Isabella
I tried but I couldn't sleep after the nightmare. Blevine and Duke had left after I assured them I was fine but I wasn't. This was different. It felt like a message was being conveyed through the terror. it was telling me something just as the nightmares I had about the Supreme Alpha. It was so real I could feel the heat of the fire from the two people thrown into it. I missed Cassandra, wishing she was here to give me clarity. I couldn't see the face of the one giving the command but he was terrible, an epitome of evil. However, I couldn't help the disappointment on the Alpha's face when I couldn't tell him the dream. What if it was something that would make him realize I was a Mage without powers? I couldn't risk it.It was when Blevine came to my room with some clothes and a cup of coffee that I realized I had been awake for two hours but I could still get some sleep. "It's not yet morning, why the rush?" I was quite lucid seeingIsabella He lifted me from the ground, dusting the dirt off my clothes. I was still in awe and didn't know what to say. The distance from his training group to where I was was very far. Much further than the distance between Beta Duke and me. How was he able to reach here in time to save me from hitting the floor? I contemplated whether I should ask him but rather said, "thank you." "You've done well enough for the first day. You should take the rest of the day off to rest your muscles," he smiled faintly. I couldn't understand him. A few hours ago, he looked like a vicious storm, roaring like thunder. Now, he was gentle and soft as a lake. Besides, how did he know about my performance? Was he watching me all this while? I stared at Beta Duke. After all, he was my trainer. "I think so too. Your performance was great," he acknowledged. I was elated and satisfied that my hard work paid off eventually but I was still scared for the next training. I'm so scar
Isabella I was taken aback. His gaze held mine and I couldn't lower it. I seemed to be bound to some kind of spell. I didn't know what to do and neither could I control my fears. If I was caught, it would mean betrayal and that would only mean death. That was Prince Marcus's warning. I have seen both sides of the Alpha and it scared me to the bone. "Jade, I'm going to shower," Beta Duke's voice interrupted the fearful moment. I lowered my gaze instantly but could still feel his heated gaze on me the whole time. "Me too." Alpha Jade responded to him. His eyes were still glued on me. "You should wait in my office." He raised himself from the table and headed upstairs after Beta Duke. I felt a lump in my throat. My tongue felt like it was swollen and too heavy, I broke out in a cold sweat while I made my way to his office behind the packhouse. Some of the warriors I had seen on the training park were guarding his door but they instantly t
Supreme Alpha Jade It's an uneasy feeling but it won't go away. Isabella was hiding something. It was as if she couldn't trust me enough to let it out. Well, I don't trust her too but that's just because she makes it hard to be trusted. Is she my weakness? Yes and a great one at that. As soon as she got to the training park in Blevine's leggings and shirt, Navajo got excited. I was too but training times were very serious. I tried my best to ignore her presence only to realize all my trainees were just gawking at her beauty. I couldn't penalize them because I hadn't introduced her. Navajo got aggressive when I made Duke take her further away from us but even I wasn't comfortable with her being far from me. While they trained, I stole glances her way. Call me a stalker but without her wolf and not knowing who she was, she still needed my protection. I could feel her punches as light as a feather when Duke was training her so I told him to give her some physica
Isabella I was petrified seeing him all bloody, it awoke my nightmare. What could have triggered a fight at a time like this? I thought the war was over but seeing him in this state gave me shivers. After spending hours with Blevine at the pack hospital, I got to understand the nature of the werewolves. Some of them could heal on their own, depending on the seriousness of the injury but it didn't stop me from the fear of seeing the Alpha covered in blood. I wanted to ask what happened but I didn't have the confidence. I was glad when Blevine explained after he left that vampires had attacked them at the border. It was satisfying to know that they were all defeated. However, I also realized I had to be abreast with the Alpha. I needed to get closer to him. Still the thought of losing my virginity to someone I wouldn't be married to ached me a little. I had to do this for my kingdom. I need to know him more before my plan could be attained.
Isabella Nosiness didn't allow me to wait. I got off the bed and ambled close to the shower room. The sounds stopped abruptly and I stood soldered on my feet. I wanted to return to the bed when I didn't hear the sound of water anymore but I was so pressed I needed to pee. I overlooked what drove me to the shower room and strode to the door. Being so pressed to painful fervour, I needed to relieve myself immediately. "You're awake," a familiar deep voice rang behind me. I swirled around, contemplating on whether or not to use his bathroom. I wasn't sure if there was someone there. "Are you alright?" He asked, seeing I hadn't responded. His brows were knitted in worry. "Yes. I need to pee." A wave of embarrassment hovered over me as I turned the knob. "So use the bathroom here." He said before the door opened. I didn't wait for a second and rushed in to relieve myself but most importantly, to see if there was somebody t
Isabella Alpha Jade took the driver seat and since Blevine and Duke snuggled to each other in the back seat of the Porsche Cayenne, I had no choice but to sit beside him. The smile never left his face throughout the journey. It felt like he wasn't carrying the whole world with him at this time. The Moon Star Pack was beautiful. It didn't seem to be affected by the war at all. The buildings were all similar, built like estate houses of one storey. The ambience was serene with lots of greenery that one could not help falling in love with. It made my heart bitter when I recalled the state in which I saw my kingdom. Even the plantations were destroyed, I wondered how my people were surviving. I also realized that I didn't know anything about Prince Marcus's vision - whether or not he was going to be a good King. The scenery made the one hour journey a ten minute one. Still, I couldn't tear my eyes off the amenities of the Moon Star Pack. Everywhere, the units had
Isabella "Use this side of the closet," Alpha Jade began rearranging things in his closet as he spoke. He was so gentle, and warmth had returned to his eyes. I wanted to tell him that he didn't have to because there was still enough space for me without him rearranging his clothes but seeing how neatly and professionally his clothes were arranged, I couldn't do the same. Somehow, I enjoyed the freedom of doing things by myself in contrast to the castle but it was only embarrassing when I didn't know how to do something I so much wanted to do. I wondered how long it would take for Prince Marcus to rescue me but I had also forgotten that something was missing from our perfectly hatched plan. How do I get the information to Prince Marcus when the deed was done? "Thank you," were the only two words that came out of my mouth. My heart was thumping with the hope that he would soon leave the room to ease the tension cruising through me but the fact couldn't be erased that I
Isabella "Luna Crane, watch your tongue," Beta Duke roared, his hand balled into a fist as he hit the dining table, so hard, it shook violently. He was even scarier than the Alpha when he was angry. Luna Crane cowered in fear. Once again, the bubbling atmosphere was ruined because the Alpha had also turned cold. What I realised was, the Alpha spoke less when he was upset. Luna Crane moved in unsteady steps close to the dining table. "I'm sorry, Beta Duke. It's just that you never conveyed my meeting requests to the Alpha." Even with her submission, she still maintained a tough fearless gaze when she spoke. "Luna Crane, didn't we speak a few hours ago?" Alpha Jade's voice was cold, just as his gaze, it made me uneasy. Anytime I saw him this way, the nightmares kept playing in my mind. "Yes Alpha but you didn't take action immediately which is unlike you." I wanted to cover my face in embarrassment for Luna Crane. I don't know what her p
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
