“I understand that you just got back and all that but I have something important that I thought maybe the two of us could discuss and come to terms with;
you know like a business partnership or something of the sort, that is if you are willing to agree with me.” Leo said to Ryder who was now swinging on the office chair like the CEO he was.As soon as he was done with the meeting at the packhouse, he was interested in seeing how the company was doing and picking up from where Fred left off.Alpha Ryder, there is someone here to see you, he doesn’t have an appointment to see you though should I let him come in or should I send him away?” Beta Brian asked.“Oh no, let him in, I am not doing much right now, just let him in and ooh Brian, please ask the secretary to prepare some coffee for me, I need it right now than ever and let him in,” Ryder said to him, he didn’t even look up from his computer and Brian was already getting used to it.A few minutes later, Leo wDURING THE PARTY“Everything is fine mom, I don’t know why you are so adamant about this, I mean I already worked it out with him and he wants nothing but to find his mate and I am helping him do exactly that, why do you have so little faith in me? Your son's mom. You don’t trust me, do you?” Leo questioned his mom, they were standing on the balcony overlooking the guests and everything going on in their compound, and his mom was not with the idea of them allowing a party at their home.“Of course; I do trust you. I just don’t trust that Ryder guy, he sounds fishy and all that, I hope you don’t have so much trust in him, because I know he is drawing you close so he can get whatever he is up to and I can tell you for free, he is up to no good at all.” Sophia said after a long thought.“Mom, your problem is that you always overthink, I know you got trust issues and all that but Ryder is to be trusted, he is not that bad and even though I haven’t interacted that much w
ALPHA RYDER “Mate!” my wolf growled the moment I set my eyes on her, she was beautiful no lie and I had no idea why my wolf growled but I never pictured her for my mate, it was not what I expected, she was not just my type but she was beautiful but not fierce and strong like I had anticipated.“Hi there, I wanted to come and say hi to you,” I said measuring his words and Miranda smiled, a broad smile that revealed her white milk teeth.“Hi, you were eyeing me the whole time and I thought whatever you want to tell me must be important, it is nice to meet you, Alpha Ryder, I am Miranda by the way from Moonlight Pack, I know you don’t possibly know everyone there but I come from your pack.” She said with yet another smile and I couldn’t help it, her lovely smile got me moving.“I am Ryder and I know you already know me so; I don’t think there is any point for me to introduce myself, Miranda; what a beautiful name for a beautiful girl like you,” I said trying to strike
Rumors had been going around and soon the whole town knew about Miranda and Alpha Ryder, most of the girls were not happy about the news, you would find them talking among themselves like they were looking forward to enjoying some time with him.“She is a witch for heaven’s sake, why would she even be his mate and the way I was prepared to seduce him, I can’t even believe this is happening.” One girl was heard lamenting.“You and I both, I wasn’t prepared mentally for this but who I’m I to say no, I mean this has already happened and like the way things are, he is not going to bend, that guy doesn’t even spare some time to look at other girls, I even thought he was gay when he first took after Alpha Fred and this confirms everything and that witch wasn’t even interested in the whole relationship.” The other chirped in.“I don’t why you guys are hating on that innocent girl, I know she is a witch and that doesn’t mean we diminish her, she is just a victim in this whole si
ALPHA LEOEver since I came back from the dead, life wasn't always the same. I knew the repercussions of what my Luna Arya did while trying to save me which I am thankful for but it came with a price, I didn't have much time to live and I wanted to make things right for her and our daughter before I died. I hadn't told her yet because I didn't want her to keep worrying about me. She was soon giving birth to our firstborn daughter, and I had to be there both emotionally and physically.I was driving home from work, and for a few weeks that followed, I had to take over the company again since my wife Arya was heavily pregnant and she could not afford to work daily, I wasn't complaining but it was hard syncing and operating two jobs at ago; men don't complain about small issues so I just acted like everything was okay.I was listening to my favourite playlist, I loved rock songs, and that was just it. It reminded me of my father. Just then, a call came through. It was from
After the fruitful night at the hospital, word had gone around back at the pack about their Luna, and the Alpha family had welcomed a new member in their family."I can't believe Alpha Leo just had his first child, I mean, it was just the other day when we were in senior high school together." One said as they walked to the club, everyone was speaking among themselves."The Luna, I have met her in person, and she is a good lady, very accommodating and sweet. She deserves everything good happening to her. She deserves happiness." Her friend added as they walked into the club abs vanished into the thick crowdFor Leo, things were not good as he had anticipated, after the whole resurrection spell that they did on him, things went from worse to worst, after a week of healing up, the wound opened up again and this time round it was not for best, his pain was moving all over his body, not only did the silver knife ruin and disentangle his life but also made it hard for the do
Leo ended up spending the night at the hospital with his wife Arya. He was watching over Rowena the whole night, he kept staring at her like she was a precious gift from heaven."Mommy is going to be happy when she sees you awake but for now, you are here with daddy and daddy wants to teach you something, it is good that you are the earlier than we expected, I just want to tell you something, you see daddy is sick but still doesn't know what is going on with him but he is just glad that you are here and you are my little princess, I know mommy will take care of you in my absence." He said as he rocked her to sleep."Who are you talking to?" Arya who was asleep the whole night asked as she moved to sit comfortably on the bed, her wound had healed up but she still felt a little pain down her abdomen, just enough for her to move around."I was talking to Rowena, she doesn't even know what I am saying but the way she was looking at me, so innocently; you would think she unde
Life as a first-time mom was proving to be hard, but Luna Arya was doing her best to cope and blend in. The maids were doing everything for her. She only had to breastfeed the baby who was growing up faster and blending well with the family."Your mom would be so proud of you, I am proud too. I just can't believe that I am alive to witness all these. I am just happy. That is all I can say." Alfred said to Arya, who was just done rocking the baby to sleep and was focused on the paperwork sitting on the table."Let's all agree on something, dad, this came earlier than I had anticipated, I am just twenty, a Luna, a mother, a business to run and to perform my duties as a Luna, it is not that easy. How did mom operate, I mean, how did she manage to do all these?" She asked for the umpteenth time."You have been questioning me about this since morning but I must tell you something though, you are your mom's daughter but you can't be similar, I know you always look up to her but she wasn't a
Miranda woke up the following morning feeling tired but she was in a good mood. She turned to face the other side but Ryder was not in bed with her, the events of the previous night came running into her mind and she smiled at the thought of it. She walked to the mirror to check herself out, and moved the hair that was falling on her face, the mark on her neck was still there and that is when it dawned on her; she was now a Luna and there was no turning back.“You are looking for something?” Alpha Ryder asked as he walked fresh from the bathroom, he had a towel hanging across his waist, it was the first time she was concentrating on his abs and damn! He looked cute. “See who finally decided to show up, I thought you were one of those guys that sleep with you at night and leave you the following morning, I am glad you decided to stick around.” She said and walked up to him, placed her hands on his abs and traced them with her fingers, “looks like someone has been hitting the gym,
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
