It was already noon and we had not made any progress in finding Joan. We also lost track of the wolf's scent somehow. The day was obviously doomed and we were stuck. Alpha Gerald firmly believed that black magic was involved in this and I honestly didn't have a reason to disagree because one minute we had a lead and the next thing we knew,we were clueless. I was mostly quiet throughout the day and only gave one-word replies or said nothing at all when I was being spoken to and I could tell it was driving Alpha Gerald nuts because of how grim his face was and I wished I could snap out of this horrible mood too but I just could not.When it got towards evening I was fed up with the whole thing. It was annoying feeling powerless like this and I hated the feeling so much. I turned to Alpha Gerald and say"I think we should just forget about this search for Joan. It's quite obvious that will never find her with how difficult searching for her is proving plus she's probably dead or somethi
It was a bright morning I had just showered and was having breakfast in my room when Alpha Gerald badged into my room. I was about to scold him for not knocking but he overrode me"I found her!" he exclaimed excitedly"You found who?" I asked as I jumped up from my sitting position and take big strides to meet him across the room"I found her, Joan, I found her" he said pulling me in for a hug. I was immobile for a hot minute trying to process what he had just said to me "What do you mean you found her? Where is she? Is she here?" I force myself out of his arms and look around but I could not see her or anyone for that matter."She's not here yet. I know where she is but security is tight so I came back here to take a few members of the pack with me so we can get her out of there" he explained to me"Oh my goodness that's good news, should I come with you? Of course I should, just give me a second to get ready.." "No Lizzy, you are not coming with me" he cuts me off and I stare at h
The ruckus and loud noise woke me up from my deep sleep. I could hear shouts and things breaking. Had Invaders entered the May flower coven and started a fight? Because what was all the shouts about. I look out through the window. The whole thing seemed to be coming from the King's Court and the guards outside were not even moving an inch. It was as though all the noise and shouts was a normal occurrence to them. Some minutes later Alpha Gerald badged into my room without knocking again. It was becoming a habit. "Let's go for a drive" he commands me and I was so shocked I could not even say anything, I just nodded, picked my bag and followed him out the door.He was driving so fast and I was calm because I felt he needed it to blow off some steam. I already put two and two together to know that he had an argument with his father about something I had no idea of.The car slowed down and stops and I see that we were at the riverside. We sit in silence for a while before I asked him"Y
Joan had gotten stronger and when I raised the topic of leaving the Mayflower coven territory back to our house, Alpha Gerald and his mother wanted to have my head. They insisted that we stayed a little longer but what I knew they meant was for us to stay forever and become part of their pack but I wasn't complaining at all because life at Mayflower coven was a lot easier and better than the one back home. Sarah on the other hand could not abandon her home so she left but visited as often as she could.Alpha Gerald and I had gotten very close and his wolf and my Lycan really enjoyed each other's company so much. We always made sure to spend at least an hour just hanging out and talking about everything and anything.His relationship with his father was slowly becoming worse but there was nothing anyone could do about it because it was a pointless situation as Alpha Gerald somehow managed to get the proof he was looking for and it was shown that in fact the kingship title doesn't belo
The whole coven was restless because of the war. Alpha Gerald and his father had had another argument which involved breaking of things and it was much worse than the usual that Luna Marissa had to intervene and stop them from killing each other.It was very late in the night and no matter how hard I tried I was just unable to sleep. I heard my door open quietly and I jolt up to protect myself from the intruder before I realized it was Gerald who had slipped into my room."Hey princess,did I wake you?" He whispered as he came to join me in bed"No, I can't sleep " I tell him as we both sit facing each other"Oh baby, I'm so sorry about that. If only my crazy father would have some sense and stop this madness " his eyes darken with anger"I think you father must have a good reason for this war because no leader would want to put his people at risk right?" I try to reason with him"That has crossed my mind but why won't he tell me his reason? Why are we going into all this blindly? I d
I was restless late in the night but once I felt Alpha Gerald's touch I was immediately put to sleep. I woke up alone,if I had not known better I would have thought his presence was a dream but I knew he had been here and had left early because today was the commencement of the war. I could hear long distant growls and gunshots. The war had started. I prayed to the goddess that nobody I loved came to harm especially him.The war was expected to take place for a week. The agreement between the May flower clan and the Megatron clan was that the war was going to start today and end in the next two weeks and that was because Alpha Raymond didn't want any random person in the clan to be involved.The women and children were all locked up in a safe place that had everything they would need for the whole war week. I was supposed to go get Joan and join them at the hiding place although Joan insisted she went to war but she was not in the right place to go to war so I argued against it.I dr
I was laying down on a bed and my head was pounding. I tried to open my eyes but I quickly shut them at the brightness of the room. Where was I and who had kidnapped me? I hear footsteps approaching and the door to the room opening and I force my eyes wide open in regardless of the harsh light.A young girl was standing at the other end of the room, serving a table without even offering me a second glance"Hey!" I called out to her"Who are you and where in the goddess name are my?" I queried her irritated with the way she was taking her time to arrange the table with food I was not going to eat anyway.When she didn't answer my questions, I try to sit up and it felt like the room was spinning when I got a sharp pain in my head. What have this people given to me because I had definitely been drugged. I managed to get up and walk to the girl. I was very angry and I made sure to show her that"I said who are you and what is this place?" I growl at her and I could literally see the shiver
I open my eyes and see that I'm laying down on my bed. How I got back to the Matilda coven territory, I had no idea and it really bothered me how Alpha Mathieu and his pack could assess the place easily although I knew it was because most of the security was gone and the one's left were very few.I look around the room and see my bag of books that I had packed before I was abducted by the Megatron pack. The encounter was a blur on my memory but at the same time I could remember it clearly. Everything he said to me was very questionable but at the same time very convincing and that made me very confused.I stood up from the bed and picked up my bag and immediately I stepped outside, I see Mira standing at the far end of the hallway. I had no idea how to explain to her what had happened or if should tell her at all and before she reaches me I make up my mind not to tell her because I just knew that she would not understand and might label me an enemy or a threat and I was neither, at lea
Lizzy's POVAs I slowly woke up in the cozy warmth of our tent, my body still ached from the tiresome labor. I struggled to piece together the hazy memories of the long night. I only remembered being hovered above but Joan and the women before I finally succumbed to the beacon of the anesthesia I had been given. But as my eyes focused, I saw Alpha Gerald standing near me, his strong arms cradling a bunch of clothing and it took me a while to realize that it was our child. Our precious baby. A mix of excitement and exhaustion washed over me, and tears flowed freely down my cheeks. I was a mother. I had built my own family.Gerald turned towards the bed when he heard some movements and the sound of my sobbing and I saw his face light up as his eyes met mine and he walked to the bedside. As he came closer, I could see that his eyes too were filled with unshed tears and it made me even tear up the more."She's here, Lizzy," Gerald whispered as he came to sit on the bed, his voice laced w
Gerald's POVIt felt like an eternity since the labor started. I had been preparing to go hunting with some of the rouge's turned park members when Joan had come running to me and I had left everything to go to her but soon I was sent out of the tent. Lizzy's excruciating screams resonated through the camp, sending shivers down my spine. I paced frantically outside the tent as Joan and a few other women were tending to her. The faces of the women that were outside with me, were etched with worry, mirroring the concern that gnawed at my own heart. But I had to remain strong.I glanced at the male pack members, their eyes filled with anxiety. Ethan, the leader of the rogue park stood beside me, his firm gaze fixed on the tent. We shared a silent understanding - the well-being of our new pack was intertwined with the happiness and health of Lizzy and our newborn.The piercing cries grew louder, and I could barely contain my impulse to storm into the tent and alleviate Lizzy's pain. Yet,
Life in the woods became a seamless routine filled with love and support. Despite the challenges we faced, we remained resilient, constantly looking out for one another. We had each other's backs, knowing that together, we could overcome anything. Even the nightly creatures if they came to look for us and find it by para venture.As the days went by, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched. On several occasions, I caught glimpses of shadows lurking in the trees, their presence sending chills down my spine. But I refused to let fear consume me. As long as they kept their distance, I was determined to focus on the happiness and safety of our pack. I wanted to mention it too Gerald and Joan on several occasions but I changed my mind as I didn't want to burden them with thinking we were being watched especially as I didn't know for sure and it turned out to be just paranoia.One evening, while Joan and I sat around the campfire, cooking dinner and waiting for Gerald to ret
The icy wind cut through the Mayflower clan, matching the somber atmosphere that hung heavy in the air. Ever since the news of my pregnancy had spread, the town had become consumed with fear and uncertainty. Whispers followed me wherever I went, and the worried glances from the werewolves increased day by day. I had absolutely no idea that birthing a halfbreed would bring about challenges and even if I did I possibly couldn't have foreseen the extent of it at all. It seemed as though everyone was fixated on the idea that our child would be unable to control their blood lust, causing a rift in the very fabric of our peaceful community but the basis of there fear was not even proven as in recent years.Restless nights turned into sleepless weeks, and each day brought new concerns as I waited for Gerald to make up his mind concerning the solution of me running away from the clan and going somewhere far away. Even in the privacy of Alpha Gerald and I's bedroom, I couldn't shake off the
The next morning, as the sunlight gently filtered through our windows, illuminating the room, we woke up to face the challenges ahead. Over breakfast, we delved into a heartfelt conversation, sharing our hopes, fears, and ideas for how to navigate this delicate situation. I didn't even have an appetite but I had to eat something for the baby."It's crucial that we engage with the community," Gerald suggested, his voice calm and assured. "We must educate those who hold misconceptions and challenge their outdated beliefs. By fostering understanding and spreading awareness, we can encourage acceptance and embrace the diversity within our pack."I nodded in agreement, feeling a surge of determination. "We could organize events or workshops, where we invite members of the community to learn more about our child and our beliefs. Open dialogue and interactions might help bridge the gap and dispel their fears."Gerald smiled warmly, impressed by my suggestion. "That's an excellent idea, Lizzy
The day Joan returned from her travels, she arrived at my doorstep in a state of panic. I was sitting at the balcony, receiving some fresh air when she practically ran into me. It was evident that something had shaken her to the core, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in her demeanor. I welcomed her inside, concern etched across my face."Lizzy, why don't you ever listen to me," Joan said, her voice trembling. "I told you to keep your pregnancy a secret until I arrived even from Gerald but what did you do? You went ahead not to tell only Gerald, but the whole effing clan!" She quiet screamed me while looking around frantically.I guided her to the living room, offering her a seat on the comfortable couch. Her behavior was making me panic too but I tried my best to act cool and collected "What's the matter, Joan?" I asked gently, trying to steady my own racing heart. "You seem distressed that I told the clan about my pregnancy. I didn't see any reason why it should be k
Gerald and I's bond continued to grow, and we couldn't keep our hands off each other. It was as if our love was blossoming along with all the flowers around us. So, when I started to feel sick every morning and nauseous every hour of the day, I didn't need a doctor or healer to tell me that I was pregnant. I was carrying a child inside of me and the first person I decided to tell was my sister. I called Joan and told her immediately and although I didn't like how she responded to my news and the reason why she told me that I must keep it an utmost secret until she returns from her travel. I didn't think it was necessary to do that but I told her I would just to avoid any other long talk. I also tried to keep it a secret but I could not keep hiding it from Gerald at least.I remember the day I decided to share the news with Gerald. I was nervous, wondering how he would react, but I knew deep down that he would be supportive. We had never discussed having children in all the years of ou
After the death of his parents, Alpha Gerald fell into a profound depression. It was a devastating blow for both him and me as I had to step in and cover for him in public appearances. I understood his pain, but as time went on, the pressure became too much for me to bear alone.The people, too, began to mutter. They questioned why Gerald had withdrawn from his duties, not realizing the weight of his grief. I knew that he still had responsibilities to fulfill, and although I empathized with him, I couldn't help but feel the mounting frustration within me. It seemed as though he didn't care about anything else anymore.One day, my frustration reached a breaking point. Joan was visiting and it didn't take her long to notice my distress. She came up to me at the kitchen counter and remarked, "Relax your shoulders Lizzy, it seems as though you've been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Is there something bothering you?"Unable to hold my emotions back any longer, I poure
As the sun shone down on the Mayflower clan, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of joy and contentment. Everything was going so well, and we all lived in peace. Gerald, my mate, was thriving as the new Alpha, and the people revered him for his leadership. As their Luna, I tried my best to make sure everyone was okay, constantly checking in on the pack members, and offering a helping hand wherever it was needed.However, our newfound harmony was short-lived when tragedy struck. It was not long after we restored total peace into the clan that we received the devastating news of Alpha Raymond's illness. As the news spread like wildfire throughout the Mayflower pack, a somber atmosphere settled over us all. Alpha Raymond had been a beloved leader, respected by all and even though his relationship with his son was strained, it was still obvious that Gerald loved his father very much.Gerald and I rushed to Alpha Raymond's side, hoping to offer comfort and support during his tim
