Three days later …Her mind and eyes drifted at intervals at the door and what she was being taught in the class.She sighed seeing that each time she looks towards the door no one was coming in, she checked her wrist watch, it was just five minutes to the end of the class and he is not present, he had been absent, three days in a row, wasn’t picking her calls or replying her chats and for these days she has been worried.“That would be the end of the class, your assignment should be submitted in our next class.” The professor said with a smile on his face as the students murmured.Merry packed her books quickly as she sighted Kaiden’s friends, Derek and his girlfriend, Danica, who were holding hands and talking, they were going out of class.Just as she stepped out of her seat, she heard her name.“Meredith!” She doesn’t need to look in that direction because she knew who was calling, she sighed and waited.“I really have something important to do!” She exclaimed as she waited for Gi
She halted the car as her sobbing intensifies.She had gone to his house because they had a quarrel, she had yelled and spoken harshly to West cause no matter what they did or the show they put on, her target wasn't effect, he didn't notice them.“I was fucking used!” She exclaimed, again and again, she puts her head on the wheel.“I shouldn’t have trusted him! I shouldn’t!” She yelled at herself.Flashback…“I know what can help you.” He said, Olivia stopped eating, she looked up, she sighed seeing it was West.“West, please leave me the hell—” He sat in the chair before her “You want him right?” He said as he looked in Kaiden’s direction, Olivia followed his eyes.“West?” She called.“I can help you get him, that’s only if you follow the plan that I have.” He said with a smile, Olivia rolled her eyes.“West please just leave—”“He is dating Meredith, isn’t he?” He asked, “I am a male and he is too, I know things you would do that would shift his attention naturally to you, trust me.
Kaiden sighed deeply, he closed his eyes as he lay there in the bathtub, his mind flashing through all that had happened for a while.Flashbacks.•She said she loves me … she said she loves me, does that mean...?“Please no.” Kaiden sighed as he dried the last plate he had washed and placed it gently in the plate rack.“… Someone that genuinely loves you.” He heard Gunner’s voice clearly, it was as if the wizard was beside him, talking.Many times, his mind had flashed back to his pack and all that surrounds his coming to the human world but he had tried so much to push it to the further corner of his mind and most times he had been successful, and that had earned him some quality time of peace of mind but here he was.He sighed as he dried his wet hands and walked to the sitting room, he collapsed on the couch.“I love you.” He heard her voice. He wished she had not said that, he wished that they would just only be dating while he does somethin
Two weeks later.Merry is behind her table studying for the tests they would be having before they all go for their internship.The door opened and both Diane and Zina entered the room, she frowned … this has been happening for a while, Cara and Olivia haven’t been home for a while, and not only even home but also in classes.Yeah … she understands from Olivia’s standpoint, she could understand if Olivia wasn’t in school because if she was the one she would have taken a break because the shame was just too much to bear... West had posted her sex videos and some nudes pictures of her ... That to her was being heartless.“Meredith?!” Zina yelled, something hit Merry dragging her out of her thought, she looked at her roomies.“Jeez! What have you been thinking about? Kaiden?” Diane asked with a wink, Merry smiled. Ever since Olivia and Cara have been absent both Diane and Zina have been good to her and haven’t thrown any hateful words at her but that doesn’t mean she could fully trust th
Chase whistled as he entered the palace's building, he went straight to the throne room where Garvin was supposed to be.“Hey.” He said on getting in, but looking around he saw no one, he could still perceive the lingering scent of Garry which told him that the Garry just stepped out.‘Anyone?’ His mind linked and waited for some seconds.‘My lord?’ Someone answered, he was sure it was one of the warriors.‘Where is the Beta? Cause he isn’t in the throne room’ He asked.‘He should be in the throne room, my lord.’ The warrior answered sounding so sure that Chase rolled his eyes.‘Would you come to check yourself, 'cause I am standing here right this minute and I can’t find him.’‘Oh, he should be with Diana.’‘Oh?...’ Chase paused ‘Okay, thanks.’ He cut off the link.He furrowed his brows as he stepped out of the room, this wasn’t the first, second, or third time that this would be happening, Garry with Diana.Ever since the wolf came, Garry has always been with her, or was he just that
An unconscious Merry is laying down on a large table, Rune proceeds to tie her up, the door to the room opened, Gunner and Kaiden stepped in.The Alpha is dressed in his regalia, and the expression on his face was far away from happiness, the wizard had noticed that the Alpha was filled with great sadness because it was fully evident on his face throughout the days he was being prepared for the sacrifice and now, it seems the sadness had increased a hundred folds.“All ready.” Rune said drawing her master’s attention to herself, she stepped away from where she was standing, she walked over to them.Gunner, again, looked at Kaiden whose eyes were fixed on the human tied up, he sighed, he knows the Alpha is hurting because they would be taking a life but there was nothing they could do “Get the dagger.” As those words left the wizard’s month, Kaiden sighed deeply.Rune went to the bag that was at the other corner, she brings out a black cloth that wrapped something, she went to her mast
**Two days earlier**Chase had his head bent over the paperwork on the table, he had thought to help Garry with checking of the papers while the Beta was resting.The door burst open, Chase frowned as he looked up at who had barged in, only to be greeted with two unfamiliar faces, he stood up to his feet, his smelling abilities were already doing its work of placing their smell, first he didn't know who they were, second, all he could perceive was danger emitting from both the male and female in front of him.The male looked around and said, “So this is it right?” He questioned no one in particular, the lady beside him also looked around, Chase could perceive from her scent that she was not one of their kind just as the male was, the scent from her was strange and stronger…evil? …“Hello, how may I help you?” Chase cut out of his thoughts and asked, only then did they give him their attention, the male smirked.“From the look of things, you should be Chase, the third in command.” He s
**Many years ago**His eyes were bloodshot, and from the tears that had formed in his eyes, he let them flow freely, he didn't fight them.“Derek?” A teen girl stood up from beside an older woman with who she had similar features, she went to the teenage boy who is kneeling beside the bed where an old man was laying, dying.“He is dying.” He said, his voice already cracked, he began sobbing “Danica..” He called as he looked up at the girl beside him, she looked had tears in her eyes too “He is not gonna die right?” He asked, she only sighed, he sobbed all the more, he very well knew the answer to his question.Danica bent to his level and patted him “We are here for you. We are your family now.” She said in a low tone trying to fight the tears that were fighting to be let out – trying to be strong for him.“Jessie?” A frail voice called, the older woman sprang up to her feet and she rushed to his side, Derek held his hand which was shakin
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
