Estelle folded her lips in her mouth as she looked around in the woods for the nth time like she was trying to memorize each and everywhere she had and was stepping into so she wouldn't get lost when trying to go back.It had been quite a while now and she was quite proud to say that she was going to go back home empty as what she was seeing now was so not what she'd imagined but a smile formed her face when she remembered the look in his eyes and the passionate kiss they'd shared when she was leaving.Unconsciously, she touched her lips and a sigh escaped her lips, she was already missing him but she immediately removed her mind from him. If she kept thinking about him, then she was definitely going to remain in that spot till it was time to go back.She started to move slowly but still keeping her eyes on the environment so she makes sure she doesn't go really far into the woods, her eyes were also on the maids lurking around. River had told her not to let them out of her sight
Estelle let out a loud, frustrated groan and a very angry hiss when she raised the almost dead and still struggling mouse in her hand. Angrily, she flung it away after watching it wriggle and wriggle. She was mad at herself and sorry to the mouse that she had unfortunately stabbed and shot mercilessly thinking it was one huge kill.While roaming around a while ago, she had thought about what exact kind of kill she needed to bring back home. Was she supposed to find and kill a lion or a tiger? She just couldn't understand and she was now so frustrated.The worst part of all was that she had lost trace of the others while running after the mouse a while ago so she had two burdens on her shoulder now. To find a huge kill and to find her way back home.Sighing again, she threw herself on the ground where she had used her legs to clear the few dirts she could remove from there before sitting, physically tired and emotionally drained.It was getting darker so the woods seemed quite too
Neil who was entering the terrace at that moment immediately rushed to the Alpha who also continued coughing for almost a minute before he finally stopped." Are you okay?" Neil asked and the man hurriedly nodded." What is it? Are they back? Is Estelle back?" The Alpha asked hastily while Neil slowly shook his head, confused but when he saw the fear in the man's eyes, he sighed." I think she'll be fine, stop worrying yourself out. We know they wouldn't be able to come back now, there's still enough time." " There's not any enough time. She doesn't know anywhere in the woods, what if she's lost? What if she's in trouble? Send the other batch of warriors into the woods, they should report to me when they find her." The Alpha ordered." But–"" Now! Don't get me mad now, Neil!" The Alpha cut him off with dark eyes and he nodded again as he linked the head of the warrior guards.There was silence afterwards as Neil only stared at River's wide back that was now turned to him like h
With a scarier look on his face, the Alpha rushed down the terrace and both the Beta and the Gamma's eyes widened when they saw the unconscious and bleeding Alice that was laid and rushed in by a stretcher." Alice!" River roared, scaring the people as they immediately shifted backwards to a safer spot that was out of the Alpha's reach." What happened? What is wrong with her? What happened to her? Didn't I warn you not to let her out of your fucking sight?" He growled at the shivering guard that was personally sent after Alice to watch her." I promise I was all over the princess but she trickily sneaked away. I deserve to die, Alpha." The guard bowed as he sweated profusely." You really deserve to." The Alpha's eyes burned as he lifted the tiny form of the silver eyed princess on the bed by himself, rushing off. Neil made to collect her from him but he only sighed when the man swatted Alice from his grip.It was understandable as Alice was the apple of his eyes. That girl was one sp
" What do we do, Beta?" The guard beside Neil asked and he let out a long sigh like a disturbed old man." Just leave him be as we've always done." He replied after a while. River had gone rogue in the woods again back then during the full moon and Neil had immediately had everyone stay away from the woods, short-living the joyful moment because many except a few still didn't know about the Luna's disappearance.But, the Alpha going rogue and the Luna's total disappearance from the Alpha was soon going to provide them of the knowledge of the Luna's disappearance.It's been days since the full moon now but same thing had happened again. River had gone rogue again and he was surely leaving a larger pile of dead bodies of rogues than he'd left before, during the full moon.Neil sighed again but when his gaze landed on the extremely injured and bandaged blondie on the bed, his face suddenly turned rigid and tightened. They were still very busy trying to find the Luna and Kaileyn the o
In the bank of a large sea, an unconscious body laid on the shore with the sun bestowing it's glory down on the seaside.Almost half an hour later, the person on the shore slowly rose, looking around the environment with a frown on her face. Estelle froze in shock seeing where she was.It looked like a deserted island with those plenty and huge plantations that she immediately got scared for a second but there was only one thing stamped on her mind." I am safe! I didn't die!" Was the only joyful thought stamped in her head. There was nothing as a single noise and when Estelle looked away from the large island she was seeing before her, she gasped seeing half of her body still deep from her waist down inside the water and she immediately swam out of it but as she reached shore, a groan left her throats at the wenching pain in her leg.It was later that she realized her left leg was broken and a tear fell off her eyes. The water current was just too much and with the way it had suc
Alpha River stood on the bridge over the lakeside as he stared down at the spiraling waters with a cold and blank expression on his face but his eyes suddenly lit up in anger at the figure that had just came to stand gently beside him." Do not attack me. I'm not here for fight." The figure said, smiling at the unsmiling Alpha whose vicious glare on him increased instead." I don't care what you came here for. Go back, Tyga. I'm not in the mood for your nonsense because I won't take even a second to send your head back to the council." The silver haired Alpha threatened. " Kill me then. I really do not mind dying by your hands, it'll be a pleasure, Your highness." The man, Tyga bowed with a smile that annoyed the other man.River didn't talk again, he was silent and so was Tyga as they both stared down at the gorgeous part of nature.Suddenly, the smile on Tyga's face disappeared and was replaced by a dangerous look. It seemed like he wasn't the person smiling a minute ago." Th
In the deserted island, Estelle was still resting from their long walk while Kaileyn just stood with screwed up face as she waited for Estelle to regain a bit of strength before they continued again but it seemed as if the broken leg beauty didn't want to leave from her resting place again.They had spent days already in the island and things had been good so far without any problems for them but Estelle thought that they couldn't stay their forever and it was better for them not to relax because of the dangers still hidden in the Island that they hadn't faced.Besides, Kaileyn just got bitten by a snake that was lying in their very hurt and the incident had triggered Estelle's urge to go back home." Can we go now? I've been standing and waiting here for over an hour already." Kaileyn said angrily as she stared at Estelle who was now giving her a angry look." Wow, really? Your wounds healed so fast already, mother wolf. That's why you have the guts to talk to me. Can't you see 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
