Isabella
"It's the Alpha's instruction," Duke calmly said before he turned around and went back to the Alpha's office. Blevine turned to me and her sweet smile returned."I think you should rest. We can go shopping after training tomorrow," she suggested while she led me upstairs. I had mixed feelings about everything. Blevine was good to me. The Alpha saved me. I'm I a bad person by pretending to have amnesia? What about my kingdom? Also, I couldn't stop thinking about why the Alpha would let me sleep in the room next to his. My late father would never let a stranger so close to his room, not even important guests. The guest room was the best he would offer."This is your room. The first one is the Alpha's and mine is directly opposite yours. I will prepare something for us to eat while you familiarize yourself with your new environment." She turned around and went downstairs. I would have loved to help her but I don't know anything about cooking and didn't want to embarrass myself. I turned the knob and entered the room. It was large and everything looked remarkable except they were all in white. I never liked the white decor in rooms but since this was temporary, I would have to adjust. From the way the Alpha saved me and later comforted me, I believe my mission will be accomplished in no time. I just have to fight the fears that engulf me with his intimidating aura. When my thoughts shifted to what happened in his office a few minutes ago, I found my face turning red for the first time in front of the large mirror. I laid on the Queen size bed in deep thought. About sixty minutes later, I was almost drifting to sleep when I heard a knock on the door and before I answered, the door swung open. The aroma from the food engulfed me. It was chicken soup with rice."Thank you," I said to Blevine when she brought a table beside the bed and kept the food on it."No need for that." She politely responded. We spoke as we ate. I didn't know that my behaviour would give me away so easily."The way you speak, your regal way of walking and the way you carry yourself seems royal," Blevine analyzed to my awe. Maybe she hadn't noticed but my fingers tightened around my spoon uncomfortably and I felt blood drain from my face but she just continued to eat while her analysis proceeded."You are not as pale as the vampires and you don't thirst for blood, do you?" She glanced at me and continued to eat. The mages and vampires were the only ones separated by kingdoms in the underworld. Therefore, my discomfort veered and I began to feel it was natural for Blevine's thought to veer in that direction. Still, it could also be a big problem because their investigations could focus on these two kingdoms. I only hope Prince Marcus has done the needful to cover my back."No," I said almost instantly."Then you might be a mage," Blevine continued to prob, as her eyes rolled back from time to time and I knew the mind linking thing was ongoing. Only this time, I couldn't tell who she was talking to. Be it the Alpha or Duke. I feel comfortable around Blevine because I know she only means well but Prince Marcus should have told me that the werewolves were also cunning."Have you discovered anything strange? Like you have powers to do extraordinary things?" Blevine asked again, bringing me back to the subject. I shook my head, "No." Blevin had a satisfied look on her face. "The mages were our strongest opponent during the battle. If our Alpha hadn't taken it upon himself to face their King, the Moon Star Pack warriors would have all died by now," she said to my horror. I froze and the spoon fell from my hand."Are you alright?" She looked disturbed but I was even more dumbfounded, I found myself responding,"Yes, I'm fine. I was just surprised something like that happened. So, are you able to locate the whereabouts of all strangers?" I fought to hide the shiver in my voice."Yes but most of them swear allegiance and stay here. For instance, I'm a hybrid. Half-vampire and half werewolf. My late father was an Alpha in one of the packs Alpha Jade conquered. He killed my father and took his subjects. But I swore allegiance to stay here when I found my mate, the beta.It used to be very peaceful until that ridiculous battle for power and supremacy distorted the peace. But the Supreme Alpha has assured us that everything will be fine again. We just have to endure a little."My interest piqued, hearing her version of the story. "Do you mean you don't fancy the title?" I was in shock because my late father died because of it and Prince Marcus will do anything for it but here, they don't even value what they have."Yes, the title has led to so much bloodshed and our Alpha has sacrificed so much since the beginning, to give us a comfortable life. He is trying to come to a peace treaty among all the races in the underworld but it's not easy because everyone wants power," she swallowed and continued,"Whoever carries the title of supremacy has the right to veto power on all races but the Supreme Alpha doesn't want that. He wants everyone's opinion to matter which only brings war but we are always ready. We train very hard," Blevine ended with a dark determination. "Does everyone have to train?" I asked, secretly fearing what will become of me. I have never been subjected to anything physical."Yes. Everyone must be capable of defending themselves but those who see more of the training are the warriors. We sometimes join them for our good. As a pack Doctor, I've seen a lot of brutalities lashed on the weak ones. We can join them tomorrow. That section is handled by the Supreme Alpha himself so you don't have to join if you are not ready," Blevins' voice shook at the last part.I couldn't help but feel terrible. "What do you mean by, if I am not ready?" I asked after some time.Blevine stared at me silently. Her features darkened and with a cold curt tone, she let out, "his ways are ruthless."Jade The two hours Bella spent in that castle was the most nervous two hours of my life. So many fearful questions wove through my psyche. The silent what-ifs and whatnots. When Damien cast the spell, he seemed to be in a trance so I couldn't find out how things were going in there. Duke was just as worried as I was but tried to comfort me. I knew how much he cared for Isabella and almost died because of her so I knew that whatever he felt was genuine. My eyes were glued to my wristwatch as my nervousness turned to despair with every minute that passed without her showing up. I wanted so much to speak with Damien but startling him was tantamount to breaking the spell bond between him and Bella so I kept my eyes fixed on the entrance. Suddenly, he breathed deeply and I knew the link was broken. The two hours were up but Isabella hadn't returned. Has anything happened to her? My attempt to mindlink didn't connect, I broke out in cold sweats, opening the d
IsabellaFinally, I was able to convince Jade to let me go but I felt a missing part of me when he left for training. I wanted to go with him but he refused. He insisted that he needed to do this alone. After he left, I looked back at the state of the pack and began giving out instructions. I didn't think they would obey me at first but they all did. The only surprise we could give Jade was to ensure that the pack was safe and clean in his absence. Duke led the team of warriors to reset the traps that had been destroyed by the psycho Prince Marcus.We changed into working gears and began working tirelessly, lifting trees, burning debris and clearing the pack. While we cleaned the packhouse and mourned Aligiza, the warriors cleaned the strong city. Pack members cleaned their houses, which made it easier. When we were done, we moved to the streets, clearing everywhere before removing fallen trees in the forest. What we couldn't remove was the dirt on the walls of the bui
JadeThe greatest opportunity presented itself. War was a destroyer. I thought it was going to be hard to exert my revenge but Prince Marcus made it easier on me. For as long as none of my pack members was involved, I was void of all fears. My greatest concern was that of losing any of my pack members. For every war that broke out, I worried that someone was going to lose their life.Since I was going to meet him alone, it would settle everything. He just made the biggest, craziest mistake of his life. I will train harder and face him in three days as he proposed. Aligiza's death and that of my warriors, would not be in vain. After accepting the challenge, I couldn't miss the fearful look in my mate's eyes, it made me apprehensive.She trembled when I got close to her. She almost killed Prince Marcus before. We even thought he was dead so what could make her so afraid of him? I was greatly disturbed when she said, "Jade, please don't do it. Don't fight the
Prince MarcusSacrifice was what brought me this far. I gave up my all to gain what I have. Isabella missed by a millimetre. She had no idea that I survived. I saw the horror in her eyes when she saw me today. I could guess the question she kept asking herself was how I survived.When I attacked the Supreme Alpha's pack, I was amazed that he wasn't leading the war himself but everyone he entrusted was up to the task. It was as if he was leading himself. I watched them for a while before joining and was amazed at how Damien handled the vampires. His skills had greatly improved.I looked around for Isabella, knowing she had also received a lot of training, I intended to distract the Supreme Alpha and kidnap her but it didn't work out as planned. Aside from her capabilities, he didn't allow her to join the war, which showed just how much he cared for her. For someone who opportuned on every strength he got, that was a remarkable decision.U
Isabella When Jade told me about the moon goddess, I was filled with profoundness. She was real. Cassandra told me it was just a myth but I didn't believe her. Was it that she didn't know or she was hiding something? I wish I could see the moon goddess too but it seemed she only revealed herself to Jade and most importantly, because of his position. I was glad he confided in me and shared this secret with me. Our night was ruined but it was worth it since it concerned the safety of our pack. We couldn't spend the night in the cabin as planned, and Blevine needed me to try out my dress for the coronation, I couldn't wait. When we got to the packhouse, Blevine and I made our way to her room with Tatiana. The little girl was excited to be around us. She kept jumping all around as I watched her with delight. A designer was waiting for us with sample dresses to choose from. I chose the one that caught my attention. A baby blue royal dress. After we got all t
Jade"Jade, what's wrong," Isabella's voice pulled me from my trance. The moon goddess was no longer there and I knew Isabella hadn't seen her. I didn't want to hide anything from her anymore and for the moon goddess being my guide, it was essential that she knew, but I couldn't tell her now.I kissed Isabella on the forehead. "Bella, I'm checking something around the lake. I will be right back."She gave me a suspicious glare and I knew that she didn't believe me. "Did something happen?" Her curiosity peaked, as she stared caringly at me."No, don't worry. Please stay here. I will be back before you know it," I said and pulled on my trousers. I grabbed my shirt and wore it as I strode out of the door. Before I opened the door, I turned around, my eyes meeting Isabella's flushed face. I smiled apologetically and said, "I'll make it up to you, I promise."She forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes. I knew she was disappointed but for the moon god
