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
'Roxy, look very closely at this man sitting on the bed', Millicent said after taking a deep calming breath. 'Who is he to you?''He's my uncle!' she answered, nonchalantly.'He is your father!' Millicent corrected patiently.'He's not my father. My father is dead!' she protested.'He is your father. Your adopted father is still your father!' Millicent insisted.'If you say so!' Roxy shrugged.'Why would you be in the position I saw you with him? Should you be in that position with your father?''We were not doing anything wrong!' she protested. 'Can I not cozy up to my father? Is it wrong for me to desire to be petted and loved by my parent?''Of course not. A child can be cuddled by her parents, there's nothing wrong in that’, Millicent said, patiently. ‘But there's a difference between being cuddled as a child and being caressed as a mate!’ Millicent said, refusing to feel foolish or that she was being pressumptious by Roxy's question because she was sure of what she saw. She could
When Millicent came into the room asking what was going on, I at first thought what did she mean, but then I realised that I had a she - wolf in my arms and had been about to get intimate with her but what repulsed me the most was that the she - wolf in question was my own adopted daughter. How did this happen?Millicent was screaming as though she had gone insane. ‘She is your niece for goodness sake. Your own brother's daughter, what were you thinking?’ But that was where she got it wrong. Roxy was not my niece, she was my daughter. I had adopted her afterall. Christopher’s children were my children as well! But she was right, what was I thinking?‘I was not thinking of…’, I started,trying to tell her I could never think of doing anything untoward with Roxy my daughter but she interrupted me.‘Of course, you were not thinking….’, she raved on and on and I stopped listening as I thought of what could have come over me. Roxy was pretty but I was not attracted to her. How could I be at
Third Person POVMillicent went in to see her children and wish them a good night. The first set of twins had always told her, 'We are not kids that you should always come check on us. We shall soon get our wolves!' But, they never complained when she kissed them goodnight, except of course there was someone else, there with them. Infact, they loved it. It made them feel loved and close to their mother. Millicent would smile understandingly and ruffle the hairs on their heads.She would proceed to the other twins and do the same. Iris would hug her and kiss her back and so would Ares. Roxy would act aloof but it never deterred Millicent who had taken her as one of her children. She was Christopher's daughter afterall!Alpha Sylvester was waiting for her in their room. 'I am lucky to have Millicent ruling by my side', he said to himself. 'My fame and fortune has increased tremendously since I made her my Luna. Who would have thought that the tiny girl of yesteryears would turn out to
Alpha Sylvester was shocked that the person he had been about to mate was Wendy. They had been expecting her to pull such a trick but after waiting for about a forthnight and nothing happened, they had started to let down their guards. He had just decided to do what Millicent had asked him to do just for the sake of it, not because he had suspected the person to be an impostor.'Are you deaf?' he shouted. 'Where is Millicent?''Right here, my love!' Millicent said coming through the door. 'I see, you've caught the impostor!''Millicent, do not think you have won!' Wendy said. 'You just got lucky. I shall not stop till I have you where I want you', she said, laughing hysterically. 'I shall have you begging me for your life!''Look who's talking!' Alpha Sylvester said. 'You have been caught and instead of you begging for your life, you are here, bragging? What is to stop us burning you to death? You have trespassed afterall!''Ha,ha,ha,ha!' she laughed some more and tied to vanish but f
Millicent had just got back from running one day when suddenly, she felt a presence behind her as she entered the reception hall.The pack had been relatively peaceful for about four months now and Wendy had not bothered them again for that long, though Millicent didn't want to let down her guard. But what made her happier was that Roxy seemed to be turning to a well bred hybrid. Of course, Roxy had asked to be told the whole story, she wanted to know the full extent of her mother's deception but Millicent had told her, that her mother had told her everything that needed to be told.'How did my father die?' she asked and though the pain had grown blunt with age, Millicent still winced.'You don't want to know, believe me', Millicent said. 'But why all this questions? It's all in the past now and you already know what you ought to help you adjust to your new status as one of the princesses of this pack', she had smiled, pushing her cheek tenderly.'But how is it possible that I know a
'Yes, me!' Wendy said as she came out from behind the door.'It would seem that you have not learnt from your mistakes!' Millicent stated, not surprised that Wendy would want to attack her again but surprised that it had to be with her mortal enemy, someone she swore to deal with. Wendy had even said she was not going to forgive Millicent for destroying Lilibeth before she could. Well maybe that's the reason she has teamed up with Lilibeth, to teach me a lesson. Afterall, it is said that the enemy of an enemy is a friend! Since the witches have a common enemy, they teamed up as friends to defeat her. 'And you do not know who you are dealing with!' Wendy boasted. 'Now there are two of us, I pity you!''Bring it on!' Millicent said quietly. So quietly that they nearly didn't hear her but the look on her face was terrifying but both witches were past caring.The fire balls kept flying and being dodged by all parties. Since Wendy had no fireball, she just kept using her magic to flog M
It was Iris' and Ares' eighteenth birthday, and a big party was thrown in their favour. All the Alphas of the neighbouring packs were all invited and they came with their families.Alpha Sylvester, was well respected throughout the werewolf kingdom and at the last Alpha's meeting, he was voted the Alpha King. He knew that it was not due to his strength alone but also due to the immense power that his Luna wielded beside him.Among the guests was Luna Selina of the Moonlight pack. She came with her sons, Adrian Blake and his younger brother, Andrew Blake.'Luna Selina you are welcome to my humble abode', Millicent said to Selina, trying to be the perfect hostess. She welcomed all the other guests as well and everyone was seated at the table and the discussion and drinks flowed.'We need to see the celebrants', most people said.Iris and Ares were ushered out so the birthday song could be sung for them.'Iris is such a lovely girl', a she wolf said. 'Her beautiful mother cannot hold a t
'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
