ALPHA KAI“What are you up to, son?” My father asked the following morning as I walked past him to the dining table.“I don’t know what you are talking about, Dad, and why are you always on my case?”“Because I know you are probably up to something, you come home late, and I talked to Beta Brian, you leave work so early and come home so late, what are you up to?”Nothing, and I don’t understand why you would assign someone to stalk me; you don’t trust me." I asked, pissed, but my father scoffed instead.“I am sorry, but I don’t trust you, especially when your mother is your chief advisor. Your two heads combined will automatically bring problems to this family. I entrusted you with the family businesses and the pack, and I knew you were capable and ready to take care of this pack, but with how things are going of late, I don’t think you are fit for this position.” He said, and I scoffed.“I knew you would come to this; you don’t even trust your son?”“You can’t blame me, Kai. With what
3RD PERSON’S POV The fight between the two alphas was so intense that they spent almost twenty minutes tearing each other down. They shapeshifted and even turned into their wolf forms, but nothing could stop the two from fighting; they manifested themselves in such an aggressive manner, tearing each other down every chance they got.“You are the one who is making her life a living hell by kidnapping her. How could you do that to her? You should have marked her and left her to be your Luna, but you don’t go around kidnapping her to prove a point to me. You are an uncouth, self-centered bastard that doesn’t care about anyone but himself. That is so pathetic! You are pathetic, you little piece of sh*t!” Alpha Leo shouted as he pounced on Alpha Kai and threw punches at him, but Kai overpowered him and tackled him to the ground, raining blows on him. Leo was brave enough to use his elbow to avoid the punches.“I did what I could to get to know her just like you did to me; you were doing an
ARYA WAYNEFor the few days I had spent at Kai’s, I realized he wasn’t bad like I always assumed, even though I hated the fact that he had to kidnap me to prove a point.I got used to the place where I knew there was no one coming back for me. Things went well, and I didn’t even think for a while that anyone was looking for me until that morning. I was waiting for Kai to come back home with the things I had asked him, and I was also anxious and anticipating talking to my father. He had made a promise to me, and I knew he was going to keep it.I had so many chances to escape, but I thought maybe it was best if I just stayed and learned something about him. You see, something funny about Kai was the fact that he would do anything to piss Leo off, but I knew he had this liking for me that he couldn’t hide when he was around me. I think he was starting to like me somehow, but there was no solid evidence for my claims.As I walked to the awaiting car with Dylan, my brother, I couldn’t help
3RD PERSON’S POVAfter the fight between Leo and Kai, Alpha Leo made it home, but his mom was surprised to see him a bit bruised and asked, “Son, what happened to you?” She asked as she rushed to check the bruises on his face.“Kai happened, but I am good, Mom, just some bruises. A pack of ice would be fine, but you should have seen him. I made sure I left a mark on him, and were it not for Luna Isabella, I would have killed that bastard.”“Whoa, slow down, son, what exactly happened?” She asked curiously.“Mom, as I said, I met Kai earlier, and we had a fight, a good one this time. I had to teach him a lesson, and I guess he got his today. I just don’t like it when people think they can do whatever they want and get away with it.”“Okay, I get it, son. Did you find Arya? I don’t think it is a good idea for you to roam around beating the hell out of every Alpha without proof that he is holding Arya hostage; that is not how to handle things.” She said she was concerned, and Leo shrugged
3RD PERSON’S POV“I think the best way to handle this is if we have a meeting. Let us have a lengthy discussion and see how we can handle this mess. I know this is not something to discuss, but it is a serious situation that needs seriousness at hand,” Cassandra said to Penelope. The two had decided to meet for a serious discussion on what they could do about this whole marriage issue.“Yeah, I am sure you are right, but why should I trust you? You are one person who is siding with Isabella in everything; how can I trust you?” Penelope asked; she knew that Casandra couldn’t be trusted, but what she didn’t have was a choice; she just had to deal with her for the time being. Everyone around town knew that the moonlight pack was ready and willing to get a mate for their Alpha, and that meant they could do anything.“I don’t know why you still don’t trust me; I know we have had our differences before and all that, but we are here to talk about matters concerning our packs; we are going thr
3RD PERSON’S POVMeanwhile, at Wayne’s house, everyone wore a happy face, and it was a pleasure for Mr. Wayne to see his family again, especially his daughter Arya.“Honey, we are just glad that you are back home, safe and sound. I am grateful.” Mr. Wayne said, and they were seated all around the table enjoying dinner.“Thank you, Dad; you know Dylan and Leo had a hand in this, and we should be thankful to this wonderful duo; they are like my guardian angels; they saved me when I had lost hope, and I owe it to them.”“No, you don't, sis." "We did this for you, and I would do it again and again, but as Dad said, we just have to be grateful for what we have right now: you back safe and sound, even though your boyfriend here couldn’t eat or sleep without finding you; he was so worried about you,” Dylan said while he eyed Leo.“You guys, I am good. I was just as worried about you as any other person would be; come on, eat up to your fill; we have a lot to talk about in private.” He said th
3RD PERSON’S POVPenelope and Cassandra were tasked with discussing the plan with the other elders. Penelope dashed back to the pack to see Sophia, who needed to see her about the whole mate thing.“What happened? Did you talk to Cassandra? Do you think she compelled Arya to fall for Kai?”“No, I don’t think so; if she did, I would have known by now because, as a witch, I would know when something is done to someone or if a witch practices magic or anything related to witchcraft, even if they just do a spell. I would know because that is a gift I got from my late mom; she taught me that, and trust me when I tell you nothing of the sort has happened, plus, I don’t think you should be worried about Arya. I have seen her spending more time with Leo, and someone told me they even kissed. Those two are She said so, and Sophia chuckled.“Why do you trust this Cassandra so much?" "You are always rooting for her when I say something negative that she might have done.”“It is because we come fr
ALPHA LEO LANCESpending time with Arya made me realize that I might just have misunderstood and misjudged her in the first place; she was quite cool, well-conversant, and very social. She even reminded me of my ex-girlfriend Thea; she was the love of my life, or so I thought; we loved each other and dated from junior year to senior year, and even though my father was against the relationship, he was always pressuring me to focus on finding a mate.I was not in a hurry to find a mate for myself until the time was right, and since Thea was always there for me, I always thought that she deserved to be my mate.I met Thea under very weird circumstances: we were out hunting with my father when I found her all alone in the forest; we were young by then and the thought of us ever being together didn’t cross my mind; she was rejected by her foster parents and was forced to fend and look out for herself at the age of thirteen; what I didn’t know until we dated for almost three years is that sh
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
