The Curran Pack was the strongest and most feared pack in Europe and the whole of Asia. And it wasn't the strongest and the most feared because of their strong warriors or the fact that the most powerful Chief Prestiess came from the clan but because of the pack leader Alpha Alston Curran.Alston was powerful, strong and the strongest there was. He was willful, irrational, irritable, unpredictable and was without a mate.With his mother's worrying increasing every day, she goes to visit the Chief Priestess for help and after so many divinations for so many years, she finally saw something.Arya Jenkins life has been bliss from when she had been born; rich parents, the perfect boyfriend, the best friends there was and was at the top of the social ladder and that was until they went on a school trip and Arya finds out that her whole life might have been a lie.
view moreShe held her protruded belly running as fast as she could, her legs getting slower at every step she took. She knew that she couldn’t hold on for so much longer. The huge wolves running behind her would soon catch her up with her and that was the last thing she needed. If they caught her, she would be tied to the stakes and be burnt alive, she and her child. She needed to protect her child. She was innocent and had done nothing at all.
She wiped her already dirtied faced smearing even more mud on her face holding her belly and her eyes searching the forest to find a hideout to hide but the forest was bare and stretched out into the dark with no place to hide. If even she hid at that moment, they would sniff her out.
With her thoughts running wild and her mind in disarray; she didn’t see the roots of the tree in front of her that had stretched out his roots all over the place. She tripped over it in less than a second and fell heavily on her stomach. Sending her palm to her mouth to muffle whatever sound her mouth would make; she screamed internally in her head. Her mouth moved as silently as possible as she chanted the invisibility spell.
She groaned while trying to seat up and leaned her back against the tree trunk watching as the huge wolves that had been chasing her come to a stop few meters away from her. Groaning as silently as possible, while groping her stomach; she watched as the wolves morphed back into tall guards wearing the same outfits. Dresses that she was more than familiar with, they were royal guards.
“Where’s she?” one of them asked looking around.
“I could still smell her a few minutes ago” another one replied.
“And now I can’t smell her at all” he added as they looked around.
“She has not been the Chief Priestess for so long if she could be caught so easily” the first guard that had spoken first said again.
“She obviously has some tricks up to her sleeves. She’s not far away. We need to catch her before sunrise and return to the pack” he added as he turned to one of them.
“Send the signal and have the guards spread out in the forest. We must find her; this is our territory, she ant outsmart us” he declared as the other one nodded and released a flare into the sky. They nodded at each other bursting into races while picking different directions to find her.
She sighed softly, she knew that her strength was almost gone and the invisibility spell would soon lose it efficacy. She froze as she felt something on the palm she had used to support her stomach. With quivering lips, she brought her palm to her eyes and seeing the red bloodied palm; she looked in between her legs and as expected, there was a pool of blood already forming in between her legs.
She didn’t think out before letting out a scream…….
Arya sat up on her bed and meeting the familiar purple painted walls; she sighed softly while rubbing her eyes and using the other hand to comb her hair backwards. For someone who enjoyed life as much as she did; having dreams about parties, having a dream about hanging out with her parents, sneaking out of school wouldn’t come as a surprise to her at all.
But for the past two weeks, she had been having the same dream over and over again and it dream kept stopping at the same place every single time.
For a start it was a weird dream; this was the twenty first century; how could anything like wolves morphing humans, humans morphing into wolves exist? Not to talk of magic. These things only happened in movies and in the novels, they were just fictional and expressions of someone’s wild imaginations.
Arya didn’t remember watching any supernatural movie or reading a book that depicted events like that for her to have a dream like that and for two weeks straight was something that she couldn’t wrap her head around at all. She pushed the blankets covering the lower half of her body aside as she got out of bed.
Having a dream like that was one, having the same dream for two weeks straight was something else and the that the dream felt way too real was another thing. She wore her flip flops while making her way to her bathroom. She pushed the door open allowing her in while staring at herself in the vanity mirror.
A girl with an oval face with small nose and slightly huge eyes stared back at her. She bent and put on some paste on her toothbrush as she started brushing her teeth. Her heart shaped lips moved haphazardly as she brushed her teeth.
“Arya!” someone yelled and Arya quickly spat out the foam in her mouth washing her mouth and her face while returning her toothbrush to its usual spot. She walked out of the bathroom back into the purple themed room and then out of the room whistling to a tune of a song that she couldn’t even remember as she walked down the stairs.
There was a woman dressed in an impeccable suit and her hair was tied up with a Chinese hairpin holding her hair together. Her pointed nose has a rimless glasses resting on it while she scrolled through her phone.
“Good morning Mom” Arya greeted closing the distance between them and dropping a kiss on her cheeks. The woman was quick to drop her phone as she turned to her daughter and smiled at her.
“Did you just wake up?” she asked while Arya pulled out one of the chairs plastering her butt on the chair.
“Yes. I’m starving” Arya replied yawning quietly.
“The maids are almost done with the food. You can have your food and then have Barth drop you off at school” her mom replied while Arya nodded her head.
“Where’s Dad?” Arya asked.
“He had an emergency surgery so he had to leave quite early” her mom replied pushing her glasses up her nose while Arya furrowed her brows.
“Didn’t you say you would get another pair of glasses last week?” Arya asked and the woman seated opposite her laughed lightly.
“I’ll get it today” she replied, an indulging smile on her face.
Everyone who had met Arya and her parents always had one question?
Are they your parents?
And Arya didn’t blame them for asking such questions. Her parents and her were nothing alike. Her mom was a beautiful woman in her late thirties and had this face that many wouldn’t easily notice but on closer inspection you would realize that she was a really beautiful woman. She was just like that a soft and quiet beauty. Despite the fact that she had to use a pair of glasses to see clearly, it didn’t diminish her beauty at all and in a way gave her a refined look.
Her Dad as well had the same temperament, he was quiet and gentle and that was why Arya had always gotten away with whatever she had done right form when she was little. All she had to do was to hug his legs or cry in his neck, whatever punishment had been melted on her would be dispelled the very minute.
Arya on the other hand was a beauty that no one would easily miss. She had huge eyes that were as attractive as her face and mouth. Her overall look was a sharp contrast to her mom’s solemn look and her father’s quiet stance. Her parents were handsome and beautiful in their own rights but it always came as shock to everyone who met that they had birthed a child like Arya.
Arya herself had once questioned if they were her real parents. She had made a DNA test in secret and that had proved that they were her real parents. There were pictures of her mother been pregnant, there were baby pictures of her all to her current age. Arya was fast to adapt to the fact that she didn’t look like her parents, after all not all children kids looked like their parents.
Whether she looked like them or not, Arya didn’t care. She loved her parents to death; the way they loved her to the high heavens. There was nothing she asked for that wasn’t provided for her on a golden plate. They provided her a lifestyle that she could enjoy herself to the fullest without any worries in the world at all.
“Instead of using some old Chinese ancient hair pin, not just buy fancy cliffs to pack your hair. You realize that you look like some woman from the Qing dynasty when you wear that” Arya pointed out and both women burst into laughter.
“Arya, you will not make jest of my precious hairpins. Do you know how much they are worth?” her mom asked wearing a mock serious face with Arya jumping to her feet and bowing her head.
“I’m sorry you Majesty” Arya replied and both women burst into laughter again.
After making rounds and checking everywhere of the pack, Arya's mind was at ease at how she was welcomed amidst them all. She smiled to herself as she laid back on the bed, thinking about the little kids she saw and how happy they were when they saw Alston.Once she thought a world like this never existed, until the world turned out to be hers and she kept on enjoying it. She smiled in her pajamas, rolling back and forth with a lot of thoughts going on in her head.“Arya…. I’m ready.” Alston called out as he walked out of the bathroom.They were going to her house to pack her clothes, if not, she would soon be walking naked in the pack.“You know, I can just keep on wearing your clothes, we don’t have to do this.” Arya called out.“We’ll, we have to. The way you’re stealing my clothes is now quite alarming.” He replied to her, rolling his eyes at her as he walked out of the room.Arya fumbled out of the bed, muttering some incoherent words to herself as she stomped her foot on the flo
“Aren’t you ready?” Alston called out for the umpteenth time.After proposing to Arya and alerting the whole pack about it. Arya had begged him to release the elders since they didn’t know anything about it but not after giving them an earful of instructions. The priestess that were involved in mapping out her mothers death were demoted, stripping them off their titles and making them ordinary maids of the pack while the others were also released.Mrs jenkins and mr jenkins moved back to the human world. Mrs Jenkins was never a fan of being confined to a single pack, and so left immediately after giving Alston a handful of instructions.Alston wanted to take Arya through the pack, show her every nook and cranny of it and yet she was taking the whole day to dress up, or the maids were doing so.“I’m done.” He heard her say as he turned his back to look at her.His eyes roamed her body, his wolf growling underneath him as he begged to rip that dress off her. Even though he proposed and
Arya and Camilla walked a lot of miles through the pack, things were still bubbly, probably because they just left the square not too long ago, Camilla said. Taking her to different places in the pack, and showing her different things of their pack, Arya enjoyed the walk that she didn’t want to leave, and yet her sole purpose of walking still became a void in her heart.By the time they returned home, everywhere was dark already, and eerily silent.“The alpha asked you to sleep in his room, I’ll lead you there.” Camilla said, bowing as she walked in front.Arya smiled to herself, following her gently and quietly as they arrived at the front of a big room.“Good night, your highness.” She said, walking away fast as she could before Arya could even say anything.Arya shrugged her shoulders as she opened the room, her eyes dazed at the sight in front of her. She smiled at the thought of the flowers Alston brought to her the other day, so he was a keeper of flowers himself.“He must have
After his parents death, he never gave up on finding the real killer, having a whole lot of things to do to them and has mapped out for them, and now finding who they are, his head was nothing but a blank page, filled with hurt and emptiness.“Throw her in the fire! Throw her in the fire!” The people of the pack yelled out, making him clench his jaw.They never did the fire killing, they never killed people with fire in the pack. But since they found it as a nice option to kill his mate, he had helped them, while they had to take the first death, it has become something he was going to take up.“Your highness, please, please. Do not do this! This isn’t a wise choice.”She pleaded on top of her voice, tears dropping down her face and falling like the ocean.“Please. Please!”She continued to plead.Alston signaled to the guards,‘matching forward as they dragged her towards the fire, her wails and screams echoing through the area. One of the children of the murdered priestess entered th
The guards pulled each and every of the priestesses and elders out, not minding the way they handled them because that was the instruction the alpha had given them, bringing them out without caring whatsoever. It was Zachariah and one other guard that matched to where ashlynn was placed and brought her out.The bell had been rung for all the pack to know that there was an emergency already, all of them hurrying towards the square and forming a circle, waiting for anything that was to come.The elders and priestess were thrown in the middle of the circle as they brought them out one after the other. Alston appeared after a while, he had sent a guard to Mrs jenkins and mr jenkins, asking them to come to the square if they could come but also not leaving Arya alone in the house.“The reason why we called this meeting here is because the real perpetrator has been caught and now we can all fully rest and be fully aware that my mate is not the child of prophecy. And everything you’ve been t
“Where’s.. wheres.. the alpha.. I.. I..need..” the priestess stuttered, mustering all her energy to say the words that came out of her mouth.“I’ll advise you to save the energy for when he gets back and rest well now. A whole lot of things are happening in this pack that we don’t know yet.” The pack doctor replied, walking away from her as he rolled his eyes.The priestess raised her hand, trying to call him back but he was long gone.•••••••••Zachariah continued to delve into the forest, following the scent of Alston he had for himself to trace him. His pace increased as he felt himself closing in on him, not minding the paths he passed through as he kept jumping on each of the branches.He saw Alston wolf from afar, standing all alone and lonely at the poisoned river. He reduced his pace, walking to him slowly with fear thumping on his heart.“Your highness.” He called out as he shifted to his human form.Alston did not bother to reply to him even though he heard him, staring deep
“Don’t you want to know about it? What you’ve always wanted to know all this while? Don’t you want to know about it now?” Sabrina questioned with a smirk at the corner of her lips.Alston clenched his jaw as he stared at her, wondering if he should believe her or not. His eyes focusing on her at the same time with gritted teeth,“And what would you know about it? Except you’re the killer, which I for some reason, won’t believe you.” Alston said, scanning her and every of her reactions.“You have so much faith in me, your highness.” Sabrina retorted with a small smile.“I was the one who poisoned them, not because I wished to, but because they deserved it.” She added, falling back to her butt as Alston stood there, shock evident on his face as he stared at her.All this while, all this time, he had known his parents death wasn’t natural and someone had to be behind it, almost saying it with the priestess when the killer was right amongst them, sitting there and acting as their leader.
“Miss me?” Samantha asked with a growl as she walked down to meet Alston.“Find Zachariah and you’ll find Alston. I have more pending matters to deal with now.” He added.Two guards dragged ashlynn towards him as he scanned the crowd.He looked at the floor for the stabbed priestess but she has been dragged away already. All he could hope for was that nothing should happen to her.“Throw her into the deepest cell. The deepest cell where nothing can work, either her claws or powers. We’ll await the recovery of the other priestess to know what’s happening.” He said to the guards.“And I want each and every of the elders thrown into the cell, each and every of the priestess thrown into the cell.” He added as he stormed away.He walked yo where his mother was seated on, looking as brutally beaten than he could ever imagine. Yet her lips curled up as she saw him,“Get me the pack doctor!” He yelled out.“He’s treating the other woman!”Clenching his jaw, he carried her angrily and turned t
“And to what do we owe this honor our honorable alpha that leaves his pack for almost a week and is coming back now?” Sabrina asked as she approached him.Alston eyed her before walking to where Arya was placed, noticing she had fainted out of what they’ve done to her as a growl slipped his mouth. All of them whined slowly, bowing down to him till when he stopped growling.“Who did this!” He yelled out.When no one answered, all of them looked at each other without saying anything. He clenched his jaw, gritting his teeth as he tried to bolt his anger in him.“I said, who did this!” He growled out again.“I did it your highness, and the elders were in support of it. She walked..”“And who gave you the permission to do that! The beta! My mother or who!” He growled out again.Sabrina gulped down in fear, taking some steps back away from Alston who kept on approaching her.“All the priestesses and elders would be punished greatly for this!” He shouted at all of their hearings.“And you ha
