Karen opened her eyes as a familiar scent hit her nose, she could tell that she was in Lewis's room, she had become familiar with it, on opening her eyes she could still feel her headache, like she was having a type of hangover. But it wasn't as serious, she's slowly turned, looking around the room to see if Lewis or Xavier was present but they were not. Karen pulled the sheets from over herself as she wondered why she was in Lewis's room, the last thing she could remember was using the bathroom at school while she was trying to recall the memories of what happened, she was lost in thoughts when Lewis walked in and it wasn't just Karen imagination but she could see that he was startled on seeing her."Hey you're up" he said as he walked toward her gradually, he couldn't run towards because that would make her a bit suspicious. "Sorry if I startled you, I don't understand why I'm here. Don't get me wrong..... I am just surprised the last thing I remember was going to school and I don
Very early the next day was Saturday and Xavier was grateful it was,it was one of the days he actually got to sleep in. Xavier laid down on his bed with no intentions of getting up early as he was trying to get some sleep his phone began to ring, he ignored the first ring as he pulled the sheets over his head as he was ready to cancel his saturday beauty sleep. Although it was already 7 in the morning. The phone began to ring again the second time, " who could this be bugging me and this time, don't they sleep?" He turned to his side as he stretched his hands in order to find his phone with his eyes closed, head hoping to answer the call and fall right back at sleep. The sound coming from his phone irritated his as he couldn't find it with his eye closed, he finally decided to open his eyes, immediately he grabbed his phone, the call was from an unknown number. He had second thoughts on whether or not he should pick up the call but what was the use of ignoring, he was already up. " H
Oyin sat on her bed with her eyes on the ceiling, she kept wondering why on earth her best friend was acting strange. She knew everything about Karen and she was really acting off. She turned to the side of the bed and could see the picture frame that was hanging by the side of her table, it was a picture of herself and Karen. “Oyin? Sweetie” her mom called out. Oyin stared at the door for a while before shifting her eyes back to the picture. “What do you need Mom?” she replied without moving from the position she laid. “Hun, I just wanted to ask if Karen was coming for dinner?” she voiced, Oyin stood up to her feet before approaching the door, she opened it standing in front of her mom. “No, she’s not coming” she replied “Hun are you okay?” her mother asked as she saw the depressed look on her face. “I’m perfectly fine mom, just been stressed out because of school, the semester has been a struggle” she pointed out. Oyin was finding it hard to manage both her school work and her

He asked politely " No thank you, I'm waiting for someone, when he gets here I'll definitely place an order" she said with a smile on her face.The waiter retraced his steps as he turned to another table, after a few minutes of waiting she was getting a bit impatient, it wasn't like her boyfriend, he wasn't someone who came late but today was something different, he was right on time and even if he wasn't going to show up he would had called her in order to inform her of his absence.

I'm sorry" she apologized and she turned her eyes finally to meet an empty mall. She had not even notice right from outside that the mall was empty because of her anxiety. She immediately turned around the same was at the back.For the first time since her return, she walked into a mall and it was totally empty, no customers just shop keeper minding their shop." Where is everyone?" she subconsciously asked to Luna Lucretia hearing, Karen was use to the emptiness of the mall but since her return she has always seen crowds everywhere, that were either paying for
FLASHBACKThe sky was getting dark as the sun retired by setting.Chel had been in the library all morning, glancing and reading through different spell books just to find the right one she was going to use." Mark where on earth is your sister?" Their mother asked as she couldn't find her daughter anywhere." How am I suppose to know, she should be in the library or outside and honestly I don't care where she is" Mark said as he was tired of his sister's behavior, she was always missing and it only ended up in her causing trouble." Don't say that, she your sister you should love her" their mother said before placing a peck on his forehead." Mother have you seen her? She I......"" Mama..... Mama..... Guess what?" Chel called out as she ran in with a book in her hand." Here we go again" Mark voiced as he rolled his eyes not expecting anything good to come out of this conversation."Where have you been all day?" Their mother inquired as she stared at her happy daughter.'' I have bee
" Lucretia!" Ernaline called out causing Luna Lucretia to turn at the mention of her name, she could see Ernaline, a young beautiful woman standing just beside her.She took her to be one of the storekeepers but then why would she mention her name in such a manner."Do I know you?" she asked with a friendly smile, although she felt the situation to her was awkward, she couldn't make out if Ernaline was an Omega or a beta as she tried to smell her from the distance they stood but she could tell what she smelt was a different fragrance, it was something she wasn't used to. Of course Ernaline wasn't from this world." Nope you have no idea who I am but trust me I know you, I know you much more than you know yourself" she said with as the corner of her lips curled into a smirk."What do you mean by that?" Lucretia asked as she stood up not taking Ernaline words as a jokes."Well let's just say I had an encounter with you a few decades back, it's good to see you're all grown up now. Is that
“Karen!" the sound of Lewis's voice echoed throughout the forest, He was sure that this was Karen. The figures sighed before turning around, Lewis couldn't believe his eyes, he stood still. Frozen, shivers running down his spine, “Karen!” whispered with tears falling from his eyes, his angel the woman he dedicated his life to and the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, the same woman who wants die and disappear in his arms. She was standing right in front of him, looking beautiful and radiant as ever.Great Lewis, go ahead and start hallucinating, it's so early in the morning and you didn't even have anything to drink” he said to himself as he placed his hands on his waist still staring at Karen figure took a deep breath before closing his eyes.“It will all go away and fade” he voiced before reopening them but the figure did not go away neither did he stop seeing her. “You are silly as the day we met” Karen spoke with a smile.“It's me, I am real, you're not jus
Lewis arrived at the wedding venue an hour later, dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and a silver tie. He felt nervous as he entered the hall where the ceremony was taking place He greeted them politely as he made his way to the front row where the groomsmen were seated. He found a seat beside Xavier who hugged him as soon as he sat down. “Hey man, good to see you. You look as good as you can manage” Lewis rolled his eyes but chuckled at his best friend’s mild insult “I still look better than you though” “I though you weren’t going to make it. You were almost late” Lewis smiled sheepishly and said apologetically. “Yeah…sorry about that. I was having second thoughts.” Xavier shook his head and said understandingly. “It’s okay, Lewis. I get it. It’s hard for you to be here.” Lewis nodded and said sadly. “Yeah…it is.” Xavier put his arm around Lewis’s shoulder and said reassuringly. “But I’m glad you’re here, Lew. It means a lot to me. And to Allen too.” Lewis looked at X
Lewis walked slowly with hesitant footsteps towards the little plot of land where Karen’s body disappeared, He came here every day as much as he could to spend time with her because he didn’t want her to be lonely. He felt his heart constrict in pain at the sight of the familiar headstone. He could never get used to it no matter how much he came here. To him, it shouldn’t even exist and Karen should be by his side. He knelt down beside the grave and placed the bouquet of purple lilies in his hand. They reminded him of her so he bought some on the way here. A stray tear dropped on one of the flowers and he reached up to clean it. “Hey, Karen. It’s me, again” He said with a painful chuckle “I miss you so much, baby. You have no idea how hard it is to live without you. I still can’t believe you are gone but this, right here.” He said gesturing to her tomb “is the harshest reminder that you aren’t here if the fact that I don’t see your face when I wake up in the morning isn’t. It’s been
Karen’s family couldn’t believe she was gone, their sister was no more, Sylvester’s heart scattered into a million piece. Kelsy had given Lewis the letters she had written before she died. The letters that Karen had left for her loved ones were filled with love and emotion. To her brother, Sylvester and Tyler, she wrote about how much she loved them and how proud she was of the men they had become. She was grateful to have them in her life. To her best friend, Oyin, she wrote about their friendship and how much it had meant to her. She forgave her understanding that she had no choice and was driven by her love for Allen. To her father, she wrote about how much she had always looked up to him and how much she would miss him. And to Xavier, she wrote about her hope for his future and how she knew he would make a great Alpha. Lewis was the most hurt and broken hearted. When the letters were delivered, each recipient was deeply moved by their contents. Tyler, in particular, was str
The police arrived and Lucretia was scared, she thought that Jayson did a clean job. She was also surprised to see Xavier alive and well. "You're under arrest for attempted murder", the policemen said. "I'm innocent", she screamed. "What's going on here?", Alpha Benson asked The police men explained everything to him and he was in shock. "Lucretia you did what?" "Benson don't listen to them, I didn't do anything" she voiced struggling with the police. "You did a lot, remember killing my mother and her family, you also tried to kill me so, he would know that I am his biological son, the child of Chel, whom you murdered” Xavier said. Alpha Benson was shocked. Both news felt like a hard blow. What did he just hear? "Is that true Lucretia?", he asked. Not understanding a word. "No, it's not true" she voiced denying it all. " Really?" Xavier said pulling out his phone and playing the recording of her confessing to him. Alpha Benson face turned sour as well as the Luna. "I am
Karen sat thinking about everything the goddess has showed her. She wanted to make the right decision to make peace between each clan. She didn't want anyone to sacrifice their life even again. She took a deep breath grab a pen and paper and wrote some words on it. With expression on her face and tears that ran down her cheeks Kelsey could tell that Karen was willing to give her life up to save both clans from this ongoing curse she immediately picked up her phone putting a call through to Lewis. He was busy with the court meetings but Lewis secretary passed on to him phone after it kept ringing. On hearing the words that Kelsy said he stood up immediately raced into the car. He tried his best to get there as fast as he could. His eyes run through the clock and it was just 15 minutes more before they hand struck 12. Lewis hurried to the ritual site, his heart racing. He couldn't believe what he had just heard from Kelsy. Karen was about to do something reckless and dangerous, a
"Let's make things right." Xavier smiled, and for the first time in a long time, he felt a flicker of hope. Jayson was so angry and grabbed a gun from the table, "Do you both think this is all a game?" He asked. " Jayson listen to me you need to drop the gun someone is going to get really hurt if you don't drop it" Tyler voiced slowly pulling Xavier behind himself. "You think this is a game, what makes you understand him and not me?" He spoke still with the gun facing them. "Jayson calm down" "No, we used to be fine, it was just us what happened Tyler. What?" Tyler took a breath trying to gain control of the situation at hand. "Listen to me, I still love you. I do but you doing this is only going to hurt me" he added trying to talk him out of it. " Don't you think, I'm dumb? I know you don't love me anymore but I'm not going to let anyone get you either" he voiced pulling the trigger. "Get out of the way", Sylvester screamed while grabbing the supposed target, Xavier pulled T
After reading the message Tyler rushed into Sylvester's room telling him about everything that was going on. Sylvester took a good look at the video and with a very clear observation he noticed 'dark coal' written on one of the bags on the floor. That must be where they are, it was a building construction site but after some years the company was facing some financial issues and had to close up. Tyler immediately grabbed his car keys, there was no way he was going to let Xavier go even though it meant him signing a dumb illegal contract. They drove in great speed and packed in a distance. They both came down, they have no idea about what the inside looked like and how many men there were. As Sylvester snuck into the building, he tried to be as quiet as possible. He could hear the sound of Jayson's voice echoing down the hall, and he followed the sound to a large room. He peered around the corner, and he saw Jayson standing in front of a large machine, while a bound and helpless
Karen woke up due to the light that shone into the room, it was already morning, she turned to her side and her eyes fell on Lewis, his face reminded her of the previous night. She blushed, she couldn't believe it, she was his and he was hers. She slowly stood from the bed making sure not to wake Lewis, she placed a peck on his cheeks before going to use the bathroom. Karen had her bath and got changed, Lewis was still in bed, Karen decided to let him sleep. She wondered around Lewis's mansion. There were rooms everywhere. She walked along the corridor still with a sweet smile on her face. She suddenly stopped when she heard a loud crashing sound, like someone just fell to the ground and dropped some items, she immediately followed the sound into a room. It was a library. It was filled with rolls and rolls of books, she immediately caught a glimpse of the lady on the floor, she rushed towards her, picking her up. "Are you okay?" She asked, helping her to her feet. "Yes, I just
