The breeze blew steadily through the window and caused the room to be quite chilly. I shivered in reaction. Staring do you I could goose pimples all over my body. I groaned and ran a hand over my hair. I hated being sick. The feeling of inadequacy and less strength scared the hell out of me. How would I control and command the pack if I lay confined in a room. On a bed. With all my strength, I managed to sit up. My breathing was ragged as I tried to steady myself. I sat on the edge of the bed, my head in my hands. I could feel my skin burning like fire was licking at my insides. Every muscle ached, like I had gone ten rounds in a fight I didn’t remember. Even thr thought of laying back on the bed. The strength to do that. It hurt so much. A layer of sweat slicked my skin, my breathing shallow. My wolf stirred restlessly, uneasy. Something was wrong. Why was I sick suddenly? Was it what I ate? I hadn't eaten much since I got back with Arya. "Your highness" Vok ‘voice cu
“We are ready your Highness!” Vok announced and I nodded. I grabbed my silver bullet and loaded the gun. This was the deadliest silver in the whole of the werewolf Kingdom. “Is everything set “I asked Vok. He nodded.” Yes Your Highness” “Let's go” I ordered. Just before I could take one step forward, I felt a sharp pain in my head and I flinched. Oh no, what was it now? Vow turned around. Surprised that I did not follow him. He walked back. “Are you alright your highness?” he asked staring into my eyes. I nodded. “Yes yes, let's go” I forced my eyes open and began to walk despite the weakness engulfing my body. ******************************************************** The car revved up to a start and the driver drove off. I looked out that window. Satisfied that all my men were with me. If I couldn't fight, I could instruct them on what to do. Then I sighed. We were running out of time. I could feel it. It was like an invisible cord pulling me forward, because of
I jolted up from sleep, panting like one that had run a race. Sweat gleamed all over my skin. I sat up properly. What sort of dream was that? Why did Knox get to be victorious? He should be dead from that poison. He shouldn’t have reached the Fanwood. Just then there was a banging sound coming from my door. I arched an eyebrow. Who was that by this time of the night? The knocking continued. “Xander!” I yelled. I didn’t hear him come in and the knocking persisted. “Ughh!!” I used the pillow to cover my ears and but it didn’t make it any better. I knew that the only way I would get this solved is if I go open the door myself. Finally I was able to pull myself from the bed and walked to the door. “Just let me see the idiotic that is disturbing my sleep” I said wit gritted teeth as I marched to the door. The knock came again. More impatient and louder. “I ‘m coming!” I whispered harshly. Finally I opened the door. It was a maid. “Are you crazy? Youcan” t around banging on d
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.
“We are back, your Highness.” The new secretary turned to me and Vok with a bright smile. I dropped my phone. “I guess it's goodbye to seeing all those humans and their fat faces,” I replied. Vok and the secretary chuckled. I sighed and opened the door. I stretched my legs and walked to the other side. I smiled, staring at the environment. The green vegetation and all. Not those colored plastics Humans make in the lab. It is indeed good to be home. “Your Highness, the alpha of the blue moon pack sends his regards,” the secretary announced suddenly. I frowned. “Sorry Your Highness, Sir,, “ he said looking at me and Vok before he finally disappeared “Vok are you sure he's a werewolf?” Vok smiled. “ yes your highness” I sighed. It's been a while, really. I began to think about my life for the past one month. 2 weeks earlier, when I saw that the job here on the human side was way too big to be done within a week, I became worried. How would the pack go on? Vok began to m
When I looked up, I could see the gamma’s eyes bilge out. He stiffened on seeing me. I bent my head in shame. He must have been surprised seeing me here, like this. In this uniform, when I should have been dressed like her because, in the real sense, I was the present Luna, though I hadn’t laid claim to that title or agreed to be the alpha’s mate willingly. He coughed and looked away. I could see his struggle. Trying to rescue me without revealing my true identity. He must have known that the alpha didn’t want his mother to see me. But what sort of person works for the person who could kill her in the blink of an eye? I guess I was stubborn like the alpha said. “It’s nice to see you out here” Queen Ashira smiled. “The feeling is mutual, your highness,,” Sean said with a forced smile. “This maid tried to poison me, so I was going to punish her,” she said, looking over her shoulder and glaring at me. “That is such a huge allegation. Did you see her yourself?” “Yes.” The
I have to admit, life as a maid was horrible. With each passing day, I was beginning to regret my actions. Maybe I might have judged Alpha Knox too harshly. No matter what I did to him, he would never be cruel to me, the way the chief maid and cook were to the maids. They don’t want to see you happy or resting. If they get you in any of the stated two, they always find a way to milk you of the joy in your heart. I went from cleaning to washing to cooking. By the end of the day, I would be too exhausted to think of anything. And the next day was the same, and again and again. This was my life. I hated it with all my heart. And that thing they said, the two palaces would not share jobs were utter bullshit. Time and time again, I had been sent to clean cars and stables belonging to, Alpha Knox. Luckily for me, no one recognized me. I tried to think of possible ways to leave but the more I thought, the more absurd my ideas were becoming. One day while I was cleaning the stables
" What are going to do now?" Anna held my hand as we walked from work, back to the house. I shrugged. "Don't worry, dear Anna, I'll find a way," I said with a small smile. Anna smiled sadly at me too. She was the first person I met at work. While others were snobby and Rude, she was like a breath of fresh air. Alex had asked me to sleep with him if I wanted to keep my job. I couldn't do that. At least not now, that I didn't know when the alpha would be back. He would go bunkers once he found out I had actually mated with someone else. He might even kill. That was exactly not what I wanted. Anna bid me goodbye at my hostel apartment and left. That night I did a lot of thinking. If I didn't work it would mean no food and no money for rent. These two things kept me on my toes when I escaped. I did not want to live on the streets and beg for food like I did when I first escaped. The next day I decided to go look for a job. I walked all through the day but no one had vacancy. I a
2 weeks later If I had known that walking in the outside world was this brutal, maybe I might not have run away. Firstly, I hid around wearing shawls and all, but even when I found out the alpha was not back, I decided to relax. 2 days later, after sleeping in a shed, a shop owner recommended a job at a cleaning company. And I got it. But then there was a problem. 2 weeks in, the young boss, Alex wanted me to date him. Of course, I said no, but he had a coconut head. He kept chasing me. Staring at me all the time and bringing people's attention to me. I had no option but to try to avoid him. I thought Knox was cocky until I met Alex. One day a general meeting for all staff was going on. While the others listened, I was running around, craning my neck and praying I didn’t get caught. When Alex was called out to speak, I began to sweat profusely. My heart pounded furiously. I was scared that everyone in the room could hear how loud it was. I took in mouthfuls of air as
I jerked awake with such a force. I was panting like I had climbed a wheel. My eyes were wide as I tried to understand what was happening. Where am I? The last thing I remembered was almost drowning. The water was in my throat, eyes, and belly. I had drunk enough and I was full. I was splashing water everywhere, and I screamed for help, but while I struggled, no one came to my rescue. It was while I was screaming that I woke up. I bent my head like a dying flower and wept. Wept so hard. What have I done to deserve this sort of life? Who did I offend? Who were my parents? Maybe if my mum had aborted me, I wouldn’t have to go through all this? It was while I was crying that I remembered what had happened earlier. I was sleeping and heard that noise. I looked down to see myself bound by hands and feet like an animal. Knox! Yes. It must be him. I raised my head, whipping my head around, and then I stopped and squinted. There was a figure at the curtain. I didn’t know what it was.
I ran to and fro, from the corridor to outside where I slept. My bags and clothes were outside. I had to get them to a dry place. But the more I tried to shove the boxes out of the rain, the heavier the rain fell. At some point, droplets of rain felt like huge boulders that hit my back. I felt the pain of each drop, and it hit my back. Leg, head, face. Thunder clapped, and the lightning illuminated the place. I flinched and left every bag I was carrying and ran to the corridor. To the little shelter it could provide. I sat on the ground, and my teeth chattered. I grabbed a cloth and draped it around me. It was when I saw the material that tears began to pour from my eyes. It was a shawl given to me by Lilith in prison If only she was here. ******************************************** “Your Highness!” Someone tapped me, and I woke up. “Yes,” my eyes were wide open as I tried to take in all that was going on around me. “Anna?” she was a close friend of Amelia “Yes” her face had
I spoke at length with Lilith. She told me lots of beautiful things that happened in the prison. Also, she talked about the bad ones. We cried about it. When we stopped crying, Lilith stared at me. "What?" I asked. She smiled. " I know what you are doing?" "And what is that?" I asked smiling. "You are trying not to talk about your ordeal" and then the smile was wiped off my face. I looked at my hands. Lilith tilted my face towards her. "I have been worried about you," she said." But if you are okay not telling me about what you went through, I am okay.,"She smiled. I took a deep breath. Oh, Lilith. I nodded. " I will talk. I need to gather more strength" and she nodded. I went quiet as I tried to collect my thoughts. My eyes watered. "I miss the times we spent together...I mean Amelia" Lilith's eyes went wide. " I mean the good times. She was the only person I Interacted with for months" Lilith stared at me longer before she nodded. "Do you understand?" She nod
All through that night I didn’t sleep a wink. I kept dreaming about seeing Lilith and having a fun time with her. When I woke up the next morning, I didn’t need anyone to tell me that I had been given false hope. Because when I woke up, I found out the Infirmary was moving me to the palace. Back to the alpha’s room. “wait!” I screamed as they tried to lift me off the bed. The nurses stopped, looking at me. “ tell me again, who authorized this discharge? Is the doctor aware? Is the alpha aware?’ one of the nurses turned to me. She gave me this long stare and I regretted asking that last question. It was like she was asking me, why I wanted to play dumb. Didn’t I know who Knox was again? “Obviously, it’s the alpha," one of them said. “Lift her to the wheelchair, don’t let her keep us while she keeps asking us stupid questions,,” the nurse who had stared at me said. I narrowed my eyes at her. “Watch the way you talk to me,” I replied sharply. She turned, facing me. With
