The sun was already setting by the time it was six and the people were getting impatient. Adrian had managed to push his way through the crowd that he was now almost at the front. He did that because he needed to hear everything that would be said. Unlike all the werewolves present, he didn't have super hearing ability, so there was no way he would have heard anything from the back. With the hoodie covering his face, he tucked his hands into his pocket, waiting for the Pentagon to come out.The sun had almost disappeared from the sky when the Pentagon made a grand entrance. With two alphas flanking him on each side, the grand alpha made his way out of the building and stood a good distance away from the people. Adrian raised his head to look at Calvin. He looked so different from how he looked on the night of the festival. His look commanded deep respect and he was exuding a frightening aura. Adrian had been in the same room as Roman, but he never felt this way with him. Calvin was
The three seconds silence that came after Lucille's announcement was deafening. All that could be heard was the low whispering of the wind. Then came the murmurs, arguments and soon there was an uproar. Some of the werewolves had guessed that something had happened to Roman as he hadn't made an appearance in a whole month, but never would they have guessed that their grand alpha was dead. How? When? And so many questions were flying around. The Pentagon tried to calm the people but the crowd was out of control. Considering how much noise was coming from the premises, some humans had gathered outside the gates. It was just impossible to get in as the the gate was heavily guarded by huge men who the humans couldn't have guessed were werewolves. From the gates, no one could have a clear view of what was going on in the parking lot. Inquisitive reporters had already been called but no human could pass through the barricade that the werewolves had put in place. "What happened to Roman
With each passing second, Calvin could feel his wolf getting furious because of how the people were reacting. He managed to keep a calm front, knowing that it would be bad if he reacted. The situation was already bad as it was and he didn't want things to escalate further.Even as they stood before the people, the Pentagon were brainstorming. They were thinking of a way to calm the crowd and get out of this mess but, nothing seemed to be coming to mind.They understood the grievances of the people. Having someone who wasn't a full-born werewolf as grand alpha was demeaning for their race and a mockery of everything they believed in. The Pentagon knew that, but they were not the ones who had made this choice and Calvin had not become the Alpha wolf out of his own will. Fully aware that curious humans were right outside, the Pentagon knew that they had to stop all the noise.Phiri decided to step forward and share her vision. She had thought about it and she didn't think anything else
Calvin sat alone in his home at Hayford. The upper part of his body was lying on the bed while his legs were touching the floor. All that kept him company was the darkness and the distant chirping of crickets outside. He tried not to focus on his thoughts, but he just couldn't brush them off.He could hear his phone buzzing with what seemed like endless notifications. He had seen that he had some unread messages from Charlene, but he was not in the mood to read them. On a second thoughts, he picked up the phone and saw that the recent text notification was from Tony. Calvin couldn't bring himself to even smile. He had missed his buddy. Tony was the only person he could call his friend since he arrived in this city. Well, that was before the Pentagon showed up at his doorstep.Calvin opened Tony's message and he read it to himself with a halfhearted smile on his face. Tony expressed worry for him. He had noticed that he had been missing classes and basketball practice. He claimed to h
John Hayford charged his daughter to get closer to Calvin and find out about his capabilities."We are going to use his interest in you to our advantage" he had said, but Charlene wasn't paying him any attention. She was getting sick of being her father's pawn. Why did everything have to be to his advantage? Why couldn't she, for once, be in control of her own life?Couldn't her father see that she was actually interested in Calvin? Couldn't he see that, for the first time, someone caught her fancy? Didn't he think of the possibility that they were toying with someone that could be her mate?She had heard everything that her brother had reported but the only information that stuck to her were the parts that Calvin was not originally a werewolf and because of that, he had been rejected. She imagined how devastated Calvin would be and she finally understood why he hadn't been responding to her texts. She wished she could go to him. She wished she could hold and encourage him. Charlen
Phiri couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was this what all the questions were about? Calvin's past? She looked down at Lucille's outstretched hand. She was supposed to take that hand, shaking it to seal a pact. But Phiri was not interested, so she tucked her hands into her pockets."We have better things to worry about than uncovering the grand alpha's past" Phiri said.Lucille dropped her hand with a faint smile on her lips. Judging by the look on Phiri's face, it was evident that she wasn't going to change her mind. "I guess I'll be doing this alone then" Lucille said as she took a seat. "Why are you fussing over this?" Phiri asked. She really wanted to know what Lucille was playing at. She had known the woman long enough to know that she was only interested in a smoke with hidden fire.Lucille ignored the question as she slowly twirled on the office chair she was sitting on. It wasn't long afterwards that Mark and Rufus arrived. "So you're here already?" Rufus asked Lucille,
Staring deep into Charlene's watery eyes, Calvin could feel the rush of a multitude emotions as he listened to her. He couldn't remember anyone ever offering him a shoulder to lean on but here she was, an epitome of beauty and kindness, spreading her arms, inviting him into her embrace.Calvin took the cue and moved closer, immersing himself in her warm embrace. He instinctively inhaled her scent as she pulled him closer. He sighed, noting that she smelled of lavender and camomile. Great combination of fragrance, he thought. He felt himself relax as Charlene slowly ran her slender fingers up his neck and into his hair, softly massaging it. Calvin didn't realize when a satisfied sigh escaped his lips. He let him himself sink into the comforts of a woman's hug and soon, he had his head on her thighs, hugging them like his life depended on it. Now resting his head on her thighs, Calvin could feel the light weight of her soft bosom pressing down on his face and he was suddenly conscious
By the time Charlene arrived home, she was more furious than when she had left Calvin's house. She just couldn't stomach the fact that her seduction plan had been unsuccessful. Calvin's hesitation felt like a slap and just thinking about it made her face twist in annoyance.She didn't hate him though. She was only going to try again and that was a rough strike on her ego. Adrian had been looking for his sister all morning and when he saw her car pulling up at the front of the house, he hid himself, waiting to startle her. However, he changed his mind when he saw what Charlene was wearing. He was pretty sure that no club would be open that early so where could she be coming from? She was also looking flushed and he could tell that it was out of exertion. Adrian couldn't help asking himself what this sister of his had been up to. Charlene was already close to the entrance door when her brother just came out of nowhere, startling her. "What are you doing, Adrian?" She screeched. "I'v
