TALKING WITH THE ALPHA
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Emma's hard breathing could be heard as she took sharp intake of breaths, in and out, intermittently.
What had she just seen? She queried her mind, her eyes blinking continually as if in sheer disbelief of what she had seen.
She ambulated towards the painting again, hoping to see the glow which had scared the life out of her. But when she had gotten to the painting, caressing it even again, hoping for the glow that had sharply burst forth out the painting few minutes earlier before dying out as fast as it had come, she had been disappointed; the glow wasn't forthcoming, and the picture had returned to its former state.
Had she been imagining it? She thought to herself, then shaking her head voraciously the next second, as she refuted the thought. She hadn't been dreaming or imagining; she had been wide awake and had seen the painting shone for some seconds.
For the next minute she cussed about her fi

THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION DISCUSSING THE DREAM
Emma sighed, slightly relieved that Melvina had interrupted her unnecessary tale and convo with her husband which was already getting uncomfortable, and slightly pricked about what could be the aftermath of her coming. She hoped, actually had a profound faith in the older woman, that she wouldn't start going berserk like the other women she had known in Florida did, whenever they see their husbands with a fine woman. But still, she thought that she needed to explain herself, to avoid misunderstandings.And so, before Alpha Peter could answer his mate, whom he had not really been surprised to see, knowing her very sensitive nature; Emma came out with an apology."I'm sorry, Melvina. Nothing really happened. He was just asking me some questions. Please don't misunderstand the situation." She rambled out, her eyes which were both focused on Melvina, filled with utmost sincerity and pleading.But Melvina smiled, after a coup
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION DISCUSSING THE DREAM II
"The skies had been dark…" Emma started, then paused, her earlier resolve about to weaken. She still thought that the dream wasn't shapeless, void and stupid. But then she had seen things recently that would make her dreams a bit not far from comparison."Yes, continue." Melvina said, squeezing her hands again, reassuring her that it was okay to just talk."The skies had been dark, and I had seen some animals fighting." Emma stated, darting her eyes from Melvina to her husband, to know what they already thought of the part of the dream she had just mentioned. But their faces were blank, as if she hadn't even said anything.That was a boost. She would just rattle the dream and be off to bed, at least to relish in the bed sheets for an hour or two, before daybreak. She was sure that the time would be between 1am to 3am."Animals? What kind of animals?" Alpha Peter asked, interrupting her thought
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION SCAREDY CAT
Alpha Peter struggled with speechlessness, as he digested what the redheaded human in front of him had just said and implied. A big black wolf with deep blue eyes? That was the exact description of his son. He had seen it first hand in the forest. If not for the other interesting factor, the phanthom and the human, he had almost gushed at the largeness of his son's wolf, and its sheer blackness; and he hadn't even turned 18 yet. He had been happy, but then the issue of the phanthom had zapped his interest.And the human? Who and what could she be? He wondered, staring at her, not even knowing what to say. And why would her son sacrifice himself for her? Were they mates?No, impossible. He concluded. He remembered he had asked his son, sometime yesterday, if the redhead was his mate, based on his instincts, and his son had replied in the negative. So, what could this mean? He refused to believe that the human's dream was a mere nightmare like
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION SCAREDY CAT II
Alpha Peter blanched as he looked on the human who was still shivering out of fear for a painting that had been in the sitting room for more than five years now. A painting that has been admired by all and sundry. And now the painting was moving?? He mused. He thought that he had seen it all from the human, but alas, this particular one was a new vogue in town or whatever his mind was trying to tell him. But he was sure that her dreams were not just nightmares but a premonition of what was to happen, he believed that quite alright, but not this one. He didn't think she was telling the truth. How can the drawn moon goddess move? Next, she would say that it was talking.And so, in a bid to prove the human wrong and her thoughts fallible, he threw a glance, sceptically still, at the only painting in the room, only to find out that the woman in the painting was just as the same as she had always been, graceful, peaceful, elegant and inspiring. He clucked his tongue,
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION I'M A GROWN UP !
Emma sighed in utmost relish for the umpteenth time as she bit into the last pancake in her plate, an act which caused a smile to sneak up on Melvina's lips, even as she thought on the short but impacting events of the early wees of the morning.Her mind hadn't been at rest, especially over the issue, that her son had died in the two occasions that the redhead had seen him in her dream, and he had died while saving the human too. She had been wondering and considering letting her mate know that the redheaded human was his son's mate. But she knew that it will complicate the issue more further.If her mate knows, she knew that he wouldn't let the human be the Luna of his pack which he had spent much of his years grooming and protecting from the evil shackles of his elder brother; and so might force his son to get married to his beta's daughter, Claire, which she doesn't trust one bit, or rather he would send the human away.
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION WHITE HAIRS
The sound of birds chirping in the surroundings woke Emma up for the first time from her deep slumber. She stretched lazily on the comfy bed, her hands and legs spreading to the whole directions of the bed; north, south, east and west, as she took in a deep breath, before opening her eyes fully."Wheew…" She breathed out, turning her head from side to side, taking in her surroundings. Obviously, she was still in Maya's room."Where did she go?" She asked to no one in particular, but referring to Maya.She sat up on the bed gingerly, holding her head suddenly as she felt a sharp throb on her head. She winced again, and again as the pains came in quick successions causing her to gasp.Had she hit her head on somewhere? She thought, as she tried to remember whatever might have been the cause of this discomfort. But nothing came up. The only thing that rang up in her mind was the conversation had
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION AT HIS COUSIN'S PACK
Derek and Maya had left early in the morning with the warriors of the Wind Winders Pack to meet up with the party going on in their pack, especially in honour of the celebrant, who might be their next alpha. Well, it would be determined this night. And although the celebrant was the younger, the pack members thought that he had higher chances of becoming the alpha, especially since his elder sister hadn't been conferred the title since she had turned 18, two years ago, even though it was known that she was more than fit for the job, more wiser and stronger.But Maya couldn't care less. Actually, she wasn't interested in becoming the alpha of her pack. The weeks, a month now, that she had spent with Derek and his family, had opened her eyes to things she had been missing while in her own pack. She wished that she could take up the blood oath and join her cousin's pack. And even if at last she was conferred with the Alpha's title since she was the firs
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION AT HIS COUSIN'S PACK II
Derek nodded at his uncle's greeting with his face totally blank of any emotion. He didn't want to let out that he felt like ripping the older man's lips which he had used to laugh evilly at him, especially for sending his cousin after him, to spy on him. He just kept mute, while staring at the place which had been his home at one time, before the world had fallen.He watched as his cousin answered questions about his pack and all the things that had been happening there, as if he was absent, as if he wasn't there. He wondered why all the questions and its necessity to the betterment of his uncle's pack. The older man didn't even ask about his cousin had been faring. But he pretended like he didn't notice. He just looked around the sitting room, the faded paintings, the rusty sculptures, and the worn out furniture, not really thrift worthy, but still a bit worn out. He wondered why it was this way. Why his uncle hadn't been able to keep up and maintain the pack

THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION ANNABEL’S TRIAL
Emma’s eyes were as active as anything active as she watched the elders slowly walk into the hall reserved for judging cases, like Annabel’s. As she watched them, her feet kept dancing on the floor in a funny unsteady motion; she was unsteady. One, one. Then two, two. Then one two. Once, Amelia had looked at her, with a piqued eyebrow. ‘What is that?’ Her eyes seemed to ask, but Emma had given no answer. What is it? It should be what are they?! When they were hurrying over to the hall, after convincing the guards that they would be around for the trial too, her sister had whispered that the cabin, her parent’s cabin, had been burnt by the master, Slediv. It had brought Emma up short, making her stagger on her feet for two reasons. That Slediv had really traced them, even without her then, and that the cabin was burnt; the loss it meant for her parents. Would they regret helping her then? Prescott didn’t think so. But Emma was still worried about it, just like her mind had tried
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION BAD BLOOD
One week later:Emma had run to the clinic, immediately Adah had burst into her apartment with the news that Annabel and Amelia were awake. Over the couple of days in class, they had bonded over gossip, and training, seeing as the latter was the only one that had been sincerely interested in her. Emma had run with Prescott in her hands, and Adah right behind her. And when she arrived at the room she had frequented daily with prayers, and saw her sister and her friend chatting tiredly, she let out a scream of happiness and hurried over to them. “Amelia! Annabel!” She called gaily, garnering the attention of the two females sitting cross-legged on the same bed. Before they could let out a shout or smile of their own, Emma’s hands were already around them. “Oh my goodness, I am so happy for both of you…” she paused. “but give me a heartache again, and I will skin you both alive..” Annabel and Amelia divulged bouts of laughter, with the nurses. Prescott and Adah weren’t left behind,
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY IV
Caden sighed in relief at his mate’s words, wanting to believe at all costs that the years he had spent with her, that the love they had shared, hadn’t been in vain. He didn’t know what he would have done otherwise. Cry, brood? Neither was acceptable in these times. And so, he wasn’t moved when his son piqued an eyebrow at his mate’s words, or when his daughter’s lips turned up—in disgust or curiosity, he wasn’t sure. But he didn’t care. He just hung on to the thread that his mate was spinning with. “I didn’t cheat on my mate, I’m sure he would have found out if I had done so, considering the mate bond and all that…” There was a pause, where relief sunk its foothold the more in Caden and his children. “So, if that’s what you are thinking, Caden… if that’s what you all are thinking, cut it out. I was surprised too when Claire had met me with the news at first, and I didn’t tell you, Caden, because I wasn’t sure how to explain the phenomena to you. I knew you held the lineage of you
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY III
Chyra didn’t know what Clem was talking about—the end of the world, and all that—but she knew that she was to blame for Claire rejecting her mate considering what she had soaked into her daughter’s mind about the alpha’s family, about how the Luna seat was her birthright. She also knew that she shouldn’t be working with Arnold. But she was too proud to concede to that, to concede to anyone, and so she shrugged her shoulders to Clem’s question. In the next second, she saw why that had been a wrong play on her part. When she saw Clem fume in anger, when she saw Claire glare at her stinkingly, when she saw her mate watch her like she was foolish, she knew that she had made a mistake. It would have been best if she had kept quiet, than giving off that nonchalant attitude. But her pride held her back from apologizing. Why should she apologize for being a mother caring to give her daughter the best? “Mother, are you so daft that…” Clem was saying when his father shouted him down. Caden
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY II
At this point, Clem didn’t know what to think about his sister, Claire. He had thought that their parents had been her motivator to reject Curtis, to follow Curtis up and down, to join the meetings that prince Nathan held with the others, but from the thick astounded silence that dwelled in the room, it could be safe to say that his sister had been acting on her own, without any external influence. He didn’t know what to think of that. He looked at his mother; she looked more shocked out of her shoes and mind than his father, quite expected since the mother and daughter duo were quite close, since his sister had no mind of hers, except put into place by his mother. As much as he was not happy with his twin, he was happy that for once his mother had no part to play in her recent escapades. “What do you mean…Claire?” Caden asked, pushing himself ahead, his elbow resting on his knees. “What do you mean when you say that Curtis is your mate? When did that happen? When did you find out?
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY
What Claire saw first when she stepped into her father’s room was her parents sitting in the living room, with Clem, their backs hunched, the air filled with pregnant silence, waiting. They were waiting for her. She knew it from the moment she had dropped a note in Clem’s mind that she was on her way home. That he hadn’t bothered with a response, should have been enough to let her know that her twin was still angry with her. But she had held out hope, until she had reached the borders of the pack and he hadn’t been waiting for her. This was very different from the times they had quarrels. She knew, however, that this quarrel was different. She had denied her mate, because of the throne; had gone ahead to push Emma away from the pack; and when Derek still hadn’t chosen her, she had returned to Curtis because he was an Alpha. Would she have returned to him if he wasn’t that? She didn’t know. That was the truth. She didn’t know. She might have gone back to Curtis, even if he wasn’t a
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION ANOTHER MATE FOR CURTIS
At Wind Winders Pack.“Dad, what is this? What was Zoe doing in my room so early in the morning?” Curtis questioned, a second after he rushed into the dining room where his parents were having breakfast. He had slept in obviously, but he didn’t care. Yesterday’s training had been rigorous after all. He darted his eyes between his mother and father; his mother’s widened eyes told him that she had no idea what he was talking about; quite expected since this turn of event hadn’t been part of their plans. Hence, he trained his eyes on his father; the old man just continued eating his breakfast like he hadn’t spoken. Curtis thought of repeating himself, but thought better of it. He walked up to his father, and took away his plate of food; an act that he wouldn’t have been able to try before; an act that might have spelt his death; but considering his father’s few options of allies, he knew that he had a chance to live. And so, when his father glared at him heatedly, he didn’t quake in hi
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION PRESCOTT IS AWAKE
“Hey…how are you feeling?” Emma whispered, touching Prescott’s head softly, as she watched him open his eyes for the second time. The first time, she had screamed and had called for the nurse in charge of his treatment, not minding that Adah was with her. Nothing could have dampened her joy. She had just checked on Annabel and Amelia, who although their vitals were stable, was still asleep, yet out of coma. According to the chief nurse, a week was enough for them to wake up now. Then she had checked on Prescott, and only touching him with fondness had elicited the response of his eyes opening. Emma had been overjoyed. “Prescott, can you hear me?” She asked softly, dragging a seat to herself, whilst Adah watched on, not understanding the communication method of the squirrel and Emma. Like the people in the community, she had never seen a talking animal, or rather an animal that communicates as Emma had painted Prescott to be. Her friend who was in the upper echelons of the community
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION STARTING CLASSES III
No professor spoke to her, and Emma couldn’t help but wonder why. Had Prince Shiloh ask them to avoid her? Or had professor Brooks’ defeat scared them away from her? Well, if that was the matter, then she believed it was for the greater good. She had no interest in making affiliations after all, so long as they taught her what she wanted to know, and treated her fairly. “So, do you think you can cope?” She heard Adah ask, and turned aside to see her new seat mate. The mischievous glint in the latter’s eyes made her smile, howbeit small. “I believe I can.” She answered, before getting on her feet. She took her bag which Gira had provided that morning and slung the straps across her shoulder. It was time to go home, or rather check on her friends. Classes were done for the day. “Where are you going?” Adah asked her, getting to her feet. As they walked toward the door, a couple of the students swiftly moved, and stood before the door, causing Emma to furrow her eyebrows. But she chose
