Unknown Pov. The meeting went quickly and in no time Mckenny was out of the conference room in the company of Serana, who swiftly followed behind with a few files. “I have no meetings tomorrow as I would love to spend the day with my daughter. So all meetings should be canceled or moved to the next day " Seranda nods, walking out of the room to her desk. Once the door was perfectly closed behind her, Mckenny raised his hands to his chest not sure of what feelings he was having. “It's been so many years and for the very first time I am moved by a woman… and I know nothing of her” Mckenny goes about his day clearing as much work as possible in preparations for his big day with Chimere. Unlike the boss and his new secretary who was swamped with work others were sulking at their desk. “Hahaha. I thought someone said she had more connection with the boss than others, so why was she not the chosen one?” Rebecca turns to the annoying voice of Faline. It's been no secret they have been
Unknown Pov. It's been 9 years and the Central Crown pack has improved in every way. The night was dark but the stars lightened up the way as the pack members made a run through the pack. It was a full moon night and everyone was out waiting for the new shifters as they took position through the pack. “At the countdown of twelve, we begin” Beta Mark announced and the crowd cheered. The young lads went ahead while the oldest ones followed closely from behind making sure they were safe. “You're an Alpha” a voice, said from behind and Mark only nodded. “I am your alpha but to them, I am their beta. I still wait for the return of my best friend to take over” Emery laughs hysterically, staring at her husband. Mark extends his hand, taking the baby in her arms. “Come on Iris, you should let mommy have some rest” Iris whines but settles well in the arms of her father. “She is growing every day. I can't believe it's been 9 years, Iris is four the same age Chimere had been when they lef
Unknown Pov.”I have told you times without numbers that I do not know of her location. How long will you keep asking the same question, old man?” Cirenda yells angrily descending the stairs. He was still in his clothes last night. “I thought you said you would be back before nightfall?” Mathew Cooper asks his nephew who blows out a mouthful of smoke. “Oh cut me the crab all man…. I am no child you get to control. It isn't my fault you lose the only chance at becoming an alpha” Matthew Copper stands from his seat walking over to his nephew with a smug face. “It wasn't I who had to run from my land with my tail in between my legs” Cirenda folds his hands but drops them when he notices the slay smile on Mathews's face. “What do you want me to do? I have told you on countless occasions I do not know of the whereabouts of Laurana nor do I know where that bitch has kept my sister” Cirenda roared at the top of his lungs. Mathew only sighs watching his nephew angrily out his frustration.
Unknown Pov. Like always, the land of the blessed wolf was calm just like it has been for the past 9 years. Elder Fern walks into the castle murmuring angrily to himself. He has not been so humiliated in his life as he has been in the past 9 years all thanks to a child he had helped. “I will see to it that he travels to the land of no return” he swore hard but like always Greg has gotten the favor of the people by him. He walks into the castle storming his feet hard like an angry toddler. “Good day elder Fern” the omegas greeted but he paid no attention to their greetings. He was not happy with them neither was he happy with anyone. “I should be the one they listen to and not the other way around” he murmurs to himself as he takes the stairs. Like always, Greg was not only in meetings but in one with the other elders and they seem to have started in his absence. “What's the meaning of this Greg? I thought today was set aside to have the elders deliberate on matters of the land…”
Unknown Pov. Seranda woke up very early in the morning getting ready for work. A few items had been provided for her to use in her short stay with the Golden. Dancing from above the stairs is Chimere, not only is she happy for her outing with her father, but her excitement is too suspicious. “What's up with her Anan?” Thelma asked to carry a fish dish out of the kitchen with the help of Anan and a servant. “She is okay… but I don't trust that smile of hers” Anan protested watching Chimere descend the stairs taking her seat by Seranda. “Hi,” she greeted the young lady charmingly. “Hey, baby... How are you doing? Hope your night was a pleasant one?” Seranda asked and Chimere quickly nodded. From above the stairs, they all watched Mckenny Golden descend and join the table. “Good morning Daddy dearest… how was your night?” Mckenny drops the phone smiling brightly at his daughter. “I had a splendid night baby, what about you?” Chimere suddenly slumps into her chair feeling all low
Unknown Pov. The sun was up early and as always Chimere was all ready and set for school. Her little backpack hung on her back with a little teddy bear dangling from one angle to the other as she swayed in different directions eagerly waiting for her father to finish up and drop her at school. Mckenny descends the stairs in a hurry, as he tries gathering the files in his hands in an orderly manner. “Ready?” he asks his daughter who quickly nods leading the way to the white Range Rover packed outside the building. “Where is Seranda?” he asked, staring at the handbag on the table. “Coming” Seranda answers from the kitchen walking out with Chimere's lunch box in hand fully packed. “Wow!! You didn't have to do that, we could have picked something on our way” Mckenny says climbing on to the driver's seat, but not before placing his bag in the back seat. “It would have taken us more time, and it is good she had homemade food more often than others” Mckenny doesn't say another word.
Unknown Pov. “And no daughter of mine will turn out to be so poorly raised like you” Rebecca spat angrily. Chimere turns to Seranda, taking her by the hand, and leading her to the elevator. “You did mention I am a brat, and I will show you just how bratty I can be” Rebecca doesnt take the words of Chimere seriously as she lumps back on her seat tired for no reason. Chimere runs out of the elevator passing the eyes of envy on her way as she dashes into her father's office running straight into his arms. “For a while I thought you were playing a trick with me when I saw Seranda and not you” Mckenny held her tight, kissing her forehead. “I have so much to work and Daddy is sorry not to have informed you on time” Chimere throws her hands in the air dramatically. “If getting Seranda is what I get, then how can I complain? Just the ride here was so much fun I did not want it to end” Mckenny was more than happy watching the smile glow on the face of his daughter. He did make a mental
Unknown Pov. It's been two weeks since the Chimere incident at work. Not only has Rebecca been avoiding Seranda but she has made it her life’s mission to see to it that the boss doesn't marry her. Like always, the day was going smoothly for everyone else except Rebecca and Faline. Once again the boss was traveling on a solo trip and his supposed companion was set to be no one else but Seranda. Rebecca taps on her keyboard angrily venting out her anger on the poor keyboard. She was in no good mood and her body language said it all. “Hey Becca, can I sign out early today?” a female voice asked. Rebecca stared upfront and there stood a female employee from the accounting department. “And why do you need to sign out early? The boss doesn't like lazy employees” she questioned but the female employee just stared at her tears pricking from the corners of her eyes. “I … I don't feel so good” she trailed. Rebecca angrily brings out the signing sheet slamming hard on the table. “I will
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
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. 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
