He smiled, hearing her soft snores and seeing how peaceful her face was as she slept soundly. He gently took her head to his chest as he caressed her hair. All the things that had been happening thorough the days hadn't really made him concentrate on her and he didn't like it at all. She was supposed to feel like she was atop of the whole world but as usual, everything was always trying to be against him.Jesse's words recalled in his ears again. They needed his Estelle's blood? For what exactly? Do they really think he was just going to open his eyes and watch them harm her? He stared down at the sleeping beauty in his hands again then placed a lingering kiss on her forehead with a smile on his face. A little birdie became his everything and all he could think of in just a short while and he was very glad about it. He had always been praying to meet her and finally, for once in his entire life, a wish of his had been granted but some dumb people wanted to take her away from him?
The Alpha was already in the hallways just then, returning from the training ground with the others when they heard Estelle's scream. His heart thudded at that moment and immediately, he took off with Neil and Lair running behind him.Marianne had hurriedly grabbed a cloth and tried to use it to cover the wounded part of Estelle's leg where the blood was really flowing out from, at least the cloth could manage to stop the blood from pumping out. But before she could, the Alpha was in already, his eyes haphazardly rummaging through the room till they landed on a whimpering Estelle and on Marianne who looked quite startled as he entered.She felt guilty as he had counted on her with Estelle's safety before leaving for training but she had failed to do as she was asked to again.A maid had rushed to the other side of the room to get the first aid box while another had rushed out to call Sameer as they already knew the Alpha wasn't going to be calm until a doctor checked on his mate.W
Naina was already on the floor when she heard a chuckle." Calm down, dear." The woman chuckled from behind. Naina immediately turned to stare at who talked and it took a while for her to recognize the face of the person." Zora?" She slowly asked and the woman nodded with a smile." I'm glad you remembered my name. But," Zora's eyes turned wary and stern. " It's evening and you shouldn't be sitting outside in such an unguarded environment so carelessly. Can I go in?" The woman added.Naina who was just returning from the other world where her mind had flown to sighed. No matter how beautiful Zora looked despite her quite old age, the woman was still very scary to her and she wouldn't even lie she was having a second thought about allowing Zora into the apartment.She didn't even know her well and for Zora to have kept the address of her house in mind since that day, it made her the more cautious of the woman. Zora smiled." I'm just a poor old woman, Naina. You can search me if yo
Estelle rolled her eyes when she saw River glancing down at her for the hundredth time since they had left the palace. Neil and Lair were behind them and the Gamma also wouldn't stop asking if she was really okay." Okay, that's enough now. I'm really fine, okay? If you keep looking at me, you might hit your head on the wall." She sighed while he chuckled." You think hitting my head on a wall would hurt me in any way?" He said with a smirk while she rolled her eyes again." Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot this big man here is an Alpha." She said, clicking her tongue. " I actually can't believe I'm this short." She muttered again after a while and he laughed again. Neil and Lair looked really uncomfortable hearing him laugh, it was a distant and an unfamiliar sound to them from him." Why do you say so?" He asked with a teasing smile even though he already knew why she said so." Are you serious right now? Can't you see how I keep straining my neck to look up at you? You're just too ta
" Gift?" " Yes." Kaileyn replied, all smiles. She noticed almost everyone had paused eating to watch. It seems as if they all knew she was up to something, it was dinner time and not the time for giving gifts but Kaileyn had sought it as the best time for her to give gifts." Y'all can stop watching and continue eating. I'm talking to Estelle who's right here beside me so I'm certainly not going to spit into anyone's food." She scorned." I thought Lady Estelle already received her pre-wedding gifts earlier today." Zahara, Lord Limbert daughter and a blonde beauty, murmured with a snarl. She had said it on purpose.Kaileyn turned to glare at her. Her father and Zahara's father were in in good terms at all so it was normal for them, the daughters not to be in good terms too. Even before their fathers had started banting, she and Zahara were sworn enemies and it had all started because of a dress which escalated as they grew." You know I wasn't talking to you, right?" Kaileyn would
Lair had came to tell the Alpha about a few persons that had been banging on the pack house's gate and that they'd been refusing to leave without seeing the Alpha. The man was silent as Lair talked about how he tried to scare them away but that they were adamant." I can't hear anything, Lair." He finally spoke up after a while." Maybe they already kept quiet when they heard I was going to go call you." The Gamma replied.All of a sudden, River stopped. His gaze looking very faraway for a second but they returned to normal almost immediately." What's wrong?" " Everything's wrong, Lair. Is this a prank call? You called me out for nothing?"" No, no, I'm serious." Lair immediately denied, he was surprised but as the Alpha said, he couldn't hear any of those people's chants again and neither could he perceive that bushy scent that was on them anymore. " Hold on for a minute, I'll call Duran." He added and after a minute or so, a guard came running towards them. He was the guard tha
KAILEYN'S SUITE. The red head walked into her suite and slammed the door loudly with a sigh as she slumped down on the large couch in her room. A day was never going to pass by without one or some other unthinkable things happening and somehow again, all of her plans had gone down the drain right before her very eyes.Did whatever have to happen to Estelle really have to happen the at that time? Now, the impression of being a kind and nice person by giving Estelle her so called mother's ruby had washed away from the people's mind and had been replaced by the latter's incident.Why would she even give Estelle something that was given to her by her mother? She had sent her personal handmaid to go buy it. It was expensive and was worth it earlier when she was playing the kind lady but it wasn't anymore.But, the sight of Estelle shaking and looking dead and void of life earlier the previous night filled her mind. It was her turn to be hurt sometimes and the next time, it'd be Estelle's
NIGHT»»THE MOONVALLEY PACK. " We wouldn't even be able to conduct the wedding till this year's over, Alpha." Narman, the pack seer said. The wrinkles on his faced that told how old he was seemed more much on his face, he was getting too really old." The wedding has to be conducted tommorow or no other day this year. We have to wait till the next–" Narman was saying but the Alpha suddenly cut him off." That's enough." He interrupted in a low, dull tone.The Gamma made a gesture to the old seer to excuse them and the old man bowed before taking his leave. Not everyone in the pack house knew about Estelle's recent accident, only just a few who were around at that time and the ones who had heard and the ones who had been gossiped about the accident were the only ones who knew about it but certainly not everyone. And because of that, the pack house had been filled to the very brim by people that had came for the wedding. Outside of the pack house which was in the pack, everyone were re
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
