The nanny rushed in with the bottle of water, and Millicent grabbed it from her and forcing the quivering mouth of her daughter open, she kept pouring water into it, hoping it would cool her from the inside. She poured some on her body but her body temperature caused it to dry so quickly, it was unbelievable and Millicent got really scared. 'Bring a bowl of water', she ordered.The bowl was brought and Millicent put her daughter inside but had to remove her from the water after a while because the water became boiling hot!'Stop this manipulation, Lilibeth, this instant or I shall get you arrested and kept in the dungeon', Millicent threatened. 'Remember I am the Luna and you are here in my territory. Nothing must happen to my daughter!''I shall just get away from your dungeon. Do you think you can keep me captive?' Lilibeth asked, smiling smugly.Millicent knew that Lilibeth would just disappear to any place of her choice.'Why are you bring so stubborn?' Lilibeth asked. 'Just hand
The search went on but Lilibeth could not be found. It was as though she had disappeared into thin air.Going through all that had happened in the past to bring about this predicament, Millicent was sure there were lots of things she would have done differently, chief amongst them was the war that claimed Christopher's life in the first instance. 'Why does my daughter have to pay for my crimes?' she thought unconsolably.'Take me instead and spare my daughter, she is innocent!' Millicent recalled pleading with Lilibeth but she had laughed.'If you were the price I wanted, I could have taken you years ago!''Why must Iris pay for my mistakes?' Millicent asked. 'She is a pure soul. Innocent of all these!''Exactly!' Lilibeth said. 'I am taking her because she is still innocent and her heart is pure, untainted!''Why her?' Millicent asked, very suspicious all of a sudden. Why did Lilibeth need an untainted she - wolf of double Alpha blood? 'What do you want with her or more accurately, w
Millicent was uncontrollable. Her new found gift was so destructive, she only had to get angry and her eyes were blazing and she was literally spitting fire or more accurately, throwing flames of fire from her palms. Some of the subjects had started whispering. While others felt it was a gift to protect the pack from every seen and unseen attacks of their enemies, others felt it was a curse. How could one live with such a curse? What if they burnt themselves up or out?Alpha Sylvester decided to seek the help of a seer, about how to put this strange gift, Millicent seemed to be cursed with under control. He had started fearing for the lives of his children and his subjects. And Millicent also felt drained after every such exertion. He felt it was draining her up and he feared to lose her.'I have my suspicions about this new gift of my wife's. Could you tell us more about it?' he asked the seer when they were shown in.'Millicent', the seer called. 'you have indeed been favoured by th
Millicent's POVAs we walked home from the seer's, a fresh determination to get my daughter back assailed me. I was not going to give up. I was going to find Lilibeth and the Goddess will not be able to save her from my wrath!The next day, as I prepared to set out on the search, Sylvester wanted to come with me but I refused.'You need to stay in the pack and over see its affairs', I said. 'I have all the weapon I need and the Goddess is with me'.He at first would not bulge. 'Remember the pack comes first', I told him.'It is also the Pack's affairs we ate going for', he reasoned. 'Afterall, Iris is the Pack's princess and getting her back should take top priority!''You are right and that's why I'm going', I said. 'Both of us cannot just leave and don't be afraid that Lilibeth will harm me. She can't. You should be scared of what I'd do to her when I see her because I shall definitely see her today!''Very well, since you are determined to go alone.', he conceded. 'But I shall not
This hide and seek game Lilibeth was playing was grating on my nerves and my fury started building up. The men seeing my face, took several steps backwards. Alpha Sylvester must have asked them to avoid me when I was in a foul mood to avoid being roasted.Then like in a trance, I went back to her house and started burning the whole place up with the fire. I had been hesitant before now because I wanted the damage to be minimal and also, I did not to burn up Iris in my rage but somehow, I knew that Iris would be safe. The Moon Goddess still had great plans for her. I believed like the seer said, Iris still had a lot to accomplish.I stated spraying the fire in the air around the house and at every corner. Then something caught my eye. I went over to the place and saw that in a tiny house built with glass, a body was lying there, lifeless.'Lilibeth!' I called in a terrible voice. 'I shall burn up the body of your daughter if you do not appear before me right now!''Ha, ha,ha', she laug
Third Person POVAll that had transpired about nine years ago. Now Iris and her twin brother Ares were already twelve, while my first set of twins Devin and Kevin were big boys of fifteen, learning the art of warfare. They undergo rigorous training and though I protested, Alpha Sylvester would hear nothing of it. 'They have to be strong enough to rule after me', he said. 'I do not want my sons to be weak Alphas. They have to be able to defend and protect their packs!' he said seriously.'But they are still very young', I complained.'No, they're not!' he said shaking his head, vigorously. 'I and my late brother started our training at eight. Their training is long overdue', he said. 'It seems I've been treating them with kid gloves but I shall be stricter with them henceforth. They shall thank me later! And from tomorrow, Ares will join his brothers. He should have started long ago as well!'After the training, the boys went in to have their bath and lunch. And Millicent decided to w
Millicent looked at Wendy condescendingly, 'You flatter yourself!' she said. 'Your betters have not been able to defeat me and you think you can?''Ah, yes!' Wendy said. 'I heard of the way you dealt with Lilibeth. Sasha had it coming but you robbed me of my revenge on her and you shall pay. I am supposed to be the one punishing her for siding with you against me but you beat me to it. I shall never forgive you for that. I have added that to the list of your sins against me!''Why are you here?' Millicent asked.'Just to introduce my daughter to you!' she said, smiling smugly.'Your daughter?' Millicent asked and wondered what wizard she had had to hook up with to for whom she had such a lovely daughter.'Yes, mine!' she said, looking at Millicent oddly as though expecting a particular reaction from her. 'Doesn't she look like me?'Millicent smiled. The girl was far more comely than Wendy could ever hope to be. Her nose was aristocratic, her facial bones, well formed and her fair hair.
Alpha Sylvester kept quiet. He did not say anything. She kept looking at the girl as though he was seeing a ghost!'Sylvester', Millicent called, feeling really scared and uneasy now. It was as though her world was about to crumble around her. Why was Sylvester not denying this accusation? 'Why aren't you saying anything? If you do not speak up, now, she is going to ruin our family with her false accusations!' she warned.Still Sylvester could say nothing. Wendy smiled. She knew Millicent could read minds and had decided that she should read the name in her mind and Sylvester was making everything easy for her. This was even a better form of revenge. It was a great idea to allow Millicent sweat a little. She was always so full of herself.'He cannot deny it because he knows the truth!' Wendy said, smiling smugly.'What truth do I know, Wendy?' Alpha Sylvester asked harshly and Millicent was sure this was the time Sylvester denies all responsibility to the girl.'The truth that Roxy is
