As the rain pattered against the windows, Mark sat across from Emma's husband Jonathan, in the comfort of his home. Emma had invited Diego over for dinner as a way to make the two men meet each other. Diego accepted the invitation as a way to express his gratitude for every thing Jonathan had done for his family over the past few years. Jonathan had been there for his wife and children in a way that he could never repay, and he wanted him to know how much he appreciated him. On the other hand, Jonathan had been there for Emma and her children in a way that no one else had, and she wanted him to know how much he meant to them.He had taken on the role of a second father to her children, helping them with homework, cooking meals, and even attending their school events."Jonathan, I just want to say thank you for every thing you've done for us," Diego said, raising his glass of wine in a toast.Jonathan smiled warmly at him. "It's been my pleasure, Your Majesty. Your family means the wo
Drago and Emily couldn't let go of Jonathan. They had been crying since Emma told them that they were leaving back to their real home without Jonathan following them. They had thought he was, but when Emma said he was staying back, Emily couldn't stop from crying."Why aren't you coming with us?" She asked in tears, holding his leg."Daddy has to face the future.""Why not face it with us?" She asked, staring up at him with wet stained eyes."Because your home isn't my home." He squatted down so that he was looking straight at her. "My home belongs here while yours belongs with the Lycans.""But I am not a lycan."Jonathan chuckled. "Of course, you are. You just haven't realized it yet." He pulls Drago and Emily into his arms, it hurts him to lose them but he knows he has to. They needed their real father more than they needed him. He kissed their forehead, hugging them like it was his last. Maybe it is.Emma stood, watching them with wet eyes. Though she has never had any thing ille
After what took like hours, they finally got to the Lycan pack. Emily and Drago would wake up, then go back to sleep. This was actually the fourth time they were going back to sleep, and probably Emma's second time. She has never embarked in such a long journey before.Diego on the other hand has been awake throughout the journey. He wasn't feeling sleepy because he hardly felt sleepy. Also, he needed to stay awake for a safe journey or some thing bad would happen and it would be too late to save every single soul in the car.When they finally got to the mansion, Emma woke the kids up. Emily yawned, rubbing her eyes. "Mummy…""Hey, sweetheart, it's time to wake up. We're home now.""Daddy, is this our home?" Drago asked, pointing at the building before them."Yes, son. It is." He replied.They stepped out of the car. Without hesitation, Drago and Emily had already made their way hasty into the building. Emma quickly followed them so they wouldn't get injured or miss their way."Drago!
Luna Malfoy took Drago and Emily to the garden. She sat at one corner under a tree watching as the two kids played. She was excited that they were gradually getting used to their new home, accepting every one as a family.She's been spending most of her hours with them since two days ago they returned home. Their presence alone made her smile. She found joy playing with them. Even if she isn't in the mood for any thing or any one, she was always in the mood for Drago and Emily.Let's just say, they are her antidotes.Diego had thought bringing Emma was gonna change his mother, but no, he was wrong. The kids were. "Grandmother, do you know I can draw?" Emily said."Wow!" She exclaimed. "Really?""Yes, grandmother. I even painted a picture of my father when he first came to Alaca.""Oh, really? But daddy never told me that.""Yeh. He must have forgotten." She said, "Daddy was actually laughing when you showed him the drawing.""Yes, he was. What about it, Drago?""That's because he kn
It was finally the weekend, the day the final ritual is to be done to appease the gods and reverse the curse from the Lycan lineage. A Sorceress was summoned to take over the ritual ceremony.She had called for Emma and Diego to stand before the altar. Their bloods will be used as an incense to melt the mind and heart of the gods which has been stated to be a long lasting belief of both the werewolves and lycanthropes.The two stood before the altar. The witch requested for their left hands which they stretched forward at her. The atmosphere was a quiet one, every one watched but none said a single word.The witch sliced Emma's palm and likewise did the same to Diego. She made them pour their blood on a golden cup. She stirs the blood together, pouring it on a golden bowl. She raised the bowl above her head and made some incantations only she could understand. Then she brings it down, raising it up again and repeating the same words. After she had done it three times, she poured the
9 Years LaterEmily sat at the love garden with her book in her hand. She was a bookish which got some people to love her for it, and the others who envies her for being the best in academics. Diego was a bookish too, but not to be compared to Emily who knew every thing like the lines on her palm. Fur to Emily's seriousness in her studies, she was bullied by those who hated her.While she was reading a bully came to her side with his group of friends. He beats the book off her hand. Emily silently picked it up without saying a word to her. All he had wanted was a reaction but Emily never offered it to him, rather it was Drago who also fought for her."What? You don't talk again?" He said, beating off the book again. One of his friends whispered some thing in his ear. He laughed, nodding his head. "Oh, guess I must have forgotten. Your sweet brother always trying to play the super hero all the time."Emily stands up to leave but he held her back, dragging her arm to sit down. "Where d
Emma kept to her words. She didn't tell Diego about the kid's issues in school, she decided to handle the case herself. She held Emily and Drago at both hands as they matched to the headmaster's office. Her face wasn't looking nice, she was boiling in anger that her children had been bullied since first grade and no one told her about it. Not even the school authorities took care of it. "Maybe, I've been too quiet and gentle, that's why they feel like my children are some kinda punching bags to play with." She muttered inwardly as they continued to the door."You two should stay here while I go talk some sense into your headmaster's head."Emily glared at Diego to know if he did notice their mother's anger. "Don't worry about her, she knows how to handle stuff like this." He assured her.Emma opened the door and walked in. "Good morning, Mr…" she looked at the name on the desk. "Smith. My name is Mrs Malfoy.""Oh, you are the parent of Drago Malfoy?" He asked."Yes, I am. I was info
Rogan walked into Mr Smith's office with trembling legs. His face was buried to the ground, he couldn't spare a second to look at him. "Have a seat."Rogan took time to sit, the fear still hadn't left him. He has heard a lot about Mr Smith's other side, especially when a student goes against the school rules. "How is your nose?" He asked calmly.Rogan was surprised at his question. He wasn't sure if he had heard him tight or if some how his imagination was playing games at him, but he went ahead replying."Getting better.""It's saddening to hear that you have been a bully since first grade. How old are you by the way?" He asked."Fourteen." He answered."Do you have any idea how old Drago and Emily are?" Rogan shook his head. "No idea.""So why have you decided to spend your entire lifetime to bully them?" He questioned.Rogan was speechless. Words couldn't find its way out of his mouth as he kept glaring at the ground. "What's so special about the floor?" Mr Smith said, causing h
Rogan had found himself in a new home with the Lycans, and to his surprise, he was doing perfectly fine. The transition had been smoother than he had anticipated, and he was quickly learning to adapt to their ways.From the moment he arrived, Rogan was met with warmth and acceptance by the Lycan pack. They had welcomed him with open arms, treating him as one of their own. It was a stark contrast to his previous life, where he had felt like an outsider.Rogan had always been an observant and quick learner, and this trait served him well in his new environment. He paid close attention to the pack dynamics, the hierarchy, and the customs they followed. He was determined to fit in and earn his place among the Lycans.Diego, the alpha of the pack, recognized Rogan's efforts and progress. He saw the potential in him and decided to appoint him as a second-ranked omega. It was an honorable position within the pack, a testament to Rogan's dedication and ability to adapt.As a second-ranked ome
As the alpha of the Crescent Pack approached the cell in a slight pace, he kept on asking himself why he was in such an hurry and he got no reply to the question till he got to the heart of the city where the cell was located.His heart sank at the sight of his guards sprawled on the ground. He rushed into the dungeon, finding it empty, and a growl escaped his throat."Where is he? Where can ha possibly ran to?? Find Rogan and bring him to me alive! Now!"The pack members, alerted by his roars, swiftly spread through the territory in search of the traitor. The search got prolonged from the evening till morning but there was no evidence to catch the one that rescued Rogan.The alpha of the Crescent Park was very vexed, he was determined to know who the person was, he wanted and needed Rogan in his park and he won't allow any other pack to have him. He then commanded his warriors to search beyond the territory to see if they can find anything, if they can catch any scent for them to tr
.Alex, accompanied by the royal guard and a small group of trusted men, embarked on their mission to the Crescent Pack to find Rogan. The journey was filled with anticipation and worry. Emily prayed fervently that they would locate Rogan and that he would be in a good state.Meanwhile, back at the packhouse, Diego couldn't ignore the concern etched on Emily's face. He knew she needed reassurance and support during this challenging time. With a gentle knock on her door, he entered her room. His presence brought a sense of comfort, and he took a seat beside her on the bed.Diego looked at Emily, studying her expression. He understood the turmoil she was experiencing and decided to inquire about Rogan. With a tender tone, he began asking her a few questions, allowing her to share her thoughts and concerns. Emily opened up to him, describing Rogan's strength and determination, as well as her hopes for his well-being."Emily, my dear, how are you holding up??"She clutched her hands tightl
Emma decided to call Diego since he was the only one able to make them stop. Fortunately, he was just returning from a pack meeting looking stressed out. He was able to hear the voices of the kids from outside. Emma hurriedly explained to him that they had refused to stop shouting at each other, their argument escalating beyond control. When he arrived at the scene, just a word from the alpha made them stop, "quiet!!" their expressions turning solemn as they both became silent. The room restored it's silence back."Father!!" They whispered, staring at Diego in astonishment.Diego looked at his children, his eyes shifting from one to another. "Alright," he said, his voice firm but calm. "I want each of you to explain to me what happened, one at a time."The siblings glanced nervously at each other before Drago began recounting the events that led to the argument. "Emily here is accusing me of knowing about the capture of Rogan, who was......" Alpha Diego cut him short."Who is Rogan??"
The tension between Drago and Emily hung thick in the air, suffocating their once close bond. Drago's pleas for forgiveness fell on deaf ears as Emily remained adamant that Rogan's safe return was the only path to reconciliation.Drago's relentless begging for forgiveness only fueled Emily's anger. She refused to give in to his pleas, her heart consumed by the pain of her brother's perceived betrayal. The silence between them persisted, growing more pronounced as they arrived home, each passing moment widening the rift that separated them.Silent animosity spread into every aspect of their lives. Even as they arrived home, their words were replaced by icy silence, their gazes avoiding each other's as if they were strangers inhabiting the same space. Their mutual silence spoke violence, echoing the depths of their hurts and disappointments.Luna Malfoy and Emma, keen observers of the family dynamics, perceptive to the emotional turmoil, watched with growing concern. They watched as Emi
Rogan sat still, thinking so hard about everything around him. He had never been so confused all his life, he thought he was going to get out of there when the young damsel left but then, the arrival of the alpha made him thought otherwise, he was simply sceptical about the alpha's words to him, his hope was lost and he remembered Emily's words to him.He didn't knew what to think for the only thing he knew was what he wanted which has nothing to do with the Crescent Park but then there was Emily, who always pleaded with him to join the park and it was for his own good.He remembered that Emily had told him or rather, pleaded with him to join the Crescent's pack but he had bluntly refused. But then he was reconsidering about joining the Crescent Park."It seems the only way to escape and be okay is to join the crescent pack as Emily had suggested but then there is me, who doesn't like anything about the park, their activities are strange and not appealing in sight. How can I be in som
Rogan was in the room for hours, he was so hungry and struggled with the chain again to see if his struggles would pay off at that time. He kept on dragging the chain, he would then released it and again he would drag and released it, he kept on repeating the process, making a loud and unpleasing noise with it. Rogan became week and tired, his strength had been weighed off him and all he was thinking at that moment was how to get it back. Rogan was feeling so empty and tired from within, he bowed his head in emptiness, contemplating on how to get his lost strength back. He was still contemplating when the door opened. At first, Rogan thought it was the young damsel who returned to answer the last question he asked her, he was so happy that she came back, happy that his hope was restored and he could be able to go back home to Emily and probably Drago.Rogan happily raised up his head, and his happiness turned to something else. Standing before him was the alpha himself, the alpha of
Rogan woke up in a strange room, he felt his back hurting him, he wanted to lift up his hand trying to ease the pain but he discovered that he can't lift it, his hand was chained."What the f***?? What's going on?? Why am I chained?? Where am I??" He questioned himself rhetorically.Rogan looked around the room. The place was strange, he looked up just to see where the chain started which was above his head. The chain traveled from above his head, down to his back to his hands and legs.He noticed that air was blowing on his chest and looked down at his body, he was dressed with only his trousers on, his top was removed and the upper part of his body was bare with nothing to cover up his upper nakedness.Rogan looked around and discovered that he was in a cell and he was a criminal at the moment, chained strongly to the wall which gave him no escape route. He sighed in defeat with his head bowed.Rogan was terrified and struggled with the chain, trying to break free from its bondage b
Emily stood up from the floor still in shock, she couldn't believe what she saw, she ran straight to Drago's classroom to bring out Drago and to ask him for help but as soon as she got to the classroom, she was stopped by the physics teacher."And what do you think you're trying to do?? You're trying to enter my class?? What audacity??" The teacher thundered."I'm sorry Mr, I'm not here for your class, I'm here to call a student, I really need his attention right now, please sir, we won't stay out for long." Emily pleaded almost in tears."Get out of my class right this moment before I change my mind and punish you instead!"Emily gaited away with a delusional mind, her thoughts were messed up and she had no choice whatsoever again than to mind link Drago.Emily mind linked Drago and updated him about the sudden appearance of that people from the Crescent pack."Drago we are doomed, Crescent pack is here and I still can't find Rogan, I'm so worried right now, what am I to do?? They mu
