Cilla’s POVI spent the next few days thinking about Rose and Ren, wondering how they were doing. Seeing Dalia and Malia Frey everyday was always a reminder that the other twins I knew were suffering. They were not lucky enough to have a caring person take care of them. Sometimes, I found myself taking out my frustration on the little girls, especially when they drove me up the wall. Whenever my anger became too much, I would go to the garden and try to cool off.I tried getting to Raven but she was gone. I went to her house almost every day but I never saw her anywhere. Either she had used some spell to make herself invisible or she had gone on a visit somewhere. I could only hope that she had gone to Oakwood pack. It did not seem likely since she had not seemed exited by the idea but I had to cling on to some kind of hope in order to remain sane. When more days passed and there was no sign of raven, I began to fear the worst. I started planning an escape. Not knowing anything was k
Every day after my shift, I left the main house through the back door and used a route in the flower garden to get to the building I resided in. Usually, there was no one in that place, but occasionally id meet a couple chatting or walking around while holding hands. On my day of escape, I was unlucky because I ran into Jardon. I had planned to branch off the flower garden and head to the woods instead of taking the path that led to our building.“Look, who we have here.” He said, coming to stand in front of me. I had no option but to stop walking because he was blocking my way.“What do you want, sir?” I inquired.“You,” he said, touching my cheek with his cold hand. I resisted the urge to push it away. Jardon looked really strong and I was not seeking to get killed. “I’m sorry sir but I have to go. My shift is over and I would like to rest.”“Why are you so arrogant? I’m the one in charge here and I will decent when you leave. I have been wanting you for so long.”I was beginning
Nia’s companions returned an hour later. There was a middle aged man called Mason, and two younger men who seemed to be in their twenties. One was a witch who had allegedly cast an invisibility spell over their homestead so no one could find them. As I ate some of the meat they had brought and roasted, I listened to their conversation. “If this is she then we are going to get some good money from Blackmoon,” the witch said.“Why?” Mason asked him.“She’s the one I told you about, the one who wouldn’t get sold back. Apparently the alpha of blackmoon asked to buy her back from Vincent Frey but he refused to sell her back because she was taking such good care of his daughters.”What? Had alpha Ridian really tried to buy me back?Nia glanced at me. “So she is quite the special one then. It seems we have struck gold. Can you send a message to your witch to make a negotiation?”The boy nodded. “Kaden lives in Ashland pack which is next to Blackmoon. I will draft a message and send him.”“W
The delicious smell of freshly made breakfast became stronger as time went on. Soon, two familiar young women who worked as maids brought in a food trolley. They set the table and invited us to have breakfast. It was nice, being treated like a guest. I decided to enjoy it while it lasted. I knew that within a few hours, I would be back to slaving away either in Blackmoon or whichever pack accepted to trade with the rogues. Given how well my captors were being treated, I had a feeling that I was going to stay at Blackmoon. Thirty minutes later, Marlon and Ridian walked into the house. My heart did a backflip when I sensed him in the vicinity. The air seemed to be getting hotter for me and I couldn’t breathe well with him so near. I could almost feel him. “Good morning,” he said.Everyone responded at the same time. My answer was so low that I doubt anyone heard it.“Let’s talk in the living room,” Ridian said as he walked past the dining table. As if on cue, my captors stood up, push
After getting to my room, Cara decided to return back to the main house while I took care of myself. Since I had not been assigned any duties, I decided to get some sleep after taking a shower. It was after I lay down that I realized just how tired my body was. My brain was so exhausted that only a few minutes later, I had slept off. When I woke up, there was a plate of food and a cup of juice on the table. My stomach immediately growled and saliva increased in my mouth. I sat up, and stretched before standing up. Stepping out, I went to the communal restroom and eased myself. When I returned, I dug in.The food was delicious, nothing like the trash I had been in that stupid pack run by Vincent and Mirabel Frey. The thought of those slaves made me shudder. And to think that I could have ended up being one of them. I was glad the rogues had got me first. I didn’t think Vincent would have forgiven me and put in back in charge of his daughters. He’d probably have sent me to work with th
Ridian’s POVThe crowd cheered loudly as the fight ended. The smaller man had won. Roger Bundog yelled into his megaphone as he went to the ring and lifted Joe Slater’s hand. Behind them Danny Munther struggled to stand up. He didn’t look to happy after being defeated by the smaller man he had vowed to crush. He tried to lunge at Joe but he moved just in time for the big man to fall on his face. Loud, mocking laughter filled the air as Joe and Roger moved out of the ring, leaving the defeated man alone. “That ol’ Danny finally got someone to beat his ass,” John Delvey said. He was a beta from a nearby pack.“That was great to watch,” I told him. “It was great seeing that man getting beaten finally. His arrogance was getting out of hand.”“Tell me about it,” Nigel Thomas from Redmoon pack joined in on the conversation. He placed both hands on his hand and used them to brush his hair back. “I didn’t think this skinny Joe had it in him. He has never dared to fight such a big guy before
Cilla’s POVWhen Elizabeth Jamison returned to her house that day, everything was spotless. I watched her as she walked through the door, looking around the room in what seemed like surprise. I was seated on the couch, which was also something she did not expect. Her little brat was also on the couch fixated on the television. When she heard the door open, she leapt up and went to hug her mother.“What is going on?” Mrs. Jamison asked me.“What do you mean?” I asked innocently. Standing up, I faced her. “I have done my job and now that you’re back, I think it’s time for me to leave.”She shook her head. “Wait up, why where you sitting on the couch like you own the house?”“Where did you want me to sit after I finished my work? I may be a slave but I’m human as well. You can’t expect me to stand all day.”“Never sit there again,” Mrs. Jamison stated.“Mommy,” the little girl began and I rolled my eyes. This was it. Glancing at Mrs. Jamison, I started to feel a bit nervous. This woman m
Cilla’s POVMy body was shaking and my knees had become so weak I was worried they wouldn’t be able to support my weight for long. I realized all he had on was a towel wrapped around his waist. His body was touching mine and burning it. His hands moved over my tiny belly and I felt butterflies dancing inside my stomach. Some centimeters below, my core was on fire and I could feel the wetness pooling in on my panty. Ridian lowered his head and kissed my neck. I bit back a moan as my head fell to one side so I could give him more access. His tongue worked like magic on my skin, lighting fires on every spot it touched.I was ready to surrender everything to him. Suddenly, he moved back and a wave of disappointment washed over me.“Strip,” he said.I glanced back and saw him staring at me. His green eyes were glazed and he looked even more attractive than I had ever seen him.I turned and took a few breaths before unbuttoning the top part of my uniform dress. My hands were trembling as
Cilla.One week later, we assembled the whole of Moonshine pack. We had speeches from both sides and the last speech was Ridian’s. When he made the announcement that Sasha Miller would lead the pack, the crowd erupted in cheers. “Please come forward,” Ridian asked Sasha who seemed so shocked by the announcement she couldn’t move for a while. Eventually, she strode forward in a responsible fashion and the crowd roared once me. I scanned the gathering and found alpha Aragon in tears. He seemed to be very happy that his daughter was going to be in charge. “We have been observing this brilliant young woman for a while since she returned and we have decided that she is the best person to replace her father in the leadership of this pack,” Ridian continued. “We shall talk with the elders so we can have a coronation ceremony as soon as possible. Although your new luna will have to report to me, you’ll have more autonomy over yourselves. We believe she’s the best person to steer this pack to
CillaWaking up next to my lovelies was the best thing ever. I had slept through the morning. I woke up at 11 am and found Rose and Ren still asleep, their heads on each of my arms. My arms were hurting. When I tried to push them away so I could get up, they opened their eyes and tried to snuggle closer. I chuckled before speaking.“My hands hurt,” I said. They both moved away from them and sat up so I could bring my arms together. The action was painful but it was worth it. I had had the best sleep in a while and would do it a hundred times over. Knowing that Jane was dead and couldn’t hurt us was the icing on the cake.“How did you know where we were?” Rose asked.“I’m your big sister. I know everything.”“No, you don’t.” Rose said.“Seriously,” Ren said.I had noticed that Ren was growing faster, developing the snarky attitude of a teenager before his sister. Since I was now a parent, I had to learn patience and find a way of dealing with him without causing more problems.I told t
Ridian.“Rose! Ren!” Cilla yelled, while running around the forest with tears streaming down her face. I followed her, begging her to stop for a moment but she couldn’t. She continued running further and further from me. When she finally stopped, she dropped to the ground.“I can’t believe we did everything for nothing,” she said. “You were right. We shouldn’t have wasted time going to the prison. Why did I have to think of such a stupid plan? Now, Jane is dead and I’m the one suffering. What kind of stupid revenge is this? I messed up, Ridian. I’m so stupid.”“No, you’re not.” I told her. “We’re going to find them. I’m sure they’ve run off somewhere. Suddenly, I felt something hit me from the back. “Run, Cilla. I’ve been shot.”Cilla Rose and came behind me, pulling out the arrow quickly. We both turned instantly and started running. We ran until we were out of the forest. George and his human friend were also nowhere to be seen. “What is happening?” Cilla asked. When we got into a
Ridian.The children’s shelter was surrounded by a wall fence which we easily jumped over. The car remained outside the fence while Cilla and I went in, dressed in our ski masks, the driver waiting for our exit. The shelter had an office building and a boarding house where the children and youth resided in. from our online stalking, we had found out that it was one large hall divided in the middle. One side was for very young children and preteens while the other was for older teens. It was amazing how foolish humans were. How do you claim to be protecting children yet give out all the details about where they lived? It didn’t make sense at all.Ross and Ren were twelve, and that meant they were in the teens section. The website had stated that 11 and below were in the younger children section. This made things easy for us since the younger children had matrons sleeping in their side. The side with older teens had no adults. The guard at the gate was easily taken care of. Cilla had k
Ridian.The city was called Everdeen City. It took us about three hours to get there by car. When we reached, Cilla and I paid for a suite in a hotel while the warriors went to search for the location of the shelter and prison with the help of Google maps. Science and technology was making things really easy. We waited in out room anxiously for more information while watching the television for more updates. As expected, the police did not give out much information about the investigation. That was annoying. I felt like visiting her but I knew it would alert her on what we were planning to do. I wanted it to be a surprise to her. A few hours later, the men arrived and we were also taken to the place. We drove by the shelter and then the prison where Jane was being held as the police searched for information about the children. We decided we would carry out both operations at night. I found it hard to believe that Jane had been arrested by a human policeman and had failed to defend he
Ridian.It had been two days since Cilla started training with Brody and it was not sitting well with me. I knew that she wasn’t going to do anything with him. I think I was more annoyed by the fact that she had opted to ask him to train her and not me. I was so much better than Brody in everything. It hurt me that she opted to ask him, as if she trusted him more than me. I tried to distract myself with other things but it was hard to stop thinking about the fact that they were both training together. When we were together, everything was mechanical. We did almost everything together and even slept on the same bed but we failed to connect like before. Cilla spent most of her attention on her phone and I ended up doing the same. We were like two strangers living in the same house. Cilla was so depressed that I barely knew what to do with her. I tried to help her but she never seemed receptive or interested in fixing the issues that were bothering us.The only good thing happening was
Jane.Tom was a lanky young man. He was very tall but quite thin. He had a beautiful sweet face and a very nice smile. The first time he smiled at me, I felt my insides warm up. His house was quite messy as it looked like a party of druggies had just ended. The house reeked of smoke and alcohol. It was no place for children but I had nowhere else to take them. While the kids were still unconscious, I quickly tried to clean the house, not for their sake but for mine as well. I didn’t think I’d feel comfortable staying in such a dirty place. If Rody had told me Tom was a mess, I’d have found another place. Tom was watching me as I worked and since I was wearing very short shorts, I decided to give him a good view. I needed him on my side. People are fickle about kids, even bad people. Anyone who wants kids to suffer is a monster that’s beyond saving. There are not many people like that. There was a chance that tom was not like that. I had noted his reaction when he saw me getting them
RidianWhen Cilla settled into bed next to me, I felt tempted to reach over and pull her close but was somehow able to resist the temptation. I was tired of fixing things. If she wanted the silent treatment, I would give it to her. After all, she was the one who barely showed any happiness after knowing that I was back home. I was beginning to think that she wanted me gone. But hell, that was my pack. There was no way I would abandon it for long. If she didn’t want to see my face, she could leave. I could survive without her, after all.Before she came into the room, I had been about to sleep but now that she was lying right next to me, it was almost impossible to get any sleep, especially since a certain part of my body had decided not to listen to the rational thoughts coming from my mind. It wanted what it wanted and not even my stubbornness was going to stop it. I decided to wait it out since I didn’t want to cave and be the one to make the first move. I was pretty sure Cilla wasn
Cilla.Defeating the rogues made me feel pretty good about myself. I realized the need for me to train more after that attack. Having realized that Ridian would not always be there to protect me and the pack, it was time for me to better my skills incase stronger enemies decided to attack us. I was very happy with what I had achieved but knew there was need for me to do more.Kenny tried to punch my arm but I expertly dodged it and punched him in the chest instead. I had realized that he was trying to go easy on me and was trying to …him so he could fight back and we’d have a better training. As much as I tried he never budged so I started thinking of getting a new trainer. “Call Brody,” I told Kenny as I went to sit under a tree and drank some water. Kenny concentrated and linked to Brody. I didn’t hear what he was seeing since he was speaking through his mind. Eventually, he came up to where I was.“Are you sure about this?” he asked. “Mr. Jamison is said to be pretty rough on the
