"Fred? What time was it?""It was around 5pm, why?""Fred was not back by then, could it be my own Fred?" She thought"Fred is my mate, the one I talked to you about" She has said before she scented Helen who had heard most of the discussion and stood there with a smile and a tray in her hands.Helen walked in and dropped the tray on the table and turned to leave."How long have you been standing there?""I just got here, sweetie. I have no course to eavesdrop on your conversion" She said and shut the door after she stepped out of the house."Do you know he's a captain?" Ignacio asked in almost a whisper."I only know him to be an engineer. I have to see him now. We need to talk" She sprang up to her feet."Calm down, Iris. At least, with what he did, it shows that he doesn't have any bad intention towards any of us and since he loves you, we can use that to our advantage.""No! If all of these turns out to be true, then it's over between us!" She retorted, staring at the wall and Ign
Ignacio took a sharp look at her, "What do you mean by the wedding would not hold?""I have a plan but I need you to help me""No, Iris. I can't interfere in Adrian's plan""Or what? He's going to tell Amber that mom is responsible for taking over her dad's properties?""Stop forcing things, Iris. This is where we say goodbye and I'm okay with it""She know already and that was why she came the last time to talk to you about it. She knew and hold no grudges against you. She really cares about you and asks about your welfare a lot from me""But does this really matter? She mustn't marry the wrong mate as it would cost her life""What if you happen to be her mate? You still haven't found your mate, have you? Just do me this one favour.""Okay, what do you want me to do?"*Amber left the house that evening after the airing of her wedding and went to a small lake situated few miles away from her home and sat at the bank, humming a song as she watched the fishes with great ecstasy as they
Amber woke up, panting and beads of sweats rolled down her body as she tried to catch her breath."What's wrong? Why did you scream like that?" Liza asked"It's nothing, just a bad dream. I'm sorry I interrupted your sleep""It's fine. You should go back to sleep now" Liza said and retired back to sleep.Amber tried to sleep but couldn't stop thinking about what her Alpha had said to her in the dream and this made her extremely scared."What if Adrian is not my mate? What if I already distanced myself from my real mate? How do I get to find him now?" She thought as silent tears wet her pillow.She cried herself back to sleep.The next morning, Amber was at the dining with Liza and Maya when she got a call from Iris."Hey, baby girl. How are you doing this morning?""I'm fine, and you?""I'm super good. I wanted to tell you that Adrian is holding a surprise for you this noon""Really? But he never told me about it""That's why it's called a surprise, silly.""Sure but how come you know
Amber slowly opened the door with tears in her eyes and Adrian turned his back and was startled to see Amber. He quickly hung up the call and decided to pretend as if all is well."Hey, baby. What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He asked in a soothing voice as he approached her "Don't you dare even pretend, you scumbag!" She yelled and he took some steps back."So everything you've been telling me is a lie? You have been patiently waiting for me to get my dad's properties back so it can be handed over to you? What gave you such effrontery?"Adrian, seeing that he is caught up in his game decided that he would not be the only one losing one so he decided to tell Amber the whole truth and how it all started."Helen and your mom Jenna gave me the job to get all that you have while they pay me peanut. They later wanted Ignacio to do it but seeing how rebellious he was, they had no better option than me but they kept using Iris and Ignacio to make plots to make it look like I saved you. Al
"Angel? How can you tell me you don't know her? She's your mom's sister and accomplice, she's the real one in charge of my dad's properties, under the command of your mom" Amber said and Ignacio seemed to look surprised."My mom? She has a sister? How come we don't know about her?" He asked himself aloud."What do you mean by that? You don't know Angel?""This is the first time I'm hearing that name. Can I tag along tomorrow, please?""Sure!""I'd love to see some things for myself.""No problem. Thanks for being here with me, I feel very relieved talking to you. I have to go now, I'm sure your girl would be waiting for you" She shied away as she said the last sentence and stood up to leave.Ignacio sat there and watched her take some steps away before he got up to his feet, "I wish I had a girl waiting for me" He said and Amber pulled to a halt, turned back to look at him."What do you mean? What about your mate?""Can't you see? I don............." Amber cut in abruptly as she felt
Iris and Fred lodged at the same hotel they lodged at the last time."I'm going to take a quick shower" Iris said as they walked into the room, taking off her clothes."C'mon, Mona Lisa. I'm here and you want to take a bath by yourself? That is not possible. I'll going to bath you and my baby" He said, rubbing her tummy while she giggled but the beeping of Fred's phone interrupted the moment.Fred brought out the phone, it was a call from his mom so he answered it.."Hello, honey" He said in a sweet voice that made Iris frowned but he did not notice it as he was engrossed in the call."Hey, son. There is a job you need to do urgently""What, mom? Not this time!" He lamented"Why? What's the problem?""I'm with my girl and I don't plan on leaving her tonight" He said as he looked at her and kissed her lips."Hey, Fred. Listen up! This is work and whoever that woman is, I'm sure you would be needing money to maintain her so get your ass right here. Mrs. John requested that you lead the
Fred drove Iris to her house and waited in the car while she later emerged with Ignacio."Good morning, Fred.""Morning, Ignacio. Trust your night was good?""Yes. Thanks."They all settled in the car, Fred revved the car into motion and drove off to the school. When they got to the school gate, Ignacio called Amber."Hey, baby. We are at the front of the school gate""Okay. I'll be there in a jiffy" She said and hung up.After few minutes of waiting, Amber got to where they were, got in the car and directed them to Jaeleah's house. Miss Peyton, Alicia and Jaeleah were already waiting at the door when they arrived, they got in Mr. Raul's car and drove off with Fred's car following them. After about an hour of driving, Fred began to feel unease as Alicia drove into his street and he was confused who this secret sister of his lover was but not until Alicia pulled over in front of his house and they all alighted from the car."Excuse me, ma'am!" Fred called out to Alicia and rushed towa
"What?" Was what escaped from Fred's lips as he looked back at Angel."You just said you don't know them, mom" Fred said as he slowly sat beside Angel."I was lying, son. I know Alicia very well, she happens to be the lawyer of Kyle, a secret lawyer and she has all Kyle's properties in her care but she was not ready to release the details to us, that was why we decided to tamper with the box and told the hospital to tell her that she can't deliver the child on her own.""Who is ‘us’?" Fred asked"Helen and I""Are you two really sisters?" Iris asked"Yes, Helen is my sister.""This whole thing is getting more confusing" Miss Peyton snapped."If you're Helen's sister, that makes you a witch as well so how come Fred is a wolf?" Ignacio asked."That is because I'm also a wolf, same as his late father""So how the heck are you Helen's sister?" Amber retorted"I was adopted by her parents after I lost mine at an early age. Though her parents never wanted me, she convinced them to take me i
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
