Evangeline Langston looked up and smiled as she accepted the cup of tea that Marianna Saville handed her early Saturday morning. She took a sipped from her cup as Marianna sat on the chair beside her with her own cup.
They looked across the spacious room in the center and watched as Amarah, clasping Clayton’s hand on her cheek, continued to look at him calmly while her other hand is on his arm, caressing it from time to time.
It has been three days since they were attacked by rogues and to Evangeline’s relief, most of the wounded warriors had already recovered and there were no reported dead members. With her husband taking over his son’s absence as alpha, he had all the dead bodies of the rogues burned down and with the other alphas help, scouted the entire border to retrieved evidence on the unknown traitor.
Three days and Clayton has still not woken up since his operation. It took Amarah and Matt almost three hours, with Amarah making sure t
Clayton leaned back on the pillows that Amarah had adjusted for him on the bed later that day and watched as she prepared his meal on the table at the foot of the bed. He studied her carefully and noted that she has dark circles under her eyes and that she looked tired.“You did not eat well, did you?” He questioned softly.Amarah looked up and shook her head. She carefully lifted the table tray and walked towards him and placed it carefully over his legs and sat beside him. She reached for the bowl of fruits and handed him a peeled and sliced apple.“My worries got the best of me,” she answered honestly. She took a slice and bite on it, chewing slowly for a while. “But I promise to eat well now that I know you’re going to be okay.”He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and kissed her side of the head.“Mom already linked with Ella,” he commented calmly. “Once I get discharge here later a
Conrad Langston gripped his fists in anger after his second-in-command, Harold Anderson reported what he had tasked him to do for the past week. It was late in the Friday evening and Harold came back to the pack territory to report to him that his younger brother, Clayton is already engaged to the wolf less girl.Apparently, the attack made by him and their allied rogue packs on the night of the Engagement Ceremony didn’t deter the announcement. Conrad knew that the arrow shot at Clayton by one of the rogue warriors had hit him and immediately immobilized him. They were defeated but Clayton was at death’s door that night.He knew that the wolf less girl had something to do with his recovery.“Get out,” he only spat hardly.The moment that the main door to his small house, Conrad threw an object nearest him, a bottle of whiskey and watched it crashed into pieces. His wolf, Magnus growled inside of him, sensing the anger of his human
Clayton, after giving Amarah one last kiss, finally watch as she went up the steps towards the Healing Center. He stayed by his car for a few minutes and watched as she stopped from time to time to greet and talk with the members. He also noticed that she has a soft spot for children, who would immediately run towards her when they will see her. They will then look inside her bag for the sweets she always had ready for them. Although there are still some members who are still quite hesitant accepting her as the Luna of the pack, Clayton knew in time she will be able to win their loyalty and affection. Most especially the elders, who always had believed that a Luna with no wolf will not make the union strong because one has something missing. He went back to his side of the car and was about to go in to drive towards his office at the pack house when his mind was suddenly intruded. “Well done, my brother,” Conrad linked with him snidely. “Word is going around
Amarah after finally making sure that she had completely done all her tasks for the day, locked her drawer and stood up from her chair, reaching for her bag. It was late in the afternoon before she called it a day since she attended to a twelve-year-old boy that had an accident before her shift ends, who broke his leg because of a stunt that he pulled to show off to a girl, he has a crush on.“Hey.”She looked up after closing her small office and saw Matt, going out from his as well. Lily is beside him, who is positively glowing and with one of her hands gently resting on the small bump that is protruding underneath her dress.“Hey, guys,” Amarah greeted as she walked towards them. “How’s my godchild doing?”“Demanding,” Lily answered with a smile. “By the time he’s coming out, I might already be looking like a popcorn from all the food that he’s letting me crave. You want to join us
Clayton handed several folders to Liam after signing them on a late Tuesday morning. He then reached for another set of documents in front of his table and scanned through the document placed on top. He read silently as the document contains new batch of pack members that will join the Transformation Ceremony.“Shall we postpone the ceremony, Alpha?” Liam asked seriously.“Why will we?” Clayton asked calmly. “I see no conflict with the schedule we have, and all participants are looking forward to it.”Liam looked at him uneasily.“We got word that the Grand Alpha is not doing well,” he finally answered.“The ceremony, I’m pretty sure can push through in the absence of the Grand Alpha,” Clayton commented seriously as he looked back at the paper and reading through the number of participants. “The pack already has its Luna, so in a way, the ceremony is complete with the prominent
Erika quietly accepted the meal she pointed at the Omega wolf behind the counter and placed it on her tray the following day after getting off her midnight shift. She slid her tray along the line and then requested for a bottle of apple juice before finally paying for her meal.She then proceeded to her usual table at the back part of the mess hall, beside a large window where she has a view of the practice field below. She gripped her fist tightly when she saw Amarah walking towards Clayton and reached for his arm immediately.Bitch, she thought angrily as she gripped the knife that she is holding.She continued to watch them with anger in her eyes until they disappeared as they turned towards the corner of the structure. She stabbed the chicken with her fork and run the knife through it angrily.Losing her appetite, she stood up and threw her meal at the bin, heading out of the pack house. She ignored all the greetings thrown her way as she made her way
Amarah made sure that she secured the elastic bandage around the Omega member that met an accident inside the pack’s main kitchen the following day in the afternoon. She gently assisted the arm down the lap of the woman and smiled at her gently.“Please don’t wet it for a while until the wound closes up,” she instructed patiently as she then prepared some medicines for her. “And I want you to come back every three days for me to dress that wound and change the bandage.”“I don’t want to take up your time, Luna,” Allison, the Omega member said, hanging her head low. “I can request help from my fellow Omegas.”“You are not taking up my time, Allison,” Amarah assured gently with a smile. She handed her a piece of paper and a small brown bag of her medicines. “I want to make sure that we are taking good care of your wound. Now, here’s the list of the medicine that I want you to
Clayton pulled out a chair for Amarah and waited for her to take her seat before he sat on the chair beside her. He reached out and squeezed her hand gently on her lap under the table.It was the night that the two of them went to dinner at the Harmon’s. He remembered well when Amarah brought the subject up to him after they got home and she started preparing their dinner upon her insistence that she will be doing it since he got out from the medical center. Amarah informed him that she treated Erika after sustaining an injury during practice.He had heard about the incident since he always made sure that any injuries should be immediately reported to him.Amarah had told him that Erika needed some weeks to let her injury recover and that’s when she told him about the dinner invitation.“Well, there’s no harm in accepting it,” he commented calmly. He looked at her as she was washing some salad greens in the faucet. “Are
