“See anything you like?” I looked up. There was a woman smiling at me. I smiled back. She was a middle aged woman with big circle O earrings and a scarf over her hair. I couldn’t see the color of her hair too. She had these perfect white teeth. She had dark eye shadows, dark lipstick. You know the classical fortune teller persona. Clara had walked up to me and apologized for ignoring me. I listened to her words and I felt it made sense. I forgave her andwe made up but then she suddenly asked that I visit a market around the pack. Market was home to all supernatural but onlyOmegas can attend openly. “Oh it’s nothing, I was just drawn to these cards” my smile slowly transitioned into a laugh. A nervous laugh. Her eyes zoned in on the cards and she smiled. I knew it. I knew I was not hallucinating. The longer I stared at this card, the more it felt like I had just walked into a museum and staring right back at me was a picture of myself on the wall. I mean how can that be?
The smell of freshly baked bread, meat and soup filled the great hall, but it did nothing to calm the fire in my heart. We were in the wooden dinning. My knife scrapped the butter on the plate against my bread as I duginto my meal, the sound of cutleries clashing against my ears. Laughter echoed from the table, but it felt hollow. Nina and Rachel were still out there, prisoners of that bastard Stephen Hawking and his accomplice Maximus. I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist thinking about them. What would have become of them? Has Stephen touched my girl? I grabbed the spoon harder and tighter as I gritted my teeth. Someone tapped meang I turned. It was Vok. I nodded. Telling I'm calm. I have being a pacing machine as I waited for the two alphas to make it to my pack. It seems to be that time was walking on a snail's pace. Now they were here. We couldn't just leave. wr need to plan. To fight. From what Madam Lafayette has said, Stephen and Maximus used the powers of all witc
As soon as I got into my room, the phone buzzed. It was a message from an unknown number. I clicked on it and it read. “ Hi Nina, it was nice talking to you” it ended with a wink and I frowned. I hissed loudly and dropped the phone on the bed before heading to the bathroom. All this I did was to be closer Maximus. Just like Marcus asked me with the letter.It was to make it easy for us to meet. The plan was to have maximus change my maids and guards. I didn't want to use people from the blue moon pack. Rather people from the winter fell pack. It would be easier to do meeting with them. Well the only good thing Maximus and I liked was to give me a phone. We were in the rural part of the werewolf world. Phones were hard to come by here. I tried to call Alpha Knox but I didn't know his number. I hasn't seen him with a phone either. Maximus was the exact cocky kind of person I hated. As if making me hate him the more. He was boastful and condescending. From that night, I began
Finally our plans were now taking shape. The next morning I was awoken by the head of the women affairs in the blue moon pack. I gave me the names of all the winter fell pack maids on my retinue and guards. I asked her to give them all to me and I agreed. When she left Marcus, walked into room. “Congratulations your highness” he bowed at me me smiling. “Oh stop it Marcus, it's a team effort” I said. We talked about meeting up in the evening, in the cave and he agreed. Just the Cecil, my new personal maid, also a winter fell pack maid walked in. She smiled at me. She had been in the Femwood pack with Rachel got years. I have heard she knew her way around here very well. “Your highness, Alpha Maximus requires your presence in his room” my heart began to race. I turned to Marcus and he seemed worried. “Alright” I nodded. “Be careful your highness”Marcus said and I nodded, then he left. ******************************************************** Call it luck or anything,
I sat down and listened to Cecil tell me a history about witches and the blue moon pack. Many years ago in the Blue moon pack, a witch hacked a werewolf of the Blue moon pack to death. The reason for this is not yet known up until this day. Some say the werewolf was engaged to the witch and he cheated on her, so she conjured him in her shrine and struck him dead with an invisible knife. Some say the witch killed the werewolf out of pure evil. Lots and lots of stories had been going round but nobody knew the real reason for that. The said witch was hunted by another witch and killed by the Alpha of the Blue moon then. After that, they declared that no one in the land of the Blue moon pack would practice magic or be seen near witches. They banished all the witches in the pack. Ever since then people had to travel far and wide to see a witch but if you had to get into the Blue moon pack, you go without your enchantments. I told Cecil that I was going to sleep on it. Finally, by mo
37 YEARS AGO “Cecil! Come on we will be late” “Coming mum!” I yell back. So actually it’s my wedding, today. And I might be going super late to it. So during the last party I attended, the alpha of the East moon Pack, Eric was there. He and I began to talk and on the second meeting we shared a kiss. On the third he marked me. When my mum saw the mark, she couldn’t contain the joy in her. She danced with so much reckless abandon, it began to look like it was her wedding. I was happy that after all the rejections, I finally get to have a mate, though I was an Omega. As soon as I got downstairs, my best friends were already there. “Oh Cecil, you look beautiful” Lora said and I smiled. “Thanks Lo” “Here I got these for you” Theresa presented me with some lilies. My eyes burned with unshed tears. “Oh Theresa, you didn’t have to” she smiled at me. Lilies were my favorite. She must have woken up early to pick them. “Where is Tyler?” I asked looking around. He was the 3
It’s been a week after our secret meeting as winter fell pack. Everything was going on well until I began to notice changes in around me. I had introduced Cecil as my right hand and then she began following me to everywhere till Alpha Maximus got used to her. He even began to ask about her when she wasn’t with me. From then on she would fill in for me when I had meetings with Marcus and the other men. But then I noticed something. On those days, which I wouldn’t go with her to visit Alpha Maximum. Like the days, she would go take excuses for me, Cecil took longer before coming back. This continued for a while and I became bothered. I tried to talk to Marcus about it but he said it was for our good. The more Maximus didn’t suspect us, the better for us. *************************************************************************************************** ONE MONTH LATER Aft we months of meetings and planning, the time was right for us to make a move. For us to escape. I had manag
That morning sitting in my room, I went as quiet as a mouse. Thinking. Trying to understand what that dream had meant. A betrayal. From Cecil? I shook my head. That wasn't possible. She was loyal. But then I recall my dream. My dreams are never false. It was always a revelation of what was to come. But then it could be false. I mean with the escape date drawing closer, my mind was bound to feed me with different narratives. Then I recalled how close Cecil was getting with Maximus. Maybe….I shook my Head again. As if to ridd it of those thoughts. She was a winter fell. She has been suffering for years. Nobody wants freedom from Maximus and Stephen more than her. I took in a deep breath and smiled. I managed to push all that thought away. It was just my mind playing tricks on me. I remembered that I was always pessimistic. Lilith always told me that. ******************************************************** Finally it was the d day. That morning I woke up with a bright smile on my
The moment we stepped into pack territory, I felt it. Luca too felt. He had this weird expression on his face. When I decided to bring him with me, I was just going to tell just one person. Sean. He was my right man. My best friend. He had encourage to come over with my son. After all he was mine and he was a werewolf. The worst thing that would happen is that I could lose some roles because I had a child and be questioned by the alpha. But it was always going to be a secret. I planned to bring him forth next year, when it would be time to have his moonstone as a werewolf. I had chosen to travel at night. That way there would be few people in the pack who would see me. And even if they did, they might think the child was not mine. The land welcomed me, the scent of pine and earth wrapping around me like a long-lost lover. But it was different now. Heavier. As if the trees themselves could sense my secret. The wind rushed to my side as I stood in front the palace, as if it welc
Firstly I had no mate. No one to connect telepathically with so I wondered why I was getting this feeling. I scanned the room for any sort of connection with the people around me bur I came out blank. That was scary. I knew something was wrong but I could tell what it was. I stood up to go outside because the place was suddenly becoming uncomfortable, when I felt a tap on my wrist. I immediately turned to Elle. She said something, I leaned in to hear what she had to say and she kept on rubbing her boobs on my arms I rolled my eyes. What was this now? “Vok come I dance with you” Elle Benita’s friend asked while batting her eyelids. As I was about to respond, I see Benita at the corner. This must be one of her gimmicks to get me again. “Another time babe” I say smirking. Benita was once my ex-girlfriend but ever since our break up, she had been trying to win me over but I didn’t let her. I think I still have PTSD from Miranda. I don’t want someone showing up all of a sudden with
“Oh my God my grandchild” Mum smiled at Luca who had stuffed his mouth with food. He smiled with the food and he looked cute. That was after I had explained what happened at the office. I expected her to be angry or anything but she none of that. She even thanked Miranda for leaving the boy. I couldn’t even believe it. “Mum have you been even listening to me?” I asked as I walked to the dinning. She blinked. “Yes of course” “Okay what did I say last?” “elm you were talking about” she scratched her head and stared with me smiling.” could you remind me? I guess I’m now getting old” she giggled. I looked at her eyes wide. What was this real? Some days earlier she was very pissed at me but now she’s the exact. All because of a child? I can’t believe this. “Mum please now is not the time to pay jokes” I sighed. “I’m not joking too” she smiled and then went on to stock pile food on the young werewolf’s plate. Luca smiled as he ate. I think he already loves her. After watching them
The first thing I noticed was the silence that seemed to envelope me as soon as Miranda left my office. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. Now what was I going to do. My office was never truly quiet, phones rang, and papers shuffled, the busy nature of the city outside always pressing against the glass. But this silence was different. Heavy. Wrong. Soddenly there was a knock on my door. “Come in” I yelled and suddenly remembered the door would be opened anyway. I looked up to find my secretary at the door. She walked in with saying a word. “Are you going to say something or not?” I snapped. Felicia my secretary swallowed. “Sir she led the little child in the elevator and he had been crying so I gave him some cookies—“ I sprang up. “Where is he now?” She pointed to the door, “he lay in the cushion in the reception area” I went quiet as I thought of a lot things. I sighed for the 1 millionth time since today. That devil of a woman. How dare she do this to a child, how vil
“What do you mean I need an heir to buy back that?” I shouted into the phone. Its 5am in the morning and I haven’t slept a wink since I got back to my house. I was this close to losing it. David had successfully bought 15% of the shares. The remaining 5% was what I had gotten a hold of but the owner of the shares wasn’t going to sell it to me unless I had an heir. She was my mother’s friend. I knew this was mum’s doing. This was a company I own too. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. “Okay Mrs. Landin name your price. I will pay. I need those shares.” “You heard me Mr. Sinclair. I will sell these shares back to you on the condition that you provide an heir.” She said. “But how am I going to be able to do that” I said in clenched teeth. I could use another way to make her give me those shares but she was affiliated with my mother. If I touched even a strand of hair on her, I knew better of what mum would do. “Figure it out boy. You have until the next board meeting or e
“Ma’am he will see you shortly” the secretary said and I nodded. I took in a deep breath and sat. I looked at the wall and there he was. Vok. I didn’t know what to think but I just wanted to claim what was rightfully mine. I sat sipping coffee as I went down memory lane. ************************************************************************************* The people instantly goes quiet when they notice only me standing at the podium the happy smiles and the joyous laughs on their faces is been replaced by worry and murmurings. They are waiting. Just like I am. Everything is set for my wedding except for one thing. Or rather one person. The groom. Vow kai Sinclair. The one I am betrothed to. I look down from where I stand and lock eyes with my mother. She blinks, telling me not to cry. I gulp. Fighting back my tears. Telling me not to cry in a situation like this is making me want to cry. How could Vok do this to me? I thought these things only happen in movies. Now here I
3 days later I stretched lazily like a cat as my eyes fluttered open. Sunlight flittered through the window and I squinted. I looked up. White ceiling. Black spiral carvings on the wall. Carved painstakingly too. The curtains were a deep shade of purple but Lilac at the tip. I smiled. The human side has a lot of perks. If I was back at the pack, someone must have recognized me by now. I decided to use my free week to visit my business in the human side and also do some other extra-Curricular activities. I turned to get a full view of the drawing, when my hands brushed across something soft from beside me. I sat up and got a full view. There was a woman sprawled on my bed, beside me. Her back was turned to me. She was pale skinned and had pretty brown hair. Brunettes. I was a sucker for them. Oh I remember her now. I gazed at her, racking my head. Okay I don’t. What was her name again? I just can’t remember. Just how drunk was I yesterday. Yesterday was the day I signed the dea
Finally everything was back to normal. I had successfully said goodbye to the two alphas that helped me. Without Margo’s brilliant idea to attack and Amandla’s bravery with her men, I might not have effortlessly killed my long time enemy. Finally it was just I as the greatest in the land of lycanthropy. My pack is safe and so is the remaining members of the Femwood pack. I accommodated them in my pack and asked Vok to tell my men to build other houses for the packs. As for the blue moon pack, I sent one of my generals to be their Alpha. And then I passed judgment on a few others. The stories I had heard of Rachel during the siege was irritating. I tried to exile her but Madam Lafayette asked that I tamper justice with mercy, because she was heavy with child. So I let her leave in the lonely village not far from me. There was no males going in or coming out. That way she wouldn’t be planning with some other people to take over my pack, unknowingly though. There was a knock on the
I had thought my Journey would be smooth from then on but what I didn't know was, it had just begun. Home was the only thing in my view and I hoped we got to it soon enough. The next morning I woke up to a slightly flooded room. Water had seeped from the kitchen into the room. I was confused. What was going on? I had not left the kitchen sink on so how did this happen? There was a heavy knock on my door and I rushed to the door. “I came as soon as I heard it” Vok said. “Honestly I don't understand what happened” I looked around to room. The floor was soaked. I watched the water level. It didn't look like it was inceeasing. That was a relief. Vok around the room. “ It was a little technicality somewhere” I modded likt I understood what was going on. “Alright I'll call my men to come around and take your bags, come with me” he said. I nodded. I immediately grabbed my night wear gown walked out of the room, Vok following closely behind me as he closed the door. I waited for him
