Chapter 43: Luna’s stand. Ashley. I stood with Jasper as we both watched Monica and the rest of the pack as they stood, fiercely facing us. I wasn’t so sure of the outcome of the activity. My heart raced as I tried to focus my stare on Monica while she furrowed her brows and her hands clenched. I saw the hatred in their eyes and the urge to retaliate, nothing more mattered to them than spilling blood. Uncle Jasper was way older than I, and he in fact the oldest in the pack, he needed to speak, but as the Luna of the pack, I needed to stand my ground and find. “Monica, please, you’ll have to hear me out, this isn’t the time to fix blames, you just have to understand that the deed has been done and trust me, we aren’t here to make things get worse, I must confess, I feel so sorry and worried that the Alpha’s death was as a result of his daughters Nonchalant attitude.” I voiced, my voice wavering as I exhaled. Fear engulfed me as I watched her burst into laughter. “Do you think I am
Chapter 42: Factions. MonicaThe place was quiet. We all folded our hands and wore our black garments as four werewolves brought in Boris’ body in the coffin. Everything felt so awkward and different. I felt a different energy—like that wasn’t how it’s supposed to be. I was totally out of the plan. My heart raced as they brought it closer. I tried to withhold the tears, my head spinning as I watched them drop the body on the table. My hands clenched and I took one last deep breath. I felt a hand hold me, it was warm. “Keep calm, sister, he’s going to be avenged.” Eunice whispered as she watched steadily. I observed the marks on him. The bruises and the pain he had to feel before giving up the ghost. I felt dead, a living dead. Simon, his beta, walked up to me. His eyes were compelling and cold as he sighed. “It’s time…” he whispered—soothingly. I exhaled. I found it difficult to utter a single word, my eyes were heavy as I wiped the tear balls which formed with my left hands. “
Chapter 41: The twist to death Claire. I couldn’t hold the stare. He was so handsome, his jawline and his muscular looks. His beards, his triceps which turned me on as hell. He raised his left brow and pushed his chest outward, showcasing his male dominance, that made me fall even more for him. “Someone should please talk to me, what’s the big deal I’m telling me what’s happening?” “Tony, I know why I had to tell you this in private…” “Which also raises a whole lot of suspicion in all these, I just heard my name immediately I walked into the hospital ward, and please, Maggie said she’s hungry, we’ve got to find something for her to eat, she’s with the other girls in the waiting room,” “What?! She’s not supposed to leave your sight, you know we’re not even safe here,” “What do you mean by that, I’m telling you to trust the 14-year-old, you told me yourself that she’s the strongest wolf and she even proved it with her strength, she killed her own father who happens to be the Alph
Chapter 40: Tony (1) Ashley[At the hospital] “How do you expect me to accept that fate? That Boris is dead, as we speak?” I asked. My face squeezed and accompanied with frustration as my heart beat increased. “Ash, we don’t have a choice, the pack’s divided and we don’t have to get back to that house. Monica and the rest of them are going to slaughter us into pieces. We’ll have to leave this goddamn hospital today else they may re-strategize and come hunting us. They’re grieved their brother and Alpha is dead…” “Claire, at least he’s my husband too, my mate.” “Buh from all indications, his 14-year-old daughter killed him.” “Claire, that was a mistake , Medeina was only trying to defend me and then…” “But no one would see it that way, they need you out of the picture and not even Maggie, maybe they’ll have some other plan for her but trust me. Monica would corrupt their minds and make them do her bidding. It’s more like she’s the Alpha now. And you know what they say about powe
Chapter 39: Monica’s plan Monica“Get out of here now! You bitch!” I queried one of the maidens who poured a drink mistakenly. It was one of the biggest mistakes of her life because I saw almost giving her a dirty slap. “I’m sorry my lady, I just didn’t think straight, maybe I’ll have to do the right thing next time,” she voiced. Her eyes dimly gazing at the water on the ground as she stood in freight. I was totally disappointed in her to the extent that I stood to my feet with rage. My eyes flashing with aggression and my fist dashing to the corner of her face that she bent to pick up the tray. “Come on, are you okay? Why the hell would you want to just…” I gave her a dirty slap right away. She screwed out loud and right there and then fell to the ground. It was a very horrible experience for her. I tried my best to let her see reasons why and she still let me speak even further. Eunice saw this and moved towards me quickly. She held my hand right away and stared at me. “Come on
Chapter 38: Time altered. Ashley. “Mom? Are you alright?” I heard her gentle voice call out to me. It was all a dream. “What do you mean? Why am I here? Maggie? You were…” “Mom, relax, there’s actually no cause for alarm. What’s the reason for all these? You tried everything possible to redeem yourself, but thanks to the moon goddess you’re safe,” Maggie replied. Her face dazzled with a smile as she nodded and turned to the table. I watched her as she mixed a whitish substance which I suspected was a drink. I tried everything in my power to take full control of the whole situation but at the moment before she passed the cup to me. “Here you go mom,” she voiced—soothingly. “That’s alright, I replied, my eyes darting to the corners of the walls as I tried to understand the whole scenerio. “Where’s Arch? Where’s your father? What happened and why the hell am I here? Magaret is this also going to end up being a dream?” I asked, curiosity engulfing me as I held the cup.“Mom, you a
