I could predict Alpha Jade's reason for taking over my training. I knew he suspected something. This was his way of studying me closely and it scared me to the core. I feel that I don't even know myself very well so how could I prevent anything that might create suspicion? I also felt that he detected my lies and was searching for the truth inside of me.
"You don't want me to be your trainer?" His tone waved of uncertainty and his eyes carried dissatisfaction. There was a bubble of grief in his demeanour and I felt awful. Deep down, I knew that his training would be the best because it drew us closer and helped me achieve my aim but I also couldn't help being frightened. Jade was wise and intelligent. He doesn't mince words and it hasn't been easy putting on this act in front of him. I'm sharing his room and he was going to be my trainer too, which meant I could never leave his side. But I also knew that he would be busy soon. His Supreme and Alpha duties couldn't be ignPlease let me know what you think and send me some gems too. Thanks
Isabella My mind was weaving with so many thoughts. How did he know me? Was he a spy? I swirled around to meet his gaze. It was one of resolve. "Prince Marcus sends his greetings," his confirmation was crisp, I went numb. I gritted my teeth, my body tense, my toes curling into the ground. "What did you say?" "Prince Marcus sends his greetings," he confirmed vividly, his mug was indifferent. I wondered how he did it but there was a facade around him that made his countenance unreadable. "I don't know what you are talking about," I fibbed. Maybe he was just testing me. "Don't pretend around me, Isabella. Prince Marcus was here himself but couldn't reach you because the walls of the packhouse forbid him. He told me to pass a message to you." I felt my muscles re
My first reaction was a stun before I quickly regained myself, telling him my location. "I'm coming to get you," his deep, hasty voice sounded again. I missed him but I was also afraid, especially after knowing that Prince Marcus had infiltrated his pack. I felt like a villain. "No, I will be in the packhouse shortly," I countered. I needed time to put myself together but Jade never took no for an answer and especially not from me. "Stay there, I'm coming to get you." It sounded more like a command. I didn't answer anymore and the mindlink disconnected. "The Alpha is back," Daciana announced. I wondered if she intercepted my mindlink and if that was even possible. "How did you know?" "It's been announced by the Beta. I think the Alpha likes you," she added. I should be flattered but I was scared. Prince Marcus had told me that Alpha Jade never let any woman close but I was sharing his room well with
Isabella He froze at my action. It was my first kiss and I didn't know what to do after that but I made sure my lips remained pressed to his soft one. I relaxed a bit, perhaps he wanted this as much as I did. His hands found my butt and he lifted me from the floor. I wrapped my slender legs around his waist as he used his right hand to support my back, holding me in place as he deepened the kiss. His tongue invaded my patted mouth, exploring every inch and corner of it. I massaged his long curly hair, touching his scalp. His arms wrapped tightly around me as I felt something hard poking me when he turned me around, slamming my back against the door. He was rough with his actions but I liked it. The fact that he didn't treat me as a kid. We broke from the kiss, catching our breath just as my lips found his again. The more I tasted the softness of it, the hungrier I got. His mouth was warm and moist, it sent unusual pleasures through me. He su
Supreme Alpha Jade After my mate fell asleep in my arms, I gently laid her on her side and sneaked out of the room. I needed fresh air. I joined the warriors on patrol for a while but recalling her nightmares without me, I hurried back. She was already tossing and turning and instantly calmed when I wrapped my arms around her, taking in her scent. Bella didn't have our scent yet. She was absorbed in the scent of her shampoo, which was calming. I couldn't sleep because I was disturbed. I couldn't answer her question because I didn't have an answer. 'What if you find your mate? Will you let her go?' The mate bond wasn't something to be told. It was supposed to be mutual so I wasn't supposed to tell her. She would know when the time comes but what would I do by then? I don't know when sleep swallowed me yet I woke up with her sleeping soundly in my arms. I took time to watch her sleeping form. It was the best feeling ever but whe
Jade I tried not to react. Not to show any emotion. It would be a weakness on my part if I showed too much concern. It would also arouse suspicion about who Bella was to me. I couldn't let anyone know that now. This was Isabella's first fight and I knew well enough she wasn't ready to face someone like Luna Crane. 'You need to relax,' I mind-linked her but no response came from her so I went closer to her. Before I could speak, I heard Duke's deadpanned voice, "No." Just as expected, Luna Crane wasn't going to give up. "You are afraid she will die in her first fight?" She flaunted herself before the warriors, earning a few cheers. I couldn't comprehend her intention but I knew one thing for sure that she either wanted to hurt Bella badly or cause her extreme embarrassment. Either way, I knew I could trust Duke to handle it. "No, the one being unfair over here is you. This is her first real fight. It's supposed to be among fellow trainees and not a warrior," D
Beta Duke I admired Jade from the moment I laid eyes on him even though his father was vicious. I tried to transfer the bitterness I felt towards his father to him but Jade made it impossible. With his upbringing, I never expected him to have a soft side but he did. I think he also loved me the same. It was like our souls were knit momentarily. We were both kids when he joined the Warriors. At eight, he went to war with his father and the pack warriors yet his performance was stupendous. When I began training at twelve, Jade helped me secretly. When I got punished, he would come around and help me with my task. Sometimes, we got caught and he got punished by his father but he never stopped. Since then, I decided that I would sacrifice my life for him. Jade wasn't what people thought he was. You only experience his ruthlessness if you find yourself on his wrong side. When I met his mate, I liked her at once but I knew Jade would reject her. He was stil
Isabella I couldn't believe everything that's happened today. Never had I imagined defeating Luna Crane when she put up the challenge. My initial thought was, I was going to die but looking at how she kept flaunting herself, I decided to face her. I had fought countless times with Jade during training and he was never soft on me. Even when I hit him, I felt my knuckles ache. Therefore, it was easier fighting with Luna Crane because her body wasn't as hard as Jade's when I hit her. My knuckles never hurt with every blow I sent her, which encouraged me to send more. At first, she landed a blow on my face and everything blurred but I recovered quickly. Quicker than I ever did when I fought with Jade. I didn't know whether I was beginning to exhibit mage powers and it scared me. If that happens, I will be discovered quickly. I panicked as I walked with Blevine back to the packhouse. However, Luna Crane's words kept ringing in my head. 'Don't thi
Jade Worry, as strong as death, tormented my mind and soul. I have never been so nervous in my entire life. This wasn't just about the mate bond but I knew I was in love with my mate. I couldn't stand living without her. Today, I broke protocols for her. I made the pack know that I cared about her and it didn't disturb me. After what she told me about Luna Crane's mockery, it got me thinking. If she got satisfied with the thought that I didn't love her, she might grow out of love for me but I didn't want that. At first, I thought she was going to be my liability but training with her gave me the realization that I didn't deserve her. Her learning rate has been faster than anyone I had ever trained except Duke and she was determined. I wish I knew where she came from. Perhaps it was a reason why she was smarter. Maybe she already knew a lot of things she couldn't remember which was why she quickly adapted. But I knew quite well that thi
Jade The two hours Bella spent in that castle was the most nervous two hours of my life. So many fearful questions wove through my psyche. The silent what-ifs and whatnots. When Damien cast the spell, he seemed to be in a trance so I couldn't find out how things were going in there. Duke was just as worried as I was but tried to comfort me. I knew how much he cared for Isabella and almost died because of her so I knew that whatever he felt was genuine. My eyes were glued to my wristwatch as my nervousness turned to despair with every minute that passed without her showing up. I wanted so much to speak with Damien but startling him was tantamount to breaking the spell bond between him and Bella so I kept my eyes fixed on the entrance. Suddenly, he breathed deeply and I knew the link was broken. The two hours were up but Isabella hadn't returned. Has anything happened to her? My attempt to mindlink didn't connect, I broke out in cold sweats, opening the d
IsabellaFinally, I was able to convince Jade to let me go but I felt a missing part of me when he left for training. I wanted to go with him but he refused. He insisted that he needed to do this alone. After he left, I looked back at the state of the pack and began giving out instructions. I didn't think they would obey me at first but they all did. The only surprise we could give Jade was to ensure that the pack was safe and clean in his absence. Duke led the team of warriors to reset the traps that had been destroyed by the psycho Prince Marcus.We changed into working gears and began working tirelessly, lifting trees, burning debris and clearing the pack. While we cleaned the packhouse and mourned Aligiza, the warriors cleaned the strong city. Pack members cleaned their houses, which made it easier. When we were done, we moved to the streets, clearing everywhere before removing fallen trees in the forest. What we couldn't remove was the dirt on the walls of the bui
JadeThe greatest opportunity presented itself. War was a destroyer. I thought it was going to be hard to exert my revenge but Prince Marcus made it easier on me. For as long as none of my pack members was involved, I was void of all fears. My greatest concern was that of losing any of my pack members. For every war that broke out, I worried that someone was going to lose their life.Since I was going to meet him alone, it would settle everything. He just made the biggest, craziest mistake of his life. I will train harder and face him in three days as he proposed. Aligiza's death and that of my warriors, would not be in vain. After accepting the challenge, I couldn't miss the fearful look in my mate's eyes, it made me apprehensive.She trembled when I got close to her. She almost killed Prince Marcus before. We even thought he was dead so what could make her so afraid of him? I was greatly disturbed when she said, "Jade, please don't do it. Don't fight the
Prince MarcusSacrifice was what brought me this far. I gave up my all to gain what I have. Isabella missed by a millimetre. She had no idea that I survived. I saw the horror in her eyes when she saw me today. I could guess the question she kept asking herself was how I survived.When I attacked the Supreme Alpha's pack, I was amazed that he wasn't leading the war himself but everyone he entrusted was up to the task. It was as if he was leading himself. I watched them for a while before joining and was amazed at how Damien handled the vampires. His skills had greatly improved.I looked around for Isabella, knowing she had also received a lot of training, I intended to distract the Supreme Alpha and kidnap her but it didn't work out as planned. Aside from her capabilities, he didn't allow her to join the war, which showed just how much he cared for her. For someone who opportuned on every strength he got, that was a remarkable decision.U
Isabella When Jade told me about the moon goddess, I was filled with profoundness. She was real. Cassandra told me it was just a myth but I didn't believe her. Was it that she didn't know or she was hiding something? I wish I could see the moon goddess too but it seemed she only revealed herself to Jade and most importantly, because of his position. I was glad he confided in me and shared this secret with me. Our night was ruined but it was worth it since it concerned the safety of our pack. We couldn't spend the night in the cabin as planned, and Blevine needed me to try out my dress for the coronation, I couldn't wait. When we got to the packhouse, Blevine and I made our way to her room with Tatiana. The little girl was excited to be around us. She kept jumping all around as I watched her with delight. A designer was waiting for us with sample dresses to choose from. I chose the one that caught my attention. A baby blue royal dress. After we got all t
Jade"Jade, what's wrong," Isabella's voice pulled me from my trance. The moon goddess was no longer there and I knew Isabella hadn't seen her. I didn't want to hide anything from her anymore and for the moon goddess being my guide, it was essential that she knew, but I couldn't tell her now.I kissed Isabella on the forehead. "Bella, I'm checking something around the lake. I will be right back."She gave me a suspicious glare and I knew that she didn't believe me. "Did something happen?" Her curiosity peaked, as she stared caringly at me."No, don't worry. Please stay here. I will be back before you know it," I said and pulled on my trousers. I grabbed my shirt and wore it as I strode out of the door. Before I opened the door, I turned around, my eyes meeting Isabella's flushed face. I smiled apologetically and said, "I'll make it up to you, I promise."She forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes. I knew she was disappointed but for the moon god
JadeI have a great weakness for losses. The pain penetrated so deep, I was unable to endure it, not even for a second. It was a fact. The loss of my warriors affected me so bad but the difference this time was having someone to comfort me and share in my grief. Someone who loved me as much as I loved her. It made so much difference.Her presence was enough to take away the pain I felt. If Isabella wasn't here, I would have mourned their death for weeks unending. She wasn't a weakness but a great strength. The strength to overcome every difficulty thrown at me. Having her by my side, I don't feel so excited being a supreme Alpha. I intend to wipe out the title of supremacy after her coronation.But there was something more. I don't even want to be an Alpha. One secret Isabella doesn't know is that aside from the fact that white wolves find childbearing difficult, the process weakens them. Their wolves are not meant to reproduce, which is why they are scarce. It'
'Our mate is the best,' Rudina giggled with excitement. I knew she would because she wanted to be let out even though she couldn't indulge much in physical activities. I was equally excited to have fun without having to think about wars. I was going to be coronated as the Luna of the Moonstar pack tomorrow and I didn't know how it was going to be.I've never been part of any ceremony and neither have I ever attended one. Despite everything, I know that Blevine would have my back. I walked leisurely towards the forest, hand in hand with Jade. Everyone we met on the way was excited, bowing slowly to us. Jade had allowed everyone to celebrate as they wanted. It was dependent on each and everyone to decide on what to do. You could host a mini party at home or go to the club but whatever it was, it was supposed to make one happy.This was what we chose to do. The air of freedom surrounding us as we walked around was something I had never felt before. It was wonderful and I
Jade's expression was grim when we made our way to the forecourt of the packhouse. I felt invisible by the crowd waiting in the courtyard. My little hands were quite lost inside Jade's big ones, as he held me protectively. I could feel his heart aching. The loss had embittered him. In a time like this, he exhumed a cold aura that shut me out from asking him any questions.Duke had gone to open the underground safe house, letting out the women and children. The smiles on their faces were priceless. I detangled my hands from Jades' when a little body hugged me from the back. I turned around to face her."How are you, Tatiana?" I was instantly filled with excitement at the sight of the little girl. She was radiant and bloomed with smiles."I'm fine, Auntie Isabella. Where is Papa?" She asked excitedly.I met her with the same level of excitement. "Your papa is helping to take care of some injured people," I said to her but she seemed rather placid."W
