I flung my eyes open immediately I heard the noise. I stood up to find out that it was a phone ringing. I turned to find out that it was my phone. I was surprised to find out that it was unscathed after what I had been through. The fever was over and I felt much better. “Your highness” I turned around to find Vok, the pack Doctor and Madam Lafayette in my room. “I am not dying yet” I said as I sat up. “But you could have” Madam Lafayette retorted. “Its good thing your beta brought you in, when he did” the pack doctor said. “Alright, thank you all” I replied. “So what’s next? I haven’t rescued them? Should we all sit back and fold our hands? I asked. “Don’t you get it your highness” she said. I raised my hands. “Okay okay what’s next?” Madam Lafayette turned to the pack doctor. “You may leave” He nodded. “Very well your highnesses” he bowed and worked away. “I don’t trust anyone” she said, then she turned to us. “The plan is to go save them” “Alright let’s go
Out in the forests, in the cold, damp grounds was a lycanthrope. Bloodied, crushed and gnawed. At the moment he is fighting for his life. It would be a wonder if he survived the night. He had silver skin like diamond, a perfect. He was authority and royalty in one …a true blood. As the redwood pack got ready for the full moon, little did they know that one of their own was breathing his last? The redwood, howled the loudest. Fought the boldest. And hunted the biggest prey in the history of lycanthropy. Werewolf hunters. They were ahead of all clans and that earned those lots of respect amongst other pack Eric, the beta, jogged up the mountains as soon as the moon became full and screamed out to the other packs. Then the transition began. Nails turned to plundering sharp claws. Bones were rumpledand new bone structures were made. Their eyes shone like stars as their visions intensified. They ran in a haze. They howled and howled in reckless abandon, for this is the mom
The thing mum was doing was good and bad, for me. I understand her fear. I mean I would also be scared but then it made me feel inadequate in front of my peers and it hurt my self-esteem, when they talk about Transitioning ceremonies. But then the stories were scary. During this ceremony, the young werewolves transitioned into themselves. At the moment, the young ones didn’t know a thing about being a werewolf. They didn’t know how to focus on who to attack or not. And if they had to transition on their own, they could risk killing a being that was not of their kind or does not look like them. For lycans that are yet to transition, they always came with lots of their family members and members of their pack, to protect them, in case they were attacked. Heir alphas who were not liked, were wanted dead. And if they came alone or with little or no protection were chased and hunted. If caught, they are instantly killed. And nothing could be done about it. Hence the protective nature of
“Please don’t hurt me!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. They ran round me as they circled her. Gritting their teeth as puffs of smoke existed their angry ears. I was scared shitless because I had never gotten a close encounter with angry wolves, though I knew I had unknown enemies. I could somehow hear them converse. “Guys let’s finish her off!” “No, not yet, she has to suffer first” “No guys don’t touch her yet” The one who had lots of resentment towards me, gritted his teeth, charged at me. “No! No! Please help me” then suddenly I jerked up. *************************************************************************************************** I was swimming in an ocean of sweat and I was greatly hyperventilating. I was more than happy that, this was a dream but you know what they say about dreams. They are a glimpse into the future. It was like the night had an agreement with the day that they would delay the rising of the sun. I couldn’t sleep the rest of the night. For i
“Margo!!! Where the hell are you?!” Clara screamed into the phone. My phone had been buzzing endlessly and the moment I heard Clara’s voice, I knew I was in deep shit. “Hi Clara, good morning please try stalling her on, I’m almost there!” I begged as I jumped out of bed. Shit! I had slept in again and I would get late for work at the palace. “Margo there is absolutely nothing good about the morning. I know you spent the night watching that annoying doctor and ending it by reading novels?” “Ehhh something like that but it’s–“she cut me off. “Save whatever you have to say for yourself later. Now will you get your ass down here or you will get me in trouble!” And on that note she ended the call. I huge grin stretched across my face as I thanked the heavens for giving me such a friend like her. She had been my friend for a long as I can remember, although get parents forbade her our friendship. It seemed like the harder they tried to break us apart. The stronger our friendship was.
“He’s still alive!” I yelled and I immediately ended the outgoingcall. I tried to bring him in but he was too muscular. I let deep breath and began pushing. Successfully I did. I went outside and checked if anyone saw me. Relieved that no one was in sight, I shut my door. Unknown to me, the moment I dragged him through the threshold of my house, I had awakened someone who knew something was amiss in my pack. That was my mistake. I managed to put him on the only bed in my room. Damn! He was huge and heavy. “Are people still allowed to be this tall?” I said frustrated as beads of sweat danced all over my body. When I opened his shirt, there was marks all over them. I was scared as to how someone would get into a fight and put his life at risk. Then another thought came Mind. What if he was running for his life from a murderer? I shudder at that thought as I wondered if his murderer had followed him here. If he was in my house thatmeant that I was also in danger. I shook my head as I
“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
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
