Unknown Pov. Everything they had accomplished came flashing. from the time they first met, to the times they had to stay away from each other. a sad smile crept on Seranda’s face at the thought of their daughter. Chimere will have to stay alone, she will have to move on to be the very best leader the people could ever ask for. Seranda could only watch her mate wallow in pain and heartache as his life slipped away from his grip. She painfully crawled towards him, taking his hands in hers. “I am here” was all she mouthed before another mouthful of blood came coughing its way out. her life was gradually falling away and there was nothing she could do. Laurana lay on the side of Ciranda waiting for death to come, her mate was dead and Seranda knew just how painful it felt because she was watching hers severely right before her with no words. Mckenny couldn't open his bloodshot eyes, the pain was too much to handle. every part of him was threatened like melting lava, he could feel hi
Unknown Pov. It's been a week since the massive death that swept across the land of Limfieya. Friends and loved ones came from far and near to mourn with them, but like everything, it came to an end. Chimere sits in the prince’s room opposite hers gently rocking the baby to sleep. He has been nothing but a good boy. She felt he understood the situation. Chimere sings for him as he drifts off to sleep. Evera, the newly appointed lady in waiting for Chimere and caretaker of the baby walks in calmly trying hard not to wake the sleeping baby. “What?” Chimere asked not to take her eyes off the baby. “the elders…. they want to see you” Evera announced, squatting down and taking the baby off her mistress’s hands. “I will take care of him,” she assures Chimere, who places a soft kiss on his forehead before walking off. The castle has not been the same without everyone. the rooms were suddenly so empty for her liking, her parent's room was locked and she dared not go in. Chimere walks to
I was born barely 5 minutes after my brother which paved the way for the start of my misfortune, not only was I the outcast of the family, but I was also named the unwanted. We look nothing like each other, similar in name yet different in meaning. Ciranda Copper, heir to the throne of the northern shifters clan, a blessing from the moon goddess, the prince obeyed and cherished by all, and I Seranda the unwanted, named after the gods of death souls Zeranda, a creature kept in place to demonstrate pain and mystery, a representative of everything negative, which makes me stand out amidst everyone, for my stroke of bad luck and mistreatment from my family and clan. All my parents have ever wanted was a son, an heir to their precious throne, a man to carry on with their dirty dealings. Not like it bordered me, have long gotten used to being the child who would have been left for death if the choice was theirs to make. It's been 17 long years of torture, beatings, and maltreatment What el
“It's no news Ciranda's, death is something I wish and pray for all the time, soon the moon goddess will bless me and my request will be granted. I am nothing but I will be something in the afterlife.” he looked at me with anger in his eyes. His friends were not shocked at my altering. I am a princess treated worse than a pauper, what was there to hope for? I can't leave without them killing me, so praying for death is my next best alternative. I watched from outside as my brother failed every question asked by his teacher, he has always been the dumb sibling, always partying, smoking around with friends, and going shopping for luxurious cars or car racing. Studying has never been part of his schedule which has earned him the name “‘big baby” for he is still in lower grade and all his friends and mates are over in college. It was amusing seeing him prove to be nothing but their lapdog. I am more intelligent than him, I have taken lessons all my life from the windows and creeps of the
I stared at the man standing before me with fear written all over me, I could feel sweat breaking through my skin, my body scrolling at our closeness to each other, he paid no attention to his sister, his eyes digging deep into my soul as if searching for the truth. I knew nothing of my family’s business, yes I was aware of their schedule and guests it has something to do with the missing female wolves but I had nothing tangible to back that theory of mine. He walks closer to me taking his hands away from the little girl, she stares at me with a look more like “‘he is your problem now”’ and runs away Before I could utter another word, I heard the thundering sound of the door closing and engulfing just me and this man. What was I to say to him, that I was innocent? Who will believe me? How can I believe when I am a copper, no one outside my clan knew of me, yes they knew of Ciranda, my father had him tack along to every meeting he attended, every deal shared, and every friendship pack
The look in his eyes said a thousand words, yet his lips hadn't moved even once. I grew up knowing our eyes were our greatest asset. I have known I was hated for the eyes never betrayed me, the look on the face of my parents, my own twin was enough to let me know I did not belong with them. I could not help but play around on the furniture before returning to my human form. It felt good to be in control for the first time in my life. I have never felt so loved and cared for. He gave me yet another shirt of his to wear. It was bigger than the other, his smell was all over me and surprisingly I loved it. “Seranda, come have a sit” he pats the empty space next to him. The fear, the pain, and the thought of him killing all went away like they had never been there. I stare at him deep in the eyes willfully getting lost in them. ‘’I am not very good with kinds of stuff, but I can be of help. I want them down on their knees begging for their life like I have done for the past 18 years. I wa
I could not bear to listen more, I had to leave, I had to take matters into my own hands. If Ciranda wants me, then he shall have me, I have got to experience joy, love, and acceptance now if it means the end then I humbly take it. I rush to the bedroom and go through the items bought by Emery earlier during the day, a demi skirt maid from the skin, strap sandals a demi shirt, and a fur coat. I chose him because he is the last person I want to have his smell all over me when I take my last breath. I walk out to the stable and a white horse catches my eyes, his eyes tempting and his temperament daring. “‘May I have this one” the guard stares at me for a moment before gently bowing. ‘’Greetings my lady, Temperest is for the lord” I walked over, I was happy he respected me, this would be the last memories I would have. The horse bowed to me, in respect, it hailed me, respected me, and recognized its master's scent on me. It bent down allowing me easy access. ‘’Tell Kenny, I have gone t
I could feel I hadn't slept for a long time as my body shivered under the hard surface my skin was subjected to. I turned to look around and all I could see was a black roofing covered in shades of red and scratches from wild beast. The room carried a strong stench of wolves, pain lingered in the air. How heartless have they been? My brain pounded, I couldn't feel my legs it felt as if it was no longer there, and my body was too limb to move. ‘’What have you done Cirenda?”’ I cried out hard my brother did not look or behave anything like himself. Yes, he has not been the best of brothers but I knew he was far from this, he was far from all these evil and inhuman deeds, this was supposed to be a part of me, a flesh of mine, how hard has he fallen? I tried reaching out but my mind couldn't make a connection. I could barely move my lips as dry as they appeared eager and desperate for the touch of water. The quiet room which carried so many screams of pain and agony soon became rather no

Unknown Pov. Chimere stood by the railing, her eyes not peeling off from the direction of her parents. The elders kept bringing up ideas but she could not bring herself to stay focused with them. Time was ticking rather slowly and no matter how many times she looked, the soldiers were still on standby which was a thing of relief but also the worst possible anxiety. Chimere has tried every other way to get out to the hold of the Elders to no avail. Elder Morgan was rather joyous over her decision to ride on and meet her parents but Elder Fern wasn't in support. He couldn't bring himself to watch the old heir to the throne ride on to her possible death. “We can't go after them,” elder Fern kept repeating. The castle was on lockdown. The death of his daughter had been all he needed to know what path to be on. Morgan has always been selfish and deep down he could see the friend in him was long gone and lost.“Let the princess go, her presence could change so much for us,” Elder Morga
Unknown pov. Mckenny and Greggory led the men while Seranda was stationed behind them. Mckenny couldn't afford to have his mate take the first arrow. Cirenda stood alone, waiting on them. This was weird. “Caution,” Mckenny’s voice echoes. Ciranda has always been the type to play sneaky behind their backs and he was not going to walk into a well-thought-out plan. Mckenny took the lead with Seranda while Greg waited with their men. Mckenny took his human form holding tight to the hands of his mate. “Let me talk to him... I don't know what I am hoping for but I pray to the goddess he listens” Mckenny nodded, giving her hand a little squeak. “Whatever outcome, you will always have me” The couple walks up closer to the man standing in black like a funeral processor. his eyes carried no sense of feeling, he was rather so fragile than the last time they had met, Seranda could not bring herself to not worry. Cirenda had his head on the ground casually kicking rocks like they were kids a
Unknown Pov. Laurana couldn't bring herself to sleep, not when the night was old and weary. The cold breeze blows through her skin, making her body shiver in discomfort. Tonight was different from every other night, she could feel the rumbling danger suspended on the horizon, and she could feel the pain held from within. “Can you hear me?” she asked, staring at the dazzling moon, her eyes filled with unspoken words and emotions. He was close yet so far. her hands graze over her baby bump. “I do not know what the future holds for us.. but I am certain you will live a great life and be well loved.” her silent prayers for the wellbeing of her baby and his big cousin went straight into the listening ears of the smiling moon. The first wolwl of the morning came from a distance but it did not bring peace to her soul. Laurana watched the dark give way to light on her balcony over a glass of water and some sweets. “Laura..” a voice came from outside. she could tell it was the Queen even
Unknown Pov. Laurana held on tight to her baby bump. She would rather be banished than have to tell who the father of her baby was. “I can” Laurana speaks up, her voice barely audible. Chimere could feel her pain, her fears were the same. “What right do they have to ask such questions huh? I am the mother and only I decide who gets to know about the lineage of my baby and who not to tell. don't overstep your boundary” “We do not take that away from you Laurana” Elder Morgan replied. “For the safety of the land and everyone, is it only right that you tell us who the father of your baby is? we can't have another abomination waiting to happen when it could have been avoided before birth?” Laurana couldn't hold back her laugh. her hand caressing her baby protectively. This was out of love, she would do anything to have him again and even if she is on her deathbed she would change nothing of their encounters. “an abomination?” Laurana scoffs. “My child who has not seen the world is
Unknown Pov. It's been a day since they returned on their short trip to Central Crown Pack, Chimere knocks on the door of Laurana panic written all over her face. There was not only a riot outside the castle but everyone was shouting and demanding Nana's very surprising head. Laurana sighs as the omega opens the door letting in a panicked Chimere. “Nana” her voice broke into a sob. Laurana had long expected this day would come but never had she thought it would be this soon. “come here” Laurana beacons to her which she obliged without hesitation. “Look outside” In front of the view of Laurana’s window, the crowd was ten times more massive than what she had seen. Chimere glances over to the omega and then her nana. She could not understand why Larauna was so calm despite all the odds against her. “what will happen now?” Chimere asks. “I don't know, but I am certain you will be a good big sister to someone,” Laurana smiles, placing Chimera's hand over her baby bump. Chimere could
Unknown Pov.The girls went around, taking turns helping to fill up the cars with supplies. Seranda and Emery just watched them interact without saying a word to each other. The hurt burning in Iris' eyes couldn't go unnoticed while Chimere wore a beautiful smile ready to start her day on a joyful note.“done” Chimere dusted her hands smiling at herself. She felt satisfied with the work of her hands. “girls..” Seranda called making Iris and Chimere simultaneously turn towards her.“I want you two to cooperate and help the children. we all expect you back before dust. we have to head home before the break of dawn the coming day and I won't have you sleeping all through the way Chimere” Iris turns to Chimere who just smiles.“Come” Seranda opens her hands, making Chimere run into them without hesitation.“I know you will do just fine. take this as your first and official visit to the Pack as princess of Limfieya. get to know the people and interact with them both as princesses and as fr
Unknown Pov.Iris walks up to her father pulling out a seat for herself with her eyes never leaving his. “Hey,” Alpha Mark says to the surprise of his daughter who just stares at him, not sure how to react to his gentle gesture.“I'm sorry,” he said, almost throwing Iris off her seat. She had not been expecting him to be out straight with her, not to talk of him apologizing.“Daddy” Iris' voice comes out like a whisper. she could not hold back her tears as they came streaming down her face crowding her vision.“I thought you didn't love me anymore,” she says trying hard to wipe away her tears with the back of her palms with a snob running its way down her nostrils.“I will never stop loving you Iris, how can I stop loving my daughter?” Iris sniffs.“But mother doesn't love me. She loves Chimere more. I know she would have been happy if I were the one to have a deaf wolf and not Chimere and even the baby loves her and not me” Iris laments.Deep down she was aware she wanted no baby sib
