View MoreI stood at the balcony, carefully observing the pack members working all over the place trying to get a part of their work done.
I kept wondering what the fuss was all about .My father,the Alpha of Light Moon pack kept barking orders at pack members.
Apparently the Alpha king has been making rounds all over the East Region of packs .it was a tradition for the Alpha king to check on the welfare of the werewolves.
He goes to every pack to see how they are fairing and to check if everything is running smoothly and the pack members are satisfied.
Stories had it that the Alpha king has the right to denounce an Alpha's position if he notices any mistreatment or disunity in a park.
Even as Alpha born , everyone still tried their best to not be on the Alpha king bad side.
The way my father speaks of him with hate and fear.He portrays him as a ruthless and blood sucking animal,one that doesn't show mercy.
Since the announcement of the Alpha king's arrival, rumors have spread fast like wildfire . People had different narratives about some which I believed tho.
Someone said he never smiles no Matter the circumstance
Another said he is quick to snap a wolf's neck if he was having a bad day.
Another said he always dressed himself in a cloak because he was a vampire and having direct contact with the sun would be unbearable for him.
I gasped when I heard the word,at that instant I knew it was a lie .I have never met the Alpha king but in the werewolves community,they don't allow close contact with vampires, In Fact they were sworn enemies and they never co_exist.
And if truly the Alpha king was a vampire,his scent would have given him away
And he would have been killed long ago
Nobody really knows what he looks like, still sharing the narrative of his looks too.He was said to be a weird person.
After his father's death,he sacked most of the workers and only had a few servants at his beck and call. He lives at the outskirts of the East Region,only seen during his customary rounds.
My dad, Alpha Gerald was not someone I would call a good Alpha,he cares solely about himself and his mate.
My momma died a few years after my birth and my dad was left to sulk for the loss of his mate.
I noticed my mother's friend was frequenting the pack house where my father's chambers were located .I was just a child and I didn't know what was going on .
A year after my mom's death.a Luna ceremony was held and Helen, my mother's friend, was marked by my dad and pronounced the Luna of the Light moon pack.
In the werewolves community they are the soulmates and acquired mates .
The mom is my dad's soulmate.Their union was ordained by the Moon goddess.There are fated mates
Acquired mate is done when a wolf doesn't get to meet their other half fast or they fall in love with someone that isn't their mate but most people use it for their selfish interest in power just like my step mom.
My father showers favor on his mate.i also have a step sister who is just few years younger than me
I won't say am being maltreated but I don't feel like I belong here.with everything going on I would have preferred if my mom was still alive
Years have passed and I am now a grown up staring down at the mess unfolding in front of me in preparation for the arrival of our honorable Alpha king.
It's been a week since the preparation of his coming.The light Moon pack is going to be the last pack he visits in the East Region which simply means the seven Alphas in the region will have a meeting after the light Moon pack surveillance by the Alpha king.There are also allowed to come with a few pack members because after the judge ment have been passed,the Light Moon pack will host a little party for the Alpha king.
The meeting is solely for the Alpha King's judgment and analysis on his rounds so far.
I shuddered at the thought of hosting all this powerful people in one place.i never wanted to be in attendance of any events going to hold but with the ball and as the first daughter of Alpha Gerald and the potential Alpha which I know won't be possible because of my father preference for Alisa my step sis
I have to be in attendance unfortunately.
My thoughts wandered back to the Alpha king
"What a weird character"
"Who is weird?"
I startled at the obvious presence of another being and I slowly turned around
I breathed in relief when I saw the familiar face of my best friend Eve. We have been friends since we were pups. We shifted together on our eighteenth birthday.
I am the shy and reserved person in the friendship while Eve on the other hand is the life of the party.She keeps telling me to be adventurous but thinking about who my father is and how he doesn't let me step a foot outside of the pack house.
Having only Eve as my friend made it easier for my dad because she is his Beta's daughter and she spends most of her time in my house but stepping outside was prohibited
"What have you been up to" Eve said
I had almost forgot she was standing close to me
"I can't help but watch this" I said pointing downward to the shuffling and bustling
"Ok, have you gotten an outfit for the event"
"Not yet,there is still plenty of time for that"
"Uh.Uh don't start with that bullshit,it's a week from now and I don't want you looking like a maid"
"Appearing like a maid isn't bad at all,I think I like the idea"I joked and Eve rolled her eyes which made me laugh
"You have to look your best who knows you might find your mate "
"It's been four years I shifted and haven't gotten a mate,I don't think am fated to have one"
"Shush don't say that, the moon Goddess never makes a mistake.Everyone is destined to have a mate"
"But it's unusual, even though the pack members don't say it to my face . I hear whispers of my lack of mate"
"Am sure I would have found my mate if I hadn't been confined to this hell hole. Look at me Eve, I've been taught all my life to be a calm and obedient person. I can't explore just like you do. We shifted together but you found your mate earlier and you are even in your breeding period "
"Enough of this emotional talk,you will get dressed, look ravishing and get to meet your mate,am positive about this”
Am sure he will be kind, handsome and a man with an untainted reputation,you will see"
I sighed,I hear this every time there is an event and nothing positive ever comes out of it.
I really want to leave this house.
Don't get me wrong,I am not being maltreated, just that my movements are restricted and carefully monitored as if to prevent me from a dangerous prey waiting to pounce on me.
One time I decided to rebel for the first time and I sneaked out of the house and went to a friend's party without my father's consent .
I was dragged out of the party by my dad's guards.
When I got home,my dad was fuming,I've never seen him so angry
I was thrown into the basement where rogues are kept for two days as my punishment.
"Marty, Marty,you are lost in thought again"
I've been doing this lately getting lost in thought was becoming a habit
"Am sorry, what were u saying "
"Come girl"
She drag me subtly back to my room
Anytime she does this,she wanted to be discreet about a particular information that is about to be divulged
"I want you to stay out of the Alpha King's sight" she said in a hushed voice as if scared he might overhear her
"Why" the question came from a place of curiosity,a part of me knew why ,I just wanted to hear it directly from her.
"I don't know,am sure you have heard some narrative about him,I just want you to be safe,you are more at risk than I am,you know why"
Yeah the unmated female get into danger more than the mated once, this is because the werewolves community can't afford to get saddled with weak warriors because their mates are in danger "
Mates are the other half of wolves.
If found ,they make the significant other stronger.
The loss of one's mate can lead to the death of the other or by chance the weakened state of the person.
"Thanks but are the rumors really true"
" a reasonable amount of people has affirmed,so am sure it is"
"Does the Alpha king have a name "
Our conversation stopped abruptly when we heard footsteps approaching my room. There was a light knock at the other end of the door
"Who is that"
"Kathy,"
"Come in"
Kathy is a mother figure to me,she practically raised me and she is very loyal to me.
"Marty, Miss"she bowed acknowledging Eve and I
I have given her a firm warning not to address me with formalities
"Your mate awaits your presence" she said directing the news to Eve
"Oops I have to run along,Mateo needs me"
"I will be back by noon,get ready we are getting you a dress today "
"I don't think Dad will not
allow me go out "
"Look for a way,Bye" she hastily walked out.
I sighed, One day it will be me getting all giddy just by hearing
I stumbled with the pain I was feeling, completely soaked in blood, the sword cuts around different angles on my body, which was oozing out blood right now.I sighted my palace from afar, that was where I was dragging myself to with the level of pain I was feeling, I needed to get closer to my mate, I needed her and probably our pup who must have been out now.I knew Ryan wanted me dead but today I had to see it deep in his eyes and it was worse than what I thought, Ryan hates me to the point of him not wanting to breathe in the same air as me.My mind flashed back to some hours ago, blood was already flowing on the floor, innocent people who didn't deserve to die were present, I wasn't bothered at first because the amount of casualties on the floor wasn't as much as the one that was added.I was more worried because my mate and I had promised the other Alphas that their warriors would come back safely to them and with the numbers of dead and injured people right now my mate's life was
“Hey old friend” he seemed at me and my mate as I surveyed the environment,still in fear and pain.“What are you doing here” Dante asked“To help kill and bring the downfall of our mutual enemy” he said and immediately different men of different sizes and shapes troop in from goddess knows where and with them were mysterious materials that I have never seen before.The way the men wielded this instrument it must be very powerful.“Guns” Dante spoke again his eyes wide with surprise. I was trying so hard to withhold this pain I was feeling but it was getting unbearable so I let out a loud groan which diverted their attention to me.Alex rushed to my side and so did Dante, both men holding me still. A loud growl was heard afterwards from no one but my mate who is obviously giving Alex a warning to back off which he did as he raised his hand up in surrender.“Whoa Whoa,you still remember my words right king” his American accent thick as hell.“She only looks like my late mate you know, I
There stood the betrayer whom I trusted with my life and have done everything in my power to take care of,he held a mischievous grin plastered firmly across his face like he was having this time of his life.“Theo” I called again progressing Into the room slowly, this room has a flicker of light so it was a little bit easier to see and comprehend what is going on in the environ.I winced immediately I saw the knife he positioned on my mate's neck,a trickle of blood I could see as the knife was injuring her, her hand held her bump protectively as tears dropped from her face.I moved forward, towards her to help but I was stopped when Theo pressed the knife further into her skin and she let out a shriek.“Stay back” he ordered, my heart twisted in pain at the sight before me, it wasn't enough that my mate was kidnapped but my most trusted servant is currently holding a knife to her closely threatening to end her life, I stared at her cute little bump how she had held it so productively
The warriors begin their arrival from that night, before dawn the palace was filled with able bodied men, scary looked grown ups,both men and women who were ready to lay down their lives for me and my mate.“We head out by noon” I ordered standing at the threshold of the mansion in order to be heard by the crowd of people.Matthias, my secret agent, approached me immediately after my address to the people “My Lord, I hope this is a good idea” he looked at me, his gaze laced with pity.“Why did you say so Matthias” I questioned perplexed at the emotionless hulk in front of me finally showing vulnerability.“The soldiers at the North Region are more than what we have gathered and their weapons looks foreign too” I sighed, patting him slowly at the back, understanding the reason behind his worry was my death.“Matthias don't worry,the moon goddess has ordained this to happen and now all I want you to do is promise me” I heaved a troubled sigh.“About what exactly my Lord” “Even if I hav
“My Lord a courier just arrived with a message for you” the guard whose howl stopped me from going over the border caught up with me.“It can wait, I need to save my mate” I said determined as ever“It's from Ryan, the Alpha King of North Region” That was enough to stop me from shifting back to my werewolf form “Did it say what is inside” I asked, my mind occupied with my mate thought,he shook his head negatively“The back of the envelope was written urgent” I looked at the far distance of the North Region contemplating if I should keep going or move back to see what the courier brought.What if my mate was not taken to the North Region? If truly Ryan took my mate he wouldn't be stupid enough to keep her in the North Region palace because as her mate I would catch her scent fast.My mind raced in confusion and uncertainty but then I decided to take the risk and retract my steps, quickly switching to let Carl take over and running straight back to my palace in haste.I got to the pala
I wasn't aware pregnancy was this stressful and uncomfortable, I was always eating and my feet is always sore and the thirst for water had tripled more than it was before.This night I was sitting up because I couldn't find the right position to sleep and the baby inside me was giving me a hard time doing that, I turned to my side to look at my gracious mate who was snoring away in sleep while I couldn't get any, I would have woken him up but I restraint myself since he helped me massage my feet before I slept, he also needed rest.I stood up and moved towards the kitchen, I needed some water but immediately I stepped out of the room,the guard that was positioned outside by my mate stood in my way.“My lady where are you off to by this hour” I rolled my eyes at his exaggeration, I was just going to the kitchen.““No need to exaggerate Mark, I am only going to get water from the kitchen” I said “But let me go with you”he offered “I am not a child and am sure you can see the kitchen
“Where is my mate” I shouted, my body already trembling with fear, I woke up without my mate by my side like she always was, she had been complaining of sore feet the day before and I massaged it for her before she slept off.Her bump was bigger now and evident and she kept complaining about her body, how she wouldn't look attractive to me anymore and how her big nose was going to be a turn off for me but I kept assuring her that I loved her regardless of any of those changes.Infact I saw it as a very proud thing knowing it was that little pup in her causing all this havoc on a perfect body.Now I woke up and tapped the side of my bed in other to cuddle my mate but the space was cold and empty, which means she is not in the bed and she has been gone for long, I wasn't surprised at first because her constant standing up at time was becoming a normal routine for her especially as her due date was closed she is in her eighth month.She drank water too much lately so she always goes down
Author's P.O.VDante woke up startled he has felt a presence leave the surround of the palace in the middle of the night and he knew at once that it was Theo,he alerted his spy and Instructed to follow Theo to wherever he is headed. He hastily mindlinked him.“It's time”Theo's wolf ran deep into the forest, crumpling and hitting the woods and dried stick on his way oblivious of the presence carefully trailing him behind.He passed the border of the North Region heading straight to the palace of the Alpha King of North Region. The spy scrunched his eyebrows together confused as to why the King's Beta was entering into the enemy land.He didn't stop as he followed suit and keeping a good distance from Theo, followed him till when Theo shifted back to his human form and when he got to the entrance door,the guards stationed at the door didn't stop him from entering it was like he had been coming there and it's a natural thing.The spy retract his movement right out of the North Region,he
I made my way to my meeting room this time with a bigger reason to win the war, I have to tell Theo, my most trusted man, about the news of my unborn baby. Maybe that would also increase his zeal to want to win the war too.“Theo, I called for this meeting with you as my Beta and the head of the warriors of the palace because I want to ask you if you have come up with any strategy of yours that can help in the victory of this war?” I asked immediately as I entered the room, Theo was already in before I was.“None my Lord”“What do you mean?”I asked, angered by his response.“It's been two weeks since I told you about the war and the arrival of the stranger who alerted me and you stand in front of me to tell me that you haven't thought about any situation that might lead to our victory in the war.”“I am sorry my Lord I felt it wasn't useful anymore since you informed me about the Luna Queen healing power” he confessed“How dare you, how dare you think you have the right to relax becau
