0001: The Slave

MERIDA " Meridaaaaa!!!" Someone yelled my name from upstairs and I gave a silent groan as my head pounded not from the scream but from lack of sleep and hunger." Where is that ostrich called Merida?" The voice said again as I struggled to my feet and my stomach rumbled.I didn't need a seer to tell me who it was. It was no other person but my Aunt Ophelia. I could hear her loud footsteps coming down the stairs. Just as I tried to steady myself, I fell back on the box I had been sitting on. " Goodness me." She gasped." I just hope I'm blind and not seeing you sitting like the mate to a powerful Alpha."she said to me. I opened my mouth to say something and only air poured out and, before I could blink, her hands flew through the air and made slices of slaps on my cheeks, sending me reeling backwards."What have you been doing here? You have been busy doing nothing, I guess." She said again to me and I kept mute. Enough experience had told me that trying to defend myself would only

0002: Alpha Lukan

MERIDAMy eyes were spinning in my head, and they dropped on my feet.My tongue felt so limp and dry that I couldn't utter a single word.Shhhh, I said to myself.Don't say a word. Don't even breathe. I could feel the hot intensity of their eyes, I was almost burning under their gaze and I wished the ground would open and swallow me up. My cheeks were burning up, already turning red with embarrassment and I felt so scared I could feel the Alpha's eyes on me. "Why did you do it?"he asked suddenly, making me glance up and look away quickly. He sat back on the chair and gulped down the contents in the tumbler and set it back on the table."It was my birthday. My sixth birthday party." I forced myself to speak." I wanted to give my parents a treat, so I added the Nightshade fern.""The Nightshade fern is of two types," Alpha Lukan said, rubbing his jaw slightly."the one with green leaves is extinct now, and I presume you are speaking about the one with blue petals."Aunt Ophelia and her

0003: A New Home

LUKAN" So she is the 13th bride, yeah?" Dean asked as the Mercedes-Benz glided towards the pack." I forgot she is the 15th and not a bride, right?" Dean asked again but got no response from me.I have so many things to think of than to give him a reply.From my mind's eyes I could envision a sly smile creeping up his lips." Be quiet Dean." Lemuel shushed him in a small voice."I was just thinking aloud, that's all." Dean continued, and my face turned red. "I'll be forced to clip your lips together." I said to him, my voice kind of low as the car pulled up in front of the Packhouse of Frostclaw Ever since I had met her, something had gone off in me, not that she was the first woman I met or more beautiful than the others, but there was something different about her which I just couldn't place.The connection was just too strong. Dean was so correct. She was the 15th girl I met and deep down I was kind of anxious. I was hoping that she would be The One whom I have been searching fo

0004: Speak To Me

LUKAN" Oh, I'm so sorry." Rosita said quickly, composing herself and looking kind of embarrassed." I was kind of lost in thought."" Fine if you say so." I replied, not wanting to push it, but I knew I saw a kind of recognition in her eyes. I was staring at Merida, it was now that I looked at her. She was probably thinner and looking frail than before, and she was always trying to avoid my gaze."You have to take her measurement Rosita for her new dresses."" Yes, Alpha Lukan," Rosita replied and proceeded to take Merida's measurement, who was looking kind of frightened. I peered at her, and it seemed there were a lot of things she wanted to say. "What is it, Merida? Speak." Merida shook her head."No, it's nothing."I stared at her for a while, living with her aunt and uncle must have molded her into someone who is silently headstrong and stubborn."If you have something to say, then spill it out, don't get me angry. As my mate, you should learn to be outspoken, and also I will m

0005: The Injury

MERIDA"I don't know anything about the Nightshade fern,"I said in a very small voice hesitantly. He was staring at me now, and I could see a glint of concern in his eyes. The way he had shouted minutes ago proved just one thing. It meant that he cared about me.This was the first time anyone was going to show me so much care. " I thought you knew the difference between both flowers, though they kind of look alike."" I- I don't know," I stammered.He exhaled." But your aunt and uncle said you knew the difference, like I explained before, the Nightshade fern is of two types. The first is extinct and the one they said you added to your parents' drink is very difficult to find. But I know that something about the story isn't adding up."I glanced up at him as he continued."Your fingers are supposed to be stained if indeed you pluck one of the flowers."" Oh." That was the only thing I could say. " I will make them pay for making you suffer." He said to me and walked through the wind

0006: Unstable Feelings

LUKAN"What do you mean by her injuries won't heal easily."I said bursting into the room and from the corner of my eyes I could see Merida flinched.My fist rolled into a ball by my sides and my eyes were blazing. I was so angry that I was even surprised. This was the kind of anger that came because one cared so much about someone.I shook my head , I was only doing it because I felt pity towards her, I said to myself.Julietta's head shot up quickly and she gave me a sidelong look which I recognized immediately and turned away. I knew something terrible was going on."You will have to apply the Willows Tears on the injury." She said in a very small voice her eyes fixed on mine as she walked to her desk." Come Merida, let me take you upstairs." I said, taking her hand .Upstairs in our bedroom ,I made her lift her shirt up and unscrewed the small bottle , the greenish paste-like substance stared back at me, it had no smell .I scoped just a little amount and placed it on the injury

0007: Dreams Of Opulence

CHAPTER 7MERIDAI watched him as he walked out of the room with an air of a nonchalant attitude around him. He was the Alpha so what was I even expecting from him. Rosita felt hurt by his words but I guess she was already used to it. I felt so small that I wanted to sink. I never expected him to speak that way. Well he was funny actually for me to get along with him I have to do my very best not to get him angry. I was still staring at the door when Rosita called my attention. "Do you want me to escort you to the dinning?"she asked and I blinked several times to understand what she was saying. Back home at Frostclaw pack, no one escorted me anywhere except when I was about to be given some lashes. I could count how many times I ate in a week.she must have seen how surprised and flushed my cheeks were and she smiled at me. "I can show you to the dining room if you don't want me to go with you." Rosita said again in a very small voice.I struggled to my feet and managed a smile

0008: Embarrassed

MERIDAIt was the singing of the birds and the harsh sun rays that woke me up.I couldn't even remember how long I had slept or when I had slept off. I stirred , turning to the other side of the bed suddenly feeling so cold .I grabbed the duvet and pulled it over my head , trying to go back to sleep. My stomach rumbled , reminding me how little I had eaten last night and I almost cried out, the hunger that was chewing at the other side of my stomach grew more teeth and increased its tempo.Just then I suddenly sat quickly as if pricked by a needle I broke out in cold sweat. Aunt Ophelia....I said to myself , my eyes darted around the room and for a moment I forgot that I was no longer in Frostclaw pack.I was somewhere , safe somewhere where no harm could get to me and where I could no longer be reminded of how unworthy and useless I was.I slapped my temple softly and exhaled in relief."You are up so early."I heard a voice say and I quickly turned to find Alpha Lukan standing b

0009: A Meeting I Didn't Ask For

  LUKAN The car gilded slowly before it stopped in the parking lot, I glanced at my watch and realized I was fifteen minutes late.  "If they can't wait they can go home." I muttered to myself as I took the steps up to my office. "Good morning sir." My receptionist greeted me with a low bow , I gave no reply and walked away when I saw my PA but I pretended not to see her . She came out of an office smiling sheepishly obviously engaged in a gossip. " Good morning Alpha Lukan." She said half running after me and trying to keep up with my long strides. "I sent you two emails and you never gave a reply, " I said, taking another bend.  "I did , but I was waiting to congratulate you." She said in a rasped breath and I stopped in my tracks. "Congratulate me for what?" I asked lines of anger etched on my

00010: A Mere Distraction

  LUKAN I stood staring down at the pack below, one hand thrust into my pocket and the other holding a tumbler. My mind was far away and it went back to the discussion I had with my mother , Julietta . I took another sip , savoring the taste , the cold liquid ran down my throat , warming it  Thinking about Merida , I felt there was so much I needed to know about her.  It seems she was a shadow , like she just wasn't existing and when I turned away she might just vanish. I exhaled and poured myself another glass of vodka . I guess they were still a lot of things that I just didn't know about her , it seems there were many things I might never know about her  "Why does it seem like mother knows so much about her ?" I muttered to myself taking another sip. The
