Ana walked into their living room, catwalking like a model on stage. For the first time in her dull month, like she had said, she had worn a wide, genuine smile. After she had given up and thought that she was not lucky, the way towards her destiny opened on its own without her trying to push it or work hard. She held her head high and waved at the worker’s as she slumped herself on the couch.The maids had started gossiping, asking each other what had happened to her since they were used to her being in a sour mood. She always yelled at them and called them names whenever she visited her parents, but for the first time since they had known her, she hadn’t dared yell at them."What good thing had happened?" They asked each other, peering into the living room, in fear she may change her sweet mood into a sour one when she spots them peering at her."I’m supposed to ask you the same question." She seems happy."Another one whirled back, biting her nails in thought."Mmmh, couldn’t it be
Ana skipped back to the palace, singing at the top of her lungs. She was indeed the happiest girl on the whole planet. When she went home to convince her father, she thought that maybe he would refuse her request, saying that it was impossible. But now that she had his word and he trusted him, she knew her dream would be fulfilled soon."Hey Kelvin! Hey Peter! Hey Harriet! Hey Patrilia!" She greeted them when she found them sitting beside the pool with bowls of popcorn. They only scoffed and asked her to scram, which she did without throwing a word or two like she always does."This bitch is definitely cooking something up." Harriet said after Ana left, stuffing some popcorn in her mouth."Of course. She can’t be happy for no reason. I mean, we have all seen how heartbroken and sad she has been since her dirty deeds were brought to light, and she is suddenly jumping around. "I don’t trust her either." Kelvin backed her up, frowning."Was Elinda telling the truth?" Peter asked them aft
The emergency meeting called by Alpha Rasmore was attended by all the packs' soldiers along with the sniffer wolves. The issue about then purchasing a plot of land at their neighborhood eastern pack had accelerated, and that pack's Alpha wouldn't agree to the fact that his father had sold that part to Alpha Rasmore. What he wanted was for Alpha Rasmore's men, who were building a wall to divide their territory, to stop all the activities going on there and leave his territory.Alpha Rasmore, Beta Hashmuk, and some elders of the pack had visited their pack for a meeting, but Alpha Aura wouldn't listen to them. Even though they had carried along the written contract that had his father's signature stating that he had sold that part, he wouldn't listen. After a long time of alpha Rasmore asking him to accept the fact that the land was sold to him and it would never belong to him again, he agreed to let the matter go, but beta Hashmuk had warned that he had a feeling that the Eastern pack'
"But Ras, you promised to support my relationship with Kelvin." "What has suddenly gone wrong?" Hashmuk asked on the verge of tears. Kelvin was still standing, frozen to his feet, wondering what fate had to do with his relationship with Hashmuk. He had no idea Hashmuk was planning to marry him, and before he could process it all, Alpha Rasmore shocked him again by saying Hashmuk would not marry him."I promised you, Hashmuk, but I’ve changed my mind." He said this while eating some of the pancakes Kelvin had snatched from his hands. Hashmuk was bitter with what he had just said, and Kelvin had squeezed himself into a corner and was crying, so neither of them jumped to snatch the pancakes away from him.He must admit that they were indeed delicious. Even though they were badly cooked, at least he was able to have a taste of Karen’s style of cooking after so many years."I must say they are indeed delicious." He spoke with a mouth full of them. Hashmuk was still looking at him with a sh
Elders stormed the palace court, led by Ana's father, Elder Farnacis. He had a wide grin on his face since he was now sure that his dream was going to come true. He was going bankrupt; a few of his cars and businesses were already taken away by the banks he owed, and now he was left with nothing. He could only show off a yellow old truck, which he now drives around the pack and the candy company registered in her daughter's name. A person like him, who used to swim in trillions of dollars, now feels like he has taken a deep leap into the sea and is drowning with each passing day.He desired to reclaim his wealth; he desired to be the man whom his fellow elders would always look up to; he desired to be the man who would not hesitate to empty his pockets whenever people were summoned for harambees or anything else.He aspired to be the guy who, when he walks into any pub in the world, drunkards will tremble, bow, and kowtow to his feet and fight for a good place in his heart because he w
"That’s not going to happen, Kelvin." From behind him, a shrill, angry voice yelled, startling him. He jumped in fright and was one inch from hitting his forehead on the wall beside him, but Hashmuk lifted him, pulling him back to his arms."What the hell, Harriet?" He frowned, pinching his nose in annoyance. "You know better than anyone that I don’t like it when people sneak up on me, jeez!" He sighed, his hands running through his naturally tangled ginger and brown hair."Of course I know that; how can I forget it?" She scoffed with both her hands folded across her chest. "You know I am such a good friend, Kelvin!" She praised herself in such a sarcastic way."Of course you are, and that's why you crept up on me, isn't it?" He scoffed back with a raised eyebrow. "What’s wrong with you anyway, Harriet?" "You're acting as if I stole something precious from you." He asked as he took a step back from her.She was fuming and glaring at him with expressionless eyes. He had no idea what was
Harriet sniffed, closing the door behind her. She couldn’t tell whether it was her becoming possessive or Kelvin who had started forgetting about them. They had taken an oath the day Karen Milburn succeeded in bringing them together, and they swore that no matter what happens to their lives, no matter how hard they will one day fight each other, no matter the new people they are bound to meet in their lives, they will always stick together, fly together, and always be there for each other.Kelvin had always been the first person to give her a birthday gift, to plan a party for her, and to console her each year on the anniversary of her parents' deaths. Kelvin was like the angel she had always sought—an angel who made sure that she had always been okay and that nothing would go wrong on her side. But Kevin was no longer interested in her. He'd changed, and she had no idea whether it was because he wanted to be serious about his life or because he met Hashmuk and forgot about them."May
Harriet shoved her hands deep into her trouser pockets as she walked to the cementry. The sky above her cleared because of the moon, which accompanied her there, smiling as if assuring her that what she was about to do was good and super perfect and she didn't have to worry. The stars glitter, twinkling every time she raises her head to marvel at their beauty, as if they were her security. The fear she was feeling had already subsided, and she felt a little better.The wind blew her hair away, and she had to stop to remove the few strands that had been blown into her mouth and eyes. After thinking for a while, she removed the hairband around her wrist and tied her hair into a high ponytail when Karen's words of advice rang in her ears, reminding her of what she had forgotten."Whenever you're out there alone, don't let your hair flow freely." Always tie it so that if someone sneaks behind you for an attack, he or she will be unable to do so because most of them tend to grab the hair.
