Peter sighed. This was it. The moment when his incapability as an alpha would be shown to the pack. With that question strewn to his face that way, there was no escaping it. He had to answer without fail. He had to throw himself under the bus.“Peter, we are still waiting for your reply.” Sheila mentioned, folding her hands across her chest, aware that she had just addressed her old friend without his title, as if they weren’t before a congregation of his subordinates. She knew that was wrong, but she couldn’t help herself. Her quest for the truth had triumphed over the need to be so respectful now. As a matter of fact, the respect was beginning to dwindle to zero. She still couldn’t believe that they would exile her daughter, even after the girl had saved his son. Like what heartless being does that?Melvina and Derek looked at Peter at the same time. They both knew what was going on in his head, the battle that was ongoing there, and they both wished that they could save him from t
“Sheila, that’s enough. I am aware that you are angry and frustrated with my family and my pack, which is yours, but please remember that Melvina isn’t just your friend, but also the luna of this pack.” Peter started, standing up from his mighty chair, sighing when he heard the soft unbelieving gasps from a few from the group of seven. Probably Sheila's daughters. He hadn’t meant to lord his authority over them, but he couldn’t afford to let them trample over his mate because of one mistake. No, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if that happened. He felt Melvina’s touch on his hand, and turned aside to stare at her. It’s okay my love. Please sit down. Let's not make this meeting turn out for the worse. If anything, I deserve this. She said through their mind path, and he calmed down, choosing to sit down. “I know that my family and I messed up, I know that I shouldn’t have let my brother trample on this pack, but can we focus more on the dire important issues than insulting
Blenda was aware that she was the object of everyone’s attention, but she didn’t waver from her just made comment. Rather, she looked straight at the leader of the pack whom she actually pitied for his wrong actions, more than detest. She heard Dobah ask her through their private mindpath what the matter was, and why she was interested in the pack’s issues all of a sudden, most especially the painting.“Since we are here, I believe we should get involved, especially as the girl who we are looking for is a mate to the next leader of the pack. I don’t think it was a coincidence. Everything happens for a reason. The fates must have a purpose why it had paired them both together. So, I suggest we help them in any way that we could, help them sort out their problems, so that when we get the girl back, there wouldn’t be much hassles. Yes, it is true that the girl might be angry about what had happened to her, but Dobah, we know from experience that mates can't stay apart from each other f
Melvina perked up at Derek’s question. The prophecy. What is it? She was glad that her son had asked this question for it has been ringing in her mind for a while.She had been hearing about the prophecy since this meeting started, but truthfully, she had no idea what it was. She had only known in the passing, from Agrip, during one of the times she had walked in on him reading one of those his large history books, that it talked about a saviour that would save the entire universe from demise. She wasn’t aware of the details. So, it was understandable that she was curious. She was also of the opinion that they should work together with the ancients for now, and not worry about the future consequences, because if they don’t, there might not be any future. She had already communicated her thoughts to her mate, and he agreed with her on this. Their pack needed all the help they could get. And about where Emma would go after all this, they would let the redhead decide. She hoped that by
“With that said, can I see the painting?” Blenda requested, her hand stretched out toward Shane, in a beckoning pose.Shane looked at Peter, wondering if he should go ahead to fulfill the woman’s request. Even though his Alpha had agreed to a temporary affiliation with the ancients, he would only answer to his alpha, one he could trust.“Go ahead, Shane. Give it to her. I am curious as to what she could find in the picture. But a heads up, we already searched the picture for bugs, and there were none. So I doubt you will find anything there, ancient.” Peter surmised.Blenda cocked her head to the side, and smirked. “Who said anything about bugs? Are bugs the only spying tools you know of, alpha? Aren’t they human equipment? As a supernatural being, I had expected much more. And for the record, my name is Blenda.”Peter ‘s eyes dilated in shock when he understood what Blenda was talking about.“You don’t mean…?”“Yes man. That’s exactly what my mum meant.” Yodah said, speaking up for t
At first, there was no visible change in the portrait. It was just as normal, until five minutes later.The people in the hall first noticed that the painted family now had a scowl on their faces that had been absent before that time. As a matter of fact, the portraits had been smiling. But now, the smiles were off.“Did you see that? Derek’s face has a frown now. It’s like he is pouting,’‘Yes, I am seeing that. Do you think it is as a result of the magic the ancient is spurting…hey look! Little Eva's mouth. She is angry!”“Yes, I see that. What is happening? Why is the painting getting hostile?”“Could it be that the pregnant ancient was right? Could there be magic spyware in the painting that is reacting with the magic?”“Probably so! Omg! Look! What is that black smoke erupting from the painting?”A black smokey figure emanated from behind the painting, and immediately the painting disintegrated into ashes. The hall erupted in screams. Some people ran back, as the black ghouly c
“Stop that Freya!” Melvina shouted, her voice booming across the hall. “Don’t involve Eva in this. She shouldn't even be here. My daughter is too young to be caught in the middle, or exposed to a spy demon!”Freya chuckled, watching Melvina speak as if she was unhinged. She didn’t want her daughter to be caught? The little girl was already implicated. They just didn’t know it, or rather they were unaware of it. From the moment she had set her eyes on Eva, she had known that the girl wasn’t just an ordinary five year old werewolf. It was like Melvina had done something to please the goddess in her previous lifetime, because the goddess had blessed the woman with two special beings; beings different in many ways from their parents. Her thoughts were confirmed the next minute when little Eva spoke.“Mum, stop shouting at Freya. She is my friend. And if she wants my doll to seal off this evil monster so that other people wouldn’t die, then so be it.” Eva spoke, as she handed over her d
“Another painting before the pack split?”“She saw the painting move? How? Did the painting talk?”“She spent the night at the alpha’s palace at one time? Were they that close?”“She had dreams too? Like little Eva? Were they visions too or mere dreams?”“After all this, they still sent her away? Will she ever come back? I will understand if she doesn’t. There is no higher betrayal than this.”“Do you think our warriors are safe? Did they put these demons inside them? You know, when they exchanged them.”When Sheila heard the last part, she couldn’t help but ask herself the reason why Arnold had suggested a change in warriors. Could it be that they had been used somehow to propagate Arnold’s plan?Maya thought the same too. She was wondering if it had been the reason why Leo had betrayed her. Could it be that he had been possessed by a demon that had taken the reins of his mind at the last moment?Kane sighed. They would have to check the warriors too. He said that too. ”We will check
