A bit surprised, he asked, “Who is the person?”“It's Master Steve, sir.” The voice replied.“Oh.” He then turned to his daughter. “I guess he is here to see you.” She shook her head in disagreement, and pulled away from her dad.“Is he here to see Megan?” Megan's dad asked the messenger.“No, sir. He specifically asked to see you sir.” The messenger answered.“Really? That's unusual.” He muttered, and looked at Megan, who looked away immediately.“Alright, tell him to wait. I'll be with him shortly.” He said to the messenger at the door, who in turn, replied, and walked away.He then turned back to his daughter, hoping to continue their previous conversation, but her expression indicated to him that she wasn't ready to say anything at that moment.Understanding her expression, he asked, “you don't want to talk now, right?” And she nodded in agreement.He sighed. “That's fine. I'll be back shortly. Let me just find out what he is here for.”He got up and left the room, while Megan cu
“Megan!!!” Her father screamed in shock as he ducked to avoid the shattering glass.“Megan! What the hell is this? What has gotten over you?” He yelled at her, and rushed to Steve who was holding onto his shoulder in pain, and staring at the furious Megan in disbelief.“How could he suddenly choose her over me? Why would he do such a thing to me after everything we have been through all these years. After all that we've shared. How can he choose a complete stranger over me?” She cried angrily.“Wait, what?!” Her father stared at her in utter shock. “So this whole anger and violence is because he chose someone else over you?” He couldn't believe what he had just heard his daughter say.“Oh my goodness! I thought I raised you better. I can't believe this.” He said with so much disappointment.He turned to Steve who was still writhing in pain.“Are you okay?” He asked, and immediately Steve lifted his hands off his shoulder, Megan's father’s eyes widened in shock at what he saw.Steve's
“Dad, I don't know what is going on. He suddenly coughed out blood, and now it seems like he is not breathing.” She panicked, her voice shaking with fear. Tears, pouring out of her eyes.“Dad, I'm in trouble. I killed him.” She screamed in terror.The guards soon rushed into the room, and were taken aback. The sight before then wasn't something they had thought they would see.“Sir, we should take him to the Pack Hospital. He might have just slipped into unconsciousness.” One of the guards said in a rush.“Yes, yes. Let's take him to the hospital. Carry him gently, please.” He ordered them, and they got to work immediately.“Please get up, ma'am.” They said to Megan, who had Steve's head on her lap.Seeing that Megan didn't move, and was still holding on to Steve, her father yelled at her. “Get up Megan!” She jerked in fear, and got up.The guards then went ahead to carry Steve gently, and headed outside the house, while Megan and her dad followed closely behind them. They soon got to
“Veronica!!!” They all called out to her in unison, but she was too devastated to answer.“Wait up.” Scott yelled, but she still didn't answer him.Right when she was almost at the gate, Beta Richard hurried after her and grabbed her arm, holding her firmly, but even with that, she still refused to stay still and kept fighting to be let go.“What do you think you're doing? Where do you think you're going?” He asked her, still holding her firmly, stopping her from leaving on her own.“The hospital. Please let me go.” She replied, her voice breaking and her eyes welling up with tears.“You can't just go like that. You know what? Just calm down, and wait.” He said, his voice laced with concern.“No, I can't wait. I can't just stay calm, do nothing. I have to be there.” She tried to wriggle her hand free from his grasp, her face flushing with frustration and devastation.“You have to!” He snapped at her, his voice a little louder. “You barely know your way around here yet. How exactly do
The doctor was taken aback. For a moment, he looked confused. He didn't not understand what was going on. He wasn't sure of what part of his words threw Megan into such anguish and devastation.Unable to take the pain anymore, Megan got up and raced out of the hospital, wailing. Veronica was about to run after her, when Megan's dad stopped her.“Please leave her alone for now.” Councillor Maxwell said, and Veronica stepped aside.Trying to figure it all out, the doctor's brows furrowed as his eyes scanned the expression of all of them, and at that moment, it clicked!“Oh my goodness!” He exclaimed. “That's not what I meant, please. He is NOT dead!” He announced, almost screaming.Hearing the doctor's words, their expressions changed and they exchanged confused glances.“Are you being serious, doctor?” Councillor Maxwell asked him, with mixed feelings.He wasn't sure if the doctor said what he just said to try to make them feel a bit , or because he actually meant what he said.“Yes, I
“I was more shocked than the both of you are right now, when I heard it.” Councillor Maxwell said to the already shocked men.“No way. That's some serious issue there. I never expected to hear something like this. I mean, I've always known her to be quite a handful, but not to this extent. I didn't see this coming at all.” Beta Richard voiced his concerns.Beta Richard knew Megan to be someone who wasn't too laid back, but very outspoken. So if he was told that she did something else, he wouldn't be too surprised or bothered about it.But doing something as serious as almost leading her best friend to the brink of death, was something he didn't think she could do. Not in a million years did he imagine it could ever happen.“I just hope this doesn't get her into too much trouble with Alpha Marcus.” He soliloquized.“I hope so too.” The doctor muttered, while Megan's dad remained seated, not uttering any word.“I have to go now. I have other patients to attend to, but I'll let you know
Veronica could feel her heart beating fast in her chest, like it was threatening to fall out of her chest. Luckily for her, she still had her phone in her hand, and so she hurriedly turned her phone's flashlight on, and quickly approached the door.She gently twisted the door handle, but to her surprise it didn't open. It seemed like it was locked and stuck.“Oh no. I'm stuck here.” She began to panic.She grabbed the handle one more time, and forcefully began to pull it, but it just wouldn't budge.“Damn, I'm in big trouble.” She thought to herself, as she began to sweat.“Help! Help me! Is someone there? Is anybody out there? Please, I'm stuck in this place. Help me.” She screamed out loud.She paused for a short moment, and rested her ears on the door, hoping for a response from anyone outside the room.After waiting in silence for a few seconds, and hearing nothing from the other side of the door, she increased her voice, yelling louder, her voice, breaking as she kept screaming f
Right after Veronica’s revelation, Megan suddenly became quiet, and she stood frozen on a spot like a statue. She couldn't believe her ears. It was like her hearing was playing a quick one on her.Veronica, who still had her eyes closed, opened one eye slowly to see Megan's reaction to what she had just said. Seeing her reaction, she repeated, “Steve is alive. He is not dead.”As soon as Veronica repeated it, Megan snapped out of her silent zone. It was as if she needed to hear it for a second time before her mind came back from where it traveled to. She asked Veronica slowly, “Are you joking? Are you trying to mess with me?”“No, I'm not. I'm telling the truth. He is alive. The Doctor announced it to us right before I left and came searching for you.” Veronica answered her, explaining a bit of all that happened to Megan.“Oh my goodness!” Megan fell to her knees. “Thank you moon goddess.” She cried in gratitude, and Veronica bent to the ground too.”“I was worried sick about you. Yo
Seeing that it was indeed Trey, Veronica fearfully took a few steps backwards, away from him.Noticing her reaction, he knew that she possibly knew him, and so he got up from the bed.“Oh, you know me already?” He asked her, his tone, menacing.“What makes you think so?” Veronica asked him. Her heart, beating fast, not sure of what she should have said. “I don't know you.” She blurted out.“Oh really?” He asked mockingly, taking a step towards her.“Yes.” She lied, slowly retreating.He laughed hysterically. “Why does your expression say otherwise?” He queried her. “You don't look like you're seeing me for the first time.” He stated the obvious, making her more uncomfortable.“That's not true.” Veronica insisted, and he laughed again.“You’re saying something, but your actions say otherwise.” He said, “What do you mean?” She asked him and instead of responding, he took a couple of steps forward, making her take steps backwards instinctively.“There you go.” He said, proving his point
TWO WEEKS LATERAs the cock crowed, Veronica's eyes slowly opened, but she immediately shut her eyes because of the little ray of sunlight, shining through the slight opening in the curtains, right into her eyes.She adjusted her sleeping position, and remained still on her bed for a short moment. She opened her eyes again, and gently rubbed her heavy eyes. She checked the time and it was a few minutes before 7am.Her eyes drifted away from the clock to the ceiling and she kept staring at the ceiling as the thought of going back to sleep filled her mind.She yawned loudly, and stretched her body.“Today, I don't feel like doing anything. I just want to sleep in.” She said to herself, as she pulled her duvet over her head, and went back to sleep.Just a few minutes later, her phone chimed, but she was too tired to pick it up to check who she got a message from.She had stayed up late the previous night because she had a lot on her mind. She didn't know why but memories of her life in h
“We?” Scott questioned with a raised eyebrow.“Of course ‘we’, or wait a minute, were you guys actually planning to do this behind my back?” She asked with a frown.“Of course not. I didn't want any form of celebration. In fact, Steve just got to know fear minutes ago. Only Scott knew about it.” Veronica explained to Megan.“Hmmmmm.” Megan muttered, her tone noncommittal and her expression neutral. “Are you sure?” She asked.Before Veronica could answer, Steve spoke up in her defense. “Yes, everything she said is true. I just got to know about it a few minutes before you walked in.” He confirmed.Megan nodded, obviously not convinced.“I didn't expect anything else.” She muttered and Steve frowned.“What does that mean?” Steve asked, trying to understand the reason for her statement.“It's nothing.” She smiled, and looked away.“Anyway, what do you guys think we should do?” She asked, and Veronica sighed hopelessly.“Actually, like I said, I don't want to celebrate. I just want to be
It had now been a year since Veronica left her previous pack and had begun to live in the Fire Dawn pack. Although it had not really been a very smooth sail so far, especially with the different hiccups here and there during her early stay in the pack, she was thankful that she at least had a roof over her head, and a few friends who she loved dearly.Just as promised, Alpha Marcus provided a house for her, where she stayed alone and had visitors like Scott, who wouldn't leave until his parents forced him to go home with them sometimes, but other times, they would just leave him with her for days until he was ready to go back to them, because they were sure he was in good hands.And of course, Steve. He sure wouldn't go a day without coming to visit her no matter how busy he got. He would sometimes go on evening walks with her and Scott round the pack’s park.Even after he had finally expressed his feelings towards her and she had told him that she wasn't ready for a relationship, he
“No one is answering. What do we do, Megan?” Veronica cried out with a panicked voice.“I don't know. I'm confused. I know it's soundproof, but I didn't know it would be to this extent.” She voiced her worries. “At this rate no one will know we are here.” “What!” Veronica exclaimed in shock. “We have to get out of here.”“I know, but what do we do? We can't get out of here on our own.” Megan replied, almost giving up.“Then we have to do something.” Veronica said desperately.“What do we do?” Megan asked, confused.“Your phone. Is it here?” Veronica asked. “We can call your dad and tell him we're stuck here.” She suggested.“My phone is not here. I'm yet to collect it and my other gadgets from my dad. Although, he was ready to give them to me, but you know, I doubt that would even be possible anymore because of what happened.” Megan replied, sounding disappointed in herself.An idea suddenly popped in Veronica’s mind. “You know his number by heart, right?” She asked.“Yes, I do. Why
