He swiftly swiveled around but there was nothing like he'd expected there. He had thought he heard the bushes shuffling." You, go to the other side. I'll stay here." An exasperated Lair said with a angry tone and the Scout he talked to immediately moved to where he was asked to.He was still on his punishment given to him by the Alpha but it'll be another day in a few hours and he'd be flying back to the pack house to have a rest. That bastard, Neil, couldn't even care to come check if he was still alive or dead with such dreadful punishment given to him." Gamma Lair," one of the Scouts called, he was precisely the head of the other Scouts with the way he held his shoulders like they'd fall off his body if he ever brought them down. Lair only gave a tired him for him to go on before the leader of the Scouts said. " A fire broke out on the others side of the gates, Gamma. It was suspected not go be an accident as earlier, one of the Scouts had seen disappearing figures behind–"
SOMEWHERE FARAWAY In the dim environment that was quite lit up by only the few amounts of equally dim torches that was around the corners of the room. Two figures, recognizably a male and a female by their hair, knelt silently in front of an empty throne with heads bowed but the silence of the environment was continually disturbed by the muffled grunts that came from the cage that was placed far behind in the large dark room but the two figures neither moved nor complained by the noise.A few minutes passed and the tall lean figure of a woman walked majestically into the large room, her snowy white that looked exactly like her pale, snowy skin, proudly swinging down to her waist, her body strapped in a thin material that emphasized her thin but curvy figure. Her face laid in the darkness but her small, shiny red lips shined bright amongst her facial features.She paused on her tracks as her head swiveled to face the cage and immediately, the muffled grunts stopped. She stared at
Estelle felt she was been thrown into a hot lake of fire and had almost staggered to the ground when a soft hand quickly caught her before she could fall." Estelle?" Naina's voice was what she heard last before she passed out.WHITE STONE PACK " Vernon, have you been telling the helpers to lie to me?" Luna Lindsay questioned. Her face wrinkled with extreme fury." Not now, Lin." Her Alpha replied in a low tone as he opened through the pages of the huge book in his hand but Luna Lindsay scoffed as she grabbed the book from him and slammed it hard on the table, staring straight at him but as usual, the Alpha gave no reaction." I'm talking to you! Have you been telling them to lie to me so I wouldn't go to see my son? Hold on, Vernon, are you actually planning for him to be mated to a human? Seriously?" She raged." All his life, you trained and spoke into his head about hating his mate's kind so why would I stress myself in hatching such a plan? Don't you trust your son?" The A
Estelle rolled from edge to edge on the large king sized bed sleepily for while before her lashes reluctantly parted open and she yawned, covering her eyes from the beaming sunlight.As she sat up, a sigh escaped her lips again when she the other empty side of the bed. River was not around yet, what was happening?She gently pressed her forehead, feeling a migraine forming in her head. Gosh, she was feeling so weak and lightheaded too.Her eyes caught the note on the side table and she laughed seeing Naina's familiar ugly handwriting. ' I'm feeling really sleepy now. Wake up, eat well, I'm tired of your sick ass' the note read and Estelle sighed again, recalling the memories of the previous night. Unconsciously, her face turned red at the earlier events of what happened, even though that was what she has always wanted, she couldn't believe it had almost finally happened.And Lair? She really hoped he was fine and it wasn't something so critical as that yellow eyed man had emphasi
" Breakfast, Luna," her maids would call her but she'll skip." Luna, it's lunch time." They'd say again and she'll reluctantly stand up to go to eat just a few grains and a little portion of whatever meal was served." It's dinner time, Luna. Please come down for dinner." They'll specifically say this time because of the meagre amount of food she had ate all day but instead, she'll skip, plunging herself into the bed with that novel she'd found in the library." What do we tell the Alpha when he comes back to meet a bony structure as his Luna?" Prisma would hiss worriedly and frustrated." Hush. Don't say nonsense now." Antara would scold her and she'll shrug.Estelle slightly raised her head up from the book in her hands and sighed when she saw a shadow behind the door, they'd come for her again even if she went all far away to hide in River's study." What now?" She had asked when whoever of them that was behind the door refused to say anything. " Luna, it's Lady Lana. She–"Est
" River." Estelle called the moment she entered Lair's suite and her eyes caught that gorgeous face she hadn't seen in a while. He was talking intently to the Beta but immediately raised his head towards her when he heard her voice." Hey doll," he called too with a smile as he watched her run towards him like a baby whose father had just returned from work. Estelle giggled when he lifted her in his arms like she weighed nothing." I missed you." She smiled and his eyes which seemed dull lightened up almost immediately and she smiled wider, hugging his wide chest with a sigh of relief." Gosh, she had missed this scent so much." She thought as she sniffed his nape and giggled again when he kissed her neck as he seemed to have grown some stubbles and they tickled her.Surprisingly, she pulled away from the hug and stared at his face. He had really grown some stubbles and his face had gone a little lean, giving him a slightly different look." You became lean." His eyes darkened as
Since Jesse was a doctor, she thought he had to have a library of knowledgeable books about different kinds of ailments and probably, their cures.His wife saw her when she entered their house again even after just leaving with the Alpha." Luna," the woman called, quite surprised." Hello. Hm, you wouldn't mind if I check on Jesse for a while, would you? I really didn't get much time to earlier ago as the Alpha was quite in a rush but I suppose he's also quite busy now." Estelle said, gesturing at River through the window. He was just a few strides away." Of course, Luna. That'd be my pleasure." The woman bowed." Please, feel free. I'll leave immediately I'm done." Estelle said before hurriedly getting into the adjoining room as River looked quite hurried when she just saw him. She had to find something important or rather, an important clue before they'd leave as she wasn't so sure if she'd find any opportunity to step out of the palace's gates again and neither did she think
" Where's Neil? I've been looking for him." Kaileyn asked with a frown on her face while Elliot bowed before nudging towards the dungeon. Her frown deepened instead." What is he doing there?" She asked again." The Beta's busy." Was what Elliot only replied and Kaileyn hissed when she noticed the guard's body signs that obviously said he wasn't ready to say much.Kaileyn went to the dungeon, her eyes searching around for Neil but he wasn't he sight. Her ears straightened up when she heard muffled sound of groans from the other side of the dungeon and she rushed there but her eyes immediately widened when she heard a familiar voice. " Yes, Beta. I swear, please forgive me." She heard and at the perfect recognition of the voice, her features expressions changed. Her eyes now laced with a tinge of fear. She made to go forward, to stop Neil but it seemed like her legs had been fixated to the floor from fear.That voice....the owner of that voice was undeniably her personal guard. T
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
