โโWe need to hurry up, there is so much left to be done with so little timeโโ Emandra urges the servants as she goes around picking a few items. โโI wish I could come with you this time around. It will be great seeing the world and just enjoying its beautyโโ Paris tells Emandra. She wanted something to occupy her mind. Joining the moon crescent pack, she developed a love for the orphanage. It was not strange as she connected with the children. They reminded her so much of her fallen angel. โโI know but right now is not the time, there is so much to be done. I will send words for Enzo to bring you over once everything is sorted out. While in the time being I want you to enjoy your life to the fullest. You now have a mate and I know it is an amazing feeling,โ Emandra complimented. The sad look on Paris, face told her otherwise. โโComeโโ Emandra pulls her to the bed. They have not had a good chance to talk ever since she got back. It had all started with the attack and just as soon a
Emandra and Shane stayed silent throughout their journey. Shane wanted some quiet time and she understood. He was going through so much and she did understand. As they got closer to Altera, she could not shake off the feeling of something happening. โโDon't worry, it will end wellโโ Shane assures her. The shadows were with Chase, they had suddenly grown a fondness towards her father, and seeing them chat like long-time friends put smiles on her face. โโรs the car approached the valley of red roses, emandra stepped out of the car. As expected Keeper had been waiting for them. โโWelcome home my queenโโ Keeper bows dutifully. โโMy dad is alive, I won't be your queen anytime soonโโ emandra corrected as she walked away but the words of Keeper stopped her in her tracks. โโTime shall tellโโ Emandra turned but she was long gone, the flowers now had petals and a path created for them. โโKeeper what do you mean?โโ Emandra asked desperately but only silence and the echo of her voice cou
Enzo was quick to get a dash outside making sure not to disturb Paris. Just like him, she had demons within her she was fighting. He wanted her to be okay, but they knew better. โโMeet me at the northern bordersโโ Enzo mindlinked the other gamas, as he ran as fast as he could. Luck was on it stepping by the second. the closer they got to the borders the creepier he felt. โโWhat's that stench?โโ Enzo asked Luck who sniffed the air. It smelled so rotten, just sniffing it made them want to puke. โI don't know, but we are close to it.โโ Luck answers. The water was fresh and fresh blew through the forest. โโBetaโโ one of the Gamas walked up to Enzo handing him a crumpled piece of paper. โโWhat's written in it?โโ Enzo asks to take it away. It has barely been just a few days since Enzo left and so much was happening already. Unlike the snowfall pack which now had an alpha to take care of everything, but that was not the case with the rogue kingdom. Not only was the second in command g
Coming back home has been the very best, wanting them to get enough rest, grandmother Reeker has been taking care of everything, not letting his son or granddaughter stress. Alpha Chase has been on good help and Grandmother Reeker could not help but love him even more. โโWow, you look stunningโโ Alpha Chase compliments his mate. Emandra had been dressed in a white fairy-like attire that swept the floor, with golden chains dancing around her waist and ankles. She looked nothing less than an elven princess so beautiful and precious. AlphaChasee has been so busy over the past few days that had not gotten to spend quality time with her. โโWant to have a taste?โโ Emandra jokes, but the look on his face says it all. He did not want only a taste but the whole menu and if possible dessert, "We have to get going, princess,โ one of the servants tells her. Emandra did not react much, she was still getting used to others calling her princess more often than Lunar. She loved the Luna title more
Everyone was watching as the shadows hovered around, they were too scared to utter even as as soon possible. โโYou should call these things back, Emandra, you can't use them to keep us quietโโ Minister Freda roared angrily. She was not in favor of a werewolf taking over as king. Indeed the king was back but having Alpha Chase around was an assurance that he would be king sooner or later. That was something none of them was willing to accept, while the king was still strong and healthy, they had to deal with it. โโIt is not in my power to control them. As ministers of Altera aren't you aware the shadows go to the mate after the mating ceremony is complete? It seems you have some updates to take care of Minister Freda. Laya and Laan and not in my place to control and I think the earlier you address them properly be as fast as you can get them off your back. โโ emandra was not going to hide it, the ministers were aware but not the rest of the kingdom. โโShe completed the mating cere
Ever since the shadows announce the death, Emandra has not been able to sleep with both eyes closed. She knew deep down it was going to be someone close to her but she could not pinpoint who it was and the shadows won't answer. Shane too did not know and she could tell something was stopping him from seeing it deliberately. โโCan't sleep again?โโ Alpha Chase asked wrapping a blanket around her. โโYeah,โโ Emandra replied sadly. It has been like this ever since they announce someone was going to die. โโWhy don't you talk to them, just maybe they will give in to youโโ Emandra asked Alpha Chase. She could not wait for it to happen. โโYou know they like you more and they always listen to youโโ she added. Yes, they did like him more, but now it was out of his hands. No matter how much he tried to convince the shadows to tell him who the next victim of death was, they simply would not say a word. While Laan looked like she was ready to spill the beans, the murderous look from Laya was e
โโHow can he just die? He was fine a while ago, why is he dead?โโ emandra screamed so loudly the frequency of her voice was affecting the building. โโFather.. Please open your eyes, you can't leave just yetโโ Emandra shook King Kenrick but he was not responsive. His body was ice cold which was rather strange as it had been only minutes since his breath seized. Alpha chase stepped forward pulling emandra from the king as he examined the dead body. White foams could be spotted in his mouth, a black substance making its way out of his ears. โโWho prepared his drink?โโ alpha chase asked calmly. Something was wrong and while he did the camping, Shane and Grandmother Reeker helped in keeping Emandra in check. She was in such a terrible state.โI asked who prepared the drink?โโ Alpha Chase roared this time around, not holding back his anger. He was not in the mood for petty games. It was clear the king was murdered and the evidence was still in her goblet. โโI won't ask the third time,
Loud gasps echoed all over the ceremonial ground. Every eye was on the ministers as they all stood guiltily. Minister Freda wanted so much to scream and tell the world she had no hand in the sudden demise of the king but were her words enough? Their actions and guilty looks had long condemned them. โโWhat? cat got your tongues? I did tell you yesterday, that it takes two to tangle. You wanted to play chess and I am that opponent who chose youโโ laya stood over the ministers with a wicked grin. โโโ Letting you go will be the worst mistake, hence I will be personally in charge of overseeing your death, but that will only have to take place when the queen and king have been crowned.โโ Laya turned to the guards who had long stepped away from the king. They now understood the side they had to arrest, the group of murderers stood not blinking. Not one of them said a word. The more they try to bring up arguments of the innocents the more their minds fail them. โโI was only asked to drop
Stephanie settled where she thought it would be even difficult to get anyone who knew her. It has been 5 years of rasing Kimberly all alone. Yes, she had settled on the name Kimberly for her baby girl. There were times she wished Mathew was still with them, most especially as Kim looked everything like her father. Curly hair, and blue eyes that capture the heart of everyone. But how could she wish to still go back to him after all these years? The more time went by the more she tried to hide. But everything was rather getting out of hand as Kimber was set on finding a new daddy for herself and a husband for mummy. Picking her up from school, as always she would pretend like she islost with her mother only waking a few feets away from her and set her with a man on blind dates. It has been a habit of hers from a very young age. Unlike other childen, she was no ordinary baby, as early as 3 she behaved and acted like 5 years olds in the human would. Stephanie was ready onse againt to g
Everyone was still in shock when Sofia went ahead to stab her mother. โโWhy?โโ Mrs. Anderson asked trying to face her daughter, but she only pushed her hard to the ground. โโThis is for all the lies you told me. All the times you watched me suffer and did nothing.โโ Sofia did not feel remorseful at all. โโIt's timeโโ everyone heard Brandon announce as they put on their masks. Sofia was too late to react as the medication they had prepared themself, came falling on her body. It was not about it falling but threatening it was the main objective. Laan and Laya hover all over the territory making sure no one is left. Victory was finally theirs, but it cost them so much. โโLong live the kingโฆ long live the queenโโ the lycans all began chanting while the other soldiers joined in. This is what he wanted, he wanted to be accepted, but at this point, it did not bring him joy. So much has happened and the death of Shane hurt more and more thinking of it. Enzo sat with the body of Shane i
โโOne downโโ Minister Francherster sent words across. Moon Crescent had not only won the battle but the war. โโWhat do we do now?โโ Kelis asked stepping out of his tent. The gammas were doing a total clean before the area turned into a decaying center. โโFind the vampire queen, the only tip I have is the dark hillsโโ Beta Enzo replied. Mrs Anderson may be a born vampire, but she was not from a royal family. Just like her husband, she has been power desperate making her surround herself with only people with similar thinking as her. Henrietta had not been the first. The vampire army was not just an army to be controlled by any reason why they had not been the one to attack. As the view of Altera came fort, Alpha Ben, Sarah, Paris, and Enzo watched from a good distance as Sofia Anderson all dressed up and ready for war launched for the Red Valley. The death of Keeper only made it easier for them to gain acess to the lands. โโThey are hereโโ Alpha Chase tells everyone. The ground tre
A dress containing more gold than the min, emandra had to put up with the heavy royal golden veil, as she dragged it along with her to the throne. It was only a matter of minutes before she could finally get out of it. As she walked up to her throne, Grandmother Reeker, stood on the front with a proud smile. Years it has been as she dreams of her grandbaby taking over, here her dream has finally become a reality. โโNo turning, butting, tweeting, swearing, cursingโโโ Emandra listened carefully. She was not sure she would be able to keep away from swearing but saying I do at the moment was more important. She could not wait to get out of her dress. โโI Emandra, hereby accept to be the queen of Altera. To rule with a just hand and mind, to put my people first, and the be an exemplary ruler for the sake of the people and the world. I do so swear to bring Altera to greater heightsโโ The scepter of royal handed to her by her grandmother shined in the room indicating acceptance. โโI he
โโWhat?โโ Emandra exclaimed as they all stared at each other, no one dared make a sound. โShane, what is going on?โโ Emandra turned to her brother who looked like he had so much to say. โโYou won't believe this, but the enemy has been closer than we all knew it from the very start. The Andersons are mixed.โโ Chase and emandra stared at him, not sure what he was talking about. โโWhat are you saying?โโ Alpha Chase asked impatiently. โโMr. Anderson has been married to a vampire all this while and their daughter Sofia Anderson is a ..โโ โโhybridโโ Emandra completed his words. Enzo was listening, he did not know when the coffee mug left his hands, but the shattering sound was enough to wake up Paris from sleep. โโWe are fuckedโโ Enzo cursed. โโThe great war is just within the horizon.โโ Shane whispers. Rushing to the dungeon, Alpha Chase walks in to meet their prisoners all seated drained and in pain. โโAlphaโโ the guards bow in respect. Unlike the others who were almost passed out,
Paris's hands went to her mouth as she tried hard not to scream. โโMissโโ the guard held her, taking her out of the room. If only he had known the content of the box. Beta Enzo walks in just in time to see the guard take Paris outside. โโWhat's wrong?โโ he asked, stepping closer, but Paris was too frightened to talk. โโBeta, someone delivered a packageโโ the guard tells him, pointing towards the direction of the smiling head. Enzo stood speechless at the sight before him. โโWrapp it up, and bury itโโ he instructed before walking out and taking Paris out of the area. โโโ Who would do such a thing? Why will they send it to me?โโ Paris had a thousand questions going through her mind, but there was no answer. She was not on good terms with Ursula but it did not dispute the fact, she was the only mother she had known for a very long time. โโSeeing that the package was not sent to Luna Emandra or Shane proves whoever sent it is aware of your relationship with Ursula. Why don't we visi
In the shadows of the night, Ursula crept her way towards the borders, she had so much to do with so little time left in her hands. She was looking for nothing but an escape route. It was time for her to write her mistakes. So much was happening in her life right now that she was not comfortable with. โโGotchaโโ she scrambled to her feets trying to gather herself. It was none other than Emand. โโWhat are you doing here?โโ Ursula asked glancing around. It was unlikely for Emand to be so far away from the mansion without anyone noticing her absence. Unlike the rest of them, she was the pet of the queen. Always seeking attention for relevance. Of Course, Ursula was aware of it, the reason why she had not shared her plans with her. โโLeaving without me?โโ Eman asked, visibly irritated. Ursula did not know how to defend herself. Yes, she was leaving and leaving without her. She had so much to take care of and one of it was warming her children. They might be only stepchildren to her but
โโ It is timeโโ a cold voice announced. Everyone in the room was well-armed and ready for war. โโWe can't go just yetโโ a painting Ursula walked and ran into the room breathless. She looked nothing like the mate of Albert, the mistress of the Carter mansion who adorned herself with expensive perfume and jewelry. In rags and her hair all out she was barely recognizable. โโWhat is it this time around?โโโ the leader asked, sounding pissed. She has been waiting for this moment for the longest time and now that I am finally here a maid of hers was standing in her way. She had zero tolerance for declaring. โโThey were caught, they were jailedโโ Ursula replied painting. โโWhat?... how can they be so foolish to allow themselves to be caught? Why do I always have to take care of everything personally?โโ Ursula did not say more. She steps out of the building. She could smell the disgusting stench coming from her body, if only she was allowed to bathe as much as she wanted like in the Carter
