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.
Today I was happy but angered. For the whole day, I was not going to do any chore but, I was going to somewhere I didn't want to be. Prison. The maids gathered round and donated things like food and snacks and blankets. I would have to present them to someone who I have grown an immense hatred for. Nia. It felt like I was living in her shadow All through the that week, the maids wouldn't stop yapping about how kind the alpha's mate was. It irked me bad. I always caught myself most eye rolling. Amidst all these faux love, there was someone who kept mf uncomfortable. Shelly. She became closer. Like we did almost everything together. At first I thought she was trying to come closer to me but the more she got closer, the more it became obvious she wanted something. Like know my secrets. So I stopped her. I went as far as pissing her off. She got angry and backed off. "Amelia please give this to her majesty" one of the maids said. "She's not yet Luna so you can't address her as
"Amelia are you coming?" I looked up from my food and then shook my head. I had lost all my appetite as I kept waiting for some news. "You guys can head out" I said. Shelly nodded and left with the other maids. The cook walked past me." Hi Felicia" She smiled at me. She began giving me the extra respect when she realized I was the alpha's mate maid. She looked into my plate." You didn't eat anything" I nodded with a small smile. " I'm not feeling good" "Have you tried going to the infirmary" I shook my head. " Oh it's no big deal, it's going to pass" She stared at me longer. " Is it your period?" "Errrmm... Yes" She frowned. " Is that why you are being secretive?" And I chuckled.fonslly she left me when she didn't know what else to say. Thank goodness she left. The cook was a chatter box. As I stood up and dropped my plate, I worried about my plans. I haven't heard anything from Nina or the alpha. Did it work? That old healer promised it would. I sighed. Maybe it didn't.
Alot had change since I let Knox feed from my neck willingly. He had grown sort of kind. Leaving fruits and vegetables beside the bed. Especially ones rich in iron. I tried to see how changed he was but on another thought, Knox might be caring to me because he wanted to. Maybe it was because he wanted to keep his food source flowing. You know, more iron more blood. Well that didn't matter. As long as he was changed, I'm cool. He asked that I stay on the bed too. And when I protested, he told me it was an order. These days he tells me where he was. What he went out to do. It was pretty awkward hearing things about the alpha. I was so used to his silence that I find it hard to come to terms with his words. I helped him quite a number of times. For past few days, he had been feeding consistently from my neck. And yesterday,he said I was free to go to the garden during the day. That was unlike him. Of course I wore a turtle necked gown to cover up my bite marks. And when it came t
I slowly shut my eyes as I waited for him go sink his teeth down my neck. A minute turned to two and then five. All I could hear or feel was Knox's harsh breath on my neck. I blinked. What must be the problem? I tried to disengage from the hug but he held me still. "What is ha—" "Ssshhh" he whispered harshly. " I can feel it. Someone's here" "What?" And so went the silence. I tried to imagine Knox looking around. He was good at sniffing out things. He was smart. That's why I have given up on escaping him or even going against his will. All I wanted now was nothing but peace. For rest of the evening, I heard nothing but crickets. I sighed. I could feel my eyelids grow heavy. I blinked countlessly as I struggled to stay awake. I need to know how this ends. I need to know if this is just one of his plots or what. Slowly I struggled with sleep. Finally it won. It sold me away and went after much struggle. **************************************************************** I jerked
I didn't need to be told, I knew the alpha had killed someone. Or many people. Judging from the weeping I heard down the maid quarters, I know doom has come. Most of the maids were daughters to elders. I still found it hard to believe they people will knowingly put your child through hardship just for an opportunity to the throne. Yes the maids had an opportunity. Their status can quickly change from maid to Luna in waiting if the alpha happen to sleep with them and it could be better if they bare him a child. An heir to the throne. Werewolves can be elitist. Half of the time they don't like to marry or mate with people of a lower class. They abuse the weak amongst themselves. That is why the alpha and Omega system is what is used in picking a mate. But then alpha Knox is not one to wander around with maids. If he was to do something outrageous like that, it would be two things. 1. He was drunk two 2. He has something up his sleeve. So I heard from Amelia. It was during the be
Taking one last look at myself in the mirror, I smiled, liking what I saw in the mirror. Today was another manual labor and I couldn’t wait to see Lilith. Since the last time we saw each other, I hadn’t stopped thinking about our kiss. Oh the things I planned to do to her. I heard a knock on the gate and I instantly looked up, with a smile but that was quickly wiped off. “Sean?” he smiled. “What are you doing here?” he went to open the gate. “I thought you had left with Alpha Amandla” he shook his head. “Not yet” he smiled. “I had to do this before I leave” “Huh?” “Come on we have to leave before it was too late” he pulled me along and we briskly out of the prison amidst all the shouts from the people. When we walked past the chief executioner’s office, I knew it had nothing to do with the alpha. Then we passed the visitation, I knew he didn’t bring Lucas to come visit. I dragged him and he stopped. “Come in bro, we have passed the visitation area, where then
The ugly rumor about Vok made me so angry that I wanted to fight the people talking. One day I was ranting to Lake under the tree, we usually take rest when her face went blank. “… I don’t get why people are so fixated on him, he has a kid and so what? If he leaves who would take care of that child” I scowled. I wrinkled my eyebrow. That was weird. Lake had not said a word to me. She kept staring at me with wide eyes. “What? Are you okay? Is anything wrong with your eyes?” She kept doing it and I almost got angry. “Tell me what it is then? Come on” Someone cleared his voice behind me. I turned around and froze. Then I turned around again to Lake. “Was that why?” She nodded. She swallowed. “Lili I think I need to leave” “Hey—“ “Ssshh” she smiled and ran away. I shut my eyes. Oh no. “Lilith” came that deep voice. “That’s me” Look at me” he said I slowly turned around and there I was met the beauty. Damn! He was way better up front. “How long have you been here?” H
I was no child. I needed no telling that people were talking about it. Everywhere I went there was eyes sure to follow. It didn’t bother me at all. Like I would care what the prison wolves thought about me but I wasn’t just going to sit down and let my good name be tarnished. Hedge turned out to be more resourceful than I thought. After that night, he went on doing things that always made my jaw drop. I tried to get him to stop but he pressed on. Because of how loyal he was, his men also began to be loyal to me. They tried to get me comfortable in the prison. I was like a mini alpha in the prison. Hedge made it easier for me to go to certain places. He was once the king of the prison. It was like he passed his title to me. I was informed of everything. Even to the ones I didn’t want hear. So when we got to the joint gender cafeteria, he quickly told me the reason people were staring at me. “ Boss everyone now knows you had passed up on the offer of being an alpha by marrying
I felt someone kick my leg and I immediately looked down. It was that young guard. He leaned into my ear. “Sir someone wants to see you” he said. I nodded and stood up but not without giving that girl from the other time a look. I was not going to ignore the fact I found her attractive but then there was something else. I just couldn’t put my hands on it. There was a pull. She was the only distraction I had after rejecting that offer from Alpha Amandla. I still feel lost not seeing him. I wonder how he was doing. My little boy. Lucas. It killed me being away from him not to talk of never seeing him again. Well I had all the time in here to find that out. I was called into the chief executioner’s office like the last time. “Wow it’s a crowd in here” I smiled. The alpha, Sean, Amandla, and the chief executioner was in. “Sir” he bowed to me. I tilted my head to a side. What was this now? Alpha Knox smiled. “The chief executioner here did a very good job last time” the man was gr
