"Maybe," Romulus said. "We've seen a lot of faces during our lifetime. Is it possible to remember all the faces we have seen?"Lupita frowned. "I have never left my father's court. Have you ever been here before?"He shook his head. "No, but who knows where you have been in your past lives. Maybe we met in our past lives."Lupita scoffed. She wondered if he was trying to engage her in small talks. If that was the case, he was failing miserably, she thought to herself. She found his words weird and annoying.He was probably sent by her father to talk to her, she thought.Lupita frowned at the thought.She was not interested in investing her time in getting to know another man. At least for now. After all, she was only seventeen. What was the rush for?And this stranger. Why did he seem so familiar when she had never met him before? "Thank you for sending Hardin away, but I have to go now.""But I want you to keep me company," Romulus said.Her heart swelled at his words. He still had t
"I'm not attending any welcome party," Lupita said to the visibly frustrated maid before her. She sat on her bed. Her legs crossed and her palms lying flat on the bed next to her.She hated whenever she was this way toward the maids, but she had no choice. The welcome party was for someone she was trying to avoid."If you don't come, you know I will be the one who gets punished. He is your father. He can't kill you, but he can kill me if I do as little as annoy him with the way I breathe. I ordered me to doll you up and accompany you to the party. If I don't, I will be in huge trouble." Her voice quavered.Lupita sighed in frustration. She would be putting the maid in huge trouble if she did not attend whatever welcome party her father was throwing for Romulus.She stood up from her bed. "Fine. Let's get started so I won't be late."The maid beamed. She quickly thanked Lupita and started to help her get prepared."Jane," she called the maids' name softly while she styled her hair. "Ha
"ROLL ON THE GROUND AND CLEAN IT UP! ROLL ON THE GROUND AND CLEAN IT UP!" Lupita looked on in despair as they all chanted. She looked down at the spilled drink before her and wondered what wrong she had done to deserve what befell her. Lupita was the most picked on slave. Her rank was the lowest in the pack. Omegas were better than she was. For some reason Lupita could not fathom, everyone picked on her more than they did to the other slave. She had lost the memories of the first eight years of her life so it was probably because of a mistake she had made during that period, but she could not remember anything. What she had done wrong was unknown to her and no one was close enough to her to tell her what had happened. Lilith, the sister of the current Beta and the daughter of the previous Beta, had ‘accidentally’ spilled her drink and of course, Lupita had to clean it up. She had no problem with cleaning Lilith's drink up. What she had a problem with was how Lilith wanted her t
"MOTHER! FATHER! DON'T LEAVE!" a thirteen-year-old young lad cried out.A few meters from where he stood was a beautiful couple. The woman was as beautiful as a goddess. Her long, wavy, white hair fluttered in the strong wind. Her beautiful purple eyes held pain. Her lips curved into a warm smile as she locked hands with the muscular, powerful-looking man beside her."PLEASE DON'T LEAVE!" The lad broke down in tears. "They've got to be another way.""Take care of yourself," the goddess-like woman said. Her voice was more soothing than a massage and from the lad's reaction, he wanted to hear that voice every day. "This is for the better.""We love you," the man said with a warm smile and they both began to wither away until they disappeared, leaving the lad behind."NO!!!!" The lad cried out in pain."Alpha Romulus! Alpha Romulus," a voice kept on calling."NO!" Alpha Romulus' eyes snapped open and instead of being a thirteen-year-old lad standing in a windy, deserted land, he was olde
In Night Meadow Pack, it was taboo to sleep with a man that was not your mate, especially one you know you won't end up marrying. Most she-wolves did it, but they did theirs in secret without the knowledge of the whole pack. Lupita, on the other hand, had to do what the Alpha asked of her and she knew very well that this would make everyone look down on her more than they already did, but she could only follow the Alpha to his room quietly without complaint and she did just that. When they got to his room, the Alpha sat on his bed and watched her for a while. Her eyes were on the floor the whole time. She was praying for a miracle to happen. "Look up at me," Romulus ordered. His voice was low and harsh and Lupita looked up immediately. Her eyes were red and glossed with tears already. Romulus smirked. He began to take off his clothes. Tears flowed from Lupita's eyes as he took off his clothes. He stopped when he had only his trouser on. He was well built and most females would have
Tears rushed down Lupita's face as her friend read aloud to the hearing of everyone what she had written in her diary about Conan. She had written about how his hair was soft, his lips looked like candy and how staring at his eyes was like staring at the oceans. And, how she wanted to be in his embrace forever. As Maya read these things to the hearing of everyone, they all laughed and mocked her. She couldn't take it anymore so she threw the mop she was holding to the ground and made to leave. "Maya, I always see you visit Lupita secretly, aren't you her friend?" Lupita stopped walking as she heard Lilith ask Maya the question. She wanted to hear her answer. Maya on the other hand knew that Lilith would ask this question because Lilith told her so and she also told her the answer she would give to her question. "Friend?" Lupita's heart sank as she heard Maya scoff. "She isn't my friend but a fool. I pretended to be a friend so I could stab her in the back. I wanted to treat the
"Happy birthday to you Lupitaaa, Happy birthday to you. How old are you now? How old are you now? How old are you now, Lupitaaa? How old are you now?""I'm eight years old now, I'm eight years old now... ""Hip! Hip! Hip!""Hurray!"Little Lupita smiled as friends and family celebrate her eighth birthday. She beamed as her favorite section of her party had begun. It was time for Lupita to get presents."Aunt Diana and Uncle," Lupita shrieked as she saw a white-haired, beautiful young woman with sparkling purple eyes walk towards her. Her arms were interwoven with that of a brown-haired muscular man.Lupita ran to them and hugged them. They smiled and they both patted her hair softly."Hope you liked the gift we got for you.""I loved it," Lupita beamed. "But, what about my bestie?" She raised her head to look at their faces."He'll soon be here," her uncle said with a warm smile. Immediately after he finished talking, a young boy of her age whose face she couldn't see began to walk tow
"Conan," Lupita called out in a faint, brittle voice. She looked up at his face, expecting to see at least a trace of emotion on his face but she saw nothing. She held his hands as he turned to leave but he slapped her hand off his and her knees fell to the ground. As he did so, Lupita felt like sharp needles were piercing her chest. MAKE IT STOP! She screamed in her head but it only got worse. STOP IT! She fell to the ground and began to roll. Wounds! She could feel them. They were on her chest. Might not be visible when checked but they were there and it hurt her. They were more like wounds on her heart. "Moon Goddess!" She cried out, with tears streaming freely from her eyes. "Could you please be any less cruel? It's too much to bear. Please, make it stop." More tears flowed from her eyes as she held her stomach and groaned. She cried out as the pain spread from her chest and stomach to other parts of her body. "Hot," she yelped in pain as she felt her skin burning. Lupita

"Maybe," Romulus said. "We've seen a lot of faces during our lifetime. Is it possible to remember all the faces we have seen?"Lupita frowned. "I have never left my father's court.

"Thank you for sending Hardin away, but I have to go now.""But I want you to keep me company," Romulus said.Her heart swelled at his words. He still had t
"Lupita." Lupita's face twisted as she heard Hardin's voice. Was he seriously trying to tell her more lies when he was caught red-handed? "What are you doing here? My father dismissed you, didn't he?" "I bribed some of the guards to get in here," He replied and Lupita wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Well, now you and those men you bribed are in trouble because I am definitely telling the Alpha what you did." He reached out to her wrist and got hold of it. "Lupita, please forgive me. You were so excited when you got to know I was your mate, remember? Please, don't let everything we had go to a waste because of a stupid mistake I made." Lupita laughed. If she wanted to be sincere, they never really had anything special with each other. She could admit to the fact that knowing she was Hardin's mate made her excited. Hardin was good-looking. Tons of she-wolves drooled whenever they saw him, but again he never spoke to her unless he wanted something from the Alpha or her elder br
"Lupita, I'll talk to you later," Her father said dismissively and she frowned."I don't want to meet any Alpha during your meet and greet," Lupita said, annoyed at her father's decision to ship her off to another man after getting cheated on by her mate."We will talk about this later," he said sternly.Lupita backed her father, ready to leave the throne room. Then, he walked in.Tall. Dark hair. Green eyes.Everything about this guy seemed familiar. Lupita began to have flashes of images of herself with a man.She furrowed her brows. Ight was the first time something like this was happening to her. She wondered if it had anything to do with the man walking in.She looked at his face and she could have sworn that she saw him mouth her name, but that would be strange because how was it possible for him to know her name.'Lupita.' She heard a voice in her head. The voice sounded familiar, but she was pretty sure that doing this lifetime of hers, she had never heard the voice before."A
"Hardin, oh my goddess, you're so good at this."The young lady whose ear was pressed against the door dropped her jaw. The door led to her fated mate/ fiance's room and the last thing she expected to hear were moans of a she-wolf that was not her."Be quiet, we would be doomed of she's hears us," She heard Hardin say"She won't. She is too busy helping her father to prepare for the Alphas meet and greet that would be holding in this pack," the moaning she-wolf replied. "I wonder why you are with her when you love me.""She's my destined mate and she's the Alpha's daughter. Her father is one of the richest in the pack. I have a lot to gain if I mark her.""If you mark her, anytime we are together, she will know it.""We have at least a few months till she becomes eighteen and gets her wolf. For now, I'm not making her. We still have enough time to spend together before she becomes eighteen. Plus, I'm planning on leaving when I am done with exploiting her and getting as much wealth as
Romulus barely survived getting struck by the spear."What are you doing?" Romulus was shocked.Immediately, some of his warriors rushed in and held Vlad. Romulus got up from his throne, at a crossroad of choosing whether or not to punish Vlad for trying to kill him. But again, if Vlad wanted war, he would have come here with his warriors and that of Moon Stone Pack.He knew Vlad had a valid reason, but what was it? Vlad already knew all the things he did that would warrant such a reaction.His warriors began to drag him away and he raised his hand for them to stop. They loosened their grip on them and Vlad threw his arms back, causing most of them to fall flat on the ground."Did I do anything wrong?" Romulus asked, still finding it difficult to believe that Vlad was here."B*st**d, thanks to you, my sister is pregnant," Vlad spat with venom in his voice.Romulus' eyes lit up. "She is?"Vlad glared hard at him, so he cleared his throat and put on a straight face immediately. "She—" R
Romulus looked around the empty throne room and back to his throne.Finally, he had gotten back what was his.He had just finished addressing his pack members. Most of them who had asked that he be removed were glad to see him even before he gave his speech. In the short time she was Alpha, Lilith treated them cruelly.When Romulus was done with telling them how Matt had tricked him into giving him his stamp, they all wanted him back.Lilith and Matt were in the dungeon, awaiting sentence now.The tribal elders and the rest who were in support of Lilith were relieved of their positions. Romulus walked over to his throne and sat on it.It was time to take complete charge of his park and find a way to surround himself with people that will be loyal to him.His mind flickered to Lupita and his heart began to ache. He missed her badly. It felt like he would die any second if he did not see her.Throughout his stay in Vlad's pack it had been that way and if Vlad had not put him on house ar
The next morning when Lupita woke up, Romulus was nowhere to be found. The corners of her mouth turned downward. She fell back on her bed and when she smelled her sheets, she grinned.Her sheets smelled like Romulus.She smiled sheepishly. She was definitely not planning on washing or changing these sheets soon.That night she stood by her window, hoping Romulus would visit her again, but he did not. He did not visit her the nights after. Very soon, days turned to weeks and weeks to months, but Romulus was nowhere to be found.Lupita was shattered.What went wrong? Lupita wondered. Was her brother responsible for Romulus' absence? She wondered if Vlad, her brother, had found out about that night. Or, was this all Romulus' doing to hurt her again.The thought of Romulus hurting her again made her heart squeeze in pain. He could not do that to her.And, that was why this night, she still stood at her window, waiting for Romulus to climb up to her like he did the last time.She heard a k
Her fear was replaced by a feeling she could not describe when she recognized who jumped into her room. It was Romulus. After all the warning her brother dished out to him. What was he doing here? Was she angry to see him? No. Did she want him to be here? Maybe. She did wonder what life without him would be like. If she wanted to be sincere to herself, she missed her mate. With the revelation of things, whether or not Romulus liked her was becoming hard to be sure of, but she did miss the times he was nice to her. The close moments she shared with him all seemed genuine... He took a few steps toward her and she took the same steps backward. "What are you doing here? My brother has decided to still help you despite everything. Stop trying to ruin the chance he is giving you." "Lupita," He called out softly and her hard heart toward him softened. Her name sounded like a sweet song in his mouth. "I kept thinking about you. The thought of having nothing to do with you did not s
