THE COVEN. " Celebrate? River is still standing. No single soul of the Herves name should be remaining in the same space that we are." The woman with the lush eyes said and the other witches immediately nodded." What do we do about Alpha Torres?" " Leave him to the fate we placed in his hands. Not too surprising but he has quite a long life to live before I replaced it with the few amount i gave him. He'll suffer greatly before he dies, he doesn't seem to have any usefulness to us again." The veiled witch said." Really?" One of the witches asked with widened eyes. She was the only one whose hair was gray amongst the other witches who had thick, long black hair." Yes."" Then I can live." The witch immediately said, her eyes glinting with happiness and vengeance. " Then I can live to avenge my little Guria. Yes!" She grinned but the woman in the cloak only watched her." You may or may not live. It's up to you and your capabilities to decide. You'll have to do something before y
Estelle sighed when she saw the princess's gloomy face as she slowly entered the study and without even saying a word, she just left, leaving the Alpha and his little sister in there together.Alice's face was all red and very unlike her." Big brother, please stop. You don't have to do anything for my sake so please, leave Lair alone. None of this is his fault, his actions are well justified so please, don't punish or hate him again. I'll fall into a more deeper hole of guilt if you do that." She had said after a few moments of silence and even her tone was just bland and sad.She looked extremely tired and unknown to her, that fact alone was making the silver haired man more angry that his arm muscles twitched from time to time." Why did you accept the rejection?" The man only asked and she folded her lips inside her mouth in pain." I accepted because it's what right for me to do. I deserve everything, his rejection, his hate and all of the embarrassment, I deserve everything!"
" Melina and Connor." Marianne announced and the faces of the people who were mentioned lit up happily while the other helpers who were also vying for the position clapped for the chosen ones." Thank you so much, Madam Marianne." Melina bowed, a pretty smile on her face while Connor did the same." As you both can see, there were a lot of people wanting this position you've just been given so make sure to remember at all moments of your service the struggle you both had to go through before you were given this. Do not disappoint me!" Marianne's tone was totally stern and both nodded again." So Melina, your job starts now. You'll be the Luna's personal maid and by that, you'll have to handle whatever she eats, do and all of anything she needs while Connor will be the Luna's trainer for the few months that she needs to regain her lost strength back." Marianne said." By the way, you should be aware that the Luna might be quite harsh for a little while but I assure you she's one calm
HERVES PALACE. The Alpha's cup of tea sat gently on the royal golden table but then, a slim figure was seen sneaking into the sitting room and doing something to cup of tea before hurriedly leaving as came.Meanwhile, Neil and a few maids just arrived and took the Alpha's tea away to the courtroom where he had been working.And in the study where the Luna was busy working with her personal guard and trainer, Connor besides her, she let out a groan as she tiredly dropped her pen loudly on the table and massaged her neck." Are you okay, Luna?" Connor asked, concern on his face." Obviously, I'm not. This is way too much work, they only sympathize with me for the few moments that I'm heal but in the next minute, my table is filled!" She complained." By the way, you should leave. I'm fine by myself, you don't have to be lurking around me everytime. When training starts, I'll come and I'll call you anytime I need you." She faced him but he immediately looked reluctant and uncomfortable
As expected, Lord Diego faced the council and was judged, he was found guilty afterwards as no lie could save him this time.His position had been stripped off him and would be given to another deserving Lord.Kaileyn could be scene by the corner of the courtroom that day with red eyes as she cried her eyes out. She was also punished as she was found guilty for what she did to the Luna and her punishment was going to be decided later." I'll get back at her, I swear. I won't go easy on her." She had sworn that day in her heart as she stared at a blank faced Estelle who was almost silent all throughout the courtroom session.Weeks had passed, and things had been going normal for all of the pack members except their rulers. The Alpha and the Luna." Something's wrong." Estelle muttered, holding her head from fatigue and frustrations.It didn't seem to be normal anymore...what was happening inside this her marriage didn't seem to be normal anymore but she just couldn't pinpoint or pla
The woman only stared at Lair as he yelled and he frowned. Didn't she hear him?" I clearly heard you, Gamma." She said, now standing up and Lair could see as she shook and staggered before she regained her footings but she continued with her words. " But your way of talking to me is in no way the right manner to speak to the mother of your lover. That's disrespect." She added and Lair's eyes dimmed the more." M....other?" He stuttered and she let out a bored sigh." My Guria would have been alive if she didn't love you, my Vesper would have been alive and wouldn't have been slaughtered by that Alpha River if only she'd listened to my call and left you alone but that child of mine was stupidly blinded in love! That ugly love that had caused her death and will be causing mine too. Why couldn't you have just left my baby alone?" Guria yelled, glaring angrily at a speechless Lair.His adam's apple was only moving from time to time nervously as he was unable to say a word." What a
As Estelle went back inside after waving Neil and Naina goodbye, she frowned when she felt his presence behind her but regardless, she continued on her tracks and went inside." Estelle," she heard him call from behind her but she pretended like she didn't hear anything as she made to go upstairs but then, she felt the strong arms around her waist and she sighed." I really have a lot of work to do so if you don't mind, please leave me alone." She said in a very low tone and she heard him sigh again before his hands tightened the more around her waist." I'm sorry. I'm really very sorry, Estelle." He apologized but before she could say anything, he'd removed his grip from her waist and turned her around to face him but she angrily threw her face away." You're mad at me," he said, hurt in his eyes and she angrily faced him back." Mad at you? I don't deserve to? River, you told me right in the face that I am probably cheating on you with a mere trainer, a mere guard. Have I become
Neil looked enraged instead." You're embarrassing my mate, Mum. That's my mate right there, with my mark clearly on her neck so stop being so stubborn and unthinking about her feelings. You're embarrassing her." He said but Naina only wished he didn't talk because his mother was looking more angry by his retort." I do not care about that. I only care about you and what's good for you and that thing standing over there is definitely not for you. I found a suitable mate for you already and you'll leave this thing and–" Luna Lindsay was saying while her son made to interrupt her but she raised a finger." You won't say a word, you silly child. I won't allow that girl ruin you, not when I'm still breathing and alive. I won't let these two witches come inside my family and tear it apart. They are both shameless being, both shameless harlots!" Her voice raised.Naina saw the way Neil was holding himself back from doing anything stupid and she felt like rushing to him to hold him but th
The Alpha's gaze finally broke from her face and he stood in front of his mate but Estelle didn't let him, she jumped in front of Tabitha and grabbed a handful of her hair, pulling out a few.Luna Lindsay yelped and made to rush to her daughter but Estelle glared angrily at her, halting the older Luna on her tracks." River! Won't you stop your mate? Because Tabitha is back doesn't mean you're any innocent. You killed my daughter back then and instead of petting her on her return, you're letting her get mishandled?" Luna Lindsay yelled.Before the Alpha could reply, Neil stood in place of him. " Your daughter is not innocent either so let her just go back to whatever hole she's coming from!" He yelled but was answered with a deafening slap from his mother.“ Neil!” Naina gasped." Bastard!" She hissed and turned to glare at Estelle." Let go of my daughter!" " Not until she tells me why she killed my child!" Estelle yelled back at her.Silence ensued afterwards, the Alpha turned t
A YEAR LATER. " I don't just understand you! Acting stubborn and all hot-headed won't help you in any way! You rejected him? Are you serious now, Kaileyn?" Lair raged, yelling at the red head who only glared at him before moving away from him." Wow." Lair smirked at her actions. " We really are siblings. We're very good at rejecting our mates." He added.She nodded in support. " I'm glad you know. You started it so stop berating me already. I don't like it!" She shouted." I've told you I don't like him, I find him disgusting in every way and I'll be perfectly fine living my life without a mate. I don't need any man in my life to begin with, they all come with troubles and issues." She hissed again and Lair heaved a huge sigh.He didn't think he could tell the difference between Kaileyn and a goat, they were both the same. Stubborn and annoying.And now, she has rejected her mate. He wasn't of royal blood but still a strong, well-to-do gold merchant but Kaileyn hadn't even thought
" Meanwhile, I overheard their conversation and Lilith swore to kill me." Zora sniffled." They kidnapped me and tortured me for months before I finally had the chance to escape and I ran away. I left the werewolf realm totally so they wouldn't get me again. I was pregnant then and on reaching the human realm, I got into labor and I gave birth to a daughter who I lost." She turned to Naina whose eyes were as large as balls in shock." I was very happy when I found her. I stayed with her lazy ass for a while before Lilith got me again and ran me over with a car. I escaped again, running to another place so they wouldn't get a hold of me."" I only returned here when I heard about their misfortunes so I came back to my child." Zora finished and caressed Naina's face gently with tears in her eyes while the latter just kept staring at her without a word.There were murmurs of disbelief immediately as everyone stared at Marianne with disgusted faces." Does that mean Kaileyn belongs to
" Oh, you stupid Beta! You finally remembered me, I thought you all wouldn't be able to recognize my face again." She said, crying in-between." By the way, I heard you're my baby's mate. I really don't want someone like you for her, you skirt chaser." She added and Neil flushed but suddenly recalled something." Y... your baby?" He asked.Zora stared at Naina for a long time before nodding gently, placing a warm, lingering kiss on Naina's forehead." Yes, my baby." She nodded and that was when Naina slowly stepped away from her." Zora, what are you doing here? How did you reach here and how do you know Neil? Why are they calling you Geneva and what's the meaning of what you just said? Who's your baby? Did you fall and hit your head again, Zora?" Naina inquired.Her confusion increased the more as Zora only kept staring at her with just nothing but love in her eyes, it didn't even seem like she heard all of Naina's questions.Neil couldn't believe it but now, everything was clear t
MOON-VALLEY PACK. Estelle ran wildly into the pack house, her legs only directing her to the Herves palace where she knew he would be." Luna!" Shocked shouts came from all directions as they stared at her wounds and her bloodied body.Some started to murmur in worry. Wasn't she pregnant? Had they lost another heir once again?Estelle didn't even hear anything but the breeze passing by her ears as she ran and finally, she arrived and stormed into the palace, shocking the people around there too.Especially Neil who's eyes shone alarmingly in worry." Luna?" He called and Estelle immediately faced him. She held his hand tightly like he wanted to run away from her." Where's River? How's he and where's he?" She asked with uneven breaths, she didn't even understand herself well and all she just wanted was for them to take her to him so she could see him." He's in the room, Luna. He's still hanging on." Neil replied and they both skidded upstairs immediately.Estelle stopped by the do
" L...lair?" She stammered.His eyes were just the same too, as Lord Lawrence and he was glaring down at her with a sickening smile on his veiny face.Estelle was confused and afraid, she didn't know what was happening and frustration started to bite hard in her.She just kept jumping from one trouble into the other." Lair, what is wrong with you?" She shouted but she heard Lord Lawrence chuckle behind her and she turned to him, he wasn't looking at her, he was staring at someone behind Lair's back." You're here too." His eyes glinted with excitement and evil." Lair, why aren't you helping her up?" The feminine voice behind Lair said as she ran to them. It was Kaileyn and she had also noticed Lair's unusual state." W...what is wrong with you? Lawrence? What are you doing here too?" She asked, confusion plastered on her face.Estelle stared deeply at her and immediately noticed her eyes were normal unlike the other two so she quickly stood up, rushing to Kaileyn with unstable b
A man stood in the shadows, his dark night eyes glowing evilly and viciously as he stared at his long, sharp, black claws.He smirked, remembering the people he'd given his black marks. They were finally going to be of use today. The man stepped out of the shadows and he exhaled as his face came into view.Lord Lawrence! *Melina yelled angrily as she appeared in front of the great sea that didn't let her powers pass over it.This was one of the spaces in earth that supernaturals despised the most because of how the sea always held them back from crossing it by using their powers.They'd have to use a physical way to cross the sea and Melina glared hard at it again. It was going to take a lot of time for her to cross it and what she didn't need at all was to waste time.But, she had no choice. No spells or powers she had could supercede that of the sea's. It had existed for a long time and no supernatural still had the power to break the curse a priestess had laid on the sea.
" Congratulations, My Queen. He's dead, the news is everywhere now. The undefeatable Alpha River has finally crossed to the other side." Melina smiled happily and Lilith waved proudly." Now, you'll be feared more by everyone. I wish to be like you someday, My Queen." Melina added." Stop dreaming." Lilith hissed mockingly, removing the smile from Melina's face immediately. The girl bowed and set up Lilith's dinner before moving back to stay in her position." By the way, it's high time I get rid of that thing in there. I'll send news to her sister later and I'm very sure the shock would remove that bastard from her womb. That's if the little devil isn't gone yet." Lilith laughed loudly as she stared at the cage.She stretched her hand and Melina dropped a shiny sword on it." I'll have her heart together with my dinner." She smirked, widening Melina's smile. Lilith stretched her hand towards the cage and a bruised girl fell from it, falling on her knees in front of the whitehead
" Missed me, son?" She smiled prettily while River managed to take a good look at her and he smirked.She was just the same as he could remember, beautiful, evil deceitful eyes and her poisonous, pretty smile." The hourglass emptied just seconds ago." She smiled again, her piercing eyes staring mockingly at him." I told you, River. I would get my revenge and see, I did it and you're so pitifully helpless. Just as I planned, exactly as I planned." She laughed loudly.Neil's eyes reddened angrily and he tried to stubbornly enter the area but he was burnt badly as it was an electric field spell.It totally covered the whole area where the witch and the Alpha was, she obviously wanted them to watch but didn't want them to enter.They also noticed they really couldn't hear what they were discussing well." Don't you miss mummy, you rebellious son of mine? You wanted your father, right? Fine, I'll grant you that wish today. You'll be able to go see your father today. But..." She trailed
