I took in a deep breath and followed him. We walked to a quieter place but he still kept walking. I frowned. That was weird. How come Knox never for once turned around? How sure was he that I was still following him? “He hasn’t even turned back” I grumbled as I kept walking, looking around but not forward, suddenly I bumped into a wall. “Ouch! My nose” I was still rubbing my nose when I noticed the wall turn and realized it wasn’t a wall. “Watch where you are going” came a firm response. I looked up and my eyes widened. What the hell was wrong with me? I should have known who it was merely by his perfume. It was the most intoxicating scent that had ever graced my nostrils. It was a mixture of woody and ash and musk and coffee. It smelled like everything and nothing at the same time. I stared at my feet. “I ‘m sorry” I muttered. The next thing I knew, Knox tilted my face up. I gasped. “When you talk to me, look me in the eye. You got that?” I quickly nodded and he let my chi
“Excuse me?” Amandla asked. “She will not follow you to the alpha side of the train” Vok announced. My cheeks went red. I had never felt this bad for being a breeder like I felt now. I looked at my feet and tears swelled up in my eyes. “What?’ Margo’s eyes went wide. “How dare you say that? Who gave you the right” Amandla shot Vok a glare that should have had him groveling, if only she was his alpha, But Vok seemed unaffected. Amandla’s eyes was threatening to bulge out. I watched her. She was grinding her teeth and she shook. Any minute now she could explode like a cannon ball. I feared that this might escalate into something else. “Okay no problem, I’ll sit where I am meant to sit.” I said grabbing Amandla by the hand. She swiftly turned to me and I nodded with a small smile. “It’s okay” I muttered. “No it’s not okay” she said, her voice raised. I was happy and sad at the same time. I never knew I could have two different emotion at the same time. Originally sad that I was
I rolled my eyes and took in a deeper breath, then I opened the door. My eyes went wide at the image in front of me. Was it just my eyes but did Knox look way handsome than before. And also his height. Knox was tall. Was it just my eyes or did the train doors make him seem taller. He flashed me a smile and I felt myself go weak in the knees. Why did he do that? I stood gaping at him. He was too good. Too handsome. Oh my God. I felt a lot of things all at once. A quickening heartbeat Breathlessness. My pulse was in the throat. I opened my mouth but no words made it out. I shut it immediately. I mentally slapped myself in the face. Get it together! I swallowed. Was he seeing my reaction? Was it weird? I heard Knox clear his throat. He raised a hand go his face, covering his mouth and biting his lips to hide a smile. “We are just going to stand here or what?” he asked. My face went red and I smiled. “Come in” I said in a breathless voice as I moved aside. Knox gave me this kno
I had thought my Journey would be smooth from then on but what I didn't know was, it had just begun. Home was the only thing in my view and I hoped we got to it soon enough. The next morning I woke up to a slightly flooded room. Water had seeped from the kitchen into the room. I was confused. What was going on? I had not left the kitchen sink on so how did this happen? There was a heavy knock on my door and I rushed to the door. “I came as soon as I heard it” Vok said. “Honestly I don't understand what happened” I looked around to room. The floor was soaked. I watched the water level. It didn't look like it was inceeasing. That was a relief. Vok around the room. “ It was a little technicality somewhere” I modded likt I understood what was going on. “Alright I'll call my men to come around and take your bags, come with me” he said. I nodded. I immediately grabbed my night wear gown walked out of the room, Vok following closely behind me as he closed the door. I waited for him
Finally everything was back to normal. I had successfully said goodbye to the two alphas that helped me. Without Margo’s brilliant idea to attack and Amandla’s bravery with her men, I might not have effortlessly killed my long time enemy. Finally it was just I as the greatest in the land of lycanthropy. My pack is safe and so is the remaining members of the Femwood pack. I accommodated them in my pack and asked Vok to tell my men to build other houses for the packs. As for the blue moon pack, I sent one of my generals to be their Alpha. And then I passed judgment on a few others. The stories I had heard of Rachel during the siege was irritating. I tried to exile her but Madam Lafayette asked that I tamper justice with mercy, because she was heavy with child. So I let her leave in the lonely village not far from me. There was no males going in or coming out. That way she wouldn’t be planning with some other people to take over my pack, unknowingly though. There was a knock on the
3 days later I stretched lazily like a cat as my eyes fluttered open. Sunlight flittered through the window and I squinted. I looked up. White ceiling. Black spiral carvings on the wall. Carved painstakingly too. The curtains were a deep shade of purple but Lilac at the tip. I smiled. The human side has a lot of perks. If I was back at the pack, someone must have recognized me by now. I decided to use my free week to visit my business in the human side and also do some other extra-Curricular activities. I turned to get a full view of the drawing, when my hands brushed across something soft from beside me. I sat up and got a full view. There was a woman sprawled on my bed, beside me. Her back was turned to me. She was pale skinned and had pretty brown hair. Brunettes. I was a sucker for them. Oh I remember her now. I gazed at her, racking my head. Okay I don’t. What was her name again? I just can’t remember. Just how drunk was I yesterday. Yesterday was the day I signed the dea
“Ma’am he will see you shortly” the secretary said and I nodded. I took in a deep breath and sat. I looked at the wall and there he was. Vok. I didn’t know what to think but I just wanted to claim what was rightfully mine. I sat sipping coffee as I went down memory lane. ************************************************************************************* The people instantly goes quiet when they notice only me standing at the podium the happy smiles and the joyous laughs on their faces is been replaced by worry and murmurings. They are waiting. Just like I am. Everything is set for my wedding except for one thing. Or rather one person. The groom. Vow kai Sinclair. The one I am betrothed to. I look down from where I stand and lock eyes with my mother. She blinks, telling me not to cry. I gulp. Fighting back my tears. Telling me not to cry in a situation like this is making me want to cry. How could Vok do this to me? I thought these things only happen in movies. Now here I
“What do you mean I need an heir to buy back that?” I shouted into the phone. Its 5am in the morning and I haven’t slept a wink since I got back to my house. I was this close to losing it. David had successfully bought 15% of the shares. The remaining 5% was what I had gotten a hold of but the owner of the shares wasn’t going to sell it to me unless I had an heir. She was my mother’s friend. I knew this was mum’s doing. This was a company I own too. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. “Okay Mrs. Landin name your price. I will pay. I need those shares.” “You heard me Mr. Sinclair. I will sell these shares back to you on the condition that you provide an heir.” She said. “But how am I going to be able to do that” I said in clenched teeth. I could use another way to make her give me those shares but she was affiliated with my mother. If I touched even a strand of hair on her, I knew better of what mum would do. “Figure it out boy. You have until the next board meeting or e
There was something odd I had noticed when I woke up. Everywhere was moving it felt like I was in transition. Rubbing my head, I managed to sit up and peered out of the window. I saw that the trees were moving. Have I been kidnapped? Fear engulfed my whole body. It was when I opened my mouth to shout that a familiar voice interrupted me. “Guys, you will attack them from the front– pause– while I and Sean with the others will take it from the back, okay? He asked” and I heard some deep voice responding. This was the voice of Vok, the beta. I found it weird that I could be in the same place with him. “What am I doing here?” I muttered to myself. It was then that it all came rushing to me. I remember being told by the warden to go cut grass in the wee hours of the morning. So I remember that I became cold. I walked into a carriage in the stable and slept off. Now I am with people I don't know, heading to somewhere I don't know. After a while, we stopped moving. “We camp here toni
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
