jewel knew where the story was going to and it made her uneasy. She wanted to go away. To excuse herself from Joan was something she wanted to do but did not know how to. She would just have to sympathize with her if she chosed t
“I am so sorry,it won't happen again” jewel tried to apologize when Micah came into the room. She did not see the exact reason why she was apologizing but she felt that it was right to do so.“You did nothing wrong dear. It is fine” said Micah as he held her in an embrace. “Now where were we” he said grinning.“I should take you out today”“Where are we going to?““Where ever you wish to go to” he replied as he sniffed her neck.“I always have the urge to remark you when ever we are together and during intimacy. You smell sweet my darling” complemented Micah and it made Jewel to blush. “It has been a long day Micah, you should rest”. She said disentangling from him. It was too much for her. Every touch and every affection he showed her made sparks fly and made her feel butterflies in her stomach. Just as she was about leaving, Micah caught hold of her hands and brought her close to himself again.“where do you think you are going to? I am not done with you my princess”. He said caressi
“Jewel,are you OK" Mr Daniel asked Jewel. He looked sick but his faced showed concern.“I am fine sir. What is wrong with Mary”she asked. “The strange woman, where is the woman? ".inquired Mary with trembling hands. “ I don't know what she did to me,all I remember is she chanted something. I am so scared. I have never experienced something like this before”. She said without facing either of them. “ Jewel, you must tell me the truth now. Did the woman hurt you or did she say anything threatening to you”asked Mr Daniel. It was up to Jewel to end the issue or cause a progress in it. She was not sure if the wolf that carried Joan would spare her. Further more,there was really nothing they could do about it. Here in Malibu,she doubted if there were much wolves. Further investigation on what had transpired would blow her cover and it could affect other wolves who were hiding their identity.“ No sir,she ran away and I went after her but could not catch her "Jewel lied. “ she did not tak
She could not find any vehicle leading to the train station so she decided to walk some distance. It was a risk because her father or someone who knew her well might see her but she still chosed to walk. She had this feeling that she would come across someone she knew but she hoped that it would not be her father. It was getting late now and the last thing she wanted was to sleep in NYC. She finally got a cab and she waved her hands to indicate for the vehicle to stop. It did and she got in. There was a familiar face inside the cab. It took her time to remember who it was but when it hit her,it came as as a shock. He was the least person she had expected to see. There had been very little communication between them and after her mother died, she had not heard from him.“Henry "she called out. The young man did not recognise her at first but he soon did and gave her a warm smile.“ Jewel is it really you?,where have you been?““ it is a long story” she replied.“I heard about everything
Henry waited for Jana in anxiety. He had no idea what she wanted to tell him she had called using a cold tone to ask him to meet her later in the day and she had said nothing else. He had placed calls but she did not respond yo his calls neither did she reply to his text messages. It had made him very worried and restless.Jana walked up to him from behind”Henry” he turned and he saw an expression he had hoped not to see on her face. Jana looked sad and anxious. He feared that she had come to tell him that she would not go on with the proposal but what she said was far from what he had bargained for.“we need to talk”she said.“well that is why we are here. How are you doing my love?““I want to ask you to do something. It is bizarre but I still wish that you will agree”“What is it dear?. You know that I have your best interest at heart and will do all in my power to make sure that you are happy” he said edging close to her and taking her hands into his. “Its about our consummation
“Welcome dear,I thought you would not be able to come” said Jana extending her arms to hug Asher. He did not resist,he hugged her too. “How are you doing Jana” asked Asher“Well I am fine thank you” came a reply from Jana . “Oh… Jewel is on her way. She is with Linda "he said trying to stop her from staring at the entrance. It was obvious that she was anxious to see Jewel.““Thank you Asher” she said forcing a smile.“You are welcome. I am quite tasty. I hope its not too early to ask for a drink?“he said smiling. “ sure its fine. Please come with me”she said as she ushered him to a table. It had a variety of drinks on it.“please make your choice "she said pointing at the drinks. She would save the poison for later when Jewel was here. If she gave Asher biwzit would ruin the fun and as well stop Jewel from drinking at the picnic party. “wow!I don't know what to choose. You really put so much work into the party” he said being mesmerized by the many options that laid out on the table
Chapter22Jewel received a phone call from James. It had been a while since they conversed. The last time they had done so,they had talked at length about the new improvements at the bar, the incident with Joan, Mr Daniel's change of attitude towards her and all she could think of. James had smartly avoided any form of conversation that would lead to talking about himself and the work he did for Miguel. Jewel had asked about how he was faring and he had said that all was well and immediately changed the topic. He had been really scared of getting caught the first few weeks of working with Miguel but with time,he had become a master of the game. Miguel had taken delight in his work and had entrusted deeper and more critical businesses into his care. He had earned himself a place in Miguel's heart and now he did more than drug trading, Miguel now sent him on assassination tasks and he was beginning to enjoy the privileges he was exposed to as a result of doing the things that pleased hi
As soon as he ended the call,a message came in” I am back "it read and it was sent by no other person but Joan. It made James panic. How possible is this. How was she able to escape such a big wolf. Miguel won't spare me if he finds out about this. He thought as he began to breath heavily. He remembered Jewel. She was in danger. “ oh my goodness!“. He needed to do something but he had no idea of what to do. He needed to save Jewel and himself. He knew that Joan would come for Miguel but it was the least of his problem.He was uncertain of which move to take next. Whatever it was,he had to first be in contact with Joan. Probably, they could reach an agreement or something like that. The thought that Jewel was in danger still worried him but he had been missing out on something… what business did Jewel have with Joan. First the suggestion of getting to work for Miguel and now a dangerous woman was after her life. Who in the world was truly his friend!. Jewel did not disclose much about

Amidst the renewed splendor of the hidden realm, Luna Celestis and her pack forged ahead, their spirits intertwined in an unbreakable bond. Together, they ventured into unexplored territories, unearthing ancient relics and forgotten wisdom, unlocking the hidden potential within themselves. In their travels, Luna and her pack encountered diverse creatures and beings who had also suffered under the malevolence's reign. They shared their knowledge, offering solace and guidance to those in need.

Luna, ever wise and vigilant, discerned the true intentions of those who ap
Luna awoke to a world she did not recognize. The air was thick with an oppressive darkness, and the once-vibrant colors of the hidden realm had faded into shades of gray. She could hear distant echoes of her pack's voices, calling out to her, but they sounded distant and muffled, as if separated by an insurmountable barrier.Struggling to her feet, Luna surveyed her surroundings. She was alone, surrounded by an eerie stillness. The obsidian tower that had been their destination loomed in the distance, its darkened form radiating an ominous aura. Luna's heart sank as she realized the tower's power had consumed her pack, scattering them to unknown fates.With a heavy heart, Luna began her solitary journey towards the tower. Each step felt like an eternity, the weight of her pack's absence pressing down upon her. Doubts and fears gnawed at her, but she pushed them aside, refusing to succumb to despair.As Luna approached the tower, she noticed a series of ancient r
Luna and her pack ventured deeper into the hidden realm, guided by the shimmering light of the reformed Moonstone. The realm seemed to twist and turn, the very fabric of reality warping around them. Shadows danced and writhed, whispering secrets and half-truths that tugged at the edges of their consciousness. As they pressed on, the air grew heavier, and the path ahead grew more treacherous. They entered a vast labyrinth, its walls lined with shimmering darkness that seemed to pulse with a sinister energy. Luna's pack moved cautiously, their senses sharp and their steps measured. The labyrinth was a maze of illusions, each turn leading them deeper into uncertainty. The whispers grew louder, their words twisting and distorting like the labyrinth itself. Shadowy whispers: "Embrace the darkness... Unleash your true power... Abandon your futile quest..." Luna's mind swirled with conflicting thoughts, the doubts planted by the mysterious voice resurfacing. She shook her head, determined
Luna and her pack ventured deep into the heart of the forest, following the trail of darkness that had permeated their territory. The once vibrant trees now stood twisted and gnarled, their leaves withered and lifeless. The air hung heavy with an oppressive aura, causing Luna's fur to bristle. As they traveled deeper into the shadows, a mysterious figure emerged from the darkness. It was an ancient wolf, her fur the color of moonlit silver and her eyes gleaming with wisdom. She spoke in a voice that carried the weight of centuries. Elder Moonshadow: Luna, chosen protector, you and your pack have walked a treacherous path. But your journey is far from over. The darkness that looms over your lands is a consequence of a forgotten secret, a secret buried within the heart of the Moonstone. Luna's ears perked up, and she exchanged a glance with her pack, their curiosity piqued. Luna: Elder Moonshadow, what do you mean? What secret does the Moonstone hold? Elder Moonshadow: The Moonstone
The final leg of Luna's journey led her pack to the edge of the Luminous Realm, where the boundary between light and darkness shimmered ominously. The encroaching darkness grew tangible, whispering promises of power and chaos. Luna and her pack steeled themselves, ready to confront the ultimate challenge.As they ventured forth, the once ethereal landscapes transformed into twisted and corrupted versions of their former beauty. The celestial creatures that once inhabited the realm now bore signs of corruption, their once radiant auras tainted by shadow.Luna's heart clenched with sorrow at the sight, but she knew that their mission required resilience and unwavering determination. The stakes were higher than ever, and failure was not an option.Navigating through the treacherous realm, Luna and her pack encountered harrowing adversaries, creatures of darkness that sought to consume their light. But with each battle, Luna's pack fought valiantly, their unity and the power of the amulet
Luna stood alone in the heart of the ancient forest, surrounded by a circle of snarling, hostile werewolves. The rival pack, led by their ruthless Alpha, had sought to challenge Luna's authority and claim her territory as their own.Alpha: (snarling) Luna, your reign ends here. We are the true rulers of these lands, and we will take what is rightfully ours.Luna: (calmly) Your ambition blinds you, Alpha. This land is under my protection, and I will not yield to your aggression.The tension hung heavy in the air as the rival pack prepared to attack. Luna's eyes glowed with a radiant intensity, a testament to her unwavering determination. Just as the rival werewolves lunged forward, ready to strike, a thunderous roar echoed through the forest.Out of the shadows emerged a figure, larger and more imposing than any werewolf Luna had ever encountered. It was a powerful, ancient creature—a celestial being known as a Stellar Guardian. The rival pack froze in fear, their eyes widening with di
In the years that followed their victory, Luna and her pack continued their vigilant watch over the grand design. They patrolled the vast reaches of the universe, ensuring that no new threats emerged to destabilize the delicate balance they had fought so hard to restore.Their bond as a pack grew stronger with each passing day. They shared their knowledge and experiences, honing their skills and deepening their understanding of the cosmic tapestry. They became the guardians of the unseen, defenders of the harmonious order that allowed life to flourish across the cosmos.But as time wore on, a new challenge presented itself. Whispers began to circulate among the celestial realms—a disturbance that hinted at an ancient evil stirring from its slumber. Luna and her pack knew that they could not rest on their laurels; a new battle loomed on the horizon, threatening to plunge the universe into chaos once more.With a renewed sense of purpose, Luna rallied her pack. They ventured into unchar
As they gathered their thoughts and devised a plan to confront this new threat, Luna and her pack couldn't shake the lingering unease that permeated the air. Doubts and questions swirled in their minds, intertwining with their determination and resolve."Who was that figure?" Luna wondered aloud, her voice tinged with both curiosity and trepidation. "And what did they mean by disrupting the grand design?"Her pack exchanged worried glances, their eyes reflecting a mixture of fear and determination. "We've come so far," one of them said, their voice trembling slightly. "But this... it feels different. Like we're facing something beyond our comprehension."Luna nodded, acknowledging the weight of their words. "Indeed. This adversary is powerful, and their intentions remain shrouded in mystery. But we must stay true to our purpose. We've faced unimaginable challenges before, and we've prevailed. We can do it again.""But how?" another member of the pack interjected, their voice filled wi
