When Alicma drew Marcelyn into the room, she looked around subtly to check out the room. She saw that the room was painted in the color blue, which complimented the older woman's eye color. A table and a single chair were occupying a corner of the room where the sunshine from the window hit the chair. Seated on the table was a vanity of the old decades that Marcelyn remembered well and she rushed over in excitement. When she remembered that the sun hit the place she was going to, she stopped midway and turned back, only to see that Darell's mother was staring at her.Alicma stared at the treasure that had introduced herself as her son's mate and she smiled wildly while taking in the woman's attributes. The shoulder-length bronze-colored hair flayed about her shoulder in a captivating manner. Her slender body would make any lady in the pack bow their head in surrender to her. Her glassy beady black eyes were, however, what captivated Alicma the most. She wondered the type of lineage
As he dropped the wet towel he had used to dry his hair on the bed, he remembered the first time Marcelyn had walked into his room and the drama that had ensued between them both. He smiled as he sat down on his bed. He couldn't believe that she had been gone for a month already. Even though he had tried to look for her secretively, he had failed to find her. He wondered if she was alright at the moment.It wasn't until after she left that he remembered the viral video speculating about her being a vampire. That was when he realized that he shouldn't have let her go at that period when her life could have been in imminent danger. When he had looked around for her and hadn't been able to find her, he had relaxed a little with the thought that if he couldn't find her, perhaps the public wouldn't be able to find her too. Also, the video trending about her every day had reduced significantly during the last month, which had added to his assurance that she should be okay.Darell swiped h
Still, Darrell was a little worried about what was going on with the pack. Even more, he was worried about how far away he was from the pack and had no single idea about what could have been the matter. Yes, Chris had assured him that everything was good, but Darrell knew that his beta would not have called if something beyond his capacity hadn't happened, and that was exactly the reason why he was worried. His phone beeped to indicate that he had a message, and Darrell took it from the stand to check what it was. He opened it the moment he saw that it was from the town leader's assistant."Alpha Darrell, a weird-looking lady just came around the town asking weird questions about the pack. We tried to hold her down, but no one knew where she went."A weird lady had been looking for him? Darrell thought. Had she found the pack? Was that why Chris asked him to report back home as soon as he could? Darrell thought about any of his lady friends who could have gone to his pack house to
Darell didn't bother to respond and went straight to the hall. When he had cut Marcelyn off from his life about a month ago, this had been what he had been trying to escape.He went to his seat and sat down to await the assembly of his elders. At the fifteen-minute deadline he gave them, everyone was already standing in the hall."Which one of you threw that woman into the dungeon despite knowing that she was my mate?" Darell asked them as he let his eyes bore into them one after the other."She's a vampire," his mother said to justify their actions."Yes, Alpha. How can a vampire be your mate?" one of the elders spoke up to support Alicma."Yes, she is a vampire and yes, she is my mate. Don't you all think that I know that?" Darell responded with fury."True, that's why I said that your mate was dead," the priest spoke up."Well, she's not getting out of prison. Not on my watch," Alicma said."Mom, the fact that she is my Luna should have made you respect her," Darell said, nearly sc
Whichever case it was among the three, she knew she wasn't going to just stay put until they came back for her. But what could she do to free herself with her body tied and a silver barricade hindering her? She twisted her body as if it would miraculously free her, but nothing happened. She tried to open the gate with her hands, but the silver burnt her palms, and she had to let go. Slowly, she crawled back to the inner circle of the room and patiently waited for the person who would make the mistake of coming to check on her. She could then mind-control the person into opening the gate and freeing her without them realizing it.She bent her head in resignation when she realized that she wouldn't be able to mind control anyone since she had not been fed from a human since she woke up. She had tried with those who had bundled her, but she hadn't been able to control them. Suddenly, she felt afraid - afraid that she could die in detention just because she had trusted the wrong pers
"Alpha, when we took her to the dungeon, she had no mark on her. So I don't know how she spotted the mark," the pack elder among the men answered. Darell willed his claws to grow. When his nails were fully elongated to their full length, he clawed the first man in front of him on the cheek. The man yelped in surprise from the pain he felt and promptly held his cheek. When Darell turned to face the rest of the men, they were very afraid and each took a few steps back from him. "Alpha!" Chris screamed at Darell, who didn't seem to hear his beta. "I'm not going to ask again after this time. If I don't get an answer, the next person dies," he told them all. "How did she get that mark on her cheek?" He asked and looked at the elder. "I truly don't know, Alpha," the elder said with fear. Darell lifted his hand and tried to bring it down on the next man, but his hand refused to come down. Darell turned around with fury and saw Chris holding his hand. "Let go of my hand, Chris," he told
Amanda pretended as if she were thinking about it. When she still hadn't given any answer, even after what felt like an eternity to Hannah, she responded on behalf of her mother."Yes, ma'am. I'm sure she would be delighted to do that," Hannah told their guest in her angelic voice.The two older women laughed over Hannah's enthusiasm toward the betrothal, but she didn't mind. After all these years of waiting, she was finally getting the one chance she had pleaded with the goddess to grant her, and she wasn't ready to let it go, no matter what."Since that is settled, I would like Hannah to return with me today itself. That is if it is okay with you, Amanda," Aimea said."Sure, dearest friend," Amanda replied to Aimea."In that case, I'll go get my wardrobe ready for the journey," Hannah announced to them. She got up from her sitting position, and swiped her hands on her clothes to smooth the wrinkles that sitting down had caused to the dress, then left the room to get her things ready
As she spoke, Darell was flooded by how fluent her diction was and how she spoke with so much grace. Coupled with her speech, she was also very attractive with her looks and her high sense of fashionable dressing. Her angelic voice also hooked him up, and he thought about how he would have easily accepted her as his mate if he didn't feel something already for Marcelyn.When she was done with the introduction of herself, Darell did the same thing, but he made sure that he only shared the basic things about himself that she could easily find out if she inquired. When he was done with the introduction, he saw Hannah cocked a brow at him in a manner that suggested that she had caught him red-handed in what he had just done. Darell shrugged his shoulders and smiled at her."Anyway, just take your time to know me if you wish since I am not in a rush, neither am I that eager, to be honest," Darell warned her."Fine by me," Hannah told him and got up from where she sat. She moved to Darell
