Chapter: Epilogue 5 years later The birds were tweeting. The weather was beautiful. It was the kind that was warm to the skin, because the sun had not come out that much, but it was sort of chilly. Like a blend of two. Cold and hot equaled warm. I was jealous of the weather.A smile began to creep onto my face. Breakfast would be awesome here. I coughed into the crook of my elbow. Oh, this cough. It was something else. I looked down at myself. Guess I have to wait to be normal again. I went to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water, and poured some into a glass. Suddenly something flashed in my eyes.What was— oh. I sighed.“Maxine!” I screamed. That young lady was doing too much these days. She had zoomed past me.“Coming, Mum!” came the cheery voice. What was she up to now? I turned to go check that out when I felt someone touch my shoulders. “Have this baby.” Knox put a strawberry into my mouth. I smiled. “Thanks, sweetheart.” I said in a muffled voice. I opened my mouth, and as he put it into min

Chapter: Finally caught “Hurry!” The guard guiding us whispered in the darkness. Lilith grabbed my arm. “We will be there soon,” she said, and I nodded. We continued running. Even though I could no longer go on but I pushed on. I loved my baby, but I hated that I was pregnant now, at all times. We kept running through the woods until I stopped. “You okay?” Lilith asked. “I…I... need. To … breath” my cheat rose and fell as I put my hands on my waist. The guard stopped. He was either irritated or scared. I couldn’t tell. That look he gave me made me stand again and we continued running. We kept running till we got to the end of the pack. I was out of breath, my mouth was open like funnel as I tried to breath. “We will wait here,” the guard said, in between breaths. A car appeared and we got in. The car pulled up at a huge dock. My eyes widened as I stared at the ship. “It’s huge,” I muttered. “Yes” Lilith nodded. We stood and watched them board. We queued up. When it was getting to our turn, I s

Chapter: In Danger My eyes were ripped open by a flash of light. I squinted and used my hand to block the light. Unaware of my surroundings, I tried to turn, but I felt an intense pain in my foot. “Ah,” I tried to rub it, but I couldn't reach my leg. “She’s awake “I hears someone yell and instantly the room was surrounded by maid and then a disheveled-haired Lilith came running in. “Nina!” She touched my face. Her eyes were red, and she sniffed. Were those tears? Had she been crying? Wait a minute, what happened last? I stretched my hand to her. “Help me sit,” I croaked. She put her arm behind me and gently pulled me up. While up, my eyes scanned the room. I needed no telling that I was at the royal physician’s office. “Are you okay? Do I get you something?” Lilith asked. I slowly shook my head. “Where are we?” I asked. Her eyes widened. “You don’t remember?” she asked. I was about to shake my head when suddenly it hit me. The last thing I remember was gasping for breath and banging on the

Chapter: Torture I couldn’t breathe. I froze, like I had been rooted to that spot. Staring right back at me with tear-stained eyes and a mucus-running nose was none other than the nurse from the clinic. The one who had interrupted the doctor. She was wearing a maid's uniform. She must have a part-time nose. I briefly shut my eyes. I knew I had seen her at the palace. I cast a glance at Lilith. She looked icy, she wanted to cry. I smiled sadly. It was now obvious, even to the blind, that Ashira knew I was with child. “Why do you seem shocked, Nina?” I quickly raised my head to stare at Ashira. She crossed her arms and had a smirk on her face. Then I recalled her attitude when she came in. Now it all makes sense. ] “Oh, it’s nothing,” I smiled nervously. “Do you know her?” she probed further. She was basking in the moment of my confusion, her smirk widening by the minute. I shook my head. “Of course I don’t,” I said. “Oh really?” Ashira smirked. I nodded. Ashira walked around the room and p

Chapter: She knows The days that followed the making of Vincent, Knox's brother, the acting alpha, were filled with horror. For reasons best known to themselves, werewolves in the winter fell pack began to commit suicide. At first, I felt bad, and when the 3rd and 4th person died, I knew something was wrong. And just like Lilith had told me, Vincent Camden was a disaster for the winter fell pack. After the suicides, he sympathized with the families and gave them some money. People began to talk good about him, and I told Lilith maybe people were just scared. But little did we know that was the only good thing Vincent Camden would do. After that sympathy show, he approved witches and vampires to come as they like in the pack. This change created a room for evil in the pack. When one has issues, all they have to do is go to a witch and get a potion. The next thing you would hear was that the other werewolf was dead. Then came the tax. Werewolves were not money-driven. They preferred to live in pea

Chapter: Scared Shitless “Are you sure she works in the palace?” Lilith said as soon as we got into the car. I shrugged. “I think it was just in your head,” Lilith said. “You sure?” She nodded. I stared at her and she smiled. “Believe me, Nina.” I gave her a small smile and turned to my side of the car. While we rode back, I was deep in thought, what if she heard what the doctor said? My heart broke. I looked down and rubbed my belly. I was scared for my baby and myself. We got back to the palace just in time before the gates were closed. Lilith called a few of her maid friends and her stepson, Lucas, to my chambers. She said it would act as a noise distraction. So whenever they hear anything coming from my room, we could easily say it was Lucas. Lilith tried to make me feel safe, but I was still troubled. The girl from the clinic made me worried. As I slept that night, I tried to assure myself that it was just in my head. ****************************************************************************

She smiled, she had a surprise for them, her grandpa was going to announce her as his successor today. She will show them that they can't get rid of her that easily. The waiters began to wheel trolleys of delicacy around as people picked their choice. Some of the food nauseated her and she wondered whether her body was feeling funny due to stress.

Chapter: Chapter 1 Melody Wilson quickly typed away at the computer system before her. She was running short of time, it's almost time for the board meeting. At the tender age of twenty-one, she was the president of Wilson corporation. Her parents had died when she was still a child and her grandfather raised her ever since. She was his favorite grandchild. She was hardworking, highly intelligent with a squeaky-clean reputation. In fact she had a stellar reputation with zero scandals. Little wonder why the old man passed the Wilson corporation to her despite the protests from the other members of the Wilson family. "Madam, the board members are all present and the project research team is ready for their presentation" Her secretary said standing at the door with files Melody might be needing for the gathering. "I will be right there" Melody said and shut down the computer. Her phone began to ring immediately she stood up. She quickly adjusted her clothes while trying to ignore the call, but the caller w
