"Iris, be fast. You don't want to be late for the party" Helen yelled from the living room as she walked to the dining with the meal she had prepared for Ignacio but she got no response from Iris.After waiting for a while with no response yet, Helen walked up the stair to Iris's room and knocked gently."Iris, we have to leave soon. He would have been expecting us now" She said but still no response so she opened the door.She saw Iris on the bed, fully covered with the bed sheet and she walked into the room - the door still opened."What do you think you're doing?""I should be the one asking you that question, mom""What's wrong?""I've been the one always doing what you want while Ignacio fails but you shower him with more love. Even if you try to hide it, it's still very obvious""You can't say that, baby. You know I'd chose you over him a thousand times""All because I've been obedient to you""What's all these about?""Just admit it and let me know where I stand""Yes! I love I
"The Ball is starting in few minutes, we have to go out now" Miss Peyton said to Maya and Wenda and they all went to the Grand Hall.The Grand Hall on a normal day was a beauty to behold but the Wolves Day made it more magnificent. Few guest were seated in the hall, all mesmerized by Miss Peyton's beauty and her shiny dress that made her face glistened. She approached the platform with the Golden Ball in her hands and Helen smiled to herself, thinking it was a fake."The feast is going to start in a few minutes so let all us be patient as we wait for the students to join us" her voice reverberated in the hall and people applauded her.Miss Peyton dropped the Ball on the table placed on the platform and went to sit where had been secluded for the instructors. Immediately, the time clocked 10am, the students started trooping in. The families of the students waved at them as they walked to the front to take their seat but Ignacio rolled his eyes as soon as he saw Iris and his mom."Did
Amber closed her eyes and touched the Ball slightly. The Ball opened the revelation."A cursed member of a pack?" Murmurs filled the air as the first sentence was voiced and it was at this point that Amber regrets her actions but Jaeleah patted her shoulders."She is cursed?""I saw her leave the other time, she was trying to avoid the Ball.""She is so shameless. How dare she come back after knowing who she is?""Is she going to spread the curse round the pack?""Isn't the penalty for cursed people death?""It's the first to be received in this pack so we solemnly welcome you. Your life is in your hand. You want to break the curse? You can. You want it to keep lingering? You can. But something special awaits you today because you have been the odd again. Be careful while choosing your mate as your mate can either kill or make you heal. The next few years would be tough, tougher than those you've spent. You think you're going to die soon? No! You have some things to achieve but your d
Miss Peyton cleared her throat and silence fell in the Hall, "Let the party begin while we await the wolf shifting" She said and the students cheered.Miss Peyton rushed to Maya and grabbed her by the arm, "We need to talk now""Is it that important? The party just started""It's important, it's about Alvin""Alvin?"They both went to somewhere quiet and Miss Peyton looked around to be sure there were alone."Talk already. We are the only ones here""I just needed to be sure. I heard Alvin's voice""Is this some kind of a joke? How can you hear his voice? Someone that disappeared twenty years ago""I'm serious, please, believe me. I was eavesdropping on every conversion because of Jenna and I heard his voice. He said he was proud of me""Is this possible? Is Alvin still alive? Could he be in this party?""I think so. Please, let's find him before it's too late""Sure!"*Liza was walking back to the Hall from the restroom and wasn't looking when she bumped into a man on face cap."I'm
Jenna waited patiently for her wolf shift but nothing happened till 12pm when the whole wolf shift dropped. She got infuriated and dragged Helen who was having fun in the party out of the Grand Hall."What is this about? Let go of me" Helen yelled at her and wriggled out of Jenna's grip."What happened? I didn't have my wolf shift""Wolf shift? What does that mean? Your pack is cursed" she retorted, adjusting her dress."Not anymore. A female Alpha was going to be chosen today and it has to be me but the wolf shifting had stopped""Wait! Let me get this straight. You were planning on becoming the female Alpha of your pack?" She scoffed"Yes, got problems with that?" Her face went red as she spoke."So that was why you've been doing all of these? I should have known. As it stands now, someone would have had that shift so what do you intend doing?""I'm going to find her and kill her, then I'll become the Alpha" she gnashed her teeth"Good luck on that!" She said and turned to leave bu
"What? How can that be?""His parents adopted me when they wanted a female child but the doctor warned his mom about getting pregnant again. Since then, he swore that we would live like biological siblings but I was little then to understand. When he found out I was in love with your brother, that was when he revealed the truth to me and I was glad because I was a month pregnant for Alvin then. We thought it would be best to get your blessings first before breaking the news to you but the unexpected happened.""I'm so sorry, Peyton. I should have been more understanding" she said and hugged her"It's fine, I also understood things from you perspective. I would have done worse if I was in your shoes""Amber! I haven't seen her" she snapped as she disengaged from the hug"I'm sure she would be with Jaeleah or Liza"Maya brought out her phone from her back pocket and dialed Liza's number and she picked immediately and sounded excited."Where are you and why do you sound so excited?""I'
"I'm a friend to her sister but I don't necessarily have to see her. I'm here to pay for her treatment" "Her treatment? Do you have such money to pay?" She said and scoffed"You're being rude, young lady" he retorted"I'm sorry, the fee is $2500. How would you like to pay?" She sneered at him"I'm with cash" He said and gave her $3500"That's extra $1000, in case she needs anything else. I'll take my leave now" He said and turned to leave, leaving the nurse bewildered but he suddenly stopped and turned back to her."Tell her sister the fee has been paid. If you try to play smart, I'll find you and treat you right because that money cost my life" He said and left the hospital.*Yana and Adams took Alvin to Yana's house. She had a secret basement that is protected with strong spells."I'll clean up so you can feel at home" She said after she walked down the basement with Alvin"It's fine. Allow me do the cleaning, see it as my payment for helping my sister all these while""Do you kno
"What happened?" Jaeleah asked as Liza ended the call"Someone paid for Anna's medical bill""Who was it?" Miss Peyton asked with all curiosity"He didn't leave his name.""I think everyone needs to rest now" Maya said and they all nodded."I'll take my leave first" Jaeleah said and retreated from the room."Amber can sleep here while the two of you sleeps in her room""Okay, thanks for the hospitality" Liza said.Liza got the room key from Amber and she left the room with Maya."So, tell me. How does it feel to be a wolf?""It feels good"*The next morning, the sun was up before anyone could get up in the school.Miss Peyton slowly opened her eyes and admired the beautiful creature that graced her sight - she wished her baby was alive and one day spend the night together.Amber opened her eyes and caught her staring, "Is there something on my face?""No! I'm sorry for staring" She said and sat up."What now?" Amber asked and Miss Peyton turned back."What do you mean what now?""Now
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
