It had already been two days since he went to see Maame Efua. Venkat had refused to tell Ae-Chae anything because she was a blabbermouth and the teenager had stomped off to Maame Efua's house.He was signing some peace treaties when Apikai spoke. "Amara is getting better." "That's good," Venkat replied offhandedly. "She's asking of you.""I'll go see her later then," he still wasn't paying full attention. "No need, she's being discharged so she said she'll come to you herself."Just like Apikai had said, Amara came to Venkat later in the day. He was in the pack gym when he sensed her come in. He turned around to look at her and his heart fell. She had lost weight and her eyes had shrunk. "Venkat," her voice was small. The Alpha tensed, she hadn't called him by his full name in a long time. She walked towards him and hugged him, he instantly hugged her back as she held him tightly."How do you feel?" he asked her in a gentle voice. "I'm not fine Venny, i missed you.""It's alright,
Eun-Jae burst into laughter as soon as he heard the story."So she didn't hear the confession?" Apikai asked. "That's what i said," Venkat scowled."You need to try again," Leke said and Venkat rolled his eyes. "I'll tell the gamma when we're back from the meeting," he replied.His friends all stared at him in silence then looked at one another. "Say something," he knew his decision to tell the gamma was responsible for the silence but he didn't like it, it irked him. Leke, especially has been wanting him to come out with the truth and now that he told them he had made his mind to do just that, they all suddenly went quiet."You really want to tell the gamma?" "Yes, It's high time i became serious about it.""Maybe he won't regret it after all," Eun-Jae nodded in acknowledgement. "He still will," Leke spoke up."You're such a pessimist," Apikai narrowed his eyes. "I'm not. He lied to her, he's going to regret that when he tells her and she gets hurt. Mara isn't going to let it go the
"Omar stop," she bemoaned. "No, i need to go deeper," he grunted as he thrust it in. "Omar, it won't fit," the omega cried out. "It will," he didn't stop his movements. "No, It's going to bust!" And then, the kitchen down drawer jerked open, spilling out its contents. Bags of chips, packets of cookies and a big bag of flour went flying in the air.The spilled flour was all over them as they were literally covered in flour from head to toe. "What were you thinking adding the flour?" Ro coughed."I thought it would fit," he tried to defend himself. "Oh it did, all over our bodies!" she snapped. He flinched and looked at her through his flour covered eyelashes. "Can you be less violent?" he asked sweetly. The omega gasped and picked up a fry pan making him move back. "What are you going to do with that?" although he knew, he still asked. "Become violent," she raised the fry pan in the air. He ran off into the bathroom, leaving particles of flour behind. "Omar!" Ro dropped the fry
It was mid day, Mara was making an account of the number of baskets of food to be delivered to the orphanage when an epsilon delivered the message. "Luna, a case of theft has been reported.”"Why are you reporting this to me? handle it,” she said, not bothering to look at him. "Something that belongs the Alpha was stolen.""Yes?" she still didn't look up. Many things belong to the Alpha, in fact, the whole pack belonged to the Alpha so the epsilon was going to have to be more specific. "The royal necklace was stolen." Now she looked up, eyeing the epsilon to check if he had gone mad. "What?" "Yes Luna. It was found on an omega and reported immediately," the epsilon delivered the message quickly. He, himself was astonished about the news and he couldn't wait to get back to his peers so they could talk about it. Amara on the other hand, was more confused than shocked. No one could get their hands on that necklace, it was kept locked away in a drawer beside Venkat's bed which he had
Everything stilled, air and every living thing in it, the leaves and sounds. Then everything was back to normal as the executioner went down with a thud, the axe falling out of his hand onto the hard wood floor. The axe was picked and aimed at his head."Venkat no!" someone screamed."He's just doing his job," the person pleaded as Venkat snarled at the executioner, the axe in his hand submerged in the air. Ro's sobs brought the Alpha out of his killing trance. He dropped the axe and ran to her. "Mate," he said quietly, looking at her. He untied her hastily and carried her in his arms, away from everybody. The crowd stared at him as he walked away, their jaws dropped. Everyone was stupefied, Mara was humiliated. Venkat took her straight to his room as Sheila followed him then placed her on the bed, the miserable omega grabbing onto him feverishly. "Omar," she called out in pain.His heart constricted and he could feel tears threatening to escape. "Who are you?" he growled at the wom
In the early hours of the morning, Alpha Venkat had been snatched into beta Eun-Jae's room. His friends hadn't seen him for a whole day before they decided to kidnap him from his own room. "Has she asked you anything?" the beta was the first to speak after they had fed Venkat. "No, she's been sleeping the whole day, only waking up to eat," from his tone, they could tell his anger had dissipated."How does she look at you?" Leke was next to ask. "She has this unexplainable look," Venkat answered diligently. "How do you think she feels?" Apikai was next. "I don't know," Venkat sighed."Alpha," an omega knocked on the beta's door, the interrogations put on hold as he urged the omega to speak. "The Luna is awake." Venkat jumped up and went to his room. There, Ro was in bed crying with Sheila who was trying to soothe her. "It's okay, Ro. Everything will be fine.""He's the Alpha. I'm so stupid. How could i have been oblivious, all the signs were there. He refused to mark me, he refused
Omega Ro was miserable but Alpha Venkat was more miserable. His birthday was coming up and like usual, another grand ball would be thrown, it was the talk of the pack. See, the alpha's birthday served as a means for finding your mate and eating unlimited food. Also, because it was a grand ball, other packs were invited. Venkat didn't care about his birthday anymore, he didn't care about anything. He just wanted Ro.It had been a week and two days after his woman left but no one had seen the alpha in days. Top epsilon, Leke walked into the alpha's room as his eyes teared up at the foul stench coming from the room. The floor was littered with broken dishes leaving behind remnants of food everywhere. It looked like the floor hadn't be swept in years and cobwebs hung in corners of the room, making it their habitat. Leke could swear he saw a possum under the bed. Dirty clothes were everywhere, bile was on the floor and the bed sheets had blood stains.Amidst all, Venkat was nowhere to be
The night was bubbly. The large hall room was warm and the golden brown high walls were intricately embroidered with flowery shaped patterns. Glossed ceilings looked over marbled hard wood, making the clinking of high quality shoes more prominent. One could look to the side and see some painted artworks covering parts of the panel molded designed walls as scalloped edging sat close to the palladian windows enclosed with coffee brown thick drapery.There was two large circular escaliers that led to the upper level as the handrails of each escalier were adorned with decorative inserts. To one side of the left escalier sat the live band and to the side of the right escalier served rare dishes. As men in tuxedos and women in gowns trooped in, the first thing they noticed were the tiny golden chandeliers glittering graciously in the soft light. Alpha Venkat was on the upper floor at the midpoint where the two staircases met as he overlooked the entire ballroom, his eyes not focusing on t
"So Ellis is pregnant." "Whaaaat?" Luna Ro gaped at her daughter in surprise. "Yup, two months. That was why his induction was pushed back. His dad said he should focus on his mate and their baby for now." "Wooow and I always thought Nikolai would get you pregnant first." "Mom!" "What? Both of you don't know how to stay away from each other and you always stink of each other. Might as well get married now." Ro teased. "Moooooom," the young adult groaned. "So don't blame me if I thought you would be getting pregnant at a young age.""He promised to wait," she said. "Yes, he did until your eighteenth birthday which by the way was yesterday. I'm not going to lie, I think your father deliberately sent him away from the pack on a mission." "He's coming back today! He said he'll be here by evening.""Oooooh, are you trying to twin with Ellis?" Ro couldn't stop herself. "Mom! Okay bye." She got out of her parents' bed and walked away. "Use protection!" The mother yelled after her
The next day, a soft knock woke her up from sleep. After the activity yesterday afternoon, they had gone to train with both of them reeking excessively of each other. Désire hadn't even bothered to hide his jealousy. Ellis, his mat–friend, yeah friend, Ellis, his friend wasn't around and the duo had tortured him the whole evening with cringe lovey-dovey looks. Luckily for Nikolai, the Alpha wasn't around to see the hickey his fourteen-year-old daughter was given but the teenager should have known beta Eun-Jae would tattle. Heidi turned around in bed remembering the answer she gave Nikolai yesterday. "I'll give you an answer on my sixteenth birthday." That hadn't stopped Nikolai from rubbing himself all over her though and he was quite content with her vague reply. Heidi had thought carefully before answering him. If she said yes and on her sixteenth birthday it turns out they're not mates, where would they go from there? The knocks on her door persisted and she got out of bed t
Heidi's cheeks flushed redder and he chuckled, hoisting her up by her bottom. She held him and wrapped her legs around him to stop herself from falling, Désire's shirt on her wrinkling up, exposing smooth thighs and he kissed her nose. "Niko?" "Yes, baby?" "Something is poking me." She said shyly and he smiled. "You're not that innocent Idi, what do you think it is?" Her eyes went wide with realization as he carried her over to her bed, kneeling between her legs. He kissed her luscious messy bun before kissing her cheek. She grabbed his face and kissed him, Nikolai let her do whatever she wanted to his lips as his hand roamed her thigh. When he got close to her womanhood, she tried to close her legs but of course, his body in between hers stopped her. They broke the kiss and he raised his body to take off his sweatshirt exposing a godly carved torso that was tanned from all the vigorous training in the sun every day. Nikolai was a little beefy, his arms were a bit veiny, a sol
Being the youngest of the royal firstborns, she was greatly pampered especially by the two boys. Nikolai was older than her by a whopping seven years while she and Désire were six years apart. These age gaps played a major role in them assuming the role of strict brother and soft brother.Nammin was a beautiful girl. Her flawless pale skin stretched over her slim figure and small face. She possessed dark pink full lips, short black hair, and large eyes that got her the nickname frog eyes. She didn't like it but she didn't think it was a good idea to tell the boys as she didn't want them fighting some nine, ten-year-olds. It was a cool afternoon a few days after Heidi was discharged. The air lazily carried tiny crystals of debris that formed dust here and there. Leaves were being shed making trees bare and the ground full of dry leaves.On the playground of her middle school, she had found love. This boy that looked to be about fifteen was professing his undying love to her, tellin
Which in turn triggered Roman's and Nikolai's ruts. Everything was a hot mess. Normally, every werewolf shifted at age sixteen, the males getting ruts and the females getting heats. This was to increase the chances of conceiving and multiplying. Heidi was only fourteen yet here she was, sitting in a cold hospital bed after being pumped with suppressants, Nikolai and Roman were also injected with suppressants but unlike Heidi, they were not admitted to the hospital. The doctor in charge of Heidi looked at her parents, Vihan on Ro's hip. "Everything is fine alpha, it's just a pre-heat. She hasn't gotten her heat yet. This is just something like a test run." "She's surely fine? Then what exactly happened to her? Why was her heat triggered?" Venkat asked as he folded her arms together. "Well, only two things can do that." (Three, if we count using a jar of wish)"Yes? Speak, speak up. What are you waiting for?" Venkat asked impatiently when he noticed the doctor stopped talking.
Désire ripped Nikolai away from her. "I'm always saving your ass," he muttered to the boy who was now on the ground. "And you!" Désire growled, eyes glowing fiercely. "I can have you locked up for the illegal use of drugs, I can have you locked up for stuffing somebody without their consent and I can have you locked up for trying to rape someone!" He said hotly, harsh breath fanning the girl's face. "I'm a minor, you can't do anyth–" "Great, you'll look good in juvie clothes now get out of my sight, May!" May refused and just continued to glare at Désire who rolled his eyes. Before he could speak, Ellis slapped May. "So you're the one Heidi told me about." "Told you about?" Désire was confused. "Who the hell ar–" May was yanked by her hair before she could complete her sentence. Ellis slammed her face into a tree trunk immediately breaking her nose. "Aaahh!" May screamed and Désire was flabbergasted but Ellis wasn't done because she smashed her face against the trunk again and
Most of the girls had switched from ball gowns to jeans or skirts. There was a bonfire. Pyrotechnic red-orange flames roared as its embers glowed bright orange, the smoke spiraling upwards into the atmosphere. The smell of the fire was mellow, perhaps it was due to the delicious smell of rich, tangy, sweet, and spicy barbecue going around, or possibly, it was probably the smell of sweet seductive pheromones being released by some teenagers. The emcee from earlier stood on a plastic chair and yelled over a megaphone. "Can you people stop releasing unnecessary pheromones? It's fucking choking! If you like someone, just walk up to them and woo them. Stop being immature!" He stepped down from the chair and then stepped back on it before yelling, "If you wanna fuck so badly, find someone and enter the woods! Don't ruin the party." Heidi giggled as she sat in between Nikolai's legs, Ellis doing the same with Désire beside them. They were sitting against a large tree that was connect
She kept it to herself.Roman also never brought it up again. Although she didn't reject him, she told him that they should take it slow and will confirm if they were mates when she shifts. The boy agreed, knowing quite well why she wasn't willing to accept it but he would be patient. It's just two more years. This new change had the whole pack in murmurs and it wasn't long before the gossip of the omega boy who became a middle-rank member reached the Alpha.Of course, it was astonishing and everyone believed it was the generosity of the moon goddess but only one person knew it wasn't.That person was Heidi. She had taken matters into her own hands by locking herself in her room and getting the jar of wish her father gifted her years ago. She had made a wish and it was granted, which was what prompted the spontaneous shift of Roman. Normally, the boy wouldn't reach the age of sixteen until about three months later but Heidi's wish had accelerated the process.While Heidi made one wis
Désire stuttered.If someone had told him that future him would be doing this, he would call bullshit on it yet here he was, embarrassing himself (his words) in front of this pretty girl while his faithful best friend, Nikolai laughed in the background. A year and some days after Nikolai's first shift, Désire's birthday, first shift, and rut were near. Too near because his birthday was in a few hours. Nikolai's birthday was October 8th, Désire's birthday was October 27th, Heidi's birthday was September 3rd and Roman's birthday was December 18th. It was late October, on the 26th a day before Désire's birthday and the teenage boy just couldn't wait for it. So when Heidi turned fourteen on September 3rd, Nikolai clocked seventeen on October 8th and now, Désire would be clocking sixteen in less than a few hours. It was eight pm and the boys had just finished one of their vigorous training. They were about to go back to the top epsilon's house where Nikolai and Heidi would be spending t
