The wedding day finally arrived. Arya had been anticipating the day, and she was a bit anxious. It wasn't a big wedding, so she didn’t have much to do; she only got her mom’s dress for a fitting, and that was all she had to do.“I don’t know, but I still think this looks big on me,” Arya said as she admired herself in the mirror. She was with Emily, who was all along trying to console her and tell her that everything was fine.“You are just overreacting; this is not like a human wedding where we expect a lot of things, cars, and spend a lot of money; this is just a small ritual problem that is going to happen no matter how bad you think the dress looks; I don’t know how many times I have to tell you that you look good and the dress is fine; you are putting so much pressure on yourself.” She said so, and Arya smiled.“Okay, I get it. I know you are trying to make me believe that it is okay when you know it’s not, but I will take it since you are my friend. I can’t believe I am going to
The following day, Kai woke up earlier than usual. He was worried about his mother, and even though he was still mad at what she did to him, his instincts told him otherwise. His father would just call to play games with him, and he was a straight-up man who didn’t condone nonsense.“I got to go, Miranda; I have an emergency at home; it is about my mom; I think she is in trouble.” He said as he hurriedly took his jacket and his car keys.“What is wrong? I hope everything is okay. Is your mom okay?” Miranda asked a bit concernedly, but Kai brushed it off.“Yes, everything… Everything is fine... I don’t know, I talked to my dad last night, and he said something happened to my mom, but I scraped it off. I thought Mom was trying to play games with me, and I think something is wrong. I got to go home to my family and see how my mom is doing; that is all, but I will call you in case of anything.” He said that, and he walked up to her and kissed her on the cheeks before he walked to the door.
When Kai arrived at the tomb, he quickly ran through the gate. There, he could spot his parents right outside the tomb; they were with Cassandra and other witches that he couldn’t recognize.“Mom! Dad! What happened? What is wrong with Mom?” He asked with fear written all over his face. He was afraid of what would happen to his mother.“And there he is, did you finally think about your mom and you decided to show up and see if I was going to die or what?” His mom asked as soon as he got there where they were.“I am sorry, Mom, but I didn’t think Dad was telling the truth. I just thought it was one of the games you were trying to pull. I am sorry, Mom, but how are you feeling?”“I am okay if you ask; with poison running through my veins, hell yeah, I feel great. I feel good.” She said with a sarcastic tone, and Kai shrugged then walked to his father, who was talking to Cassandra on the other side of the tomb yard.“Hey Dad, how are you?” He asked; he was a bit skeptical about what he to
"And do you know what that stupid son of a b*tch attempted to do?" Cassandra inquired of her sister as soon as they met."What exactly did he do?" I hope you're referring to the same individual I know. "Who are they, and what have they done to you?" Penelope wondered as she munched on her burger and turned to gaze at her sister with a puzzled expression."All right, I'm talking about Kai. Yes, he is the alpha, but he is imposing it on me. I'm not sure what's going on with him. This time, he chose the wrong girl. I don't like playing with people. It will land him in hot water." Penelope smiled as she spoke."I have no idea what the hell is going on between you two, but the sooner you stop fighting, the better." "So, what happened?" Her sister shrugged when she asked."I believe I told you that Isabella is going through a lot; she was poisoned, and I was just letting you know?" She is fine for the time being because she is a helpful pack witch, but I am here to assist you. Her son believ
Cassandra entered her home, shut the door, and went directly to bed. She needed to get some rest before speaking with her sister. She felt like she was missing something as sleep came in, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. She had just seen her sister. They always communicated by mental ties, dreams, and visions."Sister, what are you doing here?" She asked, a little perplexed, to see her in her home."Don't act like we don't sometimes visit each other in our dreams; anyway, I'm here to talk to you about something really important, but first, did it work with your Luna?" She inquired as she opened the fridge and took out a can of yogurt. "I hope everything went well for you because we have a bigger task ahead of us." As she slurped her drink, she said."Okay… I don't get it, and yeah, I believe it worked; if it hadn't, my family would be on my back right now. What exactly is it? And don't tell me the world is coming to an end because I'm not prepared to die." She remarked this as s
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
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
