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 to face my brother since he wants me. Tell him not to follow and be safe”
I rode out with Temperest, he rode like the light of lightning, quick, and swift, all I had was the image of the place I once called home at heart and he rode towards my home. Hours went by and I still was on the road, with no rest for food or water. As the sun set at the back of the mountains and hill, the glimpse of home came forward, burned to ashes was the castle, now a barren land sitting at the center of the clan. I rode with temperest, young wolves shutting their doors at the sight of me, the news of my arrival was spreading. On arrival on the barren grounds, burned furniture of chairs, the roof and everything lay dark and black on what used to be the higher grounds of the Copper family. The entrance I was forbidden to pass through, the garden I couldn't plug roses from, the attic I called a room, all lay beneath my feet burned and reduced to nothing ashes.
“I knew you would come, did you think I would forget my worst nightmare”’ There was no reason for me to turn, I knew that voice. He sounded rash and deep, about what was wrong with him. Something was off with him, he did not seem to smell like the brother I know. ‘’Ciranda, the person you want is me, and here I am. I want you to leave Kenny and those close to him”
“Kenny….Kenny? Seranda you know has a name for him, you now feel you love him. You are mine your body, your purity all should be mine. It is the price you have to pay for coming into this world with me, I should have been the only one.” Ciranda roared, his voice trembling I could smell the faint scent of blood all over him.
“‘Where is mom, where is dad and how did you get these powers?’’ he did not look like his previous self, his eyes dark and lost, he had no sense of hope or life in him. I couldn't feel the twin bond we shared despite his protest of wanting it cut a long time ago.
‘’Cirenda where are you, what have you done? How can you become someone I barely recognize, this is not my brother. I am willing to beg Kenny on your behalf and I know he will have a change of heart. Ciranda I am here for you” his eyes became darker and and darker by the moment, I could not see him, and the very next second his hands wrapped around my neck choking me harder and harder. My breath was fast becoming very difficult. My version becoming blurred at the moment.
‘’Please…I will do anything you want, please brother”’ his laugh filled the air.
“‘You have no choice, it is not your place to say, you are mine and I will make sure you are sold to the highest bidder. I won't mind having a taste of you before the auction is over” My spirit left my body within seconds. It is an abomination, an unsaid punishment for siblings to be intimate with each other. I felt his nails digging deeper into my neck, the pain was excruciating, I felt my skin rip and blood roll down my back, what had he become? The next happenings were slow and painful, he roared loudly and painfully, and my ears bled with every sound he made. This was not the brother I knew, this was not the man raised to be the alpha.
‘’I love the way you scream, they didn't treat you well but you sound just like them when I pulled out their heart and ate them to feed my anger”’ he killed them, he killed the only people who loved in in the world. His growl was so loud and responding wolves from all over the clan answered. He has turned the land into something I can't recognize. “Stay with me, do not leave me” I could hear his voice, it was Kenny he had been in contact with. The eyes of my brother glowed in pleasure.
‘’Well, I didn't know I would be catching a bigger fish with having you I can do you the favor of keeping you alive and having the both of you meet one last time. Tell alpha Mckenny Goldon, the vengeance of his sister is still pending and I am willing to have a deal for it. A life for a life, he can take that of my sister to replace that of his sister” How could he, he was willing to have my mate kill me. This was not the brother I knew.
“‘Mckenny Goldon, I know you can hear me, meet me in the human realm you know the location, I mean a man like you who likes whores should be able to tell. 2 hours or she will be property to some human mafia ing, and you know they don't tend to treat their whores any better, especially unpure ones.’’ my vision was beginning to fail me, his voice was fading.
‘’Huge now and sleep little sister, I will make sure to record as I take your purity as a gift for our family, for the pain he caused my parents. This is what you owe us, you owe me for making me not an only child like I should have been from the very start” his hand caressed my hair tenderly, and everything went blank.
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
Mckenny Pov ‘’Any leads?’’ Mark walks in holding a basket of fruits. I haven't had time to eat or sleep, knowing she is out there with Cirenda makes everything even more worse. We've been on the road for a very long time and the northern shifters pack is down to ruins. Everything from the pack's previous glory is burned down to ashes. 80% of its previous inhabitants have all turned to rogues and lone wolves while the few remaining are either too traumatized to move on or disabled in one way or the other. War leaves casualties, how I wish there was a better way out, the people did not have to suffer for the wrongdoings of their alpha. I walk on the land that gave me my Luna, the castle she was raised in now beneath my feet. “How did we get here?’’ a voice whispered close to me, I needed not to turn around to know who it was. Grace came from the Golden Coven to help after the strategy that had left my sister on the line between death and the living. She is not dead, nor is she alive,
Seranda’s pov. Everything was happening so slowly. I could see everything displayed before my eyes. I knew it was either I was dreaming or I was dead, I could no longer feel my body, and everything started all over again. The fog from the forest cleared and I saw where I was standing and it was the same as always. The beautiful mansion I grew up in, my mother and father smiling happily. I could see the love they had for each other in their eyes, if only they looked at me in the same way then just maybe I would never have ended up on the cold table ready to be devoured by my brother, my mother turned and I could see she was heavily pregnant. I walked up ahead and they did not notice my presence, it was like I never existed, like I was a ghost or something like that. ‘’What would you want to name her?”’ my mother asked my father as he caressed her stomach tenderly. He looked at her with a cute smile. ‘’Seranda, she is the keeper of Zeranda and it is only right we name her after him”
The new witch soon left after her threat. Everything did not seem right. How could he hate me when I was his mate? I know that looks so well, I have lived with people all my life and the thought of them loving me and protecting me made my stomach turn. How could they love me when all they did was show me just how much they hated me? Same look on Kenny’s face, he was fighting himself to be close to me, I could feel him, but my wolf was asleep. “Oh goddess!”’ I abruptly stood up. My wolf was asleep, what did Cirenda give me? I couldn't think straight, all I had ever wanted was to get my mate and move away. I wanted to leave my family, the family I am now aware of only loved me and wanted to keep me safe from the devil I was born with. My stomach turned even more, how could I keep up with this? Was I to tell him my real identity? Why would she even care, why would he be interested to know my parents loved me and only wanted to protect me when they had his parents killed? The war was an
I did not see the reason why I had to wait for him to finish his meal. I hated the sparks and how MY body reacted to him. I knew it was the mate bond and I could not hide how desperate myself and my wolf wanted him. But this was not the time, he hated me, he would rather have me confined to the walls of my room than see my face, I knew it was my fault and I had to stay away, I would rather he reject me quickly so I can go away. I had nothing left in my realm, becoming a rogue and staying in the human world was the best of all the plans I had. Rejection was around the corner, I reminded myself. a few servants had brought dessert, and about leaving I said the worst. ‘’Can you help me to my room?’’ I asked the servants. Who turns to Mckenny Goldon as if asking for permission. It was my room and my body, why were they seeking permission from him? A little growl left his throat making them scramble away, in fear. ‘’Why would you do that? All I want is help in my room. They are not male
‘’Isn't this training?’’ I swallow hard. The maid could feel my resistance. I would love to hit it off with her, however, I was in no position to get into a gruesome fight with anyone. ‘’You two hurry up, I don't have all day,’’ Sofia snapped. She had started with pushups and her breast was of good cup size. An hourglass shape but less ass, her boobs big and full. Unconsciously I stared down at mine. I had an hourglass shape, however, I was too skinny at the moment for it to be seen. My boobs were nothing compared to hers. Close enough the maid let go of me, and Sofia was already in position ready to attack. Was this lady crazy? Did she plan on killing me? Before I could tell what was happening, she was quick to hit me, my body flew across the arena hitting the hard ground, and my chest hurt so much from her kick. She was not just a witch but some fucking hybrid, I could see her canines were out ready for blood. Why haven't I seen this before, the moon was almost up, and today ther
Mckenny’s Pov It's a full moon and what better than starting training with Seranda? She is something special, after she is okay, I will reject her. It hadn't crossed my mind that she mentioned it. The thought of her knowing she is expecting us to reject her hurts even more. My wolf won't forgive me if I should ever do that, but I don't know how long I can keep her here without making everything suspicious. Her scent alone is intoxicating, I can't seem to focus on her around me. Having dinner with her was good, her lips were just perfect. What was I doing? She smelled just so good, I either had to kiss her or my wolf would have gotten control and I couldn’t let that happen. The way she pouted her lips when she was angry, oh how much I wanted to bend her over the dining table and have my way. The bulge in my pants only got tighter. I should be hating her and not feeling so attracted to her. I slump into my chair, I glance at the watch and it is time for her training. She must be wait
“Oh of course mr Barrows, what pressing issue is there that known of us is aware of?”’ Orlando Markwell, answers. They have been enemies for the longest time ever since their fathers had their way with each other's daughter. Orlando has been with the company for longer and can be considered a friend, however, he would never skip on the opportunity to bite back or pick a fight with his greatest enemy. Thinking Ciranda was a beast nurturing such thoughts to have his way with his sister, a curse from the moon goddess. However, the human realm was far more sinful. Fathers had their way with their very own daughters, brothers did the unthinkable and some mothers were practically whores. ‘’If it was addressed to you then you would have heard your name Orlando. It's not like you are present in every shareholder meeting like I and the others here”’ I was exhausted and there was nothing more I needed than some quietness. Not stopping these two now would only bring forth a hurricane of outcom
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
