"Queen mother please calm down! It's not good for your health…look you BP is rising" Marah said as fought the queen mother down. After what happened Yesterday she was acting hyper. She was pale and her blood pressure was rising.
"I told you that nobody will accept him" the queen was restless knowing that her grandson won't be married to anyone due to his condition. Everyone shunned him for being crippled. Not even unmarried girls wanted him.What will happen to the Kingdom and the pack now?Her other grandson was nothing but a loose rag…a greedy person with no goals and can ruin the Kingdom."You don't have to worry, Alpha Pharrell will find his mate. Now please calm down. I can't allow the Alpha to have my head" she was trying to calm her down but to no avail."Let me tell you a secret…Alpha Pharrell can…" she couldn't finish her words when the door was opened harshly."Marah…do you still want to live another day in the castle?" She shook at the sight of the crippled Alpha. This guy is ruthless even in his wheelchair. Not many were going to live if he were to rule. But, above all, he had a heart of Gold."Hello Queen…I heard you're making a fuss. Can I know what has gotten my Queen" Pharrell wheeled his chair towards his grandmother and gestured for Marah to stand aside."Oh charmer…I'm going to die soon. I have to find you a mate soon… but everyone treats you like a monster" she wailed. It was the first time seeing his grandmother cry after his mother's death."Don't worry my Queen, I'll find a mate for myself …or you can find her for me. Again since the goddess doesn't have any heart to give me a mate. Or better yet just hire one" he chuckled. "You really mean it? But, I thought you still wanted her" The Queen sniffed lightly as Pharrell kept on wiping her tears. She couldn't do anything when her grandson wanted the girl he had been obsessing over. When Philips told her yesterday that Pharrell wanted her and only her, she was really worried.But, now hearing him say she should choose any girl for him to be his mate, made her heart flutter."Yes. Now take your medication so that you'll go to those charity events you always go to at the village." He smiled and fed her her medication."You're a good kid charmer…i hope you find happiness in your mate" Queen Alina said, ruffling his hair and Pharrell frowned. "Don't say it like you're dying cutie" he shook his head and turned to leave, while Marah who had been standing watched their interaction.She came forward and helped the Queen do her daily routines.In the other room of the castle.A raging Joseph had burst into his mother's room."You told me that'd work but no! You're a selfish prick looking out for herself" Joseph yelled at Amanda who was still lost at what her son was talking about."What exactly do you mean? It's early for goodness's sake.." she pushed herself up."Mom, you planned everything and now look!" He threw a glass that was beside him."Hey calm down… you will be the Alpha that I promise you." She said cupping his face."You've been promising me this since I was young…and nothing happened." He was sick and tired of losing every time he was doing everything to get the throne.He hated every existence of that crippled Pharrell. Everyone loved and cared for him like an infant. And that pissed him off.Seeing that her son was about to lose it, Amanda shook his shoulders."I told you I'll handle it didn't i… now stop complaining like a horny dog!" She snapped. Their plans have not been going well so far and all because of one person."That old hag has to die…or else everything we're working for will be for nothing " Amanda paced around the room trying to find a solution. If not for that stupid Chandler girl running maybe, just maybe everything would've fallen into place. And now the crowning of the Alpha was moved to no one knows until when Pharrell gets a mate.That is if he would."And how are you going to kill her when everyone is around her like bees around hornets? And let's not forget that you made me marry someone I don't want all because of your cynical plan." He was furious beyond reason. He married a woman he didn't want. He wanted the throne, that's what he's going to get."I'll make a plan okay!" Amanda yelled. She too was desperate for her son to get the throne of being a pack leader."Make a plan mom, or else I'll take charge to get what I want" he said and stormed out, colliding with his father in the hallway.The cars with Houston pack logos went out loading food in them. There were about 10 cars. One of them had the Queen mother and her maidens.The black cars set out on the dusty windy roads of the Demacian village…with children running along to see what was happening. Not many people from the village knew about the city of the Kingdom of Demacia. And they didn't know what happened in what you call the city of Demacia.And it was by chance that anyone from this village said that they are going to the city… And not so many people from this village were privileged to attend schools…especially children.One thing that amused the Queen is that these people knew how to make a living for themselves. From the green planted vegetables to the maize.And women working in the fields. It was a sight for sore eyes. She liked hardworking women and when looked to the side she was amazed… A brown haired curly girl was busy teaching kids something."I'll go first" she heard a distant voice say as her eyes glued to the beautiful girl. Her smile was so beautiful like her bright face and the dimples showed making her appear innocent.Everyone would love her at first sight. And that's how the Queen Mother felt and Marah could see that.She held the umbrella and walked towards the girl."Teacher Ingrid please" the small kid was begging for something from the beautiful lady. Even her name was beautiful."Hello my dear…how are you?" the Queen said politely. Only for Ingrid to turn back and look at the old lady. Scanning her from head to toe, she could see that she was one of those rich ladies."Who are you?" She asked, giving nothing away…her hand protecting a little girl of about 6 years beside her… And seeing many men standing behind her was what made her worry.Pharrell entered his office, Joseph following suit. He scrunched his nose in annoyance at his cousin who couldn’t resist tailing him.“Don’t you have anything better to do?” he asked, as he sat down on his chair. He looked slightly tired.“Do you think this banquet is really necessary to be attended? I mean there are so many…” Joseph didn’t get to finish his sentence when a light tap on the door echoed. The Alpha and Joseph both looked up to see who it was.“Frank, is there something wrong?” Alpha Pharrell asked, looking at his beta who came in, with a frown on his face. Joseph also looked at him waiting to hear him answer. Frank inhaled sharply before he said something.“This is for you. One of the patrolling wolves came and gave it to me and said it was addressed to you” Frank bowed. He was about to leave when Alpha Pharrell stopped him dead in his tracks.“Did he tell you anything else?” he asked, prying the caramel envelope with a paper weight on his desk.“No. Just that it is me
As much as Paula said she knew who kidnapped her, she couldn’t give me a clear description of the person, but she was very sure that if he were to come near her, she’d be able to point him out. I sighed with defeat.“Okay sweetie, now that you are done, let’s go and find aunt Charmaine to bother” I said with a smile and she gave me a thumbs up. The day was actually going great. I was glad I could take some of the bad thoughts from Paula by keeping her busy. The three of us were walking around the pack houses. We took a road that was paved in yellow sandstones. As we were walking, most people we met kept gawking at us, rather me. I nudged Charmaine to check if I had anything on my face. When she shook her head, I grew worried.“Charmaine, do you think we should go back?” I asked. She seemed to have the same thought as me, so she nodded. We were about to return to the castle when we felt a gush of wish pass by us so fast and unnoticeable. Our eyes opened in surprise when we saw two wome
I found it difficult to fathom what was going on with my life, especially with birds barging in my room and speaking to me. I mean it was already enough that I had to be told that I am a vampire and a witch. My life was totally ruined and there was no going back to fix it.I laid down on the bed, drifting into my thoughts until I heard someone groaning beside me. I looked at Paula and she was awake.“Hey, sweetie. Are you okay?” her grey eyes misted with tears. My heart couldn’t help but feel clogged at the sight of my little being hurt. I engulfed her in my arms, as if she’d escape anytime I blink.“Mama, I’m scared.” She whimpered as small sobs left her lips. I rubbed her back. Soothing her.“You don’t have to be my love. Mama is here and she’ll protect you” her breathing had calmed down, hence I lay her on the bed. A light tap resonated from the door. I waited to see who it was.Thankfully it was Charmaine and aunt Marah.“How is the little princess?” Marah asked. I sigh heavily be
Joseph, who had been watching the entire altercation, reached for his heart. If it could, it'd have popped out of his chest by now. He thought of shifting to his wolf form when he saw that Ingrid was outnumbered and called for help. To his surprise, It seemed she had everything, perfectly under control."She's a fucking witch" he gritted his teeth. He was between a rock and a hard place. He didn't know what to do at that moment and the only thing resonating in his mind was tell Pharrell. But on the other hand, he didn't have the heart to because he'd kill her himself if he found out.The woman was a walking dead. She was in dangerous territory. He sighed, raking his hand in his black hair before he limped forward."Ingrid, you are…" he didn't even have the right words to say when he saw her. Her skin was busy reforming back to its glow. It had peeled off and caused her to have some scrubs. Her eyes were still hollow and bleeding. Her fangs had been extracted.She watched in pure horro
It was past midnight when I woke up, not by my choice though; but by the blood curdling screams that echoed in the castle. I had so much forgotten that my daughter was still missing and there was a search party out there, looking for her.I tried as much to keep my eyes shut since sleep didn't seem to consume me. However, whatever attempt I tried to keep still and not let curiosity control me, I found myself on the soft fluffy carpet on my bare feet.The horrendous scream was getting louder and louder. Twisting the gold knob, I set my feet on the wooden carpet. I could feel my heart palpitating at every step I took and every creak the old wood made as I walked.My ears were alerted as I followed the screams, and I found myself out the front door and into the woods I went; hoping I could bump into her accidentally. I didn't mind if there was someone who could possibly look for me. What I had in my mind was look for my child and get to where the screams were coming from.I wondered how
“How come you kidnapped the child? What are we going to do with her right now?” a man’s voice was heard. He sounded angry because he was yelling.“What did you expect us to do? The little thing saw us.” Another said.“As of now, they are looking for her. It’s only a matter of time before they find you. Pharrell will kill you if he finds you. He grew fond for that woman and her child.” The first man spoke. This wasn’t part of the plan. All they had to do was get inside the Houston pack’s borders without being seen. But instead, they announced themselves.“Look here, we don’t take orders from you. We have our boss, your boss in case you forgot. Pharrell’s reign is soon to be over. Now, pull yourself together and tell me what to do with this little person” the one who seemed to be a boss replied. His tone was not friendly at all…….“My queen, you need to drink some water. It’ll help you cool off” Clara said, passing a glass of sugar water to Ingrid who was shaking. She cried enough. No
