......Hours ago.......Wait!" Chase shouted.Kaiden had just stepped out of his room, in a tuxedo, looking as if he was going to an office, Chase widens his eyes.Kaiden stooped, he looked at his friend, wondering why he was stopped."I'm sorry but where are you going to?" Chase asked, Kaiden rolled his eyes."To the lunch, you are forcing me to go to" He replied as he adjusted the tie around his neck.Chase blinked once. twice and bursts into laughterKaiden who was holding a briefcase walked to the living room where his friend was watching a documentary on the TV.Kaiden placed his briefcase on the central table and sat down."You can't be serious!" Chase exclaimed as he turned to look at his friend "Please can you stand up?" He requested, Kaiden stood to his feet, Chase bursts into laughter again.Kaiden frowns and sat down "Would you tell me why you are laughing?" He asked."Jeez! Who wears a coat or whatever humans call this to a causal lunch, oh goddess! Kaiden!" Chase exclaim
...For a minute his friends didn't get what he was saying, but soon the name rang bells in their heads and Gideon's recent actions seem to click, both shouted "No way!"Benjamin and Alec burst out laughing as they returned both Gideon's plate and fork.Gideon kept rolling his eyes as if he knows that this will be their reaction."So Mr. Gideon Binks likes Miss brainy" Alec said after the laughter had died down, as if remembering something, the three burst out laughing.The laughter died down."You guys remember her?" Gideon asked with a blush."Who wouldn't remember her" Alec answered.Flashback …."Go to the heavens and the furthest place on earth, you would see that none, I repeat, none of my answers are ever wrong" Professor Smith boasted as usual.Some students rolled their eyes, they were used to Professor Smith's boasting, while some especially the junior ones felt intimidated. The hall was filled with students both from senior and junior years."I don't know what younger ones
Merry stared at herself in the mirror, she sighed "I would go with this" She said, looking tired from the little job she engaged herself in.This would be like the hundredth time she had checked herself in the mirror, and she had changed her dress eight times.She turned, checking out herself, on her bed were outfits she had tried but wasn't satisfied with.Merry knew that Monday Mornings in the college were when everyone dresses to kill, every Monday is a corporate day when everyone is expected to dress properly.She stared at herself from her hair which she had made in two small buns pointing to west and east, she had two twisted braids in front, hanging down to her chin, she stared down at the white long sleeves shirt she was putting on which was properly and completely tucked in her brown pencil skirt, her feet were covered with white baby sneakers.She smiled at the sneakers "Always my helping hand" She said, the sneakers were gifted to her by the orphanage when she was admitted
"Let's head to the library" Derek huffed "Spare me!" He exclaimed with a pout, holding Kaiden's arm, they were both walking out of the class."Jeez! Derek! You have missed classes and when I say classes I mean important classes and here you are, not wanting to study" Kaiden commented with a shake of head.He had at first thought his friend was sick, he had called both Derek and his girlfriend but no one was picking up, he got worried, he had planned to visit Derek's house which the latter had once told him the address, but when he tried calling again after a few days, Derek said he was alright and he need not visit.Derek stopped abruptly, pulling back Kaiden "I didn't create Danica to be beautiful and ravishing that I can't get enough of her." He said shamelessly winking dirty at Kaiden who choked on nothing which resulted in coughing.Derek busts into laughter."Derek!" Kaiden yelled after his cough has died down, he rolled his eyes "Jeez! So shameless!" Derek winked."Let's just
....Twenty seconds...Forty seconds...Three minutes...They kept staring at each other, each lost in their world, exploring what they thought about each other.Kaiden leaned in to fill his nostrils with more of the captivating scent.The faces neared each other until it was inches apart, so close.Thud.The sound brought them out of their worlds, seeing the position they were in, Merry cleared her throat nervously while Kaiden straighten up himself.Merry took her bag that had fallen and the book that had fallen out of it, she arranged her bag and stood up, taking a step his voice stopped her."You are with what's mine" He said, pointing to the paper she was holding, she stared down at the paper which she was holding, she had forgotten for some minutes that she was holding it.She smiled "Oh... Sorry" She said, stretching her hand, pointing the paper to him, he took the paper, his hand brushing against her, he felt anxious, wanting their bare skin to come in contact again.Merry tur
Edward looked up from his bed on hearing the door open, with a puzzled look, he stared at his friend who had just dropped his bag and slumped into his bed."You went to class?" Edward asked with surprise, he was sure that his best friend was coming from class but why he went to class this morning when he was supposed to be at home is what he doesn't seem to understand.West stared at his phone for while, he threw the phone beside him and hissed.Edward sat up from his bed "West-""Yeah, I went to a class," West answered with annoyance, Edward looked beside him, looking carefully at the timetable that who pasted just beside his bed.Yeah, there was a class but that very class, he couldn't even remember when last they attended that class, it wasn't really important to their studies.Edward averted his gaze back to his best friend who looked grumpy "What is the problem?" He asked.No response."West, are you okay?" Edward asked again but no response "Are-""Could you just stay quiet and l
Merry smiled as she pushed the door open.“But..” Zina paused as she stared at the mirror, she is making Diane’s hair “What’s going on with Olivia?” Zina asked.“She is very stupid and heavens know she is stepping on my last nerves.” Cara said, the anger evident in her voice.At first, it seem that Olivia’s behaviors weren’t something to worry about but hell! Olivia had bought some of the limited designer things she had always bought and more importantly, Olivia was starting to steal her shine …. Olivia must be nuts! … Cara hissed.Merry frowned as she walked into the room. ‘Is something going?’ She asked herself.“Good afternoon” She greeted, they all looked at her and continued what they were doing, Merry didn’t let that bother her, she went straight to her bed, took the big bag she was holding and started to bring out what she had bought.With each item she brought out she had a very big smile on her face, she had gotten a very good job at a very expensive restaurant which was jus
...Kaiden is seated on the couch, his head bent over a book in his hands.Feeling a presence, he looked up, dropping the book beside him, his gaze is met with a figure,covered up with a black overall, his nose embraced the scent of a witch, Rune."Greetings Alpha Kaiden." She said as she lifted the hood over her head revealing her long black hair which complements her black-painted lips curved in her usual smile.Kaiden smiled "Greetings Rune, how have you been?" He asked as he motioned for her to sit down, she seats."I have been good my lord," She answered, Kaiden nodded, he very well knew why she was here, he sighed "Alpha, I hope you haven't forgotten about the sacrifice, time is running out my lord, time is running out," She said.He sighed more deeply "Rune, I know, it isn't easy out here, I'm still yet to know that one lady that would fall in love with someone like me"Rune crooked her eyebrows "What do you mean someone like you?" She said as she pushed her head to a side, he
A knock sounded on the door. "Please come in." Merry answered as she hurriedly cleaned her wet face and used the duvet to cover her face, she frowned as the person who had just entered her room said nothing, she removed the cover from her face to have a view of who had entered, surprised washes over her to see the Alpha.She got up and walked to him "You're supposed to be back tomorrow, hope all is well?" She asked as she removed his robe. "Well, we finished early and I couldn't wait cause I was missing you but I think you didn't miss me as much as I miss you." He noticed she was avoiding eye contact and then this wasn't the welcome he was expecting, he knew his mate… There was a day when he tarried than usual. She had waited for him at the border and on seeing him she ran towards him and jumped on him. "I will go prepare something for you." She said and was about to leave, he held her hands and then he noticed her face, she had been crying. "What's going on?" He demanded, she shoo
The shouts of happiness filled the hall as the Beta and his mate shared a kiss before taking their seats.Garry looked at the Alpha who was seated in his section, Kaiden waved at him a smile visible on his face, he returned the smile with equally a smile, he looked at Chase's section which was just opposite his, his mate was holding his sleeping baby while .... well Chase being Chase was waving at him frantically, Garry rolled his eyes.His eyes landed on his beautiful mate, the females and Madam Dera were wonderful because all the markup, dress and accessories enhanced her beauty. "Are you expecting someone?" Garry asked taking his mate's hand as she seems to be looking at the entrance of the hall alot.Rune nodded "Sure, a male." She said with a smile, Garry's smiling face disappeared, seeing the sudden change, she laughed "No, it's not true, just waiting for a friend, female friend."Only then was he able to calm down, he brought her hands to his lips and kissed it. "Everyone!" So
"Greetings my lord." They all greeted as the Beta made his way into the kitchen, he nodded and waved his hand at them as he walked to Madam Dera who had turned and was smiling at him. "How was the meeting?" She asked. "Was fine." He answered, the Beta he had gone to one of those trips meant for the Alpha but because he was absent he had to go and well it was boring, he would have done anything to be out the door immediately he sat in the meeting and he missed a certain Witch.A smile crept up his face, Madam Dera chuckled seeing the beautiful smile on the Beta's face. "Smile often, it looks good on you." She said, Garry cleared his throat looking sideways "Well I think I don't have to say that too much cause the person that would make you smile has been found already." She concluded with a wink.No matter the efforts he put in not wanting to smile prove abortive. "Oh dear, will you look at that love striken smile." "I'm out of here!" Beta Garry ex
She closes her door, leans against it, her hand gripping her chest. "Ah!" She yelled quietly, but the pain was increasing, she fell to her knees, both hands on her chest trying to stop whatever pain she was feeling but no matter what she did, it intensifies.Then it came, a knock on the door, first, second, third, the knock went on and on, she couldn't even move talk more of opening the door.She needed help, she knew it, with the little strength she could muster, she pushed herself from the door and then it opened.She opened her eyes which were tightly shut to see a figure beside her, as her brain registered who it was, fear gripped her, she screamed and fainted.…"Greetings Beta Garvin." The mention of his name made him raise his head to acknowledge who had entered."I'm sorry, didn't hear when you came in." Garry said as he stood up from behind his desk.Rune smiled "Sure, I hope I am not being a bother to you Beta." Garry rolled his eyes "You know you are not even if you ar
He could feel the brightness of the room even when his eyes were shut, he inhaled and exhaled deeply as he tried to remember what happened to him.Oh yes.. he had gone unconscious but why? He wondered as he slowly opened his eyes. "Garry?" He called as he could feel the strong scent of the Beta in the room but looking around, confusion set in as he couldn't see his best friend.Or was it that the Beta just left? But then the scent was so strong as if he was still in the room or was his best friend sleeping on the ground next to his bed?He shifted to check but he winched, his side hurt like crazy and that brought the thoughts of her.Tears pulled from his eyes, he wished situations were better, he wished that she would understand him and be with him and not want a rejection, sincerely above all things, he wished to be with her, to hug her, kiss her, and tell her he was sorry but who was he kidding? She hated him now.Meredith Tremblay hated him, His Merry hated him, his mate hated
Chase and Garry had to halt in front of the door as the domestic helpers who were leaving the room bowed to them.They rushed into the room, a big smile etched on the Beta and the third in Command's face as their gaze held their best friend who was seated with a small frown on his face. "Madam Dera!" The Alpha half yelled, the older woman only smiled at him as she continued to dish a lot of food for him.His frown soon dissolved as his nose caught the scent of his best friends "Thank goddess you both are here." He said staring at his best friends standing before him "Please do join me." He said, pointing helplessly to the mountain of food before him. "And why should we?" Garry asked, the smile on his face had dissolved, it was replaced with a blank expression. "Garry-" "The last time I checked, we meant nothing to you so why should we help you." The Beta said cutting the Alpha off, Kaiden sighed, he knew where this discussion was heading. Garry turned to Cha
“It all started when I noticed the Alpha rarely inflicts injuries on himself.” “Was that not because he was in the human world?” Chase asked, Rune shook her head in response. “Even in the human world, the Alpha had the strong urges to injure himself which he succeeded in doing most times but then I noticed that at some point, he didn’t and that was because he met someone.” Kaiden blinked, for a minute he thought about what the Witch just said, and to his perplexity it was true, now thinking back to when he first met her and after, her scent, that strong fragrance had always pulled him out of that intense feeling of self-harm. Curiously Madam Dera asked, “Who is that person?” Before Rune could answer the Alpha did “Merry.” “Really?” The Beta asked, Rune nodded. “Again I noticed that eventhough the Alpha doesn’t understand what he feels, he began growing fondness for the human while on the other hand, the human has completely fallen in love with him.” Most of the time, she moni
He opened the door gently, his heart keeps beating in fear of what might happen, stepping into the apartment he came face to face with her.Immediately an irritated frown formed on that beautiful face that has taken residence in his heart.Both stared at each other, saying nothing.She cleared her throat and stood up from the couch she was sitting on, she folded her hands “What do I owe the visit? Alpha?” She said, annoyance dripping from her voice “Or should I say …” She paused as she stared from his face to his feet in spite “Monster?” Kaiden already broken heart, shattered into tiny pieces, tears pulled from his eyes and in no time they ran down his face, he didn’t wipe them away, he won’t pretend that he wasn’t hurt … Hell! He was… deeply.Monster.That word echoed in his head, he sighed, he went down on his knees slowly “Merry, I am sorry. Please forgive me, I had no other choice, I know what I did wasn’t good enough but please forgive me, this is killing me, even though my curs
The quiet and peaceful night is suddenly invaded by agonizing howls.The full moon shines so well, illuminating the night, that one could see clearly.Running feet could be heard, and the breaking of dry leaves and little sticks tells that someone or something was quickly and speedy approaching the forest.Soon the running feet began to die down and the agonizing howls began fading.The brownish-black wolf, collapsed under one of the broad trees, as its heavy weight hits the trees, some leaves fell from the tree, and the wrapped cloth in its mouth fell off beside it.Its brown eyes were so weary and exhausted, that its eyes lids began closing, energy and strength slowly and at a steady rate ebbing away from its body.Slowly, the wolf began to transform into a beautiful but exhausted lady who had tears running down her cheeks, her brown eyes were red and puffy.She lay there, raised her head, and opened her mouth, agonizing cries escapes from her lips, she cried from the depth of pain
