I blinked open and felt a heavy weight on my chest. I looked down and shrieked in surprise to see the panther, Indigo laying on me and purring softly. I scrambled to the end of the bed in shock but the panther didn’t move from the spot and gave me a bored look before resting on its paws.

I looked around the room and saw Elaine sitting on the floor beside the bed and he was busy playing with her tail and giggling.

“You are so silly, Mummy. Indigo won’t hurt you. She is a good girl” He said and purred the animal who purred in response and even licked Elaine’s hand and he burst into another fit of giggles.

“Stop, indie, it tickles”

I sat back down hesitantly and looked at the animal who seemed to be better. It seems whatever Elena gave it was successful in helping it recover quickly but that didn’t explain why it was on my bed, on me.

“Zion” I called out “Where is your daddy, baby?”

“He is making breakfast in the kitchen” Elaine said happily and I understood why. We were used the kitchen

    It’s been just a few hours since Zion left with Elaine, leaving just me and Indigo in the house but she had already grown on me. It didn’t help that she kept trailing behind me wherever I went and it was funny. If I got out of her sight for a minute, she would come barrelling through the house, sniffing everywhere to know where I was. I looked behind at my new shadow where she laid sprawled on the kitchen floor as I did the dishes. I had to take her to Elena this morning so I missed out on training with Isaac so I could get a few things done before I took her to the pack clinic. “Are you going to follow me into the bathroom when it’s time for me to take a bath? Zion would kill you before that happen” I said playfully with a chuckle. I arranged the dishes into the racks and headed to my room so I could take a shower. When I entered the bathroom, Indigo attempted to follow me but I stopped her before she could get into the bathroom.“No, No, No, where do you think you are going? Sit”

    `I clung to Zion’s arms as we walked towards Astrid’s hut. Indigo ran ahead of us as though she knew exactly where we were going. I was still shaken by the incident earlier and it made me so scared that the person who was trying to kill me had gotten so close without anyone noticing. We aren’t safe at all.Before we left, Zion had ordered for some warriors to be stationed outside our door but I refused. It would be too overwhelming to see them guarding the door. It was like a constant reminder that I wasn’t safe. We had argued about it but he finally relented and allowed me to have my way.I was no longer the weak girl that was taken from my pack. I was stronger and a better fighter. I wanted to believe that I would be able to take care of myself in case anything happened even though I hoped nothing would happen.I hoped that Astrid had some answers for us. She had been searching for answers on the poison that was used for so long and I was already close to giving up hope that she wou

    I pushed my food around in my plate, unable to eat a single bite. My insides were still trembling after the visit to Astrid. I know she told me not to worry but I couldn’t help but think of the part where she said the person had decided to finish what he started and very soon.I wasn’t ready at all. I know early I kind of boasted about my fighting skills but I was terrified. It felt like my insides were twisted in a painful manner and I couldn’t breathe well.“Genny” Lily called and I looked up from my plate to meet her concerned gaze “What’s wrong? Are you still thinking of what Astrid said?”I tried to smile at her but it came out as a grimace instead. We were having dinner in the pack kitchen and I could not find it in me to join in their little discussions.“Don’t worry about a thing. You have all of us, we would never let anything happen to you” Lily reached out to give my hand a little squeeze.“She is right, Gen. We will protect you. Have you forgotten we are the most powerful

    My head was spinning. I didn’t want to believe the person looking back at me with so much hatred was Ethan. My brother who I thought was dead. No, Ethan can’t be alive.“Ethan? How is this possible? How are you alive?” I was losing my breath and Zion rushed over to my side to pick me up “I saw you die” I screamed.I saw Indigo tense on top of him and my eyes finds her claws on his neck, ready to rip it out if he even tried to move.“Indigo, stop it” I yelled, running towards her to push her off him “Let him go, he is not a threat” I cried out but she didn’t move. She saw him as a threat and she was not going to let him go.“Zion, tell her to get off him. She is going to hurt him” I ran to his side.“Geneva, please calm down and examine the situation. He is here with that woman. I think he is the one that has been trying to kill you all this time”“What are you saying? He is my brother, Zion. He would never try to harm me.

    THREE YEARS LATER...I was taking a walk through the garden towards the back of the pack house because my feet hurt and I needed to visit Ethan. It was swollen and Elena advised that I took as many walks as I could to alleviate the pain.I was due to give birth any moment from now and was not supposed to wander too far from the pack house but Elaine was with me.“Mom, are you okay? Do you need to sit for a minute?” He asked worriedly as I wobbled for a minute.“No, I’m fine. I need to stop sitting down every time.” I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me.When we got to where Ethan was buried, Elaine wandered off with Indigo leaving me alone. There was a chair beside the grave from the last time I visited.“Hey, Ethan. I came to say goodbye. I’m going to have a baby soon and I’ve decided to let go of my past, including you. I should have listened to Zion about not burying you here in the pack house but then I was desperate and wanted to hold on to the only family

    Today was meant to be a beautiful night. One meant to blossom into beautiful memories to last me a lifetime. It was a full moon tonight which meant the wolves were at their strongest. It was a night that we always looked forward to, that I had looked forward to since it was my first time joining the pack hunt as an adult. In our pack, you could only take part in the pack hunt when you turned 18 which I did five years ago but I didn’t get my wolf then so I couldn’t take part. It was embarrassing and I had almost gotten depressed from it because it was a shame for the alpha’s only daughter not to get her wolf but I finally did three days ago on my 23rd birthday. My parents were surprised when I suddenly got my wolf but the pack seer said it was a rare occurrence but not uncommon. My family were too excited because I finally got my wolf after being worried for so long so they didn't dwell on it. During the hunt, the adults would run as a pack for hours, relishing in their heightene

    The cold was even worse on this dreadful night. I was shivering so badly and my brother tried his best to shield me from the harsh weather but he needed the warmth he was trying to provide way more than I did.I felt terrible but I was also aware that there was nothing I could do to make him change his mind so I just kept quiet and burrowed myself deeper into his arms and the little warmth he provided. The monsters who did this to us were glaring at us but they had not yet uttered a word to any of us after they brought us here. I dared to look back at the pack house and could not stop the whimpers that left my lips as I took in the sight of our once beautiful pack house now brought to rumbles and ashes as it burned behind us. I silently prayed to the moon goddess to save us from this disaster but it seemed she wasn’t listening to any of us today. Has she turned her back on one of her own? Did we commit a great sin against her and now she was punishing us? I quickly dragged myself fr

    “Grab him” The alpha instructed and before I could ask what was happening and who they were referring to, two of his pack members stalked forward and grabbed dad roughly. They lifted him and mom slid from his arms to the floor while they made him stay on his knees.“Mary, are you alright” Dad tried to free himself so he could touch mom but he was very hurt and the men had a very tight grip on him so he couldn’t escape their hold no matter how hard he struggled. “Dad, Dad, leave him alone” I cried and made a move to go to him but I was held back by someone who tossed me to the ground again. I wanted to wince but I had been hurt a lot already so my body was slowly going numb from the rough handling. Mom only groaned in reply and it was barely audible that if we didn’t have enhanced hearing, we would have been unable to hear her. I left Joseph’s hand and crawled to mom’s side so I could check up on her. I pushed against the man that still had his hands on me and he let me go so I craw

    We were having dinner in the pack house’s kitchen and it was one of those rare days when Jamie, Isaac, Elena, Lily and even Zion was present. Things have been slow lately so everyone was less busy. The pack was peaceful and it gave us enough time to connect and do things together.“Where is Elaine?” Lily asked as she took a bite of the chicken Emily had grilled to perfection earlier.“He is playing with the other pups. I can’t get him to stay in one place even to eat” I complained and they all burst out laughing.“He takes after you. You are so difficult to handle” Elena comments and I throw the napkin beside me at her face.They’ve all come to accept Elaine as me and Zion’s pup naturally and sometimes they referred to him as though I gave birth to him, always claiming that he takes certain traits from me or Zion and it made me happy.Elaine has also settled in as being our pup too well. The room Zion made for him was beautiful and Elaine actually cried when he first saw it. Zion may

    I knocked on Zion’s office door, my heart was pounding in my chest. I wanted to tell him immediately before I chickened out. Adopting Elaine out of the blue was something that would change our lives and I really want him to agree with my decision.“Come in” Zion called from the other side. I don’t even know why I knocked when I could have just gone in. I guessed I needed time to gather my thoughts.I pushed the door open with shaky hands and entered the office. Seeing his rugged look made me fall in love with him all over again. I missed him so much even though we slept in the same bed last night.His face lit up into a smile when he saw me. He closed the files he had been going through and stood up. I watched with a small smile as he walked over to me and pulled me into a hug.“Hey, beautiful. What brings you here? Are you okay?”He pressed his lips to mine in what was supposed to be a chaste kiss but I clung to him, deepening the kiss because I missed him so much. He had been too qu

    “Elaine, stop running baby or you’ll hurt yourself” I yelled from where I sat under the huge tree and watched him run around the large field chasing butterflies with the other pups.There was a smile on my face as I watched him giggle and push the other pups lightly. We have been spending almost every day together since Zuri left since I wanted to give Zion and Emily the space they needed. Zion wasn’t taking Zuri’s leaving well. He had been moody, not to me but to the others. He doesn’t talk much or eat much.I wanted to comfort him but I knew he needed time and space to miss her and accept that the decision was the best for Zuri. Elaine was the perfect remedy to distract me from everything. He always made me laugh with his antics and he was annoyingly curious and was always in my face asking the weirdest questions.“You can take your eyes off him for a minute. He won’t disappear or get hurt if you continue reading that book in your lap” Lily said with a laugh and I turn to glare at h
