It was so obvious that I had been weeping for a very long with the way my face was. My face was bloodless, my eyes were completely red and swollen and I had had running nose. The cab man who drove me home kept on asking me what was wrong with me but I didn't answer him. He even wanted to get me off saying he couldn't keep a dumbass in his car. Maybe he was right, i was a dumbass, this was all my fault. Being a member of the Arrowhead pack family was my fault, being their servant was my fault, getting married to Lustrow was my fault, accepting to work as a teacher when Lustrow didn't want me to was also my fault, I knew it. I begged to just take me home because I didn't want to get to get down but he gave me conditions saying if I cried again he would throw me out without even thinking of its consequences. I agreed but I was still weeping inside of me because I couldn't just stop the tears from dropping on. Getting off the cab and paying the cab man, he gripped my arm. "You need to tak
I heard the quick running steps towards my door, I didn't know who it was until I heard; "What is wrong with Kevyra? What happened to her? I thought you told me she has gone to resume for her new job, how come she is in?" I heard Alpha Ailwyn's voice as he began to think harder on my door. "What could have happened to her, do you think she is fine Dessa?" "I don't know why I believe all these are happening because of Lustrow." Luna Dessa pointed and I straighened my ears to hear more. "Why did you say that? He was given several warnings, I am certain he would never want to try hurt Kevyra. That lady us such a Ketty cuddle, she doesn't deserve any maltreatment and I am sure my son wouldn't want to hurt her." Alpha Ailwyn defended Lustrow. "Maybe you are right, but Kevyra had left this morning why would she have returned home by this time of the day? It's just past nine. If Lustrow is the one behind this, I will not keep quiet this time. If I had known,
"But Lustrow... What is in there in your pocket that you showed to Kevyra that made her gasp? I actually saw you, I just ignored it because I did not know what it meant... I thought it was perhaps a husband and wife thing. Did you quieten her intentionally?" Ow! So, he saw him when he did that? I looked at Lustrow whose countenance suddenly became puzzled and rough. He palpebrated his eyes repeatedly and looked at Alpha Ailwyn again, with a look of 'what did you just say'. I looked up at him, now waiting for what he was going to say, while Luna Dessa slowly stood up from me. "Dad...? What do you mean? What did I show to Kevyra. What are you insinuating dad..? That I didn't want Kevyra to talk... I don't geddit, please." "Can you just show me what's in there in your pocket? You mom was suspicious of you, she suspected that you did this to Kevyra but I doubted it until I saw that menacing glower you sent to her... So show me what is there." Thank goodness! Now they
The truth was I was genuinely befuddled when I heard him say that. I could not remember the particular time I mentioned that I thought he was lusting after me or lust for me, whatever. Really, that sudden action raced my heart and increased my blood pump. He qualified me wet and frigid but still forced himself in me all the time? He made me a toy for himself and still said that about me? Why then did he always do it? I might be frigid to him because I was never interested doing anything with him but he should not have said that to me. That was an insult to my personality and I was angry but I could not do anything because I was always helpless. I felt a wet substance on my forehead as I tried sitting up, it was like it dripped from my head to my forehead because I was just feeling the wetness. I reached up and touched it. A liquid which had stained the tip of the finger I used to touch it. It was red. I was bleeding? Just as I looked up at Lustrow, I found out my f
"Hope you have got an excuse for the cuts and bruises on your face... You dare not tell anyone that I am the one who hit you, or are you planning to? I can get you -" Lustrow suddenly puased as if he was choked on his saliva but his eyes were dilated as he looked up, his head tilted up and if was as if he just saw a ghost in the room, he looked very shocked and horrified that even I had begun to fear. He slowly swallowed and blinked and slowly he released his clutch on my wrist. Oh, just with his grip my wrist had bruised. What could have make him look so scared to death? I thought. I was in a laying position, my head facing the ceiling so I managed myself up despite how painful my ribs were, to see what was going on behind me and that was when caught the sight of the figure... Leoric.. standing at the entrance of the room with a bouquet of flowers and a board, with three words inscribed on it, *I AM SORRY* in his hand. He looked angry and shocked, now leering at I and Lustrow. I
It was very obvious that Lustrow was angry, very angry with the way he had been huffing and puffing, fumbling with the keys on his laptop which was on his desk. He was the one who called me here, be told me to come to his office, but trust me really, I was fed up of sitting here alone, no attention. It was as if he didn't know I was in even though I knew he knew. He was not looking at my side at all, so why did he call me here? To occupy the empty space in his office? I was already losing my patience but I would have to be more patient. I sat relaxed on a soft, comforting sofa in his office, staring at the ceiling. I was waiting for the time he would say something. Although, I also had the plan of coming here to see him, I had something important to tell him. Eventually, after several minutes of waiting, he spoke. Could he have called me here because he wanted me to just be here with him? The thought crossed my mind but I quickly drove it away. I was not a toy, I thought to
I and Lustrow quietly stared at each other with smiling faces for a long while. I saw his eyes deliberately travel from my head down to my toes and then back again. His expression was still not saying anything and perhaps it was, I was the one who could not decipher what it was but I could at least feel the intensity from his eyes as he looked at me, giving me confidence that maybe he really found me attractive, the way I looked... All these was for him though. It wasn't because I didn't have enough confidence in myself, I knew that I looked beautiful, especially that night, but this man right in front of me was a whole other stage. I wouldn't blame him if he turned around suddenly and told her I barely passed his standard. Yes, that was the kind of person he was, unpredictable and short-tempered, only goodness knows how his family coped with it, whenever he was angry he usually lost his mind, he wouldn't know he was ripping your shirt of hurling negative words at you. I eve
"I want you to to divorce Kevyra today and you must reveal to every one that I am your soulmate, an Alpha can not find his real mate, loves her and still reject her because he's married to someone who isn't his real mate... Try to geddit, and I am sure your father will also understand that better than you will, he experienced... I don't want to do these things in secret anymore, I want to become Mrs. Lustrow Silvers, I want every one to know that I am a Luna of the Silver pack." I told him while he stared at me with some kind of a disgusted look. "What do you think you are talking about? What nonsense are you saying? I should tell lie to my family members, saying that you are my mate or what? And you expect them to like you and accept you? I don't expect your thought to be so lame, really... w -w -what's all these rubbish talks?" I knew he was perhaps going to burst out and he had. "Do not tell me this is what you wanted to discuss with me." "It is... Lustrow. Yes, tha
"My Lord..." Leoric stood up. "It's quite simple, it's very easy for a criminal to gather as many as possible fake things just to prove him or herself nor guilty and that's what Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa did, with you permission, I will like to call out three people who has been working for Silver pack for years just to testify. Whatever they say should be your reason for judgement." What was Leoric upto this time? I didn't have an idea of this new plan of his. Looking at faces of the Silver pack members, they were feeling awkward. Who could it be that Leoric wanted to call out? He didn't even tell me about it, he kept everyone in suspense as he was yet to call out the names of the people. "Permission is granted. You can call out anyone you wish, if they are able to convince the court, then you will be victorious but if they fail to prov
"Ailwyn!" The head pack called his name loud and clear. Alpha Ailwyn's eyes flared up as he slowly stood up from his chair, awaiting the head pack's next order. Not just his heart must have jolted up but everyone's because no one knew what he was going to say next. The air was again tensed, everyone sat still, nervous, sick and eager. The head back signalled him to move to the box which he did immediately. One could see that he was so uneasy. Reaching the box, the plotter stood up. "Alpha Leoric, you must have heard all the allegations. It was explicit indeed, which means you understand the concept of what was said. How do you plead, are you guilty or not?" "How many times will I tell you I am not guilty that it's all false accusations? Do you want me to go up the hill and declare it the to the whole world that I ain't guilty? This is an embarrassment and I don't expect any of you to keep here for so long." Alpha Ailwyn shouted angrily at the plotter but he remained calm
The courtroom was filled with different categories of personalities, people with high status and some people I never saw in the town. The air was still and tense. To break the tension, people try to make conversations in low voices. Harolden and Lustrow was there, glancing at where I and Leoric was sitting now and then. Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa were sitting some where else but yet, they were not stable. It was as though they didn't know why there were being called to court. The plotter suddenly sprung to his feet. The murmuring fades away. We all stood up when the head of packs entered the courtroom. He took his seat. The audience sat. The plotter gave him a file. "We have no time to waste, call the first case." He said. "The first case, Alpha Ailwyn Lochlain Silver and Luna Dessa Ailwyn Silver." There was silence as Luna De
When Leoric said he would be going to report the case to the head pack, I thought he was kidding. I didn't expect it to be so soon, how would we even start? What would we say happened? Leoric sat there in the morning arranging the documents we got from his mother, as he cross checked the documents, tears coursed down from his eyes. I knew he was having the memories of his mother. I felt so lonely but when he saw me coming out of the other room, unaware that I had been watching him he quickly wiped off his tears. "Will you have some tea this morning? It's snowing." I asked him and he nodded. I went to prepare his tea and gave it to him. "Leoric!" I called. He looked up wearing a smile. "Yes?" He answered. "How are you feeling this morning? I mean, I saw you." "I am okay, you don't have to bother, all o
"Enough Lustrow!" Alpha Ailwyn raised his hand up. "You sent them to go after Leoric but you are afraid to go... You must be very careful with the way you give orders to your soldiers. If you are scared of getting killed, why are you then sending your soldiers?" "If that's the case, Alpha Ailwyn... Why don't you go and look for him yourself... You are experienced, you should know more about your son, since you are not scared of him I suggest you go to him yourself." "What!?" Lustrow, Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa exclaimed at Harolden's statement. "What are you saying?" Luna Dessa pulled her to face her. She was talking with no control, this could enrage Alpha Ailwyn but she couldn't understand. "Do you even know whom you are referring to? How dare you speak to Alpha Ailwyn in that manner? Do not overstep your limi
In the morning when Leoric opened his eyes with the burning lights of the sun, he saw her bare back in front of him. She was sleeping comfortably like a baby, all innocent, all unaware of the harsh realities and necessities of the world. This was what he wanted, he wanted peace of mind for him and his wife, they were getting it because there was no one to come disturb them up there because no one knew of their whereabouts. His one hand was resting near her belly button, he was trying to feel his baby which was in her womb and that was also probably because he was caressing her to help her sleep peacefully without disturbance. He supported his head with the other hand of his and tilted himself up a bit up on the bed and his eyes got immersed in the beauty of her body, all alabaster, milky, all spotless and smooth. He ran his fingers to her back. Eve
Just as I fell down to the floor after blow punch I got in the rib, Suddenly, I heard a yelp of a wolf which I knew raised a red flag.. I was down hearted, a curse almost escaped my lips. I looked up just to see one of the black wolves galloping towards me, its claws were out and I knew it had only come for my protruded stomach which I knew was one of the reason we were bring chased, it was apparent from its eyes. They must have concluded that Leoric was the one responsible for my pregnancy. Not having the strength to defend myself, I shut my eyes waiting for what was going to happen next. This would be fate not a curse, if we were destined to be held captive then we would be but I hoped not... I was terrified nevertheless. It was a fast swish! I heard the sound of a object like a knife slashing through something which also sounded like a flesh... It was me, my heart jumped up to my throat at the thought. I shot my eyes opened when I couldn't feel any pain, and then I saw the de
"Alpha Lustrow, I am telling you the truth... He has killed so many soldiers. Alpha Leoric stole away with that pregnant maid, Silene!" He told and they all rose up at the same time ejaculating.. "What!?" "I am telling the truth my lord, please... You can come to see it yourself, he dumped the dead bodies of the soldiers in the tunnel...." Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa not wanting to hear anything he was saying again, they stormed out of the dinning hall to see if what the soldier was saying was true and Lustrow went after them. They went to check the tunnel the soldier mentioned and they found a pile of dead bodies of soldiers in the tunnel. They were so shocked and dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that Leoric could do such a thing. Just as they were pondering on the reason Leoric absconded with Silene, another maid ran to them falling on her knees. She was shivering as she was trying to say something. "What is wrong with you?" Harolden asked her with a slap.
"Silene, it's time you closed your eyes now." Just as he said, his fingers began to elongate. Straight and with sharp, glittering edges with pointed tips. I closed my eyes and tried not to listen to any sound around me but the rhythm of my own heart. The sound that would give me the peace of mind and not make me feel distressed. We were still moving quickly on the horse and while my eyes were closed all I could hear, from the right to the left was the sound of fleshes being ripped. The washing sound of blood as it spluttered to the floor and the sounds the flesh made as the claws sunk into them. I was tempted to open my eyes by the groans of the soldiers, to see how they were being killed but Leoric kept ringing it to my ears and I kept my eyes still shut. He knew I could lose my consciousness at the sight of it. Leoric rode as fast as he could, making sure he kill all the soldier
