" Woah Woah... Roman, you can't just kill them. I thought you were giving them a choice" Josh said when he saw that Roman's eyes had changed to red and blue, depicting when he is most murderous. It was bold of Josh to even confront Roman at that stage but that was exactly what Roman was looking for - someone that is not afraid to look death in the eye. " Well, when I saw them I thought they were on my side already but it seems some of them are reconsidering and I can't afford that happening, especially when there are traitors in our midst," Roman responded. He was very much in control of himself and he could sort out the liars and traitors among them because whenever he looked at them all he saw were red figures. " Traitors? What are you talking about? These people have been through hell and are looking for a better leader who they can start over with and you want to murder them because they have a change of heart?"" No, I want to murder those who never wanted to join me in the fir
After Roman gave them a second chance, the remaining thirty surrendered to him. They swore to submit to his leadership and so did Josh and Caleb. But he did not want them to feel threatened and caged so he asked them to remain in one of the empty rooms and went out with Josh and Caleb. " Can't believe he locked us in here, " one of them said when Roman, Josh, and Caleb left. " Can't believe he killed Luke!" Another said in disbelief. " Why would you guys lie to us? We all came here because Josh and Caleb told us about a better future that we could build for ourselves, he was nice to us until he sensed you, traitorous idiots. Seriously what were you thinking when you came here huh? You really think Luke was worthy of creating a secret pack that could take out Roman?!" Dayna, a formidable woman in their midst asked. She was quite a beauty and so when she spoke, people would take a minute to look her up and down before they would snap out of a trance and address her statement and like
That night, Roman went over his plan with everyone involved and the rest were meant to guard Elora and his children while he was away. Caleb and Josh led one team to find Victoria while Roman led the other team to rescue Elora's friends and her mother.Roman was preparing to leave when Elora tapped him gently on his shoulders. " I need you to come back safely to me okay?" She said and he nodded. He didn't know which personality she was having at the moment so he chose to play it safe and just nod. He and his team slithered through the streets that night and got to his father's hidden prison in no time. Roman could sense that they were inside the prison but it was too guarded and this is where he needed the ten people who went with him. " How many guards are there?" He asked mind-linking with all of them at once. " Ten" they all responded but he shook his head and said," study their breathing pattern. You'll know that it's more than ten people," he said and they silently observed w
" No" Cody responded. " If you're going to be our leader then you should show us that you won't be leaving any of us behind. That's what a true leader would do" he added. Roman's eyes gleaned with anger as he glared at Cody, " they disobeyed me. They had their own agendas before coming here. This was supposed to be a quick mission and I sure as hell don't know when those people will send a guard replacement. If I were you, I'd shut up and follow the orders you're given" " Then maybe you should carry them by yourself." " Do you realize you're breaking -""- yes, I am breaking the oath because you're only using us for your advantage - very much like your father. " Cody interrupted while Roman smirked in response. " I take it that you're going with him too," Roman asked Tyler and when the boy didn't seem to know what to say, he lifted Giselle and threw him over his shoulder, then he stretched out his hand and Tyler reluctantly placed Jed over his shoulders. " I could carry two," De
Elora did not know that she had been switching personalities. There were moments when she could tell that she was saying things that she wouldn't tell Roman normally but she couldn't control it, especially when she starts feeling a certain way that made it look like she was being an entirely different person. She was sulking all day until Roman returned. Dayna and the other girls left after she fought with them. After everything, she regained herself and felt really awful about what was happening to her and the things she was saying to people unprovoked. " Hey Roman, welcome," she said smiling at him but her smile disappeared when she saw that he was drenched in blood from head to toe. Roman hated the way she looked at him. She looked absolutely terrified and scared, which meant to him that she was her normal self again. " Thanks," he said before he went to the bathroom to wash but when he got there and looked at himself in the mirror, he had terrible flashbacks of his teen years.
While Elora stayed with her mother and friends, Roman left the house and went to check on the people he rescued yesterday. His former foul mood was replaced with something slightly better - mild happiness. " Roman! Roman! I mean, Alpha Roman" Cody said as he ran towards him. " I see you're doing well," Roman said unable to smile at Cody but Cody didn't seem to have a care in the world." Yeah...I mean my body still hurts but when I saw my mother today...I don't know, I got so emotional at first, and then later I was like, totally energetic. Though it hurts like hell when I run, it was worth it because I was running to you"Roman looked him up and down and said, " are you trying to flirt with me?" " Is it me or are you totally not having any expression on your face? It looks like you're in pain" Cody said instead and it made Roman want to laugh but he couldn't. " Yeah, it's a side effect," Roman said. " Well...I know about this hack..." Cody said with a mischievous smile on his fa
" Roman!!!" Another person called just as Dayna was breaking the news to him. It was Elora. The love of his life. He watched as she walked towards him, tears in her beautiful eyes and her lips quivering with every step she took. She must've heard about what was coming and she must've been terrified. " Roman, please come with me," she said and pulled him with her back inside their own room. " I heard your father is coming for us," she said and Roman nodded. Strangely he wasn't as tense as he would've been years back. He just wanted to be able to think clearly and the only way he could do that was by not being tense. " Roman, are you listening to me? He must know where we are. What do we do? Should we run?" She asked holding his hands desperately. " Why would we run? It's best to get rid of him now. It's now or never" Roman responded with a reassuring smile. Elora didn't even notice that he could express himself now. She was too worried to notice that. She was more surprised that R
Elora remained indoors and didn't come out. She went straight to her children's crib and watched them wondering in her heart if she would be deemed a bad mother for not staying with them and fighting instead or if she would be called a coward for not helping her mate fight a necessary battle. What she knew for a fact was that if Roman dies she will hate herself. So she sat there and watched her children while thinking long and hard about the decision she had to make. As for Roman, immediately he left Elora and went back to find Cody and the others, he gathered them under the tree at the back of the building and said to them, " My father is coming. I'm sure you already know this but here is my request. I saved you all because I wanted to have people to lead when I eventually end my father's rule. I also wanted all of you to be a part of this fight but...there are children here who could get hurt and traumatized all over again." " What are you saying, Roman?" Cody asked. " I'm sayin
Elora getting her powers back was most definitely the highlight of the night. She spent the night showing off her abilities to her daughters. Arina and Elena were initially overcome with embarrassment when they saw the way they chickened out when their mom was in danger while Pandora seemingly handled it well. After a while, they gave a half-hearted apology and sat in the living room – that is what was left of the room since most of their mother’s wolves had occupied it to be with Elora. “ I think that’s enough show for today,” Elora said after seeing that it was late. “ But mom, this is literally the coolest birthday ever and you’re ruining it by telling us to go to bed,” Elena protested. “ And I’m about to ruin it even more because I have some questions,” Elora said with a sinister smile. “ Umm…on second thought I think I’ll just go to bed. Goodnight mom,” Arina said with Elena getting up to follow her when Elora commanded, “ Sit!” This time it was different because their mom w
Later that night, Elora went to Pandora’s room and found her asleep. She was going to leave when Pandora begged her not to leave. “ I’m not sleeping anymore,” she said and Elora nodded before she went back to sit beside Pandora on the bed and asked her, “ What has happened? I know that you aren’t really happy so what is it?” “ Remember the boy I told you about?” Pandora asked as she sat up and fiddled with her fingers. “ Yeah?” Elora said. She had suspected earlier that her plans to help Pandora win the boy over had failed, hence why Pandora was upset.“ Well he turned seventeen and…” “ Wait he is one of those wolves who get their mates at Seventeen?” Elora asked raising her brow in surprise. “ Yeah and that’s weird because his older brother who is nineteen got his mates at nineteen,” Pandora said Digressing a little. “ Mates?” “ Yeah. Lucky him I guess,” “ That’s not something I want you to be envious of,” “ I know,” Pandora said bowing her head a lot more as her mother scold
( BACK TO PANDORA) At school, Mason had heard that it was Elena and Arina’s birthday. Some students had even gotten so obsessed with the two sisters that they made banners and customized T-shirts to celebrate the girl’s birthday but what he couldn’t understand was two things: one, why Pandora is always so ignored. Two, why Pandora is the only one who was mocked about her ‘ family’s failures? He wasn’t a fan of the lies being told about Roman Hills their father but he thought that if people were going to mock Pandora and call her father a mad beast then it should apply to the other girls too. He had just gotten out of his car that he got for his seventeenth birthday - which he forbade anyone of his friends from celebrating or mentioning when he saw the two sisters giggling and laughing at some of the students who kept telling them how pretty they were and how some guys and girls were embarrassing themselves just to impress them. At this point, the two sisters were more idolized than K
When Gina and Aidan got back after talking with Elora about how things have been since Roman's disappearance, they felt quite depressed about the matter. " She didn't deserve that you know..." Gina was the first to talk." It doesn't seem right at all. Everything seems so...orchestrated" Aidan said. " Do you think that maybe...just maybe... someone did this to her out of spite" " It has to be him... Drew"" Drew..."" Think about it. He must've felt humiliated when Roman succeeded in destroying his father. Alpha Drake was the one person Drew held on to for hope. Drew betrayed his own father to become Alphas Drew's second in command. But Roman kills him but instead of them killing Drew, they spare him and give him control of New Moon Pack. Drew must've felt insulted and humiliated. He probably would've preferred to die instead of being spared to suffer humiliation. He must've done this to Roman and Elora out of spite - it has to be him, especially since he and Romans' father has lots
Elora went to bed that night and like every other night, she dreamt of Roman. He was still trapped in his wolf form but he was begging her to wait for him and that he would come back to her. She always looked forward to her night's sleep because it gave her the opportunity to see Roman's face again but this night, it made her cry. She missed him so badly and felt like she couldn't live without him but she was so lonely and she had no one to turn to. Suddenly, this repeated dream started to feel like a nightmare. It started to feel like she was holding on to something that doesn't exist. She wanted nothing more to do with a dream that gives her false hope so she forced herself to wake up from the dream. When she did, she was breathing heavily and sweating profusely despite the fan in her room blowing at the highest speed. Suddenly, she felt a presence in her room and when she turned to the window, she saw blue and green eyes peering at her in human form. " Mom...what is it?" She hea
Pandora's POVMy sisters and I never went to school at the same time so it was no surprise to anyone when I entered the class one minute late while everyone else was already seated. Our class was painted mint green - a color I despised and the writings on the wall spelled the name of our school - Blue Moon Highschool Rhevys branch. Our mother didn't think it wise for us to study at New Moon like we always did when we were living with our grandmother. So we were fairly new students as we have only studied here for a year. This was one of the decisions our mother man that made my sisters angry with her. They believed New Moon was better because while we were there, we were treated way better than here. At New Moon High, a lot of the truth was told when it came to the battle between our father and his father. Not the fabricated and made-up stuff that the students and even the teachers digested here. We were kind of revered and it was because the Alpha, Alpha Drew liked us. I heard that
Elora opened the door and gasped at the people she saw standing outside her door. She never thought she would see them again but yet they were standing right in front of her. " Gina, Aidan? I...I'm so happy to see you two!" She said with a smile before she stepped aside so they could come in. Gina looked perfectly fine. It was as if she didn't age a day and Aidan had gotten so much bigger than she recalled. He looked very happy to be with Gina and seeing them holding hands like that made her a bit sad because she had no one to hold on to, it couldn't kill the joy she was currently feeling because she finally got to see them after almost fifteen years. " It's so good to see you too," Aidan said giving Elora a big hug. It was Gina who was acting a bit awkward even when Elora hugged her. " Hi" Gina managed to say with a nervous smile. " Oh my gosh, come on over to the sitting room and have a seat," Elora said smiling from ear to ear as she ushered them to the sitting room. " How hav
After Roman had his bath, Elora was in the sitting room with their children. Roman wanted to stay with her but he needed to find Josh and Caleb. He had to know if they survived or not. After all, it was he who sent them on a fool's errand. " Please El, let me put some things in order. After that I'm all yours for the rest of the day and the night" he said when she wouldn't let him go. " Please..." He begged after kissing her senseless and then she yielded. He left and was surprised to see that Cody was hosting a party. " Cody, this is no time for a party. My father still had allies that I need to put in their place. Until then, there will be no parties - though I appreciate the thought behind it" he said." That's a bummer. I thought we would be free to do whatever we wanted for a while" Tyler complained." Yeah... we'll party our asses off after order has been restored permanently," Roman said. " I'm off to Blue Moon Pack by the way. I'll see you guys later." He added and said hi
