The three seconds silence that came after Lucille's announcement was deafening. All that could be heard was the low whispering of the wind. Then came the murmurs, arguments and soon there was an uproar. Some of the werewolves had guessed that something had happened to Roman as he hadn't made an appearance in a whole month, but never would they have guessed that their grand alpha was dead. How? When? And so many questions were flying around. The Pentagon tried to calm the people but the crowd was out of control. Considering how much noise was coming from the premises, some humans had gathered outside the gates. It was just impossible to get in as the the gate was heavily guarded by huge men who the humans couldn't have guessed were werewolves. From the gates, no one could have a clear view of what was going on in the parking lot. Inquisitive reporters had already been called but no human could pass through the barricade that the werewolves had put in place. "What happened to Roman

Calvin sat alone in his home at Hayford. The upper part of his body was lying on the bed while his legs were touching the floor. All that kept him company was the darkness and the distant chirping of crickets outside. He tried not to focus on his thoughts, but he just couldn't brush them off.He could hear his phone buzzing with what seemed like endless notifications. He had seen that he had some unread messages from Charlene, but he was not in the mood to read them. On a second thoughts, he picked up the phone and saw that the recent text notification was from Tony. Calvin couldn't bring himself to even smile. He had missed his buddy. Tony was the only person he could call his friend since he arrived in this city. Well, that was before the Pentagon showed up at his doorstep.Calvin opened Tony's message and he read it to himself with a halfhearted smile on his face. Tony expressed worry for him. He had noticed that he had been missing classes and basketball practice. He claimed to h

Phiri couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was this what all the questions were about? Calvin's past? She looked down at Lucille's outstretched hand. She was supposed to take that hand, shaking it to seal a pact. But Phiri was not interested, so she tucked her hands into her pockets."We have better things to worry about than uncovering the grand alpha's past" Phiri said.Lucille dropped her hand with a faint smile on her lips. Judging by the look on Phiri's face, it was evident that she wasn't going to change her mind. "I guess I'll be doing this alone then" Lucille said as she took a seat. "Why are you fussing over this?" Phiri asked. She really wanted to know what Lucille was playing at. She had known the woman long enough to know that she was only interested in a smoke with hidden fire.Lucille ignored the question as she slowly twirled on the office chair she was sitting on. It wasn't long afterwards that Mark and Rufus arrived. "So you're here already?" Rufus asked Lucille,

By the time Charlene arrived home, she was more furious than when she had left Calvin's house. She just couldn't stomach the fact that her seduction plan had been unsuccessful. Calvin's hesitation felt like a slap and just thinking about it made her face twist in annoyance.She didn't hate him though. She was only going to try again and that was a rough strike on her ego. Adrian had been looking for his sister all morning and when he saw her car pulling up at the front of the house, he hid himself, waiting to startle her. However, he changed his mind when he saw what Charlene was wearing. He was pretty sure that no club would be open that early so where could she be coming from? She was also looking flushed and he could tell that it was out of exertion. Adrian couldn't help asking himself what this sister of his had been up to. Charlene was already close to the entrance door when her brother just came out of nowhere, startling her. "What are you doing, Adrian?" She screeched. "I'v

It is said that love a beautiful, yet complicated. It puts one in a vulnerable position, taking over a man's thoughts. It was this situation Calvin found himself that night. He had become so defensive of Charlene's interest and when he got to think about his actions, he was convinced of his feelings for her. Calvin had called for an emergency meeting with the Pentagon and they had heeded his call even though it was pretty late.He had not called Phiri as he had hoped to meet her at the conference room. She was always there, it seemed. However, when he got there, she wasn't present as he had thought so he put a call through to her. When she picked up her phone, she said that she was somewhere in the woods, running her wolf."I called for an emergency meeting with the Pentagon" Calvin informed her. "I need you here.""Okay, I'm on my way" Phiri told him. She couldn't guess why he had called an emergency meeting. But with the urgency in his voice, it sounded important so Phiri knew she
