'You are just too good. How can you forgive an offense of such magnitude?' Christopher asked as I followed him away from the detention zone. Cathania had been escorted out of the premises, after Alpha Christopher had ordered that she never step her feet in the pack again!'We err and it is only right that we forgive those who have wronged us that those we wrong might forgive us as well!' I said.'I like your maxim', he said. 'Very inspiring '.'Not at all. Christopher, there's something I've been meaning to ask you', I said.'Ask away'!' he said, playfully. 'I believe you know the answer to the question if it concerns my feelings for you'.I hit him playfully. 'Oh, be serious, Christopher. What I want to know is how your parents died'.Christopher looked at me oddly.'I really want to know and please don't spare me. I need to know', I said. 'I have heard a few things. I want to know for sure!'Christopher looked at me for a long time and I was begining to think that I might not get an
Christopher's POVI felt bad as soon as Millicent ran off. Maybe I had not handled the matter the way I ought. I love her very much and whenever she is close, the beast in me wants to be released and I can barely keep him in. But I also love my brother. Sylvester and I may not see eye to eye sometimes, but he is s still my brother and Millicent hurt me when she acted like she hated both of us, especially Sylvester for murdering her parents and destroying her pack.Don't get me wrong. I feel bad that such a thing happened to her parents and I wish that I could do more to ease her pain. But I hated it when I felt that she had anger in her heart and possible hatred for Sylvester and me. How can love thrive in such an environment? Or did I overreact? Did I misread the signals? Was what she felt for Sylvester a love - hate? Sylvester himself had professed to love her, he who hated her previously. Was it the case with her as well?Why do I feel restless? Will Sylvester end up claiming Milli
Millicent's POVI ran off after listening to what Christopher said, his words echoing in my heart. 'You were going to become Sylvester's Luna, had I not come. You spoke just now with so much vehemence. Were you going to marry him with hatred in your heart?'How could he think I was so manipulative and mercenary that I'd feign to care for him when I didn't? Okay, maybe I was pretending with Sylvester but not with him. Never with him! Where was the love he professed to have for me? He had as much as said that I got close to him to avenge my parents on them both. It would not have been this painful if it had been true when it concerned Christopher. Did he know how I battled with myself not to feel anything for him but lost to the pull of our mate bond?I ran with no clear destination in mind but my feet led me to the one place I found peace. I felt a great pain in my heart at Christopher's lack of faith in me, that the tears kept pouring down.I sat in a fetal position on the grass, hold
'What's your problem, Sylvester?' I asked in angry frustration. 'Why do you like coming at the wrong times?''Christopher, I have a mind to fight you here and now!' he said. 'Why are you trespassing on my territory?''Your territory? Trespassing?' I asked, still very angry, my wolf furious at the interruption. 'How is she your territory? And how am I trespassing if I am with my mate?'''Christopher, don't get me started!' he said as furious as I was. This mate issue was lingering too much for my liking. It has to be resolved so that we all know our stand especially those who don't already know theirs. As for me, my fate was with Millicent to whom I am mated.'Sylvester, I should be the one telling you that. Do not get me started! How often does this have to go on? You keep interrupting my private time with my mate and you ask me not get you started?'Millicent came and stood between us. 'I am mated to the both of you and I can choose to be with either of you or the both of you. Your
Millicent's POV I got to the mansion and climbed the stairs to my room. Now that I was not in Christopher's embrace, I was feeling very fatigued. I recalled the discussion we had earlier about my parents death and I felt the rage rise in me again. I was sorry that my mates' parents had to be murdered brutally like Christopher had described but I was angry at the same time that my parents had been made the scape goat because I knew my father was not a traitor or a betrayer of trust.Something was nagging at the back of my mind but was proving elusive. I recalled that Christopher had spoken of sending his men to investigate the case. Now that he and I were getting close, maybe I should ask him to find out about my pack and what has become of it. Alpha Sylvester had not been interested in making it his but had left it in a state of ruin. Was it still in ruins or has others inhabited it?Unbidden, the scene replayed before me. The death scene that has refused to leave my mind. Then when
'Answer me, damn it!' Alpha Sylvester swore when I refused to respond to his question. 'What does my brother have that I don't? We both look alike, so if it is good looks I have it as well as he. If it's the title and position of Alpha, we both have it. Infact, you knew me as Alpha before him for goodness sake!' he said furiously.'You are not compassionate', I said gently. Christopher will not force himself on me the way you wanted to just now!''He wouldn't, would he?' he asked angrily. 'Why would he when you give in to him willingly and I have to ... what? Grovel? Beg? You want me to beg you for it? Is that it? Then you should have said so from the start. Dear mate Millicent, could you open your sweet cunt for my cock to grease? Please, mate, I promise you, it will be paradise'. he said mockingly. 'I had to try this rough way to make you realise I am male as well and can give you what Christopher can and perhaps even better if you give me half the chance you give him.'Was that ho
Sylvester's POV After arguing with Christopher over Millicent, I started for the mansion. I was seething. How long was this going to go on? Why does Christopher insists on the taking my mate from me? Sigh! Okay, so she is also his mate but hadn't we agreed to wait till it was all resolved? Why was he being so impatient? I wanted to have Millicent as well, I have a great uncontrollable urge to ravish her. I've had it for some time now, but I've been keeping my beast in check, why couldn't he? I wouldn't want him making me do what I might regret. If I had not controlled myself, we would have been engaged in a physical duel right now!I got to the mansion and had intended going to my room but as I passed by Millicent's room, the anger and jealousy - I have come to realise what that hated feeling was: jealousy - filled me again and I just wanted to let it out, hurt her because she was hurting me continually by being with Christopher when she could be with me!'What are you doing, Millic
'Answer me, damn it!' I swore when she refused to respond to my question. 'What does my brother have that I don't? We both look alike, so if it is good looks I have it as well as he. If it's the title and position of Alpha, we both have it. Infact, you knew me as Alpha before him for goodness sake!' I said furiously.'You are not compassionate', she said gently. Christopher will not force himself on me the way you wanted to do just now!''He wouldn't, would he?' I asked angrily. 'Why would he when you give in to him willingly and I have to ... what? Grovel? Beg? You want me to beg you for it? Is that it? Then you should have said so from the start. Dear mate Millicent, could you open your sweet cunt for my cock to grease? Please, mate, I promise you, it will be paradise'. I said. I hated myself for saying these words to her but I just could not stop myself. 'I had to try this rough way to make you realise I am male as well and can give you what Christopher can and perhaps even better
'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
