“Oh my God my grandchild” Mum smiled at Luca who had stuffed his mouth with food. He smiled with the food and he looked cute. That was after I had explained what happened at the office. I expected her to be angry or anything but she none of that. She even thanked Miranda for leaving the boy. I couldn’t even believe it. “Mum have you been even listening to me?” I asked as I walked to the dinning. She blinked. “Yes of course” “Okay what did I say last?” “elm you were talking about” she scratched her head and stared with me smiling.” could you remind me? I guess I’m now getting old” she giggled. I looked at her eyes wide. What was this real? Some days earlier she was very pissed at me but now she’s the exact. All because of a child? I can’t believe this. “Mum please now is not the time to pay jokes” I sighed. “I’m not joking too” she smiled and then went on to stock pile food on the young werewolf’s plate. Luca smiled as he ate. I think he already loves her. After watching them
Firstly I had no mate. No one to connect telepathically with so I wondered why I was getting this feeling. I scanned the room for any sort of connection with the people around me bur I came out blank. That was scary. I knew something was wrong but I could tell what it was. I stood up to go outside because the place was suddenly becoming uncomfortable, when I felt a tap on my wrist. I immediately turned to Elle. She said something, I leaned in to hear what she had to say and she kept on rubbing her boobs on my arms I rolled my eyes. What was this now? “Vok come I dance with you” Elle Benita’s friend asked while batting her eyelids. As I was about to respond, I see Benita at the corner. This must be one of her gimmicks to get me again. “Another time babe” I say smirking. Benita was once my ex-girlfriend but ever since our break up, she had been trying to win me over but I didn’t let her. I think I still have PTSD from Miranda. I don’t want someone showing up all of a sudden with
The moment we stepped into pack territory, I felt it. Luca too felt. He had this weird expression on his face. When I decided to bring him with me, I was just going to tell just one person. Sean. He was my right man. My best friend. He had encourage to come over with my son. After all he was mine and he was a werewolf. The worst thing that would happen is that I could lose some roles because I had a child and be questioned by the alpha. But it was always going to be a secret. I planned to bring him forth next year, when it would be time to have his moonstone as a werewolf. I had chosen to travel at night. That way there would be few people in the pack who would see me. And even if they did, they might think the child was not mine. The land welcomed me, the scent of pine and earth wrapping around me like a long-lost lover. But it was different now. Heavier. As if the trees themselves could sense my secret. The wind rushed to my side as I stood in front the palace, as if it welc
2 MONTHS LATER The sun was not so hot and for that I was grateful. I didn't want to get Lucas sunburnt. I watched him fall feely from the swing. He had this cute smile on his face. He smiled like that most of the time with me. I take it that I'm doing a good job. Maybe not the best but I'm trying. I almost missed his birthday last month. If I had really done that, I would not have forgiven myself. I was even lucky to have attended, thanks to Nina got asking Knox to come back to the palace. Maybe she sensed that I wanted to leave but then for Knox to have listened to her, that was new. That guy never listened to anyone. Nina had changed. She was quieter. More graceful. I am even tempted to say happy. Even the alpha too.He's changed too. He had grorb quiet too. He spoke more with his eyes and he seemed like he trusted me more nowadays. Since Nina's kidnap, he's drastically changed. He wasn't harsh or rude like before. I think he treats me like…. like… a friend. I found this uncom
“Say that again.” My voice is calm. Too calm. The kind of calm that comes before a storm. I blinked like a man under the sun. No way this can't be true. The officer on the other end of the room shifted uneasily “Your highness the Beta, Vok, has been arrested. Pack law violation.” I grip the edge of my desk. “For what?” I snapped A pause. Then the words that make my stomach tighten. Promising to eject all I had eaten in the morning “He had a child with a woman from.. From that… Pack… and he brought the child here.” Everyone in winter fell pack knew the ones I refer to as the other pack. It was none other than Stephen Hawking’s pack. I had warned no one should have children from there. I didn't want some little miscreants that would question my authority years to come. What? Vok did what?I don’t move. Don’t breathe. Vok. My Beta. My second-in-command. My now friend. I recalled the role he had played when I was sick. How could he be a traitor? That's not possible. I closed m
There were two ways to live as a female alpha. Be told what to do Told what you want Of course you will know I will go for the latter. After that fight with the winter fell pack, I decide to move to the human world. There I met an old werewolf who was a rogue werewolf hunter. With him I found a purpose. Catching bad werewolves. It was fun honestly, though boring sometimes. Well today was a briefing. I was to meet Mr. Woods for a new assignment. I looked forward to this day. Staying alone in my apartment did me no good. Though Mr. Woods said it was my vacation. I jumped into the shower but I took my time. Few minutes later, I was ready. Hair set, make up done, and I was ready to leave. I threw a glance at the mirror and smirked. I loved what I saw. Wearing one of my newest curvy black gowns from my last shopping, I gave myself one last look in the mirror. I smacked my lips and applied some perfume. I grabbed my purse, and walked out of my room, as my expensive heels kissed
While on my way to the house, I heard the news. There was a threat to my alpha ship. The elders told my mum that if I didn’t get a mate and married before the year ends, I’ll be dethroned. So I had to do the needful. I had a boyfriend for like a year. He was the alpha of a small pack. Wes. With that he asked that we come open with our relationship to save my alpha ship. “When is he going to mark you?” mum asked. “Soon” “Let him do it now!” I turned to mum. “Now!” “Yes, now is the best time” “Okay” So I decided to go visit him. That way I would update him on the happenings. But the moment I walked into his room, I knew something was wrong. I walked slowly to his inner room and what I saw made my eyes water. I was staring at my mate, Alpha west thrusting in and out of Arabella. My Beta. Immediately I bolted out of the building. I ran with all my strength but the weight of the gown slowed me down. I lifted it and began to run. I didn’t know where I was going but I kne
“One glass for me” I smiled. “One glass for you” I handed it to elder Abram. “Thank you, your highness” he took the glass from her. “You have done so well elder Abram.” I smiled. I raised my glass to him.” this is fir a job well done” “Thank you once again your highness” he smiled. It’s been a long time since I was this happy about some news. It’s good thing I left Xander behind. If it were up to him, I would still be in pains for failed plans. Even when Abram was asked that golden gift, I thought that was my moment but as Elder Abram consoled me that day, he said I shouldn’t worry that another day will come. And it sure did. Finally my plans are working. My son is feeling bad. I would make him execute his friend and beta and then turn around to make him look like a bad person. The plan was simple. Turn him bad. Make him angry and then I’ll make him feel guilty. Little by little he would finally lose it. Just that the only thing I couldn’t wrap my head around was who his mat
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
