Present day: day forty"Today is the last day. If she doesn't wake up today then there's nothing we can do.""We can only hope that she makes it out alive""What about we hide her? She just need to be safe till the end of tomorrow""Someone that found out I was going to carry out a ritual on her, almost killed me, knows where Maya's child is, do you think such person won't find out where we're going to hide her?"Amber's eyes glistened with tears and she moved closer to Maya, wriggled her hand into hers and looked at her face, "You have to prove to them that you're my mom, Maya. I need you to get up. Mom!" She said the words in a soothing tone but screamed the last one as she buried her head in tears but she suddenly felt a move from Maya's hand."Mom? I think she's getting conscious" Amber yelled at Jaeleah and Wenda and they moved closer to the bed."I'll go get the doctor" Jaeleah said and sprinted out of the ward.Minutes later, she came back with a doctor. The doctor checked her
Fiorella opened the door to her apartment and found Hazel seating on the couch."So you were having a nice time with my man?" She asked, swaying her waist on the couch."He is not your man, Hazel. He explained everything to me, how you told him nasty things about me, confessed your love to him and got him drunk to impregnate you""Wow! I guess you guys had a long chat. Yes! I did all of that but do you know why?" She walked to the window as she spoke but stopped abruptly and looked back, racing back to Fiorella with a silver dagger in her hand"Because I'm not a coward like you and I get whatever I want" she yelled, sprinted to her and was about to stab her when Jaeleah dragged her away"What happened? You shouldn't be able to escape this" she looked shocked to her bones*Maya looked at Jaeleah, "How did this happen? I thought the past can't be changed?""And that is why this is not the past. That Hazel made this look like the past so she could either kill you or trap your soul in he
"What? I did! I returned to him but he was gone""You came too late" her soothing voice was not enough to console Maya"Can I see what Hazel did to him that night and what I was doing when I left?""Sure, just communicate that to Fiorella and we'll see it" she said and Maya did that*Fiorella rushed out of the hospital to see Peyton."Hey, Peyton. Where are you now?" She asked as soon as she picked the call"I'm at home, what's the problem? You sound worried""It's nothing, I'll be there soon" She said and got in a taxi.The taxi halted in front of her house and she stepped out of the car and went into the house. She saw Aiden and Peyton together and this infuriated her."I've told you you can't be with her, Aiden. I'm pregnant with Kyle's baby" "But I love her, what would you have me do?" Alvin walked closer to Fiorella, his eyes pleading to her."Why won't you let this work, Fiorella? We're in love, the same way you and Kyle are in love so why is our love impossible?" Peyton added
Miss Peyton began to pace round the room, looking at the time."What's going on with them? Don't you think we should separate them or something?" Yana asked"And what happens when we do that? What if we kill them in the process?" Miss Peyton snapped"But this is taking longer than expected" Amber's shaky voice said"Calm down, Amber. Jaeleah won't let anything happen to her, I'm sure she would be back soon" Liza pulled her closer for a hug."This is few minutes to midnight. What if they don't wake up before the........." Miss Peyton was interrupted.She was interrupted when Maya sprung up, panting and grasping for breath, Amber and Liza rushed to her."How was it? Did you finish it?" Amber asked in a sequential mannerMaya ignored the question and looked at Jaeleah, she was pale and cold, "We need to save her, Peyton. She's going to die""What do you mean by that?" Yana asked and moved closer to them"The price for using that box is her life""What?" Liza exclaimed and looked at Jael
Yana called Adams and they agreed to meet at a restaurant near Jenna's duplex. Yana drove down to the restaurant and took a seat by the window side so she could see Adams when he's coming in.She waited for a while but Adams wasn't there yet and she began to feel uneasy. She threw her head backwards on the round chair and pouted her lips as she blew out hot air. She looked at her phone and realized that Adams was already 30 minutes late, she sat up and was about to call him when she saw him approaching."I'm sorry I'm late, something came up" he apologized as he pulled out a seat for himself"As usual? You're always late, try to change that about yourself or you won't stand a chance with me" she snapped"Does that mean you're considering being my woman?" He gave her a funny but romantic look"Until you change!" She yelled at him and walked out of the restaurant and Adams followed her."You should slow down. You really look pretty when you get angry like that""Why don't I just get ang
"What do you think of Amber? Today, she would be an odd again, just like the first time she came here" Wenda said"There isn't much I can do for her, you know how she is but I'll make sure she doesn't get hurt" Said Peyton"I wish she could know the kind of danger she's in""About the Ball? We need to get it here before the ceremony""Sure. Let's go to my place"*"Let me make you a cup of coffee first""There would be no need for that, Wenda. We're already running out of time""Okay. Let me go get the Ball then" She said and went to her room while Miss Peyton sat on the couch to wait for herFew minutes later, Wenda came back to the living room with the Ball wrapped in a piece of blue cloth."Thanks for this, I'll forever be indebted to you""It's nothing. Let's rush back to the school."The two ladies walked out of the house, got in Wenda's car and drove off to the school. It was 9:00 am when they arrived at the school and Miss Peyton's eyes fell on Amber's door as she walked passed
"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
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
