Christopher's POV Everything seemed so unreal. I looked around and saw a lot of strange faces around me. Alot of the faces seemed vaguely familiar but I couldn't be sure.'Where am I?' I asked. or maybe the question that was more important was, 'Who am I?'A female, came and hugged me, asking me if I was okay. I looked at her and though there was something about her, something I just couldn't place, though, I didn't know her.There was a healer that looked vaguely familiar. She stood from the floor, asking to be left to stay with me till I was fully recovered.All they were saying was sounding very strange to me. I didn't know why I was feeling groggy, and there was a metallic taste in my mouth.I was taken into a large room with a large bed and everyone was asked not to disturb me.I looked at myself in the mirror but could not recall who I was or how I got here. I felt threatened by the strange faces but strangely, unafraid. A male came in and looking at him, I felt like I was star
My feeling of jealousy persisted and I didn't want to face the rest of the family with that feeling. So, I stayed in my room for two days till I could stay away from Millicent no longer.I just couldn't explain it, but I was beginning to like Millicent quite a lot and I didn't want her to get married to my brother. But it looked like they were engaged.Ironically, Wendy who had been taking care of me didn't make me feel the way that Millicent did. But why was Millicent insistent on getting close to me? Not that I didn't like her touch, it felt like the touch of a healer and a lover.'Who really is Millicent?' I asked Wendy when we were in my room. Wendy looked at me oddly. 'Have you been thinking about her then?' she asked and I got the impression she was not too pleased about it.'Well, yes!' I said. 'I have to since she is supposed to get married to my brother!' Then I blurted, 'I feel so drawn to her, like she is supposed to be marrying me and not Sylvester!''Please stop saying t
Third Person POV It turned out that Alpha Sylvester was not happy about the turn of events. How come that Alpha Christopher who had seemed to be regaining his memories a couple of days ago, could no longer recall alot of things?His Beta came back with the doctor he had asked him to bring and he decided to check on Christopher.'What is the meaning of this?' Wendy shouted. 'Does it mean that you do not trusty healing powers anymore?''Not that!' Alpha Sylvester said, trying to be civil because of his brother. 'But it is surprising that his memory has retrogressed instead of progressing! Maybe we should try another form of treatment!''Is that accusation I hear in your tone?' she asked.'And what if it?' Millicent asked.'Are you questioning me?' Alpha Sylvester asked. 'You must realise that as long as you remain here, I am the Alpha and must be addressed and treated as such!''All I am saying is, it isn't fair, how you are treating me', Wendy said in a broken voice. 'Where was the do
Christopher's POVAfter being examined by the doctor, I lay down to rest my aching head. I stood and went out for some fresh air, then found myself all of a sudden, in an open field, and was running after a female whom I loved dearly. It felt like my heart was going to be broken if she left me, but funny enough, I could not see her face clearly.'Please say with me', I pleaded.'I don't love you', she said. 'I only wanted to know how good you were in bed and now that I do, I'm off to test waters. I shall chose the best lover of the lot!'Her words tore my heart to shreds and was going to make me feel weak but as she tried to leave, I pulled her back into my arms, she melted into me, and our lips met.It felt like I had touched a naked electric cable. I could not help myself but kept kissing her, I had never felt so that aroused kissing anyone in my life. Just kissing her was going to make me come, when she pushed me away and ran off.'My love, my love ', I called, filled with frustra
As I lay on the bed, wondering what I was going to do. I did not want to hurt Sylvester now that I have known the truth behind his actions against my parents, I also could not be unfair to him by accepting to be with him when my heart belongs to another. Why was fate treating me so shabbily? Would it not have been better if Sylvester had married Cathania and I echoed Christopher's Luna? It would have been far simpler that way. But life is never as simple and straight forward as that. Else, my parents would not now be history for a crime they never committed!If Cathania had been alive, I would have maneuvered their marriage and made Sylvester agree to it but she just had to die and leave me in this dilemma!I thought of Christopher and the witch that was taking him away from me and I cried silently. I felt so lonely. I tried again to get through to Christopher through mind link. I knew he could not hear me due to the spell that witch kept using on him but I will not stop trying.'Chr
When I got to the throne house of the Moonlight pack, I was led to the reception room where Alpha Sylvester was addressing Luna Selina Blake. He nodded in response to my mouthed greeting as others bowed in respect to me.'Selina, you are fortunate, because Millicent here, the Luna of the Moon Ville Pack decided that we forgive your husband his wrong and reinstate your family on the throne!' he said looking at me and I smiled my consent. 'I had wanted to add it to my territory but I have to obey her because she means a lot to me and of course to the whole of the Moon Ville Pack!' Then looking at me, he asked, 'Luna, do you have anything to add?' I nodded.'Your son will become the Alpha once he comes of age but any rebellious attitude' from you will spell doom for you all because you shall all lose what is supposed to be your inheritance!' I said.After the meeting, and some documents signed, Sylvester insisted we went back home but I still had not achieved the main aim for which I ha
Third Person POV It was almost dusk when Millicent got back to the Moon Ville Pack. She was beyond exhausted and wanted only to have a quick shower, then a quick bite and collapse on her bed.When they got to the coven of Lilibeth, the witch, Mum Cara had taken her to, Lilibeth was not around and someone advised them to come back in a couple of weeks since that was when Lilibeth would come back.While Millicent was gone, Wendy had been busy. She had brought out her monitoring mirror and seen Christopher meet with her. She had been shocked at first thinking that they were going to mate but had been relieved when Christopher couldn't remember mating with Millicent and hence told Millicent, she couldn't be pregnant with his pups.'That fool, Millicent, is spoiling my months of hardwork' she thought. 'She must be thought a lesson before she causes Christopher to regain his memories completely and go back to her while living me in the cold!'Whenever Christopher goes out jogging, Wendy go
'Wendy', Christopher called, getting up and wondering how long he had been standing at the door. Did she hear everything ? 'You're back!'Yes', she replied looking around suspiciously. 'How come you're back from your jog this early and what is the family gathering all about?'Christopher decided she had heard nothing. 'Well, as the Alpha, I was asking my brother to take better care of his fiancee and stop foisting her on me. Therefore, I've made my decision that I'll not accept her as my mate' he said. 'That's the decision you heard me speak about but of what consequence is it to you?''Just checking that you are all not plotting a coup against me', she said laughing merrily.'Welcome. Did you find the herbs?' he asked, changing the subject, expertly.'Wendy', Millicent called harshly and Christopher was sure she was going to commit a blunder. 'Maybe, you should stay home and stop picking these herbs for I can not see it's effect on Christopher. Your treatment is not working anymore.
'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
