Her mind wandered away from the lecture easily. Jessica was thinking about a lot of things as she sat there in class that particular day. She thought about the possibility of a way to find her wolf immediately, Isabelle had told her this. She thought about the curse that lingered around Alpha Draven and whether it was possible for such a curse to be lifted. Jessica also thought about her new unlocked strength and she felt comfortable thinking about this because this clearly marked that she was not without a wolf after all. "Miss Lyon are you with us?" Her teacher, Mrs Derrick asked abruptly, bringing Jessica's train of thoughts to an immediate halt. "Y...yes Mrs Derrick." Jessica replied hastily and after a moment's stare, Mrs Derrick went on with her teaching. Jessica sat up and tried to pay close attention but then something caught her attention. Isabelle's two best friends were in the class but the former was absent. Isabelle was not one to miss a class or school, yet she was n
Jessica pressed the doorbell and stood back, hearing it echo its ding-dong from within. She stood in front of a semi-detached house she believed to be where Isabelle Lana lived. The house was surrounded by a well-trimmed hedge and a lawn well-trimmed as well. The house exuded wealth as Jessica observed it admiringly. Jessica heard no sound from within to indicate that her call was answered so she hit the doorbell again and waited calmly. Jessica was intending to hit the bell again when the door opened abruptly and without warning. A woman stood in the doorway dressed in a yellow top and a pair of jeans trousers. Jessica gathered immediately that this must be Isabelle's mother judging by their same color of eyes and hair. "Hello, can I help?" The woman asked. "Umm Miss Lana, hi. Is Isabelle within?" Jessica asked quickly. The woman turned immediately and called from behind. "Isabelle... There's someone here to see you."Jessica stood at the door uncomfortably waiting. She didn't w
"You seem surprised." Mr Lana laughed when he noticed Jessica's unease. "Don't be surprised. Knowing things is what I do." He winked. Jessica however remained skeptical and all of a sudden, she felt insecure sitting there with Mr Lana. "I should probably go now." Jessica said as she stood up abruptly. "Of course Jessica." Mr Lana nodded casually. "Of course. You need to return to your family. I imagine they'll be really worried now."Without another word, Jessica left the room, walking back home as quickly as her little legs would carry her. And as she left, her mind continued reeling about the the events that had occured that day. She could not shake off the feeling of being watched and even though she had stopped twice to scan her environments, Jessica could not see anyone in sight. She turned and sped on quickly, eager to reach the safe confirms of the pack residential building. ***"How is this possible? Who authorized this?!" Alpha Landon thundered at the men who had disturbed
"Alfredo was my most trusted servant! He was the very best! Who is this little boy you've replaced him with?" Landon thundered. "This is Tom. He's my nephew." Zoe replied. "Tom? Your nephew? That's why you saw it fit to fire an experienced servant isn't it? We talked about this, did we not?" Landon asked angrily. "Wait outside Tom." Zoe said to the new personal servant. The boy turned to walk about. "Don't you dare move an inch." Landon growled at the boy and the boy stopped in his tracks. "You take this boy away from this place and you'll bring back Alfredo as fast as possible or else.....""You'll what?" Zoe snapped. "You'll cast me away the way you did to Jessica Lyon? I'm your Luna Landon, and I don't have to cower and hang on your every word. I'm not your servant."Landon was taken aback by Zoe's words. He had never ever imagined that Zoe would fire back at him this way but here he was, receiving it from his newly wedded wife. "I'm your Luna Landon. It means I have a level
The next days went on in a blur for Jessica. Isabelle continued with her anger towards Jessica and her reluctance to even talk to Jessica. Jessica on her part decided to keep her distance too. Alpha Draven was hardly seen around and he stopped his frequent visits to the school. This was the normal way everything was, before the arrival of Jessica to the pack. Jessica, with her now heightened strength had accepted finally and whole heartedly that she was going to find her wolf eventually. She focused more in school and even more so when it came to the trainings while carefully staying away from Isabelle and her cronies. Thus did Jessica continue her life at blood moon pack. "It's been days now since the Alpha last visited. Any chance you'd know why he hasn't dropped by lately?" A boy in Jessica's class asked. Jessica was paired with him for science practicals and Andy was using this opportunity to nag at Jessica. "How I'm i supposed to know?" Jessica replied nonchalantly, focused o
The hall was packed as usual with students chattering away and getting ready for training. As usual they had to pair up and Jessica knew she was going to have a hard time getting a partner. As she was having this thoughts, her eyes quickly caught Vicky Norbert standing few yards from her. Jessica quickly walked over to where Vicky stood. "Hello there Vicky." Jessica greeted. Vicky wheeled about quickly and her eyes met Jessica's smiling face. "Hi.. Jessica." Vicky replied tentatively. "Let's team up Vicky. Let's train together." Jessica offered. Vicky stared at her for a moment. "I.. I..." Vicky was about to talk when a hand wrapped around her shoulder and Chloe emerged. "Sorry Jessica. Vicky had already agreed to train with me." Chloe smiled up at Jessica. Jessica frowned slightly as she regarded Chloe. She had half a mind to talk back, to give back Chloe a piece of her mind but then she thought better about it and walked off quietly. Jessica quickly scanned the room. Everyon
Alpha Draven was sitting in the conference room at the pack house. There was no meeting scheduled that day, the Alpha only wanted to sit there that day. As he sat there, his mind raced with different thoughts. He thought about Jessica then he thought about Alpha Nathan and his proposal, he thought about his diminishing stock of Wolfsbane and then he thought about Jessica. Whatever the Alpha would do, Jessica would come creeping back into his mind. He thought of how Jessica had turned and walked away from him and he got angry all at once. He suddenly grabbed a glass cup from the table and squeezed in his powerful grip. The glass shattered immediately sending pieces down his body while his palm got wounded and started bleeding immediately."Is everything okay Alpha?" Beta Asher was sitting close to the window engrossed in some reports that Alpha Draven was supposed to go through. "Everything is great." Draven replied flatly. He tore a piece of cloth from the curtain and began to banda
"Leave," Draven ordered and Penny gathered her things and left immediately. Draven turned to Asher. "What if we reinforce the chains?" Draven asked."I'd say it's still a waste of time Alpha. We both know without the Wolfsbane you could easily break free from those chains that hold you." Asher replied.Draven went quiet for a while. "I think it's time we broker a deal with Nathan after all." He said."But Alpha, Nathan......""Do you know where you could get over 500 pounds of Wolfsbane Asher?""Not at the moment. No Alpha." Asher replied."We'll take Nathan up on that offer except you want to risk me escaping from my containment and murdering half of the pack in two days times," Draven explained. "Send word out to Nathan. We'll be needing Wolfsbane." Draven said. "Lots of Wolfsbane."***Jessica was sitting at a park bench alone, watching children play happily on swings. Jessica on her way from school had decided to stop at the park and free her mind before returning to the pack hou
