“Shhhhh.” Mr Jenkins said to Mrs Jenkins as they both peeped from up the stairs.
Mrs Jenkins clenched her fist. Arya was kissing Alston, and they both were not even discreet about it.“Can’t you see he likes her? What more do you want?” Mr Jenkins questioned her.“What if he’s just toying with her and he’ll get her to submit to the pack after? Have you thought about that?” She retorted.Arya pulled her lips from Alston and buried her head on his neck. Her neck was a shade of pink, obviously embarrassed by the long deep kiss they shared. Alston could hear every bit of the conversation her mother and father were making. They were not even trying to be discreet at all, or lower their voices down in case they heard them.“Can you hear?” He whispered in her ears making Arya recoil from his touch.His voice in her ears sent shivers down her spine as she clenched her thighs immediately.“I can. That’s how shameless theyAlston got to the pack back and dashed into his penthouse, peeling the clothes off his body and slumping to the bed. He was known to be very powerful, hot headed and very brutal, but he couldn’t even find it in himself to be all of that. His mind went back to the passionate kiss he and Arya shared, making his lips curl as he rolled to the other side of the bed. Her lips tasted like strawberries, and they were very soft. He hadn’t kissed a lot of lips but he could say as far as he had kissed, hers was still the best of all. A sigh escaped his lips as the thought of what they were going through sipped into his mind again. For the two month that he has been going in and out with her, he was particularly sure that there was nothing about her being a devil child or having something about her. She was normal, he was sure she might not be a wolf like all of them because she hadn’t shown the signs. Apart from her hearing to be so good, every other thing is different.
Alston tried so hard to mask it like he did not know before but he was having a great deal to do it. His jaw hardened, closing his eyes for a split second before opening it again. “What did you just say?” His voice came out as a whisper. “She’s your mate. The late chief priestess daughter is your mate. She’s to be the Luna of this pack.” Sabrina called out again. “The God of the lands forbids this. She can never be the Luna of your pack!” One of the priestess yelled out. “I didn’t ask you for your permission to talk!” Alston yelled back at the priestess, his eyes glowing in red already. He took deep breaths upon each other, the priestess relaxing in their chair and muffling their breathing so as not to anger him. “If she’s my mate, what does it have to do with the pack! Are you telling me that you’ll kill my mate just because she…” “You cannot be with her mu highness. She’s evil, wild and the daughter of a chief
Alston's eyes fluttered awake the next morning, a yawn escaping his lips before finally opening his eyes. He sat on the bed, stretching his arms sideways before a deep sigh escaped his lips. He had slept last night thinking of how and what to do about the Arya issue, about the priestess issue and about all of it now that they know they’re mates. But still he couldn’t come to one decision, he couldn’t come to something he’ll want to do about it.Getting off the bed, his feet moved towards the bathroom, taking a quick bath before returning and putting some clothes on. His eyes dropped at the sight of his messy wardrobe but he closed it back. He would call a maid to come and handle that, he had no time for this.A knock interrupted his thoughts, making him glance at the door.“Come in.” He said before the door opened and Zachariah's head peeped inside.“Good morning, your highness.” He greeted, lowering his head as a form of respect.“How is she?” Alston asked immediately.“She’s fine. I
Alston was not nearly as shocked as the elder had wished he could be. He knew this already, he knew how much he loves new news, especially when it comes to the well-being of the alpha that most of them haven't seen in their whole life. And he knew how much and how far they’ll go to get any news from the elders and priestess.“Since that is settled, I believe you don’t have any more reasons for staying.” Alston looked up again and said to the elders face.“Your highness, “ elder Blake stated.“You heard me, leave is the only word I can use for you all so please do.” He added, depriving them of a look as they all stood up, dragging their feets off the chair.“Most of the pack and the other people think you’ve done something bad and punishable for the moon goddess to give you s mate like this after how many years of waiting, five years?” He heard elder Blake say.He clenched his jaw, gritting his teeth silently as he listened. He would have loved to show him, to tell him that his mate wa
“Who told you about this?” Alston questioned the little boy.“My mum and her friends have been saying it and they said something would happen to us if she becomes the queen, can you not mate with her?” The little boy pleaded, pouting his lips at Alston.Alston sighed and raised his hand up to shuffle the boy's head. He had no idea what to say.“Let me tell you a secret. It would be between you and me okay, no telling anyone, alright?”The little boy nodded vigorously as Alston leaned onto his ears. After whispering some words to him, the boy's face lit up, taking one of his fingers and placing it on his lips. Alston patted his shoulder and got back on his feet, turning away from the boy with an unsettling depth of trouble in him. He needed to call them, they should stop saying nonsense to their kids.*********“Why did you block your connection?” Alston almost growled at Zachariah as they got to the field.“I didn’t. I was just too busy, I’m sorry your highness.” He hurriedly begged
“Who is there?” A happy Arya bounced to the door, opening it even without hearing any reply from the other side only for her face to fall out and leave it open while she entered the house back.“Why isn’t he coming?“ she grumbled under net breath.“I’m sorry. The pack is hot now, there’s no way he can leave you but he sent his best regards.” He replied, dropping the nylon bag of the freshly scented sweets that she liked to eat according to Alston. Arya eyed the package, another bribing method, she thought to herself and picked it up.“This can’t work all the time. Tell him I want to see him tomorrow, he should clear his time and come to see me.” She pitted as her face went into the sweets.“Alright, my lady.” Zachariah bowed to her command and stood behind her, not moving an inch.His thoughts went back to the first day he saw her, at the window, looking so vulnerable and pitiful, her eyes so red, signifying how much she had been crying. And now things have moved pretty fast, that jer
“Then you told her everything?” Alston asked again.“Yes…” he lowered his head before raising it again.“The delivery man said I should give you this. Seems you have letters from the other packs.” Zachariah raised a brow as he placed it on the table.“They know already. All of them. This is the second I’m getting today.” He said.A knock interrupted them, “and that might be the third.” He pressed his lips together as his veins popped on his head.“Come in.” Zachariah replied and the delivery man came in just like he had predicted.“Another one your highness.” He said.Alston nodded at him as Zachariah took him from his hands before the man walked out. He opened the first one that Zachariah had passed him with an expectant face, his eyes were bored, as if he was going to see the same thing.“You must have offended the goddess to bless you with a disaster like this.” The first one read.Squeezing it in his hands and throwing it into the dustbin, he broke the patch of the next one to se
“He has not been doing anything really. After the revelation of the priestess, his mind and body, including his wolf, had been so disturbed and all he’s doing now is aiming to find the girl.” Zachariah rambled.“And the incessant letters from the alpha of the other packs are not making it any better.” Zachariah added as he looked elsewhere, slowly sipping his tea.“You don’t say something without the intention of saying it out loud. What letters had he been receiving?” She asked, dropping her cup and propping her hand to the table as she stared at him.“He thinks we have someone giving them information outside there, like a spy, and they all seem to know about the revelation so quickly. So he has been busy with that.” Zachariah added.“I was sent on an errand before your maid dragged me here, may I leave now your grace.” He asked as he lowered his head.“I’ll be joining you with him, wait for me.” She replied, standing up and walking back up to the stairs.Zachariah did not know when
