It was the next morning, the pale blue sky was floating with white clouds, the breeze blowing the leaves beside the road, the birds leaping back and forth on the tree, as if telling people that a new day had begun. The birds chirped on their trees and they made a rhythmic sound.Dewdrops, rolling along the dandelion and clover dreams, splashing a piece of transparent sunlight. In a golden squeak, hatch a dawn that is no longer wet.Kelsey yawned and rubbed her blurry eyes, she rose up from her tiny bed and stretched. She was happy the day she had been waiting for has come, she was happy she would be able to get away from Sean and his brother and very soon she will be out of the pack.She jumped joyously, her face showed how excited she was to start the day. She carried her bags and put them in a place.She rushed to the bathroom and took her bath, she hummed a song and danced under the shower, her happiness knew no bounds. She stepped out of the shower and dried her hair.Kelsey appli
Kelsey ran to her sister and picked her up, she tapped her cheek but Karin wasn't responding, "Hey, hey wake up", she said.Karin's eyes were still shut. Kelsey laid her on the cushion and ran to the kitchen, she opened the refrigerator and took a bottle of water. Kelsey ran back to Karin and sprinkled the water on her face.Karin opened her eyes almost immediately, "What...what ..what happened", she stuttered.Kelsey gave her a weird look, "You passed out", she replied. Karin cranked her eyes as she tried to remember what happened. She remembered real quick but she still couldn't believe what Dennis said, "Did you say Kelsey is your mate?", she asked.Dennis looked at her with a smile, his white teeth flashed at her, "Yes I did", he responded."Are you sure she is the one?", Sean asked and looked at Kelsey disgustingly, "Are you sure you are not mistaken?, I mean who would want someone like her as a mate", he added.Dennis growled, he saw the way Sean looked at Kelsey and he wasn't
Lesley kept her face out of the window all through the ride, she seemed to be in a mood. Dennis kept looking at her, he felt something was wrong with her.He saw for himself what Kelsey's family were but he thought it would be too quick for him to interfere without telling him to.Dennis cleared his throat, "Kelsey", he called but he got no answer, he looked at Kelsey and she was so lost in thought, "Kelsey", he called again and Kelsey shook, "Are you okay?", Dennis asked, he knew something was wrong. Kelsey faked a smile, "Yeah...yeah, I'm...I'm fine", she stuttered.Dennis was not convinced, "I know you are lying, I can feel it, there is something wrong", he mumbled.Kelsey , "I... I...I am fine, I am okay", Kelsey stammered."Tell me the truth, tell me what is wrong with you", Dennis pestered.Kelsey looked at him and withdrew his gaze immediately, she bent her head, "I don't know if I'm happy or sad, I don't really know how I feel", she grumbled.Dennis sighed, "Well, from the li
Lucy turned to Dennis in confusion, Dennis was also confused about why she kept repeating her name, "What is wrong Lucy?", he asked.Lucy looked at Kelsey again, she stared at her, it wasn't with the normal stare she gave her before, "Are you sure you are Kelsey?", she asked, raising her eyebrows.Kelsey noticed her reactions and her face fell, she couldn't figure out what Lucy had with her, she kept repeating her names."Yes she is Kelsey, so?", Dennis flared, he wasn't comfortable with Lucy's reactions and actions."Isn't she the girl without a wolf?", she asked pointing to Kelsey, "How come she is your mate?", Lucy asked."Lucy", Dennis shouted."Why are you getting so worked up Dennis?", she asked, Lucy was so naive, "I only asked a question, I just want to know if she is the girl without a wolf", she continued.Dennis sped to her and picked her up, "Don't you dare say another word about her", he roared."Let me down, what is all this about. Let me down please", Lucy pleaded.Kels
Dennis watched Lucy go out of the house, he turned to Kelsey and smiled, "I'm sorry, Lucy can be annoying sometimes", and he apologized for Lucy's behavior. Kelsey smiled, she was comfortable with Lucy and she seemed to her like an interesting person with a great personality, "I love her", she murmured. Dennis's eyes widened, and she looked up at her, "What!", he exclaimed and laughed, "Who would love Lucy?", he asked, he pretended like he doesn't love her too. Kelsey smiled and shrugged, "I will pack this", she said and bent to pack the broken pieces of glass. Dennis held her hands, "Let it be, I will do it", he stopped her and walked to the kitchen. He picked a small bowl and went back to the main room, Dennis bent and picked the broken pieces, he made sure he left no pieces on the floor. He went to the kitchen and returned after washing his hands, "Come on, I will take you to your room", he said to Kelsey and she followed him. Dennis packed the bag and Kelsey walked behind hi
Dennis ended his call with Troy and went back into the kitchen where he met Kesley washing up the dishes they used in eating. "I hope you enjoyed the food?" He said as he strolled to where she was standing, he collected the plate from her and helped her rinse it, clean it up and place it on the sink.Kesley found it absurd but relaxed and smiled at him. " I did, although I wasn't expecting it to turn out nice, you've proved yourself to be a good chef." Dennis turned his face to hide his grin from her but Kesley caught him and burst into laughter. "You can say that again."The both of them kept making small talks whilst they cleaned up the kitchen.Kesley felt really happy with how much peace she had now that she was away from her family, although things at the Alpha's place wasn't really what she expected and it's just still the first day, she was still content with not being on edge whenever she heard Sean's or his brothers voice. Above all, she was happy she was a step into getting
Chapter Seventeen The day of the mating announcement came quite too fast for Kesley, she woke up with dread for how the announcement ceremony would go.She had just had lunch which Alpha Dennis prepared like he said and was now sitting alone in the living room with a book she found in one of the rooms in her hand.Kesley stared at the book in her hands but not a single word of it made sense. In fact, the letters seemed so jumbled and blurred that she just had to close it and focus on the dread she'd been trying to push back on her mind.The fear of how the people would react to her being their Luna was heavy on her mind. Although it was all a pretense, only herself and the Alpha knows about it she knew she would have to act like she really is the pack's Luna."How am I supposed to even act like someone I'm not?" She muttered getting up to her feet she strolled the length of the living room pondering and thinking up scenerios of how wrong the mating announcement could go."What have I
Chapter EighteenSean stared hard at her as if he could look right through her.His stare made Kesley shiver in fear, he still had the ability to instill fear in her with just a look.Kesley wanted to smile at him, but the expression simply wouldn't form on her face so she mustered enough courage to give him a stare down too.Whilst their little exchange was on, Dennis was engaged in a discussion with his Beta and turned to her when he was done."It's time to announce our mating." "Isn't it too early, we just got here." Kesley said."Of course not, I do not plan to spend the whole night here, I'll prefer we announce it and get back home, I have a lot of things to do later tonight." He explained and turned just as soon as his Beta mounted the podium. Denis beta, Troy walked up to the stage, "Good evening everyone", he started."Good evening." They all chorused in enthusiasm, leaving all the frivolities to face him, the music playing in the background also stopped."I want to believe
After what seemed like seven eternities to Denis, ~b~ was finally done. He traced the car out of the pack to an abandoned village just outside of it. It was like a small community of outcasts and displaced wolves that have fallen from grace or that needed a place to hide. A town of misfits, simply put. “I already sent for your men.” Peter said tossing Denis the car key.“I don’t need my men to kill that bitch.” Denis answered stomping out of the room.“But you might need them to clean up after.” Peter yelled running after him.Denis drove like he had more than one life. He grip the steering wheel the same way he intended to grip Janet's neck and his jaw was clenched so tight.“You're going to get us both killed!” Peter yelled. He also enjoyed driving fast but Denis was way past his speed limit and he was beginning to cherish his life way more than he ever did.“Hold on tight.” Denis said and went even faster than before, speeding past all the cars on the vast road.They were sooner t
~b~ arrived at the hospital after he had put theentire pack on lockdown. He texted Denis to inform him of his arrival and Denis called and asked him to meet them at the last door to the left, upstairs where they went to check security footage but the only thing ~b~ heard over all the loud whispers of the nurses was security footage.The whole hospital knew there was something big going on, rumors had spread like wild fire but just like every rumor, none of them were accurate. It was all hear-say, everyone has a different story of the same incident. When ~b~ asked for directions to the room where Denis asked to meet, no one asked him questions like they would have on a normal day. Peter, Denis and Ophelia were staring at thecomputer screen, the CCTV footage from the nursery was playing. Everything that happened there earlier was unfolding right before their eyes. They all watched the nurses put the baby in their cot and leave. They also saw them wave to the nurse in charge of the bab
Denis stormed out of the room in anger pushing past Ophelia.“Make sure she’s fine.” He ordered pointing at an unconscious Kelsey before walking through the door. He ransacked his pocket to call the first person he always seems to call whenever there’s trouble. “There is a problem.” “I'll be right there.” ~b~ answered without any hesitations whatsoever “Wait.” Denis said without a warning that he was still on the phone and it almost made ~b~ jump out of his pants.“I need the entire pack on lockdown, no one goes in and no one goes out!”“Got it.” ~b~ said and this time remembered to end the call. Ophelia comes running towards Denis with yet another bad news. There’s only so much a man can take. “S—si—si” she stuttered because Denis' glare had made even the words scared of coming out.“Speak!” Denis yelled like he was not aware of the power of his glare.“Yo—yo—your wife.” His glare got even more intense, it was burning a whole through Ophelia's shaky body.“What happened to my
Kelsey was brought to the healer’s house where she was to deliver her babies. Denis puthis hand over her shoulder and tried to pacify her but Kelsey was not buying any of it. She continued to scream and unconsciously scratch Denis neck with her claws but Denis didn’t mind it. He knew she was in pain and he could almost physically feel her pain too.“It’s going to be okay.” He told her but she glared at him and yelled that it was not going to be.“My babies are not due yet!” She told him and even though he lost track of the due date while he was busy searching for her and didn’twhether she was right or wrong, he nodded in agreement. The healer finally came to save Denis from his wife and she was taken to the delivery room.She still continued to yell at the healer but the healer had seen enough women in labor in her laugh time to know that Kelsey's behavior was completely normal. “You need to explain why my babies are coming now instead of the due date!” Kelsey demanded and the healer
And there it was. The silence Denis literally killed for. Simon's manic laughter no longer filled the air and now what they were left with was Jerry’s silent sobs. “You better start talking if you know what’s good for you.” Denis said and Jerry starts to wail even louder. “I have no idea what he was talking about, I swear. Simon spent most of his years trapped inside a clinic, you can’t believe everything that came out of his mouth.” Jerry said vigorously wiping his tears while staring at Simon's body.“You’re the liar!” Kelsey shrieked. Denis arms were still wrapped around her keeping her in place. “I’m not lying I swear! I didn’t kill your parents.” Jerry continued to defend himself and it pissed Kelsey off even more. “I saw the fucking pictures, you sick stalker! I saw everything!” Kelsey finally blurted outhaving kept it in for too long, she had had enough of Jerry’s lies. Jerry went stiff, his tears that were falling endlessly seized and it seemed like something got stuck in
The road to the cabin was hardly even a road. It was just a thick fog of leaves and trees, basically a forest but with tire tracks.“I thought you said your family used to come here?” Denis growled at Jerry when the car bumped into something for the umpteenth time. “We used to, like a million years ago.” Simon snapped back, he was in an uncomfortable state at the back, therefore taking all the hit of the car. He’d bumped his head a million times, he was sure it was going to give in and crack anytime soon.“I think they’re building something out here.” Peter commented. “These tire tracks, they’re not just your regular tire tracks, it’s definitely from a heavy machine, look how deep it sunk.”“I don’t give a shit what they’re building, it’s out of my jurisdiction and I just want Kelsey.” Denis answered and increased his speed ignoring every bump on the way and letting Jerry bear the brunt of it “It’s the other way.” Jerry said pointing with his head.“You better not be bullshitting
Denis felt relief wash through his skin.Kelsey was fine. His woman was alive! He didn’t let the feeling of relief lag his brainthough.Kelsey was alive but she was also in danger and she had called him to rescue her. He couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.“Was that really Kelsey?” ~b~ asked worriedly when he saw the look on Denis' face. They were about to go another drive around the pack when he stopped walking and started acting like he was possessed and he could see ghosts but when he mentioned Kelsey, it started to make more sense.“Yes and I need your help with something.”Denis answered quickly. “What?” ~b~ asked readily. “I need you to help me find some place, Kelsey gave me a description but I can’t figure it out.”“Sure, I’ll grab my computer.” He said and ran back inside while Denis trailed after him with the same speed.Everyone turned to look at them when they burst through the door. “What’s going on?” Kate shrieked asking the question on everyone’s mind. “Kelsey reac
His call didn’t last as long as Kelsey would have hoped which was forever. He was back in a few minutes and he returned to his initial position, only this time his knife was no longer with him. He had mindlessly dropped it when his phone rang a few minutes before, but he was still unaware that it was missing.“I can’t say this enough but I’m going to make you miserable.” Simon said and Kelsey sobbed, dabbing her tears with the back of her left hand and concealing the knife. She had stretched herself beyond her capacity trying to get the knife when Simon dropped it and she had succeeded and her it hurt a little below her belly. “I’m going to make you mine forever but I’m never going to love you.” His words were like stab wounds to Kelsey’s heart. Make her his?Over her dead body. “I’m going to put my seed inside of you and make you even more beautiful than you looked when he met you. I’m going to parade you with my baby in your tommy all over his face but I’m never going to love
More days continued to pass and Kelsey couldn’t even keep track of when it was day or night, the cell was continuously dark and the silver cage was even worse. She had never been in such a small space for such a long period of time. Every part of her body ached and she wasn’t getting enough food. Simon only remembered to feed her at nightand on rare occasions he brought leftover pizza in the morning.She had no idea where she was, if she was still in the same city as Denis or even the same country and sometimes it felt like she was in an entirely different world.Her babies were kicking in her stomach uncomfortably. Everyday she prayed that she didn’t have to give birth to them in a silver cage. She talked to them when she was bored and sad and she was so sure that they listenedbecause they kicked her stomach in response. She told them stories like Denis used to every night even when she herself was asleep, she begged them to stay healthy and be patient for her to escape from the
