Michelle smiled as she looked down below from the balcony of her place. Her roles as the luna of Summit pack had been reinstated and she was back to being the second most powerful person in the pack. The wind blew her hair back and she enjoyed the feeling of the wind as it blew against her face. For her, life was good again. She was feeling particularly happy that evening. Soon, she was going to get rid of the biggest thorn in her life for good. If it wasn’t for Axel, she would have killed Emma already. But Axel had told her he was planning to first enjoy her before getting rid of her. While standing there, she spotted Casey looking very determined and walking towards the garden. A few seconds later, she spotted a man whose name she didn’t know heading to the garden from another direction. Michelle frowned.“Clearly, those two want to cement their positions in this pack,” Michelle said to herself. “But I’m not going to let that happen, not when I can do something about it.”Michelle
After the last torture, Emma had passed out. She regained consciousness when she was alone. Her wounds had healed and the pain was gone but she could still feel a dull throbbing in her head. The room reeked of blood which was everywhere. The place looked and smelled like a murder scene. Emma got up from her seat and went towards a table that had a jar of water. She took it and placed it near her nose, smelling it. She didn’t sense any poisonous substance in it so she drank a little, just enough to take away the thirst. After taking the water, she went back and sat in the corner, studying the dismal room. It was fairly dark inside. The bulb that was bringing in light was dim and its light didn’t spread far. It had got colder than it was when Emma had been taken there. Emma was feeling very angry at herself for believing that Michelle could actually want to be her friend. How could she have been so foolish to believe that vulture? In any case, why would she even want to be friends wit
Darkness was taking over the world quickly as Emma ran through the dense forest. Fear was etched on her face as she pushed herself harder. Her heart was racing and her breath was coming out in short, ragged gasps. The men were getting closer to her. She leaped over fallen logs, tripped over sticks, and dodged the branches hanging low from above. When she glanced back, she saw that the men were closing the distance. She tried to think of a way out but running was the only option.Emma felt relieved when she saw the main highway up ahead. When she looked back, she saw that the men were nowhere to be seen. She increased her speed and was almost there when the two men emerged from the shadows. “Running won’t help you, beautiful.” The pervert from earlier said with a menacing smile. “You cannot outrun us.”Emma tried to continue running but she stumbled over a tree trunk she had not seen. She looked up and her wide eyes darted between the two strong men.“Please let me go,” she begged, de
“Oh Janet,” Michelle said as she sipped her beer. “I’m so happy. Lucius is finally going to be mine again.”They were out in a pub not far away from the pack house. Janet smiled and placed her wine glass on the table.“That girl is so stupid,” Janet said. “I can’t believe she actually thought you could be her friend. Like, has she seen you?”Michelle chuckled. “I even feel offended that she thought I could lower myself to be friends with a rogue. I think being in our pack had started confusing her. She thought she was one of us. Now I have her where I want.”“Lower your voice. You never who’s listening in.”“I don’t care as long as no one has proof that I did anything,” Michelle said. “Come, let’s hit the dance floor. I’m in such a good mood.”Janet allowed herself be led by Michelle and they went to the dancefloor. They danced together to the slow song. A few minutes later, a man made his way towards them.“May I have this dance?” he asked, looking at the beautiful luna.”Michelle’s
Just when Emma was about to get out of the road, the car stopped. She quickly opened the door and jumped in.“Drive as fast as you can,” she told the man inside. The car started and was out of there in seconds, leaving her assailants behind.“Thank you so much,” Emma told the man whose face she couldn’t see clearly. “The man they were taking me back to was going to kill me.”The man did not say anything. He kept driving fast until they were out of the forest area. Soon they reached a small town but the man kept driving. At some point, Emma wondered if she had jumped from the frying pan to the fire. Could the man be worse than Axel? When she remembered who Axel was, she decided it was not possible. Besides, the man seemed human. But she didn’t want to come to conclusions very fast. He could be a warlock. Warlocks and witches can pass for human since they don’t have any distinct scent. For this man to be so unafraid in that region, he had to have some powers. Most humans did not rescue
After some time, Emma decided to relax and let the man drive her to wherever he was going. She was sure he was human and knew she could handle him if the worst happened. The man kept glancing at her as he drove, seemingly surprised even though he tried not to show it. Emma leaned back and relaxed, waiting for them to get to the destination. Fifteen minutes later, he stopped the car outside a building in a residential centre. There were many light poles in the area and not many people or cars moving around. It was also very quiet there, a nice neighbourhood.“You live here?” Emma asked, glancing at a white house surrounded by a white wall.“I believe you,” he said at last.Emma smiled. “Why?”“You’re not scared of me,” he stated. “When I started to drive fast, you seemed scared for a minute and I thought you were lying about being whatever you are. The way you seem unbothered says you’re not really scared of me. And I can’t think of a reason why any normal young woman wouldn’t be scare
The next morning, Emma was up early, ready to leave. When she woke up, the smell of eggs and bacon reached her and she smiled. She had found a shirt and men’s shorts in the closet of the room but when she left the room, she found a laundry basket placed by the door. It had women’s clothes. Emma picked it up and took it back to the room. There were two long black dresses, a pair of blue jeans and two blouses. There were even four panties and two bras. Emma blushed as she imagined Andres picking out her underwear. All the clothes had tags on so Emma figured they were new. She chose to put one of the dresses and went down to see what was cooking in the kitchen. She found Andres setting the table.“You didn’t have to cook for me,” she told him.“Ah I forgot, you don’t trust me. If you want, I can taste all the food before you eat it.”“Not necessary. I’ll eat what you have made without requiring all that. You have been very nice to me and I don’t think it’s okay for me to continue to tre
Coming out of the shower, Michelle headed to her part of the closet. She pulled out her favourite lingerie and perfume from the drawer. The lingerie was a hot pink two piece. She placed everything she had carried alongside those two articles on the bed and laid her towel on the bedroom couch. She sat on it and started applying sweet smelling lotion on her porcelain skin. She applied the perfume after that and went to stand in front of the vanity where she proceeded to apply make up on her skin. She smiled as she stared at her beautiful face through the mirror. She looked perfect.Michelle went and got her lingerie and started putting it on. She frowned when she realised both the top and bottom half felt tighter. She glanced at her stomach and she saw a trace of fat. She wondered if she should put on a one-piece instead because it could hide the small roll of fat developing on her waist. “It’s all that stress,” she said, remembering Emma. Michelle figured stress due to Emma’s presence
The evening was calm. A gentle breeze carried the sweet smelling scents of different flowers, spreading it all over the garden. Emma’s heart was filled with delight as she strolled through the garden next to her favourite person. The garden was filled with daises, roses, and tulips among other flowers, creating a very colourful scene. This matched with Emma’s mood which was cheerful. With her hand in his, they walked along the cobblestone path, letting their hearts speak to each other.Lucius was telling Emma about his childhood. He narrated to her about funny adventures he and his friends had engaged in while in the garden. As he showed her different places, she felt like she was reliving his childhood with him, and it strengthened their connection.“What?” Lucius suddenly said and stopped walking. He seemed to be listening to someone via mind link. Since Emma had been integrated to the park, she was now able to mind link with other pack members. After the mating process, she and Luc
Two days later…It was a beautiful morning. The sun rising and the atmosphere was becoming warmer each passing minute. The large dining room in the pack house was a hub of activity with many of the pack members having their breakfast. Casey and Emma were enjoying their hearty meal in one of the best tables while Michelle was in a corner downing her food as fast as she could so she could get out of there. Her position as Luna had not been officially taken away from her but everyone knew that she was no longer the alphas mate and no longer respected her. Even her former best friend Janet did not want to be associated with her. She claimed it was because Michelle tried to kill Emma, but everyone knew that she had never been a true friend to Michelle. She had been in it for the benefits which was understandable. Michelle was very hard to love.“I wonder why she doesn’t just leave,” Casey said referring to Michelle. “No one wants her here, including her family.”“Be nice,” Emma reprimande
Emma woke up with a jolt. When he eyes shot open, she looked around the strange room which reeked of herbs and medicine. She was sweating so much that her entire blouse was wet. Her head felt heavy. She closed her eyes and thought of the last thing she remembered which was Michelle wriggling in pain on the floor. Her hand instinctively moved to her chest where there had been a wound. It had healed. She didn’t understand why Michelle had also been in pain. The only reasonable answer was that a witch had linked them so that Michelle would also die if she killed Emma. Could Casey have done it?Emma lay awake for a few minutes, not bothering to get up because she could feel that her body was still very weak. Whatever Michelle had used to try to murder her must have been very strong. She was about to drift off to sleep when she heard voices. The people they belonged to where still far because she couldn’t make them out clearly.Suddenly, a sweet-smelling scent wafted into the room. It was
Lucius didn’t like having to cut down indigenous trees but the pack needed more land for a meat processing plant. The town was not developing fast enough and they had decided to start industrializing more as a development strategy. There were a lot of untapped opportunities that he was sure would improve the lives of his pack and the neighbouring packs if implemented. The humans were progressing very fast and it was best for them to do the same. If they stayed backward for long, the humans would try to come and take over the land.Lucius was not afraid of what the humans would try to do to them. He was worried there would be too much unnecessary bloodshed. If they developed their town, the humans would not see the need to try to do it for them.Lucius was talking to some council members under a tent when he started to feel a kind of pain he had never experienced before. He almost screamed out when it hit but he had to stay strong since he was the alpha. Under no circumstances was he a
The house was empty and quiet. It was also fairly cool. Michelle was happy to lead the guard to one of the rooms on the ground floor. She had linked her arm with his and that was enough for him to forget all about his job and follow her like a puppy. As soon as they entered the room, Michelle started kissing him. He kissed him back, going fast as if he had been craving her lips for the longest time possible. The kiss disgusted Michelle because she had no interest in the man but she had to bear with it. She was a woman on a mission and this time, she didn’t want to stop until she had achieved her goal. With Emma in the pack, Michelle knew that she would never be happy no matter how she tried. Soon, Lucius would divorce her and that would turn her into a ‘nobody’. The whole pack would no longer be afraid to make fun of her in public. She knew they humiliated her in private, saying all kinds of mean things behind her back. Because she was the luna, they could never say it to her face. I
When Michelle heard Lucius leaving in the middle of the night, she knew he was going to see Emma. She felt the bile in her throat and got up from the bed. She went to her closet and opened a jewellery box. Underneath a necklace was a key. She removed the key and went back to the bedroom. Squatting, she inserted the key into the bottom drawer and twisted it. She pulled the drawer open and stared at the box inside it. Grabbing the box, Michelle stood up straight and went to put it on the bed. She sat down and opened the box.She removed the dagger inside it and stared at it. There was a vial of a certain poison in the box as well. Michelle placed the dagger back in the box and returned it to where it had come from before locking up. This time, she didn’t take the key back to the closet. She placed it under the mattress.Michelle went back to bed and pulled out her phone. She went to the contacts and deleted Axel’s number. She couldn’t believe that Axel had been brought down by Jack Carv
When Emma woke up, she was lying on a bed and it was dark. Slowly, the memory of Lucius injecting her came to her mind. She sat up and looked around the dark room. It was better than most of the rooms in the pack house. Where was she? She slowly got up from the bed and went to the window. She pulled the curtains aside and looked outside. She was not shocked to notice she was in the cottage Michelle had almost killed her in. she sighed and went to turn on the light before trying to open the door. Emma’s heart started racing when she realised that it was locked. She banged on it as loud as she could.“Hello? Who’s there?” she yelled on top of her voice. “Get me out of here!”A few seconds later, she started hearing footsteps. She went back to the window, only to find that it was boarded there were three metallic vertical rods that had been used to board it up. She could not escape through the window.She realised the footsteps had stopped at the door but there was no movement to open th
She stopped and watched as the door opened. It was like time had frozen as she watched the man she loved strut into the room followed by an equally handsome man. Their striking appearances commanded attention and changed the atmosphere in the room. They were both tall with broad shoulders, wearing black suits. Lucius’s jawline complimented his sharp features increasing the magnetic charm of his blue eyes. Every step he took was effortless and graceful.Emma glanced at the man walking beside Lucius. He was impressively tall and looked very athletic. Unlike Lucius, this man had long, wavy hair that cascaded down the sides of his face. “This is she?” the man said, approaching Emma. “You were right. She’s perfect.”Lucius stopped right in front of Emma who was yet to move because she didn’t know what to do. He went closer and pulled her into his arms. They remained like that for a minute. When he pulled away, the other man had gone to the table.Lucius looked into Emma’s eyes. “Why?”“Guy
A few minutes later, Emma was trudging through the silent forest with five strange men. She had pleaded countless times for them to reveal the person behind their operation but they refused. The other three men who had shot Axel and his counterparts had joined the two who had captured her and were chatting away about things related to their pack whose name she hadn’t been told. She didn’t dare run from the men because it was pointless. They would catch her within a minute. Besides, annoying them would not make things better for all those involved.When they came out of the forest, two black cars were waiting. Having given up on escape, Emma got into one. She could only hope she was not being taken to someone who hated her like Michelle. She sat in the backseat with one of the men and looked through the tinted glass as the car sped towards the city.The human city was bustling with activity, very different from most of the places she was used to. There was a lot of traffic, noise and c
