"Here you go, Miss Peyton" The lady at the counter said and Miss Peyton turned to pay and get the food from her.She looked back and Aria was nowhere to be found. She shrugged her shoulders and left the cafe.Aria crawled out of her hiding place and the lady at the counter raised a brow as they made eye contact but Aria faked a smile."Why did you hide from her? Are you a spy?" The lady's eyes changed as if she wanted to transform to a wolf as she growled. "It's nothing, I'm not just too used to people around me" She said as she blinked her beautiful eyes repeatedly."What do you want to get?""I would like to have a burger and cup of orange juice" She said"Here you go" The lady said, handing her a tray of meal."Thank you" Aria mumbled as she paid and took the tray to a table.*Miss Peyton was walking down the corridors when she saw Alvin approaching."Hey, babe. Are you still mad at me?" Alvin asked as soon as he came close.Miss Peyton shrugged one of her shoulders, "You watched
Maya saw Amber and Adrian kissing and it took them a while to realize that someone was watching them."Mom?" Amber said in shock as she turned back to see her mom by the door."What is he doing here?" Maya growled as she approached them."I invited him over" "To kiss him? Do you know the kind of situation the family is right now? And all you could think of is inviting your lover over to kiss him?" She asked, half yelling."So what would you have me do? Sit all day the room, staring at those performing the ritual? Is that what you want?" Amber talked back, also raising her voice but Maya responded with a hot slap across Amber's face.Amber rubbed her cheek and looked back at Maya and walked out of the room with Adrian running after her.Adrian grabbed Amber's wrist and pulled her to a hug, "It's fine, babe. I never should have come her, it's all my fault""No, Adrian. We are seeing each other and they know about it so they should deal with with if they can't accept the fact that I lov
"What!" Liza exclaimed."How can they be inside of you?""How can I save them, mom?" Jaeleah held her hands as she asked."You have to tale out the power of the box, then they would be free""So all we have been doing is just a waste of time?" Miss Peyton asked."Is there no other way to go about this?" Maya asked, her voice was as calm as ever."There is only one other way and it's too risky, I can't allow her do it""But I must do it, mom. They also have families waiting for them. I brought this upon them and I should be the one to make amends now""No, Jaeleah. I won't say it. Allow me to remove the power and they would be fine" Alicia said but Jaeleah shook her head in disapproval and let go of her hands."We need the power, that is why we have come this far and we won't just allow you take out the power from her" Miss Peyton retorted and Alicia glanced glared at her."It's either you tell me or I find out myself" Jaeleah threatened Alicia"Can I see Raul first?""Sure! He would b
Amber opened the door and all eyes were on her as she walked in except for Maya's who just glanced at her and kept staring at Yana and Wenda."They are still not up?" Amber asked slowly"You're stating the obvious" Liza snapped"Mom, can I see you for a moment?""What for?" Maya asked as she turned to her"I want to apologize for what happened earlier, I wasn't in my right sense of thinking""Oh! I see. So now? You're in your right sense? That's good to hear" Maya scoffed and stared at those on the ground again.Suddenly, Jaeleah fell on her back on the bed and Maya panicked and she slightly patted her face to wake her but she wasn't responding. Alicia and Raul also rushed to help Jaeleah but she still wasn't waking up. At that moment when they were so worried about Jaeleah, they all heard sneezing and it was from Wenda and Yana - Miss Peyton rushed to hug them."I'm glad you two made it" She said in tears, still hugging them."Jaeleah! Wake up. Please, wake up, Jaeleah" Alicia sobbed
Liza went to the garden with the hope of meeting Aria there but she was not there when she got there. With disappointment written over her face, she slowly sat on the bench and swang her feet as she leaned on both hands. "Were you waiting for me?" Aria asked with a big smile from behind her, startling Liza.Liza looked back and smile softly, "I thought you had gone""I told you I have no place to stay for now so I'm going to be here for a while" she said as she took her seat beside Liza"My bad, I almost forgot about it""So what about your family? Are they awake now?" She pouted her lips and blinked her eyes repeatedly"Yes!" She said with a big smile"They are currently resting""Wow! That is great news. I guess the search for Miss Peyton's daughter would begin soon then" she had a change of expression on but Liza wasn't looking at her at the moment."Sure! It could be as soon as tomorrow. I can't wait to see who her child is , you know she's also my family; the child of my brother
"This is so delicious" Amber said after the first bite as she briefly closed her eyes to savour the taste."I told you you were going to like it""Yeah, I love this. We should come here more often, babe""Sure!" His response was fast and he grinned at her while she was so engrossed in the meal."That would be if you would still be in your right senses after tonight" He thought.After they had finished eating, Adrian paid for the meal and they stepped out of the eatery. They had only taken few steps from the eatery when a black tinted car crossed them and before Adrian could say anything, two hefty looking men stepped out of the car with guns in their hands."Get in the car!" The first one yelled"NOW!" The second one added as they hesitated.Amber and Adrian rushed into the car and the car zoomed off at a very high speed. While they were in the car, one of the men brought out two pieces of cloth, gave one to the other man and they both blind folded Amber and Adrian.*It was late in t
Amber slowly regained consciousness and grunted as she felt a deep pain in her wrists and ankles, she tried to move but she was restricted by the ropes tied to her legs and hands. She tilted her neck to her left and saw Adrian who was also tied up and unconscious, she looked around and realized that they were alone."Adrian! Adrian! Look over here" She said in almost a whisper and Adrian slowly gained consciousness.Adrian's eyes brightened as he saw that Amber was tied up and he tried to get up to help her but realized that he is also tied."Calm down, Adrian. We need to find a way out of here""How did we get here? What do they want from us?""How am I supposed to know about that?" Amber snapped and Adrian bit his lower lip."Maybe you should mind link with Miss Peyton" Amber said after she thought for a while, forgetting that she could do it herself."Okay, let me give it a try" he said in a low tone"A try?" She sneered"I'm sorry but I've not mind linked with anyone since I had m
Maya raced to where Amber was and untied her and hugged her, Amber's eyes glistened with tears and she pushed Maya away and ran out of the place. Liza and Miss Peyton took the two men away while Maya walked up to where Adrian was and untied him."Thank you, ma'am" He mumbled after Maya untied him and he walked out of the place.Maya watched him as he retreated from the room with her brows raised and a lot running through her mind."Where did Amber go to?" Liza approached Maya and asked."I don't know, she just ran out""Something is wrong somewhere, I need to find her" Liza said and sprinted out of the room before Maya could utter any word.*Liza found Amber beside a small lake beside the place of incident, she was seated on the ground and weeping bitterly. Liza paused her steps as she saw the way she was crying and was confused on what had happened in there and approached her in a slow pace. She sat beside her and pulled her in for a hug, Amber's sobbing went louder and she let out
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
