I hated going to Mysteria High school now and I resulted to taking a lot of excuses for my absence because I did not want to see Alpha Gerald's face as he always found a way to annoy the hell out of me and any time I tried to act on it and show him not to mess with me someone else who was not even involved in our silent war against each other not him or the beings that went everywhere with him got hurt in the process and honestly I was tired.
I could not even hide or escape him. It was as if he was tracking me down and knew exactly where I would be at a particular time thanks to his Alpha's ability to perceive my Lycan.
I did not even know how he got away with everything he did in Mysteria High School without being punished,suspended or even preferably expelled by Mr Anthony. Scratch that, I actually did and it was because he was the Alpha of the Mayflower coven, the heir to the throne of all the night walking creatures and I honestly did not give a flying fuck, all I wanted was for him to leave me alone and this mate bond to disappear cause it was annoying and it was giving me a headache.
Joan and I stepped into our biology class, took a seat at our usual back seat and waited for the teacher to come in.
"I honestly can not wait to go home" I tell Joan through telepathy just cause I did not feel like talking. Yes I was that exhausted. Because we had been having classes back-to-back since the day began
"oh honey, we would be done soon okay" Joan tells me while rubbing my hands and I visible relax. Joan's touch always had a way of calming me down. It was like a drug. She truly was my mother, my father, my sister, my brother and my best friend all in one and I loved her to pieces.
"I love you too darling" she said out loud with a huge grin on her face
"Stop reading my thoughts!" I frown at her jokingly but my frown becomes serious when the smell of vanilla and chocolate cream hit my nose and I look to the door to see Alpha Gerald standing at the door with his arm wrapped around someone's waist.He was talking to Luna Lillian of the Moon park
My Lycan leapt up as usual as she always did when he was nearby in an attempt to run to him, lick him and cuddle him but quickly realized what was going on and let out a whimper when Alpha Gerald planted a kiss on Luna Lillian's lips and a wave of pain go through my whole body at the sight of it. Joan noticed and turned towards the doorway to see what caused my sudden change in mood
"That bastard!" she exclaimed as she grabbed my hand in an attempt to soothe my pain and it got worse when Alpha Gerald looked towards me and gave me a slick smile
"He is doing this on purpose" I say as I was struggling to breathe properly because my Lycan was in so much pain seeing her mate with another Luna. I try to take my attention away from the cause of my pain by paying attention to the pattern Joan was drawing on my hands
"Try and breathe baby, okay?" Joan tells me softly
" I'm trying!" I half scream at her and it was not even in my intention to do that my Lycan was really just in her feelings and she was very hurt
" I'm sorry" I apologize to her
"It's fine baby, you don't need to worry I understand" she reassured me with a small smile
When I thought Alpha Gerald had got his fill of punishing me and my Lycan and was about to go, he leaned in and gave Luna Lillian another kiss on her lips while staring at me straight in the eyes. This time it was not just a peck but a full blown kiss with their tongue and everything and that almost killed me because my Lycan screamed in pain and anger and it took all the mind power I could muster to stop her from coming out and attacking the both of them.
Alpha Gerald had a satisfied smile on his face when he turned and walked away and I was left panting like an animal,
"Oh my goddess,that was quite the torture" I tried to make a joke out of the pain even as tears filled my eyes
"Oh baby, come here" Joan pulled me into a hug "I'm going to deal with that bastard" she growled "Who does he think he is? Doing all this to his mate?" Joan rhetorically asked in anger.
I cringed at her referring to me as his mate and then sigh after a minute because even though I hated that fact I was Alpha Gerald's mate with my whole being it was not like I could meet the moon goddess and ask her to change him from being my mate but what I could do was definitely torture him with the same techniques he was using on me.
"I am going to deal with him, give him a taste of his own medicine" I say as I wiped my tears.
After the class, I wanted nothing more than to go home but I had a revenge I needed to do.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Joan asked me. We were standing in the school's hallway and not far away was Alpha Gerald with his two beings beside him. Standing beside his locker was Beta Nelson who I had a crush on for the longest time until I realized he was just like Alpha Gerald, a womanizer. The plan was to kiss him like Alpha Gerald kissed Luna Lillian so as to get some kind of reaction from him,
"I'm sure I want to do it, the problem is, can I do it?" I tell Joan while fidgeting with my fingers. A sign of anxiety.
"Oh you can Lizzy, you're beautiful, what man wouldn't want to kiss you" she nudged my head
After thinking about it for another minute, I make up my mind
"Alright here I go" I start walking to where Beta Nelson was standing
"Hey" I tell him as I get to him
"Hey Lizzy" he looked surprised to see me there "Am I safe?" He joked looking around
"Yes you are silly, I just wanted to come say hi" I laugh and hold on to his arm just for show cause I could see from the corner of my eye that Alpha Gerald was looking at us
"Oh really? Hi there then " Beta Nelson smiled slyly
"And I really wanted to give you this" I said and came closer and kissed him. I didn't have to do a lot because he deepened the kiss himself and I just went with the flow. I heard a loud growl behind me that was definitely Alpha Gerald's and instead of stopping I wrapped my arms around him and deepened the kiss the more until I heard things breaking and stopped
"Nice talking to you again " I tell Beta Nelson with a smile and walk away not without turning around and giving Alpha Gerald a warm smile.
It was Saturday and that meant training day for me and I wondered what Joan had in mind for me to do this time around. She had been training me so I could harness my powers since I had problems and did not know how to make use of it like every other being. The last training we had was the first time I transformed into a Lycan because I could scent that my mate was nearby and now that I could turn I was really anticipating today's training and what Joan was going to make me do."What are you going to make me do today?" I asked her excited "Nothing you haven't done before" she shrugged her shoulders and tells me using her normal cryptic messaging.I hated when she did that because it always made me think and I still would not know what she meant by it. " Just tell me. I'm dying of excitement" I whine at her "You have a lot of better things to die from baby, excitement is quite boring if you ask me" I hated how she was being annoying but I still laughed at her joke "Well that's why
I opened my eyes slowly and look around me cause I had no idea where I was. I shake my head sideways in an attempt to shake off the disorienting state of my eyes and then it took me a moment to get myself together and realize where I was. I was still at the mountain. Sitting on the cold floor where Joan had left me to go find some stuff for us to feast on after successfully climbing to the top of the mountain. How I managed to sleep off, I had no idea, and it was already getting dark meaning I had been asleep for a long time. Why was I still on the mountain by this time? Why was I sleeping for a long time? Where was Joan? Did she leave me here? Was she alright? Did someone make me fall asleep? Because I couldn't wrap my head around how I fell asleep in this cold for hours. All these questions run through my head but I had no answer and the realization that something was not right jolted me up from the floor and I immediately started walking towards the direction of the abandoned hut
I wait till the early dawn of the next day really hoping that Joan would walk through the door and tell me that this was all a prank and I fell hard for it as she laughed in my face but I knew that it was not going to happen because I all my life Joan could never let me be alone for such a long time so why would she do so know especially not in the name of a stupid prank. I get up from my desk where I sat down all through the night waiting for her without getting a wink of sleep. I had a notebook where I wrote down everything that happened yesterday that I could remember and tried to piece it together to find out where she must have gone to but I was at a dead end. Something terrible had happened to Joan. I could feel it. I just did not know or have an idea on what my next step should be. I consider going back to the mountain but I was scared of going alone because of my fear of reptiles and the attacks Alpha Gerald mentioned yesterday and the only person my brain was telling me
We were at the abandoned hut and Alpha Gerald and one of his night creature were inside while I stood outside with the other one who kept looking at me in a super weird way and I was returning them of course because he wasn't the only one that could be weird. The trip up to the mountains didn't even take less than a minute, one minute we were at the foot of the mountain and the next thing we were on top of it.When we walked out the cafeteria, Alpha Gerald and I had escaped from school through a back door I had never seen before and waiting for us outside with two cars where his night creature companions. We took one of the cars and drove off with his companions following close behind us. We get to the mountain and get down from the car and I was thinking of the work I had to do to get up there when Alpha Gerald changed into his wolf form. He was beautiful. Gorgeous was the right word. His wolf was very white, like snow and it had a striking bright blue eyes. The wolf turned to me an
You cannot come with us, it might be dangerous" Alpha Gerald said without looking at me and that was because he knew pretty well that what he was saying was very stupid"What do you mean I'm not coming with you?" I look at him quizzically because he needed to give me a logical answer to that question We were back down on levelled ground and we were all standing against the two cars discussing our next line of action and how we were going to follow the scent of the wolf that abducted Joan and we were all doing that in peace and harmony as a group when Alpha Gerald opens his mouth and utters an abomination by telling me I could not come with them "I need you to be logical here Lizzy...." I didn't let him finish before I cut him short "Logical? if anyone is being illogical here it's obviously you" I poke at his chest for emphasis and my Lycan growls loud. Yes we were that angry. How could he suggest such a thing? I should relax when I have no idea where my sister was and if she was al
It was really dark and I couldn't see a thing. I was shaking with anxiety and I had a lot of things going through my mind that I wasn't paying attention to where I was putting my feet and I almost stumble upon something but before I could collide with the ground and made a hell load of noise that would attract our enemies attention for sure Alpha Gerald caught me in his arms and held on to me as I got my balance "Try to use you Lycan eyes Lizzy, you will see clearly " He whispered into my ears. He was standing so close to me I could feel the heat emanating from his body on mine. I was almost lost in the feeling and forgot what we had to do, even my Lycan growled in disagreement and I force myself to get my train of thought back together."I don't know how to do that" I tell him breathing heavily in response to his proximity to me."Close your eyes and call out to your Lycan and she would understand" he said as he puts his arm on my chest "And breath Lizzy, Breath"I close my eyes and
I wake up with a jolt from a scary dream I was having of a wolf kidnapping me, slitting my throat and then dumping me in a drainage. I almost fall off the chair as my jolt was full of fear and horror as I scream very loudly and Alpha Gerald who was sleeping beside me in the car jolted up in confusion as he looked around for the cause of my scream"What is the problem, Lizzy?" He touches my shoulder and I flinch away. He stares at me as I to put myself in a cacoon position"Are you okay, Lizzy?" He asked again after a while." I'm sorry I just had a bad dream" I stammer unable to handle the volts of terror passing through my blood."And what was the dream about?" he asked me curiously.I start crying at the thought of recounting the dream to someone and relieving the horrible moment. Alpha Gerald sits in silence, confused as to what to do and he stretches out his hands and puts my in them while giving it a soothing rub. I try to stop my tears and tell him what happened in the dream"It
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
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
