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
Estelle ran back to the palace and straight up to the bedroom where she hid herself under the quilt, her breath sounding heavy that she had to palm her nose and mouth as people hundred meters away could definitely hear how loudly she was breathing but then, when she started to feel suffocated, she removed her palm from her face, now digging her face into the pillow.She pulled the quilt off her body again, sitting up in the bed and chewing her fingernails, fear and nervousness crawling all around her skin and giving her goosebumps.Lair jumped up from the bed; That certainly means her blood really had an effect on him but she just didn't have an idea if it was a good effect or a bad one, she didn't know and it was giving her a mad scare. Nothing must happen to Lair because of her carelessness of else she wasn't going to forgive herself.Still very restless and unable to act normal, she jumped up from the bed and left for the living room where she plonked on the couch, her breat
In a flash, a few days had gone by, five days actually.Estelle sighed when she saw her husband's suspicious gaze on her again." Just tell me exactly what it is." He said softly but she only flashed an innocent smile at him as she blinked sweetly but the man just shook his head with a short heave.Estelle sighed. She had really been behaving suspiciously these past days. Why won't she? Lair was as fine as ever now and she had found out her blood seemed to be one special substance. Lair actually fell into a deep unconscious state after that night and had just regained consciousness earlier in the morning but she still hadn't gone to see him.Hell, she was so scared. What if he actually wasn't sleeping and had saw her that night? What would happen when people find out about such absurd thing? And R...river? She thought with a sigh as she stole a short glance at the silver haired man who was actually staring at her but she immediately looked away and she heard him chortle in that
There wasn't a tear nor a smile on her face as she dragged her bags out with a very firm and unchanged look in her eyes this time. The maid who had been following her around had widened her eyes in confusion when she at first saw the fury Naina used to return to her room but seeing her now with bags and luggages....got her confused.This....was the middle of the night. Where was she going? " Miss, please, what are you doing? I can't allow you to go anywhere like this. Please let's go back." The maid pleaded from behind as she tried to catch up with Naina's hurried movement. She was quite surprised and impressed at he human's quick strides too but there wasn't the time to think about that now." You wouldn't be able to make it through anywhere when it gets darker because of the heavy climate change so why don't you just wait till the day gets bright again before deciding on what to do, Miss? Please," the maid was still calling after Naina.Surely, the guards at the gates weren't
" R...iver? What's wrong, are you okay?" She asked immediately but he only hummed with his warm, thin lips now on her nape. She felt his teeth drag around that area and she shook at the shock that it caused on her body. As she bit her lips to conceal the moan that she was about to release, she looked into the glass again.He didn't look good and she wondered what happened. He wasn't staring up this time but she could feel something wasn't wrong with him." Where have you been? I've been waiting for you, you know." She asked him but with knotted brows when she noticed that for some strange reasons, he was trying to make sure she didn't peer into his eyes and it was working as his long, dark lashes prevented her from seeing his eyes." Do not wait for me another time." He whispered into her ears as he drew her into his chest but he pulled away almost immediately and dug his face back in her nape and Estelle could only hold his head as she caressed his soft, silky mass.He suddenl
Yelina stared up at the figure before her with an uncomfortable frown on her face." What is she doing here?" She thought and at the same time, taking extra caution to secure her thoughts." This is a very odd time, My lady. Are you–" she was saying but as she expected, she was being interrupted." Are you saying that I can only come here in whichever time you want? Yelina." " No, never, My lady. Please forgive my rudeness." Yelina could only say as she bowed and her long hair that fell on her face hindered the beautiful woman before her from seeing the angry look on her face." I can smell your reluctance but it's none of my business, amore Jesse." The lady laughed. " Well, I think I have a very important news to tell you. Surely, one you'd very like to hear but in return, you'll now have to do as I say. Remember, I told you just sometime ago that we'd both need each other's help someday and it is now that I'll tell you what you need to do." " My–"" I also told you about getti
She raised the quilt over her head when she heard a noise behind the door. It was definitely him! It had to be him! Estelle held her breaths when she heard the door open but immediately relaxed as she closed her eyes and pretended to still be asleep even though she knew he might have known that she was awake and had listened to his conversation all through.There was a long silence for a while that she was almost tempted to raise her head and check if he was still in the room but she didn't. She could still feel his presence and at last, she heard him call. " Estelle?" She didn't answer. She just laid glum and unmoving on the bed but be called her again and when she still didn't answer, he finally took steps back as he left the room.Estelle hurriedly palmed her lips as her eyes turned red and wet and in a moment time, she could feel the tears trailing down her cheeks. They were sad and unhappy tears.A FEW DAYS LATER and winter and swiftly arrived. " Geez, it's colder here than
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
