I looked at my parents after Cyrus asked to come with us, “It is not up to me Cyrus, it is up to my parents. I do not have any issue with you coming with us,” I tell him. My parents look at him, “Of course, Cyrus. We would like it if you came with us,” my mother says. “Thank you, Lady Jolene,” he says.
Cyrus was very happy, when I looked at Austin and Harlan, they were already moving to hug him. “I was actually thinking of asking you to come with us today, I did not want to leave one of my mates behind,” Harlan says. Cyrus beams and kisses him. Harlan freezes, Cyrus notices and pulls away.
“I am sorry, I know you wanted to take things slow and I am okay with that, I was just really excited. The fact that you wanted me to come with you makes me really happy,” he rushes out. Harlan laughs, “It is cool. You just took me by surprise and I was shocked that is all, I a
“The shapeshifter they sent was named Cole and he pretended to be Maverick’s Third, Jake. He told me that he heard a rumor that Maverick had been cheating on me with his ex-wife, Austin’s mother. When I checked it out with my adoptive brother and my beta, I saw Maverick leaving her house,” Jolene continues.“When I saw him, I was devastated. My beta suggested we go inside and ask Cynthia who she was with. We found that it was Jake. Then we explained that we had just seen Maverick leaving her house. That was when we realised that Jake was a shapeshifter and we made a plan to catch him. I fed him information about Maveric and I’s relationship,” she continues.“I made him think he was my best friend and closest confidante. He was sympathetic thinking I was with a cheating man. Maverick knew our plan, and was flirting with my third’s sister in front of Jake. We discovered that J
When our food arrived, we ate our food in silence, sometimes Theo would ask me questions and I would give him shallow answers. We got a bottle of wine and I drank two glasses of wine while I let him take the rest. I wanted to be alert later in the day. We skipped out on dessert.Theo flagged the waitress for the bill. When she came over with it, e paid for our meal and he walked me to his car, “Harlan, we are leaving the restaurant, are Austin and Cyrus ready?” I ask him. “Yes Luna, they are at the restaurant ready to follow you guys and then follow Theo,” he replies.Good, everything was going according to plan. I just wanted this to be over so I can finally meet Blake, my mate. We drive home in silence, I am silent because I am planning and I am sure he is quiet because he does not want to make small talk with me and he thinks we have nothing in common.We are almost at the Pack ho
Theo groans, “What has that empty headed spoilt princess done?” he asks. My blood boils when I hear how he describes me. I should not be angry, I should be happy, it means my plan was working. Still, he was going to suffer more for that particular insult, I will guarantee it. He will regret under estimating me.“I came in to check in on her and I saw her collapsed on the floor of her room, she looks like she is in some kind of trance but she is freezing and she is deathly pale. Maybe you can do something for her. You can feed on her pain,” Simon tells Theo. “Wait, what happened to her?” Theo asks as Simon words register in his brain.“She is half dead, that is why I am calling you. You need to come quick before any of her family members find her. They may think you did something to her during lunch,” Simon tells Theo. We hear rustling in the background and the sound of a zipper be
Theo growls at them and I kick him down. “Now, we shall have no more of that,” I tell him. “Theo, do not hurt him, please,” Hayden begs. “Hello Hayden. I told Theo that I would let you go if he told me who the leader of the shapeshifters was. I mean that. You did not insult me or call me names or try to play with my heart,” I tell her.“Unlike Theo here, who has been very naughty. He under estimated me. now he will pay,” I continue. “Theo, do not tell her anything, I am ready to die,” Hayden tells him. I look at her and laugh. “Wow, you must really love the trickster if you are willing to die for his cause. Why do you want the supernatural world to be destroyed?” I ask her.She looks at me, “People like you only care about themselves, when Theo becomes the ruler, he will rebuild the supernatural realm properly,” she says proudly. I laugh and tur
We take our time cleaning up the blood. Daniel, Cyrus, and Austin were tasked with disposing of Simon and Theo’s bodies. When we were done with cleaning up the blood, we all went to clean ourselves up. Lady Kira told us she would be hosting a farewell party for us and that we should be ready by nine.I put on the water heater. While I was waiting for the water to get hot, I went to my closet and picked out what I was going to wear tonight. I picked out a high waisted jean that was black and a dark red cropped top. I also picked out a pair of black combat boots to go with the outfit.Once I was done with my outfit, I went to the bathroom and got in the shower. I turned on the shower and my skin was met with scalding water. I sighed and started lathering up my body. I took my time and made sure I scrubbed every bit of blood from my body and I washed my hair thoroughly.I spent thirty minutes in th
After Lady Kira’s speech, the pack cheered and clapped for us. She had us climb the stage while they were cheering for us. When the cheering died down, we left the dais and went to join the party while our parents were still discussing with Lady Kira. Harlan went off somewhere with Austin and Cyrus.They were dancing together and enjoying themselves. As for me, I could not wait to get back to my room and pack up for the journey tomorrow. I asked my father how far the Vampire Kingdom was from here and he said it was actually pretty close. We would get to the borders of the kingdom in six hours and it would take us another hour to get from the border to the palace.I was so excited, by this time tomorrow, I would be with my mate. my father had called my uncle Collin earlier today to send the Royal car. It was big enough for six people and our luggage. The person bringing the car will be taking the G wagon back to the Lycan
Austin gets in the car and sits behind me, then Cyrus and finally Harlan gets in after him. Once every one is comfortably seated, and the luggage is secure, our mother and father get in the car and we start our trip to the Vampire Kingdom. The Royal car has our family emblem on it signifying us as Royalty.The drive was relatively quiet, I was reading my book, Harlan and Cyrus were asleep and Cyrus was cuddled into Harlan. Austin was watching a movie, Murder Mystery 2. The movie is about humans who have an investigative agency. It seems like a goofy comedic movie. I continued reading my book until my father stopped the car.He stopped at a gas station and I woke Harlan and Cyrus up. “Father wants us to use the restroom and get some snacks while he fills up the tank,” I tell them. I nudge Austin and relay my message. We all get down from the car and head towards the restroom. Once I am done using the toilet, I wash m
“My name is Garett and my lovely wife here is Helena. Our son is named Blake, we welcome you to our Kingdom. We were told that the child of the prophecy would be coming with you. I am guessing that is your daughter, Luna?” King Garett asks. “Yes, Garett, she is the child of the prophecy,” my mother replies.Before King Garett can reply, the door opens and the herald announces a name that makes my heart skip two beats, “The Crown Prince, His Royal highness, Blake Black.” I turn around as soon as I hear his name. he walks in and he looks even better in person. He looks at us and he stops in his tracks, “Mate,” my wolf and I say in unison.Blake and I both run towards each other and he picks me up and spins me around, “I cannot believe you are actually here right now, you are even more beautiful in person,” he says. “I have been dreaming about you and you are better
I was happy for this time I had, I used it to have another meeting with my family members, the idea was to find a solution to the vampires problem, I met and urge with those who I could to assist while sending a message to others to help before there is a shortage. The feed back was more than pleasant, we had more and more volunteers and all their blood work came out clean, before long the vampires had their kingdom in check, everyone who was poisoned with the bad batch were in no time cleared, Alaric on the other hand barely called and seemed to be very busy, I knew he was recovering and possibly scheming, but I was happy provided it was all rhetorical and whatever plan he might make possible was all faulted by us. Alaric came back after three days visiting his “mother”He drove into the compound and got out of his vehicle I rushed to him and hugged him tightly “Babeeeee! I have so missed you sooo much” I said as I pecked him He smiled sweetly at me“So how is your mum now?” I a
I woke up to the sound of Alaric voice, he was singing out loud and cheerfully as if he had won the lottery, I knew he believed he was winning in this silent battle he was having with me and my family but I knew he was in for a rude awakening I also perceived the nice aroma of breakfast, what ever he was cooking was definitely going to be very delicious He was cooking for me again I noticedHe really can be romantic but I smiled as I knew it was all a ruse, this was all a front to deceive and manipulate me but I was willing to allow him take advantage of me if this is his method of doing it. Alaric feels he is playing me whist it is the other way around, I want him as distracted as possible so he would not know how time flies. I could already smell from my room that he was cooking and that it was going to be delicious. There was a time I was worried about his food, worried that he might poison me or try to control meI was not really concerned about the control or him taking my
I knew past day I have given all my time to Blake because of how much I missed him, i know before Alaric comes for me I need to have a private meeting with all my family members, I knew this could possibly be our last moment together before the inevitable happens so I need to be sure everyone was on the same page. I made a mental connection to everyone I could, that we should meet in the dining room alone to go over our plan. I remove what I wore to bed and walk to the bathroom. I stand at the sink and brush my teeth. When I am done, I step into the shower and turn on the tap. I wash my hair and when I am done with washing my hair, I start washing my body. I finish with my shower and dry my body with my towel. When I finish, I wrap the towel around my hair so it can dry. I leave the bathroom and walk to the vanity. When I get there, I plug in my hair dryer and start blow drying my hair. Once I am done with drying my hair, I put on hairspray and I style my hair. I brush my hair until
As we stood there, disoriented and shaken, a distant sound caught our attention. The rumble of an approaching vehicle grew louder, filling us with a glimmer of hope.Within moments, headlights illuminated the darkened road, revealing the figure of a passerby. A kind stranger had stumbled upon our wreckage, offering a helping hand in our time of need.As the headlights grew brighter, casting a glow upon the wreckage, a wave of relief washed over us. The stranger approached with cautious steps; his concern evident in his eyes. It was Blake."Blake?" I murmured in disbelief, my voice barely above a whisper. I couldn't believe the twist of fate that had brought him to our side in this moment of desperation.He nodded, a mixture of surprise and concern crossing his face. "Luna, Alaric, what happened? Are you both alright?"Alaric, still recovering from the impact, managed a weak nod. "We were in an accident. The car crashed, and we need help."Blake immediately sprang into action, his quic
So, I had stayed inside, curled up in my blankets, trying desperately to distract myself with a book. However, it proved to be useless, and I ended up spending most of the afternoon watching TV in silence, occasionally sipping an occasional cup of coffee when I was bored.It had started raining halfway through my fourth cup of coffee, and the raindrops were falling onto the windowsill as I sat huddled underneath my covers, my knees pulled up to my chest and my arms wrapped tightly around my legs. A few minutes later, the front door swung open, and a mixture of anticipation and apprehension filled the air. My heart skipped a beat as I sat up, hoping it was him, hoping for a chance to reconnect. But as I heard the loud clattering noise, my hope turned to confusion, and I couldn't help but follow the sound."Dad!"The word escaped my lips before I could stop it, a combination of surprise and uncertainty. There he was, my father, walking further into the house, his presence stirring up a
They sat there for a moment. The only sounds in the room were their quiet breaths. Their footsteps echoing softly throughout the empty restroom. The ticking of the grandfather clock somewhere far away in the distance. They listened to its rhythm until Luna pulled back, resting her head on his shoulder again. Alaric looked down, catching sight of the bracelet she wore around her wrist. A simple silver band with tiny white flowers embroidered onto it. It reminded him of the sunflower bracelet his grandmother had given him when he was younger. He smiled faintly at the memory, running his thumb across the band. "It's funny. Before Mom died, she bought me this bracelet, too," Alaric murmured, his fingers tracing the delicate patterns on the bracelet lightly. "The sunflower represents hope…" he mumbled. Luna lifted her head, her eyebrows knitted together as she looked at him in confusion."Hope?" she questioned. Alaric shook his head slightly, smiling weakly. "Yeah." He paused, trying to f
She'd grown up without parents or a loving family, and though she'd managed to make some friends here in The City, she was far too lonely for her own good. He had never known any other woman who felt the way he did when he first laid eyes on her, and if this was their only chance at happiness together, then Alaric would not pass it by without making it count. He knew she liked men - he'd caught her eyeing up a few of them on occasion - and he hoped that once they got past the awkward stage of 'letting their feelings show', this could be a relationship where he wouldn't have to worry about disappointing her. There were so many things about Luna that made Alaric's chest feel tight and warm inside. Her smile, the sound of her voice, even the way she smelled. It all left him feeling so… so… "And besides," said Luna, smiling back at him with an impish look in her eyes. "Who wants a boyfriend who makes their job a nightmare?"They both chuckled, but neither could resist looking down at th
I couldn't contain my excitement as I reunited with my family, feeling the warmth and love radiating in the air. We gathered in the cozy living room, enveloped in laughter and joy. Embracing my parents tightly, I soaked in the comforting familiarity of their presence. It had been far too long since we were all together.Seated on plush sofas, we began sharing stories, eagerly catching up on the events that had unfolded during our time apart. My father animatedly recounted his latest adventures in his workshop, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm."You should have seen the intricate clock I crafted," he said, a gleam of pride in his voice. "Every cog and gear working in perfect harmony. It's a testament to the beauty of precision."My mother chimed in; her voice filled with admiration. "And your garden, dear. It has flourished under your loving care. The roses have bloomed like never before."As the conversation continued, I listened intently, cherishing every word as it painted a vivid
I woke up the next morning to my alarm screaming at me. It was so loud that I thought my eardrums were going to explode at the very next second, grumbling against my pillow.I contemplated on ignoring it or just going back to sleep after attending to it I finally chose an option that I did not thought of before I checked the time and it was six o’clock. A little bit of relief came to a sigh on my lips. I thought that I had overslept for a moment considering all the time I had procrastinated before coming to check the clock and so I stretched my hand and I turned off the alarm and sat up from bed. It was so early and my stomach was already growling, I couldn't imagine how hungry I was and so I needed to get ready for breakfast…I was craving something easy like cereal because I was already starving a lot.&nb
