Cassandra couldn't stop wondering what made Miranda's mother so significant to her sister's mother as she drove to her house. Penelope mumbled something about her mother wanting her to double-check that the spell worked and Miranda's mother was revived.

"I apologize for bothering you, but could you please tell me a little bit about your family?" I mean, once your mother died, didn't you have relatives, cousins, or something? Don't get me wrong, but there's something I'm trying to figure out." Cassandra inquired of Miranda as they sat in her home, waiting for Penelope, who was on her way.

"I don't know much about my family; why do you bother asking?" Is there a problem?" She inquired, her brow furrowed.

"No...not really... It's simply that I'm inquisitive about your family; after all, you're interesting, and who wouldn't want to know more about you?" Miranda chuckled softly as she asked with a shrug.

"Well, this is new to me because not everyone inquires about my family; in fact, no one

    Life wasn’t as easy as Arya thought. It had been two weeks since she last saw or spoke to her husband, and she was getting more nervous by the day. She didn’t know what to expect, and neither did she talk to anyone about what was troubling her—not even her best friend Emily.“Mrs. Lance, do you need anything?” Beta Max asked as he walked into the office, and an exasperated sigh escaped her lips as she walked back to her seat. For over thirty minutes, she had been standing by the high office window overlooking the street through the large glass windows. She was lost in her world; she was troubled, and the feeling only intensified when she thought about her husband, Alpha Leo.The war, or whatever they called it, was supposed to take only four days or less, but two weeks had passed with no communication and no words from the warriors who accompanied Alpha Leo to the battlefield. No one cared, or maybe they just had so much faith in their Alpha and knew that he was going to come back even

    The following morning, Arya woke up earlier than usual. She was anxious; she had a feeling she was going to see Leo that day.“Good morning, Dad?” She said to her father, who was in the living room watching a morning show, that ever since Arya got married to Leo, her father had stopped working at the company, as Arya thought that her father needed rest and that age was catching up with him.“Good morning. You are up early. Are you going somewhere?” He asked, and she shrugged.“No, not really. I always wake up early these days; I am a Luna now, Dad, and I think I need to be a good example, despite just being anxious to see Leo after all that time. I mean, it has been long.” She said, and her father sighed.“Okay, I know you are in love, but trade cautiously, my love. I know something with your young generation is that you fall in love so hard, but I trust Leo; he seems to be in a good mood.” He said so, and Arya smiled as she walked to the kitchen.“I know you are worried about me, Dad,

    "I can't believe my son is no longer alive." Where is that person that murdered him? I simply cannot believe this." Isabella ranted that she was sobbing uncontrollably."I'm sorry, Luna Isabella, but more bad news is on the way." Isabella just shook her head; she couldn't believe Kai was dead; she was trying to process the news and the fact that she didn't even get to say goodbye to her son."What could be worse than the death of my son?" Are you crazy? "Do you think you're crazy?" She inquired, wiping the tears from her cheeks."I'm sorry, honey, but this has to do with the pack." I'll speak with him. "Come on, come on." As Fred brought the warrior outside, he said, "What became of my son?" He inquired as soon as they were clear of the crowd. The entire pack was in tears as they mourned the loss of their new alpha. Kai had only been an alpha for three years and expected to rule the pack for many more, but fate had other ideas for him."I'm sorry, Alpha Fred, but I just thought you sho

    ARYA WAYNEI just couldn’t believe what was going on; I mean, it has only been a few weeks since we got married, and things were just escalating. I didn’t even know if I could talk to anyone about it, and the pregnancy was already taking a toll on me.“How are you sure that Penelope is inside?” I asked my mother-in-law, and she sighed deeply before she spoke.“I don’t know, my dear, but we just have to try. I didn’t know this was going to happen; everything is inevitable. My son dying this early is something I never expected. Anyway, I know she is inside; we just have to find out if she is in or not." Sophia said, and I nodded then unfastened my seatbelt.“I think we should go in, but before we go in, there is something I would like to talk to you about,” I said, and she looked at me confused.“I hope nothing is wrong. What do you want to talk about?" She asked, and I sighed deeply. I wanted to talk to her about the pregnancy because I knew she deserved to know; she was the grandmother

    Miranda prepared to leave and join the others at the packhouse as dusk came. "I'm leaving right now, Mom." I'll see you when I return." She remarked this as she examined herself in the mirror."I'm not sure why you're even pampering yourself for this; it's just a sendoff, and you're already dressed up; what's the occasion?" Her mother inquired, and she smiled and brushed it aside.Oh, Mom; I didn't mean it like way; I mean, I'm a woman, and I need to get dressed; it doesn't matter what occasion I attend again; I'll see you when I get back; I love you." She stated that and kissed her cheeks before leaving the house and getting into her car.She drove to the packhouse and parked near the other cars; there was a crowd in front of the house, and she approached one of the persons standing on the other side and inquired, "What's going on?" She inquired, and the young lady shrugged. It was as though she had no idea what was going on.Miranda approached a group of men ahead of them and asked t

    Back at the Red Crescent pack, everything was going on as planned, Penny, Sophia and Arya quickly walked to the house, Arya offered to go check on Dylan and her husband Leo, they were together the last time before she left and when she was to the room, Dylan was kneeling by the bedside trying to talk to his friend, it was becoming difficult for him to breath and from the look of things, it was like Leo was dying.“What happened to him?” Arya asked as she rushed to them and Dylan moved to the other side of the bed, “I don’t know, we were just talking and then he said he wasn’t feeling well, I didn’t do anything to him.” Dylan said in defence but Arya was not even listening to him, “baby! Baby! Baby, please wake up, it is me, I am back and you can’t die on me, you promised to stay for our unborn child, I can’t do this without you,” she begged him amidst tears.“Wait, you are pregnant?” Dylan asked surprised and Arya ignored him, “it doesn’t matter right now, go out and call Pe

    Having a mental breakdown was something Leo never thought he would go through, he was in so much pain and everything was running crazy in his mind and he was just out of his mind, he was confused, sad, and alone, he felt like he was in his world sulking and wishing it just ended.The space around him felt void and the scorching sun wouldn’t let him be. He walked barefoot on the ground while he used his left hand to wipe off the reeking sweat on his forehead.“Damn man, how long until I get home, I am sick and tired of this scorching sun and the fucking hot sand!” He lamented as he continued walking, “I need some water, damn it!” he cursed and then decided to sit down, he scrapped the sand off his feet and sighed deeply.“Need some help?” A voice asked from behind and he turned, his heart lit up. He didn’t think there would be anyone in the desert with him.“Hey, what’s up? What are you doing here man?” He asked as he faced the strange-looking guy, it was someone he d

He went too soon when we had just started becoming great partners on a business project we were working on but his legacy shall always live amongst us, I owe him one and it is not only that but I wish one day when we meet, I would tell him how his life has inspired most of us, just like in the famous show I watched some years back, a great man once said, ‘Los modales hacen al hombre’ until we meet again." Ryder said and everyone clapped, he wanted to say something during the memorial service and Arya let him, the two had become great friends and had been working on a project together before he died. “My son was good, just like his father, he always knew what to do and always put his family first, to him family was all about those who

    When Arya got home that evening, she was busy with Rowena, she had started spending most of the time with her daughter ever since she lost her husband. “I didn’t think you would come so early today, how was work?” Sophia asked as soon as she walked into the house, she was carrying a bag in her other hand. “Yeah, I didn’t think I would come off early too but here I am, what have you got for us today, man I am starving and I didn’t want to bother the maids so?” she said as she walked up to her and took the bag from her. “I got your favourite, I figured out you don’t like cooking when you get back from work and all that, so I brought your favourite, how is she?” “She is okay, the flu is gone and I think she is okay, she is starting to get walk on her own and I can’t wait for her to grow up, she reminds me of Leo.” She said in a low tone and Sophia nodded, talking about her son was something she didn’t feel comfortable disusing especially after his death. “I know he is watching over h

    Death is not something you would wish for your worst enemy, it strikes and reaps off our loved ones, a permanent thing with no reversal. Arya was in mourning for over one week and when they lay her husband to rest, she knew she had to partake in the duty of becoming the Alpha and continue serving her people just like Leo had always done before. “Things are not easy as they were, people have lost faith and they are still mourning their dead Alpha, I think we should give them time to recuperate and you know get back on their feet.” Beta Max reported to Arya week after the burial session was over. “No, I am the one grieving but I am here, can’t you see that, Max?” She shot back and Max sighed, he didn’t know what to say next so he just let her continue talking. “I know we are all grieving but I am here working for you guys, working for this pack because that is how much I love you guys, I lost a husband, the love of my life, the father to my baby, and my best friend but I am here at wor

She was woken up a few minutes later by a groaning Leo, he seemed like he was in pain, she was suddenly alarmed and got up to check on him. “Babe, are you sure you are, okay? What is going on?” She asked worriedly and Leo just shook his head and moved to the other side of the bed, he was struggling to breathe and was constantly stopping to catch his breath. “I don’t think I have much time left, I am…I am dying my love…and…I don’t know what to say to you… right now but…it…is…time.” He said as struggled to breathe and Arya’s heart skipped a beat, they had just shared a great moment the previous night and didn’t think it was the last time they spent the night together and now he was try

So, I didn’t want to be an inconvenience to you in case my schedule doesn’t match out.” She said over the phone.“Oh yeah, you can come I am just around going through some files over here but I can create some time for you, where are you?”“On my way over to you now.” She responded.“Just come to

Katie met with Penelope during the same week, they had a lot to discuss concerning performing magic and other issues related to the coven.“You know when Miranda’s mom told me about the impossibility of bringing my mom back, I felt bad. I felt like maybe she just didn’t want to help perform the spell and all that, so, I decided to go behind her back and bring my mom back on my own and I almost fucked things up. My mom isn’t ready to come or she just doesn’t want to come.” Penelope said to Katie one evening as they were hanging out in a café just across the street.“I know how that feels and honestly if there was a way, I could bring back everyone I have lost in my life, I would have done so a long time ago but that is not how things work my dear.

    Katie ended up spending the whole evening at her daughter’s place, she even met Luna Sophia who was more than happy to see her, she recalled the conversation and smiled intently.“I have head cases where someone is thought to be dead but just jumped into another body, how does it feel having the mandate to choose when you want to die or not?” Sophia found it amusing spending time with her asked, it was like she had finally met her match and they vibed well.“It doesn’t work like that, there are rules governing us and we have to follow them, I was doing it for the coven, it is not like I chose to leave my family like that, I wanted to be there with them but I had to make a sacrifice and choose what was best for my family and my coven but things didn’t turn out the way I had hoped and that is why I stayed much longer than I had anticipated.” She replied and Sophie shook her head.“Wow and here I thought I was lucky to be born into an alpha family, to be honest, I have always wanted to b
