"Richard!" I exclaimed, surprised to see him here. "Why are you here?" "Rumour had it that a fight was insured between the Luna and a warrior, but I couldn't feel any pain from you, so I decided to come and investigate it for myself." "It is nothing to worry about; I was just taking care of a mistake." The warrior, whose name I still don't know, whimpered. "Elijah?" "Yes Alpha." So that was the name of the retard. It is a pity; it was such a fine name, but he may not live long enough to enjoy it. "Did you attempt to fight with your Luna?" He asked. I scoffed, like he could try it. "No, Alpha. I would never do that." "Then tell me what the hell is going on here!" He thundered. I heard a whimper from behind me coming from the omega, and I held Richard's hand. Calm down; I will tell you all that happened later. For now, let us just leave this vicinity; otherwise, I will keep getting angry. I told him through the mind link. He let him lead him outside, but not before giving Eli
We allowed the dust from Jessica's travels to settle before calling for a general pack meeting the following week. Richard had decided to fix up a meeting with the pack, and the meeting will decide Elijah's fate. Darla's mate had finally returned from her journey, and when she heard the news from her mate, she was outraged. It took everything in Darla to hold her down and prevent her from marching up to the man and tearing him into unrecognizable pieces. The meeting was scheduled in the pack's hall, and attendance was compulsory, except for minors and the elderly. The sun was high in the sky as we made our way to the hall. Today will determine the fate of Elijah. The pack hall was a gigantic building just beside the pack house. It was used for social gatherings, events, and meetings. Although meetings were rarely held there, whatever wanted to be passed across was usually communicated through the pack link. So moments like these were held once in a while and only on very serious occ
I straightened my shoulders as I got down from the podium with my head raised in pride. I glided through the stage and made my way straight to Richard. His eyes were watching me with intent, the sparkling orbs burning a hole through my skin. From afar, I could see his eyes were twinkling even in the bright sunlight, beaming with pride. He gave me a little nod of approval as I approached him. "You did very well up there." His deep voice boomed through the mind link, messing with my thoughts for a while. His voice was distracting enough that I had to hold still for a while to recall what he said. I felt myself standing up straighter, in respect to the compliment; Kiayra was practically purring and drooling—I mean, when is she ever not? "Indeed, you are fit to be the Luna; the way you were up there. You were taking charge and looking so dangerously beautiful doing so, dressed in all that leather. Richard Junior had no choice but to stand to attention." The corner of my mouth turned up;
We put our clothes back on and hurried out, closing the door. We were so busy uniting as one that we had lost track of time, and the sun was already setting. We began what I should call the walk of shame, although Richard didn't look one bit like he was ashamed. He was whistling a tuneless song happily as he held my hands while we walked down the path leading to the pack house. Occasionally, he would pause his whistling to reply to greetings from pack members before he resumed again with greater vigor. I could see people staring at us with amusement, and I could imagine what they were seeing. I mean, we looked and smelled like we had just had mad sex. Thank goddess for the jacket I had on that covered my body, which was littered with bite marks. Richard was beside me, walking with a proud smile, until we got to the pack house. It was a Saturday, so I had nothing to do. Richard had gotten dressed and left with Ian, as they had something to do out of town, so I was left on my own. I
"Guess who is going to be an aunt?" I screamed at the screen as she picked up the call. Her eyebrows were furrowed in confusion at first, but then her eyes lit up in understanding, and she gasped, her eyes bulging out from their sockets, before quickly covering her mouth. She looked at me, and I could see her connecting the dot before she proceeded to release an ear-piercing scream, "Arrgh!!!" I moved the screen away from my face before she could shatter my eardrums. "Take it easy, Jessica." I replied, before she would break the glass, Ava was beside me, laughing her ass off. "Oh, my god! Are you pregnant?" She squealed in a high-pitched voice. "No, it is actual—" "What the hell is going on here?" Audrey barged inside, interrupting me. "What happened? Are you hurt?" She made straight for her mate and took her in her arms, her worried eyes darting over her, looking to see if she was hurt. She wasn't satisfied with what she saw, so she cast her eyes around the room, looking for the
Richard arrived home quite late that day, and I was awake throughout the night waiting for him in the sitting room until I couldn't take it any longer. I had sat on the bed reading a book and trying to bid time, but you can't cheat nature, so I ended up dozing. "Babe?" A warm hand was caressing my back. "Mmm?" I murmured with a sleep-laden voice, but I didn't wake up, not when I was still deep in sleep. "Babe." He whispered in my ears. "Wake up and get changed; you are still sleeping in your full outfit." "Richard? Is that you?" "Yes baby, it is I. Get up and get changed. Were you waiting for me all this while?" I opened my mouth, and a loud yawn escaped me, even as I stretched my body. I turned my neck from side to side, trying to relieve the pain that had developed there. Sleeping in an uncomfortable position for that long had its effects. "Why did it take you so long to come back?" I queried him as soon as I was aware of my environment. "I was waiting for you until I dozed of
I was sitting down on the chair beside the vanity while I waited for him. He had picked up his phone and searched WeTube, trying to find the tutorial. I glanced up at him, and what I saw made me smile. His eyes were narrowed, his mouth in a thin line, and his jaw was set as he watched in utter concentration. I could even see his veins protruding from the way he gripped the phone. A short laugh escaped me as I watched him, and he turned to look at me. "What is so funny? Did you find this amusing?" "Yes, Richard, I find it amusing." "Well, I hate to break it to you, but there is nothing amusing here. It is a matter of life and death, and I can't afford to screw it up. If I do, I know you will never let me live it down." "Of course I won't let you live it down if you ruin my hair, so don't fuck it up." I threatened him, baring my canines. "Yes ma'am." He said this before reaching out to pinch a nipple. "Ouch, Richard!" I recoiled; the nipple was very sensitive. "What did you do that
With the help of my nose, I followed Richard's scent till I got to the room where his scent was more concentrated. I found him sitting on a chair beside his mother, his hands holding hers in a tight grip. The sight I saw had me holding back tears. Richard's mom has always been a strong figure; I don't think I have ever seen her dull and inactive. She was always involved in the hospital's dealings, and she was always around to make sure everything was in place. I must say, it was sad to see her on the bed, looking frail and worse for wear. I dragged the lone chair I saw lying around towards Richard and sat down. "What is wrong with her?" "I don't know. Gamgam said she couldn't put a finger on what was wrong with her. I would have said it was old age, but she isn't that old." He explained, caressing his mother's hand. I looked at her lying lifeless on the bed. White hair was sprinkled all over her head. Her eyes were shut tight in pain, and she was constantly groaning in her sleep.
