“Margo!!! Where the hell are you?!” Clara screamed into the phone. My phone had been buzzing endlessly and the moment I heard Clara’s voice, I knew I was in deep shit. “Hi Clara, good morning please try stalling her on, I’m almost there!” I begged as I jumped out of bed. Shit! I had slept in again and I would get late for work at the palace. “Margo there is absolutely nothing good about the morning. I know you spent the night watching that annoying doctor and ending it by reading novels?” “Ehhh something like that but it’s–“she cut me off. “Save whatever you have to say for yourself later. Now will you get your ass down here or you will get me in trouble!” And on that note she ended the call. I huge grin stretched across my face as I thanked the heavens for giving me such a friend like her. She had been my friend for a long as I can remember, although get parents forbade her our friendship. It seemed like the harder they tried to break us apart. The stronger our friendship was.
“He’s still alive!” I yelled and I immediately ended the outgoingcall. I tried to bring him in but he was too muscular. I let deep breath and began pushing. Successfully I did. I went outside and checked if anyone saw me. Relieved that no one was in sight, I shut my door. Unknown to me, the moment I dragged him through the threshold of my house, I had awakened someone who knew something was amiss in my pack. That was my mistake. I managed to put him on the only bed in my room. Damn! He was huge and heavy. “Are people still allowed to be this tall?” I said frustrated as beads of sweat danced all over my body. When I opened his shirt, there was marks all over them. I was scared as to how someone would get into a fight and put his life at risk. Then another thought came Mind. What if he was running for his life from a murderer? I shudder at that thought as I wondered if his murderer had followed him here. If he was in my house thatmeant that I was also in danger. I shook my head as I
“See anything you like?” I looked up. There was a woman smiling at me. I smiled back. She was a middle aged woman with big circle O earrings and a scarf over her hair. I couldn’t see the color of her hair too. She had these perfect white teeth. She had dark eye shadows, dark lipstick. You know the classical fortune teller persona. Clara had walked up to me and apologized for ignoring me. I listened to her words and I felt it made sense. I forgave her andwe made up but then she suddenly asked that I visit a market around the pack. Market was home to all supernatural but onlyOmegas can attend openly. “Oh it’s nothing, I was just drawn to these cards” my smile slowly transitioned into a laugh. A nervous laugh. Her eyes zoned in on the cards and she smiled. I knew it. I knew I was not hallucinating. The longer I stared at this card, the more it felt like I had just walked into a museum and staring right back at me was a picture of myself on the wall. I mean how can that be?
The smell of freshly baked bread, meat and soup filled the great hall, but it did nothing to calm the fire in my heart. We were in the wooden dinning. My knife scrapped the butter on the plate against my bread as I duginto my meal, the sound of cutleries clashing against my ears. Laughter echoed from the table, but it felt hollow. Nina and Rachel were still out there, prisoners of that bastard Stephen Hawking and his accomplice Maximus. I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist thinking about them. What would have become of them? Has Stephen touched my girl? I grabbed the spoon harder and tighter as I gritted my teeth. Someone tapped meang I turned. It was Vok. I nodded. Telling I'm calm. I have being a pacing machine as I waited for the two alphas to make it to my pack. It seems to be that time was walking on a snail's pace. Now they were here. We couldn't just leave. wr need to plan. To fight. From what Madam Lafayette has said, Stephen and Maximus used the powers of all witc
As soon as I got into my room, the phone buzzed. It was a message from an unknown number. I clicked on it and it read. “ Hi Nina, it was nice talking to you” it ended with a wink and I frowned. I hissed loudly and dropped the phone on the bed before heading to the bathroom. All this I did was to be closer Maximus. Just like Marcus asked me with the letter.It was to make it easy for us to meet. The plan was to have maximus change my maids and guards. I didn't want to use people from the blue moon pack. Rather people from the winter fell pack. It would be easier to do meeting with them. Well the only good thing Maximus and I liked was to give me a phone. We were in the rural part of the werewolf world. Phones were hard to come by here. I tried to call Alpha Knox but I didn't know his number. I hasn't seen him with a phone either. Maximus was the exact cocky kind of person I hated. As if making me hate him the more. He was boastful and condescending. From that night, I began
Finally our plans were now taking shape. The next morning I was awoken by the head of the women affairs in the blue moon pack. I gave me the names of all the winter fell pack maids on my retinue and guards. I asked her to give them all to me and I agreed. When she left Marcus, walked into room. “Congratulations your highness” he bowed at me me smiling. “Oh stop it Marcus, it's a team effort” I said. We talked about meeting up in the evening, in the cave and he agreed. Just the Cecil, my new personal maid, also a winter fell pack maid walked in. She smiled at me. She had been in the Femwood pack with Rachel got years. I have heard she knew her way around here very well. “Your highness, Alpha Maximus requires your presence in his room” my heart began to race. I turned to Marcus and he seemed worried. “Alright” I nodded. “Be careful your highness”Marcus said and I nodded, then he left. ******************************************************** Call it luck or anything,
I sat down and listened to Cecil tell me a history about witches and the blue moon pack. Many years ago in the Blue moon pack, a witch hacked a werewolf of the Blue moon pack to death. The reason for this is not yet known up until this day. Some say the werewolf was engaged to the witch and he cheated on her, so she conjured him in her shrine and struck him dead with an invisible knife. Some say the witch killed the werewolf out of pure evil. Lots and lots of stories had been going round but nobody knew the real reason for that. The said witch was hunted by another witch and killed by the Alpha of the Blue moon then. After that, they declared that no one in the land of the Blue moon pack would practice magic or be seen near witches. They banished all the witches in the pack. Ever since then people had to travel far and wide to see a witch but if you had to get into the Blue moon pack, you go without your enchantments. I told Cecil that I was going to sleep on it. Finally, by mo
37 YEARS AGO “Cecil! Come on we will be late” “Coming mum!” I yell back. So actually it’s my wedding, today. And I might be going super late to it. So during the last party I attended, the alpha of the East moon Pack, Eric was there. He and I began to talk and on the second meeting we shared a kiss. On the third he marked me. When my mum saw the mark, she couldn’t contain the joy in her. She danced with so much reckless abandon, it began to look like it was her wedding. I was happy that after all the rejections, I finally get to have a mate, though I was an Omega. As soon as I got downstairs, my best friends were already there. “Oh Cecil, you look beautiful” Lora said and I smiled. “Thanks Lo” “Here I got these for you” Theresa presented me with some lilies. My eyes burned with unshed tears. “Oh Theresa, you didn’t have to” she smiled at me. Lilies were my favorite. She must have woken up early to pick them. “Where is Tyler?” I asked looking around. He was the 3
The pack doctor said rest. He said time would fix what the cold and chains had broken. But I knew better. Time didn’t heal what was taken. Nina slept in my bed, wrapped in fur, barely breathing. I thought leaving her in the royal Infirmary was not a good idea. She needed warmth. I was ready to warm her up. I paced my room as I stared at her. Then I sat and lifted her hand. Her pulse throbbed weakly against my fingers each time I touched her wrist just to make sure she was still there. I sat beside her, unmoving, for hours. “You held on,” I whispered, brushing a knuckle down her cheek. “For me. I swear to the moon, Nina, I’ll never let you be taken again.” She didn’t wake. Didn’t need to. I knew she heard me. In my head, I had already planned what I would do to my mother. She had stepped on the tiger's tail. When I stepped out of the room, Vok was waiting in the sitting room his face was grim, his stance rigid. “She knows.” Of course, Ashira knew. My mother was smart.
I got to the bathroom and slowly closed the door. I waited and listened. I could hear footsteps outside the door. I put it on the tap in the bathroom. The noise was okay. Then I tapped on the teleprompter. “Hey, Vok you there?” And all I could hear were crickets. I called out to him again, and the answer was the same. I became tired of trying to get across to him I decided to actually use the bathroom. After I flushed, I stood in front of the mirror, water dripping down my face, hands gripping the sink like it could stop the storm inside me. I have tried countless times to get across to Vok, but all of them favored me, and I was getting frustrated. Any moment now, my mother would have to be the one to knock on the door and ask what was taking me so long. Suddenly the teleprompter in my ear buzzed low. “your Highness” came my Vok's voice, tight with urgency. “We’ve hit a dead end. A gate. Reinforced steel deep in silver. If we hold in longer, we might die.” “Where is it?” I
The rain had just stopped falling and I gave the guards a signal to start moving. It wasn't a short distance but we were ready to go far to get what we wanted. Firstly I asked that the ice in the palace be warm or disposed. I mean, anything I would do to not let them keep supplying the ice dungeon more ice. That way Nina would still be alive. I and my men stopped in front of the pink gate. I rolled my eyes. My mother and weird colors. “Announce us! “ my guard ordered. “Your majesty! The alpha of winter fell is here to see you” The man hurriedly ran to open the door. I recognize him. He hadn't changed at all. Xander. My mother's minion. All Ashira had to do was to say jump and he would be asking how high. I hated him. He was spineless. Not a he wolf. He was easily ordered around like a little dog. I wondered if he ever transitioned. I doubt if he has. If not he wouldn't be this spineless. The door opened and I squinted. Stating right in front of me were colors. Like a rainbo
I paced my room. “Your Highness, Amy is here” “Let her in !” The door to my chambers was slightly open. I could see the figure there. I could smell the fear on her body. “Come on” She flinched and nodded quickly. “Where is she?” My voice was quiet, dangerously quiet. The kind of quiet that came before a storm. Before I rained terror. I was even surprised at myself. Normally I would have snapped two necks by now. I stood in the center of my room, my chest heaving, eyes glowing an eerie gold. The air crackled with the tension of what my next action would be. Kill her? Amy, the maid, stood frozen as she stood there. Her hands clutched the corner of her apron like a lifeline. “My…. My… I mean. Your Highness…I—” I didn't need to repeat myself. In a flash, I was in front of her, fangs bared, eyes wild with something far more dangerous than rage, desperation. I need to find her before my mother gets hold of her. “Where. Is. My. Mate?” I growled. Amy trembled, her knees bu
“We are back, your Highness.” The new secretary turned to me and Vok with a bright smile. I dropped my phone. “I guess it's goodbye to seeing all those humans and their fat faces,” I replied. Vok and the secretary chuckled. I sighed and opened the door. I stretched my legs and walked to the other side. I smiled, staring at the environment. The green vegetation and all. Not those colored plastics Humans make in the lab. It is indeed good to be home. “Your Highness, the alpha of the blue moon pack sends his regards,” the secretary announced suddenly. I frowned. “Sorry Your Highness, Sir,, “ he said looking at me and Vok before he finally disappeared “Vok are you sure he's a werewolf?” Vok smiled. “ yes your highness” I sighed. It's been a while, really. I began to think about my life for the past one month. 2 weeks earlier, when I saw that the job here on the human side was way too big to be done within a week, I became worried. How would the pack go on? Vok began to m
When I looked up, I could see the gamma’s eyes bilge out. He stiffened on seeing me. I bent my head in shame. He must have been surprised seeing me here, like this. In this uniform, when I should have been dressed like her because, in the real sense, I was the present Luna, though I hadn’t laid claim to that title or agreed to be the alpha’s mate willingly. He coughed and looked away. I could see his struggle. Trying to rescue me without revealing my true identity. He must have known that the alpha didn’t want his mother to see me. But what sort of person works for the person who could kill her in the blink of an eye? I guess I was stubborn like the alpha said. “It’s nice to see you out here” Queen Ashira smiled. “The feeling is mutual, your highness,,” Sean said with a forced smile. “This maid tried to poison me, so I was going to punish her,” she said, looking over her shoulder and glaring at me. “That is such a huge allegation. Did you see her yourself?” “Yes.” The
I have to admit, life as a maid was horrible. With each passing day, I was beginning to regret my actions. Maybe I might have judged Alpha Knox too harshly. No matter what I did to him, he would never be cruel to me, the way the chief maid and cook were to the maids. They don’t want to see you happy or resting. If they get you in any of the stated two, they always find a way to milk you of the joy in your heart. I went from cleaning to washing to cooking. By the end of the day, I would be too exhausted to think of anything. And the next day was the same, and again and again. This was my life. I hated it with all my heart. And that thing they said, the two palaces would not share jobs were utter bullshit. Time and time again, I had been sent to clean cars and stables belonging to, Alpha Knox. Luckily for me, no one recognized me. I tried to think of possible ways to leave but the more I thought, the more absurd my ideas were becoming. One day while I was cleaning the stables
" What are going to do now?" Anna held my hand as we walked from work, back to the house. I shrugged. "Don't worry, dear Anna, I'll find a way," I said with a small smile. Anna smiled sadly at me too. She was the first person I met at work. While others were snobby and Rude, she was like a breath of fresh air. Alex had asked me to sleep with him if I wanted to keep my job. I couldn't do that. At least not now, that I didn't know when the alpha would be back. He would go bunkers once he found out I had actually mated with someone else. He might even kill. That was exactly not what I wanted. Anna bid me goodbye at my hostel apartment and left. That night I did a lot of thinking. If I didn't work it would mean no food and no money for rent. These two things kept me on my toes when I escaped. I did not want to live on the streets and beg for food like I did when I first escaped. The next day I decided to go look for a job. I walked all through the day but no one had vacancy. I a
2 weeks later If I had known that walking in the outside world was this brutal, maybe I might not have run away. Firstly, I hid around wearing shawls and all, but even when I found out the alpha was not back, I decided to relax. 2 days later, after sleeping in a shed, a shop owner recommended a job at a cleaning company. And I got it. But then there was a problem. 2 weeks in, the young boss, Alex wanted me to date him. Of course, I said no, but he had a coconut head. He kept chasing me. Staring at me all the time and bringing people's attention to me. I had no option but to try to avoid him. I thought Knox was cocky until I met Alex. One day a general meeting for all staff was going on. While the others listened, I was running around, craning my neck and praying I didn’t get caught. When Alex was called out to speak, I began to sweat profusely. My heart pounded furiously. I was scared that everyone in the room could hear how loud it was. I took in mouthfuls of air as
