The Queen was on the floor struggling to stand up while the king look up to me as if he was seeing me for the first time. I was coughing holding my neck, he rushes to his wife and face me.
“ Who are you?! he asked me.The Queen quickly answered.
“ She is evil, she just used her dark Magic to take advantage of you, I saw her in your bed, I asked her to get up and that was how she attacked me” She said.
The king looked up to me and scream out. “ Guards! The KIng screamed, I began to plead.
“ That’s not true your highness, she…..she….” The Guards came in and held me, I could see the queen smirk,the guards held me and the queen stood up, she slapped me and other the Guards to lock me up.
I began to struggle and suddenly a force took over me and I was able to wriggle out of the hands of the guards, I took to my heels to run and the Guards began to chase after me, my wolf came out and I shifted into it, the guards ordered the gates closed , I ran as fast as I could, my wolf helped in running faster, before the gate got closed , I got a narrow escaped.
I was tired but I have t keep running because the palace guards are still after me.
I ran across the road,a car almost knocked me off but I escaped, I kept running till a truck hit me. It hit me so hard that I landed in the wood, the floor was sloppy, I rolled trough the sloppy floor and landed in another pack.
The people from the pack I ran too gathered around me, my eyes were closed but I could hear them talking , I try to open my eyes but I couldn’t and that was all, I guess I collapsed.
FEW HOURS LATER.
I slowly open my eyes, I was facing a beautiful high ceiling, I couldn’t remember anything,it felt like my memories had been wiped away , I try to recollect anything but I couldn’t but I could tell I was in a strange place not a familiar place.
I try to sit up and a woman in her mid thirties came to help me sit
“Hey Honey” The woman said and tears began to drip down her face. “ How are you doing honey? She asked.
“ Fine” I replied nodding my head.
“ Emilia” She says holding my hands. “ I thought we have lost you forever,I cried, I cried so hard when you went missing, I am glad you are back home” She said and pull me into her embrace. She wraps her hand around me but I didn’t because I do not have an idea what was going on , I can’t even remember a thing.
“ What happened to me? I asked and pull myself away from her, I was looking into her eyes for answer. She held my two hands.
“ We have been searching for you since you were four months old. You were just four months old when I and your father decided to go on Vacation, on our way to the airport we didn’t know some of our pack enemies had layed ambush for us, they attacked us, they shot us and thought we were dead.
We got rescued by our our own soldiers who didn’t arrive early but we never found you until today when you fell into our pack,someone came to call your Dad and I came there then I found you, I didn’t know it was you at first but when I asked them to take you for treatment then I saw your birthmark, the same mark I have on my back” She said and pull down the back of dress to show me, she points at mine on my back smiling.
I took my hand to my back to feel it then I got out of the bed, I walk to the mirror, I turn around and try to look at it,It's true I had the same birth mark.
My mom came to me and pull me into her embrace. “ Welcome home darling” She says to me.
“ Thank you” I replied.
“I will send in some maids to help you clean up, your father the Alpha of this pack and the Emperor to seven Packs, he would like to introduce you to the whole of Seven packs, after that you will tell me who was after you” My mom said and turn around to leave hapily, she was going to open the door when I spoke up.
“ I don’t remember anything” she paused her hand on the door handle then she turn back to me staring into my eyes in surprise.
" You can't remember anything? some people try to hurt you, you were being chased after? anyways let's forget about that, you need to dress get dressed , your faher needs to introduced you to the pack because you will have to learn everything you haven't learn in fast pace because you are going to be the next Alpha of this pack after his demise.
" The next Alpha? I asked.
" Yes, the next Alpha of this pack" she walk to me and held my hand.
" You are our only biologcal daughter, you have a younger sister, Erica but she is our adopted daughter, she has been training as the next Alpha of this pack but now that you are back, it's your rightfulplace and we can't take it away from you but i want you to do one thing,I want you to love her like your blood sister, se is a good girl and you will love her so much and I beieve both of you will get on so well" Mom said with a smile.
" Let me get the maid to prepare you to meet eeryone"She said and kiss my forehead, she walk out of my bedroom.
I stood lost,I shut my eyes and try to recollect my memories but i couldn't.
Two maids came to me they bow to me, they brought me a dress, an expensive gown,it’s not a ball, it’s a long straight gown. I took my bath and dress up, I walk to the mirror looking like those filthy rich kid.I smile at myself in the outfit I am wearing, I went to sit at the vanity and another maid came in with a woman who helped me with my make up.The maids led me to my parents in the Banquet room, there were other royals in the Banquet ,they were all seated round the table,my sister adopted sister Erica also came, she was wearing a one arm straight gown.We both stood and bow to my parents, Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses and Nobles were at the table.There were empty chairs one beside mom and another beside my dad.My dad ask me to come sit with him and my mom ask Erica to come sit with her.ERICA.Staring at Emilia got me so angry, she seems to have come to steal all the dedicated love my parents had shown me all over the years. Just in hours that she was found she has become
“ Yeah, you are right” mom replied with a smile holding her hand.I stare at her as she walks to the door, she opens the door and look back to me, she stare at me in a way that I could feel something is not right about her.I could feel my wolf trying to speak to me but it keeps pulling itself back. Mom was speaking to me and nothing from all she was saying was entering into my hearing until she tapped me.“ hey,is everything okay?My mom asked.“ Yeaaah, I don’t know”I said.“ You don’t know? She asked.“ Just trying recollect my past, maybe I could remember” I Lied.“Okay, The doctor will be here soon to tell us what happened to you medically’ My mom said.“ I should take my bath and get dressed then” I said to my mom.“ Okay honey” She said and kissed me on my fore head, she got off the bed and took her leave.When she left , I undressed and walk to the bathroom, I flash back to my vision and my dreams,all I could feel was danger, I am in danger with not one person, two people, they
Pregnant?I asked in serious confusion,I steal a glance at her andtry to place my hand on my tummy but I couldn’t“ Who are you ?I look up to her. I can tell she isn’t a good person, a very dishonest person, I could see cruelty in her, the way she paces around me and look at me.“ Why are you playing pretence Estelle? You think you are smart? You think even though you found out already that the king is your mate, I would let go of our deal? She asked. She squat in front of me, she look deeply into my eyes and smile. Stop trying to be smart Estelle, you are nothing but a baby to me, you can’t pretend and think I will fall for all those cheap antics” She says.“ Deal? My Mate? The king? I said to myself in a lower voice, all I remember was being tricked by my adopted sister Erica out and someone injecting me with something but the whole thing about this woman seems strange to me.I began to try to search my memory if I have met this woman before? And I remembered her she was one of the w
FEW MONTHS LATER.I dress up at night, I didn’t dress like I would have really dress, I cast a magic on the king to keep sleeping.I walked out of the palace with the nurse with my fake pregnancy,I had to do this to make Everyone believe that I am pregnant.Did I just say babies? Yes babies,she is expecting triplets, Two boys and a girl, we had a scan of the babies about a month ago, she could put to bed anytime from now so I go to check on her frequently.The driver drove us to the house, we step into the house , I could hear whimper, it’s whimpers of pain as we walked closer to the underground where she is. The nurse rushes towards the door,I opened the door, she was already in Labour, she was in pain.The nurse rushes towards her, I untie her legs but not her hand, yes that is where the strength of her Magic lies, her magic is powerful than mine, I know there is magic in her voice when she screams out for help and that is why I always make sure she has gag on her mouth.The nurse
“ What?! I asked,I felt disappointing because I already announced to the kingdom that I am expecting triplet and they are looking forward to it,even the king is looking forward to the triplets.I clasp my hand together and pick one of the triplet. “ Drop the baby with down syndrome with his mom,I can’t deal with the stress of raising such baby” The nurse look at me and was going to speak.“ Do as I say” I said with a straight face. “ Pick the babies and let’s go, I need to go and lay myself at the Royal hospital,I need to be fast about it” The nurse picked up the babies as we were about to leave she look back at Estelle and look into my face.“What about the mom of the triplets , we cannot leave her in this condition” She says with her head bowed.“ Her condition is none of your business, do as I say and don’t ask stupid questions” I said.Estelle look into my eyes, she was trying to struggle to move in her chains but I was just laughing . I feel like strangling her to death but I was
I look towards the window trying to search my memory.“I should remember! I should …..I….Should remember my past” I said.“ Aunt Agnes needs help, she has been through so much since I know her, one man named Ernest just left, he always bully Aunt Agnes, he will take us all away if Aunt Agnes doesn’t pay his money” Ethan said.I look towards the door, Agnes stood with a tray of food and fruits in her arms, the happy beautiful face I saw earlier wasn’t the one I am seeing now, she is suffering because of me and my son.She paused for a while then she tried to wear a smile on her face.“My son told me everything, I promise I will repay you for your good deeds, it’s all because of you that I am alive” I said.“No, you don’t have to do that , I wil save up to sort it out” Agnes said.“ No,I won’t let you do this alone,it’s my duty to pay you back” I said.“You should eat first before it gets cold”Agnes says.Few days later we bonded so well then suddenly I saw my son standing alone, I call
Panic overwhelmed me, but I took another breath. What waited for me beyond the walls of the casino was much, much worse. I had to succeed in this mission. Ethan my son needs me. Agnes and I needed each other, we also have Ernest debt to pay.. Speaking of Ethan , Agnes told me he picked him beside me when she saved me. Agnes might be nasty playing stupid games like this but she is a good friend who cared so much. I can’t blame her too much, she is a doctor with Magic from another pack, she got banished for not being able to control her magic, now she doesn’t even have them anymore because she asked the moon goddess to take them from her. She took care of both me and my son when I was in Coma for good six years, she cater for me and since I had nothing to give back to her , I need to support her. I look around in fear as I keep seeing the kind of place we are , there are so much entourage and it looks as if war was going to begin between those gambling anytime soon. Focus. Pay att

“I can’t stop thinking about Selina,” Emilia said wistfully.King turned to face her. “Truthfully, I had also not expected her to do that.”“I was moved by the fact that Selina apologized.”“That’s true,” King agreed. “To be honest, she was the last person I expected to apologize to you.”After Emilia had saved Selina’s life, she had come to apologize to her. It was quite a show of humility as she had gone down on her knees and bowed to the ground before Juniper. Juniper had pleaded with her to get up, but she’d refused to get up until she had said her piece.“I’m sorry for how I treated you growing up,” Selina had said, with teary eyes. “You were right. You never killed Dad. I was always so angry at you for that night, but I never thanked you for saving me that night. And that sucks.“So thank you, Selina. Thank you. Twice you saved my life, and all I ever did was hate you and bully you. I wish I could turn back time and do things differently, but I can’t. Do you think you can forgiv
He let out a sigh of relief, then collapsed on the bed again. His thighs burned something furious and he was afraid of moving too suddenly. He couldn’t deal with a cramp right now.Emilia’s breathing started to level out after five minutes. She had the energy of five people in bed, and no matter how tired King thought she was, she was always ready for another tumble.Her intensity and desire scared KIng, but it was still one of the things that he loved the most about her. She matched his energy in so many different ways and their time together always ended up looking like one of them had a point to prove to the other.She turned to look at him, beaming. “That was….”“Amazing?” King finished for her, chuckling.“I was going to say scary, but amazing works as well.” Emilia smiled. “Really, I thought I was going to burst an artery for a moment there.”“Lucky you,” King teased. “I think I heard a few pop.” Emilia laughed as he leaned forward to kiss her forehead, and then her lips.“Poor
With tears in her eyes, she admitted what she had been holding back from admitting for so long. “I love you too, King.”King smiled wider and put his arms around her waist. He pulled her close, gently, and kissed her softly. Juniper melted into his embrace and forgot all about her pain and fear and frustration. She wrapped her arms around King, happy that she could hold him again.She had been so afraid of losing him. She had been so afraid of dying. And yet…here they were. She gripped him tighter, wanting to make sure he was real, not another sliver of her creative mind, a figment of her imagination. Yes, he was real. This was real.She was startled to hear voices and broke the kiss abruptly. The entire pack approached them, whooping and cheering loudly. She blushed slightly with embarrassment. She had completely forgotten all about them, and with good reason.“Wow!” Articus said. “What you did? We have never seen anything like it before. Where did you learn that from?”Emilia blinke
She walked slowly to the side, keeping herself on his blind side as she approached. She tried to levitate off the ground but couldn’t. All her powers had manifested physically into the spear in her hand.The only mana left in her was what powered her to move and function. She had to strike, and quickly, or she would be dead before she realized it.King had seen her get up, had seen the spear form in her hand. By some miracle, he had managed to keep his expression neutral and his eyes on the vampire.The vampire landed softly in front of him and pulled his blood spear out of the air. “So, this is how it ends.” He grinned wildly. “You fought well.”King held his gaze. “Don’t patronize me. Do what you have to do. Do you remember your promise? My life for theirs. No harm comes to my pack or my mate.”“Why the rush to die?” The vampire shook his head in mock sympathy. “Such a naive little boy. I made you no promises, fool. But I will promise you this. When I kill everyone you love and dest
The vampire threw his head back and laughed maniacally. He held the whole town hostage. He was judge, jury, and executioner, and he had all the power. Worst of all, he wasraving mad.He formed another spear in the air and it hovered beside his head. He shoved Emilia casually, ever so absentmindedly, to the ground. She crashed into the ground and bumped her knees as she fell.Pain lanced through her. Her palms felt like she wielded two balls of fire, and she couldn’t feel her legs. She stretched out on the ground, taking stock of her injuries. She never suffered any real damage from injuries, thanks to her powers, but she still felt pain.She watched the vampire as he floated toward King. Her chest squeezed with fear when she looked at the long, thin spear that moved before him. He had a look of pure evil on his face.King, on the other hand, looked resigned to his fate. He looked like someone who was waiting to die. He looked ready for it, like he had been waiting his entire life to d
He saw the vampire hovering high in the sky, watching the people. King had a sinking feeling in his stomach as he watched the still vampire.The vampire spread his arms to the side. At first, nothing happened. And then, the air around him shimmered. Thin, red objects appeared in the sky. Thousands of them, pointed like needles.King let out a wordless cry when he recognized the pointed objects floating in the sky. Blood spears. This was why the vampire had spent his time killing and discarding of so many animals.This was blood magic on an unprecedented scale. Cold realization washed over him. The vampire was going to wipe out the entire pack in one attack, and there was nothing that he could do to stop it.King clambered up to his feet, feeling defeated. How many of those could he block? How many people could he have saved today? He arrived at one inevitable answer. Not enough.As he had feared, the spears were turned toward the pack. His mouth ran dry and he watched wordlessly, awai
His body trembled from pain and he could feel a few broken ribs. He got up shakily and the pain lacerated through him, even as his body started to slowly knit itself back together.Still disoriented, he looked up just in time to see a fist flashing toward his face. The vampire’s bony knuckle connected solidly with King’s jaw and sent his head reeling backward.The force of the blow caused a shock wave to spread out around King and the vampire. He went flying backward, crashing into the ground several times before he came to a stop several yards away.He got up slowly and felt a hot, white pain in his jaw and knew that it had been shattered. He limped, his front legs faltering as his shoulder had not fully healed. The vampire floated toward him slowly as he felt his jaw. The vampire grinned at him and licked his lips with a pale tongue. “My turn.”King had no idea how to escape the blows that rained down on him. He ducked as furiously as he could, but half the strikes connected, and he
Fannar drilled Selina about what she had seen, and asked for details about her fight with the vampire.Selina cackled drily. “Fight? That wasn’t a fight. That was a beating. I barely managed to get my hands up before it ripped into me with the force of a bear and the speed of a fox. I have never seen anything like that in my life before. I think we are in big trouble.”The room fell silent and the alphas exchanged glances with each other. Asher spoke up first. “Did he give any indications why he took your sister?”Selina gave him an incredulous look. “If he did, I didn’t notice. I was too busy picking pieces off my ass off the curb.” She sighed and slumped into her seat. “What do we do?”The question hung over the room like a thick cloud of black smoke. No one had an answer to Selina’s question. No one knew how to find the vampire in the woods with powers like she had just described.Worse, they had no idea if Juniper was still alive. King didn’t want to think about what could have ha
He frowned and narrowed his eyes at her. She shriveled under the scrutiny. He looked down at her stomach and she covered herself reflexively in horror. Knowing how he felt about the wolves, she was afraid of what he would do to her unborn child.A look of realization settled on his face. “You’re carrying a wolf child in your womb…” His voice sounded as soft as the wind rustling through leaves, barely a whisper.He let go of her wrist and took two steps back. He looked hurt and upset. “How could you? How could you allow your womb to be tainted by wolves?” And then, his eyes turned as cold as ice and his voice hardened. “I will wipe them all out. I will start with Moonwood, and then I will wipe every last one from the Starlight Valley and wider.”Emilia started to plead but he just walked backward, with a look of cold resolution on his face. Without another word, he turned around and sped off into the woods, heading toward the town.Without thinking, Emilia started running. From the den
