Alpha Marcus shot them a glare and burst out in laughter. "How outrageous of you guys to have suddenly become intimidated by this little occurrence which just happened right now. Do you ever believe that the old woman meant what she said earlier? Or is it because of the manner at which she vanished after threatening your lazy asses?" They gave no response, they were still trying to recover from the shock of what had just happened. One of the soldiers finally spoke up after a long silence. "I don't think I can continue with this search anymore, my Lord. Permit me to return back to the palace and await your arrival." He peered at the other soldier who nodded his head in support of what he had just said. "That's right, Alpha Marcus. I don't think I can also continue, I have to save my life for those who care about me - my family and every other person who is counting on me." He said."Oh I see!" Alpha Marcus exclaimed and let out a smile. "It is I who doesn't have a family and also wis
Little did Elena know that Garfield had prior motives for asking her those questions. She didn't see it as a big deal since they had already gotten used to each other.Garfield sighed at her story and rubbed his cheek. "I'm sorry you had to pass through all that but it's all over right now because I'm here for you, always." He muttered and embraced her in a hug.Elena wiped her tears and replaced them with a smile. She paused and stared at Garfield, almost getting lost in his eyes. She fixed her gaze on him like she was waiting for him to say something to her. "By the way, why did you decide to ask me about this right now?" She asked. "I mean we have been together for a while now and you've never asked me all these. Why does it have to be now? What inspired you to ask?""Ah. Come on sweetheart, it just came to my mind now and I decided to ask and be certain. Have I done the wrong thing by asking?" Garfield quizzed, his eyes meeting Elena's."No, not at all. I was only trying to be cl
CAUGHT UPElijah jumped into the underground and trailed through the stairs. The stairs were longer than he had initially thought, and he kept wondering if it was ever going to end.Jennifer noticed a guard coming towards her with a bright flashlight pointing at her direction. She realized instantly that she would be in great trouble if the guard ever caught her trying to escape.Without hesitating further, she ran into a hidden place in the room and squeezed herself into the little space she could find.The guard soon arrived in the room and began to search every nook and cranny of the room, as if he had been ordered to do so.He searched thoroughly as if his life depended on it, and when he didn't see anything amiss, he stepped out of the room through the underground where Jennifer had escaped from.Jennifer ran out of the room with the speed of light the instant she saw the guard leave. She thanked the Moon goddess silently for saving her, because her life would have probably been
REGRETSThe two guards, alongside Elijah soon arrived at Elijah's home and began to parade about everywhere. They pushed the closed door and tried to force their way in, but they found out that it had already been locked."Shit!" One of the guards yelled and banged his fists on the hard door, writhing in pain afterwards. "I don't think anyone stays here, this man is trying to fool us." He said, pointing at Elijah.Elijah's face grew with suspense and he began to wonder what was exactly going on and why the guards were suddenly tagging him as a liar. Before he knew what was happening, the other guard ran off towards the door once again and kicked it hard with the sole of his feet.The door went open instantly and he stormed in at once, ordering the other guard to remain outside with Elijah, while he went in to find out if there was indeed anyone there.Arriving into the sitting room which was the very first room before other rooms, the guard saw no trace of anything or anyone, not even
NARROW ESCAPE"I believe I am an Alpha also, and as such, I am also privileged to have a private discussion with Alpha Marcus no matter the stunts he's trying to pull." Elijah said to himself, his voice erupting in the whole room. "As soon as he returns back from his search trip, I must definitely have a word with him."He jumped on the bed afterwards and slept off.***In all the time Alpha Marcus had spent in front of the cave, after he had killed his soldiers, he saw no trace of any of the other soldiers returning back to him anytime soon.So he summoned the courage and rode on his horse, towards the direction of the place they had passed earlier into the forests.He had not rode a long distance when he discovered the jacket of one of the soldiers, yet there was no trace of them. He trailed the path where he had seen the jacket until he got to a strange spot with no single trees or grasses in sight. He walked farther more, although in curiosity, and he stepped on something which f
Elijah was not left behind in the battle to find out what was wrong with Alpha Marcus. When he heard the doors open, he knew it was definitely going to be him, and as a result, he began to panic and pray to the Moon goddess for his safety.He had thought the Alpha had heard about his mate's escape and had stormed into the room to teach him some lessons, but he was proven otherwise when none of that happened. Alpha Marcus stormed into the room and lay on his bed instead, drifting off to sleep almost immediately. Elijah was relaxed to some extent and he saw that as an opportunity to quickly think of how to explain to the Alpha how his mate had managed to escape from the palace, because he was definitely never going to take it easy on him if he was unable to explain himself.Elijah thought of something quickly but it was not really a perfect idea to him. Alpha Marcus was not a kid who would be lied to so easily without him getting to find out later. So he concluded he was going to let h
CAUGHT UPAlpha Marcus gripped Elijah by his neck afterwards and led him out of the manor. The guards were frightened when they saw him approaching them that way and they quickly went down on their knees, with their bowed low before the Alpha."No, you shouldn't do that. Get up because you have found favor with me." Alpha Marcus said and helped them to their feet, rubbing both their heads with his hands while Elijah knelt in their midst."This son of a bitch kneeling here has just narrated to me how he succeeded in taking his mate out of the palace." Marcus stated and looked down at Elijah. "He also made me understand that he also tried escaping but you both caught him and dealt hell with him. Is that right?"The guards exchanged glances with each other and played a smile on their lips. They knew they had indeed found favor with the Alpha because he was never going to be so happy with them if they were the cause of his earlier bad mood.They nodded their heads. "Yes, my Lord. We did
STUCK IN A PLACEShe thanked her wolf for giving her these signs on time and she was gradually beginning to understand what her wolf was trying to tell her about her wolf earlier.Garfield was beginning to act weirdly and that only confirmed what her wolf had been telling her about her wolf. "Elena, why are you suddenly acting this way? This is so unusual of you and you sure know it." Garfield mustered and reached for Elena's hands but she quickly drifted them away from his touch."Don't touch me! Will you answer my questions or not?" She asked, paying deaf ears to his sorry pleas.He stared at her with apologetic eyes and went on his knees, finally getting a grip on her hands. She felt herself become stale all of a sudden as he ran his fingers through her skin.He drew her close to himself and began to plant kisses all over her face. "Tell me you aren't upset with me anymore." He said in a seductive tone and she quickly swallowed up her breath, lost in his dazzling aura.She held on
