CARNELIAN'S POV The voices getting in my head is getting more louder and louder. I guess I will go crazy anytime from now. Whatever this people are saying is just making my head siren becoming more louder . I can feel the nerves of my body being on edge, I'm on the verge of going crazy. " Can you just shut up", I shouted and everybody keep quiet, everywhere was so quiet that even a drop of pin can be heard I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply while rubbing my temple. I can hear Taylor speaking to the people and when I opened my eyes, they all are exiting the room "Yo, buddy. You really have to take it easy. You do remember that these people are here to help", Taylor said " I know. But I'm on edge right now. Everything they are saying is just noise. They haven't found a solution. Am I wrong?", I asked and Taylor sighed " Look,I know they are trying. We all are trying,but we ain't getting closer to her. Taylor, we've searched almost all the packs both in the southern and e
LUCIANA'S POV It is the beginning of another school day. Today is always known to be a very stressful day at school. The lecturer tends to be more work alcoholic on Monday. Why am I in school? I don't know,maybe I just needed a little time and space to myself. And I thought that the school was the most appropriate place to be just to take the burden of my shoulder, at least for a good seven hours It has been three weeks ago since I last attended this school. I guess people will start noticing why Adriena,Carnelian, and I were absent. Now, going to school alone without the other two will definitely stir up something and questions. I walked quietly to my seat, and I said down quietly, waiting for the teacher to come and save me from all these faces I guess the Moon goddess answered my internal prayer, and not quite long,the first teacher of the day entered the class. If the Moon goddess can actually give answers to a prayer faster like this,then why hasn't she answered my p
ADRIENA'S POV The past two weeks have been good if not great. I'm now staying at this beautiful house, and I've never set my foot outside. Not that I don't want to, but I just couldn't bring myself to it, knowing that I will put Stella in trouble I can feel my strength energizing, but not to it fullest. I guess whatever injection they gave me is now beginning to fade off. Maybe it was Stella that decided not to inject me again. Who knows Knowing about how she got banished for what she loves doing the most. I can guess that whenever she is treating a patient,it usually takes a tour on her. The past two weeks, Stella and I have bonded We cooked together, played,gist,do the cleaning and all other stuff that are done inside the house together. She always takes care of the flowers inside the garden herself while I do another thing inside Spending a month and a week here at my captor house is something I've never dreamed of. I know Carnelian is trying his best. I know he will
ADRIENA'S POV Two different discoveries at a time. The first one is so shocking, and I really hope it is not true. The second one is quite good and I'm really excited about it. Nevertheless,the two news are taking a toll on me, and I need to sit Moving to the couch to have a seat, Stella followed me, and she also sat down beside me " Are you okay?"she said, and for real, I'm tired of being asked that question " Can you just stop asking me if I'm okay? Obviously, "I said " Chill. I know that you are now in the process of becoming the great Alpha Adriena back. But we need to analyze this, "she said, and I exhaled deeply " And when I mean 'this', I mean the ' these,' " she said, and I rested my head on the couch " Okay then," " Yep. Let's start with this new one. You've gotten your power back,this is good news. The injection given to you has waded off completely, but you are still in the process of completing the recovery procedure. This gives you a great chance of
ADRIENA'S POV " No,it can't be positive. I can't be pregnant. No,no,no,no, I'm not pregnant, "I said while crying Stella came to meet me where I was, and she consoled me.She didn't say anything as she was just rubbing her hands on my back, soothing me in her own way " I never wish to raise my child while I'm still held as an hostage, Stella. I've always imagined being pregnant with my mate beside me, comforting me and doing all the husbandy things during my pregnancy period. Not here,not when I'm still in captive and not knowing when I'm going to be released, "I said after some moments " I know. None of us ever wish to be held captive and talk less of discovering pregnancy while still being held as captive. I completely understand you, Adriena, "she said " No,you don't understand. My mate should be here with me or, rather still, I should be with my mate over here. We were supposed to be together, and he should be the first to know about my pregnancy. But now,he did not even
ADRIENA'S POV Stella laughing at my question is kind of embarrassing.What is funny about my question? " Sorry,did I say something funny?" " Hmmm,hmmm, no,no,not at all," she said " Then, why the laughter?" " Sorry,but what is the reason for that question?" " Nothing. It is just that I noticed that you and Andor are way closer than his relationship with others, "I said " Oh,it is that obvious," " To me,yes, it is obvious or should I say it is obvious to me because I noticed things easily." I shrugged my shoulder " Well,this might come as a shocking news to you. Hmmmmm, "she said and stopped for a while and cleared her throat " Andor and I are destined, mate," she threw the bomb " Pardon," I asked, dumbfounded " I know,I know,it is shocking, and you might not what to believe me. But how did I get to know about Elijah story and all the story I've been telling you since you got here? "she said " But I thought he had a Luna during his regime. Wasn't she his m
THIRD PERSON POV " What causes the noise?"Andor asked immediately he saw the ladies laughing " I thought you weren't coming home today," Stella said "Did I ever tell you that? And when do you start monitoring my schedule. Is that the answer to what I asked? I said, "What causes the noise?""he said a little bit more stern " Adriena and I were just laughing. That's all, "she said " Now she gets to laugh. Don't forget that she is still an hostage and hostages are not supposed to be all fine and good. Do you understand me?"he said " Yes," Stella replied " I don't even understand why and where she gets too much strength to laugh. Are you sure you are injecting the drug to her?" " Yes,I am," " Let's me remind you,I don't want her hale and healthy. All I need is for her to be alive, nothing much, nothing less. Do you understand me?"he said again " Yes. What do you wish to have as dinner?"Stella asked "Why do you have to be so humble? You know you don't need to be re

" What is that?"I asked as I moved to one of the empty seats and sat down " A letter" " From who" " Alpha Andor" " What does he want again? Hasn't he had enough?" " What does he want this time around? Taylor asked " Well,it seems he is hell bent on taking this pack," Alpha Blake said " And I've told you that won't happen," Alpha Jasper said " You do remember that my daughter life is at stake here. Do you?," Alpha Blake said once again " We all know that Adriena is out there with him, and nobody knows what he is doing or is going to do with her. But we all are trying to find a way to get her out of this," I said,trying to calm the two elder Alpha down " Well, according to this letter, we've already known what will become of her if he did not get what he wanted within the ultimatum

But we need to give respect to whom respect due," Adriena said " Mother," Eva greeted Adriena, and Adriena smiled as she gave her a hug " How are you coping with him?" Adriena asked, and Eva smiled as she looked at Raymond eyes " Everything has been good since you've left the pack," she replied to her " We've never left the pack. We are still under the pack," Adriena said, and Eva laughed " Yes, of course. You are still under the pack," Eva said " It's been a long time," Adriena said as she beamed with a smile " Yeah, it is two years?"

Both him and Eva sat down at the same second, and after that, the Alphas in the room sit " Dawn Pack," Raymond called out,his voice reverberating across the room, and the Alpha of the Dawn Pack cowered in fear " Yes, your majesty," he answered Raymond and stood up Raymond expected him to say something more than the reply he gave him.

She lay on the bed and closed her eyes,meditating,thinking about nothing Mira noticed Eva silent attitude " Don't tell me you are deciding on going back into the shell?" Mira, Eva wolf asked " What do you think I should do?" Eva said back to her wolf " Well, I don't know. But we did a lot together, before you can be this outspoken. You will soon become a Luna, and you need this outspoken character," Mira said " He shouted at me," Eva said " He was angry," Mira counterattacked " This was the first time," Eva said " True Alpha tends to behave outragely wil

I raged, and Eva has been trying all her best to calm me down,but it was not successful " I wrote to them peacefully, and they all declined my offer," I said, but she did not answer me this time around as she had been doing, and then I calmed down I breathed in and out and took a seat beside her " They declined my offer. All of them declined my offer. Even Alpha Jason pack," I said "They said that they don't need an alpha apart from theirs," I said " Are you sure that the people are the ones that said it?" Eva asked when I was about to lament again " What do you mean?" I asked " You said they said. Who are the real ones that said what you said they said?"she said using the simple English she could use " They wrote back the letters," I replied " Who are the ones taht wrote the letters?she asked " The Alphas, of course," I said " And does Alphas tell the people of the pack what any letters entiles," sh

He ordered the person to open the door " Come in," he said, and a pair entered the room bowing her head slightly, and she spoke without raising her head up " Alpha Carnelian ordered me to call you and ma'am," she said,using the word "ma" am as she did not know what adjective she could use to describe Eva " Do you perhaps know by chance what we are being called for?" Eva asked " No ma'am. But I was told to tell you to prepare for shifting," she replied to her without raising her head either " Okay. You can go," Raymond ordered, and the maid exited the room " Shifting?" Eva asked Raymond " That is what she said," Raymond said " Either the shifting is for leisure or not, I think it has been a long time since we've shifted," Raymond said, his wolf getting happy for wanting to take control and it all indicate on his face " You are that happy to be changed," Eva said " Yes, of cour
RAYMOND'S POV Writing and sending letters to the neighbouring packs and the one beyond,who have not heard about the True Alpha,telling them about it " You shouldn't make it compulsory for the packs far away. Just tell them that we now have a True Alpha, and if they wish to succumb to his authority, they are free unless they have a True Alpha at their region," Alpha Carnelian said " That's right. The packs that you want to rule don't have a True Alpha,so it is easy that way. But those far away packs can have a True Alpha that we haven't heard of," Uncle Taylor,father Beta, said " Okay," I said and continued writing the one I was writing initially before I got interrupted " I think that's all," I said while checking if there was a pack I had not written to, and when there was no,I stood up " Good," I said " When did you plan on going?" I asked my father "A week from now," he said " Good. We should prepare everything before that time, " I said but got no respons

Since the day Eva has wanted to eat without my parents,and they both refused, we have always eaten together as one big family " Permanent break?" Alpha Carnelian asked, and everybody in the room except Eva looked at him, and then they placed their gazes on me " Yes," I replied, and he seemed not to understand what I was talking about " You proposed the idea of me ruling," I said " Yeah," he said "Isn't it because you want to spend time, mother, without having to deal with pack issue?" I gave out my reason for saying the first sentence " Ohhhh," "Raymond," both my mother and father said at the same time, and I gave them the ' what' look " I get it," I said and continued eating my food " So,have you thought about it?"My dad asked, and i dropped my spoon, which I was intending to
RAYMOND'S POV I shouted at her for the first time ever, I could have done better. I could have made a joke out of it,but I chose to shout, and now she is afraid I might hurt her She didn't tell me that she is, nor did it show in her facial expression that she is. But I know that, deep down in her,she is afraid I might hurt her " Eva," I called her slowly, and she widened her eye orbit, indicating that she was listening, but I needed her to answer me not just with facial expressions but with her words " Eva?" I called again, really hoping that she would give me a yes as an answer and not just a sign, but she didn't, and it baffles me " Eva?" I called her again " Yes," she said and I don't know if the joy and happiness in me was gone initially, but I knew that my heart which I didn't realise was beating a moment ago, start to pump again and joy and happiness were being embedded in it " I shouldn't have shouted," I said without wasting no time " You didn't," she sa
