"A date? I would think about it" she said and packed the laptop."Are you silly? What are you thinking about? You should accept immediately." Whitie whined"No! He would see me to be cheap""Okay then, I would be expecting your response. How about we exchange contacts?" He asked"That's perfect" She said and collected his phone and inputted her number."Thanks. I'll give you a call when I'm done from work" he said and watched Iris retreat from the shop.Iris walked back home with the laptop and walked up the stairs to her room. She locked the door behind her, walked further into the room and put the laptop on the table and walked into the bathroom. She eased herself and walked back to the room. She pulled out a chair, sat on it and booted the laptop. After booting, she went to the saved files of the tech connected to Amber's necklace and found out that Amber had started the coronation, and also found out about the fortune teller, Anita she talked to."Something is fishy about this An
"What! What do you mean by that? Is this some sort of a joke or prank?""You think I'm joking? Then just watch me get married to someone else""Where is all of these coming from?""You should have at least told me. I trusted you with everything""I know and that is why I'm sorry. What can I do to make it up to you?""Let's plan our wedding as soon as possible""Why is that?" Amber asked in a bit of suspicious tone."People knows you are the Alpha now, they would want to seek your hand in marriage and you might find a better candidate than me so it's better if we do the wedding early""It's fine, I get your point and even as the Alpha now, my position demands that I get a Luna so that won't take that long, my future Luna""Okay then. Bye, I love you" He said and hung up."This is the best deal I have done in my life. Not only did I get paid by those two losers, Helen and Jenna to get close to Amber, I also discovered that she is a billionaire's daughter and now, she is the Alpha. Every
"I have to run along now" Amber said and exited the house.The cafe was only a throw stone from the house so she walked, she saw Jenna from the entrance and halted, admiring her and those time she used to think she was her mom. Despite her being evil, Amber couldn't help but feel pity for her as she was mostly on the losing team - she lost Kyle, Fiorella and Maya's love, she as her child, Kyle's properties and she lost the crown she so much longed for. Amber shook her head subconsciously and their eyes met. Amber cleared her head of the thoughts and walked into the cafe."Have you been here for long?" Amber asked as she pulled out a chair for herself"No, I just arrived. I'll order something nice for you" She said with one of the sweetest smile Amber could remember that she has."Okay then"Jenna called the waitress and ordered for two cups of cappuccino which was brought to the table about two minutes later."Thank you" They both mumbled as the waitress served them the coffee and wal
The next day, Amber left the house and went to Adrian's. She knocked on the door and he opened with a smile that Amber returned with a glare. He shut the door and walked behind her."What is wrong, babe?" He asked as Amber sat on the couch."Why did you lie to me?""What do you mean? Come clean""Why didn't you tell me the person in charge of my dad's properties was Helen?""How did you find out?""Aren't you going to answer my question?" She yelled."Calm down, babe. I didn't want to ruin the kind of relationship you have with him so I was thinking of a better way to break the news to you""Okay then. The counsel called me this morning about getting my Luna coronated" She said after a sigh and Adrian's eyes got lit."What did they say?""The coronation would be in a month time so we have to get married before then, may be a week before the coronation""Wow! This is the greatest news I've heard in ages. I would have you all to myself very soon" He held her hands with great excitement
"It's fine. I'll leave then" She said and got up"Are you mad at me?" He asked, with his gaze fixed on the ground."Of course not. I understand you""Okay, so can I pick you up tonight? For a date?" He asked with a pretty smile."Not now, Fred. I have lot of things going on now, I don't have such time" She said and retreated from the shop.* Amber walked into the house, disappointment written over her as she dragged her feet to her room."What is wrong with you, Amber?" Maya asked as she walked to her room but she gave her no response and Maya followed her in.Liza looked at them in shock as they walked in. Amber dropped on the bed, her tears oozing on the pillow."What is wrong with her?" Liza asked Maya in a whisper."I also don't know." She said and turned to Amber who was really crying out her lungs."What is wrong, sweetie? You know you can always talk to mummy. I don't like seeing you in tears. Please, talk to me." She said in a pleading tone Amber sniffed in the tears, slight
"I also don't know""Helen used to be Cooper's wife until he mysteriously disappeared. Could it be that Kyle had a deal with Helen that I do not know about?" Miss Peyton thought.*Jaeleah had just stepped out of her room when Alicia saw her."Are you going somewhere?" Alicia asked."Yea, I'm going to the school. I miss Miss Peyton""Oh! Give me a minute, let me pack Raul's meal so you can give it to him""Okay, mom. I'll be waiting" Jaeleah said as she sat on the couch and Alicia went to the kitchen.After about ten minutes, Alicia emerged from the kitchen with a lunch box in her hand and then handed it to Jaeleah. The school was close to their house so she trekked to the school. She saw her father immediately she stepped into the school and she handed him the food."Here you go, dad. I have to run along now" she said as she handed him the lunch box and sprinted to the Grand Hall.Jaeleah interrupted Miss Peyton's conversion with the knock."I'll go get it" Amber said and went for t
Miss Peyton raced to the window with the note squeezed tightly into her hand but she didn't see anyone around so she sprinted out of the room till she got to the gate, looking for anyone strange but there was none. Miss Peyton approached Mr. Raul at the security unit and asked him if he had seen anyone strange."Good afternoon, Mr. Raul. Have you seen anyone strange pass through here today?""Not at all, madam. Why? Is everything okay?""Yeah, sure" She said but still looked around and sprinted back to her room, still holding tight to the note.She sat on the edge of the bed and was about to dial Amber's number when Alvin walked in and she rushed to hug him."Where have you been?" She asked in almost a shaky voice***"Here! I don't know if she came here herself or sent someone, she must be watching me and Aria could be in danger" She said as she handed him the note but before Alvin could give a reply, Aria did."Danger? Nothing can endanger Aria" She said as she bounced in with each
"Sure!" Her response was sharp and fast which Ignacio was not expecting."You should leave and never return. Someone like you do not deserve this kind of love" She said and retreated from his room.Iris ran back to her room in tears while Ignacio stood there, watching her with his heart broken to shred. Iris threw herself on the bed, weeping when the ringing of her phone got her attention - it was Fred."Hello" She said softly after a quick sniff, trying to keep her voice firm."Hi, Iris. What is wrong? Have you been crying?" He asked, a little bit worried."Not really. Can we see tonight? Probably for a drink? I need to gather my pieces together" "Sure but you have to tell me what is going on!" He said with a little sense of sentiment and command."Tell you? Fuck you! You couldn't even help me? You know what? I don't even want to talk to you anymore""I'm sorry. I didn't mean what happened earlier. Maybe I can be of help if you explain what is going on to me.""Are you willing to he
The day of the anniversaryAmber had woken up a bit sluggishly that morning, she was not supposed to spend the night with Ignacio since they planned to retake their wedding vows - it was like they were just getting married for the first time. She got out of bed, her hair was a mess and she sat in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection as if it was new. "Am I still going to exist tomorrow?" She thought to herself.It was 8 in the morning and the make-up artists were at the door but she wouldn't allow them in. She cried for hours before words later got to Maya and she went to her room and knocked on the door."Hey, baby girl. It's me, your mom. Please, open up" Maya pleaded as her heart ached.The door lock made a clinging sound, she later opened the door. Maya grabbed the knob, opened the door, and went in."Hey, child." She called out and took a seat beside her on the bed."I know how you feel but it's going to be fine." She assured in a shaky voice, she wished she had kept
Two years later (a week to Amber's wedding anniversary.)Amber laid on the bed that morning, sound of metal clinging together, aroma of different meal and the chattering of people filled the air but Amber could hardly hear them. Ignacio turned to her and poked her nose."Hey, pretty. What's wrong? It's too early to have that gloomy look on""I'm not in the mood for jokes this morning, please" She said, still not moving a muscle."Why? What's wrong?""You're asking me what's wrong? Really?" She shot a sharp glare at him."Wow! Calm down, babe. I know what's going on in your mind but you don't have to think of all these. Okay, let's look at it from this angle. What if you were diagnosed with a terminal disease and you only have five years to live of which you have only one week left, would you just do nothing and stay in bed all day?""No!" She hesitated"That's the point. I'm sure you're going to live your life to the fullest, explore things and places you want to. So stop this and let
Jennifer was playing with Prince Damon, giggling aloud when a familiar figure walked into the living room. She was so engulfed in the playing with Prince Damon that she didn't notice the man and everyone kept mute and waited for her to look up. Prince Damon threw his ball at the feet of the man, she got up to go get it. Picking it up and standing straight before him, she couldn't believe her eyes - it was Cooper."Cooper? Is that you?" She asked, shocked and surprised. "Yes. Who are you? Why do you have Jennifer's scent but look like Helen?""You should have your seat first, dad" Ignacio said and he he turned at his direction.He wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words so he sat and waited for someone to explain what was going on until his eyes fell on Amber."Yes, you. You have been to the hospital and promised to tell me what's going on. Why do I look this old? The man that followed me down here said this is 2023 and the nurse said that I had been in the hospital
Alicia got scared and quickly called Mr. Raul."Hey, sweetie. Our baby is in danger" She said in a shaky voice."Calm down and explain to me what's going on"Alicia explained what had happened to Mr. Raul."What? What was she thinking? I'll go meet with Alpha Amber now. You go to her and see if you can help her.""Okay, dear" she said and ended the call.She grabbed a few things she thought she might be needing and rushed out of the house. She got into the car, ignited it and drove off at a fast speed. After about twenty minutes of driving, she arrived at the hospital. She raced out of the car and was about running into one of the wards when a nurse stopped her."Please, calm down, ma'am. This is not allowed in here. Who are you looking for?" The chubby nurse asked in a calm voice."Cooper...... I'm here to see Cooper" She panted heavily."Okay, I'll take you to his ward" She said and led the way to his ward but she was rather too slow for Alicia.Once they opened the door, they found
The very next day, Jaeleah went to the hospital where Cooper was. She met a skinny nurse at the reception."Good morning, nurse. I'm here to see Mr. Cooper" She said with a smile but the nurse glared at her and rolled her eyes."How are you related to him?" She asked few seconds later."I can't disclose that but Alpha Amber instructed me to check up on him today.""Oh! You must be Jaeleah" She said with a fake smile and Jaeleah nodded with a glare."I'm sorry. His ward is the last one by the left on the first floor" she said and Jaeleah went towards the direction without saying a word."So pompous!" The nurse cussed.Jaeleah looked back with a grin."I heard what you just said. Be careful!." She warned and went her way.Jaeleah had seen him from the window before she walked into the ward. Cooper was placed on a life saving machine, his skin was pale and had developed bed sore but was neatly treated. She moved closer to him and felt his pulse and other vital organs and she shook her h
A week later (at the Blue pack school)It was the Wolves Day Feast of another set of young wolves and this was special because Alpha Amber and her family were invited and Miss Peyton was going to surprise her daughter.The ceremony started in the early afternoon with one of the school instructor giving an opening speech and followed by Miss Peyton. She was dressed in a bright purple dress that rested comfortably on her knees - she looked deeply happy as she mounted the platform to address the audience."Good afternoon, all. I want to thank you all for honouring my invitation to be here today to celebrate the young wolves who are going to be joining the society today. Special thanks to Alpha Amber, one of our past students for making time out of her busy schedules to make it down here today. Today is a really special day in my life as it helps me reconnect with my friends, family and loved ones. Without taking much of our time, let the ceremony begin." She concluded and loud applaud fi
Two days later, Amber, Ignacio, Angel, the journalist, Iris and Jennifer met at a bus station close to Amber's house. They drove down to a small village in the city where the caller (Amelia) lived. Iris, Ignacio and Jennifer were all nervous while the journey was on - they don't know what to expect.After about two and half hours drive, the cars pulled to a halt in front of a tattered house. They all alighted from the car, Amelia was at the door to welcome them."Welcome to my tattered abode, Alpha Amber" She bowed in respect."Thanks" She mumbled.She gestured them in. She served them some chilled water and sat on one of the rugged chairs."Thank you all so much for honouring me by coming down here""It's our utmost pleasure" Angel said"So, may we please begin the show?" The journalist asked."Sure, go ahead" Amelia responded.The cameras were switched on and the airing began."Good morning to all our viewer. Here we are to round up the story we started last week, with Mrs. Jennifer
Jennifer pointed at a guard and Amber ordered that he be brought out to the front."Are you sure, aunt Jennifer, that he was the one that delivered the letter to you?""I can't be wrong. He's the one" She responded firmly.Amber turned to take a look at the guard."Were you the one that delivered a letter to her?" She asked but the guard kept mute."You think this is a kind of joke, don't you? Give me the gun" She turned to the chief guard and commanded.He handed her a gun and she pointed it at the timid guard."I'll ask just once more. Were you the one that delivered the letter to her?" She roared."Yes, yes!" He trembled in fear."Good!" She let out a soft huff."Who instructed you to give her the letter?""It was Jenna, the woman in the prison. She offered me a taste of her body and In return, I was to deliver the letter to her.""You know Jenna is a hardened criminal and you dare help her against my permission?""I'm sorry, Alpha Amber. Please, pardon me!" He went to his knees a
Jennifer was confused if Jenna really had the power to wake Cooper but she is a real witch and can actually do it. She was about to agree on the deal when she had a rethink and decided to talk to Angel about it first. She took the letter and headed to Angel's room.She knocked softly on the door."Come in" Angel responded to the knock.The door opened and Jennifer walked it. She pulled out a small stool and sat down. She stretched the letter to Angel who received it with her brows raised."What's this?" She asked as she took the letter from her."Read it"Angel unfolded the letter and went through it. "Wow! This Jenna is really the devil. How could she even think of such plot?" She asked rhetorically, her gaze still on the letter.Then she looked up at her."This could only implicate you. I don't think you should get yourself involved in any of this. I mean, if she wanted to help Cooper, she would have done it long before now.""That's true!" Jennifer nodded."I don't want to fall vi
