'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
Millicent's POVI look around and saw that I still had alot more to do but the heat was draining and I was getting tired. I prayed for the strength to complete my chores today.I wiped the perspiration from my forehead with the back of my hands, first with my right and then my left hand before it could slip down into my eyes, blinding me. And then proceeded to wipe them on the apron I had on. My body was soaked with sweat and my palms were very dirty from doing the chores all day.I finished sweeping the training arena as well as the reception and dinning halls for the top officials and council of elders.Then, I bent down to scrub, the sweat pouring down my body like someone had poured a bucket of water on it. My palms were no longer enough to wipe it, I had to use the apron to wipe my face at least. It was the middle of summer and the weather was really very hot. I got a mop and started mopping the the places I had swept and scrubbed, I do this everyday, at the Alpha's orders, which
While trying to shake father back to life, I looked the battle raging around me, my eyes searching for someone to help me save my father. I saw my mother and wondered why she had come out. I knew her Omegas and my father's Beta had taken her and some of the women and pups into the secret hideaway to protect her in her delicate condition. She might not have been able to stay away just like I hadn't. She and my father were so much in love. She must have felt her husband calling for her and came to answer his call.I waved at her frantically, pointing to my father. I knew the instant she saw me because she nodded and started towards us but right before my eyes, she fell. Some wolf attacked her, breaking her neck. And she fell heavily on her stomach.I was puzzled, at first, not knowing exactly what had just happened. One moment my mother was running towards us, the next she was lying in a pool of her own blood. When what had happened to her registered, the pain in my heart intensified al
Sylvester's POVI have heard rumours that my father, the late Alpha Merryweather, had not been as Ruthless as I am. I have also heard that I took after my uncle who liked bullying and engaging in wars. My mother too, had not been the docile type but a he - woman wolf since she one of the most ruthless Luna the park has ever had. I am fond of wars, I will not deny that. There is this rush it gives me to fight and when the wolf is a worthy opponent, I derive greater satisfaction in my defeat. I fight dirty, my main aim being to conquer and collect the spoils.But that wasn't the case with the Crescent Pack, where I got Millicent, he refected. I don't know why I didn't kill her along side her family. Her father had murdered my parents. I hated my father for being too kind, look what it got him! I vowed I was never going to be like him.Alpha Merryweather, had had a peace treaty with Alpha Harry of the Crescent Pack and had gone to meet with him so they could finalize and sign the terms
Millicent's POVI had just taken out the dirty laundry and proceeded to separate them into the different washing basins when I heard my name.'Millicent', the voice was really close and I swung round to see who the caller was, I hadn't known that someone else was behind the courtyard, with me. The courtyard was where I liked washing.It was a voice that commanded respect and brooked no disobedience. Before I even saw his face, I already knew it was Alpha Sylvester.'Yes?' I answered.'Is that any way to speak to your Alpha?' he asked, his voice thunderous. 'Add Alpha to your utterance whenever you address me!''Yes, Alpha!' I said, not really showing much remorse. I will not call you Alpha if I can get away with it, despite your maltreatment of me because I know you do not deserve that title. You have not earned it as far as I am concerned, I thought to myself.You are the cause of my predicament - you orchastred my loss - and hence do not deserve any respect or reverence from me. I
Every Omega, in fact every wolf always wondered how it would be like on their eighteenth birthday. That was the age when they officially came into their wolf.My eighteenth birthday was fast approaching and I was no different. I prayed to the moon goddess.'Oh goddess, you have not been fair to me, you blessed me with everything and then took everything away from me', I said as I recalled my mother falling with her her unborn son, throat bitten off, and my father lying in the pool of his own blood as the life drained out of him.I sniffed and looked up, to stop the tears falling. 'You allowed me to be orphaned and all I hold dear taken from me. I am asking for a very strong wolf on my eighteenth birthday, to enable me work out my revenge on my enemy'.The day of my eighteen birthday dawned and I longed for a work - free day to help me celebrate in private this special day. But did I say a work - free day? Was it going to be possible since my birthday coincided with the engagement party
My mood was spoilt and this was as a result of that frustrating discussion I had with Alpha Sylvester. It nearly caused me, my usual dip in the stream but I refused to be sorrowful. So I discarded my clothes and into the stream I walked, splashing, determined not to permit myself any depressing thought. My wolf was laughing as we had fun splashing around in the water.'Hope you have started your chores?' The voice permeated my consciousness, making me stop my thrashing in the water and look around but seeing no one, I realised that Alpha Sylvester had spoken to me through mind - link. The fun went out of my bath and I stepped out of the stream, down cast.'Cheer up. It is not all bad', wolf Milly said.I ignored her. Afterall, she was happy to have that God forsaken Alpha as her mate but I was not going to accept that except there was something in it for me - some way I could use it to my own advantage and work my vengeance on him. But how could my wolf and I have contrary feelings co
Alpha Sylvester's POVHer reaction was totally unexpected and disturbing. What is wrong with Millicent? I thought, as I watched her walk away with her head held high. It almost felt like she was happy to be exiled. Why should she when she had no where to go? She had not gone out of the Pack since I brought her here.'And why not?' Ezra my wolf challenged. 'You have not given her a reason to want to remain here with us'.'And I do not want to', I said irritably. 'She has to suffer for what her father did to me!''Listen to yourself! You sound like a broken record. Repeating yourself all over again. Why must she suffer for the crimes of her father? She is not her father afterall and may not be aware she is paying for her father's sins!' Ezra was really furious. I knew it was because he hadn't wanted Millicent out of our territory, because he still considered her our mate and harboured the hope that I might change my mind and claim her.'I understand how you feel Ezra, but you must reali

'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
