It's been a long while since I last updated this story 🤦... I feel terrible and I'm sorry 😔. I miss my characters so much and like you, I'm wondering when Liza will launch fully into her world.
Evening came upon us quickly and as I sat down having a chit chat with Oriel on the other end of the phone, a knock came on the door.“Are we expecting a visitor?” Chris asked“I have no idea as to what this is about. We haven't even showed ourselves to the Alpha and Luna yet,” I wondered too“I guess we should have done that the moment we came in,” Chris responded and stood on his feet He walked to the door, flung it open gently and brushed whoever was outside with a smile.They mumbled some words and I didn't pay attention, Chris would take care of that.“Who is that?” Oriel asked over the phone “I have no idea, my dear. I mean, we just came in today.” I responded “Exactly my point. Can it be that you guys already have people spying on you?” She asked with a shocking expression Drama queen, “Oriel, take it easy. I think it's because words spread around quickly over here. It's a place where people don't like to mind their business, after all,” I nubbed her question.“That makes s
Liza's POV The drive to the apartment was calm and refreshing. Chris made sure he had something to say every minute.“Do you think I scared him?” I asked Amma who has been skeptical about my journey to Spring Pack.“Didn't he take it well?” She threw me a question rather than an answer.“What are you afraid of Amma?” I needed her to spill the tea. What's that thing making her not to be fully committed?I thought she was on my side. “Have you thought about the reception that awaits you?” She asked.Who cares about the reception? I have what it takes to make sure this plan is a success.It's a win-win for myself and my brother. Maybe this is why the Moon Goddess sent me to Glassland? Is she not seeing? “Are you talking about Zoe?” I enquired.“You don't expect her to have changed, do you?” She asked and I was getting tired of the different shades of questions that we keep throwing at each other.I know she's worried for me. But knowing that she's with me is more than enough for me. I
Chris' POV “You okay?” “Can I help you with something?”I asked worriedly the instant I noticed her body stiffen up the moment our car came in contact with the ambiance of the land.“Do you want me to stop for a while?” I asked when she didn't say a word.“Liza, are you with me? Do you want to go back?” I questioned.Her silence had me a bit worried more than her body reaction.I brought the car to a halt and packed beside the path that led to our destination.My hand gently held hers and it was at that moment she became conscious of her environment.“What's wrong? Do you have something on your mind? You want to talk about it?” I asked and she just shook her head.“Listen, I held her two hands that looked like a baby's hand, fitting perfectly into my palms “If you don't want to do this, I won't push it. You already have a lot on your plate and then leaving your father alone, I know that's nothing small to you. I know how much you love being around him,” I hate to see her that way
Leo's POV “You don't have to go alone, you know?” Derek raised his brows to punctuate his words.“Really? Ohhh goodness, I didn't know that,” I replied mockingly.“Thank you for this rare wisdom,” a hiss escaped my lips as I sat on the couch.“You are welcome,” he responded with a grin and I shot him a deadly glare.“Just pray that this event is worth my time. If not? I won't take it lightly with you,” I threatened.“And who knows? Maybe this is exactly what you need right now,” he retorted.“The event is just for a night even though I don't see the need for this event, but it won't bite for people to see your face out there,” he said like I had been some caveman who nobody knows.“What do you mean? I don't need anyone to see my face,” I cautioned.“Right, you don't. But people have to. There are too many misconceptions about who you are and how you truly look.“They have the idea of a monster pictured in their minds. One who probably eats other wolves without blinking an eye. “Arro
Zoe's POV “He was one out of one. He was brave and fought a good fight.”“He was loved by all.”“He protected her with all his might.”“Let's hope this new one will do half of what he did.”Different words have been flying around the Pack since Dad passed on.It's painful that he's gone, but not as painful as not being there when he breathed his last.I wanted to tell him to greet Liza, his daughter when he gets to her side.Now that he's gone? I can finally breathe and not be worried about his constant blabbing.Today, it's - I want to investigate what happened to Liza. Next, it's - where is the maid who witnessed Liza do such a heinous act?But now? I can rest assured that this Pack is mine and mine alone.I could only feel this way after getting rid of all the information he had on the occurrence.I couldn't believe my eyes when I went into his drawer to help him pick up some clothes while he was lying down at the clinic.My hands fidgeted when I saw the file, labeled -confidentia
Leo's POV“When next am I seeing her?” That question has become a music on repeat to my hearings.“Honey, you should see the beauty he brought home the other day,” she recounted for Dad.I sat across from her at the table having breakfast. Once in a while, I dine with my parents.Well, I would prefer not to, because it's either we are talking about me bringing my mate or how they don't expect me to be frolicking around.And since Mum set her eyes on Liza, it's been another story entirely.“She's sweet and beautiful. I couldn't take my eyes off her,” she smiled as she sipped her drink.“That means she's still as charming as the last time I saw her,” Father added and Mum nodded in agreement.“You can say she's more beautiful. I've always known she'd grow up to be a sweet woman, but I didn't know Leo-”“Mum,” I cut in. “You didn't know and you still don't know anything, please.” I rolled my eyes and she scoffed at me.“Well, since you've decided not to hold your wedding ceremony or the
Chris' POV “Twenty years ago, a few years after Liza was born. On a rainy day, an uninvited and unexpected guest visited-”Alpha Nicholas had started his narrations about how he had always known who my father was.A sudden rush of anger hooked me in my seat.And all I could think of the whole night was the unveiling truth that sucks.“So, a woman had dropped me in your pack and you allowed her?” I asked in total annoyance “She didn't stay. If she did, I would have asked her to leave with you, but she didn't,” I wiped my eyes with my palms “She dropped you at my doorstep in the middle of the night and left. It was not until morning that I was told about you,” he tried to make it sound less trivial “Why didn't you just throw me away then? Why?” He sighed in-depth, “Because I couldn't do it Chris. Liza was so happy to have someone she could call a brother around her,” he sounded hurt.I hate that. I should be the one hurting and not him.“I later looked into the woman that dropped y
“Now… I get that, but how is Chris the son of an Alpha and he's… he's…”Oriel couldn't bring closure to her statement, she stammered as her fingers pointed right to Chris.“It's a long story, my dear,” Dad said, expecting that that would take away the well of curiosity in Oriel.I held my breath in shock. Chris is my brother?The urge to hug him tight and ask how he's been doing for the past twenty years sprouted within me.Yet, I couldn't say a word, I couldn't bring myself to look in his direction. My emotions ran wild and I felt so sorry I wasn't a part of his childhood.The plan was to be a present sister. A sister who would love her brother to the moon and back, but that plan never saw the dawn of the day.Just like we are having dinner tonight, it was the same setting years back.Just a family of three, myself, Dad and Mum. Enjoying a nice meal and each other's company.“Who do you love most between Da and Mum?” Dad asked over dessert “Dad and Mum,” I replied with my focus on
Liza's POV It was not strange that Dad asked everyone to be present at tonight's dinner.“This dinner has always been a ritual in the family,” Amma informed me when I asked why we always had to have dinner together once everyone was around.Chris lives a stone's throw from us, and whenever he isn't out working, he must show up for dinner.As for Oriel? She only misses dinner when she's not around or out with friends.But tonight, she had to cancel her plans because Dad demanded that we all be present.“Do you think Oriel would like the dress I got for her?” I asked Amma“She likes bright colours, I'm sure she'd love them, and who can tell, she might be busy blushing and gushing over the dress now,” Amma calmed me downJust right on time, Oriel shrieked in excitement “Liza… this is so beautiful,” she ran over and held me in a tight hug that I had to beg her not to choke me I rolled my eyes once she released the grip. “I figure you'd want a new dress for dinner,” I smiled“Of course,
