ALPHA LEO'S POVThe mating ball had almost begun but I refused to leave my room. I had asked for food from the confines of my room. I was not ready to make a show after my last performance with Beatrice.Seven and Mandy had come a couple of times to check on me and give me an update on the progress of the mating ball. I was not interested but I was supportive. They seemed to want me to know all the nitty gritties of the day ahead."Father, you have to come out and see," Seven said in excitement."I will see everything when I come out for the ball" I said unconvincingly."This year I single handedly came up with a theme and everything I did without help" he said clapping for himself."You had help," Mandy said."Which help?" Seven asked, laughing."Dorcas and the man power plus the people you bullied around while you stood and gave out orders" Mandy pointed out with a smile.They were headed to Mandy's room when they decided to come past my room. They noticed I had not been to dinner a
LUNA BEATRICE'S POVThe back of the person that was speaking to Seven stood out for me. It looked so familiar that I just couldn't shake off having seen it before.Then it hit me, it was the mystery man at Deborah's. What did he want here? Why was he speaking to my son? Was he new in town? Questions ran through my mind.When he turned around and looked in my direction, I almost screamed in disbelief. Breath was taken out of my nostrils and I almost gave in and fainted.The boy was a splitting image of Elisha and he was comfortably speaking to Seven. If he was who I thought he was then he could not be acquainted with Seven.Deborah had assured me that I had nothing to worry about when I saw her.She had said it had been a misunderstanding. Did Elisha have a son? I asked myself looking at them laughing at who knows what.They were so engrossed in a conversation and it bothered me. He could not speak or make friends with Seven. I was unsettled watching them drink and be merry. I could not
ALPHA LEO'S POVBeatrice barely sat down and everyone was wondering why she was up and about. She was having a great time being the center of attention from her revealing dress. Then she saw a guy with Seven and the tables turned.What surprised me was that she acted like she knew the boy and his past and he would corrupt Seven had she allowed them to be friends.Why was she now against him making friends with this mystery boy? I asked myself."Your wife sure knows how to fill up a room" commented an elder sarcastically."Her beauty allows her to, unlike other people's wives" I said, throwing back the shade from where it came from.He looked at me and clicked his tongue while gulping down his drink in one go. I was not going to be disrespected by an elder because of his title or age. I thought to myself.She was up and down and at some point she even had a small fight with Seven. She tried to stop him from interacting with a certain young man who was interacting with Seven.She made su
LUNA BEATRICE'S POVI had hit the ground running and headed for Deborah's hut, I had to find her so she could tell me who the hell Amo was.She had to tell me why he was after me when she had said I had nothing to worry about.Hell, I was worried.What did he know about me? Did he have more information on my secrets? I needed to know and she was going to tell me even if it meant I ripped her throat off.I ran so fast I felt my paws hurt. I wanted this Amo character gone and I didn't want him spared. I wanted him no closer to Seven.The thought of him around Seven made me cringe.As I approached and came closer to Deborah's hut I heard voices , familiar voices, I moved closer and made out one to be Deborah and the other was the mystery man. What is she doing with him again?I asked myself as I listened in. I had found a place and watched by the window.Despite speaking to him like they knew each other, she looked scared and shaken."You had one simple task tonight, to get me the hair of th
MANDY'S POVSeven had been untouchable since the night of the mating ball. He was talking about a certain mystery lady he had the privilege to be acquainted with. I had not had a chance to meet her because she did not return to him after their night of passion.Seven said she had disappeared without a trace.Maybe she was not the one for Seven I thought. I had been busy trying to get my mother to let me see my father but she has refused with every chance I tried.I was becoming suspicious of the whole situation.My mother was not one to be trusted hence my reason for being unsettled. I also remembered not once in my life seeing her and father share a bedroom. She for as long as I had known she had her own room and she allowed no one to step foot in it except for Seven.She had made it very clear to me by beating me to a pulp when she found me in there with Seven that I was not wanted in there. How was it now that she suddenly resided in our father's bedroom? It wasn't adding up.I had
LUNA BEATRICE'S POVLeo passed out and had not come around yet. He was not dead but I could not explain how I took him out by just scratching him.The taste of his blood was still in my mouth.I could not help but want more of his blood.I craved blood and I contemplated killing Leo but I resorted to keeping him alive.I had plans for him.I needed his blood for a much bigger purpose than my thirst. Mandy had however been a real pain.She drew attention to me by being a real pest.She had used every opportunity to come knocking at the door despite my strict instructions to not be disturbed.The thought of her on the other side of the door angered me. I looked at Leo on the bed and he seemed to be recovering. His fever had gone down and he had opened his eyes once or twice and drank water. That was a good sign, I thought.I looked over to him and he was awake. He looked at me with a disoriented look. He scanned the room as if trying to see how he got into it. I stood and did not move an i
MANDY'S POVI stood at the door and my feet could not carry me, my eyes became watery, I heard a buzzing sound in my ears, I put my hands over my ears to unhear everything that had been said. I wished I had never followed the voices when I had them.I had been in the wallway contemplating on going to my father's room when I heard the high pitched voice of Seven coming from my mother's room. They were having a heated argument and all I wanted to do was get Seven out of there."You ungrateful little shit" I heard her voice. "All my life I have protected you, made sure no harm comes to you, but today you deliberately choose to walk into a trap and yet you are being warned" she sounded genuine for once in her life.It was as if she knew danger was following Seven and he didn't see it. She had even resorted to beating him to knock some sense to him but from where I stood Seven was adamant on following his heart and doing what pleases his soul.Curiosity got the best of me and I moved clos
ALPHA LEO'S POVI had no idea what happened to me when I made love to Beatrice but I had not been myself since,I had been tired and anxious. I stayed in my room after I kicked her out and I had made the decision that I would stay there until I felt a lot like myself.I felt like she had drained me of all my energy and I was having flashbacks and visions of events I didn't remember ever coming across.I had headaches so severe I had blood coming out of my nose. I felt dizzy and it was like I was taken back in time.My temperature was not doing me any justice because I was excessively sweating and heating up. I thought maybe I had eaten something and I also thought maybe Beatrice had poisoned me.I could not put anything past that woman.Seven came to my room in panic saying he had accidentally let slip while speaking and having an argument with his mother that Mandy was not my biological daughter and she had heard them and ran off, he wanted us to go looking for her.I sent the pack trac
Luna Beatrice's POVI knew sending that piece of shit of a snake out there was a waste.It came back with no news of Seven and I was so angry.I was not only angered by the snake but also by the Alpha's lapdog following me around to see the man who requested for me."The Alpha is still waiting," he said."And so" I said, making my way to the pack mansion garden."Do you want me to carry you?" he asked me with so much disrespect. "Please do not patronize me" I said, looking at this man before me."Tell him Seven has gone missing and I am trying to find him." I said truthfully."Why do we not know about this?" He asked, suddenly panic stricken."Because if it's not your Alpha sleeping, it is you worrying me about seeing the Alpha." I said, suddenly getting a brilliant idea to get Seven home. The Alpha's lap dog suddenly turned around and walked away without a word. I was standing by the garden when I saw pack trackers leave the mansion. I smiled to myself knowing what I had said had do
Amanda's POVMartha got me acquainted with my hidden power.I learnt to control the powers and I eventually after many mistakes learnt to use my powers. The night I was due to return home I dreamt of Seven choking and scratching for his neck. He looked like he hung on a tree by the cliff side.I woke up screaming and kicking because I was also out of breath.I could not breath. I was sweating and I sat in my own sweat and cried.Martha sat up with me."What is wrong?" She asked me "I just had a dream about Seven" I said sobbing."He, he,he is not OK" I said pointing out the reason for my tears."It's just a dream." She said, sounding like she had seen Seven."No, it's not, I know what I saw, he is not OK and I am leaving" I said standing from the mate where I was sleeping."You can't leave," she said, sounding a little annoyed."You can't keep me here!"I said dressing up and getting ready to leave."Little girl, little girl, I am warning you!"she said, grabbing me by my arm.I swung aro
LUNA BEATRICE'S POVI had searched for Seven to no avail.I sent out Amo in search for him.I had to deal with Leo.Seven was a grown man and running off was really not the wisest decision. He should have stayed and listened to me explain to him but he decided to run like a little girl. I was worried about Seven so badly because he could be whereever he was blowing my cover and telling whoever cared to listened of how he was betrayed. I needed him found and kept quiet.I had absolutely no faith in the stupid snake finding him but I had to delegate something to him to save myself from having too much work on my plate. I had to see how I neutralized Leo and moved on to my next pressing problem. I had to move fast and I had no time on my hand. I felt dizzy dealing and trying to think of a way out of my predicament. "Hoooww" I screamed to myself."How am I losing bloody grip on this situation?" I spoke to myself like a mad woman.The frustration was driving me crazy and making me extremely
The next planAMANDA'S POVI ran until I could not run anymore and sweat was dripping off my face. I was at the edge of the forest but still away from home. My paws hurt from all the running and I sat down to rest.The cold winter wind blew in my face and I shook like a leaf from the cold. I hid behind a tree to avoid the wind and to keep from getting cold. Where to from here I thought? Who do I call to?Is Martha still alive? The thoughts disturbed the peace I already did not have.I could not think of anything else so I started to cry thinking this was a curse and I didn't want to deal with it. I heard a sound coming from the woods. I stood up startled by it. I looked ahead as the sound continued. I began to panic because I did not know what to do. I moved back and I was still watching for where the sound was came from. My tears never left my eyes and I was wiping my eyes with the back of my hand to clear them.The sound kept getting closer and closer but nothing emerged until I ass
LUNA BEATRICE'S POVI sat waiting to hear from Amo but he did not return. I thought he had gone ahead and killed Mandy hopefully but my dreams were dashed when in slithered the slimy flat head python.I could tell by the look in its eyes that it had just failed to execute a simple task.Just a simple task that I had given Amo, he had gone and messed up everything and now it was clear to Martha and Mandy that I was on to them and I knew that they had finally met and Mandy knew the entire truth.It wasn't enough that I had a dead man whose head I had hanging as one of my accomplishments now back to life and tormenting me. His sister was out there to help him destroy the legacy I was trying to build.The snake on the other hand had just proved how useless it could be."She escaped," Amo said."What!, what do you mean she escaped?" I asked"I was tricked and that witch Martha helped her escape." Amo hung his flat useless head in disappointment."And you did absolutely nothing to make sure
MANDY'S POVI woke up to find myself in a cave. It was cold and the heaviness felt so deadly. The quietness sent shivers down my spine and I didn't want to imagine what could be lurking in the shadows.I stood up and began making my way toward what I thought was the exit.I walked but I could not find my way out. I kept going round in circles and still I was back in the same place all over again.I started to fear thinking I had lost my way and whoever put me here wanted me to suffer. It was unlikely that in a cave that looked straight I kept going round in circles. I tried to find my way out but to no avail. Panic set in.I called on Martha to find me but she too was out of sight. I walked around and ended in the same place I had begun and I stood near the tree near the same rock I met Martha.Something was wrong and I had no idea what but I knew my mind was being messed around with. I was panicking and afraid for my life.I knew Martha was close but why wasn't I able to find her. I c
LUNA BEATRICE'S POVDespite having the powers I had I returned to the pack house not particularly enthusiastic about the outcome of me being there. I knew by then that my spells were slightly shaky and I was in great danger of getting there and being called out for my ways.I arrived at the pack house just before dawn so I had a chance to hide in my room. I rushed there before anyone could see me. I hid in my room until noon then I made an appearance. I met Seven immediately as I walked out my room.Seven looked at me as if he had just seen a ghost. It was totally understandable that he would be shocked. I had left with the promise that I would get Leo help. I was however back with nothing to show for it." Mother this is a surprise, you really are back?" he said."I didn't say I was going forever" I responded, sounding annoyed."Woooooooooooo calm down, I was just asking" he said, lifting his hands up in surrender."How is your father" I quickly jumped and asked before Seven asked me
AMANDA'S POVThe shock that visited me was unbelievable. All this time I thought I lived a lie but the lie wasn't me but Seven.Seven was the child of the wizard. I stood and trembled at this revelation. I was so shocked I felt my knees wobble as I tried to comprehend and digest the news. It was not me but Seven.I almost felt relieved that I wasn't the one but I thought of how Seven would feel.I felt my heart drop to my feet at the realization. "Why did you show me this?" I asked her."There is a battle ahead that you need to fight."she said"To fight this battle you need to know what you are up against." She continued.I heard her speak but her words were not making sense as I looked on and could not believe who I was. I was indeed the child of my father but I was not exempted from the curse of being a hybrid.My world was torn into two and I seemed to fit well with both these sides.What I did not understand was the role of the woman before me. I knew about my family. Now I had to
MANDY'S POVFather has still not woken up after the whole sitting up and throwing up situation. I was really scared but the doctor assured me that he was getting better and his temperature had gone down.I still wanted to see him awake and speaking but I was told to be patient."Doctor, since you say his temperature has gone down,when can I expect that he will wake up?" I asked curiously."At this point I can't say I just need to watch him closely" he answered me.Seven walked in and settled next to me. He looked at our father and shook his head."I feel really bad for him, I have never seen him this sick my whole life" he said with a worried look on his face."He will be OK, we need to just have faith ,he is strong" I responded to him with a little positivity.I knew deep down the mysterious Dorcas had helped the process.I was ashamed but I thought desperate times called for desperate measures.I needed to have done something to save my father or he was going to die."He looks a whole
