Months flew past like seconds and one night, Irene's loud screams woke the entire castle. She was in labour. Withy how dramatic she was, hse made life a living hell even for the Alpha King who'd had two children with me and never had to suffer so much with me. "I am dying!" She screamed, scratching, punching and kicking everyone and everything in her way. The midwife and nurses quickly arrived at Irene's chambers, trying their best to calm her down and carry her to the delivery room. It was a difficult task, as Irene continued to thrash around, screaming and cursing everyone in sight.Finally, they managed to get her to the delivery room, where she was immediately immersed in a large basin of warm water. Irene had insisted on a water birth, as she claimed it was the most natural and pain-free way to give birth. But as the contractions intensified, she began to regret her decision.The midwife and nurses did their best to support her through the labor, but it soon became clear that th
Attus put a comforting arm around me. "I'm sorry you've been going through all of that," he said. "But you're not alone. I'm here for you, and so are your friends and family."I leaned into him, feeling grateful for his support. "I know," I said. "But sometimes it feels like that's not enough. I feel like I'm trapped here, with no escape."Attus was quiet for a moment, deep in thought. Then he spoke."I know we can't change everything that's going on in the castle," he said. "But we can try to make things better, in our own small way. We can spend more time together, and with our friends. We can support each other, and be there for each other."I looked up at him, feeling hopeful for the first time in a while. "You're right," I said. "We can do that. And maybe, in time, things will get better."Attus smiled at me, his brown eyes warm and reassuring. "I believe they will," he said. "We just have to take things one day at a time, and be there for each other along the way."I nodded, fee
I'm thinking of leaving Xavier again."I said at the nail salon with Mila and Ellen, and they looked over at me with pity in their eyes." Don't look at me like I said I'll drink acid, girls!" I said, and they blinked."The Irene problem, huh?" Mila asked, and I nodded sadly."I don't want to resort to making her life miserable," I replied. "But I just can't take it anymore. She's always making snide remarks and trying to one-up me. And don't even get me started on the baby. It's like Xavier has completely forgotten about me and everything we had."Mila and Ellen exchanged a knowing glance. "Look, we get it," Ellen said. "But have you considered giving Xavier another chance? Maybe he just needs some time to come around and realize how much he's hurting you.""I've given him plenty of chances," I retorted. "But it's like he doesn't care. And as for Irene, I don't
As I continued on my way, I realized that this was one of the most fulfilling experiences I had had in a long time. Helping to bring people together and create a sense of unity was truly rewarding.But my work was not yet done. There were still external threats to the castle, and we needed to be prepared for anything that might come our way.One day, as I was walking through the castle, I heard the sound of horns in the distance. I immediately ran to the walls to see what was happening.In the distance, I could see a group of raiders approaching the castle, their banners waving in the wind. The guards on the walls were scrambling to prepare for the attack.I knew that we had to act quickly. I raced to the queen's chambers to inform her of the impending attack. She quickly assembled her advisors and knights, and we began to prepare for the defense of the castle.The knights were ready and eager for battle, and the peasants were doing their part as well. They had been trained in basic c
I nodded, feeling grateful for her words. "I know, but I just don't know what to do. I feel so trapped."Becky leaned in, her voice soft and reassuring. "You're not trapped, sis. You always have options, even if they're not immediately clear. And remember, the only way to move forward is one step at a time."I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of clarity wash over me. "You're right. I need to take things one step at a time. And right now, that means figuring out how to make things better for myself."Becky smiled, her eyes filled with pride. "That's the spirit. We'll figure it out together. And if you need to stay here for a while, that's perfectly fine. You're always welcome here."I nodded, feeling a sense of relief. "Thank you, Becky. I don't know what I would do without you."We spent the rest of the day talking, laughing, and reminiscing about old times. And as the sun began to set, I felt a sense of hope, of optimism for the future. I knew that I still had a long road ahead of
"She's cursed!" My glassy eyes ran around the hall as everyone backed away from me, and my heart was clouded with confusion. How did things get this way? I was born on a rare moon and this was a sign that I was going to be an early bloomer who was going to awaken her wolf at a young age, because of this my parents treated me like an egg, especially my father the Beta of the Greymoon pack. I was dotted upon, however, for my sister was born on a bad moon and everyone said that she was going to bring misfortune to the pack. But I didn't believe any of them. I loved my sister dearly and I would often defend her against those that would bully her. If anyone told me that I would become the object of scorn in her place I would have never believed it. If anyone had looked me in the eyes and said;"Clara, you are going to be viciously despised by your entire park and even your own family, I wouldn't have believed it." But it happened. And I wasn't ready for it. Some months befo
As the clock was getting closer to 12 I could feel the muscle spasms getting worse and my blood was suddenly boiling. I have been told that this was going to be a painful process especially since my body was still young and developing. "Argh!" I grunted, ripping my arm with the fingers on the other one.They said that the pain would only last the first time and then shifting it into my wolf would be a natural thing that I could do in the flick of a finger. And then when the clock finally hit 12 I fell down on my knees on all fours, and began to rub my head, tipped over to the roof and pointed at the moon one after the other. They began to fall after me and they were all lifting their heads and growling towards the moon. Bones around me snapping as if they were merely broomsticks under somebody's pressing fingers as I was struggling to do it and I bumped into somebody while my legs staggered. The hall and the faces around us began to spin until they melted into each other as i
Despite knowing that he was a rougue and that I was q bit far away from home in woods that are not familiar to me, I was so taken aback by how handsome he was. A scar ran from his right eye to the bottom of his chisel chain but that still didn't reduce his beauty rather it made him look more handsome in a fierce way. "Are you done gawking at me?" That was when I finally realised that I've been looking at him like an idiot, but I was trying to back away from him. He placed his hand that was free on my waist and held me closer to his chest. "Come on since you have gotten the chance to look at me then I should get to look at you a little bit. His finger left my chin and then went over to my neck sending shivers all over my body and then it ran into my hair giving me the unpleasant memory that it was now silver. "Silver hair huh?" that was the most relaxed expression that had gotten over my head the entire night, then suddenly I was remembering the man with the blue eyes. Suddenly
