Back then if anything were to happen to you, it was my fault, even as a baby if you were to cry I would be beaten for it, even if I was not in the room or house when you cried, you were their king and I was just a common salve that should answer to your every wimp” I could see the shock and pity on his face but I was not done, I just hope he would not hate me after it all “I knew you were just a baby and it was not your fault you easily got irritated and so I made sure nothing happened to you and always protected you not just because I was you big sister but because if anything did happen I was going to pay for it, when you got old enough to understand what was happening mum and dad tired to make you into them, so you could hate me as well but you never did, when I was starved you would always steal it for me and let them know it was you that stole and ate it so they won’t come after me, you were proud to tell everyone I was your sister and even defended me from them and that was why
*Candace pov* I was really grateful to Selene that my sister was alright and very healthy, from what she has told me there were a lot of ways things that could have easily gone very badly very quickly but instead she survived them all, I am not really shocked regarding who she is, she had always had a fighters spirit about her even when we were kids growing up, she did not know how to quit and mostly beat up those who challenge me because they mostly get tired before she does, she would ware you out until you submitted and nothing could ever bring her down. “So what about you? What is your story and what brings you to our pack little bro?” I knew that question could be answered in two ways Officially or unofficially and both answers though may not seem correlated but both had the same end result “Well that question has two answers to it” i knew i could trust her, her loyalty might be to the pack but I was certain she would never sell me out “Which are?” She asked curiously
“See Ly, Alpha Duncan really needs this but he is convinced and so am I, that Luna red is angry at him” “Why do you say so?” She asked “Well, the last time she visited us, she left impromptu and since then he has been sending her countless invitations and she has not responded to any, do you know what he might have done to piss her off?” I asked as I would love to know the answer to that “I don’t know, Luna doesn’t go around talking about her feelings, about if you want to know that bad you should go ask falcon or better still ask her directly and stop playing games” she advised “You think that would work?” Right now I was willing to try any strategy provided the outcome is satisfactory “I don’t know but what I know is that, that would be the best strategy, if you go around it, you both might just be dancing around and no body would win but a direct approach would let you know where you stand” that was true “Wow! You have not just grown more beautiful and powerful, you have a
**Beatrice Pov**Last night after the tummy massages I rendered, the little tyrant inside me decided to finally let me sleep and so I took that opportunity to rest, waking up this morning I felt relaxed and it sounded calm too in my womb, I quickly freshened up and had breakfast as I was told by one of my Omega that Candace was at the pack house waiting for me, he seems like he finally was willing to meet me in an official capacity, I got to the pack house as I was informed Candace was finally ready to meet me officially as to why he was here. Earlier I allowed him entrance into my pack and let him to stay as long as he wanted so he could easily catch up and relate with his long lost and separate sister, Tania or rather Lycora, as Candace called her, I really did not know much about Tania, she has been a mentee and a very fast learner at that, but due to our rules and traditions in the pack I never saw it appropriate to investigated further into her past and former pack, all I knew w
“Why now, why after all these weeks he suddenly realizes he misses me!?” I suddenly demanded as that was what was really pissing me off at the moment He had time to look for me, I even got into a comma because of how hurt I was, where was he then?Where was he when I really needed him?“If he really misses me as he claims why wait till now before he says something or sends someone for me?” I would really love to hear the pointless excuse they both have cooked up to counter that question“What? But he couldn’t” that was his answer but it did not make sense“Why could he not?” I demanded “You really did not hear?” Candace asked as he looked from me to Tania and then falcon “Hear what?” He was not making any sense, did something happen?“One of our territories were heavily invaded, we have been busy keeping them away and the alpha got suspiciously ambushed and was seriously injured in the process, he in some pretty bad damages and has been unconscious for weeks now, it’s not been lon
**Beatrice/Luna red pov**I looked at both sides of the divide and could feel them all mentally appealing to me to pick their sides and I was suddenly overwhelmed by such responsibility“Everyone leave! I need to be alone” I commandedI knew if I kept on staying in their midst I might make a decision based on trying to please a particular side rather than what I really think I need to do, so in order to make a proper decision based on rational, I would not have to be influenced by any external factor which would be everyone in the room.“Yes Luna” they all said in unison and then stood and left.This would be a tough one as no matter what I decide a particular person(s) would not like it.I gently stood up, making my way over to my desk and then seating comfortably behind it, for some r
I was really scared when I heard him say that, I have grown to love the pack and saw them all as family, my future, if anything were to happen to the unity of the pack solely because no one was brave enough to take control and lead then I would never be able to forgive myself for it. Back then I knew for a fact that I was not ready to lead or be anyone’s alpha/Luna, but I guess no one really prepares for these kind of things and so I decided in that instant to become alpha. Falcon immediately backed me with all his might, he called a meeting of all rouges back then in our camp both old and new and let it be known that I was to become alpha with his blessing, not everyone loved the idea, some thought it was not right that someone who just showed up will become alpha while falcon who started the group was not, some others thought I either bullied falcon into submitting that position or seduced him into it, falcon noticed their bias back then and made it very clear that whoever knew hi
**Duncan pov**I carried on with my activities with little to no enthusiasm, I was really waiting for Candace to report back to me but as I did I knew I could not push him, he was probably still bonding and catching up with his sister but I hope he finds time to approach her- Beatrice/ Luna red. At this moment I would willingly welcome any distractions even war if it would get my mind off the wait, it was a torture on its own Right now I was sitting in my vast office at the pack house, I had a lot of work to do and applications on my desk to approve but I was just not feeling like it, I looked at the digital calendar on my desk and could not help but think about my birthday, this was my birth month and I would be 32 this week but I did not feel the excitement that came from becoming a year older, what I felt was pure dread an fear. This would be my last year alive, there was no escaping it now. I have accepted death, I mean we all would die one day but what I did not accept and wh
Bianca stood by the hallways as she still listened in on the alpha, he sounded extremely furious at what had just happened as he cursed and swore He cursed Them both and all the gods imaginable in his speech. As Bianca listened in she could not help but feel she was doomed, with what just transpired she knew she would eventually be in trouble, she was in a dilemma, at first before both parties ended up the way they just did she thought about staying under the radar and waiting for whatever outcome, at first she deduced that Olivia would cave and run out of the valley allowing her to find a way to corner the alpha and either make him marry her or kill his off with a way to become Luna after his untimely death, it was a nice flow if that happened but then again she thought of the possibility of Olivia sticking with Royce and they both seek a full out war, she thought if that happens she would lay low and watch for both parties to kill each other and expose its losers and winners. It
BEATRICE POV Yes, yes we should let it slide and leave with our lives, how is this even a debate, can he not see a stupid revenge was not worth his life? “You just want to fight him because of your hunger for vengeance, you don’t care if this hunger of yours kills you or even me, I guess all is fair trade provided you win in the end” I shouted at him, this man has a way of always getting on my nerves, always! What I said seem to get to him, he fell quiet the moment i said it and I suddenly felt very bad, I know this was an argument and I am very angry but I never wanted to hurt him“Do you really feel I don’t care about you or if you live?” He suddenly asked, I know I just accused him of of that but if I am being honest I do not believe it, I know duncan, I know this man and I know he would rather die than watch anything happen to me, he just proved it some time back when he took a silver blade to his chest, then he did not know silver would not have a fatal effect on him and yet
BEATRICE OV This was not something to debate with myself over, I did not need to think if i wanted to stay and fight for justice and my position as alpha or if I wanted to take Duncan and leave, none of that mattered one bit, the only thing that mattered was the man by my side and I know that in a full out war there were no rules, everyone becomes a target, I can live with dying, I have done it before, it’s not that bad except the part of eternal regret but what I cannot live with is Duncan dying, i will never leave in a world that takes him from him, Duncan dying will shake me to my very foundation. At this moment I know adolf was manipulating me, you don’t need an expert to see what he was doing and what he aims to achieve with it but what he was using to manipulate me was very potent, it would not fail and he knew it. suddenly it all made sense “Is that why you insisted I come alone and not bring Royce ?” I asked him suddenly getting his odd request. At first I assumed he put
Bianca really hates it and wonders what everyone sees in her, why for some reason everyone wants her approval, she did not matter. She is just inconsequential, a spoilt brat that does things out of a wimp, the same one who ran away from the villa simply because she was bored, there were werewolves in the villa who would kill for the opportunity she has and yet, time and time again she has abused and thrown away such opportunities and yet they kept coming to her. what made her so special?Why can’t everyone see she does not deserve everything she has?why can’t they all see that?If there was anyone in the valley who deserves to be treated as a princess, begged in for opinion in issues that matters and should be worshiped by all men, it should be her not that stupid princess!Beatrice was just some brainless little princess that had no brain and maybe just a little beauty and yet the way she manages to awe and control those around her was just annoying and wrong. Now she has the two
Bianca could not believe what she was hearing, the way he was accepting to killing people, the choking sound, the claim of mind reading, everything was off, this has to be some practical joke on their parts, they know she was listening in on them, they have to, that is why they are talking and acting this way, that was the only explanation that made sense of not then everything was just wrong!!!! Earlier today the alpha had called Beatrice to his home office and had instructed her to tell the kitchen staff to cook meals of different delicacies as Beatrice would be coming over for dinner, furthermore she was instructed to dismiss them all after that while she was to stay behind and assist, naturally Beatrice went into panic mode, she suspected the alpha yelling her to stay behind as a guise of assisting had to be Beatrice doing; Bianca knew Beatrice knows about her attack on her life with that assassin debacle, she knew for a fact the attack came from her and she even confronted her w
Adolf knew he had no reason to lie, maybe he is ever a little bit but the bottom line is he is telling the truth, this really is a bummer. He cracked his head thinking of a way out but could not see one, his advantage was that, they did not want him dead rather wanted him to pay and rot in cell or probably a death sentence, but they wanted it done legally. That was his advantage while he on the other hand did not care about such things as due process, he was going to get the job done by any means possible. Right now he wants to offer them a bargain, he plans on using Duncan as the extra bargaining chip, and probably the most important one and he would use him to make them take his deal. If they do take this deal then he would be in the clear, there was no one else to challenge him, maybe just that person who is trying to kill Beatrice, but by all attack the unknown person seems to have eyes only for her but if by chance he clears this hurdle and the unknown person were to come for
Adolf was totally taken off guard by what had just happened to him, one moment he was speaking and smiling and the next moment he was choking on his on words. Adolf massaged his neck at the spot where he was just choked, it felt so real, almost like someone was really on top on him applying pressure to his neck, if not that he had his eyes open all along he would have sworn Duncan had attacked him and pressed his neck. Adolf have always know duncan was a magician or “forbidden” as it is called here, after all he was the one who stole him from his parents and country but he never suspected he had powers. When staying with the forbiddens he learnt a lot about them and their culture, and during that time he came to understand those powers as well as he realized that though all forbiddens are gifted in the art of spells and spoken magic but very very few had the ability to exhibit real magic emitting from within the individual. To get a handle of your magic they had to train right fro
BEATRICE POVI looked at him and simply nodded to him, he instantly understood what I meant by that as we put our hands into our pockets and fished out our mobile devices, we both switched it off and placed it in front of us on the table surface. HE smiled broadly at the act, pleased, I could tell he did not know how we would have acted to that his request as well and his behavior was one that seemed like he just wanted to talk honestly and openly without any body listening in or recording our talk, I am sure he did not want anyone listening in on what he had to say and the confessions he was would possible agree to He gestured for Bianca to come forward with his hand and she did promptly“Bianca, please take these devices and step out for a bit, we want to have a personal conversation together and when we are all done here I will call back for you” She nodded politely and stretched for our phones, taking it off the table before heading for the exit, we all waited patiently as she l
BEATRICE POVDuncan and I briefed melly on what was going on. We told her about what we think happened to May’s mother, and about the impromptu visit we just got and how we intend to honor the invitation, we then tasked her with the protection of May while we were gone. It was obvious that the alpha and his goons had no idea that May was still alive and even though I was certain of that, but in the off chance that we were wrong and this is just one deceitful plan to get Me out the way while the make another attack on May, so I knew that I could not let my guard down. I instructed her to lock the everywhere and stay indoors and no matter what happens she is not to open the door for anyone except Duncan and I and with how secure the house was not, it would be virtually impossible to come inside without those inside knowing about the intrusion. Those were the instructions I specifically gave and I was confident they would be fine but then again there is duncan. All my plans to subve
