"Captain!" I nearly jumped up from my seat because I was shocked for a moment as I was too engrossed in what I was drafting. Also lost in my thoughts, I did not realize someone walked in. I quickly composed myself and shot back at this intruder."Why did you not knock and wait for me to give you the permission to come in?""I'm sorry captain. I had knocked for quite a while and I did not get any answer so I barged in thinking something was wrong. I was too reckless." the warrior that had walked in said. I was at fault for not hearing him knock so I waved it off."What is it? Is there something you need to report to me?" I asked."Someone is here to see you.""Who is that?"We rarely had visitors coming to the base. The warriors' camp was not a place to come tour around except it was for a serious business so I wondered who was here to see me."Ma'am Eloise."As the name flowed out of his mouth, I did not bother to question how she got in. She had some powers in the pack making her a
Ashley/ Olivia's POVThe best time to leave Silver Tail noticed was at midnight. As a captain, I knew the in and out and where I could sneak out easily. I decided to take one tour around the house before I would leave. Lance came back to the house much early and he made dinner. He promised to specially prepare dinner for me but I did not take it to heart like I now did.His action and that of the servants this evening was as if they were either pleading I stayed behind or they were sending me off. It prompted me to begin to think if they were aware of my plans."How would they know? Are there some spirit who can read anyone's mind?" Lola kicked the thought out of my head. However, it was better to be careful so I acted like I did on every other days."I prepared your favorite so eat as much as you can." Lance said as a he dished out food for me on the dining table. The food spread out was appetizing and I ate from every of the dishes he made."How is it?" he asked, standing bes
Lance's POVI had a sweet dream but I did not know it would turn sour after I woke up. Strangely, I had the urge to be awake through the night. The pressure was much on me around midnight but I ignored, preferring to choose my sweet dream.It was morning and I woke up to go to the gym at 5am for my morning workout. A note pulled out in front of me as I opened the door.It looked like it was placed there intentionally by someone and I looked around the hall for any trace or scent of the person who had dropped it but there was none.I bent over to pick it and read the content. I did not take long to glance through the writing on the small piece of paper but my eyes widened in terror, fear and alarm as I read the writing line for line and word for words again.It read, "Dear Lance,Thank you for being there for me and taking care of me even when I pushed you to the wall. I have to go somewhere. I am sorry I can tell you much. I would love to return here but I don't know if I would be ab
Ashley/Olivia's POVI ran and refused to stop even when I was tired. I made sure to cover every track or trace of my scent even while I escaped.Lola was too tired but she refused to stop. She had been running the whole night and it was just a little past dawn."Lola, please rest a little. We are far away from Silver Tail now and so it will be hard for anyone to come for us." I said to her, trying to take the reign from her."Just a little bit more. Let me run a little bit more until I am sure we are in a safe zone." She said, still running.I felt bad for letting her do all the running. I would have done part while she continued. I do not have that much stamina as her to run for eight straight hours without stopping to rest."I just feel bad and want you to rest. I have been resting here all night while you take all the stress of running to escape on you." I said, my voice laced with concern."Don't worry about me. I will be fine." She assured me.I gave up on trying to persuade her
Lance's POV"Did you find her?" Eloise's voice greeted me as I entered the house with my head down and heart heavy."Tell me exactly what is going on here Lance? Why would Olivia suddenly disappear again? I know she was not attacked and taken away so how is she missing?" she yelled, her voice breaking.I was tired, too tired to talk. I had been in the woods for almost all the day. I had screamed and shouted her name in every corner I could comb but there was no answer.Jason and Damien had returned to the pack earlier than I after hours of futile search. When they saw I was not coming back, Jason came to look for me to bring me back to the house and here I was."I don't know why she left. She did not give me any reason." I said, throwing my almost lifeless body on one of the couch."Left? She left on her own? You didn't tell me any of that this morning." Damien who was patting Eloise to remain calm stopped abruptly and rushed over to where I was lying."I knew there was something fis
Today was the 5th day of the month of September and counting down, it's been two years since that horrible incident.Lost in thoughts, Ashley stood in front of her mirror trying so hard not to let guilt overwhelm her. Her rain of thoughts is however interrupted by a noise coming from behind her."What's up with you Luciana? You are the only one who has the right to barge into the Luna's room. Even my husband would knock at times." Ashley with arms akimbo pretends to be angry."Try kick me out then. I am sure you can't do that." Luciana lips curved slightly, giving off a sheepish grin as she replied.Luciana knew what her friend was thinking about and she could not help but be happy to see guilt written all over her face. It would make things much easier for others to believe with her attitude.Two years ago, while Ashley and Martins were still in courtship, Martin's niece got missing and the body was found months later.Ashley and Luciana had gone to the alpha's family house to mak
Limuel sat up quickly while trying to figure out who could be at the door. The knock didn't last for long as he heard another footstep coming closer."The Luna doesn't want to be distributed. I believe she is fast asleep now." A voice from outside said to the other."Alright, head maid. I just thought to check up her if she needed anything." The maid replied.Limuel heaved a sigh of relief and laid down back. He soon fell asleep as he also took a sleeping pill.It was evening and the other family members had started arriving for the birthday celebration. The family members that were present shook hands and greeted one another as they waited for the celebrant to arrive.The host of the party, alpha Martins was already in the hall welcoming the people who had arrived but his Luna was not yet around. He looked around the hall to see if he could catch a glimpse of her probably she was too busy doing some finishing touch preparations."This is unlike Li. Where could she be?" He thought.Be
Alpha Martins POVMy heart was beating fast and my wolf, Max was getting agitated. "How could our mate do this to us? That means she doesn't love us." He whimpered.I stormed out of the room to catch my breath and figure it out all . I didn't want to look like a weakling in front of so many people. It hurts, but I dare not cry. What I should do at least is to imprison her.One part of me is furious while the other part is still fighting to accept the fact that she killed my niece and cheated on me with a mere servant.I walked back calmly into the room and gave my order."Beta Carl, summon my prison guards to arrest her. Although she is the Luna, she has committed a grevious crime that is punishable by our law. As for this servant who had the nerves to sleep with my wife, he should be flogged thirty lashes of cane before thrown into the cell.""Father, I am sorry about what happened and to think that it happened on a happy day like this, I feel so ashamed. Happy birthday, father." I
