Cathania ended up spending the night with me and we mated two more times before morning. She was insatiable and I imagined it was Millicent I was mating, that made the experience more body quaking.Very early, though, I woke her and asked her to leave. 'Do not come back here again. You asked me to fuck you one last time and I obliged you. Let us part as friends', I said. 'Whatever you need, I shall give to you but leave Millicent out of it. It might seem otherwise, but she really has done you no wrong!'Cathania smiled, but said nothing and very soon was ready to leave. She kissed me. 'Enjoy your life!' she said simply.After Cathania left, I felt guilty, that I had betrayed Millicent. But she is the one who keeps betraying me with my own brother! I thought, trying to rationalize my actions and assuage my guilt.I put on my jumpsuit, wanting to go jogging. I had never gone jogging this late before but for the fact that I hated missing it, I would have stayed back. I had been battlin
Millicent's POVI ran with the speed of a whirlwind, knowing that if Christopher caught up with me this time, I would be totally undone and would not have the courage to resist him nor go away again. The thought of the consequence of such an action pumped adrenalin into my bloodstream and I ran even faster, masking my scent all the way.I heard his anguished howl and it broke my heart. It was the hardest thing I had ever done - running away from love and happiness. It took all I had not to turn back and run into his arms and soothe his pain. I understood how he felt. It was like finding everything you ever wanted and then all that you ever desired slips through your fingers or is taken from you and you are left with nothing. The only difference is that I could go back if I really wanted to and if I was ready to bear the consequences, which I was not but he did not have that choice. If he did, he would come after me and damn the consequences.I knew the first place Sylvester would ask t
Christopher's POVI watched the days turn into weeks and then into months and my Luna, my mate, my life, my Millicent did not come back. How could she bear to be away from me when I was languishing and agonizing over her?I had lost appetite for food, had Samantha not used her female tricks to get me to start eating again.'Millicent, come back to me, I have so much I want to tell you!' I cried silently in anguish.During the day, I smiled and went about my duties but in the night, Oh, how I dread the night, these days. That is when all the feelings came to the fore. I can't stop remembering our night together. If I had magic, I'd use it to conjure Millicent. Some nights were far worse than others. My wolf would wriggle and wriggle in anguish and frustration. I have never felt Zara distressed this way before. It seemed we were never going to recover from Millicent's flight. I occupied myself with my duties during the day, trying not to think because my thoughts were always of her. I
Millicent's POV You are being too cautious and suspicious, I thought to myself. What other interest could Alpha Blake possibly have in you or your story, other than as a pointer on how he could be of help to you?'I served Sylvester for about ten years his maid but he rejected and exiled me, once he found out that I was his fated mate!' I said looking at Blake as though it answered all the questions.'Go ahead!' he prompted, rejection of mates was not new to him, obviously.'I accepted his rejection and went on exile but you now know that he came for me, taking me back with him to his pack under the pretense that he had turned a new leaf and wanted me back in his life but he just wanted to use me to secure his position as one of the Alphas of The Moon Ville Pack.'I was so hurt and angry that I decided I was going to make him pay but then Alpha Christopher came home and I knew he was my fated mate. I was fated to the both of them, apparently. There was no way to resolve it except one
Third Person POVWhile Alpha Christopher was busy trying not to think about Millicent but failing miserably, as he went insane with his need for her, missing her terribly and torturing himself for not being smart enough to know what she had planned and stopping her, Alpha Sylvester was doing almost the same. The news that he had murdered Millicent's parents for nothing kept weighing on his mind. He recalled Millicent's words, 'You murdered an innocent man and his pregnant wife and I shall never forgive you for that!'The thought of how he had maltreated her when she was a maid, kept replaying in his mind. When he thought about that time, he shuddered at the beast he had been. How could he have been so blinded by rage that he had not cut her any slack?And recently, he had almost raped her. Was there no end to the list of his atrocities against her? How then did he expect her to love him. All these were bothering him because his love for Millicent had increased since hearing of her f
At the grave stone of her parents, Millicent wept, reliving again the events that took place in her pack, eleven years ago.'I shall bring you justice!' she said as her tears dropped on the grave. 'I shall make sure, Sylvester and any other person responsible for your deaths pay for this. I shall avenge you! she howled loudly, looking up as she howled the vow.After that she stood and Cara walked her back home.'Don't you want to see the pack?' she asked.'Not now!' Millicent said, bitterness in her heart. Old wounds had just been reopened.'Good decision! Remember the vow you just howled to your parents and do not grow faint in it's execution', Cara advised. 'Also, there is a lot more I have to tell you. Things that you are not aware of but should know. I shall tell you when you come back victorious from the attack on Sylvester', she called the name like it was a bitter taste in her mouth.'I shall be back and I shall expect you to tell me all that you know!' Millicent said not sou
Alphas Christopher and Sylvester were having a meeting with the Chief and the council of elders, when a gamma rushed in with a shocking announcement!'My Alphas, Chief, Elders, we are under attack!'At once, everyone stood and the Alphas howled the battle call, to alert the other warriors who may not be aware of the attack. Then taking their weapons, they rushed out.'Who is the fool who dares to attack the Moon Ville pack?' Alpha Sylvester howled.'Who have we offended this time?' Alpha Christopher thought. 'Has Alpha Blake got wind of the fact that I have found out his secret and therefore decided to attack us before we attack him? 'Well, only one way to find out!' he said aloud as though in response to Alpha Sylvester's question.They rushed to the battle zone and there he was, Alpha Blake like Alpha Christopher had suspected.They had already started fighting the warriors, after getting in with Millicent's influence.'You can let us in, we are here to meet with the Alphas. There i
'Christopher! My love! Stay with me!' she said, smiling encouragingly, though her heart was aching terribly. 'What have I done?' were the words that kept screaming in her head.Christopher looked at her and nodded. 'My Luna!' he breathed, lifting his hand to touch her cheek.Millicent sniffed back the tears that seem to be choking her. All the same, a single one still escaped and slipped down her cheek into Christopher's hand where it still rested on her cheek and he wiped it from her cheek tenderly. 'I knew you would come back to me!''Of course, why wouldn't I? Nothing could keep me away from you!' she choked, sniffed and added, 'Why did you have to allow yourself get injured?''My brother would have suffered the hit if I had not saved him. It was my duty as the elder twin to protect him!'Millicent nodded. Christopher was so honourable but she wished he had not been hit. She looked at the spear protruding from his side and reached a decision. 'This is going to hurt but it is 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
