“Don't touch me!” I barked. They didn't heed to my words as they threw me into the room. One of the guards stared me in the face and shoved me harder than expected. I landed in my butt. “Owwww” I yelped. “Stay here and don't come out!” He growled. The moment they left me alone in the room, I began to pace. I felt like a butterfly put in a bottle. Just then I opened my hands and there was crumbled up pain in it. I arched an eyebrow. What was this? I didn't recall having to get a paper on my way here. Slowly I unwrapped thr crumbled mess and began to read. And I did that countless times, till my eyes became blurry. It read. Meet me at the water fall tonight, if you want to get out of here alive. I froze. What was this? Was it that guard that shoved me? I read it again. The more I read, the more anxious I became. A part of me wanted to meet him. “I’m sorry your highness, I didn’t mean to do that” she begged. I raised a hand. “Its okay” she nodded. She was packing
The music was soft, slow glowing around as I watched people walk around me like a furniture. I was on attendance to this event because Maximus had upgraded me from a maid to a Luna in waiting. The jealousy I have received in just few minutes of arrival, were humongous to count. Everywhere I looked, there was someone glatong my way. Maximus had thrown a ball in celebration of his success in the siege of the Femwood pack. I stood by watching the banished lunas comfortable in the midst of their enemies. They engaged I. Silly conversation on which guard from the blue moon pack was the most handsome. Spine less women. While they stay and smile like buffoons, maids were in the back slaving all through. Disgust filled my belly and I was this close to vomit. As I sipped on my drink, I felt some sort of unease all over me. I knew someone was looking at me. I could see them the lady at 6’oclock with ugly looking wig. The woman at the door with a hideous make you to cover her insecurities. An
Pacing the end of the hall I looked up to the VIP section. Your Highness was yet to come out. I was sure the party was over but she was nowhere to be found. Even maximus and seven Hawkins had left the venue but I couldn't find her. Was she found? Overwhelmed with worry I began to go up the VIP section. “hey you! “Someone yelled behind me. I froze but I kept going. I just wanted to reach the end of the VIP section. I just wanted to know if anyone was still up there. I hoped she had not been killed or something. “are you hard of hearing! I said stop! “The voice was harsher and closer. I immediately stopped. “turn around “the voice behind me ordered. I took in a deep breath and slowly turned. “Marcus?”It was the chief of the bodyguards. I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it was him. This will be easy to get out of. “Hey chief” I laughed nervously. “What are you doing up here?” His eyes roamed the room behind me. I looked down and sighed. “ Is anything wrong?” he
“I can’t believe this” I muttered as tears began to pool in my eyes. He sighed and looked away. Marcus was hurt when I told him Amelia had died. I apologized fot not coming to the meeting because I was too hurt. Too hurt to think about anything other than my pain. I had lost a friend. And no one was going to help us. “I wonder why Alpha Knox didn't come?” I said. “you are his mate. He should be running in now” he said turning back to stare at me. I couldn’t hold it all in as I sobbed quietly. No one cares about me. Even the f*e that did either died or are suffering. I thought of Lilith. I might never get to meet her again. Few minutes passed and when my cries had been reduced to just sniffs, he cleared his throat. “There’s more bad news?’ I glared at him and he nodded. “Then out with it” I snapped. The moment I did, I felt worse. This man was not to blame for anything but I felt angry. Enough with the pain. “I’m sorry” I muttered but he stopped me with a wave of his hands “It’s
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
I raised an eyebrow. “What did you say?” I growled. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “She’s in the prison, your highness,” Vok said and looked away. “How did she get there?” I snapped. “The elders made the decision; I couldn’t do anything,” he said. “They needed someone responsible for that incident and no matter how I tried to make them see that Nina was innocent, that morning, nobody listened to me. “Which elder was spearheading this?” “Elder Abram” I gritted my teeth. That old man has bitten more than he can chew. My nose flared; well, he had a point. Those elders can make one go loco. I pitied Vok fir a moment. He was more of a swordsman. He knew absolutely nothing about alpha politics. So that was why I cut him some slack. “I hope she has not been harmed.” Vok shook his head. “Not a hair on her head.” “Good” “Go and call the elders, we are going to sit” “Now?” “Yes,” came my sharp answer. I wasn’t going to let Nina spend another night in prison. My head was r
It was the summer before I was declared heir alpha of winter fell. Everyone was around me like flies would do to poop I hated it. And I matter how I tried to tell him that I wasn’t comfortable with the way people looked at me, he always said one quote. I think it sounded like uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. He said I was chosen to lead and there was no buts. I grudgingly agreed. So one weekend dad sent me on a mission outside the pack to capture an enemy oak. I was scared as hell but the last thing I would ever do is complain. Mom didn’t ever want to listen. So I went with the pack army for a surprise attack. Dad didn’t want to send me but he had to. The elders were beginning to grumble. He just bowed to pressure. “Listen up guys we camp here for the night!” Stan my beta in training commanded and cousin said... We had been marching since dawn. The road to the Night howlers pack wasn’t this far but due to the fact, that we were attacking them unannounced, we want
It was with a mix of anxiety and anger that I took in the information. Vok wanted to see me. What for now? Was he going to come with his fiancée or what? Why in the world would he want to see me after what he had done to Lilith? As I made my way out of my cell, I prepared in my head, a bucketful of words that were not only going to hurt Vok but I’ll leave him tossing and turning on bed. The only thing I couldn’t do was smack him right in the face. Leaving Lilith just like that was enough but I understand, none of that was his fault but why would he want to make that worse. But no matter how evil and rotten and wicked I had arranged my words for Vok, nothing at all prepared me for what I would see at the visitation room. Seeing Vok in visitation was clear proof that something as wrong. Then when I walked in to see his hands laced together with Amelia’s, I lot all my speech abilities. If I had the power, I would immediately turn my head around and run, but I couldn’t. “Wow” I
“Nina! Nina! Wait! “A voice screamed behind me and I turned around. I narrowed my eyes. I swear if I was not feeling an inch sleepy, I would have said that was Lilith. But what was Lilith doing in my cell side and especially this early morning. “Nina wait!” then I saw clearly. My eyes widened. It was indeed Lilith. Two female wardens stood before her, stopping her to get to me. “You can’t come any closer, without permission” She begged. “I need to speak to my friend. It ‘very urgent. I won’t take most of your time” she struggled with them. “Step back!” Lilith was staring into my eyes. “Nina I need to talk to you” I didn’t know what to do but I knew I had to do something before it was too late. I broke free from the arms of the female wardens holding me captive. “Miss Nina” they stood in my way as she dragged me roughly. I glared at them. “You should know I am the alpha’s vessel” and immediately they let me go. “Let her come to me” I ordered to the others. They exchan
The chilling night air carried the scent of rain down earth as I sat beside Lilith. We had finished diner and I could see a story coming up with the way she was looking at me. Lilith had been uncharacteristically quiet all night. It wasn’t like her. My best friend was the kind of girl who filled every silence with a sharp remark or a ridiculous observation. But tonight, she was lost in thought, lips pressed together as if holding back a secret that was threatening to burst free. She kept telling me to wait as she would tell me the story soon. So I let her be. I bumped my shoulder against hers. “Okay, spill it. You’ve been acting weird all night.” She exhaled, finally glancing my way. “It’s… complicated.” I stopped walking, folding my arms. “So uncomplicated it.” Lilith hesitated, then turned to face me fully. “It’s about my love for Vow.” That name hit like a gust of cold wind. “Love? Vok?” I repeated. “As in, Beta Vok? The guy who was released and has a son?” Lilith let o
I froze. Poison? How could that be? I mean I was okay but. I still collapsed or something. "I went out that day. Maybe the person gave me something to eat knowing—" I gasped. That meant someone else knew that the alpha was an active pool vampire. "I don't think so but that is a probability" Sean said. "I—" suddenly the door swung up and I didn't get to say what I wanted. "Sir, elder Abram is doing a routine check in the prison,we have to return Miss Nina back" the female warden said. My heart flew. Vok cursed. "That elder Abram is getting on my nerves" "Quick you have to leave" Sean said. He grabbed my hands and we began to run. A lot was happening so fast. I had no time to assimilate anything. And just like that I was now in my cell. I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye to Vok but something told me that we would be seeing again. With the way he was taking. I knew we had a lot to discuss. I thought the gamma that had helped me escape. I had never seen him. Where ha
Looking at the gifts in my hands, I didn't k on what to think. I was confused. Why would Amelia just run of like that? Was anything chasing her? I shrugged and took the gifts back to my cell and then I began to unwrap. There was little food and done heart warming letters. I read them and tears wouldn't stop streaming down my eyes. I looked around me and the tears wouldn't stop rushing. I had no cell mate. No one was around me either. I was kept in a special cell. Like the ones for people who would be soon killed. Do you know what it feels like? Like any moment now you could be breathing your last. The guards can just come in and carry you off to the silver house or to be hung. What hurt me the most was not that I was dying but because I was dying for something I was about important. If I wanted to kill Knox, I could have tried long ago but I couldn't and didn't. A lot had changed since I stayed with him. He's changed and I have no reason to kill him. I have cried enough th
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.
