Crystal folded her lips cutely as she marched to the cupboard where her mother's ringing phone was." X-a-n, xan." She spelt the name on the caller ID and like she always saw her mother do when picking a call, she swiped the green icon." Lani." She heard someone call and she covered her mouth to conceal the chuckle that almost flew out of her mouth." Hi, this is Crystal. Who's on the line?" She giggled, looking behind to see if her mother was coming." Crystal?" She glanced at the screen when the person called her name." He knows I'm the one?" She gasped.Before she could reply, she felt a harsh tap on her little shoulders." Let me have my phone, brat. Who were you speaking to?" She heard her mother's hard voice and her little pinky fingers immediately clicked the red button on the screen." Who were you speaking to?" Leilani asked, glaring down at her." I don't know, mum." She replied innocently." You don't know yet you're talking to the person? I don't want to see you here wh
" Teaching you a lesson so your tiny legs would know how to stay away from my man." Mira replied in a dangerous tone.Naniya looked around to see if she could see anyone who'd help her but all the faces staring back at her looked like they were happy about the doom that wanted to befall her at the moment.She glanced at the maid standing behind the sinks who was also looking back at her with a malicious sneer.What? That was the only friend she had always talked to and shared things with. Was she happy about what was about to happen to her?After seeing none was ready to help and she couldn't afford being a victim of a ugly, scarred face which would make the detest on her worsen, Naniya tried to dash outside but Mira caught her by her arm, squeezing her arm tightly like she wanted to break every single bone in her frail body into pieces." Stop this. You can't do this to me, Mira. Please." She pleaded, trying to squirm her way out of Mira's tight hold but instead a thunderous slap lan
" Urgh! Finally." Umbrie groaned as soon as the car stopped, she didn't even waste tine opening the door to stretch her overly tired legs." Stop exaggerating. Not like you walked here or something." She heard Logan scoff as he pulled the key out of the ignition." Don't start now, you two." Leilani yawned, also stretching her tired limbs where she sat beside Logan in the driver's side." You've woken up." Logan smiled and placed a small peck on her forehead.Leilani just nodded and turned to look at Umbrie who was giving them a unexplainable look and Leilani giggled silently." I thought you were matchmaking us together then. What's the look all about?" Leilani nudged her as they trudged behind Logan who was carrying the sleeping Crystal in his arms as he walked." Then. That was then." Umbrie replied." Two-faced Umbrie." Leilani rolled her eyes." Lani." Umbrie called after a while of walking in silence." Hey ladies! Stay right there. I'll be back." Logan yelled, interrupting what
When Simon wouldn't stop bugging him, he had to let him in his head because he already guessed there was something urgent Simon needed him to know." Just rush over." Was all Simon told him and he didn't say any more word again.***" What is it? What's the urgency all about?" Tyron asked calmly as he sighted Simon who was looking quite bashful and he had an apologetic glint in his eyes.Simon took a while before replying." Actually, I mean, I.. I'm sorry, Tyron. I thought those maids escaped when I saw them working in the kitchen earlier but I was told you...you told them to release them. I'm sorry for the disturbance." Simon stuttered apologetically.He ducked his head when his eyes met Tyron's glaring ones." So, you just had to tell me in such a manner? You couldn't just say it then?" Tyron scoffed and the latter muttered another low sorry." Get to work and make sure you have a logical reason before calling me next time else I mightn't take it easy with you." Tyron warned calmly
Silas finally dropped on the ground weakly as he watched the luxurious cars zoom away from his sight slowly.He knew he could still be able to catch up with them if he wanted but he didn't think he could.He was too tired too, he didn't think his body could take any more stressful activity else he might finally drop down dead.He looked up again and the cars had finally zoomed out of sight, leaving him to continue watching the grasses and flowers that were dancing to the rhythm of the wind.He had been running and hiding ever since that day he met Dane. Running to be able to reach the Silver moon Gamma before anything could happen which could make him start blaming himself and hiding because of Wymond who had finally lost it and sent out hundreds of his evil soldiers on his trail.He had been praying to the moon goddess to save him and she did but now, he didn't even know where to start from again.Seeing the inquisitive gaze the burly guard standing at the gate gave him again, he gru
" No way." Leilani murmured, squeezing the poor paper in her hands." Once again my lady, welcome to the Silver moon pack. Our king requested to give you this." Now, she remembered what that older lady said and she already knew why she swallowed and the meaning of those looks the other girls who came along with her sent in her way. Those gifts weren't for them all like the older lady said, they were all for her." Crystal." She called and turned to Crystal who already removed another bouquet from a basket and was giggling as she played with it." Yes, mum?" The girl answered." Where's Umbrie? She collected those baskets from you, right?" Leilani asked flinging away the roses carelessly while her daughter's eyes already turned sad and gloomy as she watched those beautiful roses land carelessly on the floor.She looked at Leilani accusingly as if she wanted to say something but swallowed when she saw Leilani's countenance." Yes, mum." Crystal answered mildly as she wondered why her
" Leilani! She can't be here, can she?" Xander explained, having a confused frown on his face." The blonde flower?" The Alpha's eyes widened after realizing what he uttered while Xander raised a brow." Flower? What is that?" Xander asked confusingly." What are you talking about? Do you need to check your ears?" Kaden asked, pretending as if Xander was the wrong one, the latter stared at him suspiciously but shrugged when he couldn't find any suspicious expression on the Alpha's face."You seem busy. I'll just take a nap or do something else. I'm really stressed." Xander said and Kaden nodded gently." Good day, Gamma." Madam Enola greeted as she was about coming in.Xander simply nodded as he left having a tired and stressed look on his face." Greetings, Your highness." She bowed before Kaden as the door closed behind her." How're you doing, Enola?" The Alpha asked and sighed when he finally dropped the ledger book in his hands." I'm doing great, Your highness." She gave out a s
Leilani yawned and kicked Umbrie's flailing arms which were dropping lazily from the chair as she slept soundly on the recliner without any care about anything going on in the world.She disposed the remainder of the drip she had used for Ivy into the trashcan as she marched to the door, wondering who'd be knocking the door at exactly the time she wanted to take a short nap since she had got just a little time to rest.She knew it couldn't be Logan since he had ditched work for taking Crystal to school and she was grateful to him for that.She had been feeling unnecessarily tired and stressed these few days.Maybe because of the change of environment or maybe not.She felt like strolling out, moving around to feel the cool atmosphere but strangely, she had been sternly warned by Logan not to while around for a while.She was still waiting for that 'for a while' to end so she could freely move around like a bird.Opening the door abruptly, she winced when she bumped her head in a wall.
