Sylvester's POV The mating ceremony was in full swing. I had invited alot of people and the turn out was indeed amazing. I looked around but could not find a special friend of mine whom I had invited. Charles Wolfe.I looked all around and found wolves bonding in one way or the other, some took their mates out to have discussions, some were kissing, those who just met each other were imprinting, the music was on and there were couples dancing, their bodies pressed tightly together leaving no doubt in the observers mind of what the intent is.I felt very lonely. Millicent had been here some time ago with Samanthabut was no where to be found. I didn't need a fortune teller to make me realise she had gone up to check on the pups who should not be awake at this time of the night. It was almost nine O'clock pm, and the party was just starting.Millicent was indeed a great hostess. The way she had welcomed the guest along side me had made me proud and increased the longing in my heart. If
Stacia turned out to be a great company and I found myself laughing at her jokes. Once, I looked up and saw Millicent looking at me in surprise and something else which I couldn't decipher but before I could determine what it was, she looked away, took a glass of juice from one of the servants moving around with trays of drink.Then my eyes were drawn to the entrance where someone had just come through. 'Ah!' I thought. Charles Wolfe had finally made his entrance.I tried to beckon on him through the crowd.'Who is that?' Stacia asked, her eyes following my eyes and gesture.'A friend', I said, not taking my eyes from Charles. 'We grew up together before he travelled for some form of training and decided he preferred to remain there, rather than come home'.Charles sighted me and I waved him over. He started walking towards me and smiling. Suddenly, his steps faltered as his attention became diverted. I followed his eyes only to find who had diverted his attention.'Millicent?' I th
'What do I mean?' she asked, looking daggers at me. 'You want to take advantage of me and you act as though you do not know what I was referring to?'I was shocked to the marrow by her words. Okay, maybe I had come on too strong but she hadn't been totally unwilling. 'I didn't hear you complaining earlier', I said, getting furious with her childish attitude. 'You were enjoying it as much as I. Why pretend now? Take advantage of you indeed!''That was a mistake. which will never be repeated. I didn't know what I was thinking!' she said.'I do!' I said. 'Let me enlighten you', I swallowed as I tried to control my fury. Millicent could really be infuriating. 'We are holding a mating ceremony in the Pack and you realise you are feeling lonely especially as you look around and find almost everyone pairing up. You want a mate to mate with but you keep lying to yourself!' She looked away but I held her jaw and made her look at me. 'Your loneliness tripled when Samantha met her second chance
Millicent's POVSurprisingly, I had been enjoying the mating ceremony, when I happened to look in Sylvester's direction and saw him speaking with a young beautiful female. He seemed to be enjoying her company because he kept laughing at what she said. I was shocked as his laughter evoked some strange feelings in me. I hadn't heard him laugh that way before.Sylvester looked in my direction and I felt embarrassed to have been caught staring and I looked hastily away, taking a glass of juice from a servant passing by with cups in f drinks in a tray. I recalled one party like this, long ago when I had been serving the party like that servant. It all seemed so long ago at Sylvester's engagement party to Cathania. I sighed. I wonder why I was recalling it now. 'So that you will be focused!' I told myself. 'What is this soft spot you seem to be developing for Sylvester?'I was still considering this when my eyes were drawn to the entrance door of the hall and I saw a handsome male come thr
At as the light exploded, I stiffened as I came back to my senses. What was I doing? How could I allow Sylvester touch me so intimately this way? I was filled with disgust at my wanton behaviour. 'Sylvester', I said, 'what are you doing?' I pushed him away with much force, that he fell backwards but I couldn't care less.'What do you mean?' he asked puzzled.'What do I mean?' I asked, looking at him furiously. 'You want to take advantage of me and you act as though you do not know what I was referring to?''I didn't hear you complaining earlier', he said, sounding really angry. 'You were enjoying it as much as I. Why pretend now? Take advantage of you indeed!''That was a mistake that will never be repeated. I didn't know what I was thinking!' I said.'I do!' he said. 'Let me enlighten you', 'We are holding a mating ceremony in the Pack and you realised you are feeling lonely especially as you look around and find almost everyone pairing up. You want a mate to mate with but you kee
'Dear Luna', Martins started. 'I am surprised, no male has chosen you as their mate yet. Though I am sure it is not from, not trying!''What do you mean?' I asked as we walked.'You must have broken alot of hearts by turning down proposals from the males who have tried to make you theirs!' he said. 'I wonder why your brother - in - law hasn't laid claim on you. It would be easier to get you to remain in the family for the sake of your pups'.I wondered if Sylvester had said anything to him but I had never seen him with Sylvester before today. Though that was not enough reason for him not to have been taken into Sylvester's confidence. Had Sylvester asked him to approach her? Then this was a waste of time.'Are you here on the behest of anyone?' I asked.'Oh no, no!' he said instantly. 'I am here for myself. Why would I speak for someone concerning something I want desperately for myself. I have loved you in absentia for so long. So, when Charles, my friend asked me to accompany him t
'There's nothing special about your kisses or your touch. I responded the same way to Martins just now. I can respond to anyone that same way if I so please!' I lied, happy that my voice was steady. I was still angry with myself for showing my weakness to him the way I did.'Liar!' he said, angrily. 'Believe what you will', I said. 'If we are done here, there's a real make waiting for me and perhaps you should go back to your plaything!''Are you jealous?' he asked smiling.'That will be the day!' I scoffed. 'We seem to be done here!' I tried to push him out of my way but he grabbed my hand.'Since you now desire every man that you see,you are not fit to care for my brother's pups who are now my pups!' he said, looking furious.'What do you mean?' I asked, not wanting to believe what I was hearing.'You are free to go with the man, what's his name again? Martins?' he said, waving it off, carelessly. 'But you shall leave my pups here and shall not be allowed to see them again!' he con
Being Sylvester's Luna was not as easy as I thought it would be. One consolation I got from the whole thing was that my wonderful pups would not be raised by another female and at least, I had made Christopher happier like he asked of me by being his brother's Luna even if being Sylvester's Luna was killing me slowly. Little wonder then that I had not wanted to be his Luna, contract or otherwise.Alpha Sylvester would go off, sometimes for two days, sometimes a three at a stretch and when he got back, he would be reeking of female perfume. I pretended it was of no concern of mine but it was getting harder to keep that up and he seemed to enjoy rubbing it in my face!The worst thing of all was that I was missing him. The silent comradeship we shared after Christopher's demise was gone and in its place was a sexual tension I could have done without and would rather die than admit to. I was jealous of those females that he seemed to be spending endless time with. My pups were the only th
'Dear Iris,I do not know what my life would be when you get this letter. I may have died or become a rogue, a wanderer. But whatever I become, I know you will not make it your business because I do not deserve it. But once more find it in your heart to forgive me and my family. I wish you all the best.NB: I have accepted your rejection, you must have felt it the instant that I did. And attached here is the divorce papers I have duly signed.Once more, I wish you the best!'Adrian B.Iris got this a week after her lengthy discussion with Adrian. She shed a few years. It was sad really. They had started well, at least so she had thought when they met. She had been so sure theirs was going to be like the love her parents shared that had stood the test of time and survived against all odds, but it was not meant to be.'Iris, what is the problem?' Millicent asked, when she saw tears in her daughter's eyes.. She just came to check on her daughter after having a steamy mating session with
'Iris, could not find it in your heart to forgive me?' Adrian asked. 'I thought you loved me?' This was coming three months later and when Iris had recovered enough and agreed to see him.'Loved' being the operational word here, darling. Right now, I do not even hate you!' Iris said, smiling at him. ' Hating you takes alot of energy I do not have to expend. The eighteenth months I spent being your wife was not all a waste. It thought me about self preservation and how fickle minded some beings can be!''I hoped you would forgive me for the pain you had to go through as my wife. I can't blame it all my mother but if I had had the right guidance, maybe I would have treated you better'.'Andrew is younger than you are and of the same parents', Iris said laughing amusedly. 'If anyone should act irrationally, he would have been my best bet but your irrational behaviour is unrivalled. I begged you to allow me go and stay with my parents till the pups were born but what did you do? Most prob
'Yes, please have Selina Blake ushered into this place at once!' Alpha King Sylvester said.'Mum, I know that I lost the baby from the heavy shove Roxy gave me, telling me it didn't matter if I lost my baby since she was going to give another to Adrian and make him a better wife than I', Iris said very weakly. 'But Wendy gave me a kind of brew that made me feel fat worse. It may have contributed to aborting the pregnancy as well because I felt an unbearable pain after taking it. As he also did not call for the doctor when I asked her to!''Wendy will be taken care of, don't worry. She signed her own death warrant when she messed with you my beloved daughter!''You got here so fast, I did not know if the mind link I sent mother went through before I passed out!' Iris said.'It did and we rushed to this place as soon as we possibly could!' Millicent said kissing her frail hands. 'Now you must go to bed, the rest will be said outside so as not to disturb your rest. I can see you are drow
Millicent fastened a metallic chain on Wendy. 'I came prepared to take you down should you be responsible for my daughter's predicament. This metal chain will drain you of all your powers and make it impossible for you to do the disappearing acts for which you are known!''Ha, ha, ha, ha!' Wendy laughed. 'I told you when we met that the war between us was not over yet. I am glad that I took your daughter's happiness from her. She was guarding that pregnancy jealously. I killed three birds with just one stone!' she mocked. 'I had thought it was just one baby but it was actually three. Ha,ha,ha,ha. This is poetic justice!''You shall be so severely punished that you will beg for death but it shall be slow in coming. I shall make sure to kill you ever so slowly, you won't forget it in the afterlife!' Alpha Sylvester swore.'One more thing', the doctor strained his voice to be heard above all the noise. 'May I see the Iris' parents and husband in private, please?'Three of them followed h
The screams had not gone unheard. Adrian had been having a meeting with his guards when he heard it. He rushed towards the sound to find both Iris and Roxy on the floor, unconscious and Wendy crying. There was blood everywhere!'Doctor, Adrian screamed. 'Come here quick!There was a flurry of activities as the ladies were laid down on the bed and the doctor started treatment immediately.'Do all you can to save my baby!' Adrian commanded. Tears were in his eyes. There was just so much blood and Iris was looking as pale as death. He could not afford to lose his baby and he realised with a pang that he did not want to lose Iris as well.Andrew rushed in. 'What's going on?' he asked when he saw the two females on the bed unconscious.When no one answered, he went to Adrian and shook his shoulders. Adrian was still in a state of shock. 'What happened, Adrian?'He was still shaking him when Alpha Sylvester and Millicent rushed into the room.'What happened here?' Alpha King, Sylvester bell
Adrian could not understand what the problem was with him but it was as though he was at war with himself. He realised that a part of him wanted to continue punishing Iris while the other part wanted to treat her with the love overflowing in his heart.But he kept maltreating her.Iris was surprised at the reverse in Adrian. I thought he had changed, he seems to have grown worse these days, she thought.'Adrian, you did promise me, you would think about my request to go home to my parents till the pup is born!' she asked him one day, after he eased out of her. The encounter had been very rough and inconsiderate of her feelings. She had been scared for her baby all through the time he kept thrusting savagely into her, as though in renewed punishment for something she had done,not unlike previously. She could take it before but not now that she had something to lose.'Are you going to force me to give you an answer now?' he asked furiously. 'In short, I have changed my mind. You are no
Iris dared not hope that the change in Adrian was as a result of a change in his feelings for her. If he would say the three magic words, she knew she would forget all that he had done to her in the past. But though she sensed a slight change in him, he did not act towards her like he lived her. He paid more attention to her stomach and she knew he was just interested in the pup and not in her!‘I better enjoy this reprieve while it lasts be ause after the birth of the pups, he might retrogress back to where they started. Not for the first time, she wondered what kind of future she would give her baby with a broken home and the hatred her inlaws except for Andrew of course had for her. Would such hatred be transfered.Two days later, she was resting on the bed, when Wendy, Roxy's mother came in to see her.‘Iris, how are you enjoying your marriage?’ she asked mockingly.‘The goddess be praised!’ she replied smiling. She knew why Wendy had asked the question and she was not going to gi
'Mum, is this really you?' Roxy screeched with joy. 'You were gone for so long!''A lot happened to keep me away', Wendy replied, slumping in a couch. 'I was determined to get here no matter how late it may seem and that's why I am here!''I was beginning to wonder what was keeping you, dear friend', Selina intoned when she came into the room to join them. I tried to stop them marrying, I kept postponing it till I could postpone it no longer. But I believe you have a plausible explanation. Tell us your story and how we can remedy this situation!'Wendy smiled. 'I knew that by now, Adrian would be married to Iris. I had hoped you might have come up with a way to stop them but you did well by stalling them'. Her face became serious. 'I had set out into the fields to get that rate plant for the potion I told you about but I was caught unawares by some rogue wolves!''Rogue wolves?' Roxy and Selina exclaimed, simultaneously.'Yes!' She confirmed, nodding. 'I just got to the field where I
Adrian went into their room after speaking with his mother and found Iris sleeping.He stood looking at her for a long time, thinking that she was indeed a lovely girl. His gaze shifted to her stomach and his heart twisted and he vowed he wasn't going to allow any harm befall his pup no matter the situation between him and Iris.He walked away from the door and went towards the bed Iris was lying in as though in a trance. He knew Iris was out and wouldn't wake easily due to the drugs she had been given.'I have given your Luna her medications.', the doctor said. 'She should not be disturbed. The drug will put her to a deep sleep, though a mild sedative because of her condition, it will still make her sleep deeply because of her injuries and the stress she's been through!'He touched her stomach, 'I'll let no harm befall you, my darling pup', he said as he kissed the stomach. He felt close to his pup and strangely drawn to Iris the more. He saw a lock that had escaped down her cheek a
