Yana went closer to Maya, patted her back, "You don't have to cry, I already made plans for this. She would be up soon""Up? What do you mean by that?""I know those sending those boxes are trying to make things complicated for us and I know they are going to kill Liza as soon as they find out we have her so I gave her a bullet proof to wear" She said and showed the bullet proof to her.Maya hugged her, "Thank you so much"Yana untied Liza and took her to the car along with Maya. Maya sat at the back with Liza while Yana drove, to her house. Yana's keys jingled as she inserted it in the lock while Liza leaned on Maya and they walked into the house. Maya laid Liza on the couch and went to Yana in the kitchen."What are we going to do about her?""It depends if she's ready to cooperate with us or not. I have to rush to the market, I'll be back before she wakes up" She said and went out of the house.Yana got in the car, revved it into motion and drove to the market. She parked her car a
Amber sat beside the window, expecting Iris. She began to imagine how perfect she and Ignacio were going to look but her fantasy was ruined by a knock."Come in"Iris walked in and sat at the edge of the bed, Amber moved closer as well."So what is it you want to tell me about?""Ignacio is not someone you can get that easily" she bluffed"I know and that's why you're here to help so just say it already""Okay. He is an orphan and his guardian is always maltreating him, that's why he seems so withdrawn""Any way to get him out of his shell?" Curiosity was so obvious in her tone."Love! If you show him that you really care about him and make him feel safe around you, you're sure going to win his heart""And how did you know all of these?""Maybe I should just take my leave" she said and turned to leave"No, I don't mean it that way. Do you know how he prefers being loved?""Do you know why he's angry with you after the fight?""I don't""You made him feel less of a man when you did tha
Amber knocked softly on Iris door, though she was burning with anger and Irena opened the door, Amber pushed her aside and entered the room. Iris seeing her in such fury, stood up and approached her."What's wrong?" She moved closer, not more than an inch from each other"You made a fool out of me. He wasn't even ready to listen to me" she yelled "You tried once and you're giving up? I don't think you love him, maybe you should find someone else" she turned away and took slow steps toward her bed"That's not what I mean. I love Ignacio but he's not giving me a chance" she sprinted to her and grasped her arm"Proof to him how much you love him and he's going to give you a chance" she said, releasing her grip on her arm"I hope so" She mumbled and left the room.She went back to her room, grabbing the knob to open it, her eyes fell on Miss Peyton's room and she suddenly missed her so she went to her room. She knocked softly on the door but there was no response, she opened it slightly a
Amber saw herself in a small garden, a dim street light hanging above her head. A man covered with mask approached her - it was the same that has been coming to her."When will I get to see your face, my masked Alpha?""Tomorrow?" He scoffed but Amber didn't find it funny.He took some steps away from her, looking up at the light, "You'll see my face when you are ready""Of course I'm ready now" she yelled at him"Then do the needful" he poked her head"Needful? What's the needful?" She asked but before the masked Alpha could give her a response, she heard a reverberating sound and looked back............Grhh! Grhh!!The sound of the bell echoed in the whole school. People trooped out of their various halls to see what the emergency was about. The students assembled in the middle of the school, waiting for their instructors. Miss Peyton and five other instructors mounted the platform. Clearing her throat, pin drop silence fell on the students."Good morning, everyone. This has never h
Amber helped Ignacio back to his room, tucked him in bed and was about leaving but he grabbed her wrist."Don't go! Stay with me, Amber"It was the first time he called her name and also the first time he was willingly requesting for an audience with her but she couldn't stay amidst the troubles in the school."I'll be back soon, before you know it" She said, wriggled her hand out of his grip and went out of the room. She headed straight to Miss Peyton's office. She knocked softly on the door and Miss Peyton who was currently disturbed by the incidence didn't bother picking the scent."Come in" Her cracked voice bellowed and Amber walked in.Miss Peyton's face went red immediately she saw Amber, "What are you doing here?" She bellowed and threw her head backwards on the chair."I came because of the Golden ball" Miss Peyton's eyes glistened and she got off the chair, approached the still - standing Amber."It's none of your business, leave my office now" she said to her face, pointin
Maya and Yana looked at the lady, Maya moved closer and bent over."Who is commanding him?" Maya asked in a soft tone, caressing her hand."I don't know but he also receives a call from The Boss""The Boss again?" Yana huffed"Do you know if it's a male or female?""I wouldn't know, I'm only subjected to orders and know what he wants me to know." "And who are you to him?" Yana asked"His maid and sex slave" her eyes now glistened with tears"This is unbelievable!""So where is he at the moment?" Yana asked, pacing around"On the run! About an hour before your arrival, he got a call from The Boss, I don't know what they talked about but he told me to pack. We hid and waited till you came and he gave me the gun to kill her but when I missed it, he pushed me out of the hiding place and fled""Such a coward!" Maya clicked her tongue."She should rest now. It's obvious the man has been maltreating her for a while" Yana suggested."He goes by the name Aiden""The room is the first on the l
Immediately Liza saw Yana entered the room, she got out of the bed and approached the door but Yana grabbed her arm."You better pick your cards carefully"Liza went to the living room and sat beside Maya, "Do you also believe I sold us out?""Of course not. I know you'd never do that" she smiled at her."What if I actually did?" She asked and Maya stared into her eyes"Just saying!""Go get ready, we'll be visiting your kid sister today""Really? Thanks for keeping your promise. I'll be down in a jiffy" Liza sprinted to the room, not minding the way Yana was glaring at her, she took a long and nice bath. She stood in front of the mirror outside the shower, looking at herself and she saw a perfume. She peeped at Yana, seeing that she was focused on her phone, she sprayed the perfume over her body and sprinted out to the living room."I'm done" she said, slightly bouncing on her toes."You smell of Yana's perfume, she's going to kill you if she finds out""That's why we need to leave
The next day at dawn, before sun rise, Amber was brought out of the guardroom and dragged to the middle of the school. She was forced to get stripped, her skin exposed to the cold angry weatherand tied to two poles that had been dug the day before."She would be given water by 9am, 12pm, 5pm and 9pm only. And it must not be more than a glass of water." Miss Peyton commanded, satisfied with the way she was hung."Does that suit your conscience? What if the truth comes out?" Amber stood straight and looked at her in the face, though it was hurting her hands and back so badly."What truth?" Miss Peyton snapped."That I didn't steal the Golden Ball and that I was set up. What would you do to your conscience? You wouldn't even let me call my mom" she said the last sentence in a rather low and sad tone"You should have thought about that before stealing and I strongly believe it was you who stole the Ball. You're slowly becoming like your mother." "Shut the trap, Peyton!" She yelled with t
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
