I was surprised when Thorne asked that I become his girlfriend. I hadn't expected it to happen so fast. I thought about it and then I knew that I actually liked him and would like to date him but I had some doubts.I felt a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts that caused me to get confused. I knew I wanted this but I was unsure of how it would turn out to be. I was more comfortable without the title of a girlfriend, I just wanted to be the only woman in his life.“I hope I'm not getting rejected.” He said when I didn't reply immediately.I kissed his cheek and announced to him that I would be his girlfriend. “Yes.” I announced..It was indeed an amazing experience as he picked me up and went in circles, celebrating.“Thank you. Thank you.” He answered me with so much excitement. “Now that we are a thing, can I tell your family.”“I'll tell them.” I answered and we shared a kiss.” I have to go now.” I told him.“Why?”“My family was downstairs and they knew I brought food for you. They
The fact that my mother actually asked me out of her room made me suspicious of her.I had come all the way to Ice Crest park just to save her from Lucas who might be on his way right now and all she could was to find a way to push me away.When I was shutting her door so loud, I saw Laura. I think she was going to meet Anita at the garden.“What's the matter?” She asked, seeing how u shut the door.“Nothing, go and enjoy your little date with your new best friend.” I said to her and left, not minding how she felt. I went into my room.“Thank goddess, I have my own room.” I was still upset about that. Was I wrong by trying to help out? Shoukd I talk to Alpha-king Magnus? Would he help me? What would he do for us?I knew that my mother was scared to leave her comfort place to a place she's hasn't been to for the longest time. She didn't want to go back to that life but beyond that, I think there was something she wasn't telling me. That was what I had to find out if truly I wanted her
“Was she still upset with me? Is that why she wasn't here?” Many questions ran through my mind as usual at the welcome party.Then I saw her, she was dressed in a beautiful pink dress and didn't look as disturbed as she was some hours ago. I didn't know if I was to approach her or not, afterall she was the one that shut me out.I let her do her duty as Luna by greeting the guests and welcoming everyone. Everyone was settled in, finally. Leo introduced me to her husband.“This is Naomi.” She said.I smiled and offered him a handshake which he took.“The famous Naomi.” He responded, smiling.“Do you know me?” I asked, innocently.“Who doesn't? You're the lady who ran away from home for pleasure. Anyway, I just want to tell you that I love your courage. Not everyone would do that.”“Seriously?” I was amazed that he could say that to me while I gazed at him. “Nice to meet you, Dan.” I took back my hands afraid I would kick him. It was final. I didn't like Cleo's husband and I'm sure he d
“You can't barge into this place. My mother and I are having a discussion now that would save your life, so it's better you leave.”“I'm not going anywhere.” I insisted and went to get a seat for myself. “Naomi, you can't be here.” My mother started but u didn't let her finish before cutting her off.“Mum, I'm 21 years old. Don't treat me like a child anymore. I'm an adult and I know what I want for myself.” I paused and looked into space. “Like I said, I heard all you said so start explaining. Why are you both afraid of Lucas? I bet something happened years ago and that's why you both are uncomfortable about leaving his sorry ass.”“Naomi! Don't say such words before the King.”“Does it look like I'm joking? Does it?” I looked up to Alpha-king Magnus. “I'm sorry, my Lord but I'm not leaving until something is said to avoid all of this.”He stared for a few seconds and then went away silently. He stopped abruptly. “You were always a risk taker even when you were little, that was why
After the discussion with my mother, I went to find Laura. It was 5pm already and I felt tired even though I haven't done anything hectic for the day.I searched for Laura in her room but didn't find her. I wanted us to play a game since I had promised her. Then I heard the voice of the girls at the courthouse and went to meet them.“Naomi, where have you been?”“Catching up with my mum, what's up with you guys?” I asked, looking from one face to the other, I caught a glimpse of Thorne and I smiled, inwardly.Ever since our conversation in his room, I haven't had the time to properly think about it or tell Laura about it. I knew she would be ecstatic to hear that we were currently in a relationship.“Come on, sit down.” Anita urged me and I smiled at her as I did so.“We wanna play a game.” Kiara responded.“Seriously?” I sat down in anticipation.“Thorne will be my partner.” Kiara spoke too soon, not allowing us to say the type of game it was.Thorne was confused and was trying to b
“I understand you, perfectly well.” I told Cleo.The truth was that no matter what, I couldn't ever force my mother to come with me. I had decided that we would stay for some days so she could change her mind but staying a few days doesn't guarantee that she would change her mind.Cleo smiled at me.“I finally met your husband today, he's so fine.”“Oh.” Cleo blushed. “Thank you, I'm grateful.”“I hope everything is going well with you guys? I believe there's no issue.” I asked. I didn't like Dan and I felt so unsafe around him. I wanted to know if he was truly treating her well.“He's the best, actually.” Cleo answered, excitedly.“I'm so happy for you.” I told her.“Thanks dear.” She replied and stood up. “I wouldn't like to distract you and you're..” Cleo said, winking at me while pointing at Thorne. “I'll leave now.”I laughed and watched her go.“We leave tomorrow.” I muttered to myself. I was happy that I did my very best in trying to convince Mother to go with me.“Are you okay
It was still 5 am when I woke up. It was going to be a long journey ahead even though I didn't tell my family except my mother that I was leaving.Me leaving was sudden and something I must do. I took my bath quickly and went to knock on Laura's door, knowing she might actually oversleep and not remember we had a big day ahead of us.“Wake up, sleepy head.” I knocked at her door.“Oh. You're awake.” She said, letting me in. She didn't look like someone who woke up from sleep, in fact she must have been awake for the better part of the night.“Why are you so awake early?” I asked her quite surprised.“Well, you said we were leaving, didn't you? So I'm prepared. I just have to eat one last good meal before going.” She said.I laughed at her innocence. “I'm prepared already, I'm just waiting for morning sun. Why don't we go downstairs and make something to eat to celebrate our last day here.”Laura nodded and we walked together downstairs into the kitchen.“What would you love to eat? Le
“Mum, are you serious about this?” I turned to my mother. “I don't want you to feel pressured in any way. Not at all.”“Of course, I am. This is a decision that I should have made a long time ago. I am finally taking that courageous step.”“Isabella. This is not the time for sentiments. Your daughter is obviously out of context and instead of you calling her back, you prefer to watch her and even join her in this madness?”“Don't call this Madness.” My mother turned fiercely at him. “You can stay here like a scaredy cat while I finally take the step to my redemption.”“Luna Isabella, are you sure this is what you want to do?” Luna Rachel asked. Her face gave signs of worrying. She truly cared about our well being unlike the Alpha who cared about what his evil brother thought.“I know it's sudden and no one was expecting it but I can't keep living like a servant here, like a visitor when I have my own home, a place where I belong to.” She paused. “A place where I wouldn't beg for atten
As the celebration continued, I went over to thank Alpha-king Magnus for his help in helping us gather the warriors even though they didn't do as well as expected.Alpha Logan visited us and celebrated with us.“When we told Lucas that you didn't come into our pack, he didn't believe me and asked that I tell the truth or he'll burn my clan down. I told him everything even though he didn't let me say anything more. He only ran away,promising to deal with me.”“I'm grateful for sacrificing the happiness of your clans just because of me.”“I'm happy to help remember you helped me too.”When Laura's parents later arrived during the day, it was another beautiful encounter with them. They were so glad that we were able to stop Lucas especially when they had tried to do that for such a long time.The whole community was still celebrating when Emily came to have a word with me. “You really outdid yourself. Thank you for bringing peace back to this Park.”She was truly grateful to me and prom
We were all in our positions waiting for Lucas’ attempt to attack us. We were all in our hiding place, no one saying a word or talking in whispers. It was finally time for me to see what I did for my community.“Maybe we shouldn't have kept so quiet and hid like this.” Laura asked, she had been waiting beside me at the tower where we were watching for any sound in the Bush outside the community.“You think so?” I asked Laura. “Yes. Maybe he now knows that we know that he was coming for us.” Laura said. I was about to laugh but I remembered that if I did that I would blow our cover. We sat down there and waited some more. “Maybe they're not coming like he said.” I said while resting my back at the tower then I heard a sudden sound of a man crying with a loud voice. “They're here.” Suddenly, there was a loud sound of a trumpet. It was truly Lucas and his men as I viewed from where I was. “What exactly is going on?” I asked, unable to process what was happening. “It's Lucas and his
Thorne was standing right in front of me, then he approached me and then was about to kiss me but then I jumped up from the bed.It was a nightmare that I didn't want to have again. Laura had put me to sleep after I had told her about Thorne. It was early afternoon and I didn't know what exactly to do with the information about him.I had lots of questions in my mind.“Why was he back? What happened to him? Was he sent by Mascot and Lucas?I knew that the only way to get answers to my questions was to actually talk to Thorne and hear from him but I was too upset to do that. I had trusted him so much and he left me without a word. I left my room to go see how Damien and the warriors were working.“Guess what?” Laura was running towards me all excited.“What is it?”“Have you seen Alpha-king Magnus since we came back?”“Not yet. Any problems?”“Not really. Come on.” Laura literally dragged me down the same route with her. We kept running and running till we got downhill to the house she
I and Damien had decided to go back to Shadowcrest before it got too late to do anything. From the message that Alpha Logan sent to me, I believe that Lucas was already so angry since his own was now against him. I know he was trying to plan against my clan so we needed to gather the soilders we have and train them immediately.“I have sent messages to the Alpha's that we met and they already sent out their regards and then their solders to Shadowcrest so they can began to train.” Damiem said.“And what are you two plotting?” Laura asked as she joined us. She had been spending time with her parents and we didn't want to disturb her.“What are you doing here?”“I came to see you both. What are you both plotting?”“Nothing. We are just planning to go back to Shadowcrest.”“Without me?” Laura asked.“You'll be here with your parents. What did your dad say about supporting us in this fight?” I asked her expecting a positive result.“He's scared because of what happened in the past but he'
Lucas was literally after our life. As we ran into the Bush, we still didn't feel secure.“I think we should run for our dear lives now. Let's go back to Shadowcrest, I believe we are done for our quest.”“I think so too.”“No. One more pack and we'll go back to Shadowcrest and prepare for the war we are fighting.”“What do you think? Let's go find our horses where we left them, it'll simply make our journey as fast as it should.” Laura suggested still staring backwards checking for Lucas.We located the horses and rode on them as quickly as possible. It was too good to be true for me because I sat comfortably on the horse. Damien had told me that we were heading to Blissfall Park, the last on our list.“We don't have to bother about them welcoming us. I hear they are kind hearted people including their Alpha too.”We took Damien's words into consideration and rode into Blissful Park expecting great things from this park. We got there on time to meet the Alpha in a meeting with his el
This was my quest, mine alone and the only people allowed to go with me on this quest are people that are willing and not people who are ordered to go with me.I understood the fact that everyone had their life to live to the fullest so I had no fight to take away life from people just because I have the authority or opportunity to do so.I cleared my throat as I was about to speak. “I really appreciate thirsting with you both. It's really nice to know that you have people who really care, not just because they feel indebted but because that's who they are.” I paused, then continued. “When I started this quest, I was angry, upset and afraid. Angry and upset because I kept wondering why it had to be me, why me? Afraid because I didn't know how to face the challenges. I'm saying this because it's only going to make things worse on my side if you have to order or force who doesn't want to on me. That'll be very unfair.”“You don't have to overthink it. That's why they are warriors and wo
I couldn't decide if our meeting with the wizard was successful or not. Judging from everything he said about me and Laura being strong together, I already knew that there would be many challenges that would come up and we should be ready.“Why do I feel unsatisfied about this?” I wondered to myself and hoped Laura was satisfied with it. It wasn't showing facially that she was happy with how things turned out.I couldn't stop staring intently at Laura's face and keep wondering what was going on in her mind. She was way ahead of us. I was with the Aloha and Damien who was talking about how unclear the wizard was and how it would have been better if he was specific and clear with his words.“What do you think?” Damien asked Alpha Logan after making his point.“Well, all I can say is that he has been doing this for a long time, so he has a good reason for not making anything clear right now but all I can say is that everything would make sense when it was time for it to.” Alpha Logan exp
“Stop!!” It was an intense order from a voice in the hut.I suspected that the voice I heard was the one of the Wizard. His voice was like the earth on its own, trembling and confident at the same time.“Secrets of the olds are not for the faint hearted.” He said when we were now very close to his sanctuary. His words were like gentle breeze going through the veins. I was still trying to understand what he meant by what he had said earlier but I connected it to the reason why we were here, which was Laura's parents. As I walked slowly behind everyone, it seemed like my heart was afraid of who it was going to meet but he came to sight and I could see his face clearly now. He looked like any other normal person just that he was dressed shabbily. His clothes which were once red in color had turned to a shabby pink, with a rope tied to his waist. Immediately, he set his eyes on us, he started his incantation which sounded funny, then he burst out in laughter. His laughter was like lig
When it suddenly started raining, we all turned to each other in shock.“Do you believe me now when I say that he would really help you guys. Don't you believe me?” Aloha Logan asked no one in particular. It all looked like he said it was true but we were present.When we left the Palace, I was so sure that I wouldn't experience any rainfall but now the rain was falling like there was no tomorrow.“Oh, no. We'll be drained in the rain. My dress!” Laura exclaimed.“No. He won't let us walk under the rain.” Alpha Logan replied, confidently. He was speaking of the Wizard and was implying that the rain will stop when we get there. We were literally dancing in the carriage because of how bumpy and rough the road was.There were pathways and cracks on different parts of the road that caused us to dance as we rode in the carriage. I was still trying to understand everything the Alpha has been saying about this wizard but I still couldn't. “How is it that he is as powerful as you say but y
