"What is going on over there? Why is there so much people gathered up? Did something happen?" I asked, still stretching neck if I would be able to see what they were all busy watching. "I don't think Alpha Lustrow will be happy to see you here, please go back to the mansion." She took my arm. "No! Why would you say that? I need to know what is going on." I yanked her hands away from me and pushed her back. "My lady.... It's okay, I will tell you." She held me back. "Well... it's a maid my lady... We found her lifeless body laying there this morning. According to the investigation carried out. She fell from the terrace, but we don't know if it is murder, suicide or accident." She explained to me as fast as her mouth could send out each words she made use of, pleading me to return to my room without giving a reason, but right then, I could not understand anything anymore. I was scared upon hearing the news, then my mind drifted to Karla. She was an assassin
Karla's death was really shocking for me, it baffled me. She was here to kill someone but she got killed and that was were the confusion set in. It had been a week since the incident happened but it was like I couldn't forget about her in a moment. She was so nice and intelligent. I was already planning to stop her evil plan and I had started to make a move but her sudden death broke my heart. There were some questions I still wanted to get answered, my mind was mess as I tried hard to unravel the mystery behind her death. Lustrow made everyone believe that I could be the one who killed her because I didn't like her as my maid but because I couldn't complain about it, I decided to kill her. He wasn't planning to get me jailed, was he? No one knew yet if it was murder or accident, but most believed that it was murder. While trying to put the pieces together, I heard knocks on my door and a recognisable scent rented the air. It wasn't it a maid to have a special scent, so
The night finally came, the night I never wanted to come. I was the kind that hated parties, all kind of parties but I was helpless. Whether I liked it or not, I just had to go. I would of course have disagreed if I had a choice. I had to dress up and look good as Lustrow's wife just for the sake of it. Busy thinking of what to wear, Lisa, the wife of Beta Morgan came to my room, looking very excited. It wouldn't be because of the party would it? She was already dressed. She was already a stunning woman, but tonight she dressed to kill. She wore a lemon drezs with short puffy sleeves and a U neckline. It was embroidered with lace and ribbons and flowed from the waist down. Her midnight black hair was braided and attached to her head like a diadem. Her emerald eyes were surrounded by thick long lashes and she added some colors to her pale cheeks. Lisa looked very innocent when smiling but when being serious, her hard facial features gave her a very elegant arist
I felt cold, I wrapped arm around myself and bent my knees so I laid curled on the ground. Life was so hard living with Lustrow, he made life tougher than I could ever imagine. No matter how hard life is, how complicated on fate is, how rough one's road is, how horrible one's nightmare is, you shouldn't just give up. Try, try and try till you get to your destination. For Lustrow, I never did did anything properly. When asked to take a step to the south, I ended up moving elsewhere, whether or not I took a step to the south, fate worked in inverse for me. If I planted right, I reaped wrong. Lustrow had made me sleep in the basement overnight, locking the door up. The basement in the pack house functioned as the washhouse for the whole pack and a store room for useless junks.I had mistakenly spilled hot coffee on his dress. He had told me not to ever look into his eyes or walk on the same path with him. Not aware that he was on the path I was treading, I ran into him,
For the very first time in the world, this season was favouring me. Whenever the feast of the moon was on its way I had always been the most stressed, drudging and miserable wolf, who would do nothing except for the preparation, all hours preparation. I would be the one to decorate the whole Arrowhead pack house, cook food, do the cleaning and I would still get lashed if there was error in my works. I never celebrated the feast of the moon without feeling pain all over my but this year was going to be very different one, special. I would celebrate happily and of course freely. Lustrow might change his attitude towards me after the festival, but I would make sure I take an advantage of this, I would accomplish my goals just within this time till the D-day. I had become independent these days, I could walk freely, talk freely and go anywhere without being questioned. Even if you were an evil wolf and you wanted to escape the wrath and punishment of the moon goddess, then you
"Hey Leoric." I waved smiling at Leoric but immediately he sighted Lustrow behind me, his look that declared love changed to hatred, he and Lustrow was glaring at each other, but I couldn't let Lustrow ruin my day. "How are you Leoric? It's been a while I saw you in the pack house, did you travel for some time?" I said, smiling more broadly. "I am very good sister in law, I will get going now." He responded bowing a bit and my heart flinched in pain. Yuck! He just called me sister in law and I hated how it sounded. This was a drama I knew, he called me sister in law because Lustrow was here but it wasn't too late to change it. "Do not address me as sister in law, you can address me as Vyra just the way Lustrow does, right Row?" I winked. "Yeah she is right... If she doesn't like you addressing her as sister in law, you should address her the way she wants you to." He replied with a fake smile that hid hatred. I really didn't care, all I needed was his acknowledgement
It was summer now. The sun shone brightly in the blue sky and the warm summer breeze spread the scent of flowers in the air, making the atmosphere pleasant. But despite the beautiful weather and view, all I could do was stare at the pups that played around in the pack's garden. They all looked well and healthy. Packs had begun to arrive, the pack house was becoming filled with the invited guests. All they all waited for was the night to fall. The Moonball pack, Night strider pack and the Firemoon pack were already here to celebrate with the silver pack. Now I would have to start introducing myself from packs to packs. One of the reasons I disliked parties to be held in this pack. Everyone should know who I was but they were too dumb to know it. To know that the Silver pack had only one daughter in law. I had a lot of work at hand to do but my eyelids were heavy already, I felt sleepy. This wasn't the time to sleep, I knew but I was very exhausted. I dropped on my bed to take
Leoric paced back and forth in the room as he thought of what the Alpha said. He was very worried and didn't know what to do about it. He couldn't believe what he heard from his father, getting engaged without his consent. He didn't even know who Barsine was or the pack she was from. Not just that, what would he do about Kevyra, he hadn't even given up on getting her back, so what was all of these? He could not settle down and think of anything, he was just worried, waiting for Kevyra to come to him because he knew she would. He needed to speak to her and discuss what just happened in the meeting hall. That would be the right thing to do, since he was unable to tell the crowd that he was rejecting the proposal because he had found his mate. The aroma of food cut in through his thoughts. His wolf growled, he had been starving himself and his wolf, but he wasn't even interested in meals for now, he was worried and his wolf was starving and threatening to come out. Some maids c
