Jack, Ava's father opened his mouth then shut it, still processing what he had just heard. It seemed too much to take in. So, the mate whom he had advised that the young lad should pray to the goddess for, had already been staying with them in the pack, and was a human? What does this mean for the pack? Would a human be Luna? Personally, he didn't have a problem with it, since she alone had the capacity to drive away the beast with time, but what about the others? They didn't know about the lad's current state. Neither did they know about his battle with an Alferic beast. So would they accept the human as their Luna? And about the beast, he doubted that they would know about it. He himself hadn't seen any of that before; had just known it from stories told time without number by his parents. And now, the evil being had possessed their soon to be Alpha and no one knew except from his family and the Alpha's.Did the human know about that? Is her 'chi' strong enough to drive away the b
Emma checked out her appearance for the umpteenth in the long standing mirror, beside the wardrobe in Ava's room, before opening her purse and dropping the plain necklace which Queen Zipfarah had given her into it. She didn't want to forget it. It was too important to her quest tonight. "Where did you get that?" she heard Ava ask her, and turned around sharply, not fully understanding the identity of the 'that' in her friend's question."What…?" she asked, furrowing her eyebrows, even as her gaze shifted to the squirrel subtly, asking too.But he wasn't sure either. He also didn't find it necessary to read Ava's mind for that since she would definitely explain her point soon if she wanted to get answers. And he wasn't wrong, at least not this time."I meant the necklace…where did you get it from?" Ava asked, squinting her eyes as if they were being blinded by the sun. The necklace was exactly the same as the one her grandfather has, even though this one was coated with pure gold whil
The party had already started. It was taking place in the largest hall in the pack, located in the south wing of the Alpha's building. It was rarely used, mostly reserved for occasions such as this which happened once in a while.The females of the pack had really outdone themselves in the decorations of the hall, under the strict supervision of Melvina. There wasn't to be any mistake of any kind. Today wasn't a day for that. Today was her son's birthday party, and not just that, the coronation of a new Alpha.The dignitaries were already arriving in their numbers, girls and boys from neighboring packs attended too, no human was seen around. Of course not, this was a werewolves' party, though the attendance of some supernaturals weren't banned.Alpha Peter is seen at the entrance of the hall, welcoming the very important guests to his son's coronation service, most of them being Alphas of other packs, including his elder brother. He would be a liar if he had said that he hadn't been e
Leo watched silently, the telepathic communication going on between Curtis and Maya, his supposed mate, he still wasn't sure of their mate-ship, but he was very sure that he was very much attracted to her. The gown that she wore glued to her like a second skin, the lacy material giving snippets of how creamy and soft her full skin would be, enticing, seducing. He found out he wanted to hold her, to caress her beautiful face, to hold her to himself by gripping her waist, he wanted to shield her away from the eyes of the other guys in the room which were staring at her openly, unashamedly. The fact that she wasn't even aware of the effect she had on the opposite sex endeared her more to him. He wanted her.But first, he had to know what was wrong. He was sure that Maya must have told Curtis some bad news, seeing that the latter's eyes were dilated out of shock. He needed to speak with her, with both of them.And so, carefully, he untangled his arm from Zoe's, a posture she had manipulat
There was a knock on the door.Derek soughed, glaring at Clem and Shane."Did you tell him that I was here?" He asked them. Currently, they were sitting down on his bed, forming the structure of a tripod stand, or a triangle, if seen from high up the ceiling."No, of course not." Clem replied, taking his gaze away from Derek to the door."I had told him that you were with your mother." "Okay then, if you say so. Check out who is there." he stated, sitting upright on the bed. He had been reclining at the bed board since his two friends had come to drag him into a party he wasn't sure of the outcome. What was the essence of going to the party when Emma hadn't come? It was dangerous-and that's why he hadn't faulted his parents when they had told him an hour ago that he wouldn't be engaging in a combat if it should ensue between them and their foes tonight. They had mentioned the beast as their concern. They couldn't risk having it controlling him, as it is also triggered by the sight or
Derek's heart beat increased, hearing his father's statement, inside him, Maru leaped in joy."She is back for us just like Eva had said." His wolf kept muttering, and a smile slithered across his lips, even as his eyes watered, his thoughts consumed with Emma's face and smile, especially her face when they had been making love. His groins tightened at the thought. He didn't think he would be staying much for the party again whether his father understood this matter or not. He needed her. He needed to be inside her.Immediately, he got out of the bed, surprising his friends who were with him. They all had seen the change in his mood, the drastic change after that change, and the sheer twinkling in his eyes. What news had he gotten now? Was the redhead back?This last thought which was funnily in their minds, each of them, spurred them to stand up instantly after Derek."Derek, what is the problem? Is Anthony back?" Clem asked, adjusting his tie, watching Derek draape his suit's cloak
Emma gritted her teeth as she examined the guy in front of her, not exactly sure of where her anger was coming from her; whether it was from the fact that the guy she had considered her good friend and a brother at one point was a foe, or the fact that with each passing day, she was discovering that each person she had known in her life had been spies in fact. She wondered if the same was true with Amelia and her family. She might not survive the blow if Amelia was to be her foe too. She thought, remembering how she had met Casper.Casper had been a class ahead of her in high school. A rich Casanova, he had been every lady's dream, well, apart from her. At that time, her female classmates had rated her abnormal for not having a crush on the very handsome dude, including her sister. Amelia has almost gone nuts for the dude, an act that had lessened her love for the senior, if there had been any.But one day, when the teachers had been called into the principal's office for an exclusive
Casper took his lips in as he heard Emma's question.What he wanted? Damn! It was her that he wanted.Why did she still manage to steal his breath away like she had a year ago? Then, he had been so whipped that he had settled to being her 'brother' when all he had wanted to do was to sit her on his lap during one of their many discussions, and kiss her senselessly. She had been the only girl he had known all through his life that had turned him down, witches included, and that had driven him crazy, so crazy that he had gone against his Queen's order.When he had attended her high school, he hadn't known of some prophecy nor had he known of her. He had played around with girls then to overcome the grief that losing his parents had caused him. Queen Zipfarah had ordered their death, and that had been why he had gone over to Leonarya's side, whilst plotting his revenge. He would never forgive the queen whom he had thought had been so shrouded with so much goodness. He had thought that s
