The pack house was as silent as a graveyard until Elder John spoke. "Take it easy, alpha. What if it was an outsider?" He asked.
"What impertinent question is this, Elder?" He asked, keeping his tone as calm as possible. But, he was infuriated by the dumb question asked by John. "An outsider does not have the impudence to come in here and do this. No outsider was recorded by the sentinels before the wedding. What happened last night was done by an insider, and there is no disputing that," Grey said, and turned back to face the pack members."Whoever committed that degradation of last night should own up to it by tomorrow or else..." He said, his eyes spitting fire, and his tone venomous, as he stared at them one after the other. "Dismiss," he waved his hand, and the pack members dispersed, each of them thoughts racing. Only the elders were still present, including Zing, Jayden and the gamma chief, Hillard.Vivian shrugged as she placed her hands in theMaya walked into the room, and Grey was standing by the window. His back was turned against hers until he heard her close the door. Maya leaned on the closed door with a sigh, as Grey looked at her. "Grey..." She began to speak but he cut her short. "Why did you go against my wish?" He demanded. She moved away from the door. "It is a pack tradition, and it seems there's no escaping it," she said. "To hell with that!" Grey's tone levitated. "I was against it, and you should have respected that," he said angrily. She stared at him. "I don't have to answer to you," she replied, and attempted to walk away from him. He grabbed her arm, and pulled her back roughly. "This should be the last time you'll attempt to walk out on me," he said, his tone dangerously low. "Do you know what you've gotten yourself into?" He asked her in anger. "It's nothing that I can't handle," she replied with a defiant chin. He let go of her infuriated as he lifted his hands mid air in annoyance. "What the h
Maya got back into the kitchen and began to dish out the Creole gumbo she had prepared, into small deep ceramic plates. Arranging them in trays according to how many elders would be present in the dining room with the inclusion of Grey, Zing, and the gamma chief, Hillard. The omegas were to serve themselves and the rest of the pack after she was done.Gwen opened the kitchen door. "The elders are here, including the alpha and the beta," Gwen told her, and Maya inhaled."Okay, I think I'm good to go," she replied."Um, Vivian is at the table too," Gwen told her with a sorry look on her face.Maya braced up. "It's fine. I'll just dish out for one more," she responded with a nervous smile. After dishing out for Vivian, she walked out of the kitchen and into dining room.
His change in demeanor took everyone aback, and the atmosphere in the dining room was tensed, and was silent as a graveyard. He stared at them one after the other, his eyes daring them to utter one more word. They contemplated on what was going on in his mind, what he would say, and it killed them the more when his eyes did the talking. His eyes accusing each of the elders of having a hand in what was going on at the moment.This was one of the moments Grey's silence was greatly feared. When a man who said only a few words was silent, they knew it was perilous. He has been provoked."I sat here without saying a word, watching you all bash your Luna on a failed test, and I did not react," he said, his anger was on a thin line that was about to snap. "What I would not tolerate is your disrespect to her. Not only did you deem it fit to accuse her, you all disregar
Gwen turned to walk out of the pack house when she bumped into Grey. "Alpha," she shuddered. "I'm so sorry, alpha. I did not see you coming," she stuttered apologetically.He waved her aside and was about to leave when he noticed the plate in her hand. "What are you holding?" He asked her."Oh," she exclaimed in realization. "The Luna wanted me to have a taste of the gumbo she prepared if it was fit to be served to the elders and everyone else," she explained with a bit of tremor in her voice."Let me have a look," Grey said to her, and she handed the plate to him. He took a little from it and tasted it. His eyes widened in surprise but he immediately masked it from Gwen. He handed the plate to her and turned to leave, but stopped, having a double thought. "Gwen?" He said.
The sun rays filtered into the room, resting on Maya's face, and she fluttered her lashes, forcing her eyes open. She stifled a yawn with the back of her hand, and felt Grey's warmness on her skin. His body was pressed against her back as he cuddled her to himself.Maya readjusted herself as she carefully removed his hand from her body. She tried to leave the bed, but he pulled her back, and she fell on him, her breasts squaring on his bare chest. She gasped at the impact, and his hand was on her back. "Where are you going?" He asked her, his eyes half closed."Um, the bathroom," Maya said, finding it difficult to respond. She had thought he was deep in slumber and would not realize she had left his arms."Ditching your husband so early in the morning, I see," Grey feigned disappointment, and Maya could feel heat ri
It was evening, and Maya was already out of the bathroom in preparation for the ball. Gwen walked into the room with a smile on her face. "Ready to be the most beautiful at the ball, Luna?" She asked.Maya chuckled. "Enough with the flattering, Gwen. I'm going because Grey insisted I must go," she said, as she walked over to wardrobe, to bring out the dress and lay it out on the bed. "And i think the dress is too amazing to be sitting in the wardrobe for long," she added, as she pulled out the dress. Gwen gasped, but Maya did not take note of the shock in her voice. "It's beautiful, right?" She asked, smiling as she closed the wardrobe."It's...ruined," she said, holding the hem of the dress."What?" Maya was baffled by her words, as she turned the dress over to have a look at it. She was stunned. The dress had been
Grey's eyes were full of appraisal as Maya walked down the stairs. She inhaled as she got closer to him, noting his well tailored suit, and a white handkerchief folded neatly in his pocket. The inner white sleeves he wore was unbuttoned down to his chest, showing his well muscled chest.He stretched forth his hand, she placed hers in his, and he placed a kiss on it. "You're breathtaking." He said and a feeling of warmth crept inside of her."Thank you," she muttered.He pulled her closer to himself, and whispered in her ear. "You're so beautiful, I'm having a rethink. I just want to head upstairs with you right now and forget about the ball," he said softly in her ear which sent pleasant shivers down her spine, and she was too nervous to say a thing.He placed a kiss on
"Fight all you want, Verne, you won't be able to rescue her!" One of the guard angels yelled."How could you do this?! Y'all claim to be heavenly angels and gods, and you commit such atrocities, yet you accuse us of being heartless demons!" Verne yelled vehemently. His eyes turning crimson red."Verne," Alyssa called him weakly, and he turned in her direction, hurrying over to her, his eyes returning back to normal. He tried to get passsd the barrier, but could not."Once a person is in the no one else can get in until the lightning strikes ends," the guard angel said, with a mocking smile."No," Verne was agitated as he hit the transparent sphere hard."I'll be... fine," Alyss
