Alston changed his clothes in his penthouse, coming out back to meet the maids outside talking again. His eyes scanned for the one that served him the other day, not seeing her there, he knew immediately it was his mothers work.And the other maid that had brought her mother was just fumbling when her mother really didn’t find anything, according to what her mother said too.“Your highness.” They all bowed and greeted each other.Giving them a quick nod, he walked out of the house, going straight to the pack field again. Zachariah was there with 10 other warriors, conversing God knows what between each other.“Your highness.” They all greeted each other.He nodded at them again, scanning each and everyone of them one after the other.“You don’t need the pads. Change into something more comfortable.” He said to one of them.The warrior bowed before scurrying off, leaving Alston to continue scanning the rest of them. After making sure they could blend in with the human world, they await
After hitting him to his satisfaction, he stood up, leaving him to the floor bloodied and walking away. He clenched his jaw, finding somewhere to wash his hand. Anger still brewed in him as he walked around looking for somewhere to wash his hands.He came across a student as he walked back,“Where can I get water?” He asked, panting heavily.The girl gulped down, her eyes in shock as she stared at his hand.“Oh..O…ove…over the..” she stuttered, her eyes still on his fist as she pointed in the right direction.Alston's eyes darted to the place, seeing a tap there before walking away from the girl. He rushed over there, washing his hand as fast as he could, wiping all the blood away before walking back to where the rest of his pack were.“Where did you go?” Zachariah was the first to ask.“I went to settle scores with someone.” He replied.“You beat him up that you have blood on your cloth?” Zachariah asked, his brows furrowed as he looked at Alston.Looking at his cloth, Alston flexed
Night came faster than Zachariah expected and soon, he was in front of Alston penthouse as he had explained to him with nothing but a shirt and a trouser.“Why are you dressed this way?” Alston asked as he came out from the bathroom.“What! What are you expecting me to wear?”“Haven’t you seen the way humans act?“ Alston asked with raised brow.“I’m a wolf…”“And a human..” Alston said.“You’ll be acting as our chauffeur today, our driver. The least you can do is act as one. Wear a well tailored suit, and dress well. Not just wear this and act like a piece of crap.” Alston eyed him, taking a school bag and draping it over his shoulder.“Thank Goddess I knew you could act this way, I got you one. So when we get to the border, we’ll change before we leave to pick her up.” Alston added.He jumped out through his window, Zachariah sighing before jumping with him. They walked in their human form towards the border. Crossing it as a car awaited them in front of it.“Now we change.” Alston s
The date moved faster than Alston expected, and soon they were driving back home with Zachariah seated at the front and both Alston and Arya at the back. It was starting to hit the curfew time that Mrs Jenkins had said to him for Arya to get home and he didn’t want to disobey her rules.“Did you enjoy yourself?” Alston muttered as he worked his hand on hers.“Yeah. It was fun. And very nice.” Arya replied, scratching her head on his chest.“That’s good. We should go on another one another time. This time, I’ll get you an artist to prepare your needs and all.” Alston said.Arya had complained that it took her time to finish all of it on her own, leading her to bring the suggestion of and artist up, which Alston has also agreed on without questioning her.“Thank you. You’re the best.” She added.His hand patted her back slowly, moving up and down while Zachariah kept on hearing all of their conversations with disgust on his face. First, he couldn’t believe Alston had turned into this an
Alston and Zachariah returned to the pack, a new wave of energy bubbling inside of Alston.“Good night.” He said to Zachariah, shifting to his wolf form and running towards his penthouse.Now he was going to be able to feel everything of her, when she’s in pain, happy, laughing. He was finally going to be able to do that. His lips curled up as he got to the entrance of his penthouse, knocking on the door as a foreboding feeling washed over him. Why does it look like something was about to happen?The guards opened the door and he saw his mother pacing back and forth in the room.“Mother..” he called out with scrunched brows.She turned to him with a worried expression, making the lines on his forehead cut deeper as he rushed to her. Enveloping her into a hug, the both of them stayed like that for a while before he finally walked her to a chair.“What’s wrong?” He asked.“Nothing. Nothing.” She replied almost immediately, refusing to seat down as she hugged him again.Alston lips curle
“Baby..” Mrs Jenkins called out as she walked into Aryas room.She has spent all night thinking about what had happened to Arya last night and what was said to her but couldn’t get what she wanted out of it all. Her husband talked to her yesternight, telling her she couldn’t control it if something intended to happen or if something didn’t.“Go away..” Arya interrupted her thoughts.“Arya..” she called out again as she walked to her, standing beside her bed as Arya looked in the mirror.“I really don’t want to talk this morning.” Arya cut her off again.“I know.. I know..” Mrs jenkins started, her hand going through her hair as she rubbed her elbow.“I know I shouldn’t have done that.. I’ve just been so scared about it.. about all of it.. why has he been so caring..““…you didn’t think about him just being so caring.. but always thinking it to be like he was just that as a bad person.” Arya said, scrunching her brows after her statement.“I know. I know. I know I should have thought o
“We have to go.” Alston said for the umpteenth time to Zachariah.“And why exactly do you need me this early morning?”“It’s almost afternoon, Zachariah.” Alston cut him off.“Yeah. That’s it. It’s almost afternoon. All the pack is on alert now, if they see us leaving the pack, we’ll be doomed.”“We can’t be. Is this the first time we’ve been sneaking out? And I just feel it, she’s in pain..”“Or she’s just sad..” Zachariah cut him off.Alston sighed as he stood up from his chair and walked towards the door.“If you’re not going, you can stay here and watch over the pack. I’ll go check on her, I’ve forgotten..” Alston said, opening the door, his hand on the knob and his head slightly tilted towards Zachariah.“She’s not your mate. She’s mine.” He finished before dashing out.Zachariah sighed before moving towards the door, shifting to his wolf form and rushing to meet Alston.“Your highness..” one of the guards called out.“Not now.” Alston growled at him before dashing away.Zacharia
“What’s going on?” Alston questioned with his eyes glancing at the circle they’ve all formed.“How about you tell us that? Because we’re here in the dark, and now you’re just there.. so please tell us…” one of the pack elders said again, his brows raised as he stared at Alston.“Armani, what’s going on?” Alston asked and moved towards him.“That’s exactly what we need to know your highness. What have you been looking for and going to do in the human world without any of our consent?” Sabrina stated, moving out of her line and walking towards Alston.Alston's heart sank as he heard this but did his best not to let his emotions show. They couldn’t know, they would never know.“Your highness?” Sabrina called out again.“Are you questioning me?” Alston turned the tables.“Nope. I’m just trying to get an answer that most of us want now. You did not take the other guards with you, you were not searching. So why were you in the human world?” She questioned again.“Because I’m the alpha and I
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
