CHAPTER 19: UNKNOWN ENEMY" Stop looking at me like that." Erica said while Umbrie raised a brow. Surprisingly, they both found themselves outside, chatting with each other." I am not. Not like there's something valuable in you I'm staring at." Umbrie replied, turning her face to the other side, knowing Erica's gaze would be on her." I hate you." Erica said with pouted lips." I hate you more." Umbrie winked, the look in her eyes were faraway as she gazed forward looking at nothing in particular.Erica noticed and glanced at her, blinking her eyes like a doll." Is there something you're not telling anyone?" Erica asked already looking down and playing with her fingers which she placed on her bare skin. She had a short bumper on." Oh, it's nothing. I'm okay. Just wondering where Logan is." Umbrie stated obviously lying." Logan just bade us goodbye earlier." Erica reminded, narrowing her eyes playfully at Umbrie.Umbrie bit her the corner of her lips slightly knowing she had been c
CHAPTER 20: PAINFUL SMILE Dane sat stiffly on the cold floor as he drew his shivering mother closer to him, he pulled her gently to his chest for her to absorb the heat from his body, but he knew he was been unreasonable. The loud clatters of his teeth were heard in the very small space that looked like a mouse hole, which they were thrown inside." I'm sorry mama. I really am, if you hadn't given a worthless and useless child like me to life to breath, you wouldn't have found yourself in a horrible situation like this." He sobbed as he murmured, his lips trembling tremendously.He heard his mother heave gently as she raised her hand slowly patting his back as she started humming a familiar tune which drew more tears out of his eyes." Don't make me feel more heartbroken my child." She said, a sad smile played on her pale, chapped lips." If I was capable enough, we wouldn't have fallen into this destruction called Wymond." She said and Dane subconsciously looked around as he heard
CHAPTER 21: RIDICULOUS MOON Logan grinned cheekily as he heard the coquettish voice Leilani used before ending the call.With his left hand on the handle of his car's door, he used the right hand to search for his ringing phone in his pant pockets. " Mum?" He murmured as he swiped the green icon on the phone's screen." What?" His voice turned rough, probably from what he heard or what he was hearing." Cancel it." He said quite rudely before hanging up the call.***" No, I don't want it." Kaden grumpily woke up from his slumber, his ears perked up and he looked around but he couldn't find anything or see anything unusual.He could swear he heard a very tiny voice just now, a tiny voice that sounded like that of a child, a little child.He sighed as he looked around again, confirming he was alone. His gorgeous but dull hazel orbs subconsciously turned it's gaze at the very tiny window he hadn't noticed was in the room.A strange glint shone in his eyes as it caught the round, ful
CHAPTER 22: MISHAPS " You didn't see anyone?" Xander asked, his phone placed on his ear, on a call. The car was moving quite speedily despite the curvy parts they were passing." No, My lord." Tyron replied. Xander sighed hearing the sad tone beneath the head guard's voice." Alright." Xander said simply, hanging up the call, tousling his neatly gelled hair angrily." Where the fuck are you for crying out loud?" He muttered gritting his teeth, the guard beside him heard what he murmured and confusion crept on his face as he stole anxious glances at Xander." Told ya! Why the damn hell are you still insisting on finding Kaden? You are barely even living without him." Xander growled angrily as he heard Cole's teasing voice before shutting him off from his head." He would soon meet his own waterloo soon." He murmured, referring to the Beta.He gazed outside the window of the moving car, watching as the bushes, trees and other things in the road disappeared swiftly as the car moved.He
CHAPTER 23: SCORNFUL CHUCKLE. " Hello?" The Gamma's voice came out rough with a frown plastered on his handsome face.He looked at the screen of the phone when he couldn't hear anything from the other side. " Hello?" He spoke again, his breath coming out uneven, like he was bottling in some kind of anger." Did this idiot think I have the time for his silly plays?" He thought, tapping his feet repeatedly on the floor." Cole?" He shouted but he could only hear sniffles, sniffles of a lady to be precise." Hi." He scoffed hearing the tiny voice that finally talked." Get your ugly voice out of the phone and give it to that damn manwhore." He hollered and the lady gasped, startled at Xander's harsh tone." Man.....whore?" Xander felt like teleporting to wherever she was calling from and snap her neck as he heard what she asked again." Are you dumb? Give the damn phone to the owner." He shouted." Yeah, yeah." Xander rolled his eyes hearing shuffling sounds." Bastard." Xander hissed
CHAPTER 24: COURTROOM "Can I know who Crystal's dad is?" Erica finally asked and Leilani dropped the spatula in her hand slowly. She stood for a while sighing before she turned to face Erica who had an inquisitive and anxious look on.Leilani's phone started ringing as soon she was about to say something.She nodded at Erica, cleaning her hands on the apron as she answered the call." Hello." She said but instead of a reply, a chuckle, a good laugh sounded from the other side. A scornful chuckle! Erica looked at her, the inquisitive look on her small, round face increased as she stared at Leilani and the phone in her hands." Can you help me with that?" Leilani gestured at the cabbage lying on the cabinet." Sure." Erica nodded, walking towards the cabinet, holding the knife clumsily." You know what? Just call Umbrie. You might mistakenly get yourself stabbed with the way you're holding the knife." Leilani suggested, seeing the way she held the knife." I won't. I'll do it myself
CHAPTER 25: POISON? Nevertheless, Leilani collected the pen from his stretched hand and signed before collecting the box from him." Thanks." She said and the deliveryman turned and left without saying a word.Immediately, she jammed the door shut as she hurried into the kitchen, tearing the wrapped box open hastily.Her eyes widened as she saw....." Ring! Ring!" The doorbell chimed again." Coming." She heard Erica's blaring loud voice and her pounding footsteps as she ran to open the door.Without taking another look at what was inside the box, she carefully opened a cabinet and hid it at the very end of the cabinet before using a jar to cover it.Sighing, she murmured. " Act normal. Act normal!" Leilani continued murmuring to herself, she let out a tiny scream seeing a pair of shiny blue eyes gazing at her. She hissed, calming her beating heart. " Geez! Crystal." She called. " What were you doing there? I was already wondering when we bought a cat." Leilani said walking outside
CHAPTER 26: KILL HER. " Come in." Xander said lowly already perceiving Tyron scent from the outside." My Lord, you have a mail." Tyron said as he entered but the Gamma just waved his hand and the head guard nodded, placing the letter carefully on the large desk." And..." Tyron said, treading carefully. " He asked to see you." Tyron said. " The Alpha of Bluemoon Pack." He added.Xander's head shot up as he glared at Tyron." What rubbish are you sprouting out? Get out of here, don't make me more madder than I am now." Xander hollered, stamping his palm on the table loudly.Surely, the conceited Alpha outside the huge door would have surely had the Gamma's yell.Tyron bowed as he flew out of the room, hearing struggles. As he came outside, he saw a guard who had on a terror filled face as he tried to stop Wymond from entering the office of the Gamma." You wouldn't live to regret what I'd do to you if you don't leave my presence right now." Wymond threatened making the guard more he
It's been years and so many things had happened, the good and the bad things. " I swear we didn't mean to at all. Things just happened all of a sudden but.....I don't regret any of it. I never did." That was Umbrie's words when Leilani got winds of things. The baffled Luna had only kept quiet as she stared at her sobbing friend. She looked up and stared at the Beta who nodded at her with a stubborn smile and she sighed. They had expected Lord Williams and the others to flip about Xander's sudden relationship with a human who wasn't even his mate but the man had gave a warm response and had welcomed his son and his new partner with a befitting smile on his face and it was finalized. Since Xander's father didn't have a problem with them then no one could either. Though, they had thought things would end there but no. Umbrie had gotten pregnant to not only Xander's surprise and happiness but to the others. Their wedding took place immediately and Umbrie became the Beta's arranged mate
" Dad, have you seen Erica since we came back?" Leilani asked, slightly worried as the maids and guards she had asked to find Erica were just coming to tell her she wasn't in the tower." No. She should be in her suite, she said she needed to take a nap." Pedro replied and Leilani gave a more deeper sigh. Erica isn't in her suite at all.She, Kaden, Erica and her father were just coming back from the prayers of Daria and her mother, Luna Ami. They had accompanied Kaden to his parents prayers too and Leilani did caught the slight guilt that appeared on her father's face but she didn't say a word and she wasn't going to.He was going to be fine, he wasn't an unfeeling pillar not to feel guilty on hearing about Kaden parents so he'd be fine. " She has a maid, doesn't she? Have you asked the maid?" Umbrie asked, she was holding Lucian and like the little man knew her since a long time ago, he wasn't getting all cranky." Aliya, right? Yes. Beryl, is Aliya around or is she also nowhere
Dane smiled as he stepped into the royal chambers where different suites of royal personalities like the Alpha, the Luna, the royal pups, Lord Duncan, the Beta and the others. Surely, he wasn't allowed to enter even though he had told the guards he just wanted to explore the area but Lord Duncan had given them the permission to allow him.He couldn't even believe it. From being an ordinary useless being in the evil hands of Wymond to being someone he was now. If he hadn't taken that courage to escape from Wymond's dungeon that day, he wouldn't have being what he was. For saving the Luna and most people lives by using his brother, Silas and by snitching on Pedro, Pedro had instead forgiven him and given him a noble title in the Ice stone pack. He was from the Blue moon pack but since no one wanted to rule on the evil seat of Wymond where he'd slain many innocent people, the Bluemoon pack had been converted into a very large market during the renovation that was still going on.He
Slowly and awkwardly, Umbrie looked away but just as she did, she locked gaze with Xander whose eyes glinted up immediately as he saw her. He looked kind of surprised too but Umbrie only bit her lips, whether he was surprised or not, it wasn't going to make any difference.The lady with him looked familiar that Umbrie's gaze lingered on her for a few minutes but suddenly she frowned. She seemed to have remembered who the lady was.That lady was the one who heartlessly pushed her off Xander that day and now she was hugging his arm? There wasn't much words to be told, she already knew who the lady might be to Xander.She stared at him again and this time, they stared at each other for a long time that seemed as if they were reading their souls but Xander broke the gaze as he raised his hand and waved but Umbrie only looked away while the Beta sighed at her behavior and unknown to him, Chantel had finished looking around and had saw the little interaction between him and Umbrie who alr
" I missed you too, my pretty girl." Umbrie replied, pecking Crystal's face all around while the girl let out short giggles like she was being tickled." Where's Uncle Logan, Aunt? Mum said he'd be coming with you." Crystal asked and Umbrie shook her head when she turned around and didn't see Logan." He was here not long ago, maybe he wandered off."" Okay." She paused but then, her face lit up. " Aunt, have you seen my brother? His name's Lucian and he's the most gorgeous baby brother ever. He looks exactly like my daddy." Crystal giggled excitedly. The pride and happiness were all over her face as she talked about her brother." Now you're increasing my urge and excitement to see him. Your mummy didn't get a replica this time." Umbrie laughed and the blonde lady only glared at her." Now Crystal, where's Eugenia? I remember telling you to show her around but you returned without her. Where's she?" Leilani turned to her daughter who let out a stressed sigh." That's it, Mum. I don
It was past the new year already and there was a small gathering but the Luna wasn't among them as she had given her pack a short visit just few days of prince Lucian's ceremony. According to Pedro, she needed to. It had been a long time the people had seen her and she needed to go see them, postponing the visit might mean she was never going to visit her pack again because the children might have grown by then and it'd be hard to leave them all one.The Luna had taken her daughter along too leaving only the frustrated but silent Alpha alone, she ought to be back before her birthday celebration which would be celebrated in the tower so Leilani didn't take long in the Ice stone pack.As for Chantel, Xander planned to speak a few words to her father during the Luna's birthday celebration, he wasn't invited but he'd surely tag along with the way he loved parties. He didn't come to the cross over celebration though and they seemed to know why, it wasn't a vicious celebration like a bir
Lucian's ceremony was a success and his mother was in her best smiles all through. He had received uncountable gifts from all the guests who had came from all over to see and greet him, the alpha and the Luna were more mesmerized by the Beta's gift.Xander had made a clean frame from that picture he had snapped in the hospital. He had made a photo of it but had given a sculptor to draw and frame it and had given them as a gift, Lucian especially. Leilani couldn't stop staring at it, it showed Lucian on his father's chest as he slept with Crystal crouching behind her father as she stared at her brother and with Leilani by the side, staring at them with a smile.The love in the drawing was everything and Xander had been applauded for that gift. The Alpha and the Luna had hung the picture in their chambers, it was a special gift and anyone would immediately see it when he or she enters the royal chambers.As a royal prince that he was, he was given many royal gifts but all that mostly
Lucian had a pair of gorgeous, hazel orbs that seemed to lighten up the room. He had completely taken his father's features, he had much hair despite been a new born and he also took his father's kind of hair. Curly black raven hair, his beautiful pair of hazel orbs, the lovely dimples when he opens his mouth to yawn, his cute nose and his small tiny lips, the Luna and the Alpha made a complete gorgeous baby." You owe me, Ped!" Lord Duncan yelled victoriously as he laughed while the Ice stone Alpha only grunted as he gently took his grandson.Everyone took time admiring the new born prince before the doctors had came and told them to give the Luna a little time to rest so everyone had left for the main time leaving only the Alpha and his little family.Leilani smiled as she carefully carried her baby from his sister's little laps where he laid without making any noise except staring all around and punching the air with his tiny fists. Crystal hadn't wanted him out of her sight at al
It hadn't been a long time since the prince and future Alpha of the Silvermoon pack was born but the joyful news had gone round like wildfire. The security had tripled because of the safety of the newborn as various people were coming into the pack and tower to pay their obeisance to the newborn and most of them were the people from the Ice stone pack and the people from the several borders of the Silvermoon pack.Alpha Pedro and Lord Duncan were all smiles at the joyful news and most especially was Alpha Kaden. Despite the many complications Leilani had faced at the earliest semester of her pregnancy, she had successfully delivered of their baby. " Thanks the goddess!" Pedro heaved. " My girl is the best, I didn't do any mistake taking her as my best child. I've always secretly wished for a male son which I didn't get but now, I was blessed with a grandchild instead." " It's obvious you do." Lord Duncan laughed. His mate, Lady Sally had also delivered a few months back and their
