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a kind and nice person by giving Estelle her so called mother's ruby had washed away from the people's mind and had been replaced by the latter's incident.Why would she even give Estelle something that was given to her by her mother?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 SUITE." Elle," the silver haired Alpha called gently as he held his mate's long, beautiful fingers in his hands. Her fingers were cold, so very cold but within a few seconds of his hands over hers, they turned warm.It made him happy. At least, she was responding to him. To his touch." I know it's all of my fault, Elle. All of my fault but don't you think you've been sleeping for too long now?" His lips hovered above each of her fingers as he spoke. " Wake up now, Elle. I want to see your beautiful eyes before going to bed. You love seeing mine too, right?" He added then straightened up slightly with a small heave as he stared into her face.Why couldn't they just let them be? All because of him, since she had arrived the pack, her whole life had been upside down. They weren't letting his Estelle be at all.Folding his fist with his gorgeous orbs holding extreme pain, he slowly dropped his head on the side of her neck gently. He only hoped she doesn't get tired of him,
" What's wrong?" He asked as he pulled away from the hug. He could feel her body change and as he stared at her face, he could also see the change in her countenance too." River..?" Estelle's voice came out low." Yes, baby. What's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked, holding her face gently. " I..I...I....did you see her?" She asked again and even though he didn't understand what she was saying, he already had a hint about what she meant. A her? A she? Does that means whatever happened to Estelle that day was the work of a female? " Calm down, okay? Just calm down. Everything's going to be okay, hm?" He said soothingly, kissing her forehead gently then hugging her again.He knew she had been reminded with what had happened that day but he wasn't going to let anything nor anyone ruin her happiness. All he wanted was that bright smile that he had seen when she woke up and nothing else. All he ever wanted was the extreme happiness that was on her perfect face earlier ago." I don't wan
Estelle jumped excitedly as Elliot and a few guards led her to the garage. She had passed there once during those usual strolls she normally had before and was really fascinated by the cars in the garage.The garage was large, like really large. There were two car garages in the pack house, one that was for the royal family members and the other that was for the Alpha alone." Alpha, what are you doing? You'll let her take a car for a ride?" Neil asked, walking besides the Alpha that was watching his Estelle jumping and giggling excitedly. Neil had a really unpleasant look on his face and it made Lair scoff." Why wouldn't I? She probably knows how to drive a car and that's why she must have asked for one, right?" River replied, staring down at Neil who sighed as he threw his face away exasperatedly." You're getting me all wrong. Everything about what's happening now is just wrong, there's just a few hours to a new day. To your wedding with her and she's preparing to drive a race c
Estelle didn't sleep. No, she couldn't at all and neither did River nor any other person that she knew slept too. Everyone was up doing one thing or the other, she could also see Kaileyn doing her own job. Her own job was to be staring at River like he'd disappear the minute she looked away.Estelle would have minded but she didn't. She could look as much as she wanted, she could look but could not touch, it made Estelle chuckle wickedly.The Alpha had the small chuckle that escaped his mate's and he looked down at her. She was resting her head on his chest while she sat beside him." Elle?" " Hm," she answered, raising her head up. The glint of the chuckle was still in her eyes." I heard you laugh just now, what's wrong?" He asked calmly." It's nothing." She giggled again. Her giggle so infectious that it made him smile. " Don't worry about me, I'm just too excited." She added, laying down back on his chest." I can see." He replied. The weather was cool and calm but the pack
" N...n..aina?" Estelle was almost screaming as she saw the blonde, teary eyed Naina that stood by the door. " Estelle? Is that you? Like....is that really really you?" Naina asked, utterly gobsmacked as she stared at her friend who was already walking slowly towards her in her sparkling wedding gown.A wedding dress? Estelle was getting married? Just after how many days of her suddenly disappearing?" It's me. Of course, it has to be me. Naina?" Estelle replied and immediately hastened her footsteps and as soon as she reached her friend, she immediately hugged her and her eyes widened, seeing Naina was real.She wasn't imagining! It was Naina! Naina was right there with her but how? How was that even possible?" You look so gorgeous." Naina said, after they had separated. She really meant what she said as her eyes held the same warmth and expression that came with what she said." I almost couldn't recognize you. I...I...where the hell have you been? Oh, I mean, what's happening
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
