Cassandra got to see Miranda the next day, and even though Kai couldn't make it since he had a work meeting, the two had to work on something."Are you telling me you've been friends with Kai for how long?" Cassandra inquired as she brewed coffee for both of them."Yeah, we've been friends for as long as I can remember, but not close friends; he knows James and I'm just one of his.""Call the girls; I'm aware of the situation." Let me just say that I am well-versed in practically everything that is going on in this city. Remember that I'm a witch. I knew you were screwing him a long time ago, but I didn't realize it was you who required this kind of assistance." As she offered her a cup of coffee, she said."I know it sounds crazy, but I had to do what I had to do to survive." I am the last surviving member of my family, and I must do all I can to survive; you cannot blame me for the decisions I took. You understand how difficult it is for a black lady to survive in New Orleans." Cassa
Time was rushing rapidly, and Arya was becoming more frightened and anxious with each passing minute. She feared her husband, but she had to be strong; she had a responsibility to fulfill and a pack to run with the assistance of Beta Max, who had been instructed to assist her if she needed it."You are a strong woman, babe, and I know you are not going to sit around like a duck; there is a reason why I entrusted you with the company, and I believe you will do this right; don't worry about me; I have been to many wars; I know the drill; I know how this works; now I want you to promise me one thing, babe; I want you to take care of yourself and my mother; take care of the pack and your family,""I just know something will happen and you'll die, and maybe... I'm not sure... I'm sorry for my low opinion of you, but you know I can't just ignore that anything can happen to you, sweetie." She said she was terrified in a low, husky voice, and Leo could hear the fear in her voice.Please, babe,
It had been three days since both packs had gone to war; other packs were also involved, fighting for various reasons such as marking territory and stealing warriors.Miranda was meeting Cassandra for the second time; they needed to talk about something, and she was waiting for her in the famous witch restaurant.She suddenly remembered her talk with Kai a few days before he left."I know you're wondering why I'm attempting to assist you, but there are a few things I'd like to emphasize to you: I like you, which means I have feelings for you, and I'd like us to talk about this when I return," Kai remarked as they rested on the bed after a love-making session."I'm not sure, Kai; I'm not sure what you mean by having feelings for me." She was taken aback by his statement and inquired."I understand what you're thinking, and I apologize; I shouldn't have said that to you." I know, and I apologize; it just slipped out." He said so, but Miranda cut him off."I'm sorry, Kai, but I'll have to
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
ARYA WAYNE LANCE If someone told me once in my life that I was going to be the Luna of the Red Crescent pack, I would say a big no, my life wasn’t always flowers and roses even though my family was royal and my father was an Alpha, no one liked me and when I say no one, I mean everyone from school and my pack. That is not even the problem because I didn’t care about that, what worried me was the fact that my life came to a halt when I didn’t get the normal changes on my body like other wolves in my pack and when I turned nineteen, I thought things were going to work for me finally but that is not how things turned out for me. And when my family lost their pack and everything, I knew there was nothing else left for me, I felt like my life was already tangled and I just wanted to grow up and get a life of my own but when my mother was ‘killed’ I knew life was over for me, I had lost my brother already and losing my mom was a big blow to me, my father was there for me the whole time a
THE MEMORIAL AFTER PARTY The plan for Leo’s memorial went on well, Sophia was able to pull up the whole invitation list and a lot of people attended, he was perhaps loved by a lot of people.“Leo was my great friend and he was loved by many, I included. 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
The death of the alpha of the Red Crescent pack had spread fast across the basin, and many came in to console Arya who could barely hold herself together, she had cried the whole morning, and not even Emily was able to restore her faith that everything was going to be okay, her eyes were sore red and every time she looked at Leo’s body, the more tears streamed down her cheeks. “It is going to be okay; I don’t know how well I can put this, or how I can console you or make you feel better but I am going to be here for as long as you want, Leo is gone, I know it is the hard truth to say but that is the reality,” Emily said to her and Arya just nodded amidst tears, she was sobbing uncontrollably but Emily was there for her, calming her down.“You don’t understand Em, we just spoke this morning, had a long chat with him and he even asked to hold Rowena and you know…when he said he was dying…I thought he was overreacting and I assumed, I went to the bathroom and on coming back, he was gone…
The following morning Arya woke up earlier than usual, she breastfed Rowena at around five in the morning and went back to sleep, she was feeling tired and since Leo was still sleeping soundly next to her, she didn’t want to wake him up, she just pulled the duvet covers over them and went back to sleep. 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
Days after the deep discussion with her mother, Arya had a hard time thinking over what her mom had suggested, she didn’t know if it was the right thing to do. She contemplated talking to her husband Leo about it but every time she summoned enough courage to ask him about it, she backed out and decided not to.She was currently in her force going through the week’s schedule when she got a call from Miranda, the project they were working on was doing well.“Hey, I was passing by and I thought it would be best if we discussed something on what we are working on, I will be a bit busy next week. 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
It had been one week since Katie moved back to French Basin; she stayed in the hotel for a few days but Alfred suggested she moves in with them. 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. Your mom is a well-respected anc
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
