When we got to the throne room, the elders were already seated and deliberating but our entrance caused silence to descend on the group and I could see some nod in approval.'A good day to you, Chief, Elders of council', Millicent greeted curtsying.They nodded in acknowledgment.'Please, be seated the both of you. The matter we are here to deliberate on has lingered', the Chief began. 'We cannot afford to waste anymore time on it'.Millicent sat on the chair closest to her and I sat on my armchair.'Alright, Chief and Elders, we are here now, you can go ahead and tell us what you deemed it necessary to bring to our awareness!' I said without preambles.'Thank you, Alpha Sylvester', he said. 'Millcent, Alpha Sylvester introduced you to us as his mate and his soon to be Luna', he paused to take in air. 'It's been awhile now and we want to know if both of you have decided to make it official!''I do not think that will be possible!' Millicent said.'I hope you do not mean that,' an el
Third Person POVMillicent went into the Royal morgue and tried everything that came to mind, including transfusing the mate bond into Christopher's body but nothing seemed to be working, that was the end of the first day.On the second day, she became desperate. She cut herself and allowed her blood to drop into his mouth, but still nothing happened.She had heard that the tears of a fated mate could do wonders, she shed it in drums but Christopher was as stiff as before. As the second day drew to an end, she became inconsolable and started praying to the moon goddess.'Moon Goddess, I had promised not to believe in you ever again if anything should happen to Christopher but now, I have come to you for assistance. I implore you, bring Christopher back to me. I am nothing without him. He is my everything. You mated me to him after all. You gave us this incredible Mate Bond and now I can bear to be with no other, not even his brother!'She sobbed harder when she remembered that in a f
Everyone looked at the stranger as she walked up to Alpha Sylvester.'You look so much like him but you are not he. Take me to see him, immediately. Time is of the essence!'Daniel, Alpha Sylvester's Beta came between Sylvester and the stranger, barring her way. 'Watch your speech. He is the Alpha!' Sylvester raised his hands to stop Daniel and flipped his hand to the side as a sign for Daniel to step away.'Why are you here?' Sylvester asked, then answered his own question. 'Right! To see Christopher, but why? How did you know him?''All these questions can come later. I have already been delayed as I crossed the border and I need to get to him immediately before it becomes too late to do anything!.'Christopher is already dead, I must tell you. What reason could you possibly have to see him?' Millicent asked, her curiosity aroused.Wendy looked at her and smiled. 'I knew he was dead even before his men at the borders revealed it to me. I would have been here sooner had I not travel
'Where am I?' Christopher asked, looking around at the faces gathered round him. 'And who am I?'This second question was what threw everyone. Did he just ask the question they heard him ask?They looked at the witch who was just getting up to her feet from her faint.'What have you done?' Alpha Sylvester asked. 'He does not know who he is!''I forgot to warn you that the side effect was amnesia', Wendy said. 'It is going to be for a short while though and then he will recover his memory fully'.'How long is this 'amnesia', supposed to last?' Sylvester asked.'It depends on each individual. For some people it takes a fortnight, some a month, others a year, you will just have to be patient and see how long he takes to recover his memory fully'.'Is there an antidote for this 'amnesia'? Chief asked. 'You know, like a potion?''No. But if he has a reason for living. If there's something he desired so much before dying, then his subconscious will drive him to recover his memory faster fo
Millicent's POVThings did not get any better in terms of my relationship with Christopher. He treated me like a polite stranger would another and it was slowly killing me. Especially when he would smile sweetly at Wendy and give some little affectionate touches.Once my eyes made contact with Sylvester and I could see the pity in his eyes. It was just too much, I ran out of the room to my own and slammed the door.Samantha was on my heels. 'Millicent pull yourself together! If your mate bond is as strong as you claimed, he will soon remember you and come crawling back into your arms and your bed!' she said, hoping to bring a smile to my lips but I was not so sure anymore.'Wendy is weaving her magic around him and he seem to want to be with only her. I can't wait to see her gone from the Moon Ville Pack and out of our lives permanently!' I exclaimed.'I wish I could say that she is just helping him recover', Samantha said slowly. 'but I have seen the way she looks at him and from the
I got to the home of Raph and Mildred and I found Raph with a young beautiful girl.'Millicent, you're here!' he said, hugging me. 'I didn't think you'd come this soon after receiving the letter!''Nothing could keep me away. Where is Mildred?' I asked, looking into the inner room.'She is out in the fields picking fruits. I'm surprised you did not see her on your way here', Raph said.'Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?' I asked.'Of course I was going to as soon as you settled down', Raph said happily. 'This is Minnie, my fated mate'.'You don't say!' I shouted happily, hugging him and the beautiful girl by his side, one hand on each of their shoulders. They both looked so happy and I was happy for them.'Raph, where is mum Cara?' I asked, surprised that she was not there. 'She is practicing her profession. You know she is a mid - wife?' he asked.I nodded.'Well, she went to deliver a female of her pup', he said. 'If all goes well and I pray it does, she should be bac
After telling Millicent what she was going to do to secure Christopher from the witch, she continued, 'It is guaranteed to work, I assure you. But in the impossible event that it does not, I shall introduce you to a greater witch whose potions and powers have never ceased to amaze me. Sashi will neutralize any spell she may have woven round Alpha Christopher', she emphasized. 'But you shall try the first suggestion before we go for plan B'.'Thank you mum Cara. You are a life saver. I shall do all that you have asked me to do', I said. 'But revealing to me, my pregnancy, isn't the only thing you want to tell me, is it?' I asked curiously. 'You sounded as though there was more especially concerning my birth pack'.'Yes', she said, her eyes shinning as she laughed happily. 'You are not going to believe this but your brother is alive!''Mum Cara', I snapped, not finding it funny at all. 'You don't joke with things like that!''I am not joking, my dear girl. Your brother is alive and you
Third Person POV A couple of months later, Alpha Christopher started regaining his memory. It started at the dinning table. He had started eating with the immediate family at the dinning, rather than have the food brought into his room as has been done by Wendy since he was given a second chance to life!'Millicent!' he said, he had been looking at her and she at him. She smiled at him, flashing her even white teeth. 'when did you come back?' he asked rising to go to her.Wendy was shocked and pulled him back down on his seat. 'Sit, Alpha Christopher, you don't need to exert yourself too much!' she said, glaring at Millicent.'My love, I knew you'd come back to me!' he said, then holding his head, he grimaced. 'Is Sylvester okay?''What is it Christopher?' Millicent said, abandoning her meal, she flew to him, putting her arms around him.'Christopher dude, are YOU okay?' Alpha Sylvester asked emphatically.'This is what I was afraid of', Wendy said. 'I hope this doesn't hamper his p
'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
