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
'Mum', Roxy said on their way back. 'That man is really goodlooking. But I do not understand why you did not correct that bad woman, Millicent when she assumed he was my father. Didn't you tell me that my father was long dead?''We shall keep that information to ourselves for now and see what Alpha Sylvester, that's the man's name and he is your father's twin brother, will do', Wendy said, smiling excitedly. 'Will he reveal it to his wife or keep it away from her? That remains to be seen. If he does tell her about it, then we shall have to devise another means to make her feel pain!' Wendy said, smiling deviously.'Why do you think Alpha Sylvester did not say anything?' Roxy asked. 'He could have denied being my father but he didn't!''But that's because he feels he is your father!' Wendy said.'I don't understand ', Roxy said puzzled. 'Is he my father or is he not?''He is not your biological father but he is trying to protect his dead brother, such misguided loyalty! It runs in the
Things were not as cozy in the Moon Ville Pack between Alpha Sylvester and Millicent as it formerly was after Wendy's visit. Millicent could not reconcile herself to the fact that Sylvester had lied to her and while claiming undying love for her even while Christopher was alive, he had secretly been mating Wendy. The thought of it tore at her heart. She tried to be objective about it. Telling herself, it was not a big deal, it was before their marriage and it wasn't as though he wanted to get married to Wendy now, but it still mattered that he had done it and a child had resulted from that union. The irksome thing about all this was that he had refused to say anything more about the issue, not that there was anything more to say anyway and she was too proud to ask him anymore. Their intimacy was suffering. Millicent missed their explosive mating and though Sylvester had tried to get her to mate with him, Wendy and her child seem to always come between them, because she recalls their
Wendy and Roxy were back in the doorstep of Alpha Sylvester and Millicent. ‘Oh, please do come in’, Millicent said warmly and Wendy was surprised. She had not expected this warm reception. If their last encounter was anything to go by, she had expected her to be hostile and unresponsive. But she didn't really know Millicent who had vowed she was not going to give Wendy the pleasure of knowing her visit had put a great strain on her loving relationship with her husband.‘Thank you, so much!’ Wendy said. ‘We have come to hear your decision concerning our fate here!’‘You're Welcome’, Sylvester said, not surprised at Millicent's performance. Anyone seeing her would not believe she had been acting like a stranger towards him. The good thing about Millicent was that she only acted cold towards him when they were alone. If they had observers or guests, you would never guess, they were having issues.Sylvester cleared his throat. ‘What was it you said again?’ he asked.‘What do you mean?’ W
As soon as Roxy started living in the mansion, he made it her duty to make life a living hell for Millicent. Millicent on the other hand, took it in her stride, knowing Roxy was just acting out her mother's instructions. She disciplined her though when necessary just like she did her own children.Iris, tried to be friends with her after her father had introduced her to all the children and to the pack as one of the late Alpha Christopher’s children.‘She is an illegitimate child of Christopher's but his child none the less, so we accept her’, the chief said. ‘Therefore, you are welcome, Roxy Christopher Merryweather into the Moon Ville Pack!’ And there was an applause.Devin and Kevin who were her elder by about nine months, tried to make her feel welcomed and she found that she liked them.‘They are the sons of your father by that wicked woman, Millicent!’ Wendy told her daughter. ‘How can you be close to them? How can you grow attached to them?’There were alot of things that her m
Like Millicent suspected, Roxy started acting up after Wendy's visit. She no longer wanted to be close with her siblings and not even with Devin and Kevin.She wished she could change the hands of time, maybe she would not have come out of her room in search of Christopher that night and maybe this nightmare in the name of Wendy would not have come back into their lives.‘Maybe we should stop Wendy from visiting, henceforth!’ Millicent suggested to Alpha Sylvester one day.‘We have already reached that agreement. Refuting her visiting rights now would be tantamount to going back ony word and I can't do that?’ Alpha Sylvester said.‘Even at the risk of your children's physical, social and mental wellbeing?’ Millicent asked.‘Even at the expense of their wellbeing!’ Sylvester agreed. ‘but I trust you. You will contain the situation and make a better child out of Roxy like you’ve been doing. Do not think I haven't been noticing it. Well done, my dear Luna!’That was the end of that discu
