ALPHA KAIAfter we made dinner together, I thought we were finally going somewhere; I thought we were on the same page, but that changed that night. God knows how much I wanted to spend the night with her; all I wanted was to hold her close to my chest and cuddle with her the whole night. I needed her, but I knew I had to exercise some patience. After dinner, I led her to the room upstairs.I loved the room since it belonged to my ex-girlfriend, Kara Williams. She died when I was in my senior year. We had so many plans, including moving in together as soon as we were done with the senior year, but she was killed by wolf hunters a few days before my prom day. No one knew about the house except Kara and I, and that is why I knew Arya would be safe in the house without anyone suspecting anything.As I rested on the couch, waiting for sleep to come through, I realized that Arya was uncomfortable on the couch, but since I respected her privacy and didn’t want to keep pushing her, I ignored
ALPHA LEOIt had been three days—three fucking days! Without seeing her, my mind was in turmoil, and I didn’t know what else to do.I tried looking for her all around the pack and around town, but all my efforts bore no fruit; everyone I sent to look for her came back with the same answer.She was not within the moonlight pack, and no one knew where she was—not even Kai was spotted with her.The statement only made me lose hope, but I knew I had to be strong for her; she needed me at the moment, and I had to be there for her no matter the distance or how far we were from each other. I still had hopes of finding her and protecting her from Kai, who had already shown me that he was not going to stop tormenting me anytime soon; he aimed to frustrate me and Arya's life too.The same gross answer I got from everyone I sent: I felt bad that I didn't check on her the days she said she wanted some space to think, and for some reason, I felt like I missed her. It was not normal for me to just m
ALPHA KAIAfter having the best time of my life with Miranda that morning, I went to work all smiles. Everything was going well with Arya, even though I knew deep down she was hiding her true feelings. But with time, I knew I was going to crack and I was going to get to her heart; that is all I needed to win her. She was frail and fragile when it came to showing her true feelings, acting all strong and harsh to hide her emotions, but I knew how to get to her; I was slowly learning her weakness and her strength.I worked through the day happily, anticipating seeing Arya at the end of the day. Miranda passed by my office at the agreed time, and I took her shopping. Our relationship worked best because we had a mutual agreement to be friends with benefits, and she was okay with it. The money I always gave her was for upkeep, and she was cool with it.“What do you think about this dress?” Miranda asked as she tried on the 20th dress that evening, and I shrugged tiredly. She was still tryin
ALPHA LEO LANCEI couldn’t sleep the whole night. I kept thinking about Arya and wondering about the torture she was going through. I just couldn’t forgive myself for what she was going through. If only I had acted upon the series of events going on that day, maybe she wouldn’t have gone through the whole abduction process.“This is not your fault, but as I said to you before, you should have marked her the moment you spotted her; she is the right match we have been looking for all along, but you just couldn’t listen to me, could you?” My wolf said to me, but I ignored him; he had been tormenting me ever since Arya was kidnapped, and even though I hated the torture he was putting me through, some part of me knew he was right; I had the chance at hand but ignored it.“I know you don’t want to listen to me, and you probably don’t want to hear my ideas or what I want to say, but you know I am right, so what if she is already marked as his mate? Do you want us to continue living without a
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
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
