Sonia's P.O.VLaura's departure to the Stone pack excited me a lot. Although the bitch didn't allow me go with them, atleast I have free rein over everybody now. No one would question my actions successfully, especially because Uncle Magnus is the acting Alpha.I sent a short text to Alex to confirm he was home, and to leave the door open to make it easier for me to get in, and he replied with a thumbs up.I slipped away from the group of elders and headed into the pack grounds. I walked past the training grounds pausing at intervals to greet familiar faces and respond to greetings."So-nyyy" A tiny voice screamed my name with excitement. I spread my hands with equal excitement as the chubby figure latched on to my body, tightly gripping my long flowy gown."Baby Liaaa", I drawled, pecking her fat cheeks. I used to volunteer at the hospital and that was where I met Lia. Her mother was one of the rogues who were captured during an attack, they found out she was pregnant and the former
Alpha Cage's P.O.V"Good evening Alpha, one of the Black Pearl Pack members are awake. The doctor said I should inform you so you can see and speak to him." One of the guards I stationed in the room with the strangers informed me.I quickly got into my car and drove to the hospital. Stone pack is very civilized and has more modern infrastructures than most packs.I am the Alpha of Stone pack, one of the most peaceful packs in the land since time immemorial. Our reputation span across the cities and towns and nobody tries to go to war with us. Some have tried, but they got defeated even before they could come close to our grounds.We have allies everywhere, and this is majorly because of the Khan family. Their family has an history of a child in each generation being born with extraordinary wisdom. Our pack is like a tourist attraction because of them as people of different packs and languages come from all around the world to seek solutions to their problems and mysteries.All these a
**Laura POV**“You’re six weeks pregnant Luna” the pack’s doctor’s words echoed in my mind over and over again which made me smile as I rubbed my still flat tummy, admiring myself in the mirror.My heart swelled with so much joy, and I was brimming so much excitement, as I thought of the best time to break the news to my husband.“Baby,” I heard him call softly at me, and I jumped slightly in fright because I wasn't expecting him here. He smiled, his eyes flickering with emotions. He dropped off a tray of mouthwatering cookies on the bedside table, before walking towards me. I gulped, his presence always had a special effect on me.As soon as he came over to me, he engulfed me in an embrace and began peppering featherlight kisses down my neck.“How did the meeting with Alpha Xavier go today?” I moaned, closing my eyes as he began kissing my earlobe. I was almost giving in to his insanely sweet kisses, when he pulled away and pushed me to the bed.“It's too early for sex you know?” I
**Laura POV*I held my breath, praying that she would be my saving grace until she finally stepped into full view. Making me gulp.“Sonia!” I screamed hopefully, my hands outstretched towards her feet, I suddenly felt a ray of hope as she had walked in right on time to save me, for she was my best friend. “Please help me talk Alex out of his craziness” I said my voice feeble and brittle “ He's acting strange and I don't know why?”I couldn't move my body, whatever was in that cookie was very potent as it quickly weakened my defenses.I almost sighed out in relief when she turned to look at Alex with an angry look on her face and she said “ Why didn't you gag her? dummy” Sonia ssid spitefully, as I gasped in shock . No, Not her too!.“I didn't because, I wanted to listen to her shout for help, knowing that no one was going to come to her aid” Alex said with a smirk on his face. I clenched my stomach in pains as they both laughed hysterically, they stopped when their gaze met mine.“
**Laura POV**My eyes suddenly sprung open and in shock, I slapped my hands across my entire body expecting to feel the excruciating pain from the multiple stabs, but surprisedly I felt nothing.“What is happening?” I whispered to myself, looking around the empty void i was now engulfed in. Even Alex and Sonia were nowhere to be found.“Is anyone there!?” I screamed, but my voice echoed back to me, which made me realize I was truly alone. ‘How did I get here?’ I muttered to myself. From a distance, I could hear a shuffling sound from a distance moving in my direction.And when I spun round, I saw the most beautiful female I have ever laid eyes on.She had long straight dark hair that pooled down to her back, her skin was as smooth as porcelain. Her emerald eyes glimmered in the dark and was a stark contrast to her plump red lips.One thing was quite strange about her though. She was sitting on the moon.“Hi, where am I?” I called softly, looking up at her radiant face. As soon as she c
*Laura POV*“Hey Alpha” I heard someone call me from the crowd. I turned around only to see that it was the Beta’s son.“Hi Maxwell” I smiled. In the past, I was rude to him because of my blinded love for Alex but this time around, I paid more attention.“Wow you know my name?” he uttered in shock, biting his lower lips.“Who doesn't know Beta's son?” I blurted out. “Awww, I didn't know I was popular.” he said, with a shy look creased on his face.“I have to go now,” I said to him. “ Why so fast Laura, where are you going?” he said, reaching out to grab my hand. I halted in my tracks as he walked closer. “ I've got lots of activities to tend to. Remember I'm the pack's new Alpha.” I beamed a smile towards him.“Okay, I was worried about you, with all that has happened, you might need a friend by your side through these trying times.” His words made my heart race with excitement but I wasn't going to let my emotions get in the way of my revenge, and almost immediately, my look change
**Laura POV**“I don't want a mate, I want to rule my park, myself.”my voice thundered in the room as Sonia gasped rapidly.“I concur with them you know, you've already seen your mate, Alex my cousin is your mate.its unclear to me why you don't like him. Regardless of the mating bond between you two being conspicuous. He loves you and with him by your side, you'll need all the assistance you can get.” Sonia said, cupping my tender cheeks into her hands.“I don’t feel anything for him sonia. I don't feel the mate bond” I lied.“Your change is so sudden and alarming Laura” she scoffed. “ I thought you've always wanted this, why pulling out at the last minute?” she said through gritted teeth.“I can do this myself Sonia, except you no longer have fate in your best friend” I said, tapping her shoulder.“But Laura..” I cut her off abruptly.“But what sonia… You’re no different from the elders, I thought you would help me in convincing them to see reasons with me. But it's obvious whose si
**Laura's POV**I got to the pack house in not time and immediately started walking towards my room when I stumbled upon Sonia. When I sighted her from afar, she was mumbling incoherent words but that was less of my problem."Hey, Laura where have you been?" She asked the moment our eyes came in contact with each other. Sonia made to hug me but I refuted by swaying my body away from her embrace. "What are you doing here by this time?" I asked folding my hands akimbo, Sonia's eyes almost bopped out of their sockets at my question. I'm sure it came fast and she wasn't expecting it."Is that supposed to be a question directly to me?" She eyed me up and down checking if something was wrong. I'm sure I sound like someone who an exorcism was performed on."Does it sound like an answer?" I made to open the door but Sonia stopped me. I'm currently at my self restraint and would lash out on her. "I hope you realize we are best friends?" "Oh, yeah I do know. Can I go in now?" I asked in my Al

Laura's P.O.VIt's been total 24 hours of bliss, as I haven't come across Xavier, and have heard no news of Alex since he sent those wretched flowers of his yesterday morning.So yeah, blissful morning and I hope I didn't just jinx it. I thought back to all that has been happening since my parents died and the actions of the elders yesterday at the meeting. I can't believe this was what my parents had to go through as Alpha and Luna dealing with these corrupt elders in council.I miss my parents so much. I sat at the edge of the bed, my head in my palms, recalling those sweet memories I had with them.A knock on the door took me out of my reverie, I rubbed my face, moisture coating my fingers, and I wiped it off, I didn't even realize I was crying.The knock sounded again, and I quickly looked in the mirror trying to be sure I look as normal as possible. I opened the door, to see Max's right hand raised up, about to continue knocking."Heyyyy" I greeted him shyly."Morning Laura," he
Laura P.O.VWe stepped into Elder Magnus' conference room and the chatter in the room went silent.As expected, Elder Magnus spoke first, "So kind of you to finally join us Alpha", he glared, "It's not like we've been waiting for you for about 30 minutes now or anything" he added, tapping at his wristwatch."Greetings to you too, Elder Magnus" I fixed him a pointed glance to show I was not scared of him. Evil people like him feasted on the fear of others."Welcome Alpha", Elder Lucina greeted bowing her head. She's a kind elder, one of the very few of them who still remained loyal to the pack instead of their pockets. Then Elder Axels, and others in the room followed suit."Thank you elders, I apologize for keeping you waiting" I told them as I headed to the seat at head of the table. The meeting room was designed and arranged just like a normal conference room, with an oval shaped table in the centre, I could count 6 chairs on each side, some of which were unoccupied. Max took his se
Laura's P.O.VMy driver drove as fast as possible, weaving through pack grounds till we got into Elder Magnus' compound. He's one of the top ranked elders, and according to my past life, very corrupt. Infact, he was the mastermind of everything. My parents really trusted him before their death.I opened to page 65, eyes skimming through the content there, and trying to decipher how I can properly explain its help to the council of elders. I hope Maxwell would be able to hold them off. My phone pinged, halting my thoughts.The screen brightened up, it was a text from Maxwell."Speak of the devil" I murmured.. "or the angel as the case may be"His text read, "I'll try to Alpha." Then three dots appeared underneath to signify he was still typing, "Are you okay?, Are you sure you don't need help?" The second text read. I smiled without even meaning to, always the worrisome one.I'm not oblivious to the fact that he loves me, he's been in love with me for so long. Even in my past life, he
Sonia P.O.VFirst she rushes us, and now she's taking her time. Always giving commands like it's her birthright; technically, it is but she doesn't have to be so rude about it."Walk faster, we don't want to keep the elders waiting" Maxwell spoke from the driver's seat of the car. He's so head over heels in love with Laura and she won't even acknowledge him."Well, the meeting probably won't start till Madam Boss Lady, next in line, Alpha's daughter is there so don't rush me" I hissed, rolling my eyes at him. I honestly don't give a damn if that sounded jealous.I rounded the side of the car to sit at the backseat, just because I know it'll annoy him and he wouldn't want to waste time by stalling. "What do you think you're doing? Why not sit here?" He asks, tapping his right hand on the passenger's seat as I opened the back door and settled in comfortably, his left elbow on the rolled down window."I don't want to, let's go" I answered, his face scrunched up like he wanted to argue,
LAURAI was eating my breakfast silently when a maid walked up to me with a bouquet of flowers. “Good morning, Luna. Someone sent these for you,” she said.I was confused at first but collected it, eager to check the card. “Who is it from?” I asked her.“I…I don't know. A guard just told me to give it to you,” she replied.“Okay, you may go,” I dismissed her.I started hassling the flowers, trying to get the card out but it somewhat got stuck in the flowers. “Where the fuck is it?” I tried looking for it, but it was stuck.“Who is from?” Maxwell inquired. I looked at him with a sarcastic expression on my face. “Can't you see that I'm trying to look for it?” I told him.He raised his hands in surrender. “Sorry,” I heard him mutter. I chuckled at his statement, finally able to get the card out of there.“Who would even send you a card?” Sonia interjected. I didn't bother replying to her messages and just rolled my eyes and was finally able to open up the card.‘I hope when these flower
**Laura's POV**Two weeks ago, I hosted an Alpha hurdle because I was advised to do so by the council of elders. Everything seems so good now. The Alpha's hurdle was still on and bored me decided to walk around for a while. I stood up and what I had in mind was going to meet up with Maxwell wherever he was. I don't even care if he's with the others.... .I need him. "Laura?" Sonia called me immediately she laid her eyes on me. If she talks like this and behaves like this I don't think we'd ever have issues."How can I help you." I asked her with hands akimbo."Nothing, don't act like anything is special about you, just wanted to have drinks with you." She replied sarcastically rolling her eyes at me.I scoffed and retorted back, I rolled my eye at her too.I really do want to have a very cold drink for real but the thing is, I don't and at the same time, I want to. I can't resist the urge so I'll just have her make it already. "Standing there and drooling at the same time won't make
**Laura's POV**I got frightened at the sight before me. I didn't know Sonia could go this far by doing this in open. "What do you think you're doing? Don't tell me you're the mastermind of this?" I muttered in shock." Common on, I can be that stupid, no matter how I really want to deal with you, I can't go to this length." Sonia replied with a sly smirk displayed on her face. I don't trust her, not even in this situation. She just made it clear that she wants to deal with me... I can't even let my guards down. I was naive before but she'll suffer. She must suffer. I looked at Maxwell who was still resting in my arms and wondered what I was going to do with him."Why is there a sword in your hand?" I asked curiously, obviously not minding the innocent look on her face.I noticed that Maxwell was beginning to get himself which got me a little bit excited. I looked backwards only to realize that the rouges were still fighting to come in.Maxwell is the son of the beta, he's fathe
