SALLY'S POV
'What were they doing here?' I thought as I stared at them completely shocked.
"Have you seen the nuisance they are constituting?" Alpha Derek asked and I nodded sadly.
I and Alpha Derek stood and watched the drama from afar, one would think we were friends or even couples.
Before I knew what was happening one of the members of the dark pack slapped my pack member and the whole place became soar. Slaps were heard from different angles and screams were also heard.
Alpha Derek and I stood and watched in amazement until the fight became intense, they were now fighting with their claws and tearing each other's body parts mercilessly. I tried to step into the fight and separate them but Alpha Derek held my arm and I immediately came to a halt.
I turned around to look at the spot Alpha Derek held, then I looked at Alpha Derek's face. He sensed that I didn't like the way he held me and took his hands away immediately.
I didn't struggle to get to the fighting floor anymore, I just stood back and watched, even though it hurt so much watching my pack members getting injured by the members of the dark pack. They didn't stand a chance and members of the dark pack were dealing mercilessly with them.
I was watching blows land in different directions and they tore each other's faces mercilessly until all the members of the moonlight pack were lying on the bare floor injured in different parts and their blood poured freely staining the floor of the dark pack compound.
I recognized one of the pack members, he was my brother Sam's friend. I quickly rushed to him and knelt beside him, I lifted his head and placed it on my lap. Most of the members were gasping for breath and struggling to live. Sam's friend also was struggling with his life.
I watched Alpha Derek walking towards them and my heart began to pound, I wanted to talk to Sam's friend quickly before Alpha Derek got there and distracted us.
"What happened? Why did you come?" I asked almost moved to tears.
"Alpha Lucas had sent us", he replied and my tears fell and landed on his face.
"He knows the consequences right? How could he send you all?" I asked and wiped my tears with the back of my palm.
"He had asked us to come to plead with alpha Derek to release you, we asked that we be let in so we could talk to alpha Derek. We wanted to see if he would have mercy on us and give you back to us, we had come in peace", he replied and I couldn't help but sob even more.
"Lock them all up", I heard alpha Derek's thunder voice and turned around to see him standing behind me.
He made a signal with his fingers and two of his guards walked to me, they raised me forcefully and started dragging me away. I cried and struggled for help but none came, there was not even the slightest help from anywhere.
I continued struggling with them, but they didn't stop, they ignored me completely, pushed me forcefully into my room, and locked the door.
My pack members were also dragged and locked up in prison.
~
After that day alpha Derek stopped coming to visit me, he also stopped looking in my direction, I rarely saw him around. Every evening, the guards would bring me outside and guide me to the garden to receive fresh air and return with me safely to the room.
I decided to get friendly with the pretty maid who brought me food daily. In no time the both of us became very close, she'd sit with me after serving me and we'd talk about a whole lot of things.
One evening after serving me she decided to spend quality time with me. She had purposely delayed my dinner and had made sure she had finished every other chore she had to do after serving me before coming to my room.
"Where is your alpha? Derek?" I asked immediately after I finished eating dinner, she had sat there watching me the whole time while I ate, and it reminded me so much of Hayden, tears dropped down my cheeks as Hayden's face appeared on my face, I quickly wiped my face so she wouldn't see my tears.
"Derek is very busy, he is preparing to go for a war in the neighboring pack. He usually took his time to prepare for any war, he wouldn't mess things up you know", she said.
"So alpha Derek gets nervous before goi to a war? I thought he was perfect?" I found myself asking.
"Alpha Derek is never nervous. He just has to keep a reputation that's all, or do you think every success is magic? Of course, every successful man has a secret that made him successful alpha Derek also has a legacy he had inherited and he must keep to it, if he must succeed like his forefathers he needs to do exactly what he is doing. Also to remain in power as the alpha of the dark pack", she replied and I nodded in agreement.
"You are right you know, you are very very right, you are intelligent and I like it. You also remind me so much of my best friend Hayden", I said and she smiled beautifully.
"I heard about what happened, alpha Lucas loves you", she said and I nodded sadly. It's been two weeks already yet I am not able to get over the loneliness and move on from alpha Lucas.
"I love him just as much, it just hurt so much that things got to turn out this way, I am not able to get over him still", I said.
"He hasn't gotten over you either", she said and I smiled.
"You think so too right?" I asked.
"I know so. Only a man who loves you for real will visit the way he does", she said and I became confused.
"Visit the way he does?" I asked trying to get clarified.
"You didn't know? Alpha Lucas visits the pack every other day to plead with Alpha Derek to let you go, and release his pack members. After being walked out of the building by Alpha Derek, even thrown out some other times he still returns the next day. It's been good two weeks yet nothing has happened", she said and I couldn't help but shed tears.
I thought about how hard it would be for alpha Lucas and tears kept flowing down freely from my cheek.
"Did I say something?" Jennifer asked. I haven't mentioned to you all that my new friend's name is Jennifer.
"No not really, you haven't said anything wrong", I replied and she held my right hand. I took her hand away from mine coldly and stood up to my feet.
"Where is alpha, Derek?" I asked staring down at her.
"It's late, he just finished having dinner, so obviously he would be in his room", she replied.
"I am going to confront alpha Derek", I said boldly and Jennifer stared at me unbelievably.
ALPHA DEREK'S POV I sat on my favourite chair in my room turning around on my chair. My thoughts hovered around Sally, I wondered how she was faring and when she would finally get to love me, the same way she loves alpha, Lucas. The moon goddess never makes mistakes and I wondered why she gave me the mate that my friend Alpha Lucas was in love with. Now I have to feel insecure whenever she talked about alpha Lucas, I felt insecure whenever I remembered that alpha Lucas was the one she loved not me. It hurt so much that things had to turn out this way with me and alpha Lucas, we were both so close and he was the only one that was almost allowed all the time to see me as he pleases. Coming to plead with me every other day made me feel guilty, yet I wouldn't let any other man have my mate. Everyone believes I do not have a heart, everyone had the thought, this particular idea that our hearts were taken off at birth. They believed it was a tradition in the family, and every member of
SALLY'S POV I woke up feeling pains all over my body, I didn't wonder what the cause was for I knew perfectly well the reason for all the pain I felt. I had tried to sneak out of the room pretending to be the maid, I made the slightest mistake of speaking back while I was being spoken to and was caught. I tried to hide my face with Jennifer's sapphire, but they took it away from me and thought I was trying to escape. As a powerful werewolf, I had tried to fight back but the soldiers of the dark pack outnumbered me and my powers were no match to theirs. I tried to explain to them that, I wanted to see alpha Derek, I also tried to plead that they let me talk to him, and that I wasn't guilty of trying to escape but they didn't listen to me. I kept struggling with them until they hit a vital spot in my neck and I passed out only to wake up this afternoon on my bed. I was tired of being locked up the whole day like a common criminal, I wasn't liking the idea one bit and I hated myself
ALPHA DEREK'S POV "One shall chase a thousand, two shall chase ten thousand then we shall emerge victorious, the lesser we are the more victorious we would emerge. We would not suffer the case of losing a soldier due to the simple fact that we appeared ionthe battleground with so many soldiers", I concluded and they began to rejoice. "We have never and will never lose a soldier during a war", I announced and they all jumped up excitedly. I always got my soldiers covered and it has never been recorded in the history of the dark pack that a soldier was lost during the war. I gathered my soldiers and we began to match out of the pack, headed straight to our predator pack. The bold pack, they were known for ages for being the very bold pack and had never also lost a war in the pack. They were fierce but never dared to step on our toes, but now that they did we have to prove to everyone that a bold pack is nothing more than an ant that should be crumbled. My horse was all ready and wa
ALPHA DEREK'S POV I watched and admired the little girl of nineteen as she stopped in front of me. She had dragged the horse quietly to this place, what a brave and intelligent kid. "Alpha, my Lord", she said and bowed before me. "I don't know sir if I am allowed to touch you or not, but I need to bring you to safety", she said and paused wide-eyed as if though she had said something wrong. "Go on dear", I said weakly and she smiled. "You are bleeding so badly my lord, I am scared of the outcome if nothing is done quickly, I want to take you back to the pack for safety. I know that it has not been recorded that this happened, I'm sorry if the new soldiers, I mean we girls are the cause of this, I plead that you don't punish us. But let's fight and run away first because he who fights and runs away lives to fight another day", she said and I was completely thrown off my feet at her boldness and intelligence. Other soldiers would plead guilty and ask that they should be killed becau
SALLY'S POV I dropped my phone immediately, beside me and looked in the direction of the door. The knock came, even harder this time and I jumped to my feet and picked up the pistol. "Who is there?" I asked as I slowly moved to the door. "Can I come in?" A fierce male voice sounded like thunder from outside the room. "Come in?" I asked and the door opened widely and two guards badged into the room. "What do you want?" I asked looking from one person to another. "Drop your pistol, we have come only to pass information to you, we didn't come here to kill or hurt you, you are our alpha's Luna", one of them said and I dropped my weapon on the floor of the room, beside the wall. "What do you want?" I asked. "We don't want anything, because the guy can't offer anything either", one of them replied rudely. "Do not mind him", the other one said and gave him a warning glance. "All we need right now is your listening ear, we heard your name is Sally right?" He asked and I nodded. "Goo
ALPHA DEREK'S POV She stared at me for a while then she shook her head, indicating she wasn't angry at me. "Tell me more about yourself", I said and she smiled. "Are you always like this? I mean, do you often smile?" I asked and the smile on her face disappeared immediately. "No, no, no. I didn't say stop, it's cute when you smile, I'm just interested that's why I asked", I said. "You made me smile. You are not as bad as everyone paints you, my lord, I will forever be indebted to you", she replied. "I want to know more about you kid, I don't know, can you do me the honor?" I asked and she nodded. "I am Ama, like I have said earlier, Jude Ama, nineteen years old and the only child of my parents", she said and paused. "So go on, growing up what was your life like? Was it enjoyable? Boring? What were your dreams before I came into the picture and chartered them?" I asked looking straight into her eyes. She exhaled deeply, rubbing her palms together and trying to gather the words to
SALLY'S POV "May I know the reason for your tears? You have only been crying since you walked into this room and sat there, please your silence is killing me", I pleaded. "What part are you interested in? Because I'm crying for a whole lot of reasons", she replied. "I'd like to know everything if you are ready to share, especially the part you said you're not a werewolf", I said and she sighed and wiped her tears. "I am not a werewolf but a witch", she said and I was shocked by my marrows. "A witch? How then did you get into the dark pack? Do they know your identity?" I asked and she shook her head, my eyes widened. "You are the first person to hear about this, please keep this a secret", she pleaded. "Of course, why not? I do not have any reason to tell your secret to anyone", I replied and she smiled. "Thank you", she said and I nodded. "Where you this way with Jennifer?" She asked and I nodded. "Even closer", I replied and a weak smile formed on her face. "My dad is from t
ALPHA DEREK'S POV "What do you mean by I brought in a strange woman who had caused this? Did make any mistake in choosing my Luna?" I asked. "Not at all my son, she is your destined Luna, she is your desired mate whom the moon goddesses have chosen and prepared specially for you, but... I will tell you the but, but first let me tell you a story", she said. "You can tell me any story you want to but ensure to take away my son's title when speaking to me, I am not your son, my mother, I know my parents very well although they don't live here, the only person I recognized as a father later on also passed away", I said and she nodded meaning she would take note of what I had said. "History is about to repeat itself", the seer said and I wondered what history she was talking about that I do not know and had not heard of. The seer spoke slowly and I so much wished I could fast forward her mouth, to ensure she speaks faster and I get the answers I needed as soon as possible. "What histor
AUTHOR'S POV Sally dressed up quickly and hurried to the sitting room to see who was looking for her. She was shocked to see Hayden seated on the couch together with a strange man. She had come from her new home to see her. She rushed to her and hugged her tightly. "Where have you been Hayden? I've been asking Alpha Lucas about you?" I asked her. "I have been here boo. I got married to a pretty human since the crisis affected my last boyfriend. He died, and I moved on. Here is my husband Churchill, and my daughter Suzanne", she introduced. Sally walked to them, shook hands with Churchill, and hugged the pretty kid. "Hold old are you Suzanne?" Sally asked her. "I am three years old", she replied. "Wow! I found my son a pretty wife", Sally exclaimed and they all laughed. Sally and Hayden had a lot of catching up to do. Hayden talked to Sally about moving into the dark pack house, and they spoke to Alpha Derek about it, he agreethemwholeheartedly and a mansion was prepared for
AMELIA'S POVI found myself alone on the couch when I woke up the next morning, I was comfortably wrapped in warm clothes which I did not remember putting around myself. I thought probably the pimp must have been the one to put the clothes around me. I remembered how he had hugged me last night when he was trying to console me and distract me from all of my thoughts last night. I smiled as I wrapped myself more comfortably in the cloth. I was happy and felt consoled by his presence, even though I did not have any idea when he had gone away. My eyes moved to the clock in the sitting room and I immediately sprang up from the couch. I remembered that today was not just a Monday but also a work day and a school day too. And I had overslept. I stood up from the couch immediately and ran to my children's room to start getting them ready for school. I was surprised when I opened the door and found them already dressed for school, the pimp was there and helping them to pack their bags.
SALLY'S POV The D_day finally came, the day that alpha Derek and I would be joined together including alpha Lucas and Sarah. We performed the rites and moved to our house for eating and drinking. The whole community was in attendance, and Ralia and Stephen who had also gotten married were not left behind. They attended the wedding ceremony and celebrated in our joy with us. I have never been more excited. Things have finally fallen into place, and it was finally time to reveal the secret I have been keeping from alpha Lucas ever since after the war. I waited for the whole wedding to come to an end, and waited for everything to settle, before bringing the issue up. Diamond had been enrolled in the Wizard and dark beings school of Oaks. He was away in school so I decided to use the opportunity to talk to alpha Derek about the little girl Ama who had not grown into an adorable young lady. "I want to talk to you about something Derek", I said to him, drawing what no one knew about, o
ALPHA DEREK'S POV I have made up my mind that I was going back to the pack house, and I wasn't changing it no matter what. Moving to another town wasn't a blessing after all, and it was a good idea as I had thought. When I saw Sally, I thought it was a way fate decided to bring us back together but I was wrong. Nothing good came out of staying in the new environment. My son would have died because of me, but thank goodness I was able to heal him before the issue escalated. I packed my belongings, my private ride was already waiting for me, and I needed to get back to the dark pack before it was late. I had already arranged for my private jet to come to pick me up, and I was ready to fly back and forget I ever visited this place talk more of seeing Sally or any other person. I walked into the open field where my private jet was waiting for me. The security that drove me there helped me pack my stuff inside. I took one last look at the whole of the place before I entered inside. I
SALLY'S POV I sat beside my son at the hospital and tears kept rolling down my cheeks. I knew he wouldn't heal on his own because his powers hadn't manifested yet, and he was still just a baby. I was angry at myself for placing my son through all the trauma I am putting him through. Ralia was crying too while Stephen tried to console me. Her hands were shaking. She had seen Diamond pick up the knife and slice his wrist, and she was unable to stop him, the trauma was making her whole body tremble in fear, as we watched our son lying lifeless with the drip in his hand. "I caused all of this, it was all my fault", I cried. Ralia crawled towards me, she had been lying on the floor and rolling herself, crying her eyes out the whole time. "It, was all my fault Sally, I am so sorry", she pleaded. "No it's not your fault", I replied. Stephen sat beside me and sighed. "Ralia and I discovered we loved each other after I moved into the house. She told me about your situation, that you
SALLY'S POV it's been two weeks since the incident with alpha Derek, and the one with Ralia and Stephen. I locked myself up in my room crying all day, and it wasn't getting any less messy. I was mad at Ralia, I blamed her for everything, including the fact that I had sex with my ex. Images of the hot sex and the way I rode him flooded my head, and I felt very disgusted thinking about it alone. Every single day I cried myself into a stupor. Diamond was oblivious to what was happening, he had no idea I was still in my room, and I trusted Ralia and Stephen to take good care of him, it wasn't news that they loved him so much like he was their son so I left him with them. I heard a noise and different voices from outside, I peeped through my window and saw uniformed men standing outside the house. I wondered what they wanted, and I tried to activate my werewolf ears to hear what was going on. I heard them talking about taking Diamond away, and I sighted Diamond holding firmly onto al
ALPHA DEREK'S POV. "One more shot please", I ordered more bear and they didn't stop serving me. If anyone told me I would ever go back to drinking, I would never believe it. And the thing about drinking over here, there would be no one to stop me. I left the house very early and decided that drinking myself into a stupor was the only solution. I was about to open another bottle when I saw Sally staggering out of the bar. I stood up and rushed to her, I held her from behind and she tried to push me away. "It's me, it's me Derek", I said to her. Although I was drunk, I didn't lose my senses entirely, I still knew where I was, and who was who. "I_ I thought you said you were not Derek?" Sally asked me. "I am sorry, I didn't want us to begin on that foot", I apologized. "No, you said you liked Ralia, everyone does so go be with her", she replied. "Okay let's get you home. You are drunk Sally", I said. "Hahaha, see who is talking", she mocked. "Sally", I called. I carried he
SALLY'S POV To let peace reign, alpha Derek now known as Desmond agreed to marry Ralia, she also pretended to be excited about the news, Diamond asked them to hug each other, and they did, and it all ended there. Alpha Derek spent almost the whole day with us, we had so much fun and I almost forgot our differences. The five years apart from him had changed him so much, and he was now the opposite of his formal self. He knew so much about life and humility, he also knew so much about the human world, how it worked, and about empathy. I was falling in love with alpha Derek even more than ever, but I wasn't ready to reunite with him no matter what. He had hurt me so badly, and the injuries would never heal no matter how hard I tried to make it work. Diamond fell asleep in Alpha Derek's hands, and Ralia and Stephen were still very busy clearing up the kitchen, while I was having a chat with Alpha Derek. The both of us walked together to Diamond's room, and even though Alpha Derek sai
AUTHOR'S POV Alpha Derek saw Diamond walking out of the room with Stephen and Ralia and quickly put on a plain face. "Oh, he already met my real mommy", Diamond said excitedly jumping toward, Sally. The words made Alpha Derek's heart skip a bit. And then it began pounding hard, even more than it did when he had hugged his son. Diamond held his mother's hand and walked towards alpha Derek, while Ralia walked behind still in a state of shock. She counted her steps gently, and she didn't expect that alpha Derek was the guest to appear in their house today. The one Diamond was so crazy about. Blood is thicker than water, she thought. "Meet my real mommy Sally", Diamond said stretching her hands towards his. He stared at her hand for a while, when he noticed the look on Diamond's face, he quickly took Sally's hand. "I am_" "_Desmond", Diamond took the word from his mouth. "Desmond, and Diamond", he added with a smile. Ralia stepped forward and shook alpha Derek as well. "I
