Next chapter.Alisa looked pale as she stared at Batya. She looked at me in disbelief then looked at Batya once more, unable to speak.She couldn't believe that who she was staring at was Batya but the clear resemblance was enough proof.“Is that.." she stuttered in shock, taking a step toward us. Alisa looked at me in shock, then looked at Batya who was glaring fiercely at the guards.I hold Batya’s shoulders to calm her. " Remember what we talked about,” i whispered to her and zhe nodded her head softly. She grew sheepish as she looked at the guards.“I'm sorry. But don't come close to my mama,” Batya apologized while warning them.I wanted to smile at hoa protective she was over me, but I was too nervous to do that.I was yet to see Daciana and a part of me was still afraid. I only sent her the letter ahead of time to inform she and Arnou of my return. And I told her of the only reason I was returning and why I had taken Batya.I was hoping that she wouldn't imprison me because I t
Danica walked into the room, standing beside me.“How do you two know about Greta when we have been trying to keep it lowkey?” Yeran asked, he seemed suspicious of me and I couldn't blame him.I looked at him, and my answer came immediately.“That's not important. What is important right now is trying to restore Daciana back to her full health before Greta decides to attack again. If we are unable to do that, then it's of no use, the lycan territory wouldn't be able to stand a chance without that” I told them.“Even though Batya is my daughter, she also has another mother. Is it okay if Batya does the rituals?” Daciana said, her last question was directed at me and I was surprised that she wanted to ask me.Arnou looked angry that Daciana has asked me, ge still hated me for taking his daughter away and calling me her mother didn't sit well with him.He wanted to speak but he looked at Daciana then kept his mouth shut, his love for his wife wouldn't let him say anything to oppose her.
It's been three days since we got here. Danica had said that it was better we do the ritual and be done with it. Nobody knew when Greta would strike again and we could only prepare for when she would come.Batya had agreed to do the rituals with Daciana today and the necessary tools were prepared immediately.I was currently standing outside the ritual room, I peered into the room, watching Daciana performing the rituals.They were sitted around a blue flame that symbolizes Daciana's flame. Batya's hand was on Daciana's over the fire and they both made chants.I had no idea how they were going to do it, but I couldn't help but feel nervous.I didn't want anything to happen to Batya, after all I raised her for almost six years.Seeing that Batya and Daciana were bonding slowly, I couldn't help but feel happy too. If she fully bonded with Daciana who was her real mother, she wouldn't need me any more. I couldn't forget that I had been exiled to the human world. So immediately this was
We would have to go there now to help defend,” Daciana ordered. Arnou wanted to stop her because she wasn't done with th ritual. He suggested to go there without her while she completed the rituals but Daciana wasn't hearing any of it.“But-” Arnou started to say but he is cut off by Daciana's stern gaze.“I understand that you're worried about me. But I can assure you that nothing is going to happen. I have you with, so I'm certain I would be safe,” Daciana said, holding his hands tightly.“Are we going with Batya?”. I asked them and they both turned their attention to me.'i would hate to bring her into a battle field at such a Young age, but it seems like we have no choice,” Daciana said and I nodded my head slowly.Batya was much stronger than I was, so I wasn't worried about her getting hurt.Arnou sent a message to the Alphas closer to us, requesting for assistance. Greta was a general problem that everyone needed to handle.“Let's get going,” Arnou said and we all left.It took
All eyes turned to me just after he called my name. I looked away from the table, avoiding looking at him.Atlas clears his throat and goes back to what he was saying.Feeling Daciana's eyes on me, I turned my attention back to Atlas who kept looking back at me.I could see the hurt in his eyes whenever he looked at me but I chose to avert my gaze.His mate who was sitting beside him squinted her eyes at me.I watched her as she looked between Atlas and I, a million thoughts visibly running through her mind.It was obvious that she was curious about who I was, because Atlas clearly didn't tell her about me.PBut who would tell their mate that they got married in the human world?Danica turned her head to me, looking between Atlas and I.I prayed she wouldn't ask anything concerning me cause I wasn't ready to answer.“Isn't that your husband? He's a wolf? And he has a mate too?” Danica asked me surprised.I swallowed a lump in my throat, keeping my eyes forward.I felt Daciana eyes on
When I had said that I was his wife, an unfamiliarity look flashed in her eyes but it was gone the next second. She looked down at me mockingly.“What to do about that? I'm his mate,” there was a hint of pride in her words and I couldn't take it anymore.Shaking with anger, I pulled out the wedding ring I always carried with me from my pocket, picking up Atlas hand and dropping it on his palm “Here, this is for you!” I hissed. Without delaying for even a second, I turned on my heels storming away. “Heyley,” Atlas called my name but I ignored him, keeping my gaze straight as I walked I blink back tears, struggling to meet up with Daciana and the rest. Alisa turned to look at me and I kept my eyes down, walking slowly.“Are you alright? You don't seen fine and we all can notice that,” Alisa seemed cautious. It was obvious she hadn't yet forgiven me but she couldn't bring herself to ignore my red eyes.Swallowing a lump in throat, I forced a smile on my face as I replied to her.“I'
I looked between Anna and Atlas, confusion written on my face. Atlas pulled Anna awa, giving her away to someone else. “Atlas what curse is she talking about?” I asked once more, directing my questions to Atlas who avoided my eyes. It wasn't just me but everyone else who was curious on what curse Atlas talked was speaking of. “It's not important, she's just talking nonsense. Right now, we need to focus on getting out information from him so we'd know when next Greta plans on attacking,” Atlas said, completely changing the topic. Being reminded of the situation, I turned my attention back to the man who was watching us with amusement. His lip was pulled into a smile. His shoulders started to shake and from then he started chuckling before he started cackling loudly. “What's so funny?” I asked him, stepping towards him. “You think you can get Greta easily? You think you'd be able to win if you start a fight?” He asked, laughing louder. “Alright then, since you beg
Some of her men were battling with Atlas at the entrance,” He continued speaking before running off to join them. Greta had attacked us. She didn't attack the pack where Arnou had gone to with the rest of the Alphas. By the time Arnou realized that they had been tricked but would have been too late already. Atlas was already battling all alone outside. We need to help him. The though to help comes to mind as I ran off to find Maliya and Alisa. I needed to let them know of what was happening before coming back to alert Daciana and the rest. This was Greta's plan all long. She made Arnou and the rest of the Alpha's leave while she attacked us. We were foolish to believe what that man had said. I knew he shouldn't have been trusted. “Maliya!” I shouted her name when I see her with Alisa. They looked confused as the guards ran past them, no one wanted to stop to answer their questions. Immediately they see me, they both run towards me, crossing the hallway to get to me.
Chapter one hundred and Eleven Heyley's pov “Calm down Heyley, can you please tell me what the problem is?" He asked.“Everyone is staring at me, it is making me uncomfortable", I said .“That's because it's their first time to behold such a beautiful damsel, here hold my hands I'll guide you every step of the way", Atlas said, stretching his hand .His words consoled me, I had more confidence in myself than ever, I held his hands and he walked me to the front of the crowd, Elder Nate was in front already waiting for our arrival.We performed the marital rites and it was time for the moon goddess' approval. I've always wondered why the moon goddess who usually appears at night approves a daytime wedding but Atlas says that she is always everywhere so I didn't bother myself about that thought.“If there is anyone here that doesn't want this marriage to proceed, speak up now or forever remain silent", Elder Nate said.My heart skipped for a moment, my mind went to when I disrupted De
Chapter one hundred and ten Heyley's pov I felt sprinkles of water all over my body. “Heyley, Heyley, I could hear Atlas' voice faintly call my name."Heyley, please don't scare me like that again”, he said as a opened my eyes, I couldn't see him clearly all I could see was blurry, it took about thirty seconds before my eyes were wide opened, the guards were holding me tightly, I freed myself from their grip and adjusted my seat"what happened I asked?”, looking rather surprised, I couldn't remember how I got to the ground ."you fainted immediately you heard Parker's confession about Greta”, Atlas answered.I looked around and there was Greta staring right into my face, for the first time in a long while I looked at her right back in the face without being scared."Parker, are you sure of what you are saying? Denise and Greta do not know each other, Dianacia and I are Greta's biological children”, I said." There's more to the story that no one knows but I'm grateful to be here p
Chapter one hundred and nine Atlas pov I was so pissed with Heyley, first that she would be sent for her family without informing me and also deciding to accommodate them without even letting me know .She came out of the room looking at me and frowning in her face, “What is Atlas?", she asked.“Let's talk in the room", I replied as I walked towards the room she walked right behind me.On getting to the room she backed the door with so much anger and it made a really loud noise, but I didn't care about her anger .“Why would you do this Haley, why are you being insensitive about our problems?", I asked her pacing around the room.“I don't get you, I don't understand please you'd have to break it down for me to understand whatever you are saying", she said.“Sending for your sister and her family at this crucial time, Anna is being detained, she would be standing before trial in a few days, Denise is still on the sick bed yet you accommodate your sister for a few days, Heyley don't a
Chapter one hundred and eight Heyley's pov . I searched for Janet everywhere in the house but I couldn't find her “where could she have gone”?, I asked myself.I decided to walk to the courtyard in search of her. As I stepped out I saw a beautiful carriage in the courtyard., with Janet standing with a group of people, “Who could that be?", I asked myself.I walked closer to them and to my greatest surprise it was Dianacia, on seeing her I was short of words, I didn't know how to react .“I'm, I'm sorry", Dianacia said to Janet, it looked like they were having an altercation.“Dianacia, Dianacia, is that you"? I said as I ran towards them, Dianacia ran as fast as she could when she saw me, we hugged passionately.“What on earth are you doing here?", I asked.“Well, since Bayat wouldn't rest about seeing her mummy, we decided to pay you a little surprise," she replied.“That's so sweet of you", I replied.This time Bayata was running towards me “Mummy, mummy", she said as she ran,
Chapter one hundred and seven Dianacia pov “I'm so sorry mummy I was only excited about our journey", Bayata replied.“We are not going today baby, daddy has a lot of things to do in his court. I promise we will go soon ", I replied.I didn't want her to feel that I don't care about her because I could see she was really sad with the way I yelled at her.“Okay mummy, I love you", she said as she packed her bags and ran to her room.I locked the door and entered the room, Arnou gave me his eyes, he does that anytime he doesn't like my reaction to something.“What?, if you have anything to say just say it", I said .“No I don't", he replied.“But you know I handled the issue well", I said.“You sure did, you yelling at our daughter who tried to take her life because you were yelling at her was definitely handling the issue well", he replied sarcastically."I'm serious Arnou, don't give me that kind of reply, " I said .“Fine, you almost got out of control but you sure did handle it w
Chapter one hundred and sixAtlas pov “What the hell Anna, I'm trying my best to get Denise back on her feet while you are here trying to kill her, do you want to implicate yourself?, please put the knife down?", I said .“No Atlas let me kill this bitch, she should pay for her crimes she just wants to reap where she did not show.", Anna replied .“I know you are very angry about what she did to you, however this is not the way to seek things out you would only put us in much more trouble", I said .“She is the trouble here, I am doing us a favor Atlas, you would thank me for this in the long run", she replied.“If the elders have your head there would be no one to thank, so stop fooling around and drop the damn knife", I yelled.“Atlas… Atlas … your sisters want me dead, they do not want our love to flourish, she wants to kill me, she doesn't want me to carry another Alpha baby of ours”, she cried .I could see the tears roll down Denise's cheeks, but I chose not to ignore it. My f
Chapter one hundred and five Heyley's pov It was a long distance back home, all I could think about was whether Bayta was fine, I wondered why Dianacia would act the way she did, all I did was love Bayta, “she is supposed to understand that these things take time", I said to myself. It was really getting dark and I still haven't gotten to the house. I didn't think the house would be this far. I hurried home and I got home rather quickly.The whole house was quiet and empty, it felt like no one was at home. I walked towards the kitchen and I couldn't even find the maids or even a guard ."Where is everybody?”, I asked myself."Is anyone in, who is at home, why is everywhere so quiet?”, I screamed at the top of my voice. Just as I was about to say another word from my mouth I saw the maid walking towards me, she walked with so much haste .“Welcome ma", she bowed her head and greeted.“Thank you, where is everybody, why is everywhere so quiet?", I asked her."The soon to be Luna i
Chapter one hundred and four Dianacia povRight before my eyes Arnou grabbed her by the legs as she was about to slip down the Window, she fell on Arnou and was crying profusely.“I want to go and meet mummy Heyley, I miss her so much”she cried out .“It's okay baby, stay with me please I'll take you to be with mummy Heyley but first you have to stay with me, I love you baby", Arnou said petting and kissing her cheeks.I was unable to move as I could no longer feel my feets. It felt as if something pierced me. I stood dumbfounded for over five minutes before trying to move towards them. On seeing me Bayta jumped on my body and cried. I couldn't help but burst out in tears also.“I'm, I'm sorry mummy", she said.“No, don't be, I'm the one that is supposed to be sorry, I hurt you, I shouldn't have yelled at you, that was a cruel thing for me to do", I said while using my fingers to go through her head.“I just miss my mum… .. mummy, she doesn't want to see me again”, she said." No, M
Chapter one hundred and three Dianacia's povBoth Arnou and Heyley looked at me dumbfounded when I broke the news to them “That's not possible she went upstairs after we've exchanged pleasantries", Heyley said.“But I've searched and called out her name for the utpententh time, she is nowhere to be found", I replied.This time my eyes has been clouded with tears, I didn't know what to think, I rushed down the stairs and went ahead to hold my husband's hands.“Arnou say something please", I cried .“Probably one of the guards would have seen her leaving", Arnou said.He walked to where the guard was, they talked for a little bit and when they were done Arnou turned to face us, his face was moody and I knew something had gone wrong.“Where is she Arnou, where?, I yelled." Do you think Greta got again? “, Heyley asked ." Why won't she leave my family and I alone", I cried out .“But Greta would have left a word if she did she is not usually like that”, Heyley said."something is wron
