Bright skies accompanied by a radiant sun lit upon the Peachmoon pack, the grand hall was filled with the members awaiting the ceremony of the new Alpha and Luna to be.
Gabrielle was dressed in a white long beautiful floral dress, her hair packed in a neat bun with two curly strands in the front, her smile was dazzling and bright, she was finally going to fulfill her dream and be mated to her mate, “You look beautiful” Scarlett said smiling at her, she readily ran into her arms almost crying, she had always been her support after she came back to the Pack, even when her own mate ignored her, she was still there for her.“Thank you, I am a bit scared” she replied holding unto her fast and steady beating chest, aside from her happiness, she still had fears, fears that she might stumble and fall, fears that she might mess up the whole event, fears that Ash might deny her.“You don’t need to be scared, you have been training for this for weeks now, just don’t worry everything would be fine” Scarlett assured and she smiled back at her.
Gabrielle took a deep breath, she looked at herself once more in the mirror, “Don’t mess up” she whispered to herself faintheartedly, “You are the most beautiful Luna I have been seen” Alpha Sherlock had just entered the room, his gaze on her was quite lovely, he had already accepted Gabrielle as his son’s mate and knew that she was perfect for him.“Thank you Alpha” she replied with a warm smile, she peeked around for Ash but he hadn’t come to see her since morning.
Alpha Sherlock could understand her search, he sighed silently. He had asked Ash to check up on his mate but he refused claiming that she would be doing fine without him.“Alpha, it is time” Gamma Brett said standing with his son Brent, Gabrielle cast her eyes on him recalling her event with him.
“Wait until I am Luna and let me see if you would be able to scold me again” she thought.Standing before the pack members in the Grand hall was Alpha Sherlock and his Luna Scarlett,
“Today begins a new era, a new beginning for the Peach moon pack where I would be stepping down as an Alpha and letting my son Ash rule this pack, I trust that you would also believe in him and respect him as you have all done to me” He said in an audible tone, given the Mantle he took his swearing out oath along with his Beta and Gamma.Soon Ash stepped out in a Black suit, his dark long hair was trimmed a bit giving him a much handsome look, beside him was his Beta Damon and his Gamma Brent.
“I Ash Sherlock accept to be the Alpha of this pack, I swear to fulfill my duties to the pack in every way possible putting the pack before myself” He raised his hand swearing the oath while holding the mantle in the other hand, his Beta and Gamma also swore in.The whole pack members went on their knees in respect swearing submission to him.Gabrielle came out in her beautiful dress smiling to her heart content, she clasped her hands with Ash and took her oath.
“I, Gabrielle Simon accept to be the Luna of this pack, I promise to support the Alpha in whatever decision he makes and never put my selfish desires first before the pack” she said.“Then it is settled, I give you the new Alpha and Luna” the thunderous sound of cheering shook the hall.Ash eyes scanned the hall searching for one person, he didn’t care how many they were, he wanted so much to see her. When he found her, he could see the hurt and pain in his eyes and it broke him, his wolf let out a whimper, he also felt broken by her.
“Are we doing the right thing” Ash questioned himself and Hamish couldn’t give him a right answer, he instantly fell quiet after seeing Livey hurt.Livey stood amongst the crowd trying so hard to hold her tears, it was too much for her to see Gabrielle take a position that was supposed to be hers, she could clearly see her hands wrapped with his as she smiled with a wide grin on her face. Livey was shattered and broken, all her dreams and fantasies were wasted.
She could remember the promise he made to her, it was all a lie, it was damn fucking lie, Ash had played her and broken her badly, her legs went numb and she could barely stand, she held unto Mel who was standing close to her for support.When her eyes met his, her heart started beating, not for love but rather in regret, she wished she had never met him, she wished she had never believed in his stupid promises, a tear broke out from her eyes and she quickly wiped it off, she had to show him that she was strong, she couldn’t appear weak in front of him but it hurt so much that she couldn’t, the second tear broke out and she let it fall.
Livey was surprised by the sudden hug from Mel, she must have seen her crying and decided to console her,“You can cry on me” Mel whispered into her ears and she let all her tears pour on her.Mel didn’t know why Livey was crying but she knew that she needed to console her friend.Livey was blocked from Ash’s stare by Mel, from the position she stood and her fast breathing he could tell that she was crying and it hurt him even more. No one was allowed to leave the hall until the ceremony was over or else it would be seen as a sign of disrespect to the new Alpha and such person would be killed on sight.
Livey had to stay there watching him while her heart broke more, the chief commanders and warriors swore their allegiance to Alpha Ash and after that the ceremony was over.Immediately the doors were open Livey ran out with Mel chasing after her,
“Open up Livey” Mel begged standing by the door, Livey was quite faster than her so when she got to her room, she immediately locked it.“Livey please open the door, you can’t cry all by yourself” she begged hoping that her friend would listen to her, Livey had become the closest person to her and she was unhappy to see her cry.
Livey leaned on the door crying until she fell down to the floor, her knees were knitted tight to each other as she tried to suppress her muffles and cries.Her man was finally lost to her and there was nothing she could do, she wasn’t even given a chance to fight for him, the smile on Gabrielle’s face was plastered on her mind, she had taken her man away from her without notice. She let out a shrilled scream which startled Mel outside the door.Mel banged the door once more in fear for her, she was scared that she might hurt herself, after much avail, Livey finally opened the door and she quickly hugged her wishing to take away her pain.***
At Ash chambers, Gabrielle wore a black lingerie exposing her body as she waited for Ash who was taking a shower,“What are you doing here” he asked angrily as he saw her,“I am here to please you, I know that today might have been stressful for you so I came to warm your bed” she flaunted her body sexily, no man had ever resisted her and she also believed she had such good charms even over her mate who would feel the mate bond.“I know that you want me and I want you too”she touched his body running her hands on his firm chest which was hard as rock. She sucked his ears and it sent tingles down his body, Ash had to compose himself before he lost control.“I can pleasure in so many ways” she whispered pressing her body on his, she kissed him but he didn’t respond to her kiss, she tried forcing the kiss and he pushed her off.
“Get out” he ordered,“What the hell, where do you expect me to go to, I am your mate for Christ sake. I belong to you” she yelled.
“Leave before I push you out” he ignored her complaint, though she was his mate, he didn’t feel the satisfaction of touching her, when their lips touched it was quite different from when he used to kiss Livey, there was no sweetness to it, it felt sour to him.
“Really, is that how you are going to be towards your mate, huh.
Tell me is it because of that whore, that witch must have charmed you to react like this” she argued, he had always been thinking about her all the time, he secluded himself from her without even touching her. Not once has he ever smiled with her, he restricted her from entering his room, she was finally fed up with all of that.“Don’t you dare call her a whore” He answered in a bellow tone, he could take insults from her but not towards Livey.
“So what should I call her then, she has wrapped you underneath her fingers to the point that you can’t even acknowledge your own mate” she reverted back, she hated Livey so much for taking away her happy life.
“She didn’t do anything, I am just not ready” he answered, her presence was making him angry, Ash knew that he wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly after seeing Livey so hurt, every time he closed his eyes all he saw was her face.
“Please leave, I need to rest” he opened the door for her.“Fine” she stormed out hissing and muttering curses on Livey.
Her life was a total mess because of her, if she didn’t come back on time then perhaps Ash would have rejected her and taken Livey as his chosen mate. “I cannot let that bitch take what is mine” she yelled throwing her pillow to the floor, she had to show that she was in charge and she was the Luna of the pack.After leaving, Ash sighed in relief, he looked out to the window and into the woods where he and Livey had memories together, the games they played, their best moments were all there, he would give anything to go back to that life, to go to his peace and happiness. She was the only one who made him feel whole, who made him feel like he was at home.
Right now his life was miserable, even his mate could not bring him the happiness that she used to, her beautiful face was still fresh in his mind, the way she smiled at him, her usual habit of combing through her hair with her hands. He could remember almost everything about her, he wished he could turn back the hands of time and be with her again, only her. She meant the world to him and now his world was shattered to a thousands pieces to the point that he couldn’t mend it anymore.Livey woke up to a beautiful morning, she took a quick shower and left the castle quite early, it was her birthday and she wished to do the things she liked, she didn’t care if she would be scolded by Bridgette, all she cared about was her freedom atleast for one day.She visited her parents grave first,“Hi mom, your baby girl is finally eighteen, I know that this was a day that you had always wanted to see but sadly you are not here to celebrate it with me. I am sure that you are watching over me and would always take care of me, since you left, things have been hard for me and I wish I could have joined you but things happen for a reason.I love you mom, now and always.And Dad, I miss you so much, I miss the fun times that we had, the coaching, the training, everything. I pray you are in a better place and that you and mom are together as always” She said and sat for a while beside their grave stone, they were all she had but yet they we
“Livey” Gamma Brent called walking towards her dressed on a brown shirt and jeans while holding two sticks. He threw a stick at her almost hitting her face.“Follow me, he ordered and she obeyed without objection, her tiny feet weren’t able to keep up with his pace so she ran behind him.In the woods, Brent held a stick in his hand smiling.“Gamma Brent, what are we doing here?” She asked in fear, she didn’t like the idea of getting caught with the Gamma by anyone most especially by Bridgette or the Alpha.“Relax, I need a sparing partner. No one is willing to fight with me because they think I am too strong” He answered, his ripped chest could be seen through the shirt as well as his muscles. “I don’t think I am the right person, if anyone sees me then I would be in trouble” Livey panicked keeping her head down, she was just new to the castle and she couldn’t afford to have silly attention drawn to herself, she was already trying to deal with Gabrielle’s constan
Mel sang beautifully as she worked in the kitchen, the morning seemed sweet to her, she dangled her tiny waist dancing to the melody of her song with her long black hair flipping to each side, anyone seeing her would love to stay to watch such a spectacle, she looked beautiful and graceful as she danced.She stretched her hands to reach the top of the cupboard but her petite figure coulpled with her short arms wouldn’t let her so she slipped and fell.Instead of falling on the hard floor, Mel could feel a rather hard surface but it wasn’t painful to her, the scent of fresh pine filled her nose and she quickly got up knowing who he was.She avoided his gaze keeping her head down, “I am so sorry Gamma” she apologized almost knocking herself for being so careless to fall sleep on him.“It’s okay” he answered standing up, he had been watching her for a while and she didn’t seem to notice him, he nodded his head to her
“Livey” Mel called knocking on her door, she slightly opened it and could see that Livey wasn’t there but she had checked everywhere in the room for her. She spaced around before it came to her attention that most of Livey’s things were missing.She quickly ran to find the Gamma, she saw him coming out of Alpha Ash office,“Woah, slow down” Gamma Brent said holding her from falling after she bumped into him.“I need your help” She said while gasping for air after such a race, the Alpha’s office was much further from the omegas room. “Anything, what is wrong?” He asked, “It’s Livey, she is missing” she said. “What do you mean missing” Gamma Brent asked back, he thought maybe she wasn’t sure of what she said and Livey could be just outside the castle and not anywhere far. “Some of her things are missing, I mean the valuable ones” She answered, before she could continue, Alpha Ash stormed out of his office and into his car driving off.
The air in the Peachmoon pack was dark and crispy as the fog in the woods covered the Rogues who were ready to attack the pack.The guard by the perimeter lost attention while sipping water from a bottle, he didn’t seem to notice the rogue behind him, his head was clawed off and his body dropped to the floor. “Attack” another guard changed as he rushed towards a Rogue, the warriors were alerted as they marched out ready to defend the pack, without the Alpha around Beta Damon took charge.He launched at two Rogue digging his claws deep into one and circling the other making his dominance known.Gamma Brent joined the battle with his grey wolf attacking a rogue who came at him, Mel watched from her window in fear as he tore and killed anything in his way. She had never seen him so ferocious before and she was scared.More rogues came increasing their number, the warriors were getting scared because of lack of their Alpha. He was supposed to
Seated in the Alpha’s office was Alpha Paul, a tall dark man with curly hair, chiseled jaw, brown eyes complimenting his eloquent face.“What brings you here Alpha” Sherlock asked looking at the 35 year old man with an awesome build up, his perfect body and his strong face.“I heard of the rogue attack on my way here, I guess you could already tell how big they are.I am not here to blander but you know that this is not a time to claim being the strongest pack, something is coming and you know it” Alpha Paul said moving straight to the point. He was never one to beat around in a conversation.“I know you did not just come here to tell me that, what are you proposing” he asked, he could tell that Alpha Paul wasn’t big on charity he was rather a give and take kind of person.“I am offering my alliance to you, what do you have to offer to me?” Alpha Paul asked back folding his arms and star
“Welcome” Alpha Paul opened the car for her but she was reluctant in coming out.“You can sleep there if you want” he turned his back towards her and into his estate, for a pack he sure lived in a fancy place.“Did she think that he was going to beg her” he murmured as he walked, it caused him great trouble to get her, she fought and yelled with his men, crying and causing a rackus in the car. He went straight to his office and sat on his chair, he ordered an omega to help her in, as much as he hated the way she acted, she was his new bride he had to still take care of her.“This is your room” an omega showed her before leaving her to herself. She stared at the magnificent room, not once had Livey seen such a big room just for one person.“Or was this only for her” she thought, she placed her bag on the chair and sat on the bed.Her thoughts swept to what Sherlock said to her, she had never expe
Hope and strength became a stronghold for Livey as she began her new day in the dark moon pack, it was already her second week there.She rose up from her soft and silky bed which had given her so much through the cold night, taking a quick shower, she combed through her hair in front of her mirror. Wearing a blue hoodie to protect her from the cold and some baggy jeans, she opened her door to begin work in the kitchen.Livey saw herself as a guest in the dark moon pack and felt as if she had to live up to her potential, when she opened the door she found several omegas working to the point that there wasn’t anything for her to do.“Good morning Luna” An average lady greeted her, Livey turned back to see who she was referring and realized that it was her.“No, please call me Livey” she replied back but the woman didn’t heed to her. “Luna, our Alpha has asked us to treat you with utmost respect, it would be disrespectful to call you by your name” the woman r
The next day, Livey decided to have a peak at the market to buy a few things for herself and communicate more with her people but also to know if word has gotten out about her child being a cursed child.She wore a disguise making her unrecognizable as the Queen as she stepped out with just one guard.“Do you really have to do this?” Newton asked scared about her plans, he was against the idea of her leaving the castle after he had heard that Helon was still alive.“Come on, I need to do this Atleast once in a while” Livey answered him walking down the stairs.“It’s fine if you want to go to the market but can I atleast follow you?” He requested.“No, if you follow me then it would raise suspicions about what a chief guard was doing in the market then I would in turn be bursted” she answered him.“I could wear a disguise” he suggested and she instantly laughed at him.“See who is beginning to act like me, you don’t need to wear a disguise because you are not coming” she stated
A new council was formed before Livey consisting of Three men and three women.They had a meeting to talk about the issues of the Kingdom when a man bathed in on them.“Helon, what are you doing here?” Livey said, she wasn’t interested in the fact that he was still alive after escaping Judah’s attack but what she was more concerned was what he was doing there.She thought he was back to fight for the kingship title with Ash.“Am I not allowed to be here?” He asked standing in front of them.“Only members of the council and the king and Queen are allowed to be here” a member of the council stated.Helen looked around and he could find Ash, he wondered where he could but instead he tried to use his absence to his advantage.“I am the King of Atlantis, you can refer to me as the former king but a king is still a king” he said taking a seat among them. He scanned again for Thane and he wasn’t present.‘What a pleasant surprise’ he thought to himself.“You were no king before, you were ju
In the witches coven, Maggie had gone there to seek refuge after she had escaped livey and refused helping her, she waited in a room for whoever was the leader.“So you are the witch who refused to help the Queen” a masculine voice said and a msn walked into the room seated in front of her crossing his legs.Maggie had never seen him before and he didn’t look like he had powers at all,“Who are you exactly?,I asked to see the leader here” she said boldly, she wasn’t ready to have a conversation with a total stranger.“Well you can refer to me as the former king of Atlantis or better still the leader of the witches” Helon smirked at her.“So you are King Helon, the man who fled in the face of Judah” she said abc he felt ashamed about that.The news of him running away from Atlantis in fear of Judah was no news ti anyone in the witches coven.“Any man in my condition would have fled fir his life” He defended himself.Helon’s plan when he was in Atlantis was very simple, get married to
“Lord Thane” Newton bowed to him as he walked towards them.“I make you King and instead of thanking me, You go ahead to attack him” Thane stated walking past Ash and towards his niece Livey.“I am so glad that you are back” He hugged her tightly.Thane had feared that once she got to Ash she might not want to come back and would want to stay back and enjoy the comfort of his love leaving the throne vacant so he went through much effort to make Ash King by making a proclamation throughout the land.“Same here uncle” she answered with a smile.“Ash, what was the fuss all about,Can you tell me why you were fighting with your right hand man” Thane turned back to Ash with a strict demeanor, he wasn’t angry about what just happened but he had to act like he was.“My right hand, how come he get to be my right hand man, he is just the chief warrior, I can pick whoever I want as my right hand man” Ash objected.He was against having Newton close to him and talking to him about important when
“You called for me” Gamma Brent peeped into Ash room before walking in,“Have a seat Brent” Ash instructed and he did.“I will be returning back to Atlantis with Livey in two days time and I don’t think I will come back anytime soon” Ash disclosed to him immediately and Brent was Quiet listening to him.“Okay, but when will you return so that I can know how long you would be away and stand in for you” Brent asked.He had always been stepping in for Ash each time he was out, making sure the pack was well taken care of.When he left for Atlantis with Livey for the first time he was given the whole pack to take care of.“That’s the point,If I come back then it won’t be my pack anymore, it would be yours.I would just come back for visits” Ash explained to him and Brent thought he was joking about it.“You want to leave the whole pack to me,Are you okay?.You cannot leave the pack to me, I am not ready to rule a pack” Brent defended.Taking full responsibility of a pack was a big load f
Livey had been feeling nostalgic for the last few days and decided to visit the doctor to run some test wondering why she was sick when she was a wolf.“It’s nice to see you again Luna Livey” the pack doctor said smiling, it had been a while since she last saw Livey and she was excited to see her again.“Nice to see you too doctor” Livey answered with a polite smile. She could tell by the doctor’s face that she was more happier to see her than she did.“Well I have good news for you Luna?Why isn’t the Alpha here to hear such news” The doctor asked.The results she was about to give her would been a beautiful news for Ash and she wished he had heard it himself. She thought about how excited he would be to find out about it that she couldn’t help but think that he should be called before giving out the results.“Why does he have to be here, Am I dying?” Livey asked panicking.At this moment she began to think about the curse placed on her and wondered if it was the curse beginning its
“You have powers” Sapphire said in terror, she had not expected her to have powers at all, now she was at loss because all she had was just her knife to fight back and her wolf.“What did you think?” Livey smirked.“And don’t you dare think this isn’t a fair fight because you tortured me when I was powerless using Alpha Paul as your strong hold. It’s time for revenge bitch” Livey casually walked in and burning every single thing her hand could touch.“You know I once thought I was going to die by your hands, I never thought I was going to escape you but here I am now” she added and Sapphire just stared at her with widened eyes.Most of her things were burning and the fire kept spreading.‘Is she going to burn me?” She asked herself in fear.“I should have killed you back then” Sapphire blurted out, she didn’t want to act so cowardly in front of Livey, Livey was a woman who was once beneath her and at her mercy, just because she now had powers to defend herself doesn’t mean she would b
Ash had decided to reduce the number of men he took to the Dark moon pack. he carried about a dozen warriors, Livey, Gamma Brent and Mel who wanted to tag along.When they got to the pack house, Three guards were standing guard by the entrance. Ash and Brent snuck up on them and Mel struck the third one with a spear to his head. They safely got into the pack house and they split up.Livey left them to search for Sapphire while Ash went ahead to find Alpha Paul.He walked towards a secluded chambers in the pack house until he found Alpha Paul stepping out of his room.“Alpha Ash, are you paying a visit or you are here to kill me?” He asked standing agile before him. Alpha Paul wasn’t scared of him because he still saw him as a youth despite how much he had aged and looked more of a man now nothing changed to him that he was much younger than him.“I think you know the answer to that, you outdid yourself thinking you can take my mate away from me.You may have tried it before and succee
Livey sat in front of a tree Ash had planted in respect of the death of her parents.“Hi mom, It’s me Livey.It’s been a while we spoke and I am sorry I haven’t visited you in a while, I have been really busy. A lot has happened in my life since you left and I know more is still coming me way.I just wish you were alive and here with me” she said with a solemn face and a heavy heart.It had been years since her parents died leaving her alone in the world.“Not a day goes by that I don’t miss you, I missed the times we spent together.I still want to thank you for teaching me how to use my powers, if you hadn’t taught me all that then I would still be used by others and not able to fight back” she stated.Livey had always been grateful for the training she got from her mom, because of it she was able to escape Alpha Paul, she could fight Scarlett and Gabrielle and last but not the least Judah, she wouldn’t have made it that far if she hadn’t taught her all she knew.“But then again yo
