Amanda's POVSo many days had gone by, the outburst from the other day had not gone down totally. I was still sad about the fact that Timothy and Sarah were present on that day, they were just kids, I never wanted them to witness such a horrible scene. And the way Gama Daniel was irritated at the sight of my kids was nothing any mother wants to watch. It wasn't their fault that they were born through me.How could he hate innocent kids like that?I didn't want my kids to suffer the same fate as I did. I was not trying to force them down other people's throats, of course, I just wanted them to live a normal life without discrimination.We visited Gama's home again. Before we went there, I was worried, not that I was afraid of the couple, I was just no longer available for that kind of bullying and discrimination. I was already used to kindness and fair treatment in the real human world, I was used to sincere smiles and a warm welcome.Rick had persuaded me not to think too much about i
Amanda's POVReya stood up for me against Judy that day. After realizing my status, she went away with her crew, disappointed.Reya had been helpful, she was always early to get the kids to school and bring them after closing. It was a great relief, I had enough time to focus on business. She was like an angel sent to me.My kids were ready for school and I was ready to go to the store too. Reya arrived to pick them up at school, but I noticed that Timothy was sad about something, it was written all over him.“You're okay baby?” I asked him, adjusting his shirt.“Yes, mum. I'm fine” he responded.I did not want to delay them by asking further questions, I pecked them each and sent them off with Reya.I set out for my store too. It was another work day. Sales have been turning out well so far. I was driving joy from my work too. Although it felt like when I started from the beginning when I was in the real world. But it doesn't matter. The same way I built my brand and myself to the pi
Amanda's POVIn the real human world, there is something called destiny. It is the belief that everything that happens throughout a person's existence has been predestined. If that ideology was true, it must be the reason why my life was the way it was.I was not only born scentless, I was hated in every pack I went to. If I was a wolf with scent, maybe my mate would have recognized me, maybe I would not have to go away, maybe my life would have been a lot easier.But I could not question the blessing of the moon goddess.It just breaks my heart every time my kids had to be humiliated all because they were born through a scentless mother. They were innocent, it was not their fault. How could I make these people understand it?Those were the thoughts traveling around my mind. I felt guilty for causing them trouble as their mother, I was supposed to be their protector, but I was failing.After getting my work bag from the store, we locked up and went back home. I was done for the day, I
Amanda's POVIt is comforting when you truly connect with someone and everything is just well. The same pattern of events keeps reoccurring, everyone being hostile toward me and my kids. In all honesty, it was a heartbroken moment for me as a mother, but Rick never failed to give me strength through his love for me and all of his efforts to protein.He promised to make his parents stop harassing me, and he did fulfill that promise. He had promised to make sure that what happened at the kids school never repeated itself again. I had no reason to doubt him, he was a man of his words. I was at ease knowing that Rick would resolve everything.Rick instructed me to take the day off from the store and rest at home. I complied, I was tired anyway. It was a long boring day. I was home alone doing nothing, Rick had gone to work, and the kids were in school too.The ticktock of the clock finally made it to the school closing hour, then I stood up to prepare something that they could eat when th
Jackson's POVThe pressure to complete the rejection ceremony, and to proceed with my engagement to Dolcie kept coming from the Elders council of the wolfpack. After my warning to her she still went ahead to pressure the elders and they came after me too.I knew my decision to lay low and not respond to their notice would only infuriate them the more, but I needed private time alone to solve all the issues at hand. Moreso, I need a break from Dolcie's drama and I was not going to negotiate that with anyone. Not even the Elders.Once again, I was summoned by the elders council. All I ever heard them talk about was the engagement. I was tired of hearing about it, it was now annoying.“I might refuse to show up next time you invite me over, if you continue with this noise about engaging Dolcie” I said angrily.“You will soon understand why we are doing this. But first, you have to follow our order. You are an Alpha, why are you acting weak?”“Look, I understand everything. You're only th
Amanda's POVJudy's request felt like a challenge to me, and I was ready to win. I would prove to her and everyone that she was wrong and that my designs are not crap. It is not that I needed her approval, but I knew the implications of such comments on a brand.Couple with the fact that Jackson would be coming to the event.I was a bit worried and confused though. If Rick finds out, he would probably feel some way about it.And if the kids find out too, they might insist that they want to see their father. I was thrown into a dilemma.I ordered materials immediately and the latest designing equipment.It took hours and even two days to come up with an idea, I wanted to make an outstanding style. She was one woman with a beautiful body, she had the body of a model. If she was in the real world, fashion designers would have scouted her long ago, she would probably be a supermodel by now. At least it was better than how she was wasting away here.I sketched the style ideas I had , they
Jackson's POVNo matter where one goes, either in the real human world or here in the wolves world, it was always difficult to deal with others. Everyone was complicated in one way or the other. If I had refused to attend the hunting party, I would be offending Alpha Thor, it was not as if I was afraid of him, he was among the least of the people who could bother me. But, it was unnecessary to make enemies with someone over what could have been avoided.However, finding out that Amanda lives with Rick in the same pack where I had been invited to, was such a perfect avenue for me to get close to her and bring her back with me hopefully.It was impossible for me to continue to reject Alpha Thor's invitation after getting hold of the information.The day was finally here, I didn't want to make too much of my presence, I had requested just one guard. I was flushed with joy and anticipation. It was like when a man is going to see his bride for the first time. But a pang of disappointment a
Amanda's POVThis was life. You will continue to move from one pain to another. Who would have thought that my pain this time around would be from those who have done nothing but dote on me since the day we met?All men are the same.I have always heard people saying something like that when I was in the real human world. I thought about it as just a saying. I never knew that it was true.There I was, my body laying partially against the door, and my man having a hot session on top of another woman. I was in daze for what seemed like an infinite seconds, my jaw dropped, disappointment hovering around me and pain washed over me too.Rick, who left me standing outside to come and service his mate, stood up, coming towards me in shock. He never expected me to come to that room. I stood up too and adjusted myself.“It would be good if you don't come closer” I warned with a stern voice.Thinking back to when he left me outside, I was not wrong when I felt like he did not want to come with
Jackson's POVIt has never been heard that any prisoner escaped in my wolfpack. This was new and I never expected it to happen. The guards must have been careless, otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.I was furious at the last bone on my body.“What did I tell you this morning?”“I'm sorry, Alpha. I will make sure we find him” the chief guard begged.“You have half an hour to bring him before me, or you give up your own life in his place” I warned.I left my office immediately and drove back home. All the important people in my life were there, I wanted to make sure they were safe and alright.“He must be around somewhere in the pack. He can't be far away. Send all the guards around the pack, I don't care if you have to send all thousands of them out, you must bring Rick before me, dead or alive” I said to the chief guard finally before driving off.I picked my phone to call Amanda. “Hi, are you okay?” I asked anxiously.“Yes, honey. We are fine. I just found out that Rick got out
Amanda's POVReya quickly became the sister and friend I never have. She was a confidant and a true friend. I feel so comfortable around her, unlike in the past when I found it difficult to make friends with others. Once I informed her about the new development and that I needed her assistant, she quickly decided to move to our own wolfpack to live so she can work with me. She was not married yet, that was what made it easy for her to decide.“What about the business you wanted to start, Reya?” I said to her on the phone.“It's never too late to do anything. Look, I can sell the store and add the money to the funds I had, and then invest it in some other things, I could even make so much profit without running an actual business” she explained.“Is that so? You have thought about this thoroughly, okay?”“You don't have to worry about anything. I have relatives that are investment experts, they will guide me through and you will how much money I can make”“Ok. If you say so. You don't
Jackson's POVPeople don't take things seriously until you have to use forceful means. After my meeting with the elders, I had given them a day to expel Rick, and take the position of Alpha from both him and Dolcie's father. But the day was running out and I have not heard anything from them. My patients had limits. The only reason why I was lenient with them was because I have a wife and kids now. Whatever I do, I must put their safety into consideration too. I don't want them to be affected in the future. But that doesn't mean I would continue to tolerate those who continuously tried to hurt Amanda, my woman.“By tomorrow morning, if there is no positive result from those elders, take those rats to the centre of the pack and execute them before everyone, let them die a shameful death,” I said to the chief guard.“We will do as you wish, Alpha. Rick looked like he is hatching an escape plan, that is why we have to do something about them soon”“And you are telling me? What is your jo
Amanda's POVSuccess is not just about big achievements, it is also the accomplishment of the things that seem insignificant, yet they make a notable impact in our lives. All of these things were not grand events, but when I looked at how much we have done in a short time, I was moved. Knowing that I had a support system was even a bigger joy for me. We all seek to be independent, but in the end, the truth is we all need each other to grow. And even when we have attained this growth, we still need each somehow. For instance, I need the baker's bread for breakfast, the baker needs the service of his staff for production, likewise, someone else needs my dresses. We all need each other.After lunch we rested for an hour before we continued with other things. As agreed before Jackson went for a meeting, we decided to go to the location together. It was as if I was dreaming.“Are you that excited?” Jackson asked and chuckled.“Uh huh! This means a lot to me, for real. Even when I was a fam
Amanda's POVSo much could happen in a day and it would even beat things you spent years accomplishing. I was able to get my things from Rick's wolfpack, I met Reya again, I got a massive order, and Jackson helped with a location to build my store and even a temporary place to use for my client's dresses. All of this made my day a perfect one.After laying down to sleep as Jackson suggested, I couldn't sleep for a while, my mind kept wandering around, until I adjusted my body to Jackson's body and laid on his chest. He chuckled when he saw that.“You should have mentioned that you need me to fall asleep”“You don't have to make fun of me”“Ok. Sleep” he reached to my forehead with a kiss”As I laid on his chest and the rhythm of our heartbeat was almost in sync, I fell asleep soon. I guess he did too.I was overwhelmed with excitement and anticipation. I felt like a child going to a new school on the first day. What would it look like? I know that as Luna, everyone would want to patro
Amanda's POVFor every thousand shifts in one's life, is one significant change. A change to a new direction, a change to new life, a step into a new experience. I have long adjusted to these shifts in my life. I have realized that everytime something major happens in my life, there will be a change too. Everything changes for good. Maybe because I had chosen to see only the food side of every situation, no matter the huddles that come along with it.I went from being a miserable teenage girl to finding a skill that turned to a career and then to falling in love with who I thought was my savior and friend. When I thought I had reached my home of peaceful peace, I realized I was wrong, the universe still had so much in store for me. Rick turned out to be my grave and then I had to move on to the next phase of my life again. Jackson, the father of my pups, the man who was never in the picture again, I didn't even have him in my memory again until he showed up in my fashion store in the
Jackson's POVSatisfaction comes from little things that we do for ourselves or for the people around us. As long as it is from the heart. It is really not so difficult to attain satisfaction, one day at a time. These days, I found peace in doing everything I did.I just knew I wasn't happy with the fact that Amanda was bored at home. I felt like I was responsible for that. I brought her here, meanwhile she was used to being busy with her work. I was overwhelmed and carried away with the joy of their presence without considering how she might be feeling when I'm busy and she was left alone at home. I had no idea she would love to begin her fashion business again.But I was glad I asked her and when she mentioned it, I was able to help her with everything. I was going to support her with everything within my power and I was beginning to set goals on her behalf. She was a renowned fashion designer in the real human world, now that she was in the wolf pack, It had now become my goal to m
Amanda's POV.What was giving me so much joy in the past days was the fact that I now have my family completely. Sitting on the dining table together, taking a walk together and all other things. Everyday became brighter than the previous day. It was as if we were living a fairytale story.After Jackson was done making lunch, we sat at the dining room waiting for him while he dished the meal.Timothy and Sarah had little time to spend with us, after having lunch, they were to take a thirty minute nap before their training master would come for them.Immediately we got here, Jackson hired a personal trainer for them to help them control their power and how to make use of their claws too.“Do you enjoy the meal?”“Are you asking again? It's so nice”“Really?”“Of course. You don't believe in yourself again?”“I do. I just wanted to know Her Majesty thinks”I laughed as I joined him to clear the table.“Can I prepare something for you too?”“Are you trying to pay me back”“A yes or no wo
Being idle could make one feel sick, no matter your past success and accomplishment, when you're idle, you may even begin to feel empty, like you are wasting away. Before the feeling of unfulfillment overwhelms me, I decided to force myself to sleep until my kids or Jackson return.Everywhere was dead quiet, the guards were at the door too.I ended up sleeping off.It was a slow day and it looked like it would never end.I heard a familiar voice responding to greetings and I was slowly awakened. I sat up when I realized Jackson was back home. I could hear his footsteps approaching, so I stood up to meet him halfway.“You are back!” I said with excitement as he opened the door.“Yes ma'am! How are you?” He asked me before wrapping me up with his big arms.“I'm alright” I said, sounding unsure.When we both sat down on the couch across the bed, he was looking at me like he was a doctor examining his patient.“What is that?” I asked him.“Nothing. I just think that I shouldn't have leave
