《Alpha King鈥檚 Special Soulmate》


 EPISODE ONE

    THEME: Bumblebee


    ¡°Bumblebee! Breakfast is ready!¡± I heard my dad¡¯s voice behind my bedroom door.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right out dad!¡± I screamed as I wore myst piece of clothing.


    ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll be waiting Bumblebee!¡± he said. I ran ab through my hair quickly and packed it up in a bun.


    Bumblebee? Wondering what that means? Well you might find it funny if I tell you. But I will anyways. Bumblebee is arge bee. He likes calling me Bumblebee because he thinks I¡¯m so sweet like a honey from a bee. And he also mentioned something about me bringing peace to our Pack.


    I don¡¯t know too much, but I was born at war times, a time when there had been a Great War between our pack and two other packs. It was a fight for territories and who would be the strongest Pack in the country. But the war ended as soon as I was born, making our own Pack the second strongest werewolf pack in the country.


    h! h! h! Argh! I hate war stories!


    I am Avery Lance, thest child out of four. And I am a werewolf . The voice you heard earlier belonged to Alpha Lance. He is the leader of Moonlight Pack. And he is basically the strongest in the Pack.


    I moved out of my room and motioned towards the dining section of our enormous Pack House. I was weed by the smell of cinnamon toast in the air.


    ¡°Good morning mom.¡± I hugged my mom and she ced a kiss on my hair.


    ¡°How was your night?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Fine mom,¡± I said with a bright smile. My mom¡¯s name is Elizabeth Lance, the main woman of the house. She is the Luna of Moonlight Pack.


    ¡°Good morning family!¡± I greeted everyone seated at the long table cheerfully.


    ¡°What took you so long Avery?!¡± James growled.


    ¡°Don¡¯t start on me James. It¡¯s pretty early to start fighting and I don¡¯t have any strength for that.¡± I rolled my eyes before settling in a chair. The long table wasden with all kinds of food. But I¡¯m gonna settle for the toast.


    James is my brother. The third child. He¡¯s just three years older than I am. We are always fighting like a cat and mouse. And sometimes I feel he doesn¡¯t like me. Why do I have this kind of feeling? James is jealous dad loves and cares for me better than he ever did to him or any of my siblings. He always bullied me and loved to y his silly and scary pranks that would make me freak out.


    I was so afraid of James when I was little. But not anymore. I¡¯m old and strong enough to look him straight in his eyes and confront him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t pay attention to him Bumblebee,¡± my dad said. I stuck out my tongue at James.


    ¡°You should learn how to defend yourself Bumblebee,¡± James scoffed.


    ¡°I can defend myself James Lance. Remember I beat you up in the fist fight,¡± I said.


    Heughed. ¡°That¡¯s because I let you win on purpose. I didn¡¯t want you to cry in dad¡¯s arms just like you did when I defeated you in the hunting game,¡± he reminded me with smirk on his face.


    ¡°That¡¯s not true!¡± I gasped.


    ¡°What-?¡± He was interrupted by a Juan.


    ¡°Please James let us enjoy our breakfast and head out to our daily activities.¡±


    James bit his lowerlip as we exchanged stern nces.


    Juan Lance is the first child. He is next in line to lead the Moonlight Pack. My dad already gave him the Alpha title at a tender age of nine. Not because he lost his mate but he gave him the title so no one would try to raid our Pack whenever he was far away from home.


    Juan is gentle and cool but strict in some ways. He is overprotective when it concerns his family and Pack affairs. But he loves me the most and that¡¯s why I love him too!


    ¡°Hey! Stop the Stern nce Contest right now!¡± Aubrey growled angrily, making everyone at the table jump a bit. ¡°Sorry mom, dad,¡± she apologized. ¡°Don¡¯t you guys get tired of fighting?¡± she huffed.


    ¡°It¡¯s her fault,¡± James said. And I shook my head.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough James!¡± She smacked his head.


    ¡°Aish! That hurts!¡± He rubbed his head.


    ¡°Serves you right¡± I mouthed and he eyed me.


    ¡°Now eat up,¡± Aubrey instructed. I picked up my fork to eat my food, satisfied that she had smacked James.


    Aubrey? Who is she?


    Aubrey is the second child. My only sister. She¡¯s married to Donald who had been dered a Beta to Juan when he bes the main Alpha of Moonlight Pack. A Beta is the assistant leader. But of course not as strong as the Alpha and must give respect to the Alpha. Aubrey has two children. A boy and a girl-Caleb who is four and Caroline who is just one. Caroline is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen and she¡¯s so adorable whenever she¡¯s drools and tries to y with your thumb.


    We ate in silence for several minutes before dad spoke up. ¡°Juan what¡¯s the update on our contract with ck moon Pack?¡±


    Juan cleared his throat. ¡°I and Donald are still working on it. They haven¡¯t responded to thest note we sent to them.¡±


    ¡°Something that has to do with Alex?¡± Dad asked and Juan shrugged.


    ¡°I don¡¯t really know dad.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s obvious Alpha Alex doesn¡¯t want any rtionship with our Pack,¡± James said.


    ¡°I think Alpha Alex still sees us as an enemy and not an ally,¡± Aubrey said.


    ¡°But we need his help. I really don¡¯t know why he¡¯s refusing to sign the contract and help my Pack,¡± Dad mumbled. I looked up at him. Anger was clear in his expression.


    ¡°Why do you need the ck moon¡¯s help?¡± I asked with a raised eyebrow.


    My mom reached out and ce her hand on dad¡¯s to calm him down when he clenched his fist. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with our pack?¡± I prodded. There was no response. Then I knew something was wrong when no one said anything. They all fixed their gazes on their tes.


    I watched my dad rxed a bit and his expression softened. ¡°Dad-¡±


    He interrupted me. ¡°Our pack is fine.¡± A half smile disyed on his lips. I wasn¡¯t going to buy his response. I mean, I know they are all hiding something from me! Something that has to do with our Pack!


    ¡°Dad,¡± I called him again.


    ¡°Bumblebee it¡¯s not something you should be concerned about. And our Pack is fine.¡± His response was too sharp and immediate. And I knew there was no arguing with him. I wouldn¡¯t dare pester him about it. So I let things slide.


    ¡°I¡¯m full.¡± He pushed back his chair backwards and stood up to leave.


    ¡°I¡¯m joining you honey.¡± Mom followed him.


    I breathed out heavily. ¡°Can anyone please tell me what¡¯s going on here?¡± There was no response again. ¡°Hello, why did you send a note to the ck moon pack?¡± I asked Juan but he didn¡¯t answer. He pretended to be busy with his phone.


    ¡°You? I know you know something about it,¡± I turned to face Aubrey but she avoided my gaze. I sighed in disappointment.


    I knew asking James won¡¯t favor me. He would end up saying bad words to me for not knowing anything about our Pack. Hey! Whose fault is that? Everyone¡¯s-Dad¡¯s, Mom¡¯s, Juan¡¯s, Aubrey¡¯s and James¡¯! And not my fault!

 EPISODE TWO

    THEME: Pack Affairs


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    I had been interested in Pack affairs since I was little but they wouldn¡¯t allow me close to it. Dad thinks I¡¯m too young. Juan says running the Pack or a portion of it would stress me out. Mom wants me to stay at home and learn how to be a good mama for the future. James says Pack affairs belonged to the males. Aubrey says I¡¯m a sweet innocent girl who needs nurturing and proper care. She thinks interfering in the Pack affairs would taint my innocent image and corrupt my clean heart. And so she always drags along with her to some silly dancing sses. Or she persuades me to help her take care of my little nephews while she¡¯s dancing!


    Argh! So annoying! No one sees me as a twenty-one-year-old! I don¡¯t want to be a sweet innocent girl!


    ¡°I can help you kiddo,¡± James said. I pped his hand away when he ced it on my head.


    ¡°What do you have to say?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I can tell you what you wanna know,¡± James said and I eyed him suspiciously. I don¡¯t trust this guy!


    ¡°I¡¯m damn serious kiddo.¡± He gave me a wink.


    ¡°Okay tell me,¡± I said.


    ¡°So since you wanna know about the ck moon Pack-¡± James was interrupted by a loud growl. My head snapped to look at Juan who was now on his feet. Aubrey red at James too.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare tell her about it!¡± Juan said sternly.


    ¡°And what¡¯s it about the ck moon Pack that you guys don¡¯t want me to know?¡± I grumbled, ¡°Come on Juan I¡¯m a part of this family! And so I deserve to know everything about our Pack too!¡± I threw my hands up in frustration.


    ¡°It¡¯s true you are a part of this family, but there are some things you shouldn¡¯t know too,¡± Juan said before walking away.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you just read some books in the Library. Mom ordered for some magical books. And I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll find them interesting. Definitely,¡± Aubrey said.


    ¡°That¡¯s innocent enough,¡± James chuckled.


    Fury crashed over me and I balled my fists. Aubrey walked away too. I tried to control my inner wolf from taking over. I shut my eyes, feeling frustrated as I almost failed at controlling my wolf.


    ¡°Rx! Rx! Avery! Look at me!¡± James said. I reopened my eyes only to see him close to me. He ced a finger on his lips. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you what¡¯s going on around here,¡± he said In a light whisper. And I rxed. Thank goodness someone decided to help even though he wasn¡¯t my favorite.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Yes, but in exchange for something else¡± He winked. I knew it! I knew it! Believe me, I saw thating! I should expect a condition whenever ites to James. He would never help you without asking for something in return. James words are: ¡°Life is give and take.¡± You don¡¯t need to tell me, I know he¡¯s crazy.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± I huffed.


    I really wanted to know about the contract between our Pack and ck moon. ck moon? Why ck moon of all packs? That¡¯s weird! Dad never liked that pack one bit! Why? ck moon Pack became the strongest pack in the country. And dad wasn¡¯t really happy about it because he had always wanted his pack to be the strongest.


    So why is he asking the ck moon Alpha for help?


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you everything once you agree to do what I want. Is that a deal?¡± he said. I nodded.


    ¡°What do you want James?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I made reservations at the biggest opening of a club in town, so I want you toe with me,¡± he said. My eyes widened in shock. To be honest, I wasn¡¯t expecting such hit from him. I thought he would ask me to clean up his room, or do hisundry, or polish his shoes like he used to anytime. I was desperate to know something others in the house knew.


    ¡°I have nned everything Avery!¡± He smirked as he rubbed his palms together.


    ¡°Why are you asking me to go to club with you? I thought you were against me clubbing James,¡± I said, surprise in my tone.


    Yeah! James was never in support of me clubbing and hanging out with friends! Something that has to do with being ¡®a sweet innocent girl¡¯. And dad would always turn me down anytime I made such request.


    ¡°Yes, I was against it but not anymore. I mean, look at you! You¡¯re twenty-one! Big and old enough to club with friends!¡± James eximed in an unusual tone. I shook my head slowly. He was lying!


    ¡°Spill it out James,¡± I said and his false smile dropped and was reced with a serious face.


    ¡°Okay¡­ you got me kiddo,¡± he mumbled.


    ¡°The thing is¡­ few days ago I made the n to hang out with my friends but Cole called up yesterday and said he couldn¡¯t make it. And I don¡¯t wanna waste his reservation! I paid a huge amount of money to get the tickets!¡± James exined. Anyways I was right! I knew he wouldn¡¯t let me go to club on a normal day.


    ¡°So you want me to be Cole?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Yes.¡± He nodded.


    ¡°But James, I can¡¯t take up another person¡¯s identity. It¡¯s illegal,¡± I reminded.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry I¡¯ll have them change the name, age and gender. Is that okay?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Better. So when is the opening?¡±


    ¡°Tonight!¡± He eximed.


    ¡°What?¡± I gaped at him.


    ¡°You heard me Avery.¡± He gritted his teeth.


    ¡°What about Dad?¡± I asked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry I¡¯ll talk to him.¡± James winked again. I¡¯m sure he knows how to talk dad into allowing me go to a club with him.


    ¡°Okay I¡¯lle with you but you have to tell me about the ck moon Pack and everything on our way to the club. Deal or no deal?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Deal Kiddo.¡± He grinned.


    The maids came around to clean up the table. I expected James to leave too but he didn¡¯t. Instead he leaned forward with a sly smile on his lips.


    ¡°How about I hook you up tonight?¡± He said. And I gave him a deep frown. ¡°Come on Avery! It would be fun to have someone by your side too. I¡¯m going there with Ava,¡± he said. Ava was his mate.


    I shook my head. ¡°No hook-ups James!¡± I pointed out.


    ¡°So how about gettingid too?¡± he teased. James knew that I didn¡¯t like hearing such words like finding a soulmate, having boyfriends, or gettingid. I hate those craps!


    I was never interested in romantic rtionships because I have better things to think about.


    ¡°I can find the perfect guy for the night,¡± he teased again.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    ¡°James you¡¯re disgusting!¡± I rolled my eyes before walking away. Hisughter echoed in therge room.


    ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up by 8:00pm! And we aren¡¯ting back home until midnight! Even if dad calls me to bring you home, I won¡¯t pick up his call!¡± he shouted.


    ¡°Whatever, stupid,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Did you just call me stupid?¡± he asked. I motioned towards the library.


    ¡°Get to work James!¡± I screamed at him.


    Heughed again. ¡°See yater kiddo!¡±


    I inhaled deeply at the smell of fresh books in the library. I love reading books. Magical and adventurous books are my favorite. And I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a bad idea to follow Aubrey¡¯s advice of reading books. I don¡¯t need to worry about anything or be angry at anyone because James would tell me everything at night. I picked up the first book that caught my eyes and it turned out to be my favorite.

 EPISODE THREE

    THEME: A reserved club


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    The drive to the club was cool. James fulfilled his part of the deal before we dropped by at Ava¡¯s home.


    Our Pack was fine but dad just wanted to partner with ck moon Pack to make our Pack better. James didn¡¯t say much and I knew he was hiding something from me. Maybe it¡¯s something I shouldn¡¯t really know, or concern myself about, so I dropped the topic.


    We finally reached the club after picking up two of Ava¡¯s friends too.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have some fun kiddo!¡± James handed me a ticket with my name on it. There was a long queue outside the new club.


    ¡°When are we going in James? Seriously? This would take a while,¡± I grumbled and rolled my eyes.


    ¡°Rx Avery, remember I am James Lance.¡± He continued walking and we all followed him. He stopped when he got to the entrance.


    ¡°Hi, I am James Lance¡± He shook hands with one of the bouncers at the door.


    ¡°Hey Man! Good to see you again!¡± the bouncer eximed. Sounds like he knows Lance.


    ¡°Can I go in?¡± James asked. ¡°The inside is full Lance,¡± he replied. ¡°I have my VVIP tickets!¡± James gave him his ticket and the bouncer examined it while the other two bouncers checked our tickets.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    ¡°I have no idea if that section is filled up,¡± the bouncer said.


    ¡°I don¡¯t really mind. I¡¯d rather go in with my girls now,¡± James said.


    The bouncer gaze dropped on Shea, one of Ava¡¯s friends. His eyes did a slow crawl on her. Oh my goodness! I could sense him undressing her with his eyes.


    James leaned forward and said to him. ¡°You can have her man.¡± He chuckled. Geez! My brother is so annoying! How can he say such words? Shea should be the one to decide if she wants him or not!


    Holy shit! It seems Shea was interested in the bouncer! I rolled my eyes when she tucked her number into his pocket and gave him a quick kiss on his lips! E!


    ¡°You can go in Lance.¡± The bouncer smiled.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    James grabbed my hand and led us inside the club. I heard people uttering curses at the bouncers for letting us in without maintaining the queue.


    ¡°There¡¯s a huge difference between us which they don¡¯t know. We¡¯re the Lances and they are ordinary humans!¡± Jamesughed. I guess he heard their profanities. And yeah he was right, we¡¯re different.


    I found myself in a dark room where colors danced vividly against the walls and ceiling. My body wasn¡¯t used to the rhythms which echoed through the dark room.


    I had chosen to wear a pink off-shouldered crop-top and high-waisted denim shorts. I paired it with a ck boot. I let my hair down, and they reached my waist. My make up was simple with a dark lipstick. Aubrey had helped me out with my look tonight. It was a look to make me confident. I¡¯ve been to a club once or twice, so tonight, I was being faked to fit in. A perfect picture of a crazy club girl¡­ which was never my thing.


    I bumped into two people kissing. Shit, they really have no shame! They could get a private ce to do all that! I eximed in my mind. To my surprise they weren¡¯t the only ones doing it. Some other couples did the same on that floor.


    And I questioned myself if it was the right thing to do? If it was right choice to be here tonight, with these hormonally imbnced people around!


    ¡°We¡¯re heading to the VVIP section, so don¡¯t worry you won¡¯t see any of those there,¡± James said.


    The club was loud with way more people in here than there should be. But I have to admit the atmosphere in the VVIP section was good and the DJ was amazing. We settled at the table for five.


    James beckoned to the waiter and ordered. ¡°Champagne, white wine-¡±


    Ava interrupted him quickly. ¡°Add a bottle of whiskey.¡±


    My eyes widened in shock. ¡°Who¡¯s gonna drink all of that?¡± I questioned.


    ¡°Tequ please,¡± Tori ordered. And I huffed.


    ¡°You are not drinking tonight kiddo!¡± James said. Can he stop calling me kiddo?


    ¡°Why?¡± Ava asked.


    ¡°Dad warned me not to allow her drink!¡± he shouted over the loud music. ¡°Lemonade for her please.¡± James gave me a wicked smirk.


    ¡°That¡¯s not fair enough!¡± Ava retorted.


    ¡°Sorry love but dad warned me not to get his Bumblebee drunk tonight,¡± he said.


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t have to get drunk! I mean she can just drink a little. Remember we don¡¯t get drunk easily,¡± Ava reminded him.


    Yeah, we¡¯re werewolves, alcohol doesn¡¯t affect us like it does to mere humans unless we drink too much, I mean excessively.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay Ava. Moreover I don¡¯t drink. And-¡± I stopped. And I¡¯m just here to fulfill my part of a silly deal I made with my annoying give-and-take brother, I said internally.


    ¡°It¡¯s¡­ just fine,¡± I breathed out.


    ¡°Okay. But I have to tell you, Avery you look good tonight.¡± She smiled. My cheeks flustered.


    ¡°Oh, thanks!¡±


    The waiter brought our orders and we all tried to make conversations over the loud music. Ava and her friends mocked a group of girls at the other end of the room because one of them had mistakenly spilled wine on her friend¡¯s dress while staring at James. I know my brother was handsome, it was easy for him to catch any girl.


    It was obvious Ava was jealous anotherdy was looking at her mate. And it took her extra effort to calm her wolf.


    ¡°I¡¯m all yours Ava,¡± James bit her earlobe to calm her down.


    James shouted at the waiter to bring more drinks to the table. And after some minutes Shea screamed, ¡°Who wants a fucking dance?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s hit the dance floor!¡± Ava and her girls shouted. I shook my head when James offered to help me up.


    ¡°I¡¯ll stay here.¡± James rolled his eyes.


    ¡°So fucking boring kiddo,¡± He said.


    ¡°I don¡¯t wanna dance James,¡± I said with a serious expression.


    ¡°Okay, okay, fine.¡± He threw his hands up. ¡°But please don¡¯t wander around kiddo.¡± He smirked. Oh,e on! I¡¯m not going anywhere with a bunch of drunk assholes hanging around here! James rushed to join the girls on the dance floor.

    THEME: My mate, I found him!


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    The waiter brought our orders and we all tried to make conversations over the loud music. Ava and her friends mocked a group of girls at the other end of the room because one of them had mistakenly spilled wine on her friend¡¯s dress while staring at James. I know my brother was handsome, it was easy for him to catch any girl.


    It was obvious Ava was jealous anotherdy was looking at her mate. And it took her extra effort to calm her wolf.


    ¡°I¡¯m all yours Ava,¡± James bit her earlobe to calm her down.


    James shouted at the waiter to bring more drinks to the table. And after some minutes Shea screamed, ¡°Who wants a fucking dance?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s hit the dance floor!¡± Ava and her girls shouted. I shook my head when James offered to help me up.


    ¡°I¡¯ll stay here.¡± James rolled his eyes.


    ¡°So fucking boring kiddo,¡± He said.


    ¡°I don¡¯t wanna dance James,¡± I said with a serious expression.


    ¡°Okay, okay, fine.¡± He threw his hands up. ¡°But please don¡¯t wander around kiddo.¡± He smirked. Oh,e on! I¡¯m not going anywhere with a bunch of drunk assholes hanging around here! James rushed to join the girls on the dance floor.


    I watched several humans bumping and grinding on the dance floor. Ava held on to James tightly when she noticed thedy earlier next to James. She was making an eye contact with him, trying to gain his attention. It¡¯s a pity James wasn¡¯t looking her way. He wouldn¡¯t dare look at another girl with Ava clinging to him.


    I really wished I could say these words to thatdy: ¡°Be carefuldy, Ava might rip your heart out if you go after her man.¡± Iughed at my own words.


    I didn¡¯t know what the time was, but I knew I stared at the dance floor for a long time. Shea and Tori had hooked up with some random guys they just met at the dance floor. Geez! We aren¡¯t leaving here until midnight, I grumbled internally.


    All of a sudden, a thick smell filled my nostrils. There was a wolf in this section, a different wolf, probably a bloodline Alpha. I turned my head in confusion at the delicious scent that filled my nose. What the hell is going on?


    I became boggled when my wolf lurched in excitement. She hummed in happiness. I was sweaty and thirsty so I grabbed the bottle of water on the table and drank the whole contents. But nothing worked. The scent came again, stronger this time, I turned my head abruptly to search for whoever owns the scent.


    ¡°What the fuck?¡± I muttered as I found a guy staring at me. He had a confused expression on his face too.


    Shit, shit! This can¡¯t be happening! I panicked when I couldn¡¯t control my wolf. She was raging to be let out into the opening. But I can¡¯t let that happen! We are in a room filled with humans!


    She hummed in excitement again. It was a sign that urred anytime a wolf finds her mate.


    My mate, I just found him!


    Our gaze met again but I looked away quickly. I can¡¯t look at him. I didn¡¯t expect to find my mate soon. I never imagined finding My mate here tonight.


    The fear of finding my mate had frozen my interior. He was standing at the other end, and I could feel his eyes on me.


    Avery pretend like you don¡¯t feel anything, I concluded.


    Slowly I looked up only to see my mate striding towards me. Oh dear Goddess, he¡¯sing to me!


    His deep blue-green eyes captivated me. His dark ck hair was messy giving him a bad-boy look. He was filled with confidence as he walked with deadly grace. My body instantly began to heat up at the sight of him.


    I got up, grabbed my small bag and fled. I walked away shakily without looking back at him.


    For a second, I heard a growl behind me but I didn¡¯t stop. My wolf hummed in disapproval as I hastened my steps to get away from my so-called mate. She was sad.


    I don¡¯t want a mate, I reject having a mate at this point in time. Maybe I¡¯ll reconsider it in few years time.


    ===================


    ¡°Where is James?¡± Juan asked as I walked into the house.


    ¡°He¡¯s still at the club,¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°So why are you home alone and early?¡± Juan requested. I nced up at the wall clock, the time was 10:30pm.


    ¡°I got tired and felt a bit ufortable,¡± I lied as I bit the inside of my cheeks. I didn¡¯t want to disclose what I found at the club to anyone.


    ¡°Are you okay Avery?¡± Juan asked, concern in his tone.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m-¡± I was interrupted by a beeping sound. Juan reached for his phone in his pocket.


    ¡°James is calling. Hello James,¡± he said.


    Juan looked at me and frowned. I couldn¡¯t tell what James was saying to him. Oh dear Goddess, Don¡¯t let it be that my mate already met with James!


    ¡°Yeah she¡¯s home,¡± Juan said. I made an attempt to leave but soon stopped in my track when Juan growled, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare move an inch Avery.¡± My heartbeat rapidly and panic filled me.


    ¡°James said you didn¡¯t say anything to him before leaving the club. Why didn¡¯t you say goodbye to him or at least inform him that you are heading home?¡± he said with a little raised tone.


    James must have been really worried about me. He must have thought that I had wandered around the club.


    I heaved a sigh of relief first, thankful that my mate didn¡¯t find James. Why would he find James?


    ¡°James was so worried about you,¡± Juan added. And I said the next words that urred to me.


    ¡°I¡­ I¡­ didn¡¯t want to disturb his sweet moments with Ava.¡±


    Juan studied me before he gave me a short nod. ¡°You can go ahead,¡± he said.


    ¡°Good night Juan, ¡± I muttered before walking towards my room.


    I went straight to the bathroom and removed my jewelry and the make up I had on. I stripped out of my clothing and took a quick shower. I grabbed a pyjamas in my closet and flopped on my bed in exhaustion.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    I pushed away every thought of my mate stirring up in my mind. ¡°I don¡¯t want him,¡± I chanted several times but soon drifted off to sleep.

 EPISODE FIVE

    THEME: Mates meeting again


    ( Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    THREE DAYS LATER


    The sun was shinning brightly in the blue skies. My wolf was raging inside, begging to be let out. We haven¡¯t ran in the woods in a while now, so I decided to give her a chance today. I really missed hunting games with James.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have some fun princess,¡± I muttered as I stopped in track right in front of a big tree. I came out of my clothes and hid them safely behind the tree.


    I shape-shifted into my wolf form, white fur reced my delicate skin, my fingers changed to long ws and fangs reced what had been a perfect dentition. I growled loudly into the sky before getting my limbs into full action. And that made my wolf happier. She liked to be in total control.


    I didn¡¯t know what the time was, but the sun was already kissing the earth goodbye when my wolf stopped running. I knew we ran for hours, wandering around our territory. She uttered a low guttural sound signifying that she needed to quench the thirst in her burning throat.


    My wolf nced around and sighted a brook beyond. She rushed towards the body of running water which was smaller than a river and she let herself drink enough. She growled in satisfaction before sprawling out on the ground in exhaustion.


    Suddenly she heard another growl which was pretty close by. She snapped her head up abruptly and her ears perked when it came again. She hummed in excitement.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± I asked.


    ¡°He¡¯s here,¡± she replied happily.


    ¡°Who?¡± I questioned.


    She tilted her head towards the opposite direction and I found another wolf staring at me. I recognized him immediately when I saw the blue-green eyed wolf . Oh no, he can¡¯t be here! How did he find me? Was my mate someone from our territory? Oh dear Goddess, what do I do?


    I sensed him making a bond connection with my wolf but I stopped it. I tried to move my wolf but she wanted to stay.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± I snapped at her.


    ¡°I¡¯m not moving,¡± she gritted.


    ¡°What? Move now princess!¡± I shouted.


    He growled in frustration seeing that I had stopped whatever connection it was trying to make. My wolf looked straight into his eyes and our gaze locked.


    ¡°Our mate is here,¡± she said in excitement.


    ¡°Don¡¯t ept him!¡± I barked. And he started towards me. ¡°Shit! Shit! We have to get out of here, right now!¡± I snarled at my wolf.


    She let out a low guttural sound in frustration before she started backwards, turned around and fled into the woods.


    ¡°Good girl,¡± I said.


    ¡°That¡¯s not fair,¡± she said soberly. I knew it was wrong to run away from my mate.


    A protracted mournful loud cry stopped my wolf in her tracks. ¡°And now he¡¯s sad,¡± my wolf hummed in sadness.


    I heard my mate howling into the evening skies. And I became sad too as I listened to his prolonged cry. He must be really sad that I had ran away from him.


    ¡°Should we head back to him?¡± my wolf asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want a mate!¡± I eximed, making my wolf sad again.


    She continued running at a fast speed until we finally reached the tree I had left my clothes. It was gettingte and dad must be really worried about me because I didn¡¯t inform anyone that I wasing out into the woods.


    I shape-shifted into my human form and hid my naked body behind the tree. I put on my clothes and turned to head back to the Pack House.


    ¡°How long would you continue running from me?¡± a voice growled angrily behind me. I turned abruptly and found my mate right in front of me. He followed me!


    ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± I paused, not knowing what to say to him. He was standing there with nothing but a pair of jeans on. Instantly my body began to heat up at the sight of his naked upper body. His hair was really messy, his lips¡­ oh dear Goddess! Are those dusty pink Lips that you want to kiss all day. And let¡¯s not forget the tattoos that were scattered across his thick arms and his eight packs were well-defined and built.


    My mate strode towards me, his deep blue-green eyes locked my dark ones as he stopped in front of me. My body temperature was rising even higher as he was close to me. I had to stop myself from drooling over my handsome mate. So I moved backwards.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare try to run again,¡± he growled angrily. And I canceled my ns of running away from him again. I can¡¯t keep running like a coward because I don¡¯t want him.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I am your mate! I¡¯m sure you know that already,¡± he snapped.


    ¡°No,¡± I lied.


    He gave me a confused look.


    ¡°No? You don¡¯t know I¡¯m your mate?¡± he said in a low tone. I stifled back augh. Of course I know you¡¯re my mate, but I just want to act like I don¡¯t know!


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± I muttered.


    He frowned. ¡°But I just made a connection with your wolf and it responded,¡± he said.


    My eyes widened in shock. Damn it, my wolf had betrayed me earlier. She epted his wolf connection.


    ¡°You know,¡± he blurted out. Fuck, now he knows I¡¯m his mate. No, no, I don¡¯t want a fucking mate! Not now, not anytime soon.


    ¡°Are you from this pack?¡± I moved away from him.


    ¡°No,¡± he replied.


    I looked at him. ¡°That¡¯s trespassing.¡± I red at him. ¡°Our territory has been marked which means as a werewolf from another pack, you can¡¯te into my territory!¡± I shouted. A deep frown creased his forehead.


    ¡°Did you forget such rule existed before you crossed my territory earlier?¡± he asked.


    I raised my eyebrows. ¡°I didn¡¯t cross your territory.¡±


    ¡°You did. You crossed my territory and I crossed yours too. So we are even,¡± he said looking a bit annoyed.


    Did I really cross his territory? Oh, the brook! I didn¡¯t know my wolf had straggled into another territory.


    ¡°Also don¡¯t try to deny the fact that you don¡¯t know that I¡¯m your mate. You sensed my scent at the club,¡± he spat out.


    ¡°I-¡± He cut me off.


    ¡°You ran away!¡± he used.


    I shouldn¡¯t be having this discussion with him. It was sickening for me to find out that my mate is not from my Pack. I don¡¯t even know him! And seriously? I¡¯m not interested in knowing him.


    ¡°You¡¯re on Moonlight Territory, so you better leave before the Alpha finds you,¡± I said finally before turning to leave. But he grabbed my wrist and swirled me to face him again.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Fuck it, you¡¯re mine Avery!¡± he growled angrily. I gasped in shock. He knows my name! Howe he knows my name?


    ¡°Who are you?¡± I struggled to free myself.


    ¡°I am your mate!¡± He pulled me to his body and collided his lips on mine. I tried to push him but he tightened his grip on me. His lips moved over mine gently but I didn¡¯t kiss him back. I don¡¯t want him, I don¡¯t want a mate!


    He released me the moment he realized that I wasn¡¯t interested in kissing him back and I wanted to be away from him. I pulled away quickly as if he had burned me. My heart constricted with pain when I felt my wolf sadness.


    I had just rejected my mate and he knew it too. My chest tightened on seeing his hurt expression. My mate was hurt by my denial.


    I almost leaned forward to kiss him but I stopped myself. I couldn¡¯t. I don¡¯t want a mate yet.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going to give up on you. Avery Lance, you¡¯ll ept me as your mate,¡± he blurted out before turning to leave at a close run. I sensed the sorrow in his tone. He was hurt by my rejection.


    Mates ought to share a kiss at first meeting. It was sign of eptance by both parties. But I don¡¯t want to ept my mate.


    I felt tears rushing in my eyes. I can¡¯t ept him! I have a lot to do and epting him would disrupt my well-constructed ns for the future.

    THEME: What do they say about dreams?


    ?


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    ONE WEEK LATER


    What do they say about dreams? The future belongs to those who believed in the beauty of their dreams.


    I have a dream, a big dream of bing an engineer. I¡¯ve always had that dream in my heart since I was a little girl. I strived to achieve it as I grew day-by-day. I wanted to break a record in Moonlight Pack as the first female mechanical engineer.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    What do they say about dreams again? All our dreams cane true if we have the courage to pursue them.


    I was determined to be an engineer, so I had enrolled into college at eighteen and I major in Mechanical Engineering. I have two more years to round up. And I n to run for Masters Degree after graduation.


    Dreams are necessary for life. But I don¡¯t see myself achieving any of these dreams if I ept my mate. I¡¯ve seen werewolves give up their dreams just to be with their mates. I can¡¯t do that-I havee too far.


    Juan wanted to be a doctor but he switched courses when he found his mate at eighteen.


    Aubrey ought to get her Masters Degree but once she found her mate, she gave up and settled with him.


    James had a chance to travel to Australia but he gave up a deal that could have favored our Pack because he found Ava. He couldn¡¯t stand the chance of being away from his mate.


    I can go on and on¡­ some of my ssmates didn¡¯t make it to college because they all settled down with their mates instead.


    Every focused person I know derailed from their dreams once they found their soulmate.


    I can¡¯t give my dreams up to be my mate.


    When I was fifteen, I had prayed to the Moon Goddess during the moon celebration that my mate shouldn¡¯t find me. But fate bite me in the ass and brought him in an unexpected way.


    No one was aware that I had found my mate! And I rejected him. I wouldn¡¯t disclose it to anyone¡­ not even dad because the moment he finds out, then I¡¯m done for. He won¡¯t hesitate to drag me to my mate.


    I heaved a sigh as I dumped thest piece of clothes into my box. College resumes in a week and so I was preparing to leave home to the dormitory in three days¡¯ time.


    I moved over to therge mirror and ran my hand through my hair for several minutes. I let out a yawn. I flopped onto my bed deciding to take a nap just to catch up on sleep.


    All of a sudden, a sharp pain jolted me up and I felt tears streaming in my eyes. I let out a ugly scream when I felt the pain again.


    My bedroom door busted open and mom rushed in.


    ¡°Avery, what¡¯s wrong?¡± she asked, concern in her tone. I screamed and held my chest. ¡°Avery! Talk to me! Somebody help.¡± she screamed in panic.


    My breath caught in my chest and my voice failed me. The pain became unbearable.


    ¡°Somebody help!¡± Mom shouted. I heard more footsteps in the room but I couldn¡¯t see anyone. I knew I was losing consciousness quickly. ¡°Call the doctor!¡± my mom snarled. And that was thest thing I heard before I cked outpletely.


    ===================


    I peeled my eyes open slowly, feeling weak.


    ¡°Oh Avery, can you hear me?¡± My head snapped towards the direction of the voice. It was my mom. And the whole family were present in my room.


    ¡°Wha¡­ what happened?¡± I asked. My mom had a worried look on her face. ¡°What happened?¡± I asked again. My mom popped a pillow behind me to help me sit upfortably.


    ¡°We should be the one asking that question Avery.¡± Juan raked his hands through his hair.


    ¡°What happened Bumblebee?¡± my dad asked.


    I shut my eyes and recalled the reason why I had passed out. The pain in my chest had caused it. I tried to think of what must have caused such pain. But nothing urred to me.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know dad,¡± I muttered.


    ¡°Then why did you scream like that? It was obvious you were in so much pain¡± My mom flicked my hair behind my ear.


    ¡°Tell us what¡¯s going on Bumblebee,¡± my dad said again.


    ¡°I was taking a nap when I felt the pain,¡± I replied.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Doctor May said you¡¯ll be fine.¡± Dad ced a kiss on my forehead. ¡°You should rest now.¡± I nodded in agreement. Juan kissed me before leaving the room with the others.


    I sighed before lying back in bed. I put my head against the pillow as I tried to sleep but my mate kept popping up in my mind. What¡¯s he doing? Will he find me again? Series of questions stormed my mind. But soon I fell asleep with my mate on my mind.


    =========================


    I snapped my eyes open when I heard the beating of drums. My ears perked up as the sound drew closer. War cries and drums! My heartbeat perked up as I hopped out of bed and stormed out of my room. No one was inside the Pack House, so I rushed outside.


    My eyes widen in shock at the sight in front of me. Warriors stood outside our home. I was confused for some moments. I recognized the emblem on the warriors outfits. They are men from the ck moon Pack. Why are they here?


    ¡°Men of ck moon pack there¡¯s no need to dere war. Our Pack only asked for Alpha Alex¡¯s help,¡± Juan said.


    A man from ck moon Pack stepped closer. ¡°Young Alpha we are not here for the contract.¡± He¡¯s definitely not an Alpha because he bowed to Juan and my dad.


    ¡°Then why are you here with your war men general?¡± James asked, annoyance clear in his tone.


    ¡°We¡¯re here to take what belongs to us¡± the general answered. And the other men parted for someone. A man appeared wearing a ck cloak. The aura around him was strong and I knew he was an Alpha, Alex the Alpha of ck moon Pack.


    Dad walked forward to meet him halfway. ¡°Good to see you again Alex,¡± my dad greeted.


    ¡°Sorry we¡¯re meeting like this again,¡± Alex apologized.


    ¡°I do not have anything that belongs to you,¡± Dad said.


    ¡°Of course you do Lance,¡± Alex chuckled.


    ¡°Then what is it?¡± Dad demanded.


    ¡°Is she your child?¡± Alex asked as his eyes did a slow crawl on me.


    ¡°Yes, she¡¯s ourst child,¡± Mom answered Alex.


    ¡°Forgive me Luna. It¡¯s good to see you again.¡± He smiled.


    ¡°Likewise,¡± Mom muttered.


    ¡°Well my son went hunting with his men this afternoon but unfortunately he was attacked by a wolf hunter.¡± He stopped.


    ¡°Oh! sorry about that Alex,¡± my dad said.


    ¡°Have you treated him?¡± Mom asked.


    Alex nodded. ¡°It¡¯s nothing big. My son is strong enough to heal but he needs his mate to heal rapidly,¡± Alex blurted out. My heartbeat raced at the mention of mate.


    ¡°Has your son found his mate?¡± Juan asked.


    ¡°Yes and I¡¯m here to get her,¡± Alex replied.


    I looked up at him and our gaze locked.


    ¡°Perhaps is your son¡¯s mate from my Pack?¡± Dad asked.


    ¡°Yes Lance.¡±


    ¡°Who is she? Tell me Alex so I can ask my men to fetch her,¡± Dad said. Alex gave me a small smile


    ¡°She is¡­¡± he said. My family gasped out in shock and my eyes widened in surprise.

    THEME: War Drums


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    My eyes widened in shock at the sight in front of me. Warriors stood outside our home. I was confused for some moments. I recognized the emblem on the warriors outfits. They are men from the ck moon Pack. Why are they here?

    ¡°Who is she? Tell me Alex so I can ask my men to fetch her,¡± Dad said.


    Alex gave me a small smile. ¡°She is my son¡¯s mate.¡± he said.


    My family gasped out in shock and my eyes widened in surprise.


    ¡°¡­ Avery Lance is Kayden Scott¡¯s mate,¡± Alex blurted out. I shut my eyes, my heartbeat pounding against my chest like it was going to pop out anytime soon.


    Oh no, this can¡¯t be happening! Kayden Scott the next Alpha of ck moon Pack is my mate. That exins the aura I sensed around him at the club. And when he mentioned that my wolf wandered about in his territory¡­ oh dear Goddess, this is a dream! Somebody please wake me up!


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± James shouted. And I reopened my eyes immediately.


    ¡°Why is it impossible?¡± Alex asked but got no response from James. ¡°Lance, aren¡¯t you aware your daughter knows her mate?¡± Alex asked again.


    ¡°Alex, there must be a mistake somewhere. Avery hasn¡¯t found her mate yet,¡± my dad retorted.


    He doesn¡¯t know! Oh dear¡­ I should have told him. I panicked.


    ¡°She knows my son is her mate but she rejected him!¡± Alex spat out, earning gasps from my family.


    ¡°Alex-¡± Dad was interrupted by alpha Alex.


    ¡°Their first meeting was at the club ten days ago. My son tried to talk to his mate but she fled. The second meeting was seven days ago when she crossed my territory in her wolf form. My son found her but she almost rejected him.¡± Alex finished. I could sense the anger in his tone. ¡°Why don¡¯t you just ask her?¡± he added.


    My dad turned to face me. ¡°Bumblebee.. is that true?¡± he asked in a low tone. I bowed my head to avoid his gaze.


    ¡°Yes dad,¡± I whispered.


    ¡°Holy shit!¡± James uttered a profanity.


    I couldn¡¯t look at any of them.


    ¡°Bumblebee¡­¡± Dad paused. I couldn¡¯t look him. I could imagine the look of disappointment in his expression. I had hid such a thing as finding my mate from him, I was too embarrassed to look at anyone.


    ¡°I¡¯m not leaving your territory until I have her with me. My son needs his mate to healpletely,¡± Alex said. Tears pooled in my eyes. That also exined the pains I felt this afternoon. It must have been the same time the hunter attacked my mate.


    ¡°And I also want to know the reason why she rejected my son.¡± Alpha Alex spat out.


    ¡°Alex, please give me some time to talk to my child. Even though it¡¯s not right, she must have a reason for almost rejecting her mate,¡± my dad said calmly.


    ¡°Let it be a good one so I can consider our contract.¡± Alex snorted. Juan gestured to one of his men to lead Alex and his men to the guest house.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you inform me that you have found your mate?¡± my dad snarled and I jumped in fear. He has never yelled at me like this before. ¡°You made look like a fool Avery!¡± he yelled. And I could see the clear anger on his expression.¡±What sort of father do you want Alex to see me as? A Father who is incapable of running a home or even a pack? A Father who doesn¡¯t care about his children?¡± he questioned.


    ¡°No¡­ no¡­ dad-¡± I stuttered.


    ¡°You found your mate and you almost rejected him! Who does that Avery?¡± Juan asked in a raised tone.


    ¡°And didn¡¯t you think about his feelings too?¡± Dad shouted. His words echoed in my mind. Tears streamed down my face and I couldn¡¯t control them.


    ¡°Rx honey, Avery must have a reason for rejecting her mate.¡± Mom tried to calm him down.


    ¡°What she did was wrong!¡± he blurted out.


    ¡°I know.¡± Mom nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Avery did you reject him because he is the future Alpha of ck moon Pack?¡± Aubrey asked softly.


    I shook my head. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t reject him. I just don¡¯t want him. And I wasn¡¯t even aware that he was Kayden Scott,¡± I answered.


    ¡°That¡¯s because you didn¡¯t give him a chance to talk to you the night you met him at the club!¡± Dad growled.


    ¡°Honey-¡±


    He cut mom off. ¡°Let her know what she did wasn¡¯t fair enough. If Alex hasn¡¯t been nice then rejecting his son would have caused a big problem between our territories. And do you know what means? War, war!¡± Dad snarled.


    Damn it! I should have thought of my people and not my personal feelings.


    ¡°Dad you really have to calm down and listen to Avery,¡± Aubrey said. Dad hesitated before settling on the couch. ¡°Why did you reject him Avery?¡± Aubrey ced her hands on mine.


    I swallowed hard and spoke up. ¡°I¡­ I¡­ thought¡­ epting him would disturb my dreams,¡± I sobbed.


    ¡°What!¡± They gasped in sheer surprise.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± James frowned. I wiped my cheeks.


    ¡°Juan changed course because he found Juliet. And you Aubrey, you didn¡¯t get to do the things you nned because you found Donald too.¡± I huped, trying to calm my breathing. ¡°James didn¡¯t go to Australia because he didn¡¯t want to leave Ava. So I just thought epting my mate would affect my studies too. I am sorry dad. I am so sorry¡­ I didn¡¯t mean to hurt you or make you look like a fool. I swear I was also surprised to find out that my mate is the future Alpha of the Pack that refused to help you. And if I had known his identity, then I wouldn¡¯t have hesitated in epting him to save our pack. I am so sorry.¡± I sobbed in my palms.


    ¡°Please forgive me dad.¡± I cried for a long time and no one said anything.


    ¡°You are mistaken Bumblebee.¡± I raised my head when I felt his hands in my shoulder.


    ¡°None of that happened the way you see it,¡± Juan said calmly. ¡°I didn¡¯t give up medicine because of my mate. I just realized that I needed to help dad. As an Alpha I can¡¯t move around in white coat because I have to run the affairs of the Pack.¡± He exined.


    I looked up at him. So that¡¯s it!


    ¡°Avery, I didn¡¯t run for my degree because I found out I was carrying Donald¡¯s child and so we agreed to have our children before I run for the program again,¡± Aubrey said.


    ¡°About traveling to Australia, I found out it was a trap to ruin our Pack. That was why I rejected it. But where did you get the impressions that we gave up our dreams because of our mates?¡± James eximed.


    I was wrong, so wrong! Why didn¡¯t I question Juan, Aubrey and James for making such decision?


    ¡°I don¡¯t think we should me Avery for her decision. It¡¯s our fault that she doesn¡¯t want her mate.¡± My mom said calmly.


    ¡°How is it our fault?¡± James asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s our fault because we excluded her from every n we make in the family. We thought she was too young to get involved. And so she didn¡¯t know your real reasons for making some decisions because we hid so many things from her.¡± Mom exined.


    Wepsed into silence. ¡°You are right mom.¡± Juan agreed.


    ¡°But she shouldn¡¯t have rejected him.¡± James said.


    A ugly sob escaped my mouth again. I was wrong, it was so wrong of me to reject my mate. I just jumped into conclusion that finding your mate meant distraction.


    ¡°Avery epting your mate won¡¯t stop your studies.¡± Juan said.


    ¡°As long as you get to reach an agreement with him.¡± Aubrey added.


    ¡°I still have two years to end my course and I also want to get an extra degree. Would my mate be willing to wait for me?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Only him can answer that, just try to have an understanding with him.¡± James said.


    ¡°And does that mean that I have to leave our Pack?¡± I asked with a sad face.


    ¡°I am sorry Bumblebee, you have to leave today to be with him.¡± Dad patted my shoulder gently.


    I can¡¯t believe that I have to leave our Pack to be with my mate!


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to be away from-¡±


    Aubrey interrupted me. ¡°Your mate needs you.¡±


    So yeah, I am really going to leave my Pack House!


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity we can¡¯t hold a party for you. You have to meet your mate quickly.¡± James said soberly.


    We always hold a party in our house each time one of us finds a mate.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go ahead and talk to Alex.¡± Dad said.


    ¡°I aming with you.¡± Juan stood up and left the house with dad.

 EPISODE EIGHT

    THEME: ck Moon Pack


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    It has been three days since I moved to ck Moon Pack to take care of my unconscious Mate. The Pack house was bigger than my home. Beatrice Scott, the Luna of the Pack had weed me with open arms at first meeting. She revealed that Kayden had followed me to our home the night I fled from the club. I assumed that was when he found out I was Avery Lance. She told me a lot of things about him. And she said that Kayden didn¡¯t stop talking about how beautiful his mate was and so she wasn¡¯t really surprised to find out that I was indeed beautiful like he had said.


    I met his younger sister, Katherine Scott who was pregnant. She was two years older than me. Kate helped me to know some things about my mate. I must admit that the Scotts are nice people. And I am getting used to the fact that this ce would be my future home.


    I said my good nights to the family before heading to Kayden¡¯s room. He was still asleep in bed.


    I grabbed my pajamas and walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower. Once I did, I came out of the bathroom andid next to Kayden in bed.


    I breathed out heavily as I watched him. His face was free of worry. He was rxed. My hand suddenly touched his face. ¡°I really don¡¯t know what to say to you because I still feel bad for rejecting you. I am sorry for causing you pain. Please forgive me Kayden.¡± A tear slid down my cheek.


    ¡°I ept you as my mate, please just wake up and talk to me.¡± I rested my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat ringing in my ear.


    Suddenly a hand poked my cheek and I raised my head to see my mate smiling at me. ¡°Kayden-¡± My voice broke. He smiled again, revealing his dimple. He was really awake, I hugged him tightly!


    I remained quiet as I embraced him. ¡°I am mad at you for not wanting me at first.¡± he said.


    I think he heard me saying I epted him. Slowly I pulled away to look at him. ¡°I am sorry.¡± More tears dropped down my face. ¡°I am so sorry Kayden. I was just-¡±


    He ced a finger on my lips. ¡°Don¡¯t say anything,¡± he muttered. No, I have to tell him! He deserved to know the reason why I almost rejected him.


    I started to speak again but he silenced me. ¡°My dad already exined your reason for rejecting me.¡± he said.


    My eyes widened. ¡°He did?¡± I asked and he nodded. I raised my eyebrows in confusion. ¡°But¡­ you have been unconscious for days now.¡± I said.


    ¡°Yes but I regained consciousness this morning.¡± He replied. My jaw dropped slightly. ¡°I told them to hide it from you.¡± He added.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know. And why?¡± I asked with a frown.


    ¡°I wanted to hear more of your confessions.¡± He smiled.


    I rolled my eyes. No wonder Beatrice insisted that I should go with her to buy groceries! She didn¡¯t let me into his room till we ate dinner.


    ¡°My ns worked. I mean, you just confessed that you ept me as your mate.¡± He gave me a smug look.


    I remained silent, just taking in his handsome features. My gaze wandered to his lips.


    ¡°I want you to say it again.¡± he said.


    ¡°What?¡± I tried to pull away from him but he flipped us and he was bending over me.


    ¡°Say that you ept me as your mate.¡± He kissed the hollow of my neck before looking at me.


    I looked away but he tilted my jaw gently to look at him. ¡°You are mine Avery Lance. And I want to hear you ept me while looking straight into my eyes.¡± He said.


    My wolf hummed in excitement. I held his gaze with shyness, hyper aware of the manly bulge between my thighs as he held me close to his body. I felt the wetness gathering in-between my thighs too.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°I ept you, Kayden Scott as my mate.¡± I said finally.


    A genuine smile brightened up his attractive features as he looked into my eyes with intimacy and endearment.


    ¡°You are mine Avery Lance!¡± He crashed his lips on mine and I gasped.


    Sparks and electric-like shocks of pleasure and happiness erupted from his simple touch. Slowly our tongues tangled in a passionate kiss and I moaned. I bit his lower lip with my teeth and pulled it in my mouth.


    ¡°Avery, every single part of your body belongs to me.¡± Kayden growled as he wrapped his manly arms around my curvaceous waist. I let out a low growl of pleasure as he kissed my neck. He moved to my ear and kissed my earlobe ¡°Marry me Avery Lance.¡± he whispered into my ears.


    I pushed at his chest. ¡°What?¡± I look at him thinking he was crazy but he was clearly rxed and serious. ¡°Kayden I still have-¡±


    ¡°To study for two years and get a degree.¡± Hepleted my intended statement. ¡°I know all of that Avery.¡± He leaned in, tracing my bottom lip with his thumb.


    ¡°I can¡¯t give that up, Kayden.¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°Yes I know and I am not asking you to give it up. And I am willing to wait but I just need you to say yes, for me to be sure that you won¡¯t run away again.¡± He smirked.


    ¡°I am not going to do that!¡± I eximed.


    ¡°Sure?¡± he asked.


    I rolled my eyes. ¡°I am not going to run away Kayden.¡± I replied.


    He kissed my lips quickly. ¡°Then marry me.¡± He said.


    ¡°Are you sure about this Kayden?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I have waited for too long for my mate. And I don¡¯t want anything more than I want you, Avery Lance.¡± Kayden said.


    And before I could reply him, Kayden ced his lips on mine and I kissed him back eagerly.


    I pulled away from him and muttered, ¡°Yes!¡± And that made his smile broader. He mmed his mouth against mine and I ran my hand through his hair, pulling him closer to deepen the kiss.


    I epted my mate, I found my soulmate, someone who has a special connection with me.


    Now I believe Fate really has funny ways of bringing people together.

    PART TWO


    (The Alpha¡¯s Mate and his Mistress)


    THEME: The concern of a father


    BLACK MOON PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    The afternoon sun bathed the pack building in its warm light. Tiny specks of dust seemed to dance in the shaft of afternoon sunlight that nted through the window. I stood there ncing out through the window, looking at the pack building that were visible to my eyesights. I watched until it was evening time.


    The door cracked open but I didn¡¯t turn to look. Soon I felt a hand snake around my waist and hot breathe med on the sensitive spot on my neck.


    ¡°Are you ready to go for a walk with me?¡± Kayden asked, kissing his way around my exposed neck.


    I dropped his hand from my waist and turned to face him. ¡°What took you so long?¡± I asked with a frown on my face.


    ¡°Did you miss me that much?¡± Kayden smirked.


    I stepped away from him. ¡°Of course not, I was.. just waiting for you toe take me out for a walk.¡± I answered.


    Kayden pulled me closer to his body. ¡°I know I promised to be back sooner but I just got swamped with the pack works.¡± He had an apologetic look on his face.


    ¡°Alright.¡± I managed to smile.


    ¡°Are we good?¡± He asked.


    I nodded my head positively. Kayden had promised to go for a walk with me to show me around the pack and introduce me to his people who are very important in the pack as his Luna.


    Young Luna? I still found it strange when the maid who served me breakfast called me by that title this morning. I tried to correct her to simply call me by my name but she rejected it stating that she would be penalized for it.


    Young Luna still sounded strange in my ears but I hoped to get use to the life of being a Luna of a pack.


    Kayden kissed my forehead. ¡°We should have dinner before heading out. Mother invited us to taste her new recipe.¡± Kayden held my hand in his and kissed our locked hands.


    ¡°Should we turn down her invite?¡± Kayden asked.


    It seemed like he was doing everything to make mefortable and also give me a chance to make my own decisions.


    ¡°No, let us have dinner with her. I am hungry.¡± I answered.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± Kayden caressed my cheeks with his knuckles.


    ¡°It won¡¯t be nice to turn down a food invite.¡± I joked earning a chuckle from Kayden as we moved out of the bedroom.


    ¡°Hey Avery.. why did you stay all day in your room?¡± Luna Beatrice asked.


    ¡°I am sorry.. I was just studying.¡± I apologized as I settled close to Kayden.


    Luna Beatrice shed me a bright smile. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I was just bored in the pack house so I decided to try out some new dishes from my recipe book.¡± she said, pointing to the tableden with all sorts of food I could not decipher.


    ¡°This is nice.¡± Imented.


    We were just few people at the table. Alpha Alex Scott, Luna Beatrice and Katherine whose hands moved over her protruded belly.


    ¡°Are you alright?¡± Kayden asked his sister.


    Alpha Alex Scott dropped the book he was reading when he heard Kayden question. He had acted like I was not in the room when I stepped in with Kayden but now there was a concerned look on his face towards his daughter.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°Is it time for the baby¡¯s arrival?¡± Alpha Alex Scott asked.


    It reminded me of my father when my sister was pregnant. Everyone heads snapped up at him.


    ¡°Are you alright?¡± Alpha Alex asked again.


    ¡°Father, I am still few weeks behind. Please can you stop acting like you are the one pregnant? Even my mate is not as worried as you are about the baby.¡± Katherine answered and they all bursted intoughter.


    ¡°I care so much about you, Katherine. And I am really anxious about meeting my first grandchild.¡± Alpha Alex Scott chuckled.


    Even though the Scott had epted me as their son¡¯s mate, I still feel like I am walking on egg shells around them especially Alpha Alex.


    The look on his face says that he wouldn¡¯t have epted me if having a mate wasn¡¯t important to a werewolf. And I understand why? One, my pack had an history with ck moon pack since the war. Two, I didn¡¯t want to ept my mate who I almost rejected. Whatever silent treatment I was getting from Alpha Alex, I truly deserved it.


    And I would take it as a punishment for almost rejecting my mate. My wolf did find me guilty too.


    I felt a warm touch on my bare thighs, jolting me out of thought. I looked sideways to see Kayden grinning at me.


    ¡°Avery, what would you like to have?¡± Luna Beatrice was standing up ready to serve me.


    I found out that I was the only one left yet to have food on my te. Aish! Did I get lost in thought for that long?


    I stood up too. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about me. I can do it.¡± I tried to stop her from dishing out my food.


    ¡°Please take a seat, Avery.¡± Luna Beatrice spoke softly.


    I looked down at Kayden, he gestured to me to sit down and I did.


    ¡°Here you go.¡± Luna Beatrice passed my dish to me.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± I bowed my head slightly in appreciation.


    ¡°You are wee, Avery. Please let us eat.¡± Luna Beatrice asserted.


    Alpha Alex Scott cleared his throat. And my heartbeat when he called out my name. ¡°Avery,¡±


    I looked up at him. ¡°Yes.. sir.¡±


    ¡°So I was just thinking about how you would shuffle schooling far from our pack and getting to see your mate more often.¡± He stated, wiping his mouth gently with a napkin.


    I exchanged nces with Kayden. ¡°I-¡±


    ¡°Alex, it¡¯s not time to discuss this.¡± Luna Beatrice said but the alpha waved her off with a gesture.


    ¡°What? I just want to know about her ns. She can¡¯t possibly ignore her mate just to study. They have to remain connected.¡± Alpha Alex countered and waited for a response from me.


    ¡°Actually.. I haven¡¯t thought about it yet.¡± I admitted sincerely.


    Alpha Alex Scott leaned forward and ced his elbows on the table. ¡°How about you wolvesplete the mate bond and get married. That way my son can be safe and I can also believe that you are serious about this mating of a thing since you never wanted it.¡± Alpha Alex Scott had a scornful look on his face as he stared at me.


    I thought of what to say. Even though I had so many things running through my mind but I couldn¡¯t make them into words at that moment.


    ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry about it. Avery and I already discussed things. We have a n.¡± Kayden spoke up, lisping slightly.


    My head snapped up to look at him. My mate smiled and slowly his hand reached out for my fiddling fingers under the table. And his touch helped me to feel rxed.


    ¡°Are you sure about that? Or you are just trying to defend her actions and stop me from further questioning her?¡± Alpha Alex Scott asked leaning back into his chair.


    ¡°Father, trust me we have a n.¡± Kayden repeated.


    We don¡¯t have a n! I know the real answer to alpha Alex question. Kayden was trying to defend me just to make his father stop questioning me. As my mate he could sense my difort.


    And I couldn¡¯t me the big alpha, he was just concerned about his son who would take over the leadership of the pack when he was too old to handle things. What¡¯s an Alpha without his Luna by his side?


    ¡°Alright, I will let you wolves decide this time. But if I don¡¯t see your nsing into action soon, I won¡¯t hesitate to step in.¡± Alpha Alex Scott uttered in a harsh tone.


    ¡°Alright father.¡± Kayden replied maintaining his usual countenance.


    The rest of the dinner went by in silence until Alpha Alex raised a question about what was best from the request of another pack to deal in supplying them some materials toplete a building project they were working on.


    They all had a random discussion about the pack affairs. Each of them were solely involved in running the pack, even pregnant Kate was still handling the pack¡¯s finances.


    I sat there listening to them having a conversation about tasks and things to be done to help the pack. It has always been like this since I was little up to now. I was never involved in pack affairs back home and I began to doubt if I would do a good job at it when I finally be the Luna of this great pack.


    And was I really ready for this position? I pondered.


    The moment we stepped out of the pack house, the cool evening breeze tickled my cheeks and I tucked my hands into the pocket of my sweatshirt to try to keep it warm. Everywhere was so cold as if it had rained earlier one but none of that happened.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Kayden asked.


    ¡°Yes.¡± I muttered in a sour tone.


    ¡°Good to hear that. I want you to be fine.¡± Kayden smirked and I followed him down the porch steps.


    ¡°I am going to introduce you to my soon to be Beta, his name is Ethan. He is at the training ground working with the pack warriors.¡± Kayden pointed in the direction we were walking although I could sense that the training ground was pretty far off.


    I nodded and studied all the busy wolves bustling around to get whatever done. They stopped and greeted with their heads bowed slightly as they passed by us.

 EPISODE TEN

    THEME: It is not a big secret.


    BLACK MOON PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    Young Luna, the title rang a bell in my ears as if tormenting me. To be honest, it bothered me that I was kind of scared of my future responsibilities for this pack as a Luna. These people lives would all depend on me some day. And whatever decision I make would affect them in a good way or bad way.


    Can I really do this Luna of a thing? Do I fit into this position? Can I handle it?


    Series of questions flooded my mind as I doubted myself. And it didn¡¯t take long for me to realize that I was good at just one thing which was studying. Who should be med that I had no slightest idea of how to run a pack? My parents? I thoughts.


    I had lived my life like a human, basically focusing on studying and holding on to my dreams. A werewolf¡¯s greatest dream was finding a soulmate but I was a different case.


    I buried myself in studying just to fulfill my dreams. Having a high grade, being among the best students in college, maintaining a first ss degree, would that qualify me to run a pack? I bantered internally.


    ¡°You should take this as a challenge.¡± My wolf grumbled at my thoughts.


    I had to sneer at my wolf¡¯s words.


    ¡°Come on, you are kind, smart and intelligent. I think that¡¯s all you need to be a Luna.¡± My wolf retorted.


    ¡°I also know that there is more to being a Luna. But do you think I am worthy of this high position?¡± I questioned.


    My wolf felt insulted by my doubts. ¡°No one deserves that position other than you!¡± My wolf snapped at me.


    I managed to put her under control with a sigh and she rxed.


    ¡°What should I do?¡± I asked my wolf.


    ¡°I think you should start by getting to know more about this pack. There is so much to learn about it and most of all get closer to our mate.¡± My wolf encouraged me.


    I reasoned with my wolf¡¯s words. I should truly give it a chance. Maybe I should try by knowing this pack.


    I know few things about ck moon pack. I had made some researches at our pack¡¯s library after I got to know that I was mated to the young alpha is ck moon pack.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    So I should put what I have read into a good use.


    ¡°Kayden?¡± I called and he only hummed a response as he focused on the road ahead.


    ¡°So the pack name.. ck moon pack, how did ite about?¡± I asked curiously.


    Kayden looked at me with sheer surprise on his face.


    Did I just asked the wrong question? I pondered when Kayden furrowed his eyebrows again.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t your father tell you more about our pack history when you found out I was your mate?¡± Kayden asked.


    ¡°He didn¡¯t say much.¡± I answered.


    ¡°What about my mom? She¡¯s pretty good at telling stories.¡± Kayden asked again.


    ¡°She didn¡¯t give me more details just the same story I heard from my father. Why do I feel like there is more? I am curious.¡± I replied with a pout on my lips.


    Kayden sighed. ¡°Well, it¡¯s not a long secret. But not everyone knows what really happened to our pack. The name ck moon was adopted after an unfortunate incident happened in our pack.¡± Kayden exined quietly, pursing his lips.


    ¡°I want to know everything about your pack. Can you tell me all there is to know?¡± I requested.


    Kayden smiled and nodded his head.


    ¡°Initially, my dad didn¡¯t own the pack. His older brother founded it but they both worked hand in hand to build it, having a vision to make it the best werewolf pack. But unfortunately, my uncle named Lawrence died few days to full wolf moon celebration. The saddest of it all was that the day was set aside to celebrate the birth of the pack andpletion of some pack houses.¡± Kayden narrated.


    ¡°That¡¯s sad.¡± I lisped.


    ¡°The original pack name before my uncle¡¯s death was Crescent Lia pack. Alpha Lawrence wanted to name it after their mother.¡± Kayden added.


    ¡°So your father changed the name after his brother¡¯s death?¡± I asked.


    ¡°My dad wanted to maintain the name but the pack members felt too sorry for alpha Lawrence. So my father had to change it but with the promise to keep running it and make it the best. And he did.¡± Kayden stated with pride in his tone.


    ¡°Your father has done well for the pack.¡± I admitted.


    Kayden nodded in agreement. ¡°My father has worked really hard to maintain the pack. He wants the best for it and the members. Do you remember the war for most powerful spot?¡± Kayden asked taking a short nce at me.


    ¡°I was born right after the war ended. I was just a tiny baby when my pack started doing great too.¡± I mumbled sarcastically.


    ¡°Bumblebee.¡± Kayden muttered.


    ¡°Yes my father calls me that all the time. He said that my birth brought peace to our pack.¡± I recounted the history my father had told me several times.


    I could say it ording to my father word for word.


    ¡°I think your father is right about you bringing peace but not just to your pack. You have brought peace to my life too.¡± Kayden reached out to hold my hand.


    A flush crept up my face at his words. He looked at me with love and endearment in his eyes. No doubt my wolf loved this moment with our mate.


    I held his hand tightly. ¡°So tell me.. how does it feel to be a young alpha of the most powerful and wealthiest werewolf pack in the country?¡± I asked, never wanting this conversation between us to end.


    I was using one stone to kill two birds ¨C Getting to know the pack and soon to be alpha who was my mate.


    ¡°Should there be any special kind of feeling attached to being a young alpha of a powerful pack?¡± Kaydenughed.


    I nodded. ¡°You feel powerful huh?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Kayden chuckled.


    ¡°Come on, tell me how you feel?¡± I pestered.


    ¡°My alpha aura amongst other wolves is enough to make me feel powerful.¡± Kayden replied.


    I nodded in agreement. ¡°You are right and I guess it is a nice feeling.¡±


    ¡°I just want to be myself.¡± Kayden replied.


    ¡°So does that mean you are not that strict like your father?¡± I blurted out.


    Then I realized that I shouldn¡¯t have asked such a question from him. Come on! I should keep the fact that I feel alpha Alex doesn¡¯t seem to like me to myself. Now this question would birth something I may not be able to handle.


    ¡°Is that what you think of my father?¡± Kayden asked.


    Should I give a sincere answer to his question? I pondered.


    ¡°Talk to me, Avery,¡± Kayden said.


    I don¡¯t have any choice but to be honest with him.


    ¡°Well.. I still feel a bit ufortable around your father.¡± I admitted.


    Kayden stopped walking and he turned to face me. ¡°Why do you feel ufortable around him?¡± he asked with a furrowed eyebrows.


    ¡°He doesn¡¯t like me. And.. I know the reason is because I almost rejected his son.¡± I spat.


    Kayden heaved a sigh. ¡°You had your reason, Avery. I know my father can be very mean and strict on some levels but trust me, he is a very nice wolf. And I don¡¯t want you walking on egg shells around him.¡± He stated in a calm tone.


    ¡°You are right.. but you know-¡±


    ¡°He was scared. It really got to my father when I informed him that you didn¡¯t want me.¡± Kayden interrupted him.


    I guess I was the one who created a wrong impression about myself.


    ¡°You know¡­ he watched his brother suffer greatly after the death of his mate so he didn¡¯t want that for his son too.¡± Kayden tried to exin things to me in the calmest tone he could muster.


    ¡°Your father was angry. I still remember the look on his face when he stormed our pack with his war men.¡±


    Kayden let out a light chuckle. ¡°He was determined to get you even if it meant dragging you all the way here.¡±


    ¡°My father wouldn¡¯t allow that either.¡± I countered.


    ¡°And my father wouldn¡¯t back out either.¡± Kayden demurred and we bothughed.


    ¡°Actually my father didn¡¯t put up a fight because he knows how important it is to get mated to one¡¯s soulmate.¡± I muttered.

 EPISODE ELEVEN

    THEME: To be Honest


    BLACK MOON PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    We continued walking after Kayden kissed our locked hands. ¡°Perhaps does our pack name bother you?¡± Kayden asked.


    I furrowed my eyebrows. ¡°No.. no it doesn¡¯t bother me.¡± I replied.


    Kayden nodded. ¡°Well, I might move a motion to change the pack name when I be the alpha.¡± He said under his breath.


    ¡°Why?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I just want a darker name.¡± Kayden answered with a smirk on his face as our gaze met.


    ¡°Like what name?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Venom pack.¡± Kayden smiled mischievously.


    I couldn¡¯t help butugh at his words. ¡°You are joking right?¡± I giggled.


    Kaydenughed. ¡°Yeah.. that¡¯s a joke.¡± He nodded.


    We walked on in silence for about two minutes before Kayden spoke up again.


    ¡°Avery, very soon we¡¯ll both be leaders of this pack. So how does that make you feel?¡± He asked.


    I sighed. ¡°I have been thinking about it. Can I really take on the position? Am I worthy to be the Luna of this great pack? What would happen if I make a wrong decision? What if I fail in fulfilling my responsibilities as a Luna?¡± I expressed the questions that has bugged my mind for a while now.


    ¡°Does it scare you that much?¡± Kayden asked.


    I hummed a positive response.


    ¡°And have you thought of a way to ovee these fears?¡± He asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, Kayden.¡± I replied.


    ¡°I am sure you will be a great Luna.¡± Kayden mumbled with confidence in his tone.


    ¡°You and I both know that I won¡¯t be here permanently until I get a degree but¡­¡± my voice trailed off.


    I remembered the question alpha Alex asked earlier. How do I intend to shuffle studying and making out time to be with my mate?


    Kayden had defended me but I really need to know his thoughts about this situation.


    ¡°Kayden, I am just-¡±


    He cut me off mid sentence. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it.¡±


    ¡°No.. Kayden, I want to know what you think about my stay at college.¡± I said, hoping that he would be honest with me.


    ¡°Avery, when I found out that you are so bent on focusing on your studies, I already made up my mind to support you.¡± He uttered in his usual calm tone.


    But his words didn¡¯t answer any of my questions. I love that my mate cared so much about me but I was desperate to know what was running through his mind.


    ¡°I am just worried about you.¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°I can always make out time toe visit you at college.¡± He added.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to do that, I will be here on every of my holidays.¡± I countered trying to consider the fact that my college was really far to the ck moon pack.


    ¡°What? So I have to wait until holidays before I see you? That¡¯s like months.¡± Kayden objected with a snapped eyebrows.


    He looked offended but I was being realistic here. He had so many tasks to handle at the pack so making his way all the way down to my college to always see me would be a lot of work for him.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait that long.¡± Kayden added.


    ¡°Kayden, we can always text and keep up online.¡± I retorted.


    That¡¯s what humans do. Although we weren¡¯t humans but we could give the method a chance.


    ¡°That make me a human which offends my wolf. I don¡¯t like that idea of keeping up online.¡± Kayden argued.


    ¡°Come on Kayden, it¡¯s not bad idea.¡± I demurred.


    Kayden stopped walking and then he turned to face me. ¡°I have a better idea.¡±


    ¡°And what is it?¡± I asked.


    ¡°How about weplete the mating bond before you leave for college? That way we can be more connected and we don¡¯t need inte to make a connection.¡± Kayden stated.


    I knew he wasn¡¯t being honest with me earlier. And what was I expecting? That he was happy that I was leaving for college? No.


    Then he shouldn¡¯t have defended me when his father questioned me about the issue. He shouldn¡¯t have lied about us having a n when we haven¡¯t discussed it. We don¡¯t have any mutual agreement or understanding in this case.


    And it doesn¡¯t sit well with me. As much as my wolf would really love to be marked by our mate, I knew my body and soul wasn¡¯t ready for the mating ritual. It would distract me from my priorities one of which remained getting a degree.


    ¡°We can give it a chance.¡± Kayden mumbled with a glint of hope in his eyes.


    I let go of his hand immediately. ¡°Kayden.. I don¡¯t think.. I am ready for the mate bonding.¡± A deep frown grazed his face. ¡°Listen, I am just trying to be careful. You know¡­ we have to get intimate to be more connected to each other. And -¡±


    ¡°But you already agreed to marry me. So that made me think that you are ready to get mated to me.¡± Kayden cut in.


    ¡°I agreed to marry you.. but I am not ready for the mate bonding.¡±


    My wolf grumbled at the back of my mind trying to object to my decision but I kept her under control.


    A hurtful expression on his face but it was soon reced by a forced grin.


    ¡°We are almost at the training ground,¡± Kayden said, turning away from me.


    ¡°Hey look, that¡¯s my beta!¡± He switched gears to lighten the mood.


    I knew he wanted to question my decision to notplete the mate bond but he let things slide. Kayden must have decided in his head to not pressure me about it.


    ¡°There is Ethan Paulo.¡± Kayden pointed to arge muscr man who was already jogging towards us.


    ¡°Hey Kayden¡­¡± Beta Paulo greeted.


    ¡°Paulo meet Avery my mate.¡±¡®Kayden introduced briefly.


    Beta Paulo¡¯s eyes did a slow crawl from my head to toes then back to my head before he smiled. ¡°Finally, you found her after the long wait. I guess those bitches will have to step down now.¡± He croaked.


    Kayden and his betaughed out. My eyes brows snapped together. Pang of jealousy stirred within me. Was my mate seeing other wolves?


    ¡°What bitches?¡± I blurted out without thinking.


    ¡°Stop joking around Paulo.¡± Kayden hit Paulo¡¯s upper arm.


    My body calmed a bit and my wolf retreated knowing that Beta Paulo was joking. In case you haven¡¯t noticed, I have a violent wolf that is always ready to be let out in the open.


    ¡°I am kidding. Young alpha is every she wolf fantasy so him finding you would bash their hopes. All they would be left with is drool from afar.¡± Beta Paulo exined.


    I managed to fix a smile in my face. Beta Ethan Paulo stretched out his hands towards me for a handshake.


    I shook hands with him. ¡°It¡¯s a pleasure to finally meet you in person, Lance Avery.¡± He let go of my hand and bowed slightly.


    ¡°It¡¯s nice to meet you too.. beta Paulo.¡± I responded.


    The beta straightened. ¡°Kayden and I had quite augh when he told me you didn¡¯t want a mate. It¡¯s kind of weird and strange but I hope you will treat him better than the rest of us ever did.¡± He smiled.


    I was embarrassed everyone knew my history of not wanting a mate.


    ¡°I will try my best.¡± I managed to smile as I nced at Kayden.


    ¡°You talk too much Paulo.¡± Kayden cleared his throat.


    ¡°Come on, I am just trying to make sure that you are in good hands. Isn¡¯t that okay?¡± Beta Paulo asked referring to me.


    My lips parted in understanding. ¡°You are right.¡±


    ¡°Pardon me Luna Avery, I didn¡¯t mean to be so outspoken.¡± Beta Paulo apologized.


    ¡°Oh.. you don¡¯t need to apologize.¡± I mumbled.


    I liked Beta Paulo because he is free spirited.


    ¡°Do you want to watch us train for a while? You could join us too.¡± Beta Paul said.


    ¡°No she can¡¯t join in training.¡± Kayden objected immediately.


    ¡°What? Why?¡± Paulo asked with a raised eyebrows.


    ¡°Actually.. I didn¡¯t undergo much training in my pack. But I can ride a horse, go for hunting games and I am pretty good at fist fighting.¡± I exined things I could do but I didn¡¯t like the disappointed look on Beta Paulo¡¯s face.


    A Luna who didn¡¯t undergo proper war training in her pack. It kind of portrayed me to be a weak werewolf. Who would have guessed that I would be mated to an alpha? If I ever wanted a mate, I wasn¡¯t expecting my mate to be an alpha.


    ¡°I was studying when everyone was handling pack affairs and trainings.¡± I added.


    ¡°Woah! Our Luna is a bookworm. I don¡¯t think.. that¡¯s bad. You could lecture the young wolves whenever you are free.¡± Beta Paulo apuded and I could hear the pride in his voice but it didn¡¯t make me feel any better.


    But I was d I could do something with my studying gift like he suggested.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough Paulo we have to leave now to check out other ces in the pack.¡± Kayden interjected.


    ¡°Ok.. I¡¯ll meet upter. Wee to ck moon pack, Luna Avery.¡± Paulo bowed slightly again with a bright smile on his face.


    ¡°It¡¯s my pleasure.¡± I replied.


    ¡°Please take your time learning things that concerns our pack.¡± Beta Paul nodded.


    Kayden ced a hand on my back to turn me in the right direction of where we are headed next.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you think.. I need to know about pack training?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Sure.. I will tell you everything.¡± Kayden replied.

 EPISODE TWELVE

    THEME: Torture ground.


    BLACK MOON PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    He intertwined our hands again. ¡°The warriors train everyday for about five to eight hours depending on the technique they are practicing. Every warrior specializes in a certain war tactics, like fighting with swords or battling with spreads and other weapons. So when it¡¯s time to fight another pack or species, they are always ready tobat any sort of attack.¡± Kayden exined.


    ¡°That¡¯s incredible,¡± I said, turning back for a moment to look at the group of warriors fighting with power.


    They were professional at what they did. I could hear beta Paulo voice as he barked out orders to the warriors.


    Each pack with its own training schemes. My pack warriors only trained for four to six hours a day. Our warriors are strong willed and skilled too. But I see the reason why ck moon pack was given the title of the most powerful werewolf pack in the country ¨C their warriors were masters inbatting.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.. we wille around to watch themter. There will be a physicalbat fight soon among the warriors.¡± Kayden said.


    ¡°Physicalbat fight?¡± I repeated.


    ¡°Yes warriors battling for the strongest warrior wolf title in ck moon pack. We hold this fight every year, and whoever wins all the tasks has to battle with the previous champion to get the belt.¡± Kayden narrated.


    The physicalbat fight sounded like wrestling. I love wrestling so it would be fun to watch the warriors fight for a belt.


    ¡°Woah that¡¯s interesting! Who was the previous champion? I would really love to meet him.¡± I jumped at his side in excitement.


    ¡°You already met him.¡± Kayden answered.


    My head snapped up to look at him. ¡°You mean.. Beta Paulo?¡± I asked.


    ¡°No, I am right here.¡± Kayden smirked.


    My eyes widened in sheer surprise. I should have expected that to be him.


    ¡°Why do you look so surprised?¡± He grinned.


    ¡°How did you end up being a champion? I thought you aren¡¯t permitted in such fights.¡± I gasped out.


    ¡°Why? Because I am the Alpha¡¯s son?¡± He chuckled.


    ¡°Maybe.¡± I nodded.


    ¡°Things are different here. I was once a training warrior. I went through all the processes and fought the strongest werewolf who was my father to get the belt. It was a challenge to prove to my father and everyone that I am worthy and qualified to lead the pack. And I have had the belt for almost five years now.¡± He said with pride in his tone.


    ¡°Five years?! And no one has been able to take it from you?!¡± I asked with a wide eye.


    ¡°No one has been able to take it from me. I am the strongest werewolf here but I am still expecting someone to get the belt. It¡¯s tiring to be a champion every year but at the same time I would feel insulted if anyone takes it from me. My father loves that no one has been able to take it from me but hopefully it would be different if my son takes it from me.¡± Kayden lisped thest few words confidently.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    I swallowed at the mention of ¡®son¡¯ my mate was already thinking of us making pubs in his head.


    ¡°Your father must be so proud of you.¡± I muttered.


    Kayden nodded in agreement. As we continued on the pathway, the routes began to make sense to me because I have been here with Luna Beatrice on the day we went out to buy groceries. There was a split road but we didn¡¯t turn right but left.


    ¡°This ce we are heading might scare you but don¡¯t pay too much attention to whatever you see,¡± Kayden said, holding my hands tightly as he directed me towards another road.


    The smell of blood was so strong in the air and I started to make outrge wooden poles. The closer we got, the louder the sound of painful groans that filled my ears. It became louder, goosebumps appeared on my skin as realization hit me straight in the face.


    This was ck moon torture ground.


    The first thing my eyes caught were wolves being tied down in the poles. They were all in their wolf forms cored with silver chains that cut through their fur of different colors that was hard to make out the initial color because of the dried blood on them.


    They stared at us weakly. My eyes widen when they trailed on another side of the torture ground, there were human figures that which I knew were wolves too but didn¡¯t get to transform into their wolf forms. They were ced on the poles with their heads upside down and legs hanging in the air. Their skin was pale due to loss of too much blood. They looked pale, dehydrated with cracked lips.


    When we got closer, I felt the urge to vomit as I gripped onto Kayden¡¯s upper arm. ¡°Kay.. den¡­¡± tears welled up in my eyes as I stared at the helpless wolves facing punishment.


    The wolves in human forms all began to plead to Kayden for their release.


    Kayden clenched his fist with a tightened jaw. ¡°You¡¯ll all rot in here till you breathe yourst!¡± He growled out silencing them up.


    Guilt transformed on all their faces.


    ¡°Let us go.¡± Kayden turned me around.


    The painful groans became louder as we exited the ce. I swallowed hard, trying to keep my tears at bay as I followed Kayden. But it didn¡¯t take long for bile to rise in my throat. I let go of Kayden and turned sideways to throw up near a building with tears streaming down my face.


    Kayden¡¯s hand rubbed my back gently. ¡°Hey.. easy.. you¡¯ll be fine.¡± He whispered.


    I wanted to know more about the pack but I wasn¡¯t expecting to see this ce. Maybe not yet. We have torture ground in my pack too but it wasn¡¯t as bloody as this ce. My vomiting fit ended with a blurry vision.


    ¡°Are you okay now?¡± Kayden asked.


    I am not fine! He should have told me we wereing here! That way I would have prepared my mind and sight!


    ¡°Don¡¯t feel pity for them. They deserve whatever punishment they are getting now.¡± Kayden said with annoyance clear in his tone.


    ¡°What crime did theymit to deserve such punishment?¡± I asked, wiping my mouth as I could still feel the bitterness in my throat.


    ¡°They are spies from an enemy. They are the ones who attacked me in thest hunting game and their n was to kill me.¡± Kayden had an angry and furious look on his face as he recounted the event.


    That made sense now. He was attacked by those wolves in there, all the more reason why he needed his mate to healpletely. I could feel my wolf getting furious after finding out that our mate¡¯s attackers were within reach. She threw a fit in my mind, begging to be let out in the opening to devour those attackers but I didn¡¯t allow it. This isn¡¯t the right time to y a revenge game since they were already getting punished. They really deserved it.


    I leaned in to Kayden and embraced him. I almost lost my mate because of those terrible looking wolves so they all deserve death. Kayden began to rx slowly and soon his hand went around me as he pulled me closer to his body.


    ¡°Wee to ck moon pack, Avery.¡± Kayden mumbled into my ears.


    I never want to be at this torture ground again. I would do all my best to avoid this ce at all cost.


    ¡°We should head back to the pack house. It¡¯s gettingte.¡± Kayden pulled away from me.


    I nodded slowly. ¡°Let us go. I have had enough for today.¡± I mumbled, reaching out to hold Kayden¡¯s hand again.

    BLACK MOON PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point of view)


    FEW WEEKS LATERConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    ¡°Can you do me a favor?¡± The she-wolf I just met recently uttered with a pitiful look on her face.


    I nodded. ¡°Yes, how may I help you?¡± I asked.


    Slowly, she started towards me. ¡°I want you to be far away from this pack.¡± The she-wolf said.


    I furrowed my eyebrows immediately trying toprehend her words. ¡°What do you mean?¡± I asked.


    The she-wolf stopped walking, a sly grin disyed on her face. ¡°Is it hard to grant such a favor?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Would you grant such a favor if you were in my ce?¡± I questioned in return.


    This she-wolf wanted me out of this pack where I was meant to rule as a Luna.


    She sneered at my questions instead of giving me an answer. ¡°Then I have no choice.¡± She muttered.


    ¡°I am leaving.¡± I said, and turned away from her.


    ¡°I am carrying his child.¡± The she-wolf words stopped me on track.


    ¡°Kayden,¡± she added quickly and I turned to face her.


    The she-wolf smirked, a smug look on her face.¡±We are together.¡± she ced her hand on her belly, making a circr movement.


    I didn¡¯t want to believe her words but my wolf believed her. She had a stronger sense and instincts than her owner. I bet that my wolf could tell another wolf¡¯s mind. My wolf never liked this she-wolf when our mate introduced her to us. The she-wolf was a head nurse at the infirmary and she seemed pretty close to Kayden.


    When I tried to ask him about her, he said they both grew up together and she was his best friend. To top it all, my insecurities set in when Kayden said she was yet to find her mate. I didn¡¯t like the idea of my mate getting closer or being besties with another she-wolf.


    The she-wolf words rang in my head. She was carrying my mate¡¯a child. Perhaps this is the reason why my wolf disapprove of me being friends with her.


    ¡°What should I do?¡± I asked my wolf but she seemed silent. It was unusual of my wolf to be this calm. I expected my wolf to be furious.


    ¡°I love Kayden. And I want our child to be born into this world. So this is why I am asking you to move far away from this pack.¡± The she-wolf said.


    ¡°What?!¡± My jaw dropped slightly. How can she be so bold enough to approach me and spill this trash?


    ¡°You never wanted this life right? All you desire is getting a degree. But I want a life with Kayden. Even though he is not my destined mate, I still want him because I love him and can¡¯t wait forever.¡± The she-wolf said with a serious look on her face.


    My wolf was heartbroken because our mate has mated with another she-wolf. She was too weak to react which made me even more powerless. I had all the chance to sleep with several men at college but deep down in my heart I wanted my mate to be my first when I am ready for the mating bond. I had kept myself for my mate and my wolf liked my decision.


    But why is it not the same way with my mate? The answer wasn¡¯t far fetched ¨C the world has changed.


    I have heard and seen cases of single wolves having sex with mated wolves. In my own perspective it was wrong but maybe to other wolves it wasn¡¯t bad.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± I heard myself say out loudly.


    ¡°What?¡± The she-wolf was confused.


    ¡°I.. I.. don¡¯t care if you are carrying his child. Kayden is mine! He is my mate! So I won¡¯t let him go to you!¡± I snapped at her as tears streamed down my face.


    The she-wolf expression hardened. ¡°I am his mate and you¡¯ll only be his mistress! I¡¯ll nurse your child!¡± I spat angrily.


    My words got to her because a vein popped out of her neck. She was trying to control her wolf while I was trying to awaken my own wolf.


    I understand that my wolf was hurt but I didn¡¯t expect her to leave me hanging this way. My eyes did a slow crawl on the she-wolf and it widened in shock. She had a knife in her hand.


    ¡°It won¡¯t be a bad idea to get rid of you. Kayden won¡¯t feel your absence that much since you guys haven¡¯tpleted the mating bond.¡± She started towards me.


    I began to move backwards as terror overtook my face. My back came up against a tree and I felt trapped. All of a sudden, I felt the excruciating pain in my stomach. She just stabbed me.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be his Luna and not a mistress!¡± She grimaced in anger as the knife drilled deeper into my stomach.


    I tried to hold her hands but my body burnt badly. And realization hit me after my wolf slipped into unconsciousness. She poisoned my wolf with a silver knife to get rid of me knowing that I was nothing without my wolf.


    I coughed out blood and saw Kayden behind her. He wasn¡¯t surprised neither did he try to stop her. My body dropped to the ground with a thud.


    ¡°Kay¡­den..¡± I coughed again.


    Is it just an apprehension or he had intended to watch the she-wolf murder his mate?


    ¡°Goodbye¡­Avery!¡± The she-wolf said followed by a deviousughter that echoed in my ears and back to reality.

    THEME: Her insecurities


    BLACK MOON PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    My eyes red open and I was sweating profusely. The room was dark only a dim light provided brightness. ¡°It was a nightmare! It was a nightmare! It was a nightmare!¡± I tried to calm myself down.


    ¡°Kayden¡­.¡± My head processed the nightmare again. I looked sideways to the bed space and my mate was there soundly asleep.


    Groaning, I grip the thick, warm cover of the bed pulling it up under my neck. Letting out a sigh, I drop my head deeper into the soft pillow trying to rx my mind and get off the disturbing nightmare that seem to appear every now and then with my eyes closed.


    The night mare was beginning to get to me. The bed sheets tickle against my skin as I twisted beneath them, getting wrapped up further in the heavenly warmth.


    Some momentster, I heard Kayden cough and I looked at him. His eyes were fully opened boring into mine.


    ¡°Why are you awake?¡± He asked rubbing his sleepy eyes.


    ¡°Nothing.. I woke up.. not too long. But.. I am trying to get some sleep again.¡± I stammered.


    My anger wolf won¡¯t get intimate with another wolf right? I mused.


    ¡°You look perturbed.¡± Kayden said.


    Yeah! I am terrified because of a nightmare! And I am troubled because you will have a child soon with another wolf! No.. wait¡­what if the she wolf is already carrying his child as I speak? What if she is nning to kill me? Series of questions flooded my mind as I was bound to loose my sanity anytime soon.


    ¡°Avery,¡± I felt Kayden shaking me up.


    ¡°You were saying¡­sorry?¡± I snapped out of thought.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Kayden sat up on the bed.


    ¡°Nothing¡­I am fine.¡± I answered.


    There are so many questions bugging my mind that I want to ask my mate. For instance, ¡°Are you seeing another she-wolf?¡±


    ¡°Okay¡­¡± Kayden threw his legs over the side of the bed and made his way to the bathroom.


    With my eyes closed, images from the nightmare urred again which made me sit up on the bed abruptly. I am not sure I can keep this to myself.


    Maybe I should be med if it happens that my mate has been seeing other wolves. I have refused toplete our mate bond. I don¡¯t want to share my mate with another she-wolf. I want all of him for myself.


    Kayden cleared his throat when he came out of the bathroom. I looked up at him as he walked to the bed and got into it.


    ¡°Come here¡­¡± Kayden gestured to me to lean on his chest.


    I hesitated. ¡°I have a question.¡± I said.


    Kayden raised an eyebrow. ¡°It.. it is.. just something that has been bothering metely.¡± I said in a low tone.


    Kayden nodded. ¡°Alright. I am listening.¡±ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    ¡°I read a book¡­¡± I paused to look at him.


    ¡°I am not sure you can ever stop reading books.¡± Kayden let out a sigh as hey on the bed. ¡°Go ahead.¡± He mumbled.


    ¡°The alpha started seeing his closest friend without his mate knowing. And it turned out that¡­his friend is carrying his child.¡± I stopped.


    ¡°Wait, let me try to understand you. The male wolf cheated on his mate with a close friend.¡± Kayden exined.


    ¡°Yes.¡± I nodded.


    ¡°And the close friend ended up having a baby for the male wolf.¡± Kayden added and I shook my head in agreement.


    Kayden did a click sound. ¡°Such an interesting story. So what happened in the end?¡± He asked.


    ¡°The she-wolf asked the alpha mate to go far away so she could be with the alpha. And the she-wolf ended up killing the Alpha¡¯s mate while he was watching her.¡± I narrated.


    ¡°That¡¯s terrible of him to watch the death of his mate.¡± Kaydenmented.


    ¡°Why did the alpha cheat when he has a mate? And why did he stand to watch the death of his mate?¡± I questioned.


    Kayden was silent as seconds clicked by into minutes.


    ¡°Kayden,¡± I called out to him.


    ¡°Oh sorry.. I am.. only trying to think of answers to your questions.¡± Kayden said.


    ¡°So what do you think?¡±  I asked.


    Perhaps will these questions help me find out if my mate was seeing another mate.


    ¡°I think the alpha doesn¡¯t love his mate to start with and it¡¯s either his mate wasn¡¯t giving him what he wanted ¨C Sex. I can¡¯t be sure. But¡­. why do I feel like this is about-¡± Kayden paused to study my expression.


    ¡°Are you having thoughts that I am seeing another wolf?¡± He blurted out.


    Oops! I just got caught red handed.


    Kayden sat up abruptly. ¡°Why do you think I would cheat on you?¡±


    ¡°No.. no.. don¡¯t get me wrong.. I am not insinuating that you are cheating. I.. I.. read.. a book.. and.. it has.. been-¡±


    ¡°You didn¡¯t read such book.¡± Kayden frowned.


    I withdrew my hand from reaching out to him. A tear slipped down my cheeks. He just stated the reasons why the alpha in my imaginary book cheated on his mate.  I should be med if my mate cheats on me with another wolf. I have refused toplete my bond and get intimate with him.


    Does his answers to my questions reflects his true actions?


    ¡°It¡¯s not a good idea to start feeling insecure. We are not humans, Avery. And you are only feeling this way because we haven¡¯t bonded our wolves.¡± Kayden stated clearly.


    I could feel it clearly that he wasn¡¯t happy by my funny ims. But it all came down to the same fact that I have refused to do the needful as a she-wolf with a mate.


    ¡°Kayden, I am sorry if I made you upset.¡± I apologized.


    ¡°It is al-¡± I leaned closer and mmed mouth against his lips, silencing his words.


    If mating with my mate would secure my rtionship then I could throw caution into the wind. Humans have sex without getting pregnant or even distracting their studies. There are pregnant and marrieddies at college and they are doing fine.

    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    Kayden stumbled back on the bed in surprise as I continued to kiss him. I had cut him off guard but soon his pair of hands gripped my waist and pulled me down to his body. He flipped us, my legs wrapped around his hips.


    I let out arge muffled gasp as Kayden dominated my mouth roughly, we both released out pent up frustration in the form of biting and sucking until my lips were swollen from his kisses. Kayden grunted as I yanked at the roots of his hair as he tried to drag his mouth away for a moment so we could both catch our breath. But after a second, I kissed his mouth once again, deepening the kiss.


    A loud moan left his lips as I flipped us over without breaking off our passionate kiss. I began to slid up and down his body so I could feel his cock that was getting hard against my core. But Kayden imed my hips and broke up the kiss.


    ¡°Avery, I know you are not ready for it. So we shouldn¡¯t try to start what we can¡¯t finish.¡± Kayden flipped us.


    ¡°I am not seeing another she-wolf. So you don¡¯t have to feel insecure. And just -¡± His voice trailed off, letting me know just how little control he had left.


    He was right. I wasn¡¯t ready. I just wanted to feel secure but it was a wrong move.  I am trying to believe my mate isn¡¯t seeing another wolf.


    I licked my lips and cleared my throat awkwardly. ¡°You are right. I am not ready.¡± I said.


    ¡°We should get to sleep now. Remember you¡¯ll have a long ride to college tomorrow.¡± The corner of his mouth twitched before he leaned over and lifted my chin with a finger giving me a long peck.


    Kayden leaned on the bed and I rested my head on his chest.


    *****************


    NEXT MORNING


    I was ready to leave for college. A new semester started weeks ago but I had stayed back to spend some time with my mate.


    ¡°I wish you could stay a bit longer.¡± Kayden said as he leaned down to peck my forehead.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be back before you know it.¡± I smiled.


    ¡°Expect me at your college anytime soon. Or should I go with you right now?¡± Kayden asked with a pout.


    I rolled my eyes getting out of his embrace after a quick kiss. ¡°You have so much to do at the pack. Wrap things up, thene visit me so we can go on a date.¡± I grabbed my box.


    ¡°I.. think.. I like the sound of that.¡± Kayden smirked.


    ¡°What?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Date. That way I can get the chance to show you off and let those mere male humans know that you are mine.¡± Kayden chuckled.


    I giggled while he leaned over and kissed my lips again. ¡°I¡¯ll see you soon, Bumblebee.¡±


    We exited the room to therge living room where we found Kayden¡¯s father waiting at the dinning.


    ¡°Kayden,¡± Alpha Alex Scott called out.


    ¡°Father, good morning.¡± Kayden greeted and I took turn to do the same.


    Alpha Alex Scott nodded in response. ¡°Kayden, did you receive the file Paulo sent on the new project?¡± The alpha asked facing his son directly.


    ¡°Yeah.. I did this morning when I checked into some things on my system. I¡¯ll take a better nce at it once I am free.¡± Kayden replied.


    ¡°Alright. But work on it soonest.¡± Alpha Alex pointed out and he looked at me. ¡°You are ready to leave, Avery?¡± Alpha Alex asked.


    ¡°Yes, Alpha.¡± I nodded


    ¡°She is all set!¡± Kayden arms snaked around my waist.


    Alpha Alex shrugged. ¡°The driver is waiting to drive you to college.¡± He started the walk to the door.


    A maid came over to take my box. Kayden and I matched Alpha Alex strides. When we stepped out of the pack house, I saw a ck limousine already waiting to drive me to college.


    ¡°We hope to see you soon, Avery.¡± Luna Beatrice said as she embraced me.


    Katherine waved at me with a bright smile on her face since she couldn¡¯t hug me because of her protruded belly. Kayden opened the car door for me to step in.


    ¡°Don¡¯t miss me too much.¡± He grinned.


    ¡°Be a good boy.¡± I joked and Kaydenughed.


    ¡°Safe drive to all of you.¡± He said to the wolves warriors.


    ¡°Yes alpha!¡± The chorused with their head bowed.


    ¡°Call me when you get to college okay?¡± Kayden winked.


    I shook my head in response. ¡°Bye.¡± Kayden closed the car door and waved.


    The car glided into motion and the drive to the college was silent. I didn¡¯t make an attempt to create a conversation with the driver or three warriors in the car.


    I kept myself busy with chatting with my family to let them know that I was on my way to college. And at some point I slept off and only woke up when I arrived at the apartment Kayden had gotten for me.


    He paid for it few weeks back stating that he didn¡¯t want me to stay at the college hostel so we would have our privacy whenever he came visiting. That made sense. I have always wanted a ce for myself but my father declined. My father said it wasn¡¯t safe to be alone as a girl but my mother said it was risky having a werewolf live with three other humans.


    My ex roommates are nice people but I have to admit that it hasn¡¯t been easy concealing my identity as a werewolf. I am free! All I have to do is move my books and bags from the hostel to my apartment. And from the pictures Kayden showed me, I have every other things in it.

    When I woke up the bed was empty. I wrinkled my nose and pulled the soft bed cover off my body. As I climbed out of bed, I stared at the long ck t-shirt that was clearly Kayden¡¯s. I had taken two t-shirts from his closet thest time I visited the pack.


    I went into the bathroom to pee before making my way out of the room. The smell of toast and eggs drifted in the air. I followed the delicious smell to the kitchen and smiled a little as I watched Kayden move around smoothly. He only does this cooking of a thing whenever he is at my apartment.


    And when he noticed me, his eyebrows rose and he nodded to the barstool next to the ind.


    ¡°Have a seat, breakfast is almost ready.¡± Kayden instructed.


    I plopped on the seat. ¡°My stomach is so empty as if I didn¡¯t eat to bedst night.¡± I drank the ss of water he passed to me.

    ¡°Oh! There you go again!¡± I giggled.


    Kayden came over to me and hugged me from behind. ¡°How about we go on a date today?¡± He purred into my ears as I munch on my breakfast.


    ¡°I¡¯d love to go on a date with you but not today.¡± I replied.


    Kayden scrunched up his face. ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°I have a make up test by 10 p. m.¡± I answered.


    Kayden wasn¡¯t happy but he didn¡¯t have a choice. This is the life that his mate has signed up for.


    ¡°How long will that take?¡± Kayden asked.


    ¡°Not.. too long. But I have sses till five in the evening.¡± I responded.


    Kayden grumbled. ¡°I was expecting to spend most of the days with you.¡±


    ¡°I told you that I am so booked for this week. But next week is lecture free week.¡± I ate the toast.


    ¡°But I¡¯ll be so busy next week too. I have to prepare for the general meeting of alpha sons. They are trying to choose someone who will stand in gap for everyone.¡± Kayden exined.


    ¡°I also have to prepare for my final exams that¡¯s taking ce in two weeks time.¡± I said.


    Kayden shook his head. ¡°Yeah.. I saw your schedules.¡±


    I got down from the barstool, moved to the refrigerator to pour myself a drink.


    ¡°How about youe with me to the pack? You can study in my private library. And that way I get to see you everyday for a whole week.¡± Kayden suggested.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea.¡± I declined.


    Kayden furrowed his eyebrows. ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Seeing you will distract me from studying. This is my final exam in college so I have to prepare real hard for it.¡± I reminded him.


    ¡°You are right. But I won¡¯t distract you. I¡¯ll be busy with pack affairs and meetings. And I also have to finish up the project I have been working on all these years.¡± Kayden came closer to me.


    I shook my head in disagreement.


    ¡°Come on Avery, everyone misses you at the pack.¡± He held my hands up and kissed them. ¡°Say.. yes.. please. And I promise not to distract you from studying. I¡¯ll be a good boy.¡± His eyes pleaded with me.


    Iughed out loud. ¡°Alright.. alright¡­I¡¯lle with you to the pack.¡±


    Kayden smile grew wider. ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°But on one condition-¡± I announced.


    Kayden growled. ¡°What do you want love? Anything at all and I will get it done.¡± He said with pride in his tone as his knuckles caressed my chin gently.


    ¡°We get to run in the woods under the moonlight.¡± I stated.


    Kayden chuckled. ¡°Just that?¡±


    I nodded. ¡°A run.¡± I mouthed.


    ¡°Deal!¡± He kissed my lips.


    ¡°I am patiently waiting on the day of your graduation, I have a very huge surprise for you.¡± Kayden said.


    ¡°What is it?¡± I asked.


    ¡°A surprise.¡± Kayden winked and walked out of the kitchen.


    ¡°Come on, give me a hint.¡± I matched his strides.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be impatient. Your convocation is just about a month away right?¡± I nodded in agreement.


    My mate has the date saved up in his head. Why? He has been patiently waiting for me to graduate so we can finallyplete the mate bond.


    ¡°Will you ask me to marry you again?¡± I asked trying to get him to spill the surprise.


    ¡°You¡¯ll bete for school.¡± Kayden sat on the couch.


    ¡°Kayden,¡± I called him.


    Kayden looked at my puppy face as I sat close to him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t give me that look.¡± He leaned closer and pressed a kiss to my lips.


    I returned the kiss softly before he broke it off andnded it at the right side of my cheeks.

 EPISODE SEVENTEEN

    THEME: I don¡¯t want to lose my mate


    AVERY APARTMENT


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    I returned the kiss softly before he broke it off andnded it at the right side of my cheeks.


    ¡°Go and clean up or else you¡¯ll bete for the make up test.¡±


    My eyes fluttered closed and I allow his sweet smell and natural scent to lure me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t try to sleep¡­¡± Kayden dodged me when I tried to rest on him.


    ¡°Okay.. fine.¡± I stood up.


    He is not going to tell me about the surprise because it is a surprise.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take a shower and head to school.¡± I walked off.


    And while I was bathing, I heard the door bell rang. I opted into an outfit that won¡¯t reveal any part of my body because Kayden won¡¯t allow it. I was only allowed to wear them in the pack because every male wolf respected the fact that I would be their Luna soon. But Kayden doesn¡¯t trust the male humans. Most of them get carried away by what they see. He had said to me.


    I rushed out of the bedroom to the living room only to find Kayden pacing to and fro.


    ¡°Kayden,¡± I called.


    His eyes darted at me but I didn¡¯t like the expression on his face.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± I asked but got no response. ¡°I heard the doorbell ring earlier, who -¡±


    ¡°Freddie,¡± Kayden stopped pacing with a hard expression his face.


    ¡°Oh.. Freddie. He must have dropped by to pick me up to school.¡± I said.


    ¡°What?¡± Kayden gasped. ¡°Do you still let him drive you to school?!¡± He growled out.


    I jumped in fear at his sudden outburst. There we go again fighting because of Freddie. Fred Jordan is my coursemate and we have been friends since my second year in college. Fred is a pure human but he doesn¡¯t know I am a werewolf. So far so good I have done a great job at hiding my identity from my human friends. Not like I have many of them but Freddie is my closest friend.


    When Kayden first met Freddie he didn¡¯t like him. Well I understand that my mate was only trying to mark his territory but it has gotten to the point that Kayden clearly told me to stay away from Fred.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    It is hard to suddenly cut off my rtionship with Freddie. He mean no harm and I only see him as a friend and study partner. But no matter the points I try to prove, Kayden doesn¡¯t like the idea.


    ¡°Do you still let him drive you to school?¡± Kayden repeated.


    I shook my head. ¡°But you don¡¯t-¡±


    ¡°¡­have to worry about Freddie because we are just friends!¡± Kayden cut me off andpleted my intended statement.


    ¡°How many times do I need to make it clear to you that I don¡¯t like you being friends with that guy!¡± His eyes sparkled with anger and jealousy.


    ¡°I don¡¯t like his guts! And he doesn¡¯t respect the fact that I am your mate!¡± Kayden grounded out.


    ¡°Come on Kayden, humans don¡¯t understand how wolf mating works.¡± I replied in a calm tone.


    ¡°He is not dumb! He should know by now that you have a man! And I am the man in your life!¡± Kayden pointed out.


    ¡°Can you stop getting yourself worked up because of Freddie.¡± I rolled my eyes.


    ¡°Why do you feel so calm whenever we argue about stupid Freddie? Seriously it annoys my wolf to see you with him! So tell me do you have feelings for him?!¡± Kayden asked.


    The color drained out of my face. ¡°What? Is that what you think of me?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Well I won¡¯t be surprised if you have something for him since you have been friends with him for over two years now!¡± Kayden spat angrily.


    I was disappointed and hurt at the same time by his words. My mate should trust me right?


    ¡°I made an offer to buy you a car but you declined me! Why? You just want to keep riding in his stupid car!¡± Kayden fumed.


    I couldn¡¯t help but sneer at his words. ¡°I can see that you don¡¯t trust me. I am being friends with Freddie because he is a genius and -¡±


    ¡°You are a dummy.¡± He cuts in sharply.


    My jaw dropped at his words. My mate just called me a dummy.


    ¡°You can¡¯t study alone right? You need Freddie to be with you. Stop the excuses Avery!¡± He pointed a finger at me. ¡°Stop pretending, I know you didn¡¯t tell him that I am your mate. And if he doesn¡¯t understand what a mate means then you should have used the simple word fianc¨¦!¡± Kayden breathed out heavily and then he stormed out of the house.


    I didn¡¯t miss the hurtful expression on his face when he left the apartment. He has never been this angry. Okay ¨C I get it now. I am at fault. I haven¡¯t informed Freddie that I have a man that I am ready to spend the rest of my life with. I don¡¯t want to go into more deeper details because I am scared that it would reveal my identity someway.


    To be honest, I don¡¯t want to lose Freddie too.


    ¡°Kayden¡­¡± I rushed out of the apartment to look for him. I know why Kayden was feeling insecure now. He is just scared of loosing his mate to a mere human.


    Kayden was no where to be found. I nced down at my watch, if I try searching for my mate then I would miss the test. So I rushed back into the house, I tried his number but soon found his cellphone in the couch. It would be hard to monitor his whereabouts now. I dropped a note on the table.


    ¡°I am sorry. We¡¯ll talk when I get back home. Love you.¡±


    I went out of the house to hail down a taxi to college. And then I concluded that I would tell the truth about my rtionship with Kayden to Freddie. I also don¡¯t want to lose my mate.

 EPISODE EIGHTEEN

    THEME: I have a fianc¨¦


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    IN COLLEGE


    Freddie bumped into me on my way into the library to get some books in order to make research on the project given to my team. Freddie happened to not be on the same team with me this time and it doesn¡¯t make him happy and same goes with me. He always liked being on the same team with me and I could tell from the look on his face and also the words from the other students whispering about us being a couple.


    Freddie was stepping out of the library probably done with whatever he came to do there as the leader of his team. He moved us aside so others could walk into the library.


    ¡°Avery, I was just about to go find you. How are you doing today?¡± He asked.


    ¡°I am fine¡­ Freddie. What about you?¡± I stepped backwards away from him.


    ¡°I am fine.¡± Freddie answered.


    I nodded my head slowly and stopped when he spoke up again.


    ¡°I dropped by at your house and I saw that weird and dangerous looking guy that you introduced to me. If eyes could kill I should have been dead this morning. Does he have a problem with me? What¡¯s your rtionship with him?¡± Freddie questioned frantically.


    To be honest, by now I expected that Freddie should have an idea of what sort of rtionship I have with Kayden but he is so clueless. And I have to make an effort to make things clear to him if I want to secure my rtionship with my mate. I don¡¯t want to fight with my mate anymore. And Kayden can buy me a car if he wants now. I won¡¯t reject his offers to help me in whatever way and as my mate it is normal for him to want me to befortable in a ce far from our world.


    ¡°Freddie, I am sorry but you have to stop dropping by at my ce to pick me up to school.¡± I said, biting down in my lower lip and I tried not to make an eye contact with him.


    ¡°But why? You don¡¯t have car. And now that we have to walk a long distance to get to the new site it won¡¯t be easy making it down there for early sses in the next couple of weeks. What about our final exams? Listen Avery, if you are still thinking that it is bothersome for me toe pick you up then you are wrong. I am notining. I like picking you up to school so let me keep on doing it.¡±  Freddie rushed out his words with a glint of hope in his tone.


    This won¡¯t be safe for you, Fred Jordan. I don¡¯t want you getting into a fight with my mate.


    I heaved a faint sigh and looked up at him. And I remembered the words of my mate.


    ¡°You can¡¯t study alone right? You need Freddie to be with you. Stop the excuses Avery! Stop pretending, I know you didn¡¯t tell him that I am your mate. And if he doesn¡¯t understand what a mate means then you should have used the simple word Fianc¨¦!¡± I cringed at the sound of his voice and annoyance in his tone that rang deep in my head.


    ¡°Tell me what¡¯s going on? Did I do something wrong to you?¡± Freddie asked in a low tone.


    ¡°No you didn¡¯t do anything wrong to me. Freddie, it¡¯s just that.. that guy you met is my fianc¨¦.¡± I said after some seconds of silence.


    I studied Freddie¡¯s expression. Different emotions crossed his face ¨C surprise, shock, hurt, and his mouth was slightly opened.


    ¡°Look Freddie -¡±


    He interrupted me. ¡°Not even your Boyfriend?! Howe? How long have you been dating? Why don¡¯t you have a ring on your finger yet? Are you ying me? Or is this some sort of prank or something?¡± He demanded, flooding me with questions which I intend to answer.


    ¡°Let us talk about this in a more quiet ce.¡± I suggested.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Freddie hesitated with a dazed look on his face but I grabbed his hand and pulled him behind me. We walked down to an area filled with flowers and trees that created a shield from the rays of sunlights. It was a popr ce called the Love Garden on campus. There aren¡¯t a lot of people here so I forced Freddie to sit on the empty bench before he could protest and I settled right beside him.


    The hurtful expression on my mate¡¯s face seemed to hunt me.


    I cleared my throat before starting up my narration. ¡°I met him about two years ago. At first I didn¡¯t want to ept him but as time went on we grew so fond of each other. Kayden has proved to me that I deserve to give love a chance and I have grown to fall in love with him. And right now I can¡¯t do anything without him because he is like my other half.¡± I paused. Freddie was rubbing his palms together.


    ¡°I am sorry for not telling you before now. I thought you would stop being friends with me if I told you about my rtionship.¡± I stopped hoping to hear a response from him but he said nothing.


    ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. I am sorry, Freddie.¡± I whispered.


    His head snapped sideways to look at me. ¡°No.. no.. don¡¯t me yourself. You don¡¯t have to feel sorry in anyway. But I would have appreciated it if you had told me sooner.¡± A serious look yed on his face as he adjusted himself on the bench so he could look into my eyes.


    ¡°We are close friends right?¡± He mumbled.


    Then I nodded in agreement. ¡°And we made a promise to each other not to keep secrets.¡± He said and I shook my head again.


    ¡°I am sorry, Freddie.¡± I apologized.


    ¡°The truth is I have always liked you but I didn¡¯t want to confess my feelings just to secure our rtionship. I didn¡¯t want to make you feel ufortable around me because I like what we share even as friends. But I guess that I am toote.¡± Freddie stood up from the bench.


    I knew nothing would change in me if Freddie had confessed his feelings to me. Even before finding my mate, I already knew I had one somewhere waiting for me just like my wolf did but I never gave it a thought. And even though I enjoyed being around Freddie, I can¡¯t go into a proper rtionship with him. There are so many things to consider which doesn¡¯t even interest me and my wolf.


    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t he put a ring on your finger yet?¡± His voice snapped me out of thought and I looked up at him.


    I raised my hand hand in the air. ¡°I haven¡¯t give him my consent to the proposal. So he is patiently waiting for me to graduate.¡± I answered.


    ¡°So you are probably getting married after our graduation.¡± Freddie said with a small smile on his face.


    I shook my head in agreement. ¡°Probably a month or two after graduation.¡± I heard him let out a sigh.


    ¡°That¡¯s good to hear. I am happy for you and congrattions, Avery Lance.¡± He stretched his hands towards me for an handshake.


    I hope this confession of mine doesn¡¯t ruin our rtionship.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you having a man now won¡¯t stop me from being close to you. I¡¯ll still look after you but I won¡¯te around your block to pick you up to school.¡± Freddie said as if he had read my mind.


    I sighed in relief. ¡°Thank you for understanding.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. But you also have to do me a favor.¡± Freddie grinned as he let go of my hands.


    ¡°What is it?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Permit me to drive you home just for today to meet your fianc¨¦. From what happened this early, I figured now that he is feeling insecure. I don¡¯t mean any harm but I just want to reintroduce myself to him and reassure him that there is absolutely nothing else between us. Aside the fact that I am your course mate, a good friend, personal chauffeur and study partner.¡± Freddie counted his fingers as he listed the roles he was ying in my life.


    I couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Alright, you can meet him again. But he left home annoyance because he found out that I didn¡¯t tell you about our rtionship. I have no idea where he went to and he didn¡¯t even take his cellphone with him.¡± I had a worried look on my face as we started the walk again.


    ¡°I am sure he is fine. But he is such a jealous big man. I don¡¯t me him though any man would do the same to protect his woman.¡± Freddie chuckled.


    ¡°His jealousy is quite on the high side.¡± I replied.


    ¡°Just tell him to buy you a car.¡± Freddieughed as he tucked his hand into his front jeans pocket.


    ¡°Yeah he once made the offer to buy me a car but I declined it.¡± I responded and Freddie stopped walking.


    ¡°I guess you don¡¯t have any choice now since I am retiring from the position of being a chauffeur.¡± He smirked.


    I giggled softly. ¡°You are right. I have to make some research in the library.¡±


    ¡°I have to do the same too. I came out of the library to find you since I couldn¡¯t think straight.¡± Freddie winked.


    I hit his upper arm yfully. ¡°Then let us go back to the library to do the research and after that we head down to my ce.¡±


    ¡°Alright. And that way I can review your team project and you do the same with mine.¡± Freddie responded with a shrug.


    ¡°Deal.¡± I smiled and gave him a thumbs up.


    We continue the walk back to the library. Freddie and I got separated when we saw our team members sitting at different tables to work on the final project.

 EPISODE NINETEEN

    THEME: The furious mate


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    Freddie and I finished with our respective teams around 5:00 pm. So he drove me back home and I became so worried when I stepped into the house only to find out that Kayden wasn¡¯t home yet.  The note I left was the same way I had left it and I tried to think about where he could be but no where came to my mind. I reasoned if he has gone back to the pack but my wolf kicked against it.


    Freddie helped to calm me down while reassuring me that my fianc¨¦ was fine. I managed to prepare dinner with the hope that all of us would eat together at least to put Kayden mind at ease.


    But Kayden didn¡¯t show up and I was almost at the verge of loosing my mind. What if something has happened to my mate? I picked up my phone to call alpha Scott to ask if Kayden was back in the pack but it turned out that they haven¡¯t heard from him today. Something isn¡¯t quite alright. My wolf couldn¡¯t connect with our mate. Even though we haven¡¯t bonded fully yet our wolves could still make connections at some levels.


    I stood up from the couch and began to pace to and fro with sweat grazing my forehead.


    ¡°You need to rx, Avery. I am sure Kayden is fine. What if he went to a bar or club to have a drink with some friend?¡± Freddie suggested.


    I shook my head in disagreement. ¡°Kayden doesn¡¯t have friends around here. He doesn¡¯t doesn¡¯t know this area well and he doesn¡¯t drink alcohol.¡± I answered.


    It is impossible to exin how my wolf¡¯s feel at the moment to Freddie. And that Kayden¡¯s wolf has a low tolerance to alcohol despite having the alpha¡¯s blood flowing in his veins. It was a w that he can¡¯t escape because it seemed to be Alpha Scott¡¯s weakness too. So if Kayden drinks then he is definitely going to get drunk and probably be aggressive like he had once exined to me .


    ¡°I am sure he must be somewhere around the block.¡± Freddie added.


    ¡°Maybe we should have checked the clubs and bars around here instead of sitting here for about three hours trying to wait for his return.¡± I blinked back tears that was starting to form at the corners of my eyes.


    ¡°Avery-¡± Freddie was interrupted by a beep from his phone. ¡°Sorry I have to pick this call.¡± He picked up his phone right next to him on the couch.


    ¡°Hello Brenda.¡± Freddie said. ¡°Yes.. I am with Avery. No¡­ what?!¡± His eyes widened in shock.


    I couldn¡¯t hear what Brenda, his elder sister was saying over the phone but I knew something bad must have happened. Freddie stood up abruptly. ¡°Which hospital? Oh my God! I¡¯ll be right there with you.¡± He disconnected the call.


    ¡°Freddie what¡¯s wrong?¡± I asked as he grabbed his car keys from the couch.


    ¡°Mom.. copsed at home and she has been rushed to the hospital.¡± He exined briefly.


    ¡°Oh my goodness! I hope she is fine!?!¡± Panics filled me.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.. yet but Brenda said the doctor are attending¡­ to her at the moment.¡±  Freddie stuttered.


    ¡°You should get going, Freddie.¡± I said.


    ¡°I don¡¯t feel good leaving you here to worry alone and -¡±


    I cut him off. ¡°No.. don¡¯t worry.. I¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    ¡°Are you sure, Avery?¡± Freddie asked with a concerned look on his face.


    ¡°I can manage. Freddie go ahead your mother needs you more than I do.¡± I embraced him but tofort and assure him that his mom would be fine. I could see the fears in his eyes probably from the mere thought of loosing his mother.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Mrs Selena Jordon had singlehandedly raised five children. She is one of the most influential women in the state and in charge of Jordan motors, apany founded by her husband before he died when Freddie was six. And Mrs Selene Jordan didn¡¯t remarry, she devoted her life to thepany that seemed like her husband and then her children.


    ¡°Give me a call when Kayden returns.¡± Freddie whispered into my ears.


    I hummed a response. But the door swung opened with a m on the wall. Our heads snapped at the entrance as I was still caught in Freddie¡¯s arms.


    My mate stood at the entrance causing us to break free from the friendly hug immediately.


    ¡°Kayden-¡± I paused as he walked into the apartment, his footsteps


    hitting on the wooden floor.


    A furious look disyed on his expression as he stared at Freddie and then a hurtful expression as his gaze drifted to me. My heart beat elerated, it beats so hard in my chest as I walked over to him.


    ¡°Kayden, where have.. you been?¡± I asked just a few steps close to him.


    ¡°This your innocent face always seem to get to me-¡± Kayden paused and my wolf picked up the  strong smell of alcohol from and it has already masked his naturally body scent.


    ¡°Kayden, have you been drinking all day?¡± I questioned but all I got was a deep chuckle.


    ¡°It¡¯s not going to work on me this time.¡± Kayden gritted and took steps further towards me.


    ¡°Kayden-¡±


    He cuts off my words. ¡°Is this what you have always been doing with him while I am away from you?!¡± Kayden snarled.


    ¡°Kayden¡­ it is not what you are thinking.¡± I replied in a low tone.


    ¡°What do you want me to think? That you are innocent?! That you haven¡¯t been cheating on me with him?! That you are a twenty three years old virgin who had been fucking with her male friend!¡± He grimaced in anger.


    My eyes widened in shock. ¡°What?!¡± I gasped out.


    ¡°Oh yes! If I am wrong.. then what the hell is he doing here?!¡± Kayden yelled.


    A tear slipped down my cheeks at his words. Okay he believes that I have been sleeping around or with Freddie. Alright it is all my fault because he met us in apromised position. I¡¯ll take all the me even though I expected that he ought to give me a chance to exin.

 EPISODE TWENTY

    THEME: The abused mate


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    I turned away from him and went to Freddie. ¡°You should leave now.¡± I breathed out.


    ¡°No Avery.. are you sure that you¡¯ll be fine with him?¡± Freddie said in a low tone.


    A snort came from Kayden. I nodded my head repeatedly as I wiped the single tear that had strayed down my cheeks.


    ¡°Yes.. I¡¯ll just have a chat with Kayden. Everything will be fine.¡± I replied.


    ¡°Okay but call me if anything goes wrong.¡± Freddie mumbled before he walked away from me. He was almost close to Kayden who walked passed him in an attempt to storm off to the bedroom but only after making his shoulder hit Freddie¡¯s own.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to act this way. And this jealous act won¡¯t get you anywhere with Avery.¡± Freddie turned to look at me.


    Kayden stopped walking but he didn¡¯t turn to face Freddie but I could see him clenched his fist.


    ¡°Avery already exined things to me. And out of my friendly act, I only waited for you to reassure you that there is absolutely nothing going on between us.¡± He said.


    ¡°Freddie, there is no need to say anything. I¡¯ll sort-¡±


    He interrupted me. A deep frown formed on his face. ¡°No, he should know that you haven¡¯t been cheating on him with me. He should know how much you love him. Your rtionship is about to lead to a life time affair and he doesn¡¯t even trust you. Are you sure you want to go down this road with someone who doesn¡¯t even believe every word you say?¡± Freddie looked straight at me.


    My head dropped down in disappointment. And before I could stop what was about to happen, Kayden charged towards Freddie and soon he had him pinned against the nearest wall.


    ¡°Kayden! No.. Kayden! You can¡¯t hurt him!¡± I screamed but before I could get to them, Kayden punched Freddie a few times and threw him against another part of the spacious sitting room.


    ¡°Freddie!¡± I screamed and rushed towards him.


    Freddie groaned in pains as I could see blood tickling from the side of his head. I heard Kayden¡¯s footsteps behind me again and I stood up quickly. He was close to shifting into his Predator form. If I don¡¯t stop him then Kayden would kill Freddie. I won¡¯t let it happen even if I have to fight with myst breathe.


    ¡°Kayden.. please¡­¡± I ran towards him and hugged him. His body reeks of alcohol that almost choked me. ¡°Just.. let him go.. he doesn¡¯t mean any.. harm. He is just a human.. so please¡­¡± I pleaded as tears flowed down my cheeks uncontrobly.


    Kayden growled as he tried to push me off but I held onto him tightly.


    ¡°Leave Freddie! Please leave! Now.. just go please!¡± I cried out.


    ¡°Avery-¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be fine! Please run! I beg you! Your mom needs you by her side!¡± I pleaded with Freddie to leave.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± Freddie uttered profanities as he scurried out of my apartment, mming the door in the process.


    Kayden pushed me away with full force and I ended up falling with my right arm hitting the ground that was meant to support my weight. I screamed out due to the pain I felt in my arm. And I knew I had either sprained it or broken a bone in my arm.


    ¡°That bastard! I should have killed him!¡± Kayden hissed out.


    ¡°Freddie¡­ didn¡¯t do.. anything wrong.¡± I tried to sit up but couldn¡¯t raise my right arm to support myself up causing me to wince in pain the more I tried.


    He charged toward me, grabbed my clothes and pulled me up to my feet. ¡°Are you defending him?!¡± He gritted.


    The look in his eyes scared the hell out of me and even my wolf was terrified. Is this my mate?


    ¡°No.. no.. I am not-¡± my words were cut short by him cing his lips on mine. The kiss was an aggressive one which didn¡¯t sit well with me. One of his hand started down to raised my gown up as he tried to touch the most sensitive part of my body.


    ¡°You have been busy fucking around with him right?! Then you should do the same with me as your mate!¡± He bit my lower lip hard as he caged me to his body.


    I struggled and tried to resist him but his hold was too tight on me. ¡°Kayden.. please.. don¡¯t do this¡­¡± He tried to pull at my panties and touch my center but I didn¡¯t let my legs spread apart so he could have his way.


    ¡°Just listen to me!¡± I screamed out and used my left arm to make a hit on his chest.


    Kayden pushed me away and I fell to the ground again. ¡°You liar! Cheater! Whore!¡± He gritted his teeth in anger.


    His words broke my heart. I began to wonder if he was acting under the influence of alcohol or Kayden has always been this way whenever he is angry. He came to me again while I tried to crawl away but he grabbed my hair.


    I screamed out. ¡°Kayden.. please stop.. you are hurting me!¡± I cried out when he pulled more at my hair.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    My scalp burned and the pain in my arm doubled when a pnded on my face again. He tried to throw a lethal kick at my stomach but I curled up my knees to protect that part of my body.


    My mate just hit me? I couldn¡¯t believe it. Maybe I had fallen into trance while waiting for him with Freddie. I waited for reality to bring me out of this state but nothing happened. It was real ¨C my mate justid his hands on me. I tasted blood in my mouth and when I spat it out I saw clothed red color on the wooden floor.


    The realization of my mate hitting me automatically made me weak. And I didn¡¯t make an attempt to get up for a few minutes. My whole body was numb and all I just did was cry on the floor.


    My wolf was extremely silent, I tried to call out to her to save me but she withdrew far away to the back of my mind. Obviously she was disappointed in our mate.


    His big form hovered above me. ¡°Kayden.. I never.. cheated on you. I never¡­ cheated on you. I.. didn¡¯t do it. I swear to the moon goddess.¡± I paused.


    Wolves aren¡¯t permitted to swear out loud to the one we respect the most in our world. But swearing to the moon goddess was the only option I had to make my mate believe me.


    Kayden hissed and then walked off not to the bedroom but kitchen. I tried to think of what he might have gone there to do. Grab a knife to kill me?


    I managed to get up to my feet holding my right arm as I walked to the couch and grabbed my phone. I should at least call for help. Someone needed to know that my mate wanted me dead.


    My breathe caught in my throat when I heard his footsteps again but when I turned towards him, Kayden had a bowl and towel in his hand.


    ¡°Avery-¡± I heard my name and no other words came after it.


    He wanted to clean me up after what he has done?! My mate has gone crazy! And I don¡¯t want to believe that I deserve this treatment from my mate because I didn¡¯t tell Freddie I have a man in my life. Maybe if I had made things clear to Freddie earlier than this then a misconception from Kayden wouldn¡¯t have happened.


    ¡°Avery.. wait-¡± he tried to block my pathway but I shoved him aside with my other arm.


    ¡°I want to be alone.¡± I mumbled.


    I walked back to the room, shut the door and slowly slipped to the ground as I cried my eyes out for hours. Few minutester, I heard a soft knock on the door.


    ¡°Avery, please don¡¯t hurt yourself. I am sorry¡­ I didn¡¯t mean to hurt you.¡± Kayden pleaded.


    This man behind this closed door sounded so much like the loving mate I have known for two years but he already hurt me and my wolf badly.


    ¡°Avery.. please..e out. You can hit me all you want.. but please don¡¯t hurt yourself.¡± Kayden said.


    I didn¡¯t want to hear his voice. So I stood up, walked into the bathroom and then shut the door. I didn¡¯t look like thedy named Avery Lance. My reflection in the mirror depicted an image of a human woman who just suffered an abuse from her husband to be. I opened the top attached to the sink and winced in pain when I poured water into my mouth to wash out the blood.


    I managed to slip out of my outfit to have a quick shower. I couldn¡¯t make use to my right arm properly because each time I tried, I could feel pains in there. After taking a shower, I opted in for a transparent night gown, the easiest one I could wear without having to stress my right arm. I slept on the bed and covered myself with that bed covers that was warm and it seemed to be the only thing that couldfort me at that moment.


    And I cried myself to sleep throughout the night and I didn¡¯t know when I drifted off to sleep.

 EPISODE TWENTY-ONE

    THEME: Have you heard?


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    I woke up to a loud beeping sound that aggregated the ache I was feeling in my head. It was from a phone which I thought was very much close by. And without opening my eyes, I reached out to the spot I always keep my phone right under the next pillow but it wasn¡¯t there and I was stopped by the pain I felt in my right arm which I just moved. I uttered a profanity as my eyes red opened and I withdrew my right arm quickly and back under the bed cover.


    I stayed still for some minutes until the pain reduced. The phone had stopped ringing but the sound came again causing me to sit up on the bed slowly. I tried to find it but it wasn¡¯t on the bed. I hopped out of the bed to check the bed side drawer where the green light in the rm beeped 10:30 am. The phone wasn¡¯t there neither was it on the dressing table. I touched my forehead but retracted my hand as if it had burned me. That spot was so hot, with the soreness in my throat and I knew that I wasing down with fever.


    I turned without looking at the mirror, knowing that my reflection would be a total mess. I traced the sound using my wolf¡¯s hearing and I found it at the door where I had slipped down on to cryst night. I crouched down and sat in India style to pick the call but it stopped ringing. Five missed calls from Elena, one of my ex roommates in college. She has a huge crush on Freddie and had once asked me to set up a date for her with him. I did tried to convince Freddie to meet Elena but he wasn¡¯t interested. And thinking about it now, I figured it must have been because Freddie likes me that¡¯s why he didn¡¯t agree to go on a date with Elena.


    The thought of Freddie and everything that happenedst night almost brought tears to my eyes but I sniffed and blinked it back. How do I face my mate after what happened between usst night? Telling my parents about this abuse would definitely cause a riff between both packs. So I made it ast option in case Kayden tries to hit me again.


    My mind drifted to Freddie. Well I hope he is fine. I truly hope that his mom is doing okay. Andstly I prayed for the punches and hard fall against the wall not to affect him so he won¡¯t file awsuit against Kayden which might reveal our identities as wolves.


    A beep from the phone jolted me out of thoughts. I looked down at it and Elena was calling again. I clicked the screen to ept the call and put it on speaker. I cleared my throat to hide my croaked voice from shedding too much tearsst night.


    ¡°Hello Elena,¡± I said. No response came from the other end.


    ¡°Elena,¡± I called her again but was greeted by the sound of sobs on the other end.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    My heartbeat elerated. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Elena?¡± I asked. Silence.


    ¡°Elena! Tell me what¡¯s wrong?!¡± I demanded in a slightly raised tone.


    Elena sniffed. ¡°Have you heard?¡±


    I furrowed my eyebrows. ¡°Heard what? Do we have an emergency test again?¡± I asked.


    ¡°No.. no.. have you seen the news?¡± Elena said shakily.


    ¡°No your call woke me up just now.¡± I answered.


    ¡°Avery-¡± Elena¡¯s voice trailed off.


    ¡°Tell me what¡¯s wrong¡­ please?¡± I mumbled, trying to calm my heart rate.


    Elena sobbed loudly. ¡°Elena-¡± she interrupted me.


    ¡°Freddie is dead.¡± She blurted out in a tight whisper.


    ¡°What?!¡± I gasped out in shock as if I had heard wrongly.


    ¡°Freddie is dead.¡± Elena repeated.


    It seemed like I had just lost my hearing. ¡°How?¡± I whispered.


    ¡°I first saw the news on the school group that Freddie¡¯s car got hit by a drunk truck driver on his way to see his mom at the hospital after she copsed at homest night.¡± Elena narrated.


    A tear strayed down one of my cheeks as I tried toprehend her words. ¡°Freddie¡­ can¡¯t.. be.. dead¡­¡± I stammered, feeling my body starting to tremble at the news.


    ¡°Freddie is dead.¡± Elena said again.


    And I knew that I wasn¡¯t dreaming. ¡°Freddie can¡¯t be dead.¡± I mumbled as the tears that had threatened to spill streamed down my face and I couldn¡¯t control it.


    ¡°I am still finding it hard to believe. News have it that his mom is still ina and has no idea that her son is dead. His elder sister revealed to the news after he was confirmed dead. Avery, did you see Freddie yesterday?¡± Elena asked.


    The incident fromst night came into my mind. ¡°Yes.. I was with him yesterday.. tillte night until he left to see.. his mom.¡± I couldn¡¯t mention it that my mate had injured Freddie before he leftst night.


    ¡°Freddie can¡¯t be dead. Elena, he can¡¯t be dead.¡± I sobbed.


    ¡°He is dead. We need to attend his funeral once his family announce the date. It pains me that Freddie is dead. It shouldn¡¯t have been-¡± Her voice broke off and when I looked down at the phone, the call already ended.


    Ipleted Elena¡¯s words in my head. It shouldn¡¯t have been Freddie. The words Freddie can¡¯t be dead, I chanted it in my mind. Slowly I stood up, switched on my data to check the news. Several headlines about Freddie broke mepletely.


    ¡°Rightful heir to Jordan motors, Freddie Jordan confirmed dead after being hit by a drunk truck driver.¡± His death was trending the search of all sites and media houses. I yed a short clip of Brenda Jordan.


    ¡°I called my brotherst night to inform him about my mom¡¯s condition and he promised to be right here with me.¡± Brenda had an handkerchief in her hand to wipe her tears.


    ¡°My brother didn¡¯t make it to the hospital to see me and our mom. I am heartbroken because none of us has seen him in weeks and we have been nning his birthday party secretly to surprise him. My mom is ina while my brother is dead. I can¡¯t believe this is happening to my family.¡± Brenda cried before she continued.


    ¡°Freddie¡­ I want justice for my brother. The drunk driver is in the hospital receiving treatment while my brother¡¯s bodyy in the mortuary. I want justice for my brother.¡± The video ended.


    I believed the news that Freddie was indeed dead which caused me to cry out in agony.


    ¡°Freddie!¡± I recalled how he had tried to convince Kaydenst night.


    Guilt crept up in my heart, eating deep into my soul and all I could think of was ming myself for his death.

 EPISODE TWENTY-TWO

    THEME: Death of a good friend


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    I believed the news that Freddie was indeed dead which caused me to cry out in agony.


    ¡°Freddie!¡± I recalled how he had tried to convince Kaydenst night.


    Guilt crept up in my heart, eating deep into my soul and all I could think of was ming myself for his death.


    I shouldn¡¯t have agreed to let him meet Kayden. Maybe if I had let him leave early before Kayden came in then Freddie would still be very much alive. Maybe I should have forced him to leave before he tried to convince Kayden that I wasn¡¯t cheating. Maybe I should have stopped Kayden and made him hit me more in ce of beating up Freddie.


    Too many maybes and ways to have prevented Freddie from dying crashed my mind as memories of the time spent with Freddie yed in my mind.


    ¡°I killed.. Freddie.¡± I walked to the dressing table.


    I saw my reflection in the mirror. Messed up hair, swollen face from shedding too much tears, purple colored bruise by the side of my jaw, palm print on one of my cheeks and a bursted lips. My mate had inflicted this abuse on me and now the pain of Freddie¡¯s death.


    A knock came on the door. ¡°Avery, are you okay?¡± I heard his voice but I was irritated.


    I was trying so hard not to hate him and I was quick to ept the fact that my mate and I killed Freddie. What if the injury on his head that he sustainedst night had made him dizzy while driving which had caused him to miss his bnce with the wheels and he ended up running into an oing truck? I should have stopped him.


    ¡°Avery.. please open up the door.¡± Kayden knocked again.


    Am I this weak to have let my mate bring me so much pain? I should have fought back right? Why do I need to swear to the moon goddess just for my mate to believe me? I thought we trusted each other and we were bonded by true love. I tried to think about what might have gone wrong in my rtionship with my mate but I couldn¡¯t find anything. We have been doing fine for years now.


    I realized that the problem wasn¡¯t from me but Kayden. His jealousy and insecurities has destroyed a lot of things and has even killed someone in the process. So why do I have to be the one to take all the me when I was only trying to protect our identities as wolves? Why do I need to make my rtionship known to a human when I have been recognized as a Luna of a great pack. Knowing that I have never done anything wrong so far and even from the beginning infuriated me!


    What¡¯s wrong in wanting to achieve my dreams? What¡¯s wrong in getting a degree as a wolf? What¡¯s wrong in waiting a little more time before I get married?! I see nothing wrong in having a desire! The wolf system of this era is just fucked up and so old fashioned!


    I threw my phone against the wall and let my anger get the best of me! I don¡¯t give a damn if I was in the another world far away from home. My wolf awakened, feeling furious and I could feel her trying toe out into the open right in the room. I couldn¡¯t fight for control because I know we don¡¯t deserve this pain.


    I picked up the golf stick nearby and broke the dressing mirror, the shattered sses flew through the air and I felt blood ticking down my cheeks when a piece sliced through my skin. I could feel fur recing my delicate skin but I didn¡¯t want to shiftpletely. My wolf was angry and it craved to destroy everything.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    I broke more art works, bed sidemb, ss frames of me and my mate and I destroyed the dressing tablepletely. I heard Kayden banging on the door and calling out my name to open the door by ignored him.


    Thest time my wolf acted this way was when a wolf bully in our pack tried to steal my lunch. The big wolf had threatened to beat me up but I warned her to stay away from me. She mocked me for being a book worm instead of paying attention to the affairs of the pack. I might not be the next in line to be the alpha of our pack but I have the blood of an alpha running through my views which makes me proud and powerful. If I had paid attention to training as a full time warrior I would be able to fight off any wolf without an alpha lineage. I had let my wolf take control and we beat up the big bully wolf and she ended up in the infirmary. She spent about two months in the infirmary trying to heal from a broken bone and broken ribs. I was punished for almost killing another wolf but I was also happy that I had defended myself. The big bully wolf became a gentle wolf till she relocated to another pack with her family after some years.

 EPISODE TWENTY-THREE

    THEME: The angry she-wolf


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    I heard a thud and turned towards the sound. Kayden just broke down the door. His eyes widened in shock when he saw my appearance.


    ¡°Avery-what happened?¡± His eyes scanning the messed up room.


    I chuckled deviously. ¡°Are you asking me?¡± I pointed the golf stick at him.


    ¡°You are still around? I thought you left for your pack.¡± I said in a mockery tone.


    ¡°Avery, how can I leave after what happenedst night?¡± A remorseful look yed on his face.


    ¡°You should have left because your face irritates me. But I am trying so much now to hate you because you are my mate.¡± I muttered in a stern tone.


    ¡°That¡¯s a relief.¡± He mumbled.


    I arched my eyebrows with a deep frown forming on my face. ¡°A relief to you but a pain to me.¡±


    ¡°Listen Avery-¡± he started towards me.


    ¡°Don¡¯te close to me!¡± I stood defensively, holding on to the golf stick tightly. He stopped walking towards me.


    ¡°What have I done to deserve this treatment from my mate?! I never wanted one but you came into my life and all I ever did was love you!¡± I raised my voice.


    ¡°I love you too, Avery.¡± Kayden said.


    I shook my head in disagreement. ¡°No! We were doing just fine, Kayden. But what happened to us? You changed. Jealousy took over every part of you to the extent of using me of cheating.¡± I said in a tight whisper.


    ¡°Look Avery-¡±


    I screamed out. ¡°I have never been with any man my whole life except you! I was keeping myself just for my mate!¡± I stopped as tears flowed again.


    ¡°Last night was the worst day of my whole life. I.. I.. Opened up to Freddie that I have a man and all he did was wish me well. He.. He offered to see you to give an assurance that there was nothing going on between us! But what did you do? You beat him.. a mere human and you tried to kill him.¡± I sniffed.


    ¡°I was almost raped by my own mate and also got beaten up by him. Was it the alcohol or that¡¯s he is? I can¡¯t decipher. You know.. it was fine to hit me all you want but not Freddie. He was innocent. Only to wake up this morning -¡± I paused and bit on my lower lips.


    ¡°Only to wake up this morning to the news that Freddie is dead!¡± I screamed out.


    Kayden was surprised. ¡°Freddie.. oh Freddie car got hit by a truck. We killed him!¡± I cried out.


    Kayden shook his head in disagreement. ¡°We didn¡¯t kill him. You just said it that he got hit by a truck.¡±


    I nodded my head slowly. ¡°Yeah.. but right after he left my home!¡± I snarled.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t kill Freddie! We didn¡¯t kill him so get that into your head!¡± Kayden yelled at me. And the remorseful look from earlier disappeared and was reced with an angry look.


    ¡°How did you want me to believe that you didn¡¯t have anything to do with Freddie even after seeing you in his arms?!¡± He pointed out.


    ¡°What?!¡± His words made me weak causing the golf stick to drop down to my side. I winced in pain.


    It seemed like my mate still doesn¡¯t believe me even after swearing to the moon goddess.


    ¡°You should have considered my feelings first when you were embracing him like you guys just had something together!¡± Kayden growled.


    I heard a thud again, the golf stick just slipped from my hand to the ground.


    ¡°We weren¡¯t naked.¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°It still doesn¡¯t matter.¡± He gritted.


    ¡°Freddie received a call from his elder sister that his mom copsed at work. He wanted to stay back until you return but I had to assure him that I was fine. I was worried about you.. I couldn¡¯t do anything. And I only embraced him tofort him and thank him to sticking around as a friend. We didn¡¯t do anything!¡± I exined in a low tone.


    ¡°Well.. how do you expect me to know that?¡± Kayden spat.


    I looked up at him. ¡°You should have given me a chance to exin to you. Kayden, how did we get to this point? What else do you want me to do to make you believe that I never cheated on you?! I have sworn to the moon goddess! What else do you want?!¡± I walked towards him.


    ¡°You want me to give myself to you?! Fine! Come one! Sleep with me.. Kayden.. so you can believe that I never had anything to do with Freddie or anyone else!¡± I drew my gown up.


    He tried to stop me but I jerked free. ¡°Come on! You can fuck me all you want right here!¡± I pulled my night gown over my head and stood in front of him in only panties.


    I grabbed one of his hand in an attempt to ce it on my chest but he pulled away from me.


    ¡°I am done begging you to believe me! If this isn¡¯t going to work out then reject me as your mate and be with someone else!¡± I turned away from him and cried.


    But Kayden grabbed my wrist and swirled me around to him. ¡°What did you just say?¡± He gritted his teeth in anger.


    I jerked free aggressively. ¡°You can go ahead and hit me again! Come on.. hit me again!¡± I pushed at his solid chest. ¡°Reject me as your mate to be with someone else! I am not the problem in this rtionship but you are the problem! So I am done with you!¡± I grounded out in annoyance.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    I made an attempt to leave the room but he caught up with me, blocked my pathway and pulled me into his chest.


    ¡°No.. no.. you can¡¯t.. be done with me.¡± He said.


    I struggled to get out of the embrace but he held on to me.


    ¡°I believe you! I believe you! You didn¡¯t cheat on me! I am the problem in this rtionship¡­ whatever! I am sorry! Avery please.. I can¡¯t live without you! I need you as my mate! You have to be by my aside.¡± He said into my ears but it seemed like my ears weren¡¯t hearing clearly.


    ¡°Avery, I am sorry. I won¡¯t-¡± the rest of his words faded in my ears and all I could feel was my heartbeat, my wolf beat connecting to his wolf¡¯s heartbeat to strengthen my weak and numb body but it wasn¡¯t working.


    Our souls were far apart and I concluded that it must be because we aren¡¯t on good terms at the moment. And thest thing I heard was the faint sounds of my mate calling out my name before I went still in his arms.

 EPISODE TWENTY-FOUR

    THEME: Her pup


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    She ising. She is right behind me. She is chasing down my wolf with a silver dagger in her hand. She didn¡¯t shift into her wolf form and I wondered why? For me to see her face? I couldn¡¯t think of any reason. I only recognized the face of my chaser.


    The she wolf. The same wolf who had begged me to go somewhere far away from the pack because she was carrying my mate¡¯s pub and she had killed me in his presence.


    What on earth have I done wrong to deserve this chaser¡¯s wrath? Because she wants my mate? I pondered as I picked up a fast pace to escape from her.


    But my wolf stopped on track when I felt something cut through my right limp. The pain was so horrid making it hard for us to move further. We moved, paws stepped on a stone and soon my wolf was stumbling down the forest floor covered with dry leaves. Everywhere was so dark making it harder for me to tell anything as our body made an impact with a tree.


    My wolf howled a painful cry into the sky. Thorns torn at my fur as we fell. I heard a loudughter echoed in my ears as I felt my body shifting back into human form. I felt cold as Iy on the ground all naked.


    My chaser caught up with me and crouched down to my size in the ground. ¡°You poor.. little thing.¡± The she wolfughed deviously.


    I could feel aches all over my body mixed with excruciating pain that shot through my system. I screamed out when my chaser grabbed my hair. Tears sting in my eyes as she position my head to look into her eyes.


    ¡°What.. do you.. want from me?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Him. I mean.. your mate.¡± She answered.


    Her words offended my wolf but we were too weak to even move an inch from that spot. The dagger that had pierced my limp was a silver one capable of decapitating my wolf¡¯s strength and ability to fight back.


    ¡°Will you give him up to me?¡± A smirk yed on her face.


    ¡°Why should I give him up? He is mine!¡± I grimaced in anger as tears streamed down my cheeks.


    ¡°Still stubborn! He doesn¡¯t love you! He is madly in love with me! I love him so much and can¡¯t wait forever to find my own mate. Well I hope he doesn¡¯t find me too!¡± She let go of my hair and stood up.


    Why won¡¯t she wait patiently to meet her mate instead ofing after mine? Why did she pick my mate out of all the wolves in this pack and beyond? She hopes her mate never finds her too? I despised her for being selfish! For wanting to take away what belongs to me!


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a choice. I have to end this as soon as possible. I should take your life so he can finally be mine!¡± She threw a lethal kick at my stomach that caused me to curl up my knees and my hands went around me to protect that part of my body.


    ¡°Please.. don¡¯t kill me.. I have a pub growing in.. my belly.¡± I said shakily. The pain was bing unbearable. And my greatest fear was loosing my pub.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care if you are carrying his pub! I am also carrying his pub too!¡± She snarled at me.


    I reached one hand to touch her leg but she stepped on it. I groaned in pains.


    I was confused. We were both carrying pubs in our stomachs for the same wolf. How did it turn out this way?


    ¡°Just die! Just die! Just die! Kayden doesn¡¯t want you as his mate! I am the best choice for him!¡± She pressed her leather boot harder on my hand.


    ¡°Please¡­¡± I tried to free my hand. It hurts so badly. I felt cold liquid running down my thighs. At the same time there was a bustling sound nearby.


    A sharp pain shot down my belly. My heart beat elerated as I prayed for it not to be what I was thinking in my head.


    ¡°Who is out there?!¡± She demanded, letting go of my hand. The sound continued as if calling out to her attention.


    Someone was here to save me from this evil wolf.  She walked away towards the direction of the sound. I dragged my naked body to sit up and looked down between my thighs.


    ¡°No.. no.. no¡­¡± I cried at the sight of blood. ¡°My.. pub.. my.. pub¡­¡± I touched my thighs. ¡°Please.. stay with me¡­¡± I became weaker at the thought that I just lost my first pub.


    ¡°Avery.¡± I heard a familiar voice. What¡¯s he doing here? My head snapped up to see him looking at me.


    ¡°Freddie..¡± I mumbled.


    How did he get here? He was dressed as a patrol guard! Freddie died right? What the hell is going on?! He doesn¡¯t even belong to this world?! Perhaps did he survive the ident?! Did some sort of miracle take ce?! Different questions flooded my mind.


    ¡°Come on we should escape before shees back. I managed to distract her.¡± His eyes trailed down to my body. ¡°You are bleeding!¡±


    Didn¡¯t he realize that I was totally naked in front of him?


    ¡°My.. baby..¡± I cried.


    ¡°You are pregnant?¡± Freddie asked in a surprised tone.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    I shook my head slowly. ¡°Come with me¡­¡± He stretched out his hand towards me but I hesitated. Why is a dead man offering to help me escape?


    ¡°Freddie.. I am sorry¡­¡± I bit down on my lower lip to suppress the sharp pain in my belly.


    ¡°You have been damaged. There is nothing here for you anymore. Juste with me and I will save you.  I¡¯ll give you the peace of mind and happiness that you desire.¡± A small smile yed on his face as if he was luring me to him.


    I shook my head in disagreement. ¡°No.. you are dead. Freddie.. you are dead..¡± I started backward, bending slowly with my hand down my belly.


    ¡°I am not dead. But I am in a peaceful ce. And I want you there with me.¡± His smile grew broader. It was as if he was casting a spell on me.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to die. I.. don¡¯t-¡± I closed my eyes and leaned back on a tree breathing heavily.


    ¡°I am sorry, Freddie. You don¡¯t deserve to die. I am sorry.. please.. forgive me. Please Freddie-¡± I was feeling dizzy when I reopened my eyes but Freddie was nowhere to be found.


    The forest was so silent. Did he leave already? What about the she wolf? Slowly I fell to the ground with no hands avable to catch me. I felt so lonely as Iy on the ground in the dark forest.


    Should I give up my mate so all this torture can end? I already lost a good friend and my pub so what else is left for me in this world?


    All of a sudden, I heard a loud howl in the sky. I recognized it ¨C my mate was here to save me? If that¡¯s the case I should be happy right? But his presence doesn¡¯t give me a relief. And my wolf didn¡¯t even try to make the connection to make it easier for him to find us.


    And that¡¯s thest thing I heard before I lost consciousnesspletely.

 EPISODE TWENTY-FIVE

    THEME: Protecting my mate


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    A dream? Yes, it was all a dream. I could feel a hand on my forehead, a gentle contact, warm and careful. I felt a pain when the soft warmth dissolved and thefort was gone. My body was on fire and an ache all over my body. I felt the heat, cold, the pain burning and deep bone aches.


    Then I felt my body shaking. If was a convulsive shivering. In my unconscious state, I felt strong arms pinning me down to keep me in ce. A deep voice, so soft and soothing pleaded with me to not give up.


    ¡°Call the Theta!¡± Another baritone voice barked out orders.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Avery.. please.. stay with me.¡± The first voice pleaded.


    ¡°We should give her the concoction before the Theta arrives. It might help suppress the pains she is feeling.¡± A sweet voice said.


    I was too weary to even open my eyes. The shivering grew as I heard soft pleads in my ears. ¡°Avery, please¡­¡±


    ¡°She needs your warmth so embrace her tightly.¡± A different voice instructed.


    A strong arms gathered me and held me so tight. My mouth was forcefully opened as I felt something against my lips. A warm liquid as I almost choked on it but I managed to swallow it down her throat.


    And gradually, the shivering lessened as I snuggled into the warmth. A voice whispered that I would be fine and very slowly I cked outpletely.


    *******************


    I woke up to absolute silence and darkness. I blinked my eyes to have a clearer vision of where I was. I recognized this ce to be Kayden¡¯s room. I groaned in pain as I moved my right arm that felt so heavy and tight.


    What really happened to me? How did I ended up in ck moon pack? I closed my eyes for a moment andy very still as I remembered the whole drama with my mate.


    My confession to Freddie about my rtionship, waiting for Kayden¡¯s return, the warm embrace I shared with good friend and Kayden beating up an innocent human who had tried to defend me. The abuse on me that made me cringe and the news about Freddie¡¯s death that brought tears into my eyes again. The fight with Kayden to prove my innocence until I passed out.


    I sank deeper into the bed that made me feel warm as I remembered everything. Kayden brought me to his pack. Why? I pondered deeply until another set of images shed through my mind¡¯s eyes.


    The dream. Why do I keep seeing this she wolf? Why does she want my destined mate? What¡¯s the significance of Freddie being in my dream? To save me? Yes, I recalled how he had distracted the she wolf for me to escape but I didn¡¯t want to go anywhere with a dead soul. Perhaps was it a sign of Freddie saying his final goodbye to me? Was he warning me about the dangers ahead?


    I felt tears slipped down my cheeks as I thought of Freddie. To be honest, I was still finding it hard to believe Freddie was truly dead.


    ¡°Please forgive me¡­ Freddie.¡± Guilt crept up in my heart as I cried my eyes out.


    I also didn¡¯t forget loosing a pub in the dream. What is it? A sign that I would have a pub for my mate? A good sign or a bad sign? I couldn¡¯t think of the right answers to these disturbing questions because Freddie was top most on my mind at the moment. He is my life saver.


    I opened my eyes slowly when I heard the opening of the door. I sensed several footsteps belonging to different people but my nose only picked up my mate¡¯s scent.


    ¡°Do you think she is awake?¡± I heard alpha Scott¡¯s voice.


    ¡°We should check.¡± Luna Beatrice replied.


    ¡°I think she is crying.¡± Katherine voice said after I did a long sniff and used the bed cover to wipe my face.


    ¡°She is awake!¡± Luna Beatrice coaxed.


    Slowly I turned my head toward the only light source in the room which was a bed sidemp.


    ¡°I¡¯ll switch on the light.¡± Katherine added.


    ¡°Avery,¡± Luna Beatrice called at me and soon a brighter light shined in the room.


    She came closer to the bed. ¡°Are you okay?¡± She helped me sit up on the bed as I rested my back and head on the headboard.


    Kayden¡¯s eyes and mine met but I looked away with my gaze fixed on the light in the ceiling. He was few feet away from the bed. He was dressed in a top and casual ck short.


    ¡°Have you been crying?¡± Katherine as as she moved towards the bed.


    I didn¡¯t give a response to her question.


    ¡°Avery, are you still feeling pain on your right arm?¡± Luna Beatrice pointed and my eyes drifted down to my right arm only to see a bandage on my wrist. I didn¡¯t even notice it only that I could feel the heaviness because it was swollen.


    ¡°The theta said you need to be careful with it. And it might take some time to heal if you stress it too much.¡± Katherine said in a pitiful tone.


    Yeah I know that I am a mess and I look pathetic all thanks to my mate. I had incurred the injury after Kayden pushed me away from him to the ground.


    Remembering how it happened made my tears flow again. And with my left hand still working fine, I reached out to wipe my tears and at the same time making sure that the bed cover around my body doesn¡¯te loose. I was dressed in just bra-let and painted underneath the bed cover.


    No one said a word for about two minutes until alpha Scott broke the silence.¡±Tell me what happened.¡± He demanded.


    ¡°I lost a good friend.¡± I started off and recounted the incidence to them. I don¡¯t know what Kayden had told his family, I don¡¯t care but I narrated my part. How my mate doubted my loyalty and faithfulness, how he had hit my friend and I out of anger, everything, I said everything that happened in tears. And I ended with a question to my mate, ¡°What else else do I need to do?¡± But I got no response from him. Kayden was silent throughout my narration.


    Alpha Scott expressed his disappointment in his son and how he intends to be a good leader with this cruel act he has showed towards me. Alpha Scott stated that Kayden was a role model to many young wolves so how would they feel if they heard that the soon to be alpha beat up his mate and future Luna. Alpha Scott was furious and he didn¡¯t hide his words because Kayden was his son. He even asked if I wanted Kayden to receive punishment from him, twentyshes he had said but I disagreed with him.


    I don¡¯t want to ever be like my mate. I know he has done something wrong by hitting me but I would also share his pain if he gets whipped. The alpha, Luna and Katherine apologized on his behalf and they begged me to forgive my mate. I don¡¯t have anything against my mate andI also made a promise to never mention it to anyone not even my parents.


    Despite his wrong deeds, I was still willing to protect him and his reputation as the future alpha of this pack.

 EPISODE TWENTY-SIX

    THEME: I forgive you


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    BLACK MOON PACK


    After the discussion, expressing anger, scolding and crying everything ended with the big alpha saying they would give us a chance to be alone together.


    ¡°If you need anything don¡¯t hesitate to call me.¡± Luna Beatrice shed me a small smile before they exited the room.


    Kayden who has been standing on a spot for over an hours now let out a loud sigh. He ran his hand through his hair and then he moved from the spot. And he approached the bed with a remorseful look on his face. He didn¡¯t uttered a word while his family members scolded him harshly.


    Well we all assumed that his silence meant that he was sorry and epting the med for everything. Although I had also admitted my fault of not telling the truth about my rtionship to Freddie but the Luna and her daughter said I wasn¡¯t wrong. Alpha Scott stated that I was only trying to protect our identities and he admitted that he would have done the same too if he were in my shoes.


    Kayden sat down at the edge of the bed as my gaze was fixed on my fiddling fingers. I don¡¯t know what else to say to him. So I waited patiently for him to say whatever was on his mind.


    Kayden heaved a huge sign as he shifted closer. ¡°Forgive me, Avery.¡± His hand dropped on my fiddling fingers.


    I didn¡¯t look up at my mate as tears clouded my vision again. I have cried too much in the space of two days than I have ever done in my years back in life.


    ¡°Avery, I am sorry.¡± Kayden apologized as he covered his fingers with my own.


    The warmth of his tender touch spread into my fingers and beyond. Still I didn¡¯t say anything knowing that my mate must have so much to say to me.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t sit well with my wolf to have hurt you terribly.¡± Kayden said in a slight husky tone.


    ¡°Look at me and say something, Avery.¡± His voice pleaded with me. My mate waited for a response that never came from me. He lifted his free hand to my face, he stroke a finger tip along the line of my jaw and gently he tilted it so I could look straight into his eyes.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°Please find it in your heart to forgive me. I ept the fact that I am to be med for the fall apart between us. I am sorry.¡±


    I could see the sincerely in his eyes as they bore into mind. Do I have a choice? I can¡¯t reject him after all the pleadings from his family members. And I also don¡¯t want to hurt my wolf anymore. I want these pains toe to an end and I want us to be happy again. In a short time, I have realized that all rtionships can¡¯t be the same. Kayden and I just needs to understand each other better. And I hope we are able to trust and strengthen our mating bond. I still love my mate.


    ¡°I forgive you.¡± I muttered.


    A sigh of relief escaped from him and he leaned towards me.


    ¡°Thank you. I promise to never doubt you ever again. And I will never raise my hand to hit you.¡± Kayden said with his mouthing touching my mouth as he rested his forehead on mine.


    Well I hope he keeps to his promises because next time I may not be nice enough to forgive him. And I prayed such never happens again.


    ¡°But do me a favor, will you?¡± Kayden mumbled as his hand dropped to he side of my neck.


    ¡°What is it?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Please don¡¯t stop loving me and don¡¯t ever have the thoughts of rejecting me or me rejecting you.¡± His other hand was already around my waist after the bed cover dropped down.


    ¡°Alright.¡± I answered. I wanted more body contact even after he tugged me close so our bodies meet.


    There was no doubt that we both craved for each other. Our wolves desperately wanted to make a proper connection. If Kayden has no intention of kissing me even as our lips were just an inch apart, I made up my mind that I would make the move. But Kayden brushed his lips making me crave more and gently he had mey my back on the bed. I wanted more of him as we shared a passionate kiss.


    Kayden groaned in pleasure right after I let out a soft moan. ¡°Kayden-¡± I whispered when he put an end to the kiss to stare at me.


    My body was burning up so badly. My wolf didn¡¯t even help matters because it wanted a sexual contact with our mate as we sniffed our arousal in the air. His sweet scent mixed with his arousal too was making us crazy. Then I wrapped my arm around his neck as I deepened the kiss.

    Then I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.


    ¡°I love you, Avery.¡± Kayden professed amidst kisses. Passion and sexual tension red in our system and I also sensed my heated arousal in the air. But it was so different this time.


    Kayden must have smelled it too because he pulled back to look at me. ¡°What¡¯s going on with you? Your arousal smells different.¡± He sniffed the air.


    ¡°I think¡­ I think.. my wolf is trying to produce¨C¡±  I stopped and bit down on my lower lip.


    ¡°What?¡± Kayden asked with a confused look on his face.


    ¡°My wolf decides to be in heat.¡± I mumbled.


    Well my heat season camete than every other wolves who experienced their first heat at eighteen or neen. Well if I had experienced mine at these ages then I would gotten intimate with my mate a long time ago. But why did my wolf decided to produce heat at this time?  I wondered.


    ¡°We should stop before it bes something we can¡¯t control.¡± Kayden tried to lean up but I held him down to my body.


    No doubt I won¡¯t be able to survive the night with this heat with him right next to me.


    Kayden furrowed his eyebrows. ¡°There are medications to use to suppress it. You can take it till you are ready to get intimate with me.¡±


    My mate was still considerate about my decision.


    ¡°Fuck me.¡± I heard myself say with a serious look on my face. I was ready to have sex with my mate.


    Lust and desires filled his eyes at my words. I knew he was trying to hard to control himself. ¡°Avery, are you sure?¡± He demanded.


    ¡°I want you, Kayden.¡± I pulled him down again and crushed my mouth against his mouth.


    I parted my lips to grant him more space to devour my mouth. Kayden epted the invitation eagerly, dipping his tongue into my weing mouth to explored every part which he has always wanted to im.


    Kayden unhooked my bra while I fumbled with pulling off his top because of my right arm.


    ¡°Does it hurt so much?¡± He asked.


    ¡°A bit.. but I am fine.¡± I answered.


    Kayden helped me out and soon his clothes were flying in the air until they dropped to the ground.


    I ran my hand all over him, I explored and admired every defined muscles on his chest. We hadplete liberty and privacy to explore each other. He slide his hand slowly to my belly button while his tongue flicked my brown nipples until I let out a moan. His strong arms grabbed my hips as his mouth moved down to my core.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    He removed my pair of ckce panties. I held onto the sheet when he pressed kisses around my exposed thighs down to my center.


    ¡°Kayden¨C¡± Another moan escaped my throat when he sucked on my clit. My mate sucked me, tongue fucked me until I came.


    His mouth worked eagerly over every part of my body again. After another round of slow and passionate kiss, he pecked the skin on my throat to my breasts. He nibbled his way down from my ribs to my thighs trying to make my arousal hit harder again.


    I moaned breathlessly at the pleasurable feelings that stirred with me.


    After exploring every part of my body, a groan rumbled deep in his chest as he leaned up and positioned his cock to my center which was already a dripping mess.


    ¡°Are you ready?¡± Kayden asked searching through my face to be sure.


    I nodded. And I closed my eyes when he pushed himself gentle inside me but pulled out again. I groaned at the lost of contact. I reopened my eyes when the contact was totally gone.


    ¡°I am just trying to be careful so you won¡¯t¨C¡±


    ¡°I am fine.¡± I interrupted him.


    Kayden pecked my lips as he lowered himself slowly into me again as his cock tore away my virginity.


    I arched my back, closed my eyes and grabbed the sheet as pain ripped through me.


    Kayden imed my lips again to probably distract me from the pain. He thrusted in and out slowly until I could take his whole length. My nails wed his back as I urged him to increase the tempo of each thrust.


    *******************


    We didn¡¯t fall asleep but I was snuggled close to my mate with my head resting on his chest. I could hear his heart beat clearly in my ears. I choose to toy with the beads of tiny hair on his chest while he yed with my tender hair.


    Everywhere was silent as we let time pass by slowly with neither of us speaking a word. The passionate moment, my first sex with my mate reyed in my head. I didn¡¯t let the fact that I was inexperienced get to me. All I wanted to do was satisfy my mate. And giving up my virginity would tightened our bond and reassure my mate that I never cheated.


    Enough time passed until my mate disrupted the silence by clearing his throat.


    ¡°Are you asleep?¡± He whispered.


    ¡°No¡­ I am wide awake.¡± I muttered.


    Kayden paused for a few seconds as he tucked strands of air from my fave to the back of my ear.


    ¡°About your graduation, I can attend it right?¡± Kayden asked, sounding so unsure.


    I raised my head to look at him. ¡°Why are you asking?¡±


    Kayden hesitated for a moment before adjusting himself to sit up on the bed. ¡°Freddie.¡± He said.


    I heaved as sigh before raising myself to sit up on the bed too. ¡°I thought we already put things behind us.¡±


    Kayden nodded his head repeatedly. ¡°I know. I know you are ming me for his death. That¡¯s why I am concerned about my presence at your graduation.¡± Guilt shed in his eyes. ¡°How can I make it up to him knowing that he never did any wrong?¡± He asked.


    I reached for his right hand. ¡°Let us pay our respect to Freddie at his funeral.¡± I replied.


    ¡°I checked the newsst night. His mom is awake now and he must have been buried this morning as nned.¡± Kayden said with his head bowed.


    ¡°Like I said, we should pay ourst respect. Let us visit the cemetery where he isying in peace.¡± I suggested.


    He shook his head in agreement. ¡°I am sorry.¡± He apologized.


    ¡°I am heading back to school in two days time. I have to finish up my final year project. Will youe with me?¡± I asked in a low tone.


    ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll clear up my schedules and go with you. And I already have someone clean up your apartment. You damaged your phone that night so I got you a new one. It¡¯s in my office at the academy so you can have it tomorrow.¡± Finally my mate looked up at me.


    A small smile crept on my  face. ¡°Thank you.¡± I leaned in to kiss his lips quickly.


    Relief shed on his expression as I sat back on the bed. ¡°How sore are you?¡± His eyes drifted down to my naked chest region.


    ¡°Not too sore.. I think I am fine.¡± I answered.


    ¡°How about we¨C¡± He stopped talking to stare intently at me.


    I know what he wanted to say as desires filled his eyes again. Kayden¡¯s back was resting on the bed headboard. I removed the bed cover and straddled myself on him.


    ¡°I want it too.¡± I said.


    His lips curled into a natural smile. ¡°I want more of you.¡± His hands slipped down to my hips to hold me closer to him.


    I was aware of the manly bulge touching my naked core. ¡°I want all of you.¡± My arms went around his neck.


    His gaze locked with mine. ¡°We didn¡¯t use protection. Is that okay? Should we get pills when we get back to your apartment? Or I should get one from the infirmary?¡± His tongue licked my left nipples.


    ¡°Is that necessary?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I am just concerned about your studies.¡± He bit down on it gently causing me to moan softly.


    ¡°Or you don¡¯t want to be a father yet.¡± I teased him.


    Kayden stopped and pulled away to look at me. ¡°Have I been giving you such impression?¡± He asked.


    ¡°No.. No¡­¡±


    He interrupted me. ¡°All I ever wanted as a wolf is to find my mate and have plenty pups.¡± Kayden said with a serious look on my face.


    ¡°Just teasing you. How many pups do you want?¡± I giggled when he tickled my side.


    ¡°Five pups at least, the first should be a male pup then the rest can be females.¡± He answered.


    ¡°Not bad.¡± I shrugged.


    Kayden hands squeezed my boobs. ¡°We should start making pups now.¡± I said.


    ¡°What about school?¡± He asked looking into my eyes.


    ¡°I just just few weeks left. So no need to get pills or even use protection.¡± His arousal became stronger in the air.


    ¡°I want all of you.¡± He mumbled.


    ¡°I am all yours, Love.¡± I lowered my head to cover his lips with mine.


    His hand grabbed my ass to draw me closer as I rocked him. I rocked him gently as he kissed me and I felt his member hardened.


    Kayden shifted our weight and I pushed him back so he couldy on the bed.


    Kayden put both hands behind his head as he watched me grab his cock and stroke it gently. I haven¡¯t give a man a blow job but I could try it out with my mate after learning few tricks from my roommates and reading erotic books. I have always dreamt and imagined myself doing crazy things with my mate. The weirdest of them is having sex in the car.


    A groan reverberated deep in his chest as I licked his thick head. I like that he didn¡¯t underestimate me by asking if I could do it. I would be so embarrassed.


    I think I would do a better job because I was focused on satisfying my mate.


    And I did a good hand and blow job on my mate until he came so hard in my mouth.


    ¡°Fuck.. you are so tight.¡± Kayden muttered as I lowered myself slowly on his fully erected member.


    He reached for me, making me lean over his chest and he kissed me so hard on my lips.


    ¡°We should enjoy this ride.¡± I broke off the kiss, ced my hand on his chest and ride us both till climax.


    *******


    I stirred in my sleep when a finger tip trailed the bursted side of my lips. I peered my eyes opened to see a tear slide down my mate¡¯s cheeks.


    ¡°I am sorry.. Avery.¡± He mumbled.


    I was too sleepy to even think of asking what went wrong. But it got me to see him wipe his face and sniff.


    ¡°Kayden¡­¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°Hey¡­ sleep¡­ okay¡­¡± He covered me up properly.


    I felt his hand patting my back gently and I drifted off to sleep.

 EPISODE TWENTY EIGHT

    THEME: Lies


    BLACK MOON PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    I woke up feeling a slight ache in my body, especially between my thighs. I felt sore due to what happened and what I did with my matest night? My mate and I got intimate for the first time.  The thought of me got me really excited. And has I recalled the passionate moment with him, my wolf limped in happiness.


    I trailed my arms to the spot where I expected my mate to be but it was empty. The pillow was so soft that I drew it closer to my body to sniff the scent of my mate even without opening my eyes. I guess our disagreements has finallye to an end and we are back to being the good mates that we used to be.


    ¡°I love my mate so much.¡± I mumbled with excitement in my tone.


    But then my eyes red open after my mind drifted back tost night again to the moment when I heard my mate whisper words of apology to me. Tears. Yes, he had tears in his eyes but he had  managed to put me to sleep. I sat up abruptly tossing the pillow back to the usual spot. I began to wonder what could have gone wrong with him. Perhaps is he sorry for doubting me? Is he feeling bad for not trusting me when I tried to prove that I was loyal to him? Maybe. I have given myself to him, he took away my virginityst night which was enough reason to prove that I never cheated on him.


    Still, it didn¡¯t sit well with me that my mate felt sorry. I have forgiven him so he shouldn¡¯t feel bad anymore.


    I threw my leg over the edge of the bed and dragged myself out of it. I should find my mate and have a word with him. I rushed into the bathroom to have my bathe, had the quickest on record and then came out to wear a simple outfit of my mate¡¯s big polo on my bum short. I also recalled that he had gotten a new cellphone for me. So I have two purposes for visiting the warriors academy -have a conversation with my mate and get my new cellphone. I concluded as I motioned out of the room, raced down the stairs and out to the big living room.


    ¡°Avery,¡± I stopped on track when I heard a feminine voice call my name. I turned towards the direction and saw Luna Beatrice smiling at me.


    It was a bit hard to differentiate Luna Beatrice and Katherine¡¯s voice because they sound so muck alike. Plus they also have a striking resemnce except that Luna Beatrice has a tinted grey hair.


    ¡°Good morning, Luna.¡± I greeted.


    Luna Beatrice walked closer to me with the beam on her face bing brighter.


    ¡°How are you feeling?¡± She asked.


    ¡°I am fine.¡± I answered.


    ¡°I can see it. Your color looks brighter today and you seem excited.¡± Luna Beatrice reached out to hold my right hand.


    I wondered if my mate informed his family that we got intimatest night. ¡°Avery, thank you so much for giving my son another chance. I was afraid that you would really reject him and make a report about the abuse to your parents.¡± The smile on her face was now reced with a sober look.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I have forgiven Kayden and I just hope that we get along well like we used to do. Moreover, my wolf and I would be greatly affected if I reject our mate. And since Kayden is remorseful about what he did, then I see no reason to hold a grudge.¡± I replied.


    Luna Beatrice gave my hand a small squeeze. ¡°You truly deserve my son and to be the Luna of this pack because you have a good heart.¡±


    I let a small smile crawl on my face.  ¡°I should also thank you for treating me like your own daughter and for caring for me.¡±


    Luna Beatrice smiled. ¡°You deserve more than just my care, Avery.¡±


    I nodded my head as she let go of my right hand. ¡°So where are you going?¡± She asked.


    ¡°To the warriors academy.¡± I answered.


    ¡°I am sure Kayden is quite busy at the moment but should be done with his work in the next ten minutes. So you should eat before you go off to see him.¡± Luna Beatrice grabbed my hand and pulled me along before I could even protest.


    After having breakfast with Luna Beatrice, she released me to go to my mate. In excitement of seeing my mate, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me not really minding the few wolves who greeted me as they passed by. All I wanted was to see my mate and it was bing really hard for me to control my wolf from busting out into the open just to get to our mate faster than my physical legs could carry me.


    ¡°Rx girlie, we are almost there.¡± I mumbled as I ran pass the meeting house.


    I was certain that Kayden wasn¡¯t at the meeting anymore because a maid came around to inform the Luna that the big alpha wanted her to prepare his favorite meal. Alpha Scott would only have his meal once a meeting with all pack officials was over.


    ¡°And here we are wolfie!¡± I pulled to a stop when I heard the war songsings from the training ground.


    I let out a handful of breathe and also did the exhaling and inhaling process over and over again. I walked few steps closer until my eyes caught the warriors in a deep defensive training. My eyes scanned the whole area to find my mate but I couldn¡¯t pick up his scent which only means that he wasn¡¯t among these training warriors.


    I should check on him at the office as nned. I concluded that my mate must having a good rest or taking a break after the meeting. I motioned towards the academy building.


    ¡°Young Luna!¡± I heard a familiar voice call out to me.


    Well I didn¡¯t want anyone to see me but it seems like my mission to sneak in to see my mate won¡¯t work out. I stopped on track and turned around. Beta Ethan Paulo waved at me from where he stood with a spear in his right hand.


    I waved back at him and would have made attempt to keep on working but he said, ¡°Wait young luna-¡± then Beta Ethan Paulo started the wall towards me.


    A smile crossed his face when he got to where I stood. ¡°Hello.¡± He said.


    ¡°Hi Beta.¡± I greeted him with a happy smile on my face.


    ¡°Young Luna, how are you doing?¡± Beta Ethan Paulo asked.


    ¡°I am fine. How have you been too? Is training going fine?¡± I questioned as I pointed towards the direction of the warriors.


    ¡°I am doing okay. And training is going so well. These are the new warriors that we just recruited into the academy.¡± Beta Ethan Paulo stepped away to stand beside me.


    ¡°Some of these men are from neighboring packs that don¡¯t know much about tactics and they don¡¯t have amenities to train their warriors.¡± He added.


    ¡°That¡¯s nice. Although I didn¡¯t know other pack warriors can train in another pack.¡± I admitted.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Beta Ethan Paulo leaned closely to me. ¡°Only ck moon pack does this kind of thing. It¡¯s a rare chance.¡± He whispered.


    I shook my head in understanding. ¡°But won¡¯t they use the tactics against the pack someday?¡± I asked


    Beta Ethan Paulo chuckled. ¡°They won¡¯t dare try it with ck moon pack. The big alpha made these packs sign a contract and these men also took an oath. Believe me when I say that this pack is  the safest ce you can ever be.¡± He said with so much confidence in his tone.


    Ethan Paulo must be proud of being a native of the most powerful pack in the werewolf world. And to also be an official, the second inmand to the alpha.


    I fixed my eyes on the men, watching the new recruited warriors trying so hard to win against an opponent.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mean to prey into your personal affairs but Kayden told me everything that happened at your ce.¡± Beta Ethan Paulo said in a low tone.


    I looked up at after he switched side to stand in front of me, his back against the warriors and he blocked my vision of feeding my eyes. I expected it. Kayden would definitely open up to his best friend. But I hope it¡¯s just him and no one else.


    ¡°I was disappointed when he told me that he had hit you. I picked a fight with him the day he brought you to the pack. The alpha and Luna were so mad at him when he spilled everything. I am sorry about the death of your good friend. I tried to talk Kayden out of feeling insecure about Freddie but he never listens. And of course I don¡¯t me him because he has an alpha blood running in his veins which makes him egocentric. He must have hurt you badly but I hope that you find it in your heart to forgive him.¡± He ended his words with a sigh.


    ¡°I have forgiven him. And we are on good terms now.¡± I answered.


    ¡°I am d to hear that you have forgiven him.¡± Beta Ethan Paulo replied.


    ¡°Kayden is in the office right?¡± I asked. But got no response from him. It was as if Beta Ethan Paulo wasn¡¯t listening to me anymore.


    I followed his gaze, turning slightly and he was looking at the academy entrance. I looked back at him only to find a perturbed look on his expression.


    ¡°Beta-¡±


    ¡°Yes¡­ you were saying?¡± He jolted out of whatever he was thinking about.


    ¡°I.. I just asked if Kayden is in the office.¡± I replied.


    ¡°Oh Kayden.. the alpha.. I don¡¯t think he is at the office. He must be at.. the meeting with the¡­ big alpha.¡± Beta Ethan Paulo stammered which was so unusual of him.


    I was confused by his sudden swing in attitude. ¡°But the meeting ended¨C¡±


    He interrupted me. ¡°Young Luna, have you seen thetest dance of the she wolves?¡± He blurted out.


    I furrowed my eyebrows. ¡°I don¡¯t.. quite understand you.¡±


    He is trying to change the topic? But why is he acting so differently?


    ¡°I mean a new dance some she wolves have been practicing for the uing full wolf moon celebration.¡± Beta Ethan Paulo turned me back to face him when I tried to check the academy entrance.


    ¡°How about we talk about the uing full wolf moon celebration? Will you be around? When is your final exams and graduation?¡± Beta Ethan Paulo questioned frantically.


    This isn¡¯t the Ethan Paulo I know. What baffles me more is why is he trying to stop me from going into the academy by dying me with questions? I pondered deeply.

 EPISODE TWENTY NINE

    THEME: Deceit


    BLACK MOON PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    My wolf felt offended that the beta was trying to stop us from seeing our mate. Is this a joke or something? A frown formed on my face when my wolf sniffed the scent of our mate causing my head to snap towards the entrance of the academy. Kayden is around. He won¡¯t order his beta to restrict me froming into his office right? Never!


    I looked straight at the beta. ¡°Kayden is in there so why are you trying to stop me?¡± I folded my arms across my chest.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°No¡­ I am not trying to stop you. But I just feel Kayden should have a little rest since he just arrived from a long hours of meeting.¡± The beta replied trying to pick his words carefully but it still infuriated my wolf.


    I feigned my smile. ¡°I don¡¯t think it is up to you to decide anything. Don¡¯t worry, I understand that you care about the alpha¡¯s health but I am his mate.¡± I tried to be polite as possible.


    Beta Ethan grabbed my wrist when I was about leaving. ¡°I am sorry. But Avery, I don¡¯t think it is wise to go in and see him.¡±


    ¡°Let go of me.¡± I said with a serious look on my face. Something wasn¡¯t right. I wondered what Kayden might be up to this time.


    Beta Ethan Paulo hesitated. ¡°Let go of my wrist and it is an order.¡±  Imanded in the sternest tone I could muster.


    He let go of my wrist and I started off towards the entrance of the academy. My wolf was curious to find out the answers to some many questions in my head. Nothing is wrong again this time right? I stepped in, walked down the hallway, climbed up to the staircases with my heart beat elerating at each step I took towards Kayden¡¯s office.


    Everywhere was so silent. I heard nothing as I approached the entrance. I breathe out heavily when I got to the door and still heard nothing. Nothing is wrong. Kayden must be truly resting. I ced my hand on knob but soon withdrew backwards. Maybe Ethan was right, I should give him some time to have a good rest since he has been so busy in thest few weeks.


    I heaved a sigh,ing to a conclusion with my wolf that we would see our matester. I turned away, well would have left but I stopped on hearing a feminine voiceing from the office.


    ¡°What are we going to do?¡± My sensitive wolf ears perked as I recognized the voice that was already registered in my head. I could say that this voice has been living freely in head. This voice has managed to create fear in my system. I didn¡¯t know why my heart beat increased in two times rate. What is she doing with him? What is she talking about? I wondered.


    ¡°What are going to do about the baby?¡± She asked again.


    I furrowed my eyebrows at her words. What baby is she talking about? I moved back to the door to listen. It is not what I am thinking right?


    ¡°Corinna-¡± my mate just called her name.


    ¡°You won¡¯t deny your baby right? You won¡¯t.. abandon us.. right?¡± Corinna asked unsteadily.


    And it felt like my heart has just been plucked out from my chest and my kneels grew weak at the same time. Corinna, the she-wolf that has haunted me down in my dreams. She is carrying my mate¡¯s child? No, I must have heard the wrong words.


    ¡°We should be more concerned about my mate finding out about us and about the baby.¡± Kayden tried to speak in a low tone but I could hear every of his words with my active wolf hearing.


    My mouth dropped in shock and tears burned down my cheeks. I didn¡¯t hear the wrong words. I felt this sort of tightness in throat that travelled down to my chest knowing that my greatest fear was right in front of me ready to crumble my whole world.


    ¡°Avery must not find out about it.¡± Kayden added.


    ¡°Avery? I don¡¯t care about your mate. I just need you to take on the responsibility as the father of my child!¡± Corinna said in a slightly raised tone.


    The realization that my mate has been cheating all along broke mepletely again. Corinna was his childhood friend that turned his best friend. How on earth did I not notice that something might be really going on between them all along? How did the affair start? How long have they been seeing each other? I ced my hand on the knob to open the door to ask my mate the questions in my head but I couldn¡¯t open it as my hands were shaking terribly.


    ¡°I love Avery. I love my mate so much. She has never cheated on me like you imed, we had sexst night and she was a virgin. I took away my mate¡¯s innocence. I have just been feeling insecure unnecessarily and the fact that I used her of cheating, got mad, hurt someone even when I am cheating too makes me a terrible person. She has never.. done anything wrong to deserve getting hurt by her own mate. I am regretting what we have done.¡± Kayden said.


    ¡°What? You.. You are regretting that we had a good time all through these years?!¡± Corinna snapped at him.


    Years? Did she just say years? I dropped my hands from the door knob.


    ¡°Listen to me Corinna, we knew all along that we are both going to find our mates some day but I was lucky to find mine first and -¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care if you found your mate! All I want is you!¡± Corinna sounded so determined.


    ¡°You should have thought about your little Virgin Mary mate when you came begging me to satisfy you after she refused to sleep with you! And each time you came inside of me.. you never remembered your mate! You even confessed to loving me! So I am going to have this child!¡±


    I stepped backward and the door swung opened. Corinna stared into my eyes but she hissed and walked off. I looked into the office and my gaze met with my mate.


    ¡°Avery-¡± He was surprised to see me. I couldn¡¯t understand or exin how I was feeling at the moment. He left his desk toe to me but I turned away to leave.


    I came to a stop when I saw the beta. He wasn¡¯t surprised and I was sure he heard some of those words too.


    ¡°Luna-¡± I shook my head slowly after seeing the knowing look on his face. He knew about the affair. Perhaps this is why he didn¡¯t want me to see my mate.


    ¡°No.. no..¡± I let out a sob and took off at a close run.


    ¡°Avery! Avery! Avery!¡± I heard Kayden calling out to me but I didn¡¯t stop.


    The she wolf I have been seeing in my dream right from the beginning was Corinna, my mate best friend like he had introduced. Maybe it wasn¡¯t a dream after all but a vision to warn me about the future which is now.


    How did I never notice the red light? Maybe I did but never paid close attention. The day Kayden introduced Corinna to me, my wolf was against her. She didn¡¯t want to get close to Corinna. Even after spending two years with Kayden, getting to know Corinna along the line, my wolf would always be ufortable and somehow furious whenever she was around.


    I remember getting jealous a few times about my mate being too close with his best friend but I had to let things slide with a conclusion that they have known each other for a long time.


    I had thought Corinna shared the same rtionship which Beta Ethan shared with Kayden. But my analysis was totally wrong.


    The first dream I had about the she wolf was her killing me in the presence of my mate which had almost made me give myself to my mate. My mind reflected back in Kayden¡¯s responses. It was a nightmare, I had tried to calm myself down. I was terrified by it. I was troubled that my mate was seeing another wolf. Troubled that she would end my life just to be with my mate. That night I had so many questions bugging my mind and they resurfaced again.

 EPISODE THIRTY

    THEME: Secrets


    BLACK MOON PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    The first dream I had about the she wolf was her killing me in the presence of my mate which had almost made me give myself to my mate. My mind reflected back in Kayden¡¯s responses. It was a nightmare, I had tried to calm myself down. I was terrified by it. I was troubled that my mate was seeing another wolf. Troubled that she would end my life just to be with my mate. That night I had so many questions bugging my mind and they resurfaced again.


    ¡°Are you seeing another she-wolf?¡± Yes he has been seeing Corinna. I remember ming myself if perhaps it turns out that my mate was seeing another she wolf because I had refused toplete the mating bond. Having to share my mate with another she wolf was what I never prayed for in my life. Kayden had denied it.


    ¡°I think the alpha doesn¡¯t love his mate to start with and it¡¯s either his mate wasn¡¯t giving him what he wanted ¨C sex. I can¡¯t be sure. But why do I feel like this is about-¡± Kayden had paused definitely he was able to rte the story to what he has done.


    He denied it. He stated that it was wrong of me to feel insecure and not trust him. I wasn¡¯t happy using him of seeing other wolves because those ims had made him angry. I tried to sleep with him but he didn¡¯t agree saying that I wasn¡¯t ready. Even if I had given myself to him at that moment, it won¡¯t change the fact that he was cheating at that time.. and even now!


    I don¡¯t want to believe this is my fault! No, I won¡¯t take the me this time! I have done nothing wrong!


    These nightmares are bing so real. The she wolf had told me about her having a pub and truly she is now carrying my mate¡¯s child!


    I cried out as I ran back to the pack house feeling betrayed and disheartened. Just when I had hope that we were going to get back together as lovely mates and now this happened again! It is so frustrating! I can¡¯t take it anymore! I doubt if Kayden and I are really meant to be mates! But then again if I am his mate then Corinna is his mistress.


    What I don¡¯t understand is why he used me of cheating and got really mad at me when he was fucking doing the same!


    I opened the door, met Alpha Scott, Luna Beatrice and Katherine in the living room and their heads snapped to look at my way. Surprise looks grazed their faces as I stood rooted to the spot. I didn¡¯t expect that they would be here, my intention was to stay locked up in the room. It was toote to wipe my tears and pretend like nothing was wrong. They would never believe me.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    And before I knew it, Luna Beatrice was out of the couch to meet me. ¡°Avery, what¡¯s wrong?¡± She asked.


    I couldn¡¯t utter a word, all I did was just cry. It felt like my heart was going to burst. My wolf was heart broken that I could feel the pain in my whole system.


    ¡°Avery, please tell me what¡¯s wrong?¡± Luna Beatrice requested.


    She tried to hold my hand but I sidestepped her. Perhaps does his family know about it?


    ¡°Avery, please tell us what¡¯s going on?¡± Katherine demanded in a concerned tone.


    I swallowed hard and tried to speak. ¡°Kayden.. Kayden..¡± my voice trailed off as I bit on my lower lip.


    ¡°Did he hit you again?!¡± Alpha Scot snarled.


    All of a sudden I sensed his scent-Kayden was here behind me. ¡°Avery.¡± He called my name.


    ¡°What have you done to her again?!¡± Alpha Scott came closer and pointed at his son while Luna Beatrice reached out to hold me and I let her do it this time.


    She and Katherine pulled me aside so Alpha Scott could talk to his son.


    ¡°What have you done to her this time?!¡± Alpha Scott demanded.


    ¡°She found out.¡± He mumbled looking straight at his mom and sister.


    What does he mean? I heard Katherine utter a profanity. ¡°Damn it!¡± And it didn¡¯t take long for me to figure what was going on. They knew about the affair.


    ¡°She found out about what?¡± Alpha Scott asked.


    I let go of Luna Beatrice hand as I looked at her. ¡°Avery-¡±


    ¡°I cheated on her.¡± Kayden said.


    ¡°What?¡± Alpha Scott sounded surprised. ¡°You did what?¡± He asked again.


    ¡°I cheated on Avery with Corinna.. and now.. she is carrying my child.¡± Kayden confessed.


    My child. This means Kayden would ept the baby Corinna was carrying. His words broke my heart even more and I closed my eyes.


    ¡°You fool!¡± Alpha Scott snarled followed by a sound that made me reopen my eyes immediately.


    Kayden head was turned sideways. Alpha Scott pped his son. Luna Beatrice left me to meet her husband.


    ¡°Scott-¡±


    ¡°How long have you known about the affair?!¡± He grimaced in anger.


    ¡°Calm down, I can exin.¡± Luna Beatrice said.


    ¡°Calm down? Look at her!¡± He pointed at me. ¡°What exnation do you have to give to someone who was abused by her own mate and today she finds out that he is cheating and will have a child soon!¡± He snarled at his wife.


    ¡°It has been so long.. I didn¡¯t know-¡± Luna Beatrice paused. ¡°I thought they ended the rtionship when Avery came into the picture.¡± She stood in between her son and husband to stop whatever Alpha Scott might do to him. She would take the blow for her son but I doubt if Alpha Scott would be able to hit his old mate.


    ¡°We can talk things out.¡± Luna Beatrice said looking at me.


    ¡°What? This is the height of it all! You want to beg for forgiveness from her again? I felt ashamed when I heard that he hit her.. I have never done that to you!  So now you put yourself right in her position what would you do? This girl has never done anything wrong your son! She has loved him the way any woman would have loved him!¡± He pointed at Kayden who already stepped out behind his mother.


    But Luna Beatrice stood in front of him again. ¡°Even if you were in a rtionship with Corinna, you should have ended things the moment you found your mate!¡± He pointed at me this time. ¡°Corinna is pregnant! Which only means that you have been seeing her even after you found your mate!¡± Alpha Scott was furious. He would have pounced on his son if his wife wasn¡¯t standing in the gap between them.


    I didn¡¯t want to hear any words anymore as Luna Beatrice begged her husband and asked me for a chance to talk things out calmly. I never knew a day woulde that alpha Scott would support me. I thought he hated me and felt that I don¡¯t deserve his son.


    I turned away to walk to the bedroom. I could still hear the old couples arguing downstairs as I locked the door. Alpha Scott made reference to how I never wanted a mate, despite my reason for a good course which he never liked but he admitted that he was starting to regret the day he came to our pack to im me as his son¡¯s mate. Alpha Scott said that if he had known that things would turn out this way then he wouldn¡¯t have dared toe find me. He ended with the words that he would never plead on his son¡¯s behalf and it fine for me to make my decision even if I choose to reject my mate.


    I hated the argument that ensued between Alpha Scott and Luna Beatrice. This family was so peaceful, I have never seen the old couples exchange words but they did today. I felt guilty for the rift between them. You know all these things won¡¯t have happened if I wasn¡¯t mated to Kayden.


    Why didn¡¯t the moon goddess pair Corinna and Kayden together as mates? Maybe I won¡¯t have been in the picture. Maybe I won¡¯t have to go through all these pains.


    My mind drifted back tost night. I don¡¯t want to have any regrets but I recalled Kayden crying and apologizing to me. Perhaps is it for this reason? Was he apologizing in case I find out that he has been seeing another she wolf?


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to die.¡± I reyed Corinna¡¯s words in my head, how she was determined to have a baby for my mate, definitely she was ready for whatever is toe. She would have a child for my mate in-spite of the gossips that might stir up in the pack. She doesn¡¯t even care if I was in the picture.


    For Corinna to speak so boldly that she doesn¡¯t care if Kayden has a mate then it means that she must have something else in mind and she wouldn¡¯t stop at achieving it. I am the stumbling block between Corinna and Kayden so she would probably do anything to take me out of their lives.


    So instead of her to take my life, I would rather leave, go somewhere far where no one will ever find me. I¡¯ll be fine. Trust me, I¡¯ll be fine.

 EPISODE THIRTY-ONE

    THEME: Heat Medication


    BLACK MOON PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    HOURS LATER-NIGHT TIME


    I waited till everything died down before I decided to act on my escape n. Kayden hade knocking on the door, pleading with me to give him a chance to exin everything to me but I didn¡¯t answer him. I don¡¯t need any exnation from him. I don¡¯t care about him anymore. I have had too much of getting hurt by my mate. And I would never back down on the decision I have made in my mind.


    Slowly I opened the bedroom door but I heard a voice echoing in the silent hallway. It was Luna Beatrice voice.


    ¡°She won¡¯t reject me right?¡± I heard Kayden¡¯s voice.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. But you should prepare yourself. I think you should respect whatever decision she makes.¡± Luna Beatrice said.


    I closed the door back, locked it and looked around the room. It was best to leave and be away from everyone. I have just two weeks to write my final exams which I hope this doesn¡¯t affect my grades in anyway. I have to be strong and never give up. I havee too far to let myself lose everything I have worked for in the past five years.


    My eyes drifted to the window and I motioned towards it. Going out through the living room won¡¯t help my escape n. They might try to stop me from leaving most especially Kayden. I don¡¯t want to ever see his face again.


    I opened the window and climbed on it. I took onest look at the room before climbing over the edge and Inded on the ground gently. I reached for the short fence and lifted my weight over it andnded on a dark path. I made my way around until I got to the infirmary. I needed to get the medication that would help suppress my sexual urges whenever I am in heat. And that would really help me and it¡¯s the only thing I needed at the moment. I can do well on my own even without my family¡¯s support.


    The infirmary was so silent as a graveyard when I passed by it to the Theta home. And I was d no one was outside as I moved to the building.


    The theta is the leader of the medical infirmary within the pack. A doctor or surgeon in the human world. ck moon theta is a strong wolf. She has a vast knowledge in herbs and other medical resources that will help cure and heal others.


    Corinna is an iota at the pack infirmary. The Iotas are workers at the infirmary. They help the theta in treating wolves and some of them are students learning from the leader.


    I knocked on the door gently. ¡°Who is out there?¡± The voice didn¡¯te from behind the door but somewhere close. I stepped backward on the dark porch, nced sideways and I saw the theta¡¯s outstretched neck from the window.


    ¡°Who are you? The infirmary is close by.. try to see the iota at the reception desk.¡± The theta lives next to the infirmary in a small studio apartment.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    ¡°It¡¯s me, Avery.¡± I said.


    ¡°Oh! Young Luna.¡± Her outstretched neck disappeared and soon the door opened up. ¡°Are you alright, young Luna?¡± She opened the door wide and signaled to me to step into her apartment.


    ¡°I am doing fine.¡± I answered.


    The Theta doubted my response as her eyes studied me. Of course, I am not fine. I looked like a crumbled paper after crying for hours. I had even fallen asleep in the process only to wake up to the realization that I already lost my mate to another she wolf.


    ¡°I need your help, Theta Jane.¡± I said.


    Theta Jane raised her eyebrows. I am sure she would be surprised of me asking for her help. I have only had a chat with her once which was on the day Kayden took me on a tour around the pack. He brought me to the infirmary, introduced me to the theta and it was also the same day I met Corinna.


    ¡°How may I help you?¡± Theta Jane requested.


    For a second, I wondered if the news about the soon to be alpha cheating on his young Luna already spread around the pack. Gossips always seem to spread far and wide like a wild fire. The maids were in the kitchen when alpha Scott and Luna Beatrice had an argument so they must have heard everything.


    ¡°I need you to give me the heat medication. I experienced my first heat and got intimate with Kaydenst night so I¡¯ll be needing it to help me a tay focused at school.¡± I exined hoping she won¡¯t try to think about me escaping from the pack.


    ¡°Are you leaving?¡± Theta Jane asked.


    Have I made it so obvious that I was leaving the park finally?


    I feigned a smile on my face. ¡°I am leaving for school tomorrow. I won¡¯t be able to see Kayden since I have to study hard for my final exams.¡± I lied.


    Theta Jane nodded her head in understanding. ¡°Alright. Please hold on, I¡¯ll be right back. I have some pills in my cab.¡± She walked away.


    I hope she brings more than enough pills that would sustain me for a long time. I don¡¯t know what the future have in store for me but one thing was certain, I am not going to see any other man. I would focus on the betterment of my life and fulfill the dream I have in my mind since the inception.


    Theta Jane came back with a small container. ¡°I have just fifty pills in there.¡± She gave it to me.


    ¡°This shouldst me for a while.¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°Pardon?¡± Theta Jane asked.


    ¡°I mean.. thank you..¡± I added quickly.


    ¡°Alright.¡± She folded her arms.


    I turned away towards the door. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t leave just like that.¡± Theta Jane¡¯s voice stopped me on track. She caught me.


    ¡°I can tell that you are leaving the young alpha because he cheated. But I don¡¯t think you should give up on your mate.¡±


    I turned to look at her. ¡°Did you know about it too? I mean.. about the affair?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I have always known everything about Corinna. I raised her as my own child.¡± Theta Jane answered.


    Well it seemed like I and the alpha are the only ones who doesn¡¯t know about the affair.


    ¡°Corinna made a promise to stay away from Kayden when he found you. I suggested that she relocate to another pack with the hope that she might find her mate elsewhere but she declined. Well I thought they ended the rtionship a long time ago.¡± Theta Jane said.


    I nodded my head. She is just like the Luna.


    ¡°You can¡¯t let Corinna win over your mate. She got too greedy and doesn¡¯t want to let go of Kayden. She loves him too much.¡± Theta Jane added.


    ¡°If Corinna loves him then I think she deserves him and she would do a good job at being a Luna.¡± I replied.


    ¡°Young Luna-¡±


    ¡°Avery, that¡¯s my name.¡± I corrected her. ¡°You can ry my message to everyone. Help me thank the alpha and tell him to send some words to my pack about me not being ready to bond with my mate. To avoid any form of war, he doesn¡¯t have to mention it that my mate has been cheating on me. And for Kayden and Corinna, I wish them all the best in life.¡± I turned to leave before the theta could utter her next words of protest.


    I made my way towards the woods that only moonlight provided light in the other. I pulled off my top and short, tied it together and managed to hide the container in it so it won¡¯t fall off. And I attached it to my ankle ready to shape shift into my wolf form. It would help me get out of the pack quickly instead of passing the main entrance and get stopped by Kayden.


    No one and nothing is going to stop me from leaving. I know the route like the back of my palm but I also know that I might possibly cross another pack territory. It¡¯s better to get caught in another pack than being in this hell hole knowing another she wolf was carrying my mate¡¯s pup.


    I ran for a few hours until I reached a brook. I led my wolf towards it so we could have a drink. We did and I sensed that my wolf limbs were too weak so Iy us down by the brook and soon we drifted off to sleep.

 EPISODE THIRTY-TWO

    THEME: When we were young


    BLACK MOON PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    When we reopened our eyes, my wolf sniffed the air only to smell a familiar scent. I pushed her up quickly as her keen eyesight scanned the whole area but we spotted no one.


    Perhaps are we imagining our mate in our head again? No, I don¡¯t want to think about him and I am sure my wolf wants the same too. She howled painfully into the night clouds. A howl that signifies that she has been terribly hurt by her other part that was meant toplete us. We should be going so we can hit the highway before sunrise hopefully someone would stop and help us into town.


    My wolf heard a bustling sound nearby as we strolled down the silent path. My wolf didn¡¯t care to stop as she continued to whine. I tried to cheer her up to run but she seemed reluctant.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°Do you need rest again?¡± I asked.


    ¡°No, he is here.¡± My wolf howl into the skies pulling to a sudden stop.


    The familiar scent became strong in the air. We looked up and I saw him-our mate. His big frame overshadowed my wolf as he stared into our eyes. How did he find us? The theta must have informed him.


    ¡°Avery.¡± He called my name in my wolf¡¯s head but she blocked out whatever connection he was trying to make with her. Well I am d my wolf agreed with me this time.


    ¡°Give me a chance to exin things to you.¡± His voice came again. Kayden couldmunicate directly in our wolf forms because he is an alpha. And as an alpha, he has the ability to send a telepathic message to all the wolves in his pack. As the native of ck moon pack they are connected to him. And it was easy to do the same with me because I am his mate.


    My wolf stomped her four paws on the ground, telling him to get out of the way. But Kayden wasn¡¯t moved by her threat.


    ¡°I know I have failed you again but just this time¡­ one more time to exin things to you. Please.¡± His voice pleaded in my head and we tried to not let it bring down our resolve. This needs to end.


    My wolf howl again threatening him even more as she took few steps backward ready to fight our mate for blocking the pathway.


    ¡°I am not letting you go!¡± Kayden barked in our head and it infuriated my wolf even more.


    Her head snapped sideways and spotted a big tree nearby. And before I knew it, she opted for the next escape route. She climbed the tree. Kayden¡¯s wolf called at her but she didn¡¯t stop. She howl in return telling him to back off but he was right under her following closely as she moved from trees to trees. Climbing trees was one of the few escaping tricks my father had taught me when I was young. He recounted that the tree climbing had once helped him escape from a set of rogue. Not that he was scared of the rogues but he had injured his wolf while hunting so it won¡¯t be easy beating them down.


    My wolfnded on her fours from a tree and continued running. Kayden¡¯s wolf chased us for some time.


    ¡°Stop! It is a cliff!¡± Kayden screamed.


    My wolf was quick to stop herself at the edge. When she swirled around, Kayden was already in his human form.


    ¡°Avery-¡± my wolf howl at him again.¡±Please don¡¯t jump off the cliff.¡± He pleaded.


    Well I won¡¯t hesitate to jump off if it would help me be away from you.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk.. then you can leave afterwards.¡± Kayden said.


    My wolf whined asking for a permission to shape shift into my human form. And I agreed-let us hear what he has to say even though it¡¯s not going to change my decision.


    ¡°What do you have to say?¡± I asked after shifting back to my human form.


    I waited for him to say something but he didn¡¯t make an attempt to speak up. His eyes was ogling my naked body.


    ¡°Seems like you are not ready to-¡±


    ¡°Corinna-¡± he started off. ¡°Corinna experienced her first heat at the age of seventeen when we both went for an hunting game. We were both alone in the woods, I had no idea of how to help her or get back to the pack on time because we were so far away. It was so painful to watch her try to control her urge and her strong arousal distracted my wolf. Believe me¡­ I didn¡¯t know what to do when she begged me to relief her right there. We were so naive back then but we had our first sex and promised to keep it a secret from our parents. It was way too early for her to experience  her first heat but when we got back to the pack she was given the heat medication because she haven¡¯t found her mate.¡± He exined.


    ¡°Alright.. you helped your best friend.. you relieved her of heat. Fine, it was meant to be a one time thing right?¡± I asked as tear threatened to spill down from my cheeks any time soon.


    ¡°Yes it was meant to be just one. But we were single wolves so we did it again on my 18th birthday and decided to make it official. My mom caught us making out in my room once day and that¡¯s how she found out the truth. We couldn¡¯t deny it so I told her everything. I-¡±


    ¡°You fell in love with her right?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Yes I did. We both fell in love with each other and the rtionship continued until I found you. Trust me, I tried to break free but the feeling for Corinna was so strong and it made it hard for me to-¡±


    I interrupted him. ¡°Did you ever love me, Kayden?¡± I asked the question that has been on my mind.


    From the way he talked about Corinna, I could see the admiration in his eyes. I waited for his response.


    ¡°Avery-¡±


    ¡°I want the truth! Did you ever love, Kayden?!¡± I demanded.


    ¡°I am sorry, Avery.¡± He replied.


    I let out a loud sob. He never loved me.


    ¡°When I found you, I wasn¡¯t expecting it but I had to im you as my mate. It¡¯s the only reason stopping me from taking over the pack. My dad wanted me to find my mate before he hands over the pack to me.¡± He confessed.


    ¡°So you didn¡¯te find me because.. you wanted a mate.. but -¡± I stopped. ¡°But.. but.. you imed me because you want the pack.¡± I rephrased his words like it seemed in my head.


    ¡°That¡¯s it. But it changed, believe me.. Avery.. I grew to love you. I became fond of you and fell deeply in love with you.¡± Kayden rushed out his words.


    ¡°Liar! You never did love me! You didn¡¯t even respect the fact that I was around you! You slept with another wolf and dare to use me of cheating! Freddie died too because of your jealousy! Kayden, what have I done to deserve this treatment from you? I never asked for too much.. just few years to get a degree.. and we would be together! But you kept seeing Corinna under my nose!¡± I cried.


    ¡°I stopped. I mean we stopped seeing each other.¡± He said.


    ¡°So how did she end up getting pregnant?!¡± I snarled at him.


    An angry look grazed my expression. ¡°It just happened.. I can¡¯t exin it. But I wasn¡¯t under control at that time. I couldn¡¯t resist her.¡± He admitted.


    I nodded my head slowly. ¡°Alright. Corinna is going to have your child. I¡¯ll leave.. so you can be with her.¡± Those words broke my heart but I wiped my tears.


    ¡°Avery, please don¡¯t reject me.¡± Kayden¡¯s voice pleaded with me.


    ¡°What do you expect from me? That I forgive you? No, I will never forgive you.¡± I grimaced in anger.


    Kayden started towards me. ¡°Don¡¯te close to me!¡± I seethe my teeth but he didn¡¯t listen.


    I picked up a rock next to my leg. ¡°Don¡¯te closer! I hate you! I hate you!¡± I screamed and Kayden stopped walking.


    ¡°You are still my mate.. so I can¡¯t let you leave.¡± Kayden said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll only be your mate if I agree to be with you.¡± I replied.


    ¡°You made a promise to never reject me no matter what. Listen Avery, there is a way out. Corinna can have my child but you will remain my mate and I promise to never see her again.¡± He stated.


    ¡°To hell with promises! I reject you, Kayden Scott as my mate!¡± I blurted out.


    His eyes widened in shock. I am sure he didn¡¯t expect the rejection. I expected my wolf to be disconnected with his wolf but it was slow.


    ¡°How could you do this to me?!¡± Kayden snarled as he started towards me again.


    But out of annoyance I moved backward and haul the rock at him only to have myself falling off the cliff.


    ¡°No, Avery!¡± I heard him groan in pains as I couldn¡¯t stop myself from falling.


    This is the end right? Nothing is going to save my life. My body would get shattered by solid rocks and I would never be seen or heard by anyone.


    I closed my eyes losing myself to the fall. I rejected my mate. The pain in my heart was excruciating and all I remembered was the howl of a wolf into the dark clouds. My wolf and I would be gone forever.

 EPISODE THIRTY-THREE

    THEME: She is lucky


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    I felt a hand on my forehead, a gentle contact. It was so warm and gentle. I felt a sharp pain in my head until it circted through my whole system.


    Soon the touch that provided warmth andfort was gone. And it stated all over again-the excruciating pain which my wolf was trying to fight against but she failed. My whole body was on fire and every part of my body ached badly. I could feel the heat emanating from my wolf  to beat coldness, the soreness and burning and deep bone aches.


    Then my body started shaking. It was a convulsive shivering as my weak wolf was trying too hard and it was affecting my human body.


    ¡°Get the theta! She is convulsing again!¡± I heard an unfamiliar voice but it was soft and soothing in my ears.


    ¡°Please step aside and let me attend to her. Don¡¯t worry, she¡¯ll be fine.¡± A sweet melodious voice said  more politely.


    I couldn¡¯t open my eyes to see what¡¯s going at the moment and the voices in my head echoed like I was already losing my sense of hearing. Soon I felt something against my lips, it was a cold liquid and I choked on it but it managed to run down my throat.


    The shaking didn¡¯t stop. ¡°We need her mate. If only we could find him.¡± The melodiously voice said again.


    ¡°How the hell do you expect me to know her mate?! How do I find him?! What if she doesn¡¯t even have one?!¡± The masculine voice snarled.


    Mate? Where am I? Do I have a mate? A strong arms gathered me until my head was resting on a solid surface and I was being held tightly as if to keep me steady.


    ¡°Get the healer!¡± The masculine voice said in amanding tone.


    Footstep! Footsteps! More footsteps! The sounds was so strong in my head. I winced in pain still shaking for no reason I could exin.


    ¡°You¡¯ll be fine. Please try to fight death.. stay alive.¡± A voice whispered into my mind. It was as if someone was sending me a telepathic message.


    I tried to sniff the scent of the person holding me and it seemed to entice my nostrils. I snuggled closely though subconsciously and the shivering lessened.


    Slowly my body began to rx just by the scent andfort these arms were offering to my wolf and I. I kept hearingforting words until I felt my wolf¡¯s consciousness slipping away. No, I wanted to stay awake even though my eyes were too weary to be opened or my mouth to even speak.


    ¡°She¡¯ll be fine.¡± The voice whispered.


    Light graze on my forehead, the touch was gone and I couldn¡¯t fight tumbling back into thefort of sleep.


    *******


    Once again, I felt myself waking up. My vision was blurry and I couldn¡¯t make out anything. Darkness-that¡¯s what my eyes could picture in my head. I blinked, panic almost setting in when I found it hard to even move my hand.


    My eyes re opened, I panic even more because I don¡¯t know where I am or what had happened to me. For a minute, I tried to remember but I soon winced in pain at the slight ache in my head.


    I closed my eyes for a moment andy very still as I tried to remember again but the pain resurfaced again even harder this time. I was on a bed, I know because it was soft and warm. I reopened my eyes to focus but nothing came to my mind.


    ¡°Are you awake?¡± A deep baritone asked.


    Slowly I turned my head towards the voice. I looked beyond and my breath caught at the figure I saw there. A stranger because I couldn¡¯t remember ever seeing him. He sat on a single couch about two feet away from the bed with his legs crossed and his eyes bored into mine.


    ¡°Who.. who are you?¡± I asked unsteadily.


    ¡°You are awake.¡± He said softly.


    ¡°Where.. am.. I?¡± I mumbled.


    He stood up from the couch. I heard a click sound and the lights came on and the room shined brightly. I closed my eyes immediately due to the brightness.


    ¡°Sorry about that but you can open your eyes and let it adjust to the brightness.¡± He said.


    I opened my eyes and my breathe caught again seeing him closer to the bed. I noticed white walls. This man was the definition of good looks. A side parted ck hair, slender eyebrows, shiny green eyes, pointed nose and thin lips. He has a well built physique that would fit into any corporate outfit. His rock hard muscles showed that he must be a well trained warrior wolf.


    A wolf? I furrowed my eyebrows as my eyes took in his features. ¡°Who are you? And where am I? Where is this ce?¡± I questioned frantically with my eyes scanning the room.


    ¡°You are at an infirmary in Dark Wood Pack.¡± The stranger answered.


    My head turned towards the beeping sound and I saw a machine with some lines of different colors on it. A tall steel stand was next to the bed and a drip bag attached to it. I lifted my hand to see something connected to my skin and a ster on it. I groaned at the sharp movement. ¡°It is better you stay still.¡± He cautioned.


    ¡°How can I stay still when.. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on?¡± I muttered.


    He stretched out one of his hand to touch my forehead. ¡°I¡¯ll get the doctor.¡± And before I could call out to him, he was long gone.


    He didn¡¯t tell me about himself. All I could see was the sorrows in his eyes. The door opened again and a woman onp coat came to the bed.


    ¡°How do you feel?¡± A smile of relief disyed on her face.


    ¡°I can¡¯t.. say.. no-¡± I paused. The doctor waited for my response. ¡°Pain¡­ numbness¡­ that¡¯s how I feel.¡± I replied.


    ¡°I¡¯ll run a quick check on your vitals.¡± The female doctor bend over to check me.


    ¡°How is she?¡± The stranger asked after some seconds of total silence.


    ¡°She¡¯s lucky. Her pulse is strong, a bit fast and she seems to be breathing well.¡± The doctor ced a hand on my forehead. ¡°Her temperature is normal and her color is better now.¡± She answered.


    ¡°Good.¡± He murmured.


    ¡°Miss, can you see us properly?¡± The female doctor asked putting a finger up.


    ¡°One finger.¡± I answered.


    The doctor went on to raise more of her fingers until she got to ten fingers and I got all the addition and subtraction tests too.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°She is doing good.¡± The female doctor said with a bright smile on her face.

    THEME: Her savior


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    I looked at the man when I heard him heave a sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯m d she is fine. Doctor Jenny, is it okay if I question her now?¡± The strange man asked.


    The doctor turned her attention away from me towards the man. ¡°Sure. It¡¯s okay.¡± She answered.


    ¡°Alright. Thank you.¡± He mumbled.


    The doctor bowed slightly before exiting the room. My nostrils caught a familiar scent and I stared at the man who folded his arms over his chest just simply staring at me. It can¡¯t be. It can¡¯t be right? It can¡¯t be what I am thinking. Dark wood pack? I am stuck in a ce I don¡¯t know.


    ¡°Do you have anything to say to me before I start my questioning?¡± He demanded in a stern tone.


    ¡°Who.. are.. you?¡± I asked not breaking our eye contact. I wanted to know this man just to confirm what my wolf just told me.


    ¡°I guess you don¡¯t have much to say to me.¡± His hands dropped to his side and he walked to the window. He pulled the curtains revealing the dark clouds. ¡°I am alpha Riley of Dark Wood Pack.¡± He spoke up after some moment of  silence.


    This man is an alpha! A confirmation of what my wolf had whispered to me. I had sniffed his scent and the smell of his blood was so strong in my nostrils. The way he spoke to the nurse, how she had been polite and the final bow says it all. His big frame, the aura of authority that hovered around him. His domineering attitude could be seen from the way he was standing, his graceful strides as he walked back to the bed. These are the traits of an egocentric alpha. And this man was a perfect definitely of it.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± He asked.


    ¡°My name is¨C¡± I stopped to think but nothing urred to me.


    Alpha Riley waited for my response. ¡°Your name is?¡± He said for me to fill in my name.


    ¡°I don¡¯t.. know.. my.. name.¡± I replied.


    Alpha Riley raised his eyebrows. ¡°You crossed my territory. You are a native of which pack?¡± He asked.


    I tried to think again but my head was as nk as a piece of white paper.


    ¡°I.. am.. am.. a native of¨C¡± I paused my lips. I was confused. I had no idea of the answers to the questions he was asking me.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± I mumbled.


    I noticed the angry look that crossed his face. ¡°Are you trying to make a fool out of me?!¡± He demanded.


    ¡°No.. no.. I¨C¡±


    Alpha Riley bend over with his hands at the edge of the bed. ¡°I know you are a wolf. And you must know it is against the rules to cross a pack territory illegally.¡± He grimaced.


    Yes, I know the rules at least. It is wrong to cross a pack¡¯s territory illegally. For a split second, it looked like I was about to remember something but it faded too quickly. I closed my eyes at the pain I felt for trying to force myself to remember it.


    ¡°I will ask you onest time. What¡¯s your name?¡± Alpha Riley asked again.


    I didn¡¯t want to open my eyes so I wouldn¡¯t see the anger in his expression. How did I get to this pack? I wondered.


    ¡°Tell me the name of the alpha of your pack so he can take on the responsibility. Mate. Do you have one? If you do then try connecting to him.¡± Alpha Riley said in a low tone but the annoyance was still there.


    Mate? Do I have one? I doubt it. My inside seems void and nk with no strong connections except for the one I share with my wolf. There was no answers to these questions too in my head.


    ¡°How did you find me?¡± I reopened my eyes slowly. I think this question would help me solve the puzzle.


    His face was close to mine as he looked straight into my eyes. ¡°You don¡¯t know that too?¡±  Alpha Riley scrunched up his face.


    ¡°I can¡¯t remember anything. I don¡¯t know why my head is so nk.¡± I replied.


    Alpha Riley leaned up and ran his hand through his hair. ¡°Damn it.¡± He uttered a profanity. He must be feeling frustrated too.


    ¡°I am not a rogue.¡± I said.


    Alpha Riley shook his head. ¡°I know a rogue when I see one.¡±


    ¡°So tell me how I ended up in your pack.¡± I requested.


    Alpha Riley searched my face to see if I was being honest or trying to trick him. Well I don¡¯t me him. As an alpha,  the packes first and it is his responsibilities to look after his pack. He has to be careful and cautious of intruders that can wreck havoc or cause any form of trouble to his pack.


    ¡°I went swimming in thergest body of water in this pack. And all of a sudden I heard a ssh in the water. I smelled a wolf scent around so I searched a part of the area where it sounded but I couldn¡¯t find you. I would have ignored it but it was hard. I came back to the pack to get the best divers and they all went underwater and they found your body after some hours. You looked pretty awful when I brought you to the pack.¡± Alpha Riley stopped.


    ¡°How did you end up in the water?¡± He asked.


    I was surprised by the revtion of how I got to this pack. ¡°I have no idea.¡± I answered.


    ¡°There is a cliff far ahead but no one has ever reached that area because it¡¯s impossible to climb that height even as wolf.¡± Alpha Riley added.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I can¡¯t tell you how I ended up in the water.¡± Tears clouded my vision as I couldn¡¯t even dare try to remember anything because of the pain.


    ¡°Have you lost your memory due to the fall?¡± Alpha Riley asked with concern in his tone.


    Lost my memory? I hope that¡¯s not the case. No! I can¡¯t lose my memory! I have to know who I am. I don¡¯t want to stay in the dark. I don¡¯t want to ever be stuck enduring this pain as I try to remember something about my life.


    ¡°What do I do?¡± I heard myself say in a tight whisper. ¡°There must be a solution. I can¡¯t lose my memories. No.. this can¡¯t be happening to me.¡± I cried out.


    ¡°Hey.. rx.¡± Alpha Riley reached for my wrist and locked our hands.


    One would doubt if he was the same angry man who wanted to know why I had crossed his territory.


    ¡°How can I rx? I don¡¯t even know my name.¡± I couldn¡¯t control my tears.


    ¡°It could be that you were hunting and didn¡¯t know about the edge of the cliff.¡± Alpha Riley said in a calm tone.


    ¡°What do I do?¡± I sobbed.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll work on finding your pack. I¡¯ll send out my men to do a background check. Don¡¯t worry you¡¯ll be fine.¡± Alpha Riley reassured me until I calm down.


    ¡°You should get some rest.¡± Alpha Riley removed strands of hair from my face as he also wipe my tears. This man right her saved my life. If he wasn¡¯t by the water at that time I would have died.


    ¡°I¡¯ll talk to doctor Jenny.¡± He said.


    And very slowly I fell asleep while he was trying tofort me. My wolf seemed broken but she embraced whateverfort this total stranger was offering to me.

 EPISODE THIRTY FIVE

    THEME: Water


    DARK WOOD PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    It has been about three days since I woke up at the infirmary only to find out that I don¡¯t have an idea about my identity aside the fact that I am a werewolf.


    I have been checked by the doctor and diagnosis stated that I might possibly be suffering from amnesia and I may never be able to regain my memory. The chance of remembering my past was so slim and I shouldn¡¯t try force it or else I will suffer great pain.


    Doctor Jenny words confirmed that I was indeed stuck in this unknown pack. I was now a new creature or a being. I couldn¡¯t stop wondering if I had a past that I was trying to run away from or secrets I would truly want to erase from my memory.


    I couldn¡¯t stop crying at the realization of it. But when there was no tears left to cry, I decided to ept my fate. Nothing would probably change the fact that I had lost my memory. And nobody has been able toe around to im me as a native of a pack.


    This made the good alpha decide to take me under his wings. I had no where to go so I didn¡¯t have a choice than to ept the offer to live with Alpha Riley. He made me promise him that I would do a great job at getting better.


    Although something was strange about alpha Riley. He reside in small cottage somewhere far from his pack, all alone. We haven¡¯t had much time to talk because he is always locked up in his office while Iy in bed all day until hees around to check on me close to dinner time..


    I have no information about him. I know nothing about him. But mere looking at Alpha Riley, you can tell that he is a sad and dejected werewolf. The harshness in his re as he speaks and stare always cut deep into my soul and it kind of scares my wolf. I knew I was a lost wolf found by a dangerous looking alpha.


    Anyone barelyes to his house aside doctor Jenny to run a quick check up on me and then an aged werewolf who gives reports to the alpha.


    The truth is Alpha Riley run the affairs of the pack right in this cottage. Dark Wood Pack was a small pack but it seemed powerful and unique in its own way. I know this little from hearing the alpha and the aged werewolf talking about the slight increase in the pack¡¯s popce yesterday evening.


    The door swung open revealing the alpha at the entrance. He was dressed in a ck polo and khaki trouser. It is time to take me to the kitchen for dinner.


    ¡°Good evening, alpha Riley.¡± I greeted him as I dropped the book I was reading on the bed.


    I can walk but the alpha chooses to carry me around and a maid has been assigned to help me bathe daily. Shees around 6:00 a. m and leaves by 9:00 a. m after preparing breakfast and making sure that I take my medication.


    ¡°Good evening water.¡± Alpha Riley walked to the bed.


    Water? Well he calls me water because I don¡¯t know my name and I was found in the water.


    ¡°How do you feel?¡± Alpha Riley bend over to touch my forehead just to feel my temperature but I dodged him.


    ¡°I am fine. Thank you.¡± I answered.


    Can he stop showing too much care when I know he could switch up on me anytime?


    Alpha Riley withdrew his hand. ¡°Good. Dinner is ready.¡± He said.


    I shook my head in understanding. ¡°Please can I try walking myself today?¡± I looked up to meet his gaze.


    Alpha Riley expression hardened. ¡°No.¡± He replied. He reached down, gathered me in his arms and then he carried me in a bridal style.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°You know.. I didn¡¯t lose my legs in the water.¡± I said in a tight whisper.


    ¡°You should stay still and don¡¯t try anything stupid.¡± Alpha Riley replied.


    I swallowed hard. ¡°Doctor Jenny advice that I can try out so many things now.¡± I reminded him.


    Alpha Riley didn¡¯t say anything as we entered into the kitchen. ¡°You¡¯ll only do as I say until you get better.¡± He stated in amanding tone as he dropped me gently on the stool close to the ind.


    I bit the inside of my cheeks as I nodded my head in understanding. I don¡¯t want to experience his wrath. The alpha would be really furious if I disobey him and I don¡¯t want him throwing me out of the pack. I could feel his eyes on me as I sat there fiddling my fingers.


    ¡°Listen, I am not trying to control you. I am just worried about you getting hurt again. So give yourself some time to healpletely.¡± Alpha Riley pushed a te of food to me.


    I didn¡¯t utter a word. I took the spoon and scooped food into my mouth. We ate in silence until I announced that I was full. Alpha Riley picked the tes and took them to the sink to wash them.


    But after some minutester, I noticed the way the alpha took several deep breathes, the way he flexed his arms and the movement made it stretch the fabrics of the polo, the way he dropped his hands, turned off the tap and pressed both hands on the edge of the sink.


    He lowered his head and my wolf sensed his pain. ¡°Are you alright, Alpha Riley?¡± I asked but got no response.


    I knew something was wrong. Alpha Riley was bothered about something I can¡¯t tell and he probably can¡¯t say it.


    ¡°You.. can tell me about it.¡± I said loud enough for him to hear me.


    I wanted to try my luck to get him to talk to me. ¡°You may not see me as someone who you can confide in but.. it is always better to share your disturbing thoughts with someone.¡± I rubbed my palms together. Well I hope he opens up to me. I really want to get to know him.


    ¡°Perhaps is this about me? I know it is tiring to watch over me.¡±  I mumbled.


    Alpha Riley turned to look at me. The look on his face says what-the-hell-are-you-talking-about. Maybe this doesn¡¯t concern me.


    ¡°Thank you for saving my life and for taking me in.¡± This is the first time I am expressing my gratitude to him.


    The alpha just stood there watching me. I looked away from him.  ¡°Is there a way I can repay you for saving my life?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Well I doubt it if I¡¯ll ever be able to repay you.¡± I added quickly when no response came from him.


    Alpha Riley sat on the stool facing me directly. ¡°Are you sure that you want to repay me?¡±


    I shook my head. ¡°I don¡¯t have any money. But when I get better I can serve the pack.¡± I replied.


    ¡°Alright but that¡¯s aside. I¡¯ll tell you a brief story about myself. And I¡¯ll also state what I want from you. Remember that you can¡¯t back down on your words.¡± Alpha Riley pointed a finger at me with a stern look on his face.


    ¡°Okay.¡± I mumbled.


    Alpha Riley leaned back and folded his arms over his chest. ¡°I am a thirty seven years old wolf. I have lived my life without regrets but everything changed when someone very important in my life died.¡± He narrated.


    ¡°Who died?¡± I asked knowing that it could be any female or male in his life.


    His hands dropped and he leaned his elbows on the ind. ¡°My mate.¡± Alpha Riley answered.

    THEME: Alpha Riley


    DARK WOOD PACK


    (Avery¡¯s Point of View)


    Alpha Riley sped his hands together. ¡°She died. My mate drowned herself in the same body of water where I found you.¡± He said.


    He wasing around and it made me happy that he was telling me things about himself. ¡°She couldn¡¯t swim?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Leah, that¡¯s her name. She didn¡¯t train her wolf to stay in water so she couldn¡¯t swim.¡± Alpha Riley replied.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    A pitiful look crossed my face. ¡°But why did she drown herself?¡± I requested.


    Alpha Riley¡¯s head dropped down as he clenched his fists. ¡°She cheated.¡± He said finally after waiting for a while.


    ¡°Oh.¡± I mouthed.


    ¡°I found out that she was cheating on me with my beta and she was also carrying his child.¡± He looked straight into my eyes.


    ¡°I thought the child was mine. The happiness I felt finding out that I would be a father but then I realized that the child isn¡¯t mine.¡± Alpha Riley held the edge of the ind and looked at me for a long time.


    ¡°I am-¡±


    Alpha Riley stood up quickly cutting off my intended words. ¡°No, don¡¯t say anything. I shouldn¡¯t be telling you this.¡± He turned away and walked out of the kitchen.


    I furrowed my eyebrows. What just happened? Okay, I get the story that his mate cheated on him with the beta of this pack. That¡¯s terrible. And to even find out that the child he assumed to be for him turned out to be the beta¡¯s child. Why did he stop talking? Is it a top secret in this pack? I pondered.


    I didn¡¯t want the conversation toe to an end but who am I to say otherwise? I guess he forgot that he doesn¡¯t want me to walk. What should I do? Go back to the bedroom myself or wait for him toe pick me up again? That might take sometime so I picked the former option.


    I tried to stand up and head to the bedroom but a blur image of a man shed my mind causing me to wince in pain. The moment I tried to push further, my knees gave out. I let out a whimper as I reached for the table for support as I was almost falling but a strong arms grabbed my waist to steady me. Dizziness had made me miss my target and if I wasn¡¯t caught by the strong arms I would have fallen off and hit my head hard on the ground.


    ¡°I told you to take things easy! Don¡¯t you listen to simple instructions!¡± Alpha Riley snapped at me in a raised tone.


    ¡°I.. I..¡± My voice trailed off.


    Alpha Riley¡¯s breathe fanned my skin. ¡°You should.. take things easy.¡± He whispered.


    ¡°You left.. I didn¡¯t know what to do.¡± I was feeling so weak.


    ¡°I am sorry¡­¡± I heard him apologize into my ears.


    What? Did he just apologize to me?


    Alpha Riley let me get my bnce but his hands were still iming my waist. ¡°For leaving and snapping at you.¡± Hepleted his sentence.


    My ass was poking directly at his manly bulge. I didn¡¯t mind anything else at that moment. I just needed all the support I could get from this man. My wolf wanted to move far away but I can¡¯t survive without the alpha at the moment. I have no pack. I have no memory of where I belong. If I run into the wild, I might get captured by rogues and forced to be one of them.  But this man behind me has everything I need to protect myself.


    ¡°My legs are weak.¡± I muttered.


    ¡°Here lean on me. I¡¯ll help you into the bedroom.¡± Alpha Riley replied.


    He had his arms around me until he carried me up and back into the bathroom. I buried my face in his solid chest just to sniff his scent. Alpha Riley smelled so good.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± I said as hey me gently on the bed. I sighed in relief.


    I don¡¯t expect that alpha Riley could be this nice. He is confusing me. One moment he is gentle and warm. Another minute he switches up to being cold, harsh and mean. But one thing was certain now, the alpha is sweet and kind.  He has a good heart but his past must have reshaped him to be who he is now-cold and mean.


    I wasn¡¯t sleepy but I closed my eyes with a n to open them once he leaves.


    ¡°I killed my beta who also happened to be my step brother.¡±  His words made my eyes re open immediately.


    I am sure alpha Riley is not the type to tell people about things that concerns him.


    ¡°I was angry. I felt betrayed. My mate didn¡¯t wait for me toe for her. So she went straight to the body of water and drowned herself in it.¡± Alpha Riley narrated.


    ¡°She must have been scared of what you would do to her when she found out about what you did to the beta.¡± I couldn¡¯t hold back the automatic sympathy at what he had lost.


    ¡°I had no ns of hurting them. I would have forgiven them even though it hurts my wolf so badly. But I killed the Beta because he has ns to rebel against me. My own step brother insisted on taking my mate out of the pack to somewhere far away where I would never find her. It was hard to believe that they would do such a thing to me. They were my most trusted wolves in the pack.¡± Alpha Riley ran his hand through his hair.


    ¡°I am sorry about the loss of your mate. But how long were you married as mates? And didn¡¯t your beta had a mate?¡± I questioned.


    ¡°Three years¡­ we got married when I was twenty three. And my beta didn¡¯t have a mate.¡± Alpha Riley responded.


    I screwed up my face. ¡°So you have been without a mate for close to two decades?¡± I was surprised.


    Alpha Riley shook his head in agreement. Well I thought every wolf that loses a mate and is willing to stay strong and alive has a second chance mate so howe he never found one? I mused.


    ¡°You want to repay me for saving your life right?¡± He asked.


    And I nodded my head in response. The alpha sat at the edge of the bed and he moved closer to me.


    ¡°I have a two percent chance of finding my second chance mate. I don¡¯t want another mate but I need to produce an heir that would take over my pack when I am gone. So do you think you can birth me one?¡± He stated.


    My eyes widened in shock at his request. The alpha was damn straight forward on stating his demands.


    ¡°I want you to have my pup. The terms are simple, we don¡¯t have to fall in love with each other. You¡¯ll have the pup and then leave after a year. I¡¯ll give you everything that you want. I¡¯ll protect you from anything and give you a good life somewhere away from this pack.¡± Alpha Riley said in a low tone with a serious look on his face.


    I was dumbfounded. I didn¡¯t expect him to ask for something like this in exchange of saving my life. He can get someone from his pack to bear him a child right?


    ¡°I don¡¯t want anyone from my pack. I was considering surrogacy somewhere far from here but it won¡¯t easy.¡± Alpha Riley countered as if he had read my mind.


    ¡°You want a heir? But what if I ept to have your pup and it turns out to be a she-wolf?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind the gender. I just want a pup that will take over this pack and carry on my name.¡± Alpha Riley replied.


    This is going to be hard. I have think about it deeply. But will he throw me out of the pack if I turn him down?


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to give me a response now. So take your time to think about it. But remember that I don¡¯t like waiting for too long.¡± Alpha Riley stood up.


    ¡°Sleep well, water.¡± He covered me up with the bed cover and switched on the bed sidemp.


    ¡°How about you give me a new name?¡± I suggested.


    Alpha Riley stopped walking. ¡°Fine, I was waiting for you to bring it up.¡± He turned to look at me.


    ¡°I want a name. It seems that water brings up bad memories in your head.¡± I said.


    ¡°Edda. It is my mother¡¯s name.¡± Alpha Riley said.


    The light in the room went off with the bed sidemp providing a dim brightness in the small area where it was.


    ¡°Edda.¡± I repeated.


    ¡°That would be your new name.¡± Alpha Riley replied before he exited the room.


    Edda, that¡¯s not bad. But what do I do about his demand to bear him a pup? I thought.

 EPISODE THIRTY SEVEN

    THEME: Her Fantasy


    DARK WOOD PACK


    ONE WEEK LATER


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    The passed days has been filled with me doing cleanings and preparing meals for the alpha. I am doing okay as a fully charged werewolf. I would run around the area in my wolf form whenever I didn¡¯t have much things to do.


    Alpha Riley was happy about my improvement. Doctor Jenny doesn¡¯t need toe around to check on my health anymore. And I also don¡¯t need a maid to take care of me.


    Still no one hase to im me. Alpha Riley and I assumed that I don¡¯t have a mate that could reach out to me because there was no mating mark on my neck or my wolf yearning for a connection.


    It could be that I haven¡¯t found my mate before I lost my memory. But I was certain that I wasn¡¯t an underage wolf. And the alpha also confirmed it too when we both went hunting in the woods around his home. My wolf looked matured.


    I was home alone today because the alpha decided to visit the pack area to have a meeting with some officials. I heaved a sigh of relief as I stopped on track in front of the cottage. I felt a liquid drop in my panties and then my stomach clenched in pain. My cycle was here? No, it can¡¯t be because it ended two days ago. I went inside and headed straight to the bathroom.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± I grabbed the edges of the sink when another wave of pain hit me. Quickly I pulled off all my clothes. There was blood stain in my panties but the cycle I ended didn¡¯t flow fully but was just spotting. So why am I spotting all over again? I wondered.


    And soon I sniffed my arousal in the air. I nced down in between my thighs. A swollen vulva and vaginal bleeding, my wolf decided to be in heat.


    ¡°Damn it! Why now? What do I do?¡± I clenched my thighs together. Different emotions reeled through me as my wolf experienced a change in behavior.


    ¡°What.. do.. I.. do?¡± Panics filled me as my arousal became stronger in the air. I felt reverberated pain shoot through me and the only option I had was to help myself before I end up copsing for trying to hold the urge in.


    I stepped into the tub just as I turned the shower on. I sat in it and let the water sprinkle on my core as I let it wash the blood away.


    I was bing too horny than I could control and the smell of my arousal didn¡¯t help my matter. I was an helpless she wolf in heat. I have no idea if I had experienced it before or if I have even gotten intimate with any male wolf in my life.


    Tears streamed down my cheeks as my body was in severe mes of heat. I did what could help relief the tension slightly. My hand brushed some certain areas of my body that needed a male wolf attention and touch. Without  knowing what I should do exactly, I got distracted from thinking and my mind wondered into fantasy.


    One of my fingers rubbed my clitoris, I tried to stop myself but my sexually frustrated wolf was now in control. I have a strong will of stopping my wolf from trying to satisfy me but if I don¡¯t try to relief myself soon, I would lose my mind.


    The thought of Alpha Riley shed my mind again. He is the only one that can satisfy me. To be honest, my attraction to the alpha of dark wood pack was going to result into something dangerous. So I kicked against fantasizing about him.


    I sat properly in the tub and rested my arm on the side of the tub. I licked my thumb and dropped it on my clit. I closed my eyes as my head fell back with a noiseless breathe massaging it slowly. The water from the shower came down aggressively on my body as the tension built within me. Satisfying myself helped a bit to lessen the heat. The streams of water dropped onto my clit as I pressed one finger into my core. I was dripping wet already as I thrusted into myself with another hand rubbing my clit.


    This is torture. I thought as tears streamed down my cheeks. My chest rising and falling as the image of alpha Riley shed my mind again. I imagined him satisfying me.


    ¡°Riley¡­¡± I heard myself mumbling unconsciously as my hand worked deeper into my core. I felt like I was on the verge. I moaned as the heat in me became stronger. The pressure of the heat was circting around my body.


    All of a sudden, the door swung open which caused me to open my eyes. Alpha Riley was there at the entrance. A shocking look disyed on his expression followed by a lustful desires in his eyes. I am sure he never imagined that he could catch me in such act.


    I didn¡¯t care that he was there watching me because I couldn¡¯t bring my hand to stop satisfying me. I threw my head back, moaned again as I reached a quick orgasm. I breathed out with my eyes close.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°Edda..¡± he mumbled.


    I sniffed his mild arousal. Well no wolf would remain sane next to a she wolf in heat. Slowly I stood up in the tub and turned off the shower.


    ¡°I am.. in.. heat.¡± I didn¡¯t realize that I was still crying.


    Alpha Riley leaned on the wall with his arms folded. ¡°We ran out of supply of heat medication two days ago and the order we ced is yet to arrive.¡± He said.


    ¡°This heat might be the end of me.¡± I said to myself.


    ¡°Do you need my help to relief your heat?¡± A smirk yed on his lips.


    ¡°I.. don¡¯t.. need.. your help.¡± I replied.


    But another wave of heat had me leaning on the cold tiles for support. I wanted him but I was trying to fight my desires.


    ¡°You are still not ready to consider my demand?¡± Alpha Riley asked.


    I tightened my thighs together. ¡°I know. But trust me I am not trying.. to y.. difficult.¡± I knew he was getting turned on by smelling my heat and arousal but he was probably controlling himself.


    Alpha Riley has been considerate. He didn¡¯t pressure me about his demands. And since we had the discussion of having his pup, today is the first time he is asking for a response. Being in heat seemed to be the perfect time to get intimate with him since I am very fertile at the moment. My chance of getting pregnant if I sleep with him is so high.


    ¡°This.. this.. is not.. easy for me.¡± I stammered closing my eyes tightly.

 EPISODE THIRTY EIGHT

    THEME: Sealing the deal


    DARK WOOD PACK


    ONE WEEK LATER


    (Avery¡¯s Point Of View)


    I don¡¯t want to push the alpha away because I am scared of loosing the man who has saved my life.


    ¡°I understand. But sniffing your arousal is making it difficult for me too.¡± Alpha Riley growled.


    The sound of his growling suddenly enticed my wolf as she sniffed his arousal too. My wolf wanted this man. I reopened my eyes to look at him. ¡°I can.. smell you arousal.¡± I said.


    Alpha Riley¡¯s eyes darkened with lust. ¡°You are in heat. I¡¯ll give you a hand that willst you for a while. I don¡¯t want you to pass out on me.¡± He moved closer and stepped into the tub.


    Alpha Riley turned on the shower again and I couldn¡¯t say no again to his offer to help relief me. Water poured out on our bodies aggressively. He trailed his fingers on my face as his lips parted  with a heavy breathe. His eyes bored into my soul as if casting a spell on me. His sweet scent mixed with my arousal that had me on the edge.


    And while he hesitated on doing whatever was on his mind, I ced my hand on the solid walls of his chest and leaned up to press my lips on his mouth. He probably didn¡¯t expect it because it took him a while to regain from the shock before he opened up to me. My fingers locked in his hair as we shared a passionate and rough kiss.


    I broke off the kiss abruptly and looked into his eyes. ¡°I.. I.. I¡­¡± I paused and swallowed hard.


    His clothes were so wet and it clung on to his body revealing his perfect physique. ¡°I know you don¡¯t want this to happen. But the heat period is inevitable.¡± Alpha Riley finger flicked over my lower lip.


    A tear slipped down my right cheek. ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± I said.


    ¡°What?¡± He asked.


    ¡°Having your pup. I¡¯ll do it.¡± I answered.


    Alpha Riley stepped back a bit to study my expression. ¡°This is out of desperation to be relieved from your heat right?¡± He whispered.


    ¡°No.. no.. no.. you saved my life. You gave me a name. So having your pup is the best I could do to repay you. I want to do it.¡± I replied.


    ¡°Edda..¡± Alpha Riley touched my jaw. ¡°Are you sure?¡± He asked.


    I nodded my head in response. Then his lips came down on mine aggressively. I moaned softly as he kissed me roughly down to the wet skin on my neck. His mouth found my breasts, he sucked on my nipples before kissing my mouth again.


    I reached for the zip of his jeans but fumbled with it. Alpha Riley withdrew backward, removed his top, his jeans and his shaft sprung free as he pulled off his boxer.


    ¡°Edda.. do you really want to do this?¡± He ced his forehead on mine.


    ¡°You have no idea how much I want to do this with you.¡± I replied. I wanted him so badly.


    He grabbed my waist, lifted me until my legs were wrapped around him. ¡°I sniffed your arousal from the living room, came in only to hear you moaning my name.¡± He chuckled. The first he has ever done.


    ¡°It¡¯s crazy right?¡± I giggled.


    ¡°Of course.. but I¡¯m d it¡¯s my name.¡± Alpha Riley mmed his lips on mine before I could say another word.


    ¡°Have you done this before?¡± He asked amidst kisses.


    ¡°I can¡¯t remember.¡± I replied.


    ¡°We should find out.¡± Alpha Riley slid his cock into me. ¡°So tight.¡± It took a while for him to push his length into me. ¡°Not a first though.¡± He whispered.


    I didn¡¯t feel any sort of pain as he made the first thrust into me. I didn¡¯t even want my mind to drift back to who might have probably been my first.


    Alpha Riley pinned me against the wall, grabbed my hands and pinned them over my head. He thrusted into me against the wall as water sputtered down on us. Our lips locked again, our tongue mingled as he rocked me harder and deeper.


    Alpha Riley let out a grunt as he quickened his pace. I moaned softly in his ears as our arousal filled the air. He growled against my skin as he bit several spot on my skin. After some minutes of thrusting, sucking, biting, I felt my eyes roll back to my head as I reached the edge again.


    ¡°Oh my¡­¡± I choke on my words as orgasm rippled through my whole body. He stopped to hold my shaking body in ce as my wetness coated his erected cock. Onest thrust into me and he came inside me too.


    ¡°This is.. fucking good.¡± Alpha Riley whispered into my ears.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± I said.


    Alpha Riley looked into my eyes. ¡°I should be the one thanking you for agreeing to have my pup.¡± He kissed my forehead.


    There was no feeling of regrets like I had expected. My wolf was so excited that we had done it. And the heat was all gone after getting satisfied by this alpha.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Alpha Riley asked.


    I nodded. ¡°Do you think that you can stand on your own?¡± He asked again.


    ¡°Yes I am fine. I can stand on my own.¡± I answered.


    The contact was gone when alpha Riley pulled out his shaft from my core. A smile and smug look yed on his face as I leaned on the wall for support. My legs were still wobbly a bit.


    ¡°It looks good on you.¡± Imented.


    ¡°What?¡± He asked with a raised eyebrows as the smile faded.


    ¡°The smile. You should do it more often.¡± I responded.


    Alpha Riley didn¡¯t say anything. My eyes did a slow crawl down his chest and it caught something. A tattoo was sitting at the left side down his belly.


    ¡°Leah?¡± My eyes was sharp enough to read it even though it was tiny.


    ¡°Yeah Leah, my mate¡¯s name. I did it few days after I found her. Now I can¡¯t take it off.. forever.¡± Alpha Riley said as he reached for the bathing soap.


    ¡°Let us wash up and have dinner.¡± He added quickly to stop whatever question I might want to ask him.


    He must have loved his mate so much to even have her name tattooed on his body. And the truth remains that she would forever be in his heart. There would never be a chance for another she wolf in his heart. He doesn¡¯t want a second chance mate and it must be because the first had broken his heart so badly.


    Imagine staying twenty years without your mate by your side. Alpha Riley must have had other she wolves to satisfy himself but it would never go beyond the stage of having a good time together. I thought as his hands washed my body.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    And his touch ignited deep feelings in my soul. I shouldn¡¯t lose focus and get carried away. Sealing the deal to have his pup is the only chance I have to still be with him. Once all this is over, I will be gone in a far awaynd.

 EPISODE THIRTY NINE

    THEME: The Silent Alpha


    DARK WOOD PACK


    FEW MONTHS LATER


    Days has gone by into weeks and went on until several months passed with me not having an idea of where I belong. Still no alpha hase to im me as a native of a particr pack and I have epted my fate of being a baby mama to an alpha.


    If you are expecting things to be sweet between the alpha and I then erase the thought. Alpha Riley is the same cold and dangerous looking werewolf and I remain the woman is meant to bear his pup. The heir that he desires to take over the reign of the pack when he retires.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    I wasn¡¯t due until two weeks time. If I have this child, my only chance would be to nurse the pup for a few months and afterwards I would be gone. I would leave my child behind and travel somewhere far around the globe where no one would ever find me. The thought of being away from my unborn pup always brought tears to my eyes but it is the choice I have made.


    It is the best I could do to show gratitude to the alpha who had saved me and taken me under his wings. The memories in my head are the ones from this pack and nothing else. I know they would linger on with me even when I am gone till I breathe myst.


    I prepared pasta for the alpha when he returned him from a meeting at the pack. And I exited the kitchen after setting the table for him. Every part of my body throbbed and aches so badly as if I just did a very hardbor. I was sweating profusely from exhaustion but I knew it was the tiredness from the weight of the pregnancy on my body.


    My belly was so big that one would think I would give birth to a set of twins. But scan results proved that I was going to have just one pup.


    Time has gone by too fast as I remembered the day I had copsed in the bathroom while taking my bathe. And when I woke up, I opened my eyes to see smiles on the alpha and Doctor Jenny faces only for her to break the news that I was pregnant. I was weeks gone but I had no idea that I was pregnant.


    And soon, I would have my pup in my arms. A pup I wouldn¡¯t be able to love and cherish for a long time. I would be all alone. I could feel myself falling inside at the thought of it. I wish things were different now.


    I wondered if I could really survive leaving my child behind. I have to survive it.. no matter what even if I hope of meeting my pup someday. Throughout the months, I didn¡¯t let myself fall into depression because of my deal with the alpha for the pup¡¯s sake.


    I lowered myself onto the couch as I let out a shaky breathe. Some minutester, I heard the sound of water running in the kitchen. I rubbed my hands unconsciously over my belly as I stared into space.


    ¡°Edda.¡± I jumped in fear when alpha Riley¡¯s hand touched my shoulder de. ¡°Oh.. my goodness..¡± my heartbeat fastened at the mild waves of shock that ran through me.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Alpha Riley asked.


    ¡°Yes.. yes.. I am.. fine.¡± I nodded my head repeatedly.


    ¡°What are you thinking? You zoned outpletely.¡± Alpha Riley said.


    ¡°Nothing. I am doing fine too.¡± I forced a smile on my face.


    ¡°You look tired.¡± Alpha Riley¡¯s eyes studied my face.


    I let my head drop down to my fiddling fingers on myps now. He doesn¡¯t need to know about my thoughts. My head snapped up to meet his gaze when I felt a touch on my belly.


    ¡°Perhaps is the baby on its way? I can take you to the infirmary to see-¡±


    I interrupted him. ¡°No.. I am doing okay. And the baby.. I guess.. it is fine too.¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°But.. I don¡¯t feelfortable with the way you have been actingtely.¡± Alpha Riley had a concerned look on his face.


    His touch was sending a tingling feeling in me that has been there for months now. ¡°Doctor Jenny said.. I should expect to feel tired.. that¡¯s how I am feeling right now.¡± I admitted.


    ¡°Edda, can you stop trying to hide how you feel each time I ask you? It makes me more worried about you and the pup.¡± Alpha Riley frown deepened.


    He did an unexpected move. My breathe caught when his hand began to caress my protruded belly. I couldn¡¯t tell him to stop because I wanted it too, I longed for his touch and he is the father of the pup.


    His gaze locked mine for some split second before he withdrew quickly as if my belly burned him. Alpha Riley stood up and walked away into his bedroom. We don¡¯t share the same room and the time we got intimate in the shower was the only time we have ever been together. The alpha kept his distance from me after he left me in the shower. And he avoided mepletely the moment he found out that I was pregnant.


    I once asked him why he seemed distant but the response I got was that he was trying to be careful so he won¡¯t hurt me or the baby in anyway.


    Tears formed in my eyes as I tried to stand up from the couch but could help myself up. I swallowed hard as I pushed myself forward slowly on the couch.


    ¡°I am.. fine.. Edda.. we can do this.¡± I tried to encourage myself. Well that¡¯s what I have been doing for months now to fight depression. I didn¡¯t let the tears drop too, it has been months since I cried.


    I ced one hand underneath my belly while my free hand balled into a fist on the couch as I dragged myself up. And all of a sudden goosebumps roughened my skin as I began to feel cold. I should head back to my room andy still in bed until I fall asleep. I gasped for breathe as I walked to my room.


    As I climbed into the bed, my stomach felt tight and heavy as I leaned my head on the bed headboard. I felt a kick in my belly. I reached out to massaged the ce as I closed my eyes.


    ¡°Oh my dear pup, no matter what happens always remember that I love you.¡± I mumbled to total silence in the room as I conversed with the kicking foot in my belly.

 EPISODE FORTY

    THEME: Delivery room


    DARK MOON PACK


    My eyes red opened as a sudden stab of pain shot through me. Slowly I tried to sit up and thenzily dragged myself out of the bed to the bathroom. I pulled down my short made from a flimsy fabric and sat on the toilet to pee. The amount of liquid that dropped from my center got me worried and I bit down my lower lips as another pain pulled at my muscles.


    I let out a groan as I stood up and wore my short back and went back to the room. Pain spasmed in my whole body when I felt it again. Instead ofying back on the bed, I started towards the door to get the one person I knew could help me out.


    I used the wall as a support until I got to his room. ¡°Riley..¡± I knocked.


    The door opened and our gaze locked after some seconds. ¡°Edda.. are you alright?¡± His eyes did a slow crawl on me.


    I could feel the bead of sweats running down my face. ¡°I think.. I think.. my water broke.¡± I stuttered.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Alpha Riley¡¯s pupil expanded in shock. ¡°Have you been getting contractions?¡± He asked calmly.


    ¡°A sharp pain in my back woke me up..¡± I tapped on the wall at the pain. ¡°I think I am about to have the pup!¡± I shouted at him. The pain wasn¡¯t the usual back pain and muscle pain thates with being pregnant.


    Alpha Riley moved into action immediately. ¡°I am sorry.¡± He rushed back to the room only for him to be on call.


    ¡°Yes I¡¯ll bring her over to the infirmary now.¡± He ended the call.


    I breathed out shakily. ¡°I just spoke to doctor Jenny. They will prepare everything before we get to the infirmary.¡± Alpha Riley made me lean on him as he led me to the sitting room.


    It took us forever. We stopped a few times for me to rest each time I got a contraction until we made it to the door.


    ¡°Damn it! The key!¡± Alpha Riley left me on the porch as he rushed back to get the car keys in his room.


    I was in so much pains. Tears clouded my eyes. ¡°Go faster!¡± I begged.


    Alpha Riley looked at me with so much worry in his eyes. He stretched out a hand towards me so I could hold on to it and I did while his other hand on the wheels. ¡°I am sorry.. but we have to be careful on this path.¡± He apologized. That¡¯s what he has been saying since we left home.


    ¡°Why are you.. saying sorry? Why are you sorry?¡± I asked.


    ¡°For putting you through this.. seriously I wish I can take this pain from you.¡± He locked our hands tightly and raised it to his mouth and kissed it.


    ¡°Riley.. I don¡¯t know if I should be saying this to you. But I have.. to say it.. do I really have to leave after my pup is born?¡± I asked.


    Alpha Riley looked away and didn¡¯t answer. My breathing was fast but I was ready to say everything on my mind.


    ¡°Riley.. I know.. we didn¡¯t agree to stay together.. forever but..¡± I stopped to refill my lungs with enough air.


    ¡°I love you.¡± I confessed.


    It was as if I was talking to a cemented wall even though alpha Riley had gone still at my words. I saw his hand trembling on the wheels as he focused on the rough paths ahead.


    He doesn¡¯t have to give a response now because of the tension right?  But I couldn¡¯t hold back how I felt towards the alpha. And if I don¡¯t confess it now I may never have the chance to confess again.


    Alpha Riley let go of my hand gently and ced them both on the wheels. Silence stretched out between us for a long minutes before I gained my courage to speak again. ¡°Forgive me.. Riley.. I just couldn¡¯t help it.¡± I sobbed at another contraction.


    Alpha Riley pulled the car to a stop without saying a word to me. He walked around the car to open the door and helped me out of the car.


    Doctor Jenny and two Iotas were already waiting in front of the infirmary. The pain I was feeling at this moment as they took me in isn¡¯t from thebor but the fact that Riley didn¡¯t respond and it only means one thing. The end of the deal with the alpha. Once the pup is out, everything that has to do with us woulde to an end.


    Another contraction began and I gasped as it squeezed and stretched the muscles in my belly. I tried to breathe through the pain. I could feel my skin turning cold as my eyes was fixated on my belly. I was taken in for examination as I was in the middle of another nerve wrecking contraction.


    ¡°Please bring the alpha into the delivery room.¡± I heard Doctor Jenny instruct one of the iotas.


    ¡°But why?¡± I asked.


    ¡°It is a tradition here. Males wolves have to be with their mates during child birth.¡± Doctor Jenny answered.


    ¡°But.. you know.. the alpha and I.. are not mated.¡± I countered.


    ¡°You are carrying his pup.¡± Alpha Riley walked into the delivery room.


    ¡°Is the baby out?¡± He asked the nurse that brought him in.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s her first time and might take a while.¡± Doctor Jenny replied.


    ¡°How many hours do we have to wait?¡± Alpha Riley demanded as color drained out of his face.


    Doctor Jenny smiled brightly. ¡°Some first timers delivers quickly than expected.¡±


    ¡°Are you sure she can have the baby herself?¡± Alpha Riley questioned.


    ¡°Yes.. she doesn¡¯t need surgery. I am sure she is capable of having the baby herself.¡± Doctor Jenny responded.


    ¡°So what do I need to do?¡± I saw Alpha Riley ran his hand through his hair.


    ¡°Help her feel rxed.¡± Doctor Jenny walked out of the delivery room with two other iotas.


    Alpha Riley sat on the bed and looked into my eyes. I was hoping he would bring up the conversation but he didn¡¯t say a word as time slipped away. But Alpha Riley only kept massaging my belly. I didn¡¯t know how long he did the massaging but at this point I was close to falling asleep until another contraction began. I felt the excruciating pain in my muscles and the tremor that ran through my body.


    I arched my back in pain as alpha Riley rushed off to call the doctor. The medical team came back into the delivery room and doctor Jenny set to do an examination on me after wearing a glove.

    ¡°She is fully dted. She can have the baby herself.¡± Doctor Jenny replied.


    ¡°Alright. Then you don¡¯t need my help here anymore. I should leave.¡± He said.


    But I grabbed his wrist before he moved far away. I thought it is a tradition for him to be here or is he leaving because we aren¡¯t mates?


    ¡°Please Riley.. just stay.. with me. I need you.. I need you by my side and no one else.¡± I let the tears drop down freely.


    I needed him to be there with me. I was feeling as if all the air in my lungs had been squeezed out. I was beginning to have difficulty in breathing. And without saying a word, he covered one of my hand with his and he tried to stroke our locked hands.


    ¡°Riley..¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t say anything.. please just focus on having the pup.¡± He silenced me with a cold look in his eyes.


    I was giving up. Nothing is going to work out between us because he still loves his mate and we didn¡¯t agree to fall in love at the beginning. I have endured so much in the past few months and my hope of having a rtionship the alpha was slipping away.


    ¡°Push.. Edda..¡± Doctor Jenny instructed.


    I cried out on a different tone. My eyes widened in shock at the pain and I was sweating profusely. ¡°Oh.. my.. goodness!¡± I dropped my head back to take a deep breathe.


    ¡°Just a little more.¡± Alpha Riley murmured in my ear.


    The instruction to push came again and I cried out. I held on tightly to his hands until I heard a faint cry. I let out a sigh of relief that my pup was out in this world.


    ¡°Alpha, you should have the child.¡± Doctor Jenny said after some minutes of silence.


    ¡°No.. no.. I don¡¯t think-¡± the iota that led him into the delivery room brought the baby to him.


    ¡°You should hold him.¡± The iota bowed in respect to him.


    Amazement washed over the alpha as he carried the baby in his arms. The little male wolf shot its tiny fists in the air as he cried. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I watched father and son. I spread my arms to ept the pup. I was happy to hold him close to my chest as I ced a kiss in his hair that was gelled to his head.


    Some minutester, the iota came to take the pup to clean him up. Alpha Riley sat at the edge of the bed.


    ¡°He is healthy.¡± He mumbled.


    I nodded my head in agreement. I would have reached out to wipe my tears but he held my hand. His other free hand cupped my face until he leaned down and pressed his lips on mine.


    I was taken aback by his movement. When my lips parted, alpha Riley pushed his tongue into my mouth. The kiss was deep and possessive but what for? I pondered. I didn¡¯t want it to end when alpha Riley pulled away to break off the kiss.


    Alpha Riley closed his eyes but soon he opened them again.  ¡°You want to stay right?¡± He asked.


    My stomach clenched at his words. I should be happy the alpha asked me such questions right? But it didn¡¯t sit well with me.


    I blinked back tears and looked away from him. ¡°Are you asking me to stay because I asked you? Listen Riley, I¡¯ll just leave.. when-¡± my words were interrupted when he ced his lips on mine again.


    ¡°I want you, Edda.¡± He said when I didn¡¯t open my mouth to let him explore it again. ¡°I mean.. I want you to have more of my pups without the contract binding us.¡± He added quickly.


    I was stunned. When he looked into my eyes, his expression says that he was serious and he meant every word he was saying to me.


    ¡°I want you to stay but I didn¡¯t know how to convince you about it. Oh.. Edda.. you don¡¯t know how much I have grown to love you.¡± He said softly.


    The way Alpha Riley¡¯s mouth curled up made me melt at its cuteness. It was tempting. ¡°You love me?¡± I asked in a surprised tone.


    His eyes bore into mine as he hummed a response. He stroked my jaw. ¡°Don¡¯t say anything. I know you feel the same way too. I heard everything you said on our way down here but.. I wanted to be sure of myself. I don¡¯t want you to feel like I am only using you for my own benefit. Edda, don¡¯t leave. I¡¯ll give you the good life I promised in the contract but it would be right here in this pack. I know you have been through a lot these past few months but give me a chance to make it up to you.¡± His voice pleaded with me.


    The alpha was indeed asking me to stay. I could see the sweat that broke out on his face during the course of delivery.


    ¡°I love you, Edda.¡± Alpha Riley dered. I shouldn¡¯t be surprised anymore but my eyes widened. ¡°And thank you for having my pup.¡± He mmed his lips on mine again.


    My arms went around his neck to depend the kiss. I love him. I could almost burst from the happiness that I was going to nurse my pup for a very long time. My fears are gone. I don¡¯t have to worry anymore about how my life would turn out beyond this pack or who would help raise my pup.


    Alpha Riley removed strands of hair from my face when the kiss ended. ¡°We should give him a name.¡± I suggested.


    ¡°What name do you have in mind?¡± I asked.


    We have never discussed it because I thought I won¡¯t be around to take care of my pup. The child belonged to the alpha so it was up to him to find a name.


    ¡°Alexander.¡± Alpha Riley replied.


    ¡°That¡¯s a nice name.¡± Imented.


    ¡°It¡¯s my father¡¯s name.¡± Alpha Riley smiled at me. ¡°Do you have any name in mine too?¡± He asked.


    I thought of a name for some seconds and only said the name that dropped into my mind. ¡°Kayden.¡±


    Alpha Riley¡¯s eyes widened and his expression disyed shock but it soon faded and was reced by a small grin. ¡°I think.. it is a very.. cute name. Kayden.¡± He shared a look with Doctor Jenny as she walked closer towards him.


    ¡°Alexander and Kayden.. nice names you got for him.¡± Doctor Jennyplimented.


    ¡°Thank you, Doctor Jenny.¡± I nodded my head slowly.


    ¡°This is the future alpha of dark moon pack.¡± Doctor Jenny said as she gave the pup to the alpha. She bowed and the other iotas in the room did the same too.

 EPISODE FORTY TWO

    THEME: Alexander and Elena


    DARK WOOD PACK


    TWENTY YEARS LATER


    Edda¡¯s Point of View


    Alexander¡¯s car was in the garage when I parked my car in front of the house. My forehead creased as I climbed out of the car. It wasn¡¯t time for my son to return back to the pack because he had only left for college about a week ago.


    I pulled my coat tightly around my body and buried my hands in the pocket. The cold wind tossed my hair as I climbed up the few steps leading to the door.


    I wasn¡¯t aware that my son was around but I was really eager to see him. My son, Alexander who I also call Kayden was in second year in college studying mechanical engineering with the big dream of owning an automobilepany.


    Alexander seems uninterested in running the pack because of his dream but his father has refused to support him. Over time, I have tried to make different suggestions one of which was him running to the automobilepany in the pack.


    And by so doing, our pack can gain recognition from other species and increase our chances of making it to the top list of werewolf packs in the Lycan world. And the response I got from my son was that he would think it over again. It has been over a year now and Alexander hasn¡¯t said anything about our discussion. Although Alexander knows his responsibilities as the future alpha of dark moon pack and that it was his obligation to take on the reigns of power and authority once his dad steps down as the alpha. But my son isn¡¯t ready to take on such responsibilities. And he had even dyed the process of his father transferring the alpha title to him with the im that he would feel too burdened. You know studying and trying to handle some things in the pack.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    I let out a sigh before opening the door to step into the apartment. I stopped in surprise when I was greeted by delicious aromas.


    ¡°Alexander..¡± I called out to him but got no response. I motioned towards the kitchen only to see my son moving around the area. Woah! Is Alexander really cooking dinner?


    ¡°Alex.¡± I called again and he turned to look at me.


    ¡°Oh mom!¡± A bright smile beamed on his face as he came closer to exchange pleasantries with me.


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t expecting to see you at home and then..¡± I paused and pointed at the mess he has made in the kitchen. ¡°Cooking dinner.¡± Ipleted my intended statement.


    ¡°Come on mom. Stop making it sound like I don¡¯t know how to cook.¡± He turned away to the gas.


    ¡°Alex, I know you are a good cook but I am only saying that it¡¯s surprising to see you do it.¡± I chuckled.


    My son looked at me only to roll his eyes. ¡°So why are you home?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Something happened.¡± Alexander mumbled.


    My pulse rate elerated at the thought of him getting into trouble at college. ¡°Did you get into a fight again?¡±  I demanded.


    ¡°I don¡¯t get into childish fights anymore.¡± His smile grew broader so I tried to rx my mind.


    Alexander isn¡¯t a bully neither has he ever been bullied. Well he is a tough werewolf who chooses to stand up for the weak wolves. While he was growing up, we get reports from his school authority about him beating up other werewolves who tried to bully a nerd in their ss. Well Alexander imed that he was only trying to fight for those who aren¡¯t strong enough to defend themselves.


    But he had quit fighting in school after his father challenged him to fight one of the strongest and best warriors in the pack. Not that it wasn¡¯t right of him to defend the weak wolves but getting into fight at school with bigger and bully wolves almost everyday and having wounds and bruises really infuriated his father.


    Alexander wasn¡¯t strong enough to fight the warrior so he was defeated. And of course, the fight didn¡¯t end without both parties sustaining injuries. I didn¡¯t dare to stay around to watch such fight. And what Riley tried to do back then was tame Alex wild nature before he turns into a bully himself and he wouldn¡¯t get expelled from school for beating half of the males in the school.


    ¡°You look so happy, what¡¯s the asion?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I am not sharing it with you until everyone is present.¡± Alexander answered.


    ¡°Is your daddy home yet? I didn¡¯t see his car in the garage.¡± I said.


    ¡°Yes, dad is in the room while Elena is probably passing time on her cellphone.¡± Alexander responded with a shrug.


    ¡°Okay.. so when are we having dinner?¡± I asked again.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be done in fifteen minutes.¡± Alexander walked to the sink.


    ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll just go ahead and change up.¡± I walked out of the kitchen to the bedroom.


    Are you wondering who is Elena? She is my daughter. Riley and I adopted Elena when she was six years old. Her biological parents died in an ident. They are natives of dark moon pack. And we have adopted Elena as our daughter legally because no one from her families was ready to im her.


    Elena is three years younger than our son. And she doesn¡¯t remember anything about herself because she had lost her memoriespletely in the ident even as the only survivor. So it was kind of easy for her to ept the fact that we are her parents. And I am certain no one would ever mention it to her that she was adopted  because the alpha already made the announcement to the pack members.


    Elena is a cool sort who doesn¡¯t want to associate herself with people. She enjoys her space and prefers to stay in her bedroom all day just reading novels and ying games on her cellphone.  But she is never reminded to do the house chores.


    Elena is not interested in studying like other wolves who are eager to leave the pack to further their education in other ces. And I can¡¯t help but wonder how she would ever find a mate if she stays at home all day.

 EPISODE FORTY THREE

    THEME: I found her


    DARK WOOD PACK


    (Edda¡¯s Point Of View)


    When my husband and I moved back to the dinning section, there were flowers and a bottle of wine on the table and music also drifted from the living room.


    Riley and I exchanged nces as we took a couple ofst steps to the table.


    ¡°Wow! I am wondering why Alexander is going through all these preparations.¡± I whispered to Riley who just simply grinned. He was probably wondering the same too.


    ¡°He must be up to a good this time.¡± Elena muttered.


    My son came back to the dinning room with a baked pie. Alexander¡¯s shirt was partially in unbuttoned and the sleeves rolled up his forearms. He was sweaty and his dark hair fell over his forehead.


    ¡°You are in a good mood. Alex, can you tell us what¡¯s going on?¡± I smiled.


    Alexander grinned as he dished out the food. ¡°We should have a proper meal as a family before sharing the news.¡±


    No one said anything else as we all settled to eat. Several minutes passed with only Alexander miming slowly to the music.


    ¡°This is delicious.¡± Rileyplimented.


    ¡°Thanks dad.¡± Alexander let his spoon drop as he reached out to open the wine.


    My husband pushed back his te. ¡°I am full.¡± Riley added.


    ¡°Me too. So Alex, can you just share the news already?¡± Elena grabbed a ss of water and gulped down the whole liquid in it at once.


    ¡°Alright.. everyone listen to what I have to say.¡± Alexander raised his hand up.


    I watched Elena rolled her eyes while Riley nced down at his wrist watch. ¡°I have a meeting with the officials in twenty minutes time.¡± He looked straight at our son.


    ¡°Thiste night?¡± Alexander asked with a raised eyebrows.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Riley nodded in response.


    ¡°I found her.¡± Alexander blurted out.


    ¡°Who did you find?¡± I asked.


    Riley and I exchanged nces. ¡°My mate!¡± Alexander said with clear excitement in his tone.


    I gasped out in happiness. ¡°Really?! You found your mate? Where? When? How did you find your mate?¡± I questioned frantically.


    I didn¡¯t miss the pure joy and happiness on each of our faces at the news that our first child already found his mate.


    ¡°This is great news.¡± Riley chuckled.


    ¡°Indeed.¡± Elena winked at her brother.


    ¡°Tell us how you found her.¡± I said.


    ¡°And who she is too.¡± Elena added.


    I was feeling so anxious to know how my first child found his mate.


    ¡°Well.. I found my mate at a club three days ago when I hung out with a friend who was celebrating his birthday. And it turned out that she is a student at the same college I attend but not in my department. She is studying medicine.¡± Alexander exined with a bright beam on his face.


    ¡°So who is she? I mean.. is she a vampire? An hybrid? A witch? A human? What¡¯s her kind?¡± Riley demanded with a chuckle. He was clearing teasing our son because our kind wasn¡¯t on the list.


    ¡°Fortunately she is a werewolf just like me.¡± Alexander answered.


    ¡°Wow! That¡¯s so cool! And did your wolves epted to get mated at first meeting?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Yes! She sensed our connection when our gaze locked. I didn¡¯t want to approach her at first because of the too many humans around us but she walked up to me and said.. hey handsome, you are my destined mate. Damn! She looked so gorgeous when those words rolled off her tongue.¡±


    Alexander got out of chair and demonstrated how his mate had approached him and both of them sharing a kiss of eptance under the moonlight that same night.


    ¡°I would have made it home right away to share the news but I had to wait for a test the next day. And I didn¡¯t want to share such news over the phone.¡± Alexander smiled and sat back in his chair.


    ¡°So how do you feel finding your destined mate?¡± Elena asked.


    Alexander looked straight at her. ¡°I am super excited! I found my mate, she epted me immediately, we shared a kiss of eptance which happens to be my first kiss and I didn¡¯t have to beg her for eptance.¡± Alexander counted his fingers and then touched his lips.


    His mind was probably drifting back to the kiss he had shared with his mate.


    ¡°Stop being too dramatic about this whole mate of a thing.¡± Elena said.


    ¡°You can¡¯t rte because you haven¡¯t found your mate.¡± Alexander stick out his tongue at his sister.


    Elena let out a sigh. ¡°Lucky you for finding your mate. Congrattions.¡± She pped her hands slowly.


    ¡°And I think we are missing something.¡± Riley said.


    ¡°What?¡± We asked in unison with our heads turning towards him.


    ¡°Your mate is a native of which pack?¡± Riley demanded.


    ¡°Oh yes! I almost forgot! You made me study all the whole werewolf pack names when I was little but I haven¡¯t heard of the name of my mate¡¯s pack or seen it in records.¡± Alexander said with a confused look on his face.


    ¡°What¡¯s the name of her pack?¡± I asked.


    ¡°ck moon pack.¡± Alexander answered.


    ¡°Really? I haven¡¯t heard of that pack. Maybe it is a new pack.¡± I said with a shrug.


    ¡°No. My mate is the alpha¡¯s daughter. And she mentioned it that the pack has been in existence for more than forty years now.¡± Alexander countered.


    ¡°Who doesn¡¯t know ck moon pack? I have friends from that pack.¡± Elena snorted.


    Alexander shot her a re. ¡°Stop ying around or trying to tease me. I know you have no friends, Elena.¡±


    She rolled her eyes again. An habit she can¡¯t do without. I turned to look at my husband.


    ¡°Do you know ck moon pack?¡± I questioned but got no response.


    ¡°Honey¡­¡± I called him again. But he already zoned out on us and was deeply lost in thought.


    I reached out to tap him. ¡°Honey..¡± he jolted out of thought. ¡°What are you thinking?¡±


    ¡°Oh me? Nothing.. nothing.¡± He stammered.


    ¡°Dad, you are not listening.¡± Alexander used.


    ¡°I heard everything. Alexander, you said that.. your mate is a native of ck moon pack.¡± Riley said.


    Alexander nodded in agreement. ¡°And her father owns the pack.¡± Riley added.


    ¡°Yes, she is the alpha¡¯s daughter. And she is the first child and next in line to rule the pack.¡± Alexander answered.


    ¡°Perhaps, is herst name Scott?¡± Riley asked.


    ¡°Yes! Dad, how did you know? Look, her father and I also share the same name.. Kayden. And my mate¡¯s name is Avery. She was so surprised to find out that she has the same name as my mom.¡± Alexander grinned.


    ¡°Avery? That¡¯s impossible.¡± Riley muttered under his breathe but I heard him clearly.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± I asked jinx


    ¡°That wolf can¡¯t be his mate. I mean.. there must be a mistake somewhere.. not Avery Scott!¡± Riley blurted out.


    We all had confused nces on our faces at his sudden outburst. Riley stood up to leave.


    ¡°Dad, what do you mean by Avery can¡¯t be my mate? I sniffed her scent in the air.. I am certain there is no mistake anywhere.¡± Alexander pointed out.


    ¡°Perhaps do you know about ck moon pack?¡± I demanded.


    Riley looked down at me and my heart beat elerated at what I saw in his eyes. A cold stare. It was exactly what I had seen years back when I met him. That time a dangerous looking alpha saved my life.


    ¡°Dad-¡±


    ¡°She can never be your mate!¡± And with that Riley stormed out of the house mming the door hard in the process.


    Alexander clenched his fists. ¡°Does this mean dad is not in support of me mating again? He has always been like this towards me. He never supports anything that concerns me.¡± He gritted.


    ¡°No.. no.. Alex, don¡¯t get your father wrong. Maybe your daddy is just stressed out because of the pack affairs.¡± I tried to calm my son down.


    ¡°He doesn¡¯t have to take out his frustration on me.¡± Alexander replied.


    ¡°But why do I feel like something is wrong. Like dad.. is hiding something.. he never shared this pack name with us. It was never on the list he gave us to study. Could it be that dad is probably not on good terms with the alpha of ck moon pack?¡± Elena said loudly.


    Alexander stood up abruptly. ¡°Well I don¡¯t care about whatever he has up his sleeves!¡±


    ¡°Alex, would you calm down please. I¡¯ll go talk to your dad and find out his reason for not wanting to ept your mate.¡± I pushed the chair backwards and stood up too.


    ¡°There won¡¯t be any need to talk to him. Dad doesn¡¯t back out of his words. And sometimes I feel like I am not even rted to him in anyway. He treats me like some damn outcast!¡± Alexander said in a raised tone.


    ¡°Alex! Why would you think like that? Your father loves you.¡± I countered.


    ¡°I doubt it. So tell him.. I won¡¯t let him stop me this time.¡± Alex grimaced in anger before walking off to his room.


    ¡°What just happened right now? This sudden switch up is giving me goosebumps.¡± Elena rubbed her upper arm. ¡°I¡¯ll do the dishester.¡± She went ahead to her room too leaving just me at the dinning table.


    I didn¡¯t know what to do. Going after my husband to have a word with him won¡¯t help because in a few minutes he would be in a closed door meeting with his officials. And talking to Alexander at this moment is also a no because his room door would be locked by now.


    I didn¡¯t like the fact that Alexander was clearly doubting his father¡¯s love. Riley could be strict on some levels and doesn¡¯t see eye to eye with our son but I am certain he loves Alexander so much.


    I sighed in frustration as I settled to clear the tes on the table. I pondered on why Riley might be refusing to ept our son¡¯s mate.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    I mean this should be a time when we throw a party because the future alpha just found his mate. Alexander should be enjoying the joy of finding a mate and receiving series of congrattory messages from everyone in the pack.

 EPISODE FORTY FOUR

    THEME: The Beta¡¯s Daughter


    DARK MOON PACK


    Edda¡¯s Point of View


    I woke up to total silence in the room. I rubbed my eyelids to have a clear vision. My gaze flickered towards the windows and I realized that it was dawn. If you ask me, dawn came to quickly and it seemed like I haven¡¯t slept at all. The rm beeped with the red light disying 8:00 am. The bed space was empty which only means one thing-Riley didn¡¯te homest night again.


    It has been four days since my son made the announcement about finding his soulmate. Alexander left the next morning without me knowing and he didn¡¯t say a word to anyone. Riley hasn¡¯t been home, it doesn¡¯t look like he cared about our son leaving home and he had also texted me not toe look for him. And in the message, he stated that he would be busy attending meetings but I knew it was an excuse to avoid having a conversation with me.


    I reached for my cellphone under the pillow. There was no missed calls or messages from my husband which seemed to piss off my wolf. My phone beeped and showed iing message. I clicked the screen when Alexander¡¯s name popped up.


    ¡®Good morning mom. How are you doing? I am texting to let you know that I won¡¯t be home for the next couple of months. If dad is not ready to ept Avery as my mate then I¡¯ll court her on my own will. Don¡¯t try to find me. I am doing okay. Love, Alex.¡¯


    It was clear that Alexander was rebelling against his father. I can¡¯t sit back and watch my family fall apart because of these stubborn and strong willed wolves. If I stay back at home and do nothing these wolves might be the death of me. Father and son not getting along well and disagreeing on every matter doesn¡¯t sit well with me.


    I crawled out of bed and made a quick trip into the bathroom to take a shower.  I finished up, got dressed and picked up my phone on the bed. I motioned out of the room texting on my phone to reply Alex.


    ¡®Please son, don¡¯t stay away from home. I need to see you around. I¡¯ll try to talk to your dad and make sure he epts your mate and also give you his blessing.¡¯ I read what I just typed and sent the text to him.


    ¡°Where are you going mom?¡± I heard my daughter¡¯s voice.


    My head snapped up to look at Elena who was sweating profusely. She was standing at the door and dressed in abat suit.


    ¡°I need to see your dad and talk to him about your brother.¡± I replied with a raised eyebrow.


    ¡°I tried texting Alex but he read my message and didn¡¯t reply.¡± Elena said.


    I eyed the outfit on her body. ¡°Your brother just sent me a text. He is noting home anytime soon.¡±


    ¡°Oops! That¡¯s not good.¡± Elena shook her head as she walked closer to me.


    ¡°What¡¯s with thebat suit?¡± I asked, pointing at her.


    A slow smile crept up on her face. ¡°I have finally found what I want to do in life.¡± Elena answered with a shrug.


    ¡°So what is it?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I want to be a warrior. I have registered my name in the academy and we did the sparring battle today.¡± Elena exined.


    ¡°Oh! I didn¡¯t know you would be interested in such a thing.¡± I would have given her a motherly hug but she is too sweaty and dirty to be embraced right now. But I made sure to ster a happy smile on my face.


    ¡°So how is your first training?¡±


    Elena giggled. ¡°Great! I won¡¯t against my sparring mate!¡± She answered with excitement in her tone.


    ¡°Perhaps do I know your sparring mate?¡± I arched my brows.


    ¡°The beta¡¯s daughter. Jasmine seems uninterested in joining the academy although she fights so well. I didn¡¯t like that she let me beat her so easily so she could drop out of the academy.¡± Elena frowned and crossed her arms over her chest.


    ¡°Why is she uninterested when she fights so well?¡± I furrowed my eyebrows deeply.


    Beta Jones has been training his daughter since she hit 12 because he wanted her to be stronger than her friends and also be a warrior. Jasmine is Alex¡¯s good friend. She seemed interested in fighting even at a tender age because she and Alex had trained together. But I am surprised to hear that she is not interested in joining the academy anymore.


    ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t know the reason?¡± Elena¡¯s arms dropped down to her side.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°Is there something going on with Jasmine? Maybe she is not feeling well.¡±  I replied.


    Elena let out a loud sigh. ¡°The truth is Jasmine loves Alex. And the only reason why she started training is because her dad promised to let her train with him. But Alex already found his mate which only means that she can¡¯t be more than friends with him so she is not interested in joining the academy anymore.¡± Elena pointed out.


    ¡°Oh!¡± I mouthed.


    ¡°I feel bad for Jasmine. She has a lot on her mind and can¡¯t share it with anyone.¡± Elena huffed.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Alex would tell Jasmine about finding his mate. And her being in love with-¡±


    Elena interrupted me sharply. ¡°What do you expect mom? Jasmine is his best friend so she knows every thing about him. And Alex is aware of her feelings towards him but he already made things clear that they can¡¯t be more than friends even before finding his mate. So Jasmine is working so hard to get over him.¡±


    My phone pinged again. ¡°It is good that he made things clear. So what¡¯s Jasmine¡¯s n since she is dropping out of the academy?¡± I nced down at the device in my hand.


    ¡°She is going to do what she has always wanted to do.¡±  Elena answered.


    ¡°And that is..¡± I read Alex¡¯s message in my head.


    ¡®Avery can¡¯t wait to meet you.¡¯


    ¡°Jasmine is moving out of the pack to enroll in a school of culinary. She wants to be a chef.¡± Elena responded.


    I heaved a sigh. ¡°I don¡¯t know if her dad would allow her leave the pack when she can learn everything here.¡±


    Elena pulled off her boot. ¡°Jasmine might run away if her dad says no. She can¡¯t stand seeing Alex with his mate so she needs to stay away. And if I am not wrong she might tell the truth about her feeling to the beta with the hope that he understands her and considers her emotions.¡± She walked away into the kitchen.


    ¡°The beta is not heartless. If shees out clean he might let her go and support her n.¡± I added.


    ¡°I hope so too. Have a good time talking to dad! I can¡¯t help not texting my only brother. It is annoying that he doesn¡¯t reply my messages!¡± Elena said loudly all the way from the kitchen.


    ¡°I¡¯ll talk to Alex.¡± I assured her.


    ¡°No need to do that! He might feel too important and decide to tease me about it when we see again!¡± Elena replied.


    I couldn¡¯t hold back theughter. ¡°I am off to see your dad!¡± I started towards the door and let myself out to the porch.


    ¡®I hope to see her soon too. Try to reply your sister she is worried about you.¡¯ I texted my son.


    Alexander and Elena might derive pleasure in teasing each other but the love between them can¡¯t be doubted. Alexander remains the over protective and caring elder brother.


    My children may have their ws but I am also d that I raised them so well to love and cherish each other. I was happy Elena would stop staying at home. At least now, she would get to mingle with other wolves and make new friends in the academy.

 EPISODE FORTY FIVE

    THEME: Not the usual couple


    DARK MOON PACK


    Edda¡¯s Point Of View


    I didn¡¯t bother taking my car keys because I wasn¡¯t in a good note to drive. I walked down to the building of affairs and the cool breeze really helped to calm my nerves and my aching head.


    ¡°And here we are at the building of affairs.¡± I huffed before climbing up the steps.


    I let out a handful of breathes and did the exhaling and inhaling process over and over again. Some male wolves bowed as they greeted me and I acknowledged them. Riley should be in his office by this time. I thought ncing down at my wrist watch. The closed door meeting should start in an hour.


    ¡°Luna Edda.¡± I heard a familiar voice call out my name as I climbed up thest step.


    I looked up to see Beta Jones. ¡°Good morning, Luna Edda.¡± He greeted.


    ¡°Good morning, Beta Jones.¡± I managed to smile. I noticed that more officials wereing out of the building instead of going inside in preparation for the closed door meeting.


    ¡°You are here to see the alpha right?¡± Beta Jones said in a low tone.


    ¡°Yes. What¡¯s going on?¡± I asked pointing to some officials who stopped to bow to me.


    ¡°The closed door meeting has been postponed again.¡± Beta Jones answered.


    ¡°Again? What do you mean by again?¡± I demanded with a raised eyebrow.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    ¡°I have been postponing the meetings for days now on the orders of the alpha. He has been refusing to see anyone for close to four days now. I checked on him this morning using my spare key to his office and I found him unconscious and deadly drunk not too long ago.¡± Beta Jones exined.


    My eyes widened in shock. My husband was unconscious and drunk but I didn¡¯t know. What if I didn¡¯t decide toe check on him? Plus Riley had lied about being busy. I knew right from time it was an excuse to avoid having a conversation with me.


    ¡°Theta Jenny is attending to him right now. But he told me not to let you know about it. Luna, is there something wrong? I have tried to get the alpha to talk to me but he won¡¯t speak up.¡± Beta Jones looked perturbed.


    ¡°Where is my husband?¡± I asked.


    ¡°He is in his office.¡± Beta Jones replied.


    Riley is not going to escape giving me an exnation. I need to know why he drank himself to stupor. If this is about Alexander¡¯s mate then he needs to tell me his reason for being so adamant and unreasonable.


    ¡°Luna-¡±


    I walked off at a close run before Beta Jones could even say his next words. My wolf felt offended  by Riley¡¯s cold attitude. We might not be destined mates but we have a connection. We did the proper mating rituals and even got married at the small church in the pack. Five months after the birth of Alexander, we were able to consummate our marriage and the connection was madeplete. I have tried to be the best wife to my husband and a good mother to my children. But even after all these years I still don¡¯t understand why Riley seemed so distant from me.


    Riley doesn¡¯t tell me things even as the Luna of the pack. He prefers to share it with his old friends especially theta Jenny. They are so close that I often get jealous but there is nothing I can do about it. I have to always find out what¡¯s going on in his head either from theta Jenny or Beta Jones which is pretty annoying.  And to top it all, Riley and I hardly get intimate. I have tried so hard to make us have another pup of our own before we adopted Elena but Riley¡¯s avoidance won¡¯t make things work out. I gave up trying to give birth after Riley made it clear about not wanting me to have another pup. He said that he doesn¡¯t want me to go through the pain of delivery again. Riley imed that he can¡¯t bear to see me in pains but staying away and not seeing me as someone he could confide in are a whole bundle of pains.


    Most times if I am in heat, I have to use medication and stay at home for days. If it happens that Alex is around, I have to stay locked up in my room and control my arousal. The heat medication has been my solution because my husband doesn¡¯te home that much. I remember texting him during heat that I couldn¡¯t bear it and I wanted him. The response I got was sending Theta Jenny to give me more medication, keep mepany and put me to sleep. Alex was still so young that year, so I had to stay in the bathroom. Hearing theta Jenny knocking on the door made me send a threat to my husband. I told him that I was going toe out into the opening ande find him.


    And fortunately my threat worked on him. I only opened the door after I heard him sending off theta Jenny. Riley knew the consequences of a wolf in heating out in the opening. My arousal would definitely attract other wolves around and he would have to watch the lust in their eyes and the image of them sexing the Luna in their heads. Well the threat worked for a couple of months before I settled and epted my fate of using the heat medication.


    This is how I have been living my life throughout the years with the man I married. Sometimes, I doubt if Riley truly loves me and I also tried to imagine my life if I had left the pack after the birth of my child.


    Will my life be better than this? Will I have found my destined mate? Will I get the chance to see my only child?


    The answers to these questions was so clear to me. I can¡¯t live a good life knowing that my son was being raised without me. Growing up to watch Alexander and Elena has been the best thing that has ever happened in life. I can¡¯t trade my children for anything else in the world. I live for my children. I¡¯ll only be happy if they are happy and doing well.

 EPISODE FORTY SIX

    THEME: Guilty Conscience


    DARK MOON PACK


    Edda¡¯s Point Of View


    I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on but it seemed familiar to me as I made my way to Riley¡¯s office. I was curious to find out answers to the questions I have prepared in my head to ask my husband. Nothing is wrong right? I pondered.


    I cornered into the hallways leading to several offices. I was pretty determined to make Riley speak up today. We have to talk things out together. My heartbeat elerated at each step that I took towards the office. Everywhere was silent and I couldn¡¯t see any wolf around. Everyone must have left to their homes since the meeting has been postponed by the Beta.


    I ced my hand on the door knob but soon withdrew on an impulse. I should calm my wolf down so I won¡¯t end up putting up a fight with my husband.


    ¡°Calm down.. wolfie.¡± I breathed out heavily.


    My wolf ears perked suddenly when I heard Theta Jenny¡¯s voice. I stopped myself from turning the knob but I leaned my ear on the door to hear whatever was going on inside the office. I might find out the problem.


    ¡°Why did you drink so much?¡± Theta Jenny¡¯s voice was loud enough.


    ¡°How is my blood pressure?¡± Riley asked.


    ¡°Your blood pressure is high. I think that might be the reason you passed out. Thank goodness Beta Jones has the spare key into your office.¡± Theta Jenny answered.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t pass out.. after having a bottle of that wine.. I only slept off.¡± Riley¡¯s voice was rough.


    ¡°What are you thinking? You should stop it and go home to have a good rest. Luna Edda must be worried about you.¡± Theta Jenny said in a concerned tone.


    ¡°I can¡¯t go home. And I already told Edda not toe find me.¡± Riley said.


    ¡°I heard Alex found his mate. This is enough reason to be happy. But why didn¡¯t you organize a party for him before he left for college?¡± Theta Jenny questioned.


    Riley didn¡¯t respond. ¡°I am slowly loosing all my senses as a wolf because of too much alcohol.¡± He cleared his throat after some seconds of silence.


    ¡°You should stop now. Tell me what the problem is that¡¯s making you drink so much.¡± Theta Jenny¡¯s voice was loud.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Jenny, what am I going to do? I love Alex but he can¡¯t be mated to his mate. It is so wrong. The more I think about it.. I can¡¯t bring myself to face my family¡­ because of what I have done.¡± Riley stuttered.


    What has he done? What is Riley hiding from me? Why can¡¯t Alex end up with his mate?


    ¡°Why are you against your son¡¯s mate?¡± Theta Jenny demanded.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know? Come on Jenny, you should know.. my reason.¡± Riley sniffed as if he was crying.


    ¡°What are you talking about?¡± I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion at Jenny¡¯s words.


    ¡°Edda.. this is about her. Do you remember the incident from twenty years ago?¡± Riley added.


    Twenty years ago? I was found by him and bear my first pup. What else could have happened that year which I don¡¯t know.


    ¡°Edda doesn¡¯t remember anything about her past. Years has gone by now so you should stop worrying about it.¡± Theta Jenny said in a low tone.


    ¡°No.. no.. I haven¡¯t been able to forget it.¡± He stopped.


    What do they know about my past? I can¡¯t remember anything. I only know that my old pack wasn¡¯t found and nobody showed up to im me.


    ¡°Riley-¡±


    He cuts her off. ¡°I can¡¯t hide the truth from her anymore. I have lived with this guilt long enough. And each time I look at Edda and Alex.. my heart judges me for what I have done.¡±


    I ced my hand on the door knob. I can¡¯t wait anymore because I want to know what Riley has done years ago to make him feel guilty.  But I stopped when I heard his voice again.


    ¡°Alexander¡¯s mate.. is from ck moon pack and she is the alpha¡¯s daughter. Kayden Scott is her father. Her name.. her name.. is Avery.¡± Riley stammered.


    ¡°Wait.. if she is Kayden¡¯s Scott.. daughter.. I mean the same one I.. no we both know..¡± Theta Jenny paused and soon I heard a gasp. ¡°Impossible! Kayden named his child after his ex mate! And it only means that Avery is also Alexander¡¯s.. step sister!¡± She reasoned.


    What?! My mouth dropped in shock at the revtion. I was confused. What does she mean by Alexander¡¯s mate is his step sister?!


    ¡°Incest!¡± Riley blurted out.


    Without thinking I opened the door and bursted into the room. Howe they know so much about ck moon pack? I couldn¡¯t rte the story in my head.


    Riley and Theta Jenny stared at me with wide eyes. They were both shocked to see me.


    Riley stood up from the chair immediately. ¡°Edda.¡±


    ¡°Luna.¡±


    They both called me respectively.

    Without thinking I opened the door and bursted into the room. Howe they know so much about ck moon pack? I couldn¡¯t rte the story in my head. Riley and Theta Jenny stared at me with wide eyes. They were both shocked to see me.


    Riley stood up from the chair immediately. ¡°Edda.¡±


    ¡°Luna.¡±


    They both called me respectively.


    ¡°What did I just hear you say?¡± I asked.


    Theta Jenny and Riley exchanged nces. ¡°Listen Luna, I.. I.. was trying-¡±


    I silenced her with a raise of my palm in the air. ¡°I heard you.. saying something about my son being mated to his stepsister. I can¡¯t-¡± I paused to look at Riley.


    He was looking so rough. Dark circles beneath his eyes to show that he hasn¡¯t been sleeping much and stubbles on his cheeks lining with his jaw. He hasn¡¯t shaved for days. I saw bottle of winesying on the floor in the office.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°Edda.. I am sure you must have heard the wrong thing.¡± Riley said.


    Theta Jenny nodded her head in agreement. ¡°We were just talking about his blood pressure.¡± She fidgeted.


    ¡°Don¡¯t fucking lie to me! I heard everything! But I can¡¯t.. I can¡¯t.. rte the whole story!¡± I gritted my teeth.


    ¡°Edda-¡±


    ¡°How did Alex¡¯s mate be his step sister? What are you hiding from me?!¡± I snapped at him.


    Riley turned away and ran his hand through his hair. ¡°Leave Jenny.¡± He said.


    ¡°Stay Jenny.¡± I countered knowing that Jenny is involved in this matters. She knows too much about it.


    ¡°Please leave us alone, Jenny.¡± Riley ordered.


    ¡°Nobody leaves this room until I know the truth!¡± I said in a slightly raised tone.


    Theta Jenny was confused not knowing who to obey. Riley made a quick turn. ¡°Leave Jenny! It is an order!¡± He grimaced in amanding tone.


    I knew I had lost in the game ofmand because Jenny owes her loyalty to him as the alpha. Theta Jenny avoided my gaze as she scurried out of the room. My hands were trembling as I failed at clenching my fists.


    Riley¡¯s head dropped and his hands gripped the edges of the desk. I waited for him to say something but instead he reached for the empty bottle of wine on the desk and threw it at the nearest wall. I didn¡¯t move from that spot even as I felt something cut through my upper arm.


    Riley¡¯s turned his back at me. ¡°You should go back home, Edda.¡± He said.


    ¡°What?! Are you joking?¡± I scrunched up my face.


    ¡°What do you want from me?!¡± Riley raised his voice at me for the first time in years. Thest time he did was when he questioned me about my identity.


    ¡°I am going no where! Riley, I want nothing but the truth! What are you hiding about my past? What do you know about ck moon pack? And.. how did Avery be our son¡¯s step sister?!¡± I demanded.


    Riley ran his hand through his hair before cing both hands on his waist. ¡°You want to know the truth? Can you handle it if I tell you everything?¡± He asked in a tight whisper.


    ¡°It is hard enough that my son is getting dragged into a past that I don¡¯t even know. But still, I want to know the truth.¡± I seethe my teeth in anger.


    Riley shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you the truth.¡± He breathe out.


    I tried to brace myself up for the truth but nothing worked. I could feel my legs growing weak already. What if I can¡¯t really handle the truth!


    ¡°I am not Alex¡¯s biological father.¡± Riley said after some minutes of total silence.


    I couldn¡¯t help theughter that escaped my throat. I started towards the table. ¡°You are joking right?¡± I mmed my hands on the desk so fast as theughter faded off too soon.


    ¡°It is the truth! I am not his father!¡± Riley grounded out.


    ¡°What?!¡± I gasped out.


    ¡°Listen Edda-¡±


    I interrupted him. ¡°If you are not his father-¡± I paused trying to think of every possibility of this man not being the father of my child. It was hard to evenprehend the truth.


    The contract. I signed the contract with him and it stated that I would hear him a pup, leave after a year and he would provide me a good life somewhere far away. I slept with him in heat, a perfect time to conceive and weekster I was confirmed pregnant. I was certain that I have never been with any other wolf even after I met him. I tried to think about the possibilities again.


    ¡°If you are not.. Alex¡¯s father then who.. fathered him?¡± I asked in a low tone.


    ¡°Your ex mate fathered him.¡± Riley answered.


    I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. ¡°My ex mate? I had a mate? Unbelievable.¡± I turned away from him. ¡°This can¡¯t be happening. Stop.. stop ying with me.. Riley.¡± I touched the sides of my head. ¡°I know you and Alex don¡¯t get along well but.. it is not enough to deny him.¡± Tears streamed down my cheeks. I have been trying so hard not to cry but I can¡¯t help it anymore.


    ¡°This is not about I and Alex not getting along well. I am only telling you the truth. I can¡¯t produce a pup.¡± He blurted out.


    I turned to face him immediately. ¡°What.. what do you mean?¡± I stuttered.


    ¡°When I was young, I had Mupanim which made me unconscious for several months. The virus spread throughout my body because we couldn¡¯t afford to hire a skilled theta from outside the country. The healer back then was only able to keep me alive temporarily through herbs.¡± He exined.


    This isplicated! How can he not produce a pup?! His mate. What about her? Riley thought his mate was carrying his pup even though it belonged to his beta. What on earth is going on?! This is a twisted truth. Perhaps did Riley lied to me back then? I mused.


    Mupanim? I am very much aware of this disease. It is one of the deadliest diseases that shouldn¡¯t infect a wolf. The virus isn¡¯t contagious but it is very dangerous. If a wolf is diagnosed of Mupanim then it is most likely to be a death sentence if cure or proper medication is not administered. This virus is also capable of crippling a werewolf.


    ¡°The cure was sent to our pack within those months. And I only managed to survive because of my strong immune system all thanks to the alpharic genre in me.¡± He narrated.


    ¡°So what.. does Mupanim has to do in this matter?¡± I demanded shakily.


    ¡°The cure was administered but I have to live my whole life on medication. I grew up so well and healthy but the disease had made me sterile.¡± Riley sniffled.


    I was surprised by the revtion so I asked the question on my mind. ¡°You are sterile.. but you still choose to believe that your mate was carrying your pup. Did you lie to me about her?¡±


    Riley avoided my gaze immediately. ¡°I am sorry, Edda.¡± He whispered.


    ¡°What are you sorry about?!¡± I asked as more tears streamed down my face.


    ¡°I lied. I have lied to you about almost everything. My mate.. didn¡¯t drown in the pool. The moment she found out that I can¡¯t produce a pup.. she changed up on me. I knew she was cheating but wasn¡¯t aware that it was with my beta. When I found out she was pregnant.. I still tried to believe that the pup could be mine but she threw it at my face that I am sterile. The moment she and the beta realized that I wanted them dead¡­ they both ran away from the pack and I haven¡¯t heard from them since that time.¡± He recounted.


    It pained me that Riley had lied to me. Finding out the whole truth was slowly breaking me into pieces.


    ¡°So fine¡­ you lied but why did you ask me to bear you a pup if you are sterile? Nobody showed up to im me but how did you find out I had a mate? I want to know everything.¡± I reached out to wipe my face but the tears didn¡¯t stop flowing.


    The realization that I have been living in lies was heartbreaking. And still it kind of seemed familiar. I feel like I have once been in this position of a loved one lying to me and me asking for the truth. I feel like I have lived this life in the past. Maybe it is all in my head? Or possibly it could be something from my past.

    Edda¡¯s Point Of View


    The realization that I have been living in lies was heartbreaking. And still it kind of seemed familiar.

Or possibly it could be something from my past.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Riley ran his palm over his face before looking straight into my eyes. ¡°When I found you and brought you to the pack, Jenny told me that you must have a mate but I didn¡¯t believe it. There was no mating mark on your body to confirm her instincts. When Jenny couldn¡¯t heal you, I requested for a powerful healer to check you and the healer stated that you have a mate and you are pregnant. But she the healer didn¡¯t tell me this until you regained your consciousness and can¡¯t identify yourself.¡± He paused to study my expression.


    I couldn¡¯t utter a word but all I did was cry my eyes out.


    ¡°You were tested and the brain result showed that you are suffering from amnesia because of the fall and you might never be able to regain your memory. I still doubted the healer that said you are pregnant so we decided to run another test. And result proved that you are carrying a pup in your womb.¡± Riley said.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me the truth?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I hid the truth because it might affect you.. I mean your mental state. How did you end up pregnant without a mate mark? I thought you tried tomit suicide by falling down the cliff probably because of the baby. But Jenny told me not to make assumptions and she suggested that I look into your background.¡± Riley answered.


    ¡°So you found.. out that I really do have a mate?¡± I sniffed.


    Riley nodded. ¡°Yes.. I found him but it was tooplicated to even tell you about it. I attended the alphas meeting where it was presented that an alpha lost his daughter and we should send our condolences. And it turned out that I am a close ally to your native pack and a good friend to your father.¡±


    Another wave of tears flowed. ¡°What¡¯s the.. name of my father? And the name of my native pack?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Your father¡¯s name is Lance and the name of your pack is moonlight. I travelled to give my condolences to a good friend and with a mission to find the truth. Your father showed me your pictures and he exined that you rejected your mate after finding out that he cheated on you with his best friend who was also carrying his pup in her womb.¡± Riley opened the drawer and brought out a picture.


    ¡°This is a picture of you that I took from your father without him knowing about it.¡± He added.


    I sobbed uncontrobly. So my mate did all that to me.


    ¡°Your mate chased you down the cliff so you wouldn¡¯t leave him. But you rejected him at that point and mistakenly fell off the cliff. You were running away because you didn¡¯t want him anymore. It was hard for you to believe that he could cheat on you. So I decided to help you forget your pastpletely, to protect you and also for my own benefit.¡± Riley passed the picture to me and I reached out to take it.


    ¡°Since I can¡¯t produce a pup that would take over the pack when I am gone.. so I decided to ept your pup as my own. I took you in and also formted a contract in my head. You started showing signs of pregnancy but you called it heat. I didn¡¯t give you the heat medication because it would destroy the growing pup. And I saw it as a chance to make a fast move on you. The heat was a perfect timing to have sex and im your child. Thankfully, you epted my offer and it worked out as I have nned it.¡±


    I swallowed hard. ¡°I should.. I should have known. You.. didn¡¯t get intimate with me.. after that time. You avoided me.. and-¡±


    Riley cuts me off. ¡°I didn¡¯t let you leave the pack on purpose even when you made it clear that you wanted to stay. You were assumed dead so I knew it would be in torture if you are found by someone who knows you. I intentionally kept you around because of this secret.¡±


    I stared down at the younger version of me. I have been living a fake life. ¡°So.. my ex mate¡¯s name is Kayden Scott and he is the alpha of ck moon pack. So.. in a long run, Kayden.. is Alex and Avery¡¯s father.. and they are both mated to each other.¡± I reason loudly.


    ¡°The woman Kayden slept with bear him a female wolf before you gave birth to Alexander.¡± He muttered.


    This realization was driving me insane. ¡°This is impossible. How can they be mated to each other? The.. the.. moon.. goddess can¡¯t pair siblings up.¡± I mumbled saying my thoughts loud.


    ¡°Exactly! This is why I am against this mating!¡± Riley pointed out.


    I stood still on a spot without looking up at him. ¡°My mate cheated on me and I ran off¡­ but I ended up with a maniptor.. and a liar.¡± I stopped but still thinking out loud. ¡°So it is true that.. the devil you know yesterday is better than the Angel you just met.¡± Ipleted.


    ¡°I am sorry, Edda. I have lived with this guilt over the years which has ate deep into my heart. I shouldn¡¯t have hid the truth from you.¡± Riley said in an apologetic tone.

    ¡°I am sorry, Edda. I have lived with this guilt over the years which has ate deep into my heart. I shouldn¡¯t have hid the truth from you.¡± Riley said in an apologetic tone.


    Finding out the truth is in torture to me. The picture slipped off my hand. ¡°Tell me the truth, Riley.¡± I looked up at him. ¡°Did you ever love me, Riley?¡± I whispered.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    These words sounded familiar in my head but I don¡¯t remember how, why, when and where I had used it. Riley didn¡¯t answer me.


    ¡°It is her right? Leah, you can¡¯t possibly get over her.¡± I cried covering my face.  Why do I have to go through this pain? Don¡¯t I deserve to be happy?


    ¡°Alex and I must have constantly reminded you of the fact that you can¡¯t bear a pup. But.. I would have appreciated the truth from you even though it would hurt me.¡± I sobbed.


    ¡°I know.. I was selfish.. but I was only trying to protect you.¡± Riley muttered.


    I shook my head slowly in disagreement. ¡°No.. no.. this is no fucking protection! Twenty years Riley! I have been with you for good twenty years but.. you never for once made.. me feel like I deserve you! It is always about Leah! Leah! Leah! In thest twenty years.. I have lived as her shadow! I desperately waited for the day you would see me as someone who truly deserve a chance into your heart! Riley-¡± My voice broke off and I bit my lower lip to stop the tears but it didn¡¯t work.


    ¡°I tried.. Riley.. I tried.. I really tried my best.. to be a good wife. I begged you to love me.. I begged you to see me as a wolf worthy to be your mate but you were always so distant from home. I can¡¯t count how many I had to cry myself to sleep because of you. So tell me, is twenty years not good enough to prove that I love you so much?!¡± I yelled at him.


    I breathed out heavily expecting him to say something. I was hoping that he would say that he fell in love in the process or that he never meant to hurt me in any way. Just something to assure me that twenty years wasn¡¯t in vain. But all I got was absolute silence. It only means that I shouldn¡¯t expect anything good toe out from this conversation. I was heartbroken and my wolf was dejected.


    ¡°My son.. my son..¡± I broke down in tears and slowly started towards the door. ¡°How can he be mated to his step sister? They can¡¯t be mated to each other.¡± I sobbed.


    ¡°Edda.. wait! You are bleeding!¡± I heard him calling out to me.


    No one would ever love me no matter how hard I try. Maybe it is all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have left my mate¡¯s pack.


    Riley caught up with me too quickly and grabbed my shoulders. It was as if I couldn¡¯t see him. ¡°You are bleeding!¡± He coaxed.


    I jerked free from his hold and continued walking off. The revtion was a huge blow on me. So what would happen to Avery and Alexander?


    Riley grabbed my wrist and spun me into his arms. ¡°Edda..¡± he whispered.


    That¡¯s not even my name. I am Avery Lance. How did I leave a cheater only to end up with a maniptor?


    ¡°I am sorry. Please forgive me. It was selfish of me to have used you for my own benefit.¡± He pleaded.


    How do I tell this story to my son? Would Alex ever ept the truth and let go of his mate? My son. He doesn¡¯t deserve this. He should remain happy.


    All of a sudden I pushed Riley away from me. ¡°This is all your fault!¡± I screamed.


    ¡°I know.. but please forgive me.¡± He begged.


    ¡°I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! So don¡¯t you ever show your face to me again!¡± I pointed at him before running off.


    I should find my son. Alex needs to know the truth. But instead of me to head to the pack house, I found myself running into the woods until I reached a body of water. It was the same one Riley had found me.


    ¡°Edda!¡± I heard his voice echoing my name in the woods and more footsteps were approaching me.


    ¡°Alex.. he needs to know the whole truth.¡± I started walking into the water. I knew I was hallucinating the presence of Alex in the water but I couldn¡¯t bring myself out of it.


    I was desperate to see my son. ¡°If I cross over to the other side.. that¡¯s his college then I¡¯ll see my precious son. Yes! Alex! Wait for me! I have to tell you something! Where is Avery?!¡± I screamed.


    ¡°Edda! Pleasee back! She is out of her mind!¡± I heard him say.


    I looked back and saw Riley and four other wolvesing after me. I walked faster in the water until it reached my waist.


    ¡°Alex! Can you hear me?! Come to mommy! Oh my boy! I love you so much!¡± I giggled loud as I saw Alex in my vision. It made me happy that my son was here to save me.


    But all of a sudden, the water overshadowed me. My legs gave way and I could feel myself drowning deeply into the water. I went down deeper, deeper and couldn¡¯t save myself. I didn¡¯t get to see my son before loosing my consciousness.

    BLACK MOON PACK


    Avery¡¯s Point Of View


    Avery! Avery! Avery! I heard a rush of water. A loud thud echoed in my head then another bang on a door, a firm touch on my shoulder and I was being shaken vigorously. And slowly I opened my eyes that are heavy and the first person gaze I met was Kayden¡¯s.  I have just been pulled out of a bathtub that was over flowing with clean water.


    ¡°Avery.¡± He mumbled and carried me out of the bathtub.


    ¡°Is she okay?¡± I heard another set of familiar voices.


    I saw Luna Beatrice and Katherine at the door. I was surprised to see all of them. My gaze flickered back at the bathtub as realization hit me straight in the face. Did I just slept peacefully in the bathtub?


    ¡°Avery, can you hear me?¡± Kayden sat me down on the cold floor and he embraced me tightly.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°I was scared when you didn¡¯t open up the door. I thought.. I thought.. you had done something bad to yourself. Please say something.. Avery.¡± Kayden rushed out his words.


    Wait Kayden?! How did Ie back to him?! I thought. And all of a sudden I pushed him away and crawled backwards and far away from him until my back hit the tiles. I curled up my kneels, goosebumps forming on my skin and my body trembled vehemently from cold.  I looked down at myself, I was dressed in a ck lingerie and bra. Slowly I touched my body, my face skin but I couldn¡¯t feel wrinkles-it was so smooth.


    ¡°She is cold.¡± I heard Luna Beatrice voice.


    ¡°Towel..¡± Kayden came to me and covered my body with a towel.


    No.. I don¡¯t want to feel his touch on my skin. So I did what came to my mind as he crouched down in front of me.


    ¡°Avery-¡± I pushed him so hard.


    ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± I screamed.


    He fell backwards, far from where I sat down. ¡°Don¡¯t..e.. close to me.¡± I said shakily as I held the towel tightly around my body.


    What just happened to me? How did I end up with Kayden again? Perhaps am I living two lives now? Am I sharing a body in two worlds? I pondered.


    Some minutes passed in silence, I nced up to see Kayden sitting up and his keen eyes watched me. I stood up abruptly, went passed him and rushed to the mirror. I was in my younger self, the same one I had seen in the picture Riley handed over to me. The same girl in the picture he had stolen from my father.


    ¡°What happened?¡± I muttered, looking so confused at my reflection in the mirror.


    ¡°You have been locked up in the room for about three days. We had to break down the door because Kayden couldn¡¯t feel your connection anymore.¡± Luna Beatrice exined.


    Slowly I stepped away from the mirror and ced my hands at the sides of my head. The towel dropped from my body as memories tried to flood my mind¡¯s eye.


    ¡°No.. no.. this can¡¯t be happening..¡± I have been out for three days but I travelled in trance for twenty years.


    I closed my eyes to remember myst moment with Kayden¡¯s family and also try to figure out where this vision all started. Everything I saw came as a vision but might be a another warning to me.


    In a rush, clear images filled my mind. Thest thing I remembered was alpha Scott yelling at his son. If Kayden is apologizing then it means that he truly cheated on me with his best friend. And I also recalled my decision to leave rather than wait around for Corinna to take my life just like I have seen it in the vision. So I realized that the vision must have started when I formted an escape n.


    ¡°You.. truly cheated on me with.. Corinna.¡± I said in a rasp.


    ¡°Avery.. please forgive me.¡± Kayden made an eye contact with me.


    So if I run away the same way it happened in the vision then I would go through everything over again in reality.


    I have read so many supernatural books that tells about superpowers. I have seen wolves with extra ordinary abilities and I have studied how it works. At this point, I havee to realize that I am a wolf without superpowers but I have a second sight ability.


    Second sight is a form of extra sensory perception whereby someone can perceive information in form of a vision mostly about the future before it happens in reality.


    I had dreamt about a she wolf having a pup for my mate and it happened. So witnessing twenty years of my life in the space of three days only means that if I ignore then it would surelye to pass. No! I can¡¯t let this happen! How can step siblings be mated to each other? For the secrets to be unveiled? For me to know the dangers ahead? Kayden¡¯s voice interrupted my train of thoughts.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you the whole truth.¡± Kayden reached out to grab my waist and he embraced me tightly.


    ¡°You had a rtionship with Corinna before you met me. And it all started when she was in heat.¡± I exined the truth I had seen in the vision.


    Kayden looked up at me. ¡°How did you know?¡± He asked, a surprised look on his expression.


    ¡°I know everything.¡± I muttered not wanting to narrated how and the twenty years journey.


    This vision made me realize that there is no perfect mate anywhere. Every wolf is just trying to be good and better for their destined mate. If I leave a cheating mate I might possibly end up with a maniptor and a liar. Thest thing I wanted is to lose my whole to someone like Riley and also have my child dragged into this mess.


    ¡°Would you please find it in your heart to forgive me?¡± Kayden pleaded.


    It is surprising how I am not even feeling any form of emotions towards him. My wolf must have cut off the connection between us temporarily. I knew she is finding it hard to ept him again because he had disappointed us even after we forgave him for the abuse.


    And I reached out to detach myself from his hold. ¡°I might forgive youter on but we need sometime apart. I know we¡¯ll learn to value whatever we have if we are miles away from each other.¡± I said.


    ¡°No.. no.. Avery you can¡¯t leave me.¡± Kayden got on his feet.


    ¡°I still have so many things to do for myself. I don¡¯t want to end up wasting years of my life and living in regret.¡± I looked at his mother and sister. They couldn¡¯t talk but their eyes said it all-I should forgive him.


    ¡°Listen Avery, I promise to-¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t make anymore promises to me. I don¡¯t want to hear it. And don¡¯t push me too hard or I¡¯ll be forced to do what my heart is telling me to do.¡± I interrupted him.


    A knowing look registered on his face. ¡°Please don¡¯t reject him.¡± Luna Beatrice begged me.


    ¡°How long do we have to stay apart?¡± Kayden asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. It might possibly take a long time, one year, two years or even five years¡­ I can¡¯t say. And no matter how long it is don¡¯t try to find me if I don¡¯te looking for you.¡± I answered in a low tone.


    ¡°Avery, I can¡¯t live-¡±


    ¡°Without you.¡± Ipleted his intended statement. My wolf is pissed but I am trying to calm down.


    ¡°You should focus on Corinna and your unborn pup. She needs your support at this point in time. Goodbye, Kayden.¡± I walked out of the bathroom.


    I didn¡¯t hear any word from them as I got dressed, packed my bag and left the room. I wasn¡¯t escaping and neither did I reject my mate. I was leaving for good. The only thing I have left with me was my little pride. I also have to finish up my education as nned. Project should keep me busy and distracted from thinking about my mate.


    I took out my cellphone to make a call to my family. When I hit the highway, I was lucky to find a taxi into town. Fortunately, each of my family members were around having dinner so I switched to video call to see their faces.


    I expressed how much I love and appreciate their efforts in helping me achieve my dreams. I did a great job at hiding my tears as I exined few things to them. Just to protect my mate¡¯s reputation, I lied about not being ready to settle down because I still want to get a master¡¯s degree.


    My father scolded me for denying my mate his right to consummation and he tried to order me to return back to ck moon pack and make up with my mate. But my mind was made up, we need this space.


    My mom promised to attend my graduation but I told her not to bother about it. My n was to cut myself offpletely from everyone that might lead Kayden to me again. When the call ended I threw the cellphone out through the window. I need some time to clear my head and put my wolf back in one piece. I have to stay focus at least to graduate from college.


    I made a visit to Freddie grave at his family¡¯s cemetery and asked for his forgiveness. I prayed for the safety of my family and also wished Kayden and Corinna well.

 EPISODE FINAL FIFTY ONE

    PART THREE


    (A Deal With An Alpha)


    THEME: Sinir


    BERLIN IN GERMANY


    FIVE YEARS LATER


    Avery¡¯s Point Of View


    Panic set within me few minutes after I realize that my son was gone. I was holding my son right now beside me so how did he end up leaving me? I brought him to the supermarket to buy groceries and now he is out of my sight. If I didn¡¯t get carried away by the call I was making from work then I would still have my son with me.


    My eyes scanned the grocery section but he wasn¡¯t around. He must have wandered off to the other sections. I checked the time only to realize that I hadsted fifteen minutes on talking to my boss. I tried to tell myself not to panic but it didn¡¯t work out.


    ¡°My son..¡± I mumbled, leaving behind the items I had picked from the shelves.


    My son likes me buying him a popsicle so he must be in that section. When I got there, he wasn¡¯t anywhere near the set of freezers. I told myself to stop overreacting that my son is somewhere around.


    He is just a little boy that can¡¯t even speak clearly. He doesn¡¯t know how to take care of himself. Loosing my child has never happened before and we have never been separated.


    I reassured myself that probably a guard must have found him. But I f I don¡¯t see my son in the next two minutes, it is possible I lose my sanity. I raced into the children section where animal toys and extensive collections of miniature cars are being disyed.


    ¡°Sinir!¡± I screamed out when I saw him sitting on the floor with a stuffed wolf toy trapped between his short legs.


    How did he wonder this far to this section with his small legs? I heaved a sigh of relief as he jumped to his feet and ran towards me. I was also running to embrace him.


    ¡°Mama!¡± His small hands spread out and I picked him up. I could almost scream out at the relief of finding my son. He was there in my arms. I blinked back to clear my bleary eyes.


    ¡°Why did you wander off?¡± I said into his ears.


    Sinir held me tightly. It has just been I and Sinir for so long. If anything ever happens to my son, I would surely lose my mind. Sinir pulled back to look at me. And he reached to wipe the tear that had strayed down one of my cheeks.


    ¡°Mama..¡± he kissed my cheeks before pping his hands.


    ¡°I love you.. my boy.¡± I dropped him to the ground to check out my son. He was perfectly fine. I crouched down to his size and hugged him again.


    ¡°I want¡­ the wolf.¡± Sinir pointed at the stuffed toy.


    I looked ahead but it wasn¡¯t there anymore. ¡°I¡¯ll get it for you. Do you want a new car too?¡± I asked him.


    Sinir nodded his head. I roughen his hair and kissed him again even as I carried him up.


    ¡°Luna Avery.¡± I heard someone say.


    I looked away from Sinir to see the person. A well built man stood in front of us with a bright smile on his face. He is a werewolf. I could tell the aura around him but it is definitely not an alpha.


    I furrowed my eyebrows at what he just called me. It has been so long and I am nobody¡¯s Luna anymore. I can¡¯t even recognize the man¡¯s face.


    Is he here to take my son because he is a werewolf? Fierce protectiveness welled up inside of me. I let out a growl and he raised his hand up in surrender.


    ¡°I mean.. no harm.. Luna.¡± He rushed out his words in whisper. He was trying to be cautious because of the humans around.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I am Leon. A native of ck moon pack and I know you so well to be my alpha¡¯s mate.¡± He answered.


    ¡°I am nobody¡¯s mate so I don¡¯t know what you are talking about.¡± I denied.


    ¡°I can smell my alpha¡¯s blood in him. So I know-¡±


    I cut him off. ¡°Stay away from me.¡± I started walking backwards.


    ¡°Wait please! Trust me.. I mean no harm. You don¡¯t need to worry about my identity because I have been out ck moon pack from years now. I only tried to find him after I sniffed his blood in the air. I thought the alpha was around so I could pay my respect to him but I was surprised to find the little boy.  I knew he was lost so I had to keep him busy with the wolf toy until someonees around to find him.¡± Leon exined.


    Okay! Rx Avery.. he means no harm. I sighed in eptance and Leon moved closer only for him to bow his head to us.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°Please.. raise your head.¡± I said.


    It was embarrassing to see the human watch him bow down to us. I have done a great job at hiding our identities for the humans we have lived with for years.


    *****


    After paying for our items, I agreed to have coffee with Leon. I asked the first question that came to my mind.


    ¡°What about Kayden? He must be doing fine with Corinna.¡±


    Leon sipped his coffee before setting the cup down on the table. ¡°The alpha is not doing fine. He hasn¡¯t been himself since you left the pack. Alpha Kayden became a shadow of himself after he came to find you at the college area but you weren¡¯t there anymore. I think it.. was about two months after you left the pack. He resulted into drinking and Beta Paulo had to be the one running the pack with the big alpha those times. He didn¡¯t even pay so much attention to his pregnant mistress.¡± Leon exined.


    I didn¡¯t tell him to live a reckless life. I didn¡¯t expect that Kayden woulde find me. I had envisioned him living a good life with his best friend.


    ¡°Everyone found out the truth the day your parents came to the pack. They had to visit because your phone has been switched off and your social media ounts disappeared. When they discovered the truth, your elder brother James ended up beating up alpha Kayden for maltreating you. Your father almost dered war but Luna Beatrice pleaded with him for forgiveness.¡± He recounted the incident.


    I kept Sinir busy on myps with a popsicle in his mouth. I knew my father was going to take action into his hands if he ever finds out the truth.


    ¡°Alpha Scott didn¡¯t try to save his son¡¯s reputation. He watched your brother beat up the alpha. And everyone gossiped about Corinna in the open spaces. She became the talk of the pack and was given different names for snatching the alpha from his mate. You shouldn¡¯t have left, Luna Avery.¡± Leon drank his coffee again.


    I have never had regrets of leaving Kayden. In fact I am d that I left him anyways.


    ¡°Corinna died after giving birth. Unfortunately, her baby girl also died seven days after her birth.¡± Leon added.


    My eyes widened in shock. I wasn¡¯t expecting such news. Corinna and her baby died?! My jaw droppedpletely.


    ¡°It was a huge blow on the alpha and his family. There was a time he needed you to heal after he drank poison to take his life. So Alpha Scott ordered fourteen of us to look for you but all effort to find you proved abortive.¡± Leon shook his head slowly with a sad look on his face.


    ¡°Is he okay now?¡± I asked. I couldn¡¯t help but feel bad for Kayden.


    ¡°I left the pack three years ago and relocated to Germany with my mate. A friend in the pack has been the one giving me information about the pack. Alpha Kayden is still thinking of you. And he has been ruling the pack for three years now.¡± Leon responded with a shrug.


    I didn¡¯t hear any other words for several minutes until Leon broke the silence.


    ¡°No one knows about him right?¡± Leon pointed at my son.


    ¡°No one needs to know. We have both been doing fine alone.¡± I replied.


    Leon¡¯s phone on the table beeped. ¡°I have to go ahead to meet my mate. She is close by. We have to run our pup¡¯s first scan today.¡± Leon stood up to leave.


    I managed a small smile on my face. ¡°Congrattions.¡±


    Leon smiled. ¡°Wait Leon!¡± I stopped him.


    ¡°Yes, Luna Avery.¡± He said.


    ¡°Promise me that you won¡¯t tell anyone about me and my son.¡± My eyes pleaded with him.


    Leon just simply nodded his head. He said goodbye with a bow and then walked away.

 EPISODE EPILOGUE

    THEME: Forgive and Forget


    BERLIN IN GERMANY


    Avery¡¯s Point Of View


    Right after graduation, I got all my savings in bank, left town and relocated to Germany. I had good result and I was super lucky to get a well paid job in an automobilepany without having an experience in the field.


    I didn¡¯t know I was pregnant until three months had passed. I fainted at work and was rushed to the hospital. I got the news from the doctor that I was pregnant and she marveled at the surprised look on my face. I was still trying to put my life together and heal my broken wolf. How could I be three months gone and not be aware of it? I concluded that I have been too busy to even notice that I haven¡¯t seen my monthly flow for three good months.


    I tried so hard not to think about Kayden when I heard the news. In a bid to survive and build a good  life for my unborn pup. I worked so hard. I stayed away from the inte and tried not to think about my family too.


    When the scan showed that I was going to have a baby boy, I had broken down and sobbed in the ultrasound room. The day I gave birth, I held my son in my arms and could help the happiness in me. I smiled so much and it seemed to be the first time I smiled since I left my mate. The moment my son entered the world, I named him Sinir and made a promise to give him the best life. My son is an amazing creature. He is a happy child and he makes every day an adventure for me. I can¡¯t trade him for anything else in the world.


    I had no one by my side throughout the years. It has just been me and my four years old son. I am that single mother in the residential area. It is enough that everyone gossiped about me having a child without a husband. If only they knew what I had left behind and how I have worked so hard to acquire my fortunes.


    About two years ago, I had to leave the residential area and bought a house somewhere close to the beach. There are no much people around and it is so peaceful. I am d that I am living a good life with my only son.


    *****Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    I was dozing on the couch after putting Sinir to sleep when the door bell rang. I repositioned Sinir on the couch so he could sleep soundly. I went to answer the door knowing that it would be the pizza I had ordered for my son.


    But I nearly fell over at the sight of Kayden Scott on my porch. I must be hallucinating his presence in my head again. I would have mmed the door to his face but it didn¡¯t work. I looked down and saw his booted foot stopping the action.


    ¡°Avery.. please.. let me in.¡± Kayden said.


    He has trulye to see me. Kayden Scott is right here in front of me! This is not a dream!


    ¡°Where are you here? How did you find me?¡± I demanded without having a motive to let him in.


    ¡°I am here to see you and.. my son.¡± He answered.


    ¡°Son? I.. I don¡¯t know what you are talking about.¡± I denied.


    ¡°Avery.. please don¡¯t try to push me away. Leon sent me a text about seeing you at a mall. He told me everything.. and he traced you down to this area. That¡¯s why I am here to see you.¡± Kayden exined.


    Damn it! Leon snitched on me because he owe his absolute loyalty to his alpha and not me. I should have been more careful.


    ¡°You should leave, Kayden.¡±  I let down my hold on the door and Kayden used that chance to let himself into the apartment.


    ¡°Avery, don¡¯t do this. I want-¡±


    I interrupted him. ¡°I don¡¯t care about what you fucking want!¡± I raised my voice.


    ¡°Avery, please don¡¯t push me away anymore.¡± He pleaded.


    ¡°Just leave, Kayden.¡± I moved away from him after seeing the remorse that filled his expression.


    ¡°I am sorry, Avery. Please let me make things up to you.¡± Kayden begged.


    I shook my head in disagreement. He looked into my eyes that was clouded with tears. I told him to never look for me. He shouldn¡¯t be here in the first ce. I shouldn¡¯t have give Leon that chance to have a chat with me.


    So I turned towards the door almost at a close run. ¡°You should leave or else I¡¯ll call the cops on you.¡± I threatened.


    ¡°Avery, wait!¡± Kayden caught up with me and mmed his palm in the door before I got to it. ¡°Please Avery.. hear me out.¡±


    I reached for the door knob and tried to open it but he wouldn¡¯t let go.


    ¡°It has been five years, Avery. You asked for space but not rejection. I have waited long enough.¡± He reminded me of thest time frame I had predicted the day I left the pack. It hasn¡¯t been easy but I survived.


    ¡°I want to see my son and be a part of his life.¡± He added in a rasp behind me.


    ¡°Let go of the door, Kayden.¡± I said in a harsh tone.


    ¡°Avery-¡± he turned me to face him. ¡°Please..¡± And his voice trailed off probably surprised to feel that I was shaking despite my bad bitch act that I was trying to put on.


    ¡°Forgive me, Avery.  I never meant to hurt you.. I swear.¡±


    I looked up into his eyes and watched as a tear streamed down his cheek. I tried to side step him but Kayden caged me to the door as he fell on his knees.


    ¡°I am never letting you go ever again. Just give me onest chance to make it up to you. I have changed.. a lot. Look, I haven¡¯t been with any woman since I got intimate with you. It has just been you in my head. And I have been trying so hard to be a better man.¡± He held on to my waist. ¡°Avery please.. onest chance and I won¡¯t ever let you slip through my fingers ever again.¡± Kayden begged in tears.


    I was crying too. ¡°Kayden..¡± I ced my hands on his shoulders and cried even as I rubbed his back. I didn¡¯t know how long we both stayed just crying until we were interrupted by Sinir.


    He sat up on the couch abruptly. ¡°Sinir.. I am right here.¡± I sniffed and he looked at me.


    Kayden stood up and wiped his face. I went to meet my son, carried him and he stopped crying. ¡°I am.. right here.¡±  More tears flowed down my cheeks.


    Kayden had a dazed look on his face when I looked back at him. Sinir has a striking resemnce with his dad. And slowly Kayden started towards us. He reached out his hands to Sinir but he held on to me.


    ¡°I am sorry.¡± Kayden was barely audible.


    ¡°I was stupid for hurting you over and over again when you have never done anything but love me.¡± He held my free hand.


    ¡°I don¡¯t deserve you and Sinir not after everything I have done. But I still love you, Avery. And I swear that I won¡¯t ever let you go again. I¡¯ll be good to you and Sinir. I swear it, Avery. I swear it over and over again.¡± He sobbed.


    I leaned closer and he embraced both Sinir and I. I was crying too but silently as I rested my head on his chest. This man wasn¡¯t the man I knew five years ago. We have both grown and matured.


    ¡°Forgive me, Avery.¡± He mumbled.


    ¡°I forgive you-Kayden.. because I love you.¡± I sniffed.


    Kayden froze and pulled away. ¡°You still love me?¡± He sounded surprised.


    ¡°I have always loved you even when I felt like killing you for hurting my wolf. I love you.. and this is why you are still the only man for me.¡± I answered.


    I have always longed for my mate. Living without him hasn¡¯t been easy but there was nothing I could do. I didn¡¯t want to hurt my pride by going back to the pack to find him.


    Sinir reached out his hands towards Kayden and he carried his son.


    ¡°Let the past be dead. It is just us.. so we should move forward from here.¡± I replied.


    Kayden nodded I agreement. ¡°Thank you for having him.¡±


    I snuggled willingly towards Kayden and he ced a kiss in my hair. ¡°Thank you, Avery.¡± He muttered.


    I knew Kayden was overwhelmed with emotions and I was d that he had taken the bold step toe and find us.


    I looked straight into his eyes and wiped his wet cheeks. Kayden lowered his mouth, brushed his lips against mine and I met him eagerly. One, two, three times and it had to end when Sinir released a fart.


    Kayden and I couldn¡¯t hold back theughter as Sinir looked at us. He giggled.


    THE END.

 EPISODE 1

    THE ALPHA AND THE WITCH


    (My Mate, My Enemy)


    THEME: Alpha King Sky


    DONIA KINGDOM


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    ¡°Rise and bow to the Alpha King!¡± An eunuch instructed in a high tone when I appeared at the entrance of the throne hall. The eighteen officials in my court rose to their feet and bowed their head slightly as I strode towards my seat.


    ¡°The alpha king is seated, you may rise and take your seat.¡± Eunuch Cole announced after I sat down on the judgment seat on the tform that is called The Stone Pavement. (Gabatha in Hebrew)


    I am alpha king Sky, the right prince to the throne of Donia Kingdom. I am a werewolf. My father, king Malcolm died two years ago while my mom passed away when I was just ten years old. It was after her death that my father passed on his alpha title to me.


    My father was devastated, dejected and sad as he mourned the death of his mate. She died in a war against another powerful werewolf pack named Crescent Pack. It was a fight for which pack would rule as a kingdom over other packs.


    Donia pack won the war. My dad defeated the Crescent pack but lost his mate in the process. Alpha Zion of Crescent pack made sure he dealt with my father by taking away his other half ¨C His mate.


    Donia Pack became a kingdom, the strongest in the werewolf world, leaving Crescent pack the second leading pack in the Lycan world.


    I ascended the throne at the age of eighteen after my dad passed away. He had been ill for six months before he died. At that time, alpha Zion once again tried to wage war against Donia kingdom because he knew the alpha king was weak but we outnumbered his war men despite all odds. I had led my warriors to war and my victory proved that I was capable of ruling Donia Kingdom. That¡¯s why till today, my kingdom is not in good terms with Crescent Pack but they have no choice than to ept me as their alpha king!


    ¡°Bring forth the prisoner!¡± Another eunuch on my left side growled out.


    Two hefty warriors dragged in a tattered looking man into the throne hall. He was chained on wrists which connected to his legs and a steel cor around his neck to restrict every attempt to escape.


    I toyed with the ring on my finger. ¡°What¡¯s his offense?¡± I asked the eunuch.


    Eunuch Cole read out the statement documented in a scroll by the head of warriors. ¡°He was caught in the woods by a guard on a night patrol. He had weapons on him, knives to be precise and suspected to be a spy.¡±


    ¡°When was he captured?¡± I questioned, looking straight at the suspect who grinned deviously when our eyes met.


    My cold eyes sized him up. Stubborn, stone hearted and due to his big form, one could tell that he was one of the strongest warriors in whatever pack he came from.  I didn¡¯t miss his confidence and defensive stance despite the chains on him.


    His eyes bore into mine and my wolf hated being disrespected by a low wolf!  No doubt the suspect was ready to fight anyone if not for the silver chains obstructing him from transforming into a wolf.  One of the reasons why I introduced little silver to be used on prisoners, it would weaken their wolves and render them powerless in human form.


    ¡°My Lord,¡± Cullen, the head of warriors stepped forward and bowed his head slightly. ¡°We found him lurking around our territory three days ago and obviously he isn¡¯t someone from our kingdom. And through our investigations, I found out that he is a spy.¡± He exined further as two warriors brought in bunch of knives in a tray. ¡°My Lord, we found all these weapons strapped on his body and a notepad.¡± Cullen waved the blue notepad in the air.


    ¡°What¡¯s in it?¡± I asked, trying to calm my wolf from tearing this spy into pieces for trespassing.


    Cullen answered and said. ¡°He surveyed our kingdom, noting every entrances and exits of our kingdom.¡±This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    My head snapped up to look at the man again. He had a smug look on his face as Cullen read out the writings in his notepad. Number of warriors, officials, maids, description of the throne hall and other specific things about my kingdom.


    ¡°He is a spy sent by an enemy. And he awaits your judgment and prosecution.¡± Cullen concluded.


    ¡°Guilty or not guilty?¡± Eunuch Cole asked the prisoner. Silence. ¡°Do you have anything to say before the alpha king passes his judgment on you?¡± Eunuch Cole asked again. No response came from him and my wolf became furious.


    ¡°Bow to the king!¡± A warrior hit him and he fell on his kneels immediately. He yelped in pains as the silver chains burned deeper into his skin.


    I raised up my hands before the warrior could hit the prisoner again. He obeyed and bowed to me in respect. Every three days, all prisoners are presented to the whole court to receive punishment ording to the crimesmitted.


    ¡°Who sent him?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Your highness, he didn¡¯t disclose it to us during interrogation,¡± Cullen replied.


    I chuckled for a second. ¡°Such a strong spy¡­¡± I mumbled, noticing the bruises and number of wounds on his body. ¡°You didn¡¯t disclose the one who sent you despite the torture.¡± I said to him.


    ¡°I can¡¯t betray my pack.¡± The prisoner spoke up finally.


    I smiled. ¡°You are such a loyal pack member.¡±


    The prisoner shook his head in agreement. ¡°Yes I am loyal to only my alpha. And I would rather die than betray my pack.¡± He gritted exposing his bleeding gum.


    Cullen went to him and made a hit for his face. ¡°Do not talk back at the alpha king!¡± He growled out and kicked the man. The prisoner fell forward and yelled in pains again when the silver chains burned him.


    ¡°Well I am pretty sure he knows the rules, but decided to break them.¡± I resumed to toying with my ring.


    The prisoner tried to lean up on his kneels again. ¡°I don¡¯t obey rules because I was born to break them.¡± The prisoner gave me a smug look but it faded quickly when Cullen hit him again. The impact was fierce on his head and it made him coughed out blood.


    I watched the warriors pin him down as Cullen sent a whip on his bare back. And I raised my hand on the seventh whip, ordering the general to stop.


    ¡°Who is your alpha?¡± I requested. Silence.


    ¡°Who ordered you to spy on us?¡± Silence.


    And he was beginning to get on my nerves. He was really testing my patience but I controlled my wolf.


    ¡°How long have you been in this kingdom before you were apprehended?¡± I asked again.


    The prisoner looked up at me with a devious smile ying on his lips. ¡°You want to know alpha king Sky?¡± He said in mockery and once again I cautioned Cullen not to whip him.


    I shook my head in response to his question. ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Well, it took me just two days to gather those information in the notepad. He answered.


    I arched my eyebrows in surprise. ¡°Surprised?¡± The prisonerughed. ¡°Come on. Don¡¯t be surprised alpha king Sky because.. I am a trained spy.¡± He added.


    I sped my hands together and leaned back into my throne seat to listen to more of his words.


    ¡°I am not sorry to say this alpha king, your warriors aren¡¯t trained and you aregging behind in terms of security. And it is obvious you only get ready and prepared when there is war.¡± The prisoner shook his head in pity.


    ¡°Why did you say so?¡± I demanded.

    THEME: death of a spy


    DONIA KINGDOM


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    I sped my hands together and leaned back into my throne seat to listen to more of his words.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    ¡°I am not sorry to say this alpha king, your warriors aren¡¯t trained and you aregging behind in terms of security. And it is obvious you only get ready and prepared when there is war.¡± The prisoner shook his head in pity.


    ¡°Why did you say so?¡± I demanded.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the answer obvious? A mere spy was able to break into your territory and act like a guard for two days. I would have escaped and seeded in my mission which would have earned me a great reward from my alpha if that guard on patrol has not suspected that I don¡¯t have a Donia warrior mark on me.¡± The prisoner¡¯s forehead creased as he said that.  ¡°Too bad for a kingdom.¡± He did the tsk tsk sound. ¡°I had even spoken to the head of warriors but he didn¡¯t suspect anything. He even showed me where to get dinner as a warrior.¡± He added.


    I exchanged nces with Cullen who immediately avoided the eye contact.


    ¡°A piece of advice, this man isn¡¯t fit the title of being the head of warriors.¡± The prisoner said with a serious look.


    I clenched my fists and let out a low growl to silence the prisoner. For the first time I saw the fear in his eyes which was caused by my alpha presence and he kept quiet.


    ¡°Forgive me my Lord.¡± General Cullen bowed.


    There is no way I would strip him off his title because of a little mistake of not noticing a spy. He had been a great help to me at war times. He was my father¡¯s personal bodyguard before his death. As soon as I became the alpha king, I made him the head of warriors due to his trained skill and loyalty to the kingdom.


    ¡°You must have too many tasks on your desk for you not to have noticed a spy in our midst.¡± I said.


    ¡°Forgive me my Lord.¡± General Cullen gave me an apologetic look.


    The prisonerughed and it echoed throughout the hall. ¡°My alpha would have killed him for such a mistake.. right here.. with his bare hands.¡± He scoffed.


    ¡°Is that how cruel your so called alpha is?¡± I asked. Maybe I was close to knowing his alpha.


    ¡°My alpha isn¡¯t weak. The prisoner replied.


    Anger crashed over me as he indirectly referred to me as weak. My wolf became impatient, all it wanted was to lunged at the man and kill him without mercy. But I can¡¯t do that, I have to know his alpha! And my wolf withdrew reluctantly at my decision.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask you for thest time, who is your alpha?¡± I demanded with a stoney expression on my face.


    The prisoner gave me a mock smile but it disappeared as soon as it had appeared. ¡°Order your men to kill me because I won¡¯t disclose my alpha¡¯s identity.¡± He said seriously.


    ¡°I won¡¯t hold back -¡±


    ¡°You aren¡¯t fit for that throne!¡± The prisoner blurted out.


    Everyone in the hall gasped out in shock at his words. I clenched my fists, knuckles almost cracking as he said those words.


    ¡°How dare you say such words to your king?!¡± I growled out, my eyes turning ck, veins budging at the sides of my neck as I fought the urge to not let my wolfe out in the open.


    Everyone bowed their heads at my alpha tone. The already knew the worst was toe whenever o switch into this tone. I wasn¡¯t in control anymore but my alpha wolf was on surface. ¡°As the only son of alpha king Malcolm, I am the rightful sessor to the Donia Throne!¡± I snarled angrily.


    What gut does he have to belittle me like that?! I seethed my teeth and passed my judgment.


    ¡°You trespassed into my territory and spy on my kingdom! A great offense in our world! You have spoken sphemy against your king! Another offense purely against the lycanw!¡± I paused, sensing the strong alpha aura radiating around the room.


    ¡°You are hereby sentenced to death!¡± I passed my judgment.


    The throne hall was silence but it soon faded when the prisonerughed it off. ¡°Just like your cruel and incapable father! You just sentenced me to death but I won¡¯t beg you to spare my life like a coward that you are-alpha king Sky!¡± He grimaced.


    I couldn¡¯t hold back my wolf anymore. In a swift movement, I stood up from my throne, pulled out a sword strapped on the nearest warrior¡¯s body and I stabbed the prisoner in his belly. His eyes widened in shock, not expecting his death to be from my hands. Whoever sent him must have told him to say those words to me if he ever gets caught.


    ¡°I can forgive anything but speaking ill of my father I won¡¯t ept!¡± I gritted in anger.


    The prisoner coughed out blood and he nced down at the weapon in his belly when I pushed it in deeply. ¡°When you are dead, lead your spirit back to your pack and ry this message to your alpha. Tell him, I, alpha ling Sky will find him and destroy his whole pack!¡± I snarled.


    ¡°Y.. Yh.. Yhoouu.. wi.. will.. never¡­ fi.. fin.. d.. h.. im.¡± The prisoner smirked.


    I stepped backward and pulled out the sword from his belly. ¡°Rot in hell!¡± Then I ripped off his head with the sword and the rest of his body dropped to the ground. His filthy blood staining the white marble in the hall. And everywhere was silent.


    General Cullen passed me a towel to wipe my hand. ¡°Any pack mark on his body?¡± I asked.


    A warrior ripped off a part of the deceased clothes. ¡°There is a mark on his body.¡± He answered.


    General Cullen moved closer to check it. ¡°I have checked his body during interrogation. It is dragon mark which belonged to the Donia Pack but he never admitted it that he is a Donia member.¡±


    I moved closer to confirmed the mark on his shoulder. ¡°It has faded.¡± I frowned on seeing the light mark on the body. A pack mark never fails except if a female wolf marries another pack member and bonds with her mate.


    I walked back to my throne and wiped my hand with another clean towel. ¡°I want to know who sent him. But for now, let us hold Crescent pack as the prime suspect.¡± My voice echoed in the throne hall.


    No doubt, alpha Zion sent him to spy on my kingdom to see if there was a way to take away my kingdom. He had done it during my father¡¯s reign and I am sure he won¡¯t stop until he have my throne.


    ¡°Clean up this mess, and have someone send his head to Crescent pack for alpha Zion to know that his spy failed his mission.¡± I ordered.


    ¡°Yes my Lord.¡± General Cullen bowed before giving out instructions to his men and they carried out the dead body.


    Maids walked in to mop the hall and in no time everywhere was clean again with no smell of blood in the air. This is the first time a prisoner would be killed  in the throne hall since I became the alpha king.


    My dad did it severally because most of the wolves sent as a spy at that time had foul tongue and wouldn¡¯t give respect to him. I wonder how much the so called alpha would give them to disrespect a whole alpha king who is greater than the alpha himself.


    ¡°Do any of you have anything else to say to the alpha king?¡± Eunuch Cole directed his questions to the officials.


    Old Ben who is my uncle raised his hand. We call him Old Benjamin because he is the oldest official in the Donia Court. ¡°Speak Old Ben.¡± I rubbed my temples.


    He cleared his throat. ¡°Your Highness, killing a member of the Crescent pack without proper investigation means war.¡±


    My eyes darkened once again at his words. ¡°You know the rules andws of the Lycan world better than any of us! So all you have to say is war? Killing a prisoner means war? Even after that imbecile crossed my territory!¡± I snarled.


    ¡°Your highness-¡±


    ¡°Speak no more, old Ben. This is a clear case of trespassing as sphemy! And I can¡¯t overlook the fact that he called me weak and referred to myte father as being incapable!¡± I added furiously.


    Old Ben bowed slightly. ¡°Forgive me, my lord. I didn¡¯t mean to say such words.¡±


    ¡°If it is war, then so be it!¡± I spat.


    The officials began to murmur among themselves. ¡°Silence!¡± Eunuch Cole shouted and they all kept quiet.


    I shook my head at the murmurings of my officials at the mention of war. ¡°You bunch of cowards!¡± They all kept their head down but before then I saw the glint of fear and embarrassment on their faces. I stood up from my throne and walked to the center of the room. ¡°I should consider changing my cab. If you are all afraid of war then step out now!¡± I growled out. No one stepped out because they are afraid to lose their titles.


    ¡°If you are ready for war then gather information about Crescent pack, bring up tactics to get over alpha Zion once and for all without breaking the werewolf rule. Let us meet tomorrow by dawn!¡± I said finally.


    ¡°This meeting is adjourned till tomorrow. Long live the alpha King!¡± Eunuch Cole called out.


    ¡°Long live the king!¡± The officials chorused as I walked out of the throne hall to my chambers.

 EPISODE 3

    THEME: His mate is an enemy


    DONIA KINGDOM


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    ??? THREE DAYS LATER???


    At dawn, I strode into the throne hall where my official were already seated awaiting my arrival. They stood up and bowed in respect to me as I walked gracefully to my throne and sat in it.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°The alpha king is seated, you may rise.¡± Eunuch Cole instructed.


    At the previous meeting which was held a day after I killed the spy, my officials came up with several ways to get rid of alpha Zion but none of it made sense to me. Only old Ben suggested that we send a note to alpha Zion to invite him for questioning. The alpha needs to testify before my court that the spy who was killed wasn¡¯t a member of his pack. And this time I won¡¯t be lenient on him. I won¡¯t hesitate to kill him if I find out that he sent that man to my kingdom. Though it won¡¯t be easy because alpha Zion is a tough cookie and I am pretty sure he would find a way to escape my punishment against his pack.


    On my orders, Cullen sent one of his men to deliver a note to the crescent pack. Surprisingly the warrior returned empty-handed. He stated that alpha Zion is ill, he denied all allegations against him and won¡¯t be able to stand any questioning but he promised to send representatives to defend his pack.


    From the information gathered, I found out that alpha Zion already passed his alpha title to his only child, a female who happens to be an hybrid. She is a werewolf and also a witch. She is an hybrid because alpha Zion¡¯s mate was a witch, a powerful witch who helped him establish a great pack. I really don¡¯t know too much about his mate but I heard she is dead.


    And presently, I was prepared to meet the only female alpha in the Lycan world. No doubt, she would be prideful and cruel just like her father. And possibly rude, greedy and disrespectful like the man who fathered her.


    Several hours passed and I began to lose my patience. What¡¯s taking the representatives so long to get to my kingdom?


    I beckoned to the head of warriors toe close and he did as instructed. ¡°Cullen, are you sure the crescent pack members would show up today?¡± I whispered to him.


    ¡°ording to the note sent by the alpha they promised to meet you, alpha King.¡± Cullen bowed.


    About twenty minutester, a guard stepped forward and whispered something to Cullen¡¯s ear. ¡°My lord, the crescent pack members just arrived.¡± Cullen said to me.


    I sighed. ¡°Bring them in.¡± I straightened my shoulder and rxed into my seat. The guards at the entrance opened up the door for our visitors.


    Six hefty and well built warriors walked in and bowed in respect to me. ¡°Long live the alpha king!¡± They chorused.


    ¡°Rise.¡± I ordered and they obeyed. ¡°Where is your alpha?¡± I asked, feeling disappointed that the she-wolf didn¡¯te with them.


    ¡°Our alpha is ill so he won¡¯t be able to show himself to you.¡± One of them answered.


    ¡°But our new alpha is here to pay her respect.¡± Another warrior added with a bow.


    All of a sudden, my wolf became excited and I tried to calm it but it didn¡¯t listen. The warriors stood on each side to make way for whoever was toe in. My wolf was jumping around and I couldn¡¯t tell what was happening.


    Suddenly, a sweet and ecstatic scent made it way to me and it immediately made my body at ease. My wolf leaped in happiness and I was puzzled. I gasped in shock when a beautiful figure appeared in the hall. The she wolf stopped at once as if she had perceived the same thing I had smelled. I was shocked for a moment before I finally realized what the heck was going on. As she got closer, her emerald green eyes was looking intently at me as if she was looking deeply through my soul.


    ¡°No, she can¡¯t be my destined mate.¡± I mumbled but it came out more of as a whisper. This can¡¯t be happening! She can¡¯t be my mate! She is the daughter of one of the strongest and powerful alpha in the Lycan world.


    Alpha Zion is heartless, he is a murderer and he even tried to take away my father¡¯s throne. He is the greatest enemy of my kingdom! So why did the moon goddess pair me with his daughter?! How can I bring myself to ept the fact that my enemy is my mate.


    It seemed like everyone already knew what was going on between us because they all began to murmur amongst themselves.


    ¡°This hybrid is the alpha king¡¯s mate?¡±


    ¡°The child of a werewolf yer and red haired witch is to be mated to the alpha king?¡±


    ¡°Why did the moon goddess pair our king with an enemy?¡±


    ¡°I think we should be d we will have a powerful Luna to protect our kingdom from evil forces.¡±


    ¡°This is unbelievable!¡±


    ¡°This can¡¯t be happening!¡±


    ¡°Why does it have to be our greatest enemy?¡±


    ¡°I think somethings bad is about to happen in our kingdom.¡±


    ¡°This hybrid is going to be the ruin of the alpha king.¡±


    ¡°She must be evil like the one who fathered her.¡±


    Those were the handful ofments from my officials. I could sense the powerful aura radiating around her and from her look I knew she wasn¡¯t happy with the hatefulments by my officials.


    The crescent pack members had confused and angry expressions on their faces. And slowly the she-wolf and one hefty man walked close to the throne.


    ¡°Long live the alpha king!¡± She bowed with a nk expression on her face.


    I took in my mate¡¯s features as my wolf was trying to stay calm. Tall and slender, long and wavy brown hair, high and rosy cheekbones, pointed nose and a lopsided pink lips. All my wolf wanted to do was to im our mate andplete the bond but it also felt annoyed hearing the hatefulments from my officials. This isn¡¯t a matter to discuss with your officials! No one should talk ill of our mate! My wolf snapped at me.


    ¡°Rise to your feet.¡± I managed to say and she stood upright.


    ¡°I am Mia Zion, the alpha of crescent pack and with me here is warrior Cain.¡± She gestured to the hefty man who had apanied her into the hall.


    Wow! Our mate got a cute name! Mia! My wolf said excitedly.


    I cleared my throat before speaking up again.¡±You are wee to Donia Kingdom. And it is great that you honored my invitation.¡± She bowed again in acknowledgement.


    I beckoned to the Eunuch on my right toe closer. ¡°I want everyone out of this hall. I want to talk to the crescent pack alpha alone.¡± I whispered to him.


    And the Eunuch repeated my words to the every member in the court. They all stood up to leave, murmurings echoed in the hall but only the crescent members stayed behind. I knew they wouldn¡¯t want to leave their alpha alone with me seeing how harsh my officials had been on her through theirments.


    ¡°I would like to speak to your alpha alone.¡± I repeated.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to miss the look on their faces. They looked ufortable leaving their alpha with me. The warrior named Cain exchanged nces with Mia just to ask for her permission to leave. What a loyal wolf! I couldn¡¯t help but let out a snort.


    ¡°Cain, go ahead and check out the body of the spy who they imed to be a member of our pack.¡± She instructed without looking away from me.


    ¡°Cullen, show them the body.¡± I ordered Cullen who bowed before leaving the throne hall with the crescent men.


    Immediately after their departure from the hall leaving just me and my newly found mate, I rose up from my throne and went to her.


    ¡°Oh. What a day! So I am mated to an enemy.¡± I chuckled but it soon faded quickly when I noticed the hurt written all over her expression by my words


    You shouldn¡¯t call our mate our enemy! My wolf growled at me. She is my enemy! I snapped back at my wolf.


    ¡°We are not enemies.¡± Mia replied.


    Anger crossed my expression by her response. ¡°What?! Are we friends? Well I don¡¯t remember being friendly with your father!¡±


    Mia didn¡¯t flinch at my sudden outburst. ¡°Your father murdered my mom! Plus he tried to take away my throne by sending many spies to my kingdom! Do you know what that means? Trespassing!¡± I made a turn around her.


    And once again my wolf tried to scold me for snarling at our mate.


    ¡°My lord, do you have any proof that my fathermitted these crimes?¡± She asked.


    Iughed out and it echoed throughout the hall. ¡°Everyone know about your father¡¯s atrocities! Every alpha in the Lycan world knows that your father has his eyes on my throne. Even the newborn knows your father is a murderer and a greedy alpha.¡± I gritted.


    ¡°With due respect alpha king, I won¡¯t stand you talking ill of my father.¡± She said with her chin high up and straight shoulders. There was no hint of fear in her eyes and all I saw was a cold expression.


    ¡°Oh really?¡±


    Mia nodded in response and turned to face me again. ¡°I was invited to defend my pack and not to witness you talk bad about my father. So your highness, would you please call in your men to present the weapons found on deceased body?¡± She demanded confidently.


    Oh moon goddess! We are blessed with a perfect mate! My wolf jumped happily, impressed that our mate didn¡¯t feel too intimidated by my alpha presence. I don¡¯t want an enemy as my mate! I hate her father! And where is he now? My wolf asked me as I walked back to sit on my throne.


    I whistled, gestured to Eunuch Cole standing with his back turned at us at the door to call in the court members. Mia avoided my gazepletely when I looked back at her.


    ¡°My lord, the men confirmed that the deceased is not a member of the crescent pack.¡± Cullen exined when he came back into the throne hall.


    Cain stepped forward and opened up his sleeve which revealed arge dragon tattoo on his upper arm and the other men did the same too. ¡°This is the crescent pack mark. Our alpha chose a dragon instead of a wolf just to make our pack mark unique.¡±


    It happens to be the same as their war emblem. ¡°My Lord, the deceased isn¡¯t associated with our pack. His mark faded which is not supposed to be.¡± Cain paused and exchanged nces with my mate. ¡°Our alpha has been ill for quite some time now. He is not in a good condition to wage war against a pack lest to talk a whole werewolf kingdom.¡± He added.


    I chuckled deeply. ¡°But he once tried to take my throne.¡± I said, looking straight at the she wolf.


    ¡°My father tried to take your throne but is this supposed to be about just my father? You are sitting right on a mighty throne as the alpha king. Every alpha is envying your throne but it just happened that my father was the only one who had the courage toe for it.¡± She stared intensely at me making it hard for me to think straight for a while.


    Damn! Our mate is gorgeous! My wolf said happily. I could sense it connecting with her wolf but I wasn¡¯t ready toplete the connection. She is my enemy. Stop being stubborn! Our mate needs us! And we have to bond with her so other wolves can stop looking at her. My wolf scolded.


    I looked up and noticed my officials eyes were on my mate. The she-wolf was beautiful. And no doubt the aura around her spells power.


    ¡°My Lord¡­¡± Her melodious tone jolted me out of thought. ¡°I am sure my father didn¡¯t send the spy.¡±


    ¡°And you want me to believe that?¡± I snorted.


    She lowered her head. ¡°Alpha King Sky, you don¡¯t have to believe me now but -¡±


    ¡°Your father is in the ck book of my kingdom!¡± I growled out.


    ¡°Eventually, you¡¯ll have to believe it that my father didn¡¯t send the spy! The pack mark faded on the deceased body, does that not send a deep message to you that someone else is after your throne?!¡± She snarled back at me.


    And gasps from my officials filled the air. ¡°Did she just talk back at the alpha king?¡± Old ben cleared his throat.


    I think our mate has quite a temper. She is perfect for us. My wolf huffed.


    ¡°Forgive me my lord, but I think you should look into this properly. Find out who is the real enemy now that it is obvious that my father can¡¯te after your throne anymore.¡± She said with a stern look at me.


    Everywhere was silent and no word was heard from an official. Could she be right after all? Someone else wants my throne? And now that it is clear that alpha Zion is terribly ill and he couldn¡¯t have sent someone to this kingdom. The dragon-like mark on the deceased body faded too! So what¡¯s going on?!


    All of a sudden, everywhere became noisy. I looked up to see my officials murmuring to one another.


    ¡°My Lord, I think she is right.¡± Xavier said. ¡°Someone -¡± Cullen gestured to him to stay quiet.


    ¡°My Lord.¡± Cain bowed and interrupted Cullen before he could say a word. ¡°We have been able to prove to you that the deceased isn¡¯t a member of the crescent pack.¡±


    Mia shook her head in agreement. ¡°So we¡¯ll take our leave now.¡± She added.


    She is leaving! Our mate is leaving! Will you let her leave just like that? My wolf grumbled. I can¡¯t hold her down. I said within. But what about the kiss of eptance mates are to share at first meeting? I don¡¯t want to do it with her! Okay.. fine ce an order that they shouldn¡¯t leave. That¡¯s impossible! I can¡¯t hold them against their wish! Do something! My wolf stirred. She is an enemy! I snapped back and my wolf resigned to the back of my mind.


    ¡°Alpha king Sky, it is indeed a pleasure to be in your kingdom.¡± Mia said with her chin in the air.


    My eyes did a slow crawl on her once again. ¡°Thank you for honoring my invitation.¡± I replied.


    The seven men and my newly found mate bowed in respect before turning to leave.


    Tell her to wait. You can¡¯t let her leave like that knowing that she is our mate. My wolf mumbled sadly.


    I decided to banter with my wolf internally. ¡°I am sorry. I can¡¯t ept her as our mate.¡±


    ¡®Why?¡¯


    ¡°She is an enemy to this kingdom.¡±


    ¡®But she didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡¯


    ¡°She might want to take my throne the same way her father tried so hard to overthrow my father.¡±


    ¡®She is your future luna.¡¯


    ¡°I am not going to ept her until I find out the truth about this case.¡±


    ¡®What truth?¡±


    ¡°The person who keep sending those spies to my kingdom.¡± I sounded resigned. I know my wolf won¡¯t ept the rejection of my mate.


    The crescent members were already out of hall when I snapped out of thought again.

    Several minutes passed as we went on to discussing other matters that deals with running the kingdom when a guard rushed into the throne hall and went straight to the Cullen and he whispered some words to him.


    General Cullen looked up at me. ¡°My Lord.¡± He bowed slightly.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on Cullen?¡± I demanded with a raised eyebrow.


    General Cullen raised his head. ¡°The future Luna just passed out at the city gate.¡± He answered.


    ¡°What?!¡± Everyone in the throne hall gasped out.


    My heart beat elerated and my wolf began to jump around in worry. Our mate passed out! She just fainted at the city gate! I readjusted my sitting position and leaned forward on the throne seat. I couldn¡¯t help but worry because of my wolf.  ¡°Where is she?¡± I asked.


    ¡°They are at the city gate waiting for your orders to take her to the infirmary.¡± General Cullen exined.


    Damn orders! Instruct them to take her to the infirmary and she should be attended to by the best theta! My wolf snarled at me. Somehow I started to feel uneasy at the news of my newly found mate losing consciousness.


    I nced up at the General. ¡°Let her be taken to the infirmary and let the best theta be the one to tend to her.¡± I instructed Cullen who rushed out with the guard immediately.


    Why did she lost consciousness? Is she alright? Will she be okay? My wolf pestered me with questions I couldn¡¯t give answers to. Won¡¯t you go and see our mate? She need us right now! My wolf was extremely worried. Can you just give me some breathing space! I yelled at my wolf internally. Having to banter with my wolf for it to stay calm is bing so hard since we found our mate.


    I gestured to Eunuch Cole to adjourn the meeting till evening. And everyone filed out of the throne hall. After the officials departure, I didn¡¯t leave the throne hall. I paced to and fro not too far from the throne seat with a worried look on my face.


    Eunuch Cole cleared his throat. ¡°My Lord, will you stop pacing and tell me what is bothering you.¡± He said with concern in his tone.


    ¡°I am extremely bothered about this mate issue. My wolf is making me go crazy because of her and I don¡¯t like it.¡± I stopped pacing to look at the eunuch only to see him smiling.


    ¡°This is great news, my alpha king. The fact that our luna is a special werewolf.¡± Eunuch Cole smiled heartily.


    I raised my eyebrow a little. ¡°Why are you smiling at the mention of her? This is not even funny.¡± I fumed.


    ¡°Well shouldn¡¯t I be happy my alpha king finally found his mate?¡± Eunuch Cole shrugged.


    ¡°Cole, you shouldn¡¯t be happy because you are very much aware that she is an enemy of this kingdom.¡± I tried so hard not to raise my voice at the eunuch.


    ¡°You see her as an enemy but what if she is not what you are thinking? And-¡±


    I interrupted him with an angry look. ¡°Her father tried to take away my throne.¡± I reminded him.


    ¡°My alpha king, your mate didn¡¯t try to take your throne but her father did.¡± Eunuch Cole countered.


    ¡°Her father murdered my mother in cold blood.¡± I clenched my fist. ¡°I can¡¯t forgive him!¡± I spat.


    ¡°Her father is guilty. But you have always wanted to meet your destined mate.¡± The eunuch Cole  reminded me.


    ¡°Why did the moon goddess pair me up with the enemy of my kingdom?¡± I whispered in a sad tone.


    ¡°My alpha king, I need you to understand that her father is your enemy and not your mate.¡± Eunuch Cole said with a straight face.


    I shook my head in disagreement. ¡°His blood runs through her veins. I can never trust someone like her. Never will I let someone like her be close to me.¡± I gritted.


    ¡°She is still your destined mate.¡±  Eunuch Cole added.


    I looked straight in his eyes. ¡°That sly she wolf will only be my mate if I ept her.¡± I retorted.


    Eunuch Cole screwed up his face. ¡°My alpha king, are you nning to reject your mate?¡± He asked.


    I nodded positively. ¡°The enmity between her father and I won¡¯t let me ept her. And who knows what evil n alpha Zion woulde up with if he finds out his daughter is my mate.¡±


    Eunuch Cole bowed his head slightly. ¡°My alpha king, you should consider the fact that the alpha in question is terribly ill and I doubt if he would scale through.¡±


    ¡°I want him dead.¡± I grimaced in anger.


    Eunuch Cole¡¯s head snapped up to look at me with a surprise expression on his face. ¡°My alpha king, it isn¡¯t fair to wish a fellow wolf death.¡±


    I released my clenched fists trying to rx. ¡°You are right. I just don¡¯t want trouble with alpha Zion.¡± I spoke up after some seconds of silence.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think epting your mate would bring trouble to your kingdom. And I think there must be  a good reason why the moon goddess paired you with her.¡± Eunuch Cole said with a serious face.


    I let out a sigh. ¡°Cole, haven¡¯t you had any visiontely?¡± I asked him and he nodded negatively.


    Eunuch Cole is a special werewolf too because the moon goddess has bestowed the power of seeing the future on him. He is like a seer.


    ¡°My alpha king, she is not evil.¡± Eunuch Cole interrupted my train of thought.


    ¡°Wait, did you see me meeting my mate today? I mean.. in one of your visions?¡± I demanded.


    Eunuch Cole bowed his head. ¡°No. I didn¡¯t have such a vision.¡± He answered.


    I sighed heavily. ¡°What do I do? I am really finding it hard to ept her.¡± I resumed pacing.


    ¡°She is gorgeous.¡± Eunuch Cole smiled again.


    I frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare admire my mate!¡± I growled out.


    Eunuch Cole jumped in fear at my sudden outburst. I face palmed myself for yelling at Eunuch Cole that way. ¡°I am sorry¡­ that impulse wasn¡¯t from me¡­ but my wolf.¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°I understand. Your wolf is trying to mark its territory.¡± Eunuch Cole grinned.


    ¡°You are right. My mate is beautiful, special and unique. Plus my wolf approves of us mating her.¡± I admitted.


    ¡°My alpha king, it shows that you want your mate but you can¡¯t ept her for enmity reasons.¡± Eunuch Cole said in a rasp. He must be trying to be careful with his choice of words so I won¡¯t snap at him again.


    I shook my head in agreement. ¡°You are right. I want my mate so badly but I can¡¯t ept her and it is really pissing my wolf off.¡± I stopped pacing again.


    ¡°You don¡¯t want to ept her and at the same time you can¡¯t even stand another wolf admiring her.¡± Eunuch Cole mumbled.


    ¡°Did you notice the way my officials eyes kept watching her? They almost stripped her naked with their eyes!¡± I pointed out with my hands dropping to my waist.


    Eunuch Coleughed. ¡°Don¡¯tugh!¡± I cautioned him.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    ¡°Forgive me, my alpha king.¡± He bowed.


    ¡°What if she doesn¡¯t want me too?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what to say about her. I think she awaits your rejection knowing the hatred that runs deep in your heart towards her father. But what if she turns you into a bird if you reject her?¡± He pointed out.


    My eyes widened when he said that. ¡°You are joking right? Do you¡­ think she will turn me into an ugly animal¡­ If I reject her?!¡± I stammered.


    Eunuch Cole bursted intoughter then I realized he was trying to tease me. ¡°Please forgive me, alpha king.¡± He bowed again.


    I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh of relief. ¡°Stop joking around. This is a serious matter. But do you really think she is capable of hurting me? Wait-what if she truly uses ck magic?¡± I questioned frantically.


    ¡°I am very sure that your mate is not evil.¡± Eunuch Cole answered.


    ¡°You can¡¯t be so sure Cole.¡± I huffed.


    ¡°My alpha king, you are only doubting your mate because of her father¡¯s deeds.¡± I nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Let us look at the brighter side from now on and don¡¯t judge a book by its cover. The she wolf might be of more good to this kingdom than judging her by what her father has done to you. My lord, I suggest you should be concerned about finding whoever sent that spy.¡± Eunuch Cole sounded resigned.


    ¡°You also believe that alpha Zion didn¡¯t send the spy?¡± I asked


    ¡°At this point, I am certain alpha Zion doesn¡¯t have a hand in this mission. The faded pack mark on the deceased proves that he isn¡¯t a member of Crescent pack. I don¡¯t think a weak alpha can have the strength to keep sending spies instead he would be more concerned about getting well again. And whoever sent that spy has failed at pinning it on alpha Zion this time.¡± Eunuch Cole reasoned.


    ***********


    I crashed on the bed after taking a long hot shower which really strengthens me a bit. Izily dragged the bedsheet over my big frame hoping to have a good night rest.


    ¡®Our mate is in the infirmary and you want to sleep!¡¯ My wolf snapped furiously. I haven¡¯t gone to check up on her and that¡¯s because I don¡¯t want to see my mate who is my enemy.


    ¡°Let us not do this tonight. I need to rest to be able to get some paperworks done tomorrow.¡± I silenced my wolf.


    ¡®She is our mate! We need to know if she is fine!¡¯ My wolf said again.


    I tossed and turned on my bed for several hours while my wolf fumbled angrily wanting me to just go to our mate. So in the end, I gave up the idea of sleeping at the moment.


    I hopped out of bed and wore my sleeping robe before grabbing my cloak then I walked out of the room.

    DONIA KINGDOM


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    Everywhere was so silent when I got to the infirmary. Though I already mind linked Theta Zac to let him know that I aming to see my mate. Well don¡¯t be surprised, rumors spreads fast like wild fire and everyone in my kingdom already knows that our enemy, alpha Zion¡¯s daughter is my mate.


    Theta Zac stopped on track and bowed in respect to me when he joined me in the long hallway leading to several wards.


    ¡°Rise up, theta Zac.¡± I instructed and he straightened up to look up at me.


    ¡°My Lord, forgive me for noting to your chambers to check on you.¡± Theta Zac apologized.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright Zac. I understand you have to see to the running of the affairs of the infirmary.¡± I managed a small smile on my face.


    Theta Zac smiled in return. ¡°So¡­ ahm.. ahm¡­¡± I cleared my throat. ¡°So how is she doing?¡± I asked, itching the bridge of my nose.


    ¡°She is fine.¡± Theta Zac answered.


    ¡°Why did she lost consciousness all of a sudden?¡± I asked him.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t detect anything like sickness when I checked her but one of her men admitted that she always pass out each time she has a vision.¡± Theta Zac responded.


    I raised an eyebrow at his words. ¡°A vision?¡±


    Theta Zac nodded. ¡°Yes alpha king.¡±


    I crossed my arms over my chest. ¡°That¡¯s strange.¡± I muttered


    ¡°No, it is not strange. It is quite normal for her kind. Alpha King, I suppose you are aware that your mate is an hybrid which means that a red witch and an alpha blood runs deep in her veins. The power in the red blood makes her weak anytime she sees a vision while the alpha blood only gives her strength to regain consciousness after some time.¡± Theta Zac exined.


    ¡°Oh! Does that mean witches sees visions too like seers too?¡± I mouthed.


    Theta Zac nodded in agreement. ¡°Yes.¡± He bowed slightly.


    ¡°I know that I am not supposed to be here by this time. But can I see her?¡± I requested.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Sure, alpha king. She is in the ward on thest end.¡± Theta Zac pointed.


    ¡°The special ward right?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Theta Zac answered.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be staying for too long. Thank you so much, Zac. I¡¯ll get back to you before leaving.¡± My hands dropped to my side.


    ¡°Alright, alpha king.¡± Theta Zac bowed slightly before walking away.


    I motioned towards the special ward theta Zac had pointed out to me. On getting to the entrance of the ward, I heard hushed voicesing from inside the room. Is she talking with someone? Who could it be? I listened with my enhanced hearing ability.


    ¡°Cain, do you think everything will be fine?¡± I heard my mate¡¯s voice.


    She was talking to Cain! Why is he still with her? I asked general Cullen to get afortable room for the Crescent men so they wouldy their heads for tonight. So why is he still at the infirmary with her at this time?! I pondered.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry alpha-¡±


    She interrupted him. ¡°Come on, Cain. l already told you to drop the formality. Can you stop calling me alpha Mia? I mean.. you are my best friend and I don¡¯t want you being too formal with me.¡±


    Wait! What?! Cain is her best friend? What the heck is going on with these wolves? Why are they close to the extent of being best friends?! I mused.


    ¡°I can¡¯t call you by your name anymore. Everything is different now.¡± Cain answered.


    ¡°Cain, nothing is different now. Look at me, I am still the same Mia.¡± She countered.


    ¡°No, I am not going to address you as Mia anymore. Geez! You are my alpha and you have an extra badge.¡± Cain chuckled.


    ¡°What badge? I didn¡¯t even contest in thest sparring battle.¡± Mia said.


    ¡°I am not talking about any sparring battle. I am saying.. you¡¯ll be a Luna soon.¡± Cain replied.


    ¡°Luna? Cain, I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be a Luna soon. Who knows? I may never be able to be with my destined mate.¡± I could sense the sadness in her tone.


    ¡°Is this about alpha king Sky hating our pack?¡± Cain asked.


    ¡°Do you remember my one and only dream?¡± She spoke up after a long pause.


    ¡°I can never forget your one and only dream.¡± He chuckled.


    What¡¯s that supposed to mean? How much does he know about her? Of course! He must know so much about her because he is her damn best friend!


    ¡°Finding your mate has been your one and only dream.¡± He added quickly and I heard Miaughing softly.


    ¡°Yeah, you are right. I have always dreamed of this day.¡± She said.


    ¡°So do you think I would forget anything that concerns you?¡± Cain asked.


    ¡°You dare not forget anything about me. I am your best friend!¡± Mia said in a raised tone and they bothughed.


    Pang of jealousy stirred within me. She shouldn¡¯t be talking to another wolf like this. To be honest, I envy the closeness between them and I hope there is nothing more going on between these wolves. Even if I end up wanting to ept my mate, I wouldn¡¯t forgive her if she had been with another wolf before she met me.


    Silence¡­.. wait why isn¡¯t she talking? What¡¯s going on inside? Why are they not saying anything?


    ¡°Cain, you should go to bed now.¡± Mia broke the silence.


    ¡°No, I can¡¯t leave you alone in here.¡± Cain countered.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be fine. Don¡¯t forget I am a trained -¡±


    ¡°Warrior.¡± Hepleted her statement.


    ¡°Yes.¡± She said in a low tone.


    ¡°Yeah, I know you have a great fighting skill. You can stand up to any man and you can defend yourself. But this time I am not leaving you here alone.¡± Cain said.


    ¡°Come on Cain, go ahead you need to rest. We have a long way to go tomorrow.¡± She pestered.


    ¡°Alpha -¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t call me that!¡± She silenced him but Cain only giggled.


    ¡°Okay¡­ listen to me, we are in a ce where the people thinks you are an enemy so I can¡¯t risk leaving you here alone when I know anybody can juste in here and hurt you because of the big alpha past deeds.¡±


    Okay.. okay.. now I understand it. He is not leaving that room. And Cain staying with her alone doesn¡¯t sit well with me.


    ¡°Go to bed, I¡¯ll watch you.¡± I heard his voice again.


    ¡°No, I am not feeling sleepy.¡± Mia replied.


    ¡°Okay.. then let us keep talking. I have a lot of things to say though. What about a war story I heard from my grandpa? Which one should I share with you? The boy who cried wolf?¡±


    Several minutes passed before Mia spoke up again. ¡°Cain, how am I supposed to make things right with alpha king Sky?¡±


    I was surprised by her question. Perhaps is she bothered about what I think about our mating?


    ¡°I believe there is a reason why the moon goddess paired you with the alpha king. And about making things right, I believe¡­ everything will be fine once the truth is proven.¡± Cain answered.


    ¡°I know my father didn¡¯t send that spy or the other spies. He really gave up wanting the throne after alpha Malcolm¡¯s death.¡±


    That¡¯s not true! Her father still wanted my throne even after my father¡¯s death! If she is seeing her father as a good person then probably her father cooked up some stories for her. He wouldn¡¯t want his daughter to know how much evil he can do.


    ¡°The alpha king is my mate but I am sure he won¡¯t ept me. He hates because of my father. I saw the hatred that ran deep in his heart even as he spoke to me.¡±  I could sense the sadness in her tone which got to my wolf.


    ¡°What about you? Do you want him?¡± Cain asked.


    ¡°Yes.. yes.. yes.. I want him. You know.. I have always wanted to meet my mate. But it is really hard for things to go smoothly between us¡­ like normal mates. We can¡¯t be the perfect mates I have always dreamed of because of everything that has happened over the years.¡± Her response was sharp and immediate.


    Oh! So we all dreamt of this perfect match. Well it seems like every young wolf dream!


    ¡°I won¡¯t hate him if he rejects me as long as my father doesn¡¯t leave me too.¡± She sounded resigned.


    ¡°Everything would be fine.¡± Cain mumbled


    ¡°No. No.. I know nothing will be fine if the alpha king doesn¡¯t find out who has been sending those spies to his kingdom.¡± Mia countered


    ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s the only way to prove our alpha¡¯s innocence.¡± Cain added.


    ¡°We are leaving tomorrow right?¡± Mia asked.


    ¡°Yes.. we¡¯ll leave at dawn. But won¡¯t you tell the alpha king about the vision?¡± He questioned.


    ¡°Do you think I should tell him?¡± No response came from Cain. ¡°But he doesn¡¯t want to see me or talk to me. I am his enemy.¡± She added.


    ¡°Don¡¯t say that alpha Mia. You are irresistible so I am sure the alpha king can¡¯t take his eyes off.¡± Cain chuckled


    Mia snorted. ¡°You are only saying this to make me feel better right?¡±


    ¡°No, I noticed the way he watched you with keen interest. I am sure he won¡¯t reject a beautiful mate like you.¡±


    Wait, did he just call my mate irresistible and beautiful?!


    ¡°I am not expecting too much from him.¡±


    No one has the right to call my mate beautiful! Irresistible! He shouldn¡¯t be checking her out! Or even be alone with her! Without knowing I found myself knocking on the door. That must be an impulse from my wolf and it was toote to turn back and leave.

    No one has the right to call my mate beautiful! Irresistible! He should be checking her out! Or even be alone with her! Without knowing I found myself knocking on the door. That must be an impulse from my wolf and it was toote to turn back and leave.


    ¡°Who could it be?¡± Mia whispered.


    ¡°Stay back while I check.¡± Cain replied.


    I heard the sound of sword being withdrawn out if it¡¯s initial ce.


    ¡°Maybe it is the theta or an iota wolf trying to¡­¡± The door opened up before she could finish her words. Cain pointed his sword at me but soon dropped it when his eyes met mine.


    ¡°Oh! Alpha king Sky¡­¡± He bowed. Mia stood up from the bed, came to stand beside Cain and  she bowed her head too.


    ¡°Rise.¡± I instructed.


    Mia¡¯s emerald green eyes shone brilliantly as she looked at me. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be here.¡± I said to Cain.


    ¡°I can¡¯t leave my alpha alone because it is not safe.¡± Cain answered


    ¡°This ce is guarded by trained warriors and no one would daree in to hurt her.¡± I said, trying to calm myself.


    ¡°I know it is guarded but-¡±


    I cut him off. ¡°I want you to go back to the room I asked my men to prepare for you. And I¡¯ll like to have some minutes with your alpha.¡±


    Cain exchanged nces with Mia. ¡°Cain, you can go ahead. I can handle it.¡± She said.


    He nodded. ¡°Good night.¡±


    She hummed a response before he walked away. ¡°Can Ie in?¡± I requested


    ¡°Yes.. yes.. yes¡­ pleasee in.¡± Mia stuttered while she stepped aside for me to walk in.


    ¡°How are you feeling?¡± I asked


    ¡°I am alright. And.. and.. th¡­ tha.. nk you.. for giving your men the orders to tend to me and my pack men.¡± She answered


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to thank me, I am just doing what is needed to be done.¡± My voice was hard and a stern look disyed on my face


    Mia fiddled with her fingers as she stood at the door. ¡°Please.. you can.. take a seat.¡± She gestured to the single couch in the room and I went to sit on it.


    ¡°Do the same too¡­¡± I said. Mia walked closer and sat on the bed slowly.


    My wolf jumped in excitement as I took in the features of our mate. Her long hair swept over her shoulder, rosy cheeks as my eyes did a slow crawl to her lips. I snapped out of the thought of kissing my mate.


    Mia didn¡¯t look up at me. ¡°I.. I¡­ don¡¯t really know how to¡­¡± She paused and sighed. ¡°I know it is really hard for you to ept someone like me as your mate because of the¡­ Erm.. Erm..¡± She stopped again


    ¡°Your pack and my kingdom aren¡¯t on good terms.¡± I said.


    ¡°My father has done so many bad things to you and your kingdom.¡± She nodded in agreement.


    ¡°And you want to right his wrongs?¡± I blurted.


    Mia raised an eyebrow. ¡°How do you know that?¡±


    I shouldn¡¯t have said that to her. ¡°I.. I..¡± I paused to think of what to say.


    ¡°Perhaps.. how long have you been standing outside the ward?¡± She asked.


    I cleared my throat. ¡°Not too long.¡±


    ¡°So.. so.. so.. you heard everything.¡±


    I nodded and readjusted my position. ¡°Your father didn¡¯t send the spies?¡±


    Mia nodded. ¡°Yes, I am very sure my father has never sent any spy since your father¡¯s death.¡±


    I screwed up my face. ¡°So who has been sending those men since thest few years of my reign?¡±


    Mia rolled her eyes but slowly and it kind of looked strange. ¡°It.. It.. is your duty to find out as athe alpha king.¡± She answered.


    ¡°It is¡­.¡± I stopped talking when I noticed the way she kept adjusting on the bed like she was ufortable.


    ¡°Are you alright?¡± I asked with concern in my tone.


    Mia stood up from the bed. ¡°Yes.. Yes.. I am..¡± Her voice trailed off.


    I wanted to go to her when she shut her eyes and tried to sit back on the bed but I stopped myself. Soon MIa staggered and I went to her immediately. It is normal to care for my mate.


    ¡°Are you ill?¡± I demanded.


    ¡°No, no.. I am alright. I.. I.. just feel a little dizzy¡­ that¡¯s all.¡± I helped her sit back on the bed.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Mia muttered.


    I let out a sigh of relief. I don¡¯t want to think that she really has some kind of illness. ¡°I am a hybrid. And having the blood of an alpha werewolf and red witch weakens my system whenever I have one of my visions. My mom died when I was just two years old. She was diagnosed of a rare incurable disease that affects red witches.¡± She exined her maternal background to me. She was acting so different from when we met in the throne hall.


    ¡°I am sorry about that.¡± I muttered.


    ¡°No, you don¡¯t have to sorry.¡± Mia held on to the ne on her around her neck. ¡°My dad gave me this locket on my 10th birthday. There is a picture of my mom in it.¡± She opened it and stared at the locket.


    ¡°I have a locket too, my dad gave it to me the day he passed his alpha title to me.¡± No! I shouldn¡¯t be soft and be having this conversation with her. We are mates but I don¡¯t want to ept her.


    ¡°I am sorry about your mom, I know my father -¡±


    ¡°He ripped out her heart at the war ground.¡± I clenched my fist and with the feeling of anger rising within in.


    Mia avoided my burning gaze. ¡°I am sorry.¡±


    I snorted. ¡°Sorry won¡¯t bring her back.¡±


    Mia looked up at me. ¡°But what about¡­¡± She paused.


    ¡°What do you have to say?!¡± I gritted.


    ¡°Huh?¡± She looked away from me. ¡°Nothing¡­ nothing.. I don¡¯t have anything else to say. But we are leaving tomorrow at dawn. Thank you for taking us in.¡±


    I shook my head and walked to the door. We should never meet again. I¡¯ll have to act like I haven¡¯t found my mate.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°Wait my lord!¡± She stopped me before I could walk out but I didn¡¯t turn to face her.


    ¡°It is true that sorry won¡¯t bring back your mother. And I don¡¯t me you for the hatred you bear towards me and my pack because of my father¡¯s deeds. But still I want to apologize on his behalf, I am sure he regretted his actions.¡± Mia paused probably expecting me to say something but nothing came from me. I don¡¯t want to have a conversation with her.


    ¡°My father is terribly ill.. and I don¡¯t think he is.. he is..¡± Mia paused again.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think he is gonna make it. He barely talks to anyone, I onlymunicate with me with my powers by reading his mind. He is dying slowly and I feel so helpless knowing that my powers can¡¯t save him.¡± She sobbed out loudly all of a sudden.


    Then I turned to face her. Is she pretending so I can pity her? Or she mean what she is saying? I couldn¡¯t tell.


    ¡°So please my lord, I am willing to take on whatever punishment you are to give him as long as you forgive him. He needs your forgiveness to be able to rest in peace when he dies.¡± She walked up to me slowly. ¡°Please.¡± Her eyes held a pleading look.


    I looked away from her. She is sincere but I can¡¯t believe it. She must be good at ying victim and getting people to pity her. ¡°Have a good night rest alpha Mia.¡± Then I made my way out of the room because I didn¡¯t know what to say to her.


    She wants me to forgive her father and punish her for her father¡¯s deeds. Is that even fair?! But why am I suddenly feeling pity for alpha Zion after everything he has done to me? She must have cast a spell on me.


    ¡®If her father dies and you also reject her, that would be too much for her to bear. Our mate looks pitiful.¡¯ My wolf said in a sad tone.

    DONIA KINGDOM


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    IN THE THRONE HALL


    I watched Mia leave with her men at dawn. She wanted to see me but I had ordered my men to not let anyone into the throne hall. I ignored my wolf pleas to at least say a word to our mate. I had nothing to say to the alpha of crescent pack who is my mate and it made my wolf extremely sad. But to ensure her safety, I instructed general Cullen and six other men to apany the Crescent members to the borders of my kingdom. It is normal for a male wolf to care for his mate but I am not ready to ept my mate.


    ¡°Your Highness.¡± Eunuch Cole bowed before walking further into the throne hall.


    ¡°I want to be alone.¡± I muttered.


    ¡°Okay but you need to know this. Alpha Mia dropped a note with theta Zac before leaving.¡± Eunuch Cole said.


    I looked up at him when he said that. ¡°What did you just say?¡± I demanded.


    ¡°Alpha Mia left a note for you.¡± Eunuch Cole repeated.


    I gestured to Cole to move closer to me. ¡°Read it out to me.¡± I ordered.


    Eunuch Cole cleared his throat before reading out the words in the letter. ¡°I read.¡±


    ¡®To Alpha King Sky. You didn¡¯t give me the chance to tell you all that was on my mind. I am sorry, if I asked too much from you. Forgiving my father wouldn¡¯t be an easy one for you but I hope you find it in your heart to forgive him someday. I also understand the reason why you can¡¯t ept me as your mate but let not me the moon goddess for pairing us together. My Lord, I want you as my mate but I know you hate me as much as you hate my father. So I await your rejection.¡¯Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Eunuch Cole stopped reading. ¡°Is that all?¡± I asked.


    ¡°No.¡± Eunuch Cole shook his head.


    ¡°Then go on and read it to me.¡± I instructed.


    ¡®Sometimes I feel being a witch isn¡¯t a good thing because ites with a lot of responsibility and inconveniences. I passed out at the city gate because I had a vision. I wanted to tell you about it but your men didn¡¯t let me in so I told theta Zac to help me out. Please don¡¯t prosecute him for helping an enemy.¡¯


    Eunuch Cole stopped reading again. ¡°Is that all? She didn¡¯t say anything about the vision?!¡± I tapped the board attached to my throne.


    ¡°That¡¯s not all, my alpha king.¡± Eunuch Cole mumbled.


    ¡°Why are you taking a break while reading?!¡± I snapped at him.


    ¡°Forgive me, my alpha king. I was just checking to see if you are listening to me.¡± Eunuch Cole bowed.


    ¡°I am listening.¡± I gestured to him to rise his head.


    Eunuch Cole cleared his throat to read. ¡®There is someone who wants your throne. Someone close to you. Someone who has been in your kingdom for ages. I don¡¯t know who that person is but I advice you find this person because I see dark days ahead. Mia cares.¡¯


    ¡°That¡¯s all.¡±  Eunuch Cole said.


    I stood up from my throne and began pacing with my hands locked behind my back. ¡°Someone wants my throne.¡± I whispered.


    ¡°That¡¯s what is in the note.¡± Eunuch Cole replied.


    I stopped pacing and watched my throne from a little distance. ¡°Who could it be?¡± I asked no one in particr.


    ¡°I have no idea, my alpha king.¡± Eunuch Cole answered.


    I chuckled deeply. ¡°Someone who has been there for ages wants the Donia throne.¡± I resumed pacing.


    ¡°That¡¯s what is in the note.¡±  Eunuch Cole answered.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t he juste for it?¡± Iughed but it soon faded quickly. ¡°Coward!¡± I growled out.


    ¡°My alpha king, I think that person is the bigger enemy of our kingdom. This person is only hiding under alpha Zion¡¯s past deeds.¡± Eunuch Cole reasoned.


    ¡°You think so too?¡± I looked straight at him.


    ¡°Yes my alpha king. Alpha Zion is ill and his representatives had been able to proof that he hasn¡¯t sent anyone to our kingdom for some time now.¡± Eunuch Cole responded.


    ¡°Which only means that the true enemy is trying to cover up using an old enemy.¡± I finished Cole intended thoughts.


    ¡°Exactly! That¡¯s how it is!¡± Eunuch Cole coaxed.


    ¡°No one will take my throne from me!¡± I clenched my fists with a serious face.


    ¡°We won¡¯t let that happen.¡± Eunuch Cole bowed.


    ¡°Cole? Come closer.¡± Imanded.


    ¡°Yes my alpha king.. here I am.¡± He came closer.


    ¡°We have a lot to do. We need to find the true enemy of Donia Kingdom.¡± I whispered to him.


    ¡°Yes.. my alpha king. You are right. We really need to put an end to this madness. Please what do I need to do?¡±


    I covered the small gap between us. ¡°Go to the office of records and get the files of the eighteen officials in my court. Let us start by doing a background check on their past. Get me Cullen once he is back to the kingdom!¡± I ordered but in a low tone.


    ¡°Yes.. yes.. yes.. my alpha king. I¡¯ll do just has you have sent me.¡± Eunuch Cole moved away from me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention this to anyone..¡± I ced a finger on my lips.


    Eunuch Cole nodded and did a gesture of zipping his lips before walking out of the hall.


    I let out a loud sigh of frustration. ¡°Oh.. moon goddess, do not deliver me to the hand of the enemies.¡± I prayed silently.

    DONIA KINGDOM


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    FEW DAYS LATER


    It waste in the afternoon when I decided to take a nap after looking through the files Eunuch Cole got from the office of records. So far so good, I haven¡¯t been able to find anything fishy about my  eighteen officials. No one seem to be having extra war men aside the numbers given under thew of Donia Kingdom. No secrets assets or suspicious movement since I ced general Cullen and some trusted men to watch all my officials.


    ¡°I should eat something but I am so sleepy..¡± I mumbled when my stomach made a rumbling sound. A soft knock on my door stopped me from climbing into my bed.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°Are you asleep my alpha king ?¡± I heard Eunuch Cole¡¯s voice behind the door.


    ¡°No I am not asleep but I am about to take a nap. Plus I want to be alone.¡± I answered and got into bed.


    ¡°My alpha king, you might want to hear the news I have for you before taking a nap.¡± Eunuch Cole said.


    I rubbed my temples. Being an alpha king isn¡¯t an easy task. You don¡¯t own yourself but the kingdom owns you and you have to make sure things are in the right ce. ¡°Come in.¡± I replied.


    Eunuch Cole stepped into the room. ¡°I have news-¡±


    I cut him off sharply. ¡°You already said that before. What sort of news do you bring?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Good and bad news.¡± Eunuch Cole answered.


    ¡°Share the bad one.¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°Okay. Alpha Zion is dead.¡± Eunuch Cole blurted out.


    My eyes widened in shock. ¡°What?!¡± I gasped out.


    ¡°Alpha Zion of crescent pack is dead.¡± Eunuch Cole repeated.


    ¡°I heard that¡­ but when? How¡­ no I mean.. why?¡± I questioned frantically not even sure of what to say. No! I shouldn¡¯t be concerned about his death!


    ¡°The news is everywhere. The alpha of crescent pack is died. He passed on in the midnight.¡± Eunuch Cole responded, a sad look disyed on his face.


    ¡°Oh! Perhaps does this exins why my wolf was so sad and it didn¡¯t want to get up at dawn like it used to?¡± I was thinking aloud.


    ¡°That must be because your mate is sad and down. I mean.. alpha Mia must be really sad about the death of her father.¡± Eunuch Cole said.


    I nodded in agreement to what he just said. ¡®We need to go and console our mate.¡¯ my wolf whispered in a sad tone.


    ¡°No, I can¡¯t leave my kingdom to be with her.¡± I replied my wolf.


    ¡°Are you talking to me my alpha king?¡± I looked up at Cole. I realized that I just said my thoughts out loud again.


    ¡°I am talking to my wolf. It wants me to go and console our mate.¡± I told him.


    ¡®She is sad. Our mate needs us! So stop being stubborn and let us go to our mate!¡¯ My wolf grumbled.


    ¡°Can you just let me think straight for a second!¡± I snapped at my wolf. It let out a grumble before slipping away to the back of my mind.


    ¡°You should try to calm down my alpha king.¡± Eunuch Cole bowed slightly.


    I let out a sigh. ¡°Rise Cole, what do you think I should do?¡±


    Eunuch Cole looked up at me. ¡°You can¡¯t leave the kingdom now that you suspect that someone else aside the deceased alpha wants your throne. Leaving the kingdom to attend to your mate would be an easy way for the enemy to attack us. So I suggest you send some men to crescent pack to attend the funeral on your behalf.¡± He answered.


    ¡°When is the funeral?¡± I demanded.


    ¡°Tomorrow morning.¡± Eunuch Cole replied.


    ¡®If you aren¡¯t going to show up at the funeral, at least send a note to our mate for her to know we care about her. And we can¡¯t be by her side because we have to secure the throne and protect our kingdom.¡¯ My wolf instructed.


    I almostughed at it words but I held theughter at bay. ¡°My men would deliver your message.¡± I answered my wolf.


    ¡°My alpha king, do you still intend to reject your mate?¡± Eunuch Cole questioned.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. It would hurt my wolf if I reject my mate. And epting my mate would seem like I invited an enemy into my kingdom. It is like I am betraying my people, my throne and my kingdom if I ept her.¡± I leaned my head on the bed headboard.


    ¡°My alpha king, what if the moon goddess made her your mate to make things right? I mean to settle the enmity between Donia Kingdom and Crescent pack.¡± Eunuch Cole reasoned.


    I crossed my hands over my chest. ¡°You are right Cole but -¡±


    He interrupted me. ¡°I think it is best to ept alpha Mia as your mate. You can bring her into the kingdom to spend some time with you.¡±


    I shook my head in disagreement. ¡°No, I am saying that I can¡¯t make any decision now. I have to think.. I mean I don¡¯t want to bring in an enemy and ruin my kingdom with my own hands. Moreover, she has a pack to tend to as an alpha.¡±


    ¡°You still need your mate by your side¡­ an enemy or not. This kingdom needs a Luna.¡± Eunuch Cole muttered.


    ¡°My Kingdom has been fine without a Luna!¡± I yelped.


    Eunuch Cole bowed immediately. ¡°My alpha king, please forgive me for my words. I am only concerned about you because I am having this feeling that someone might use alpha Mia as a threat against you.¡±


    Iughed out. ¡°Why would anyone do that? I haven¡¯t even epted her as my mate.¡±


    ¡°Alpha Mia is still your mate and she is your weakness now. You know how this mates thing works, you feel anything she feels¡­ pains, emotions and everything thates with the bond. Moreover she gave you a warning then she is the best person to tell you how to find the real enemy now.¡± Eunuch Cole said.


    He is right. My mate is my weakness now even though I haven¡¯t epted her. My wolf already wants her so we would both be feeling everything she feels. ¡°I can¡¯t ask her to leave her pack ande stay with me.¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°My alpha king, we have the rules. And what are the rules? The female wolf has to leave her pack to be her mate. If she is an alpha and her mate is also an alpha she has to hand over the pack affairs to a Beta after merging her pack with her mate¡¯s pack. If she is an alpha and her mate is an ordinary wolf then the male wolf has to join her pack and lead it . That¡¯s the rule. Sooner orter, alpha Mia would have to leave her pack to be a Luna and Queen in this kingdom once youplete the mate bond.¡± Eunuch Cole exined in a calm tone.


    I heaved a sigh of frustration. ¡°Please call me General Cullen.¡± I said to him after some minutes of absolute silence. ¡°Wait, you didn¡¯t share the good news.¡± I stopped him when he was about to leave.


    ¡°Oh! Your cousin Drake just had babies.¡± Eunuch Cole announced with a bright smile on his face.


    ¡°Babies?¡± I arched my brows.


    Eunuch Cole shook his head. ¡°Three wolves at a time.¡± He answered.


    My eyes widened. ¡°Wow! That¡¯s great news! Send a lot of gifts to Drake and his family.¡± I ordered.


    ¡°Alright my alpha king.¡± Eunuch Cole bowed slightly. ¡°And I also can¡¯t wait to meet our future alpha king too and maybe more.¡± He grumbled to himself but I heard his words clearly.


    ¡°What?¡± My smile disappeared too. ¡°What did you just say?¡± I leaned forward.


    ¡°I.. I.. ahm.. I said.. nothing. I¡¯ll just go ahead and call general Cullen.¡± Eunuch Cole rushed off quickly.


    ¡®Why are so mad because he wished to see the future alpha? It is a good idea to me!¡¯ My wolf jumped in happiness.


    I found myself smiling when I recalled Cole¡¯s words. Every alpha is always excited and anxious to meet his Junior. I like the idea too, I mean I love kids! I have always loved babies since I was a little boy.


    I would have been the happiest man on earth to think of having a Junior but not with the choice of my mate. It would have been a different case if my mate wasn¡¯t the child of the man who murdered my mother.


    ¡®That¡¯s harsh.. you still can¡¯t reject our mate. Remember her father is dead now, the only loved one she knows is gone and now she is alone. Rejecting her would kill her chance of ever being happy.¡¯ My wolf whimpered in a persuasive tone.


    I knew my wolf was trying to convince me to ept our mate in a tricky way.

    DONIA KINGDOM


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    THE NEXT DAY


    I sat on the mini throne attending to paper works and tasks running my kingdom requires. And all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my heart as if I have just been stabbed but by an unknown force. It was horrid and sharp and it quickly awakened my grumpy wolf. Memories of the night with Mia shed through my mind¡¯s eye and recalled every words she had said to me. Pictures of my mate flooded my mind as I grabbed my chest and yelled out in pains. What¡¯s wrong with my mate?


    ¡°My alpha king!¡± Eunuch Cole rushed to me.


    I groaned in pains as I fell down on my kneels. ¡°Guards!¡± Eunuch Cole screamed out.


    Two warriors rushed into the throne hall. ¡°Alpha king!¡± They both gasped out in shock.


    ¡°Please help him up.¡± Eunuch Cole instructed them.


    The guards came to the moon throne and set me back in it.  ¡°Let us take him to the infirmary!¡± Eunuch Cole said in a panicked tone.


    But I stopped them when they tried to carry me again. ¡°Mia¡­¡± I whispered to eunuch Cole.


    ¡°Mia?¡± Eunuch Cole repeated with a snapped eyebrows. ¡°My alpha king isn¡¯t that the alpha of crescent pack?¡±


    I nodded. ¡°Yes.. I.. I.. feel she is -¡± my words failed me again as I winced in pain.


    ¡°My alpha king.. please permit us to take you to the infirmary.¡± Eunuch Cole cried out.


    ¡°My alpha king! My Lord! Your highness!¡± General Cullen also came rushing into the hall into the throne hall.


    ¡°What is it general Cullen? Why are you in such a rush like someone who has just seen a ghost?¡±  Eunuch Cole demanded.


    ¡°I have got bad news!¡± General Cullen panted.


    ¡°Bad news? What bad news?¡± Eunuch Cole asked with panic filled in his eyes.


    I could see the way the eunuch was shaking like a scaredy-cat. The pain in my chest subsided a little and I readjusted my position to focus on what Cullen has to say.


    ¡°Bad news my alpha king!¡± Cullen cried out.


    I leaned forward from the throne. ¡°Speak up Cullen!¡± I snarled in amanding tone.


    ¡°The Gamma from Crescent pack sent a message saying that a group of rogues invaded the Crescent pack at dawn and also abducted the alpha and killed many pack members!¡± General Cullen rushed out his words.


    My eyes widened and my jaw dropped immediately. ¡°Your Highness.. this news exins your pain.. the alpha of crescent pack must be in great danger.¡± Eunuch Cole added quickly.


    ¡°The future luna is in the hands of the rogues and I am afraid that they might do something terrible to her.¡± General Cullen said.


    I clenched his fists and seethe my teeth in anger. ¡°Who could have sent rogues to invade Crescent pack and abduct the alpha.¡± I asked no one in particr as I expressed my thought out loudly.


    ¡°My alpha king what if this is a n by the enemy!¡± Eunuch Cole cried out at the fear that something bad might happen to my mate.


    ¡®Our mate is in great danger we have to save her from the hands of the evil rogues who abducted her!¡¯ My wolf jumped in fear.


    ¡®What if the rogues ends up killing her? What if they keep torturing her?¡¯ My wolf bombarded me with scary questions about the possibility of our mate getting killed by rogues.


    ¡°No! That can¡¯t happen!¡± I said to my wolf with a grimace.


    ¡°What do we do my alpha king? We have to save our Luna.¡± Eunuch Cole cried out again.


    I clenched his fist and tightened my jawline.¡±We¡¯ll have to prepare our best men!¡± I stood up from the moon throne and motioned out of the throne hall


    *******


    ¡°We need to find those rogues who abducted the alpha of crescent pack and it may also lead us to the enemy we have been investigating for months now.¡± General Cullen suggested.


    ¡°Prepare our best men.¡± I was heading towards my chambers while General Cullen followed closely behind me. Eunuch Cole walked at a close distance too.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°How many men should I prepare?¡± General Cullen asked.


    ¡°Cullen, select the best thirty wolves, we will share them into three groups. The first groups will mount the boundaries that divides us with neighboring packs, the second group will need to find the one who sent rogues and the third group will work on saving the alpha of crescent pack.¡± I gave out instruction to the general.


    ¡°Yes¡­ my alpha king.¡± General Cullen said to signify that he has noted everything.


    ¡°Tell beta Damien to see me in my chambers.¡± I ordered.


    General Cullen bowed before rushing off immediately.


    I walked into my room. ¡°My alpha king, I don¡¯t think it is wise to leave the kingdom.¡± Eunuch Cole said.


    My lip drew back in a snarl. ¡°What?!¡± I turned to face the eunuch in anger. ¡°My mate is in danger! She is in the hands of the rogues and I am trying so hard not to image what those bastards would do to her if I don¡¯t find her real soon!¡± I yelled. My wolf was also furious at the eunuch.


    Eunuch Cole bowed his head immediately. ¡°Forgive me alpha king for I also know how the mate instincts works. I am just concerned about you and our kingdom. What if the rogueses around to invade the pce because you aren¡¯t in it? What if this is the enemy¡¯s n to use your weakness against you just to lure you out of the kingdom?¡± Eunuch Cole expressed the questions that must be bothering his mind.


    The eunuch was only trying to make me realize the dangers attached to leaving the kingdom unguarded.

    DONIA KINGDOM


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    I walked into my room. ¡°My alpha king, I don¡¯t think it is wise to leave the kingdom.¡± Eunuch Cole said.


    My lip drew back in a snarl. ¡°What?!¡± I turned to face the eunuch in anger. ¡°My mate is in danger! She is in the hands of the rogues and I don¡¯t want to image what those bastards would do to her if I don¡¯t find her!¡± I yelled. My wolf was also furious at the eunuch.


    Eunuch Cole bowed his head immediately. ¡°Forgive me alpha king for I also know how the mate instincts works. I am just concerned about you and our kingdom. What if the rogueses around to invade the pce because you aren¡¯t in it? What if this is the enemy¡¯s n to use your weakness against you just to lure you out of the kingdom?¡± Eunuch Cole expressed the questions that must be bothering his mind.


    The eunuch was only trying to make me realize the dangers attached to leaving the kingdom unguarded.


    ¡°Well I am still not convince that it is not thete alpha who wants my kingdom. I have refused to believe that there is another enemy out there waiting to bring my kingdom down! This has to be the works of those people who are involved with thete alpha Zion!¡± I gritted my teeth. All these wouldn¡¯t been happening if alpha Zion has started a war with my kingdom. This is his his fault!


    ¡°My alpha king.. but the crescent alpha stated her vision in the note she sent to you. It must-¡±


    I raised my hand up to silence the eunuch. ¡°I know she warned me but I am still not convinced. Cole, I need you to tell me what you saw in your vision.¡± I requested after I remembered that the eunuch had wanted to tell me the vision he had but I have been too busy to even give him an audience.


    ¡°I saw that the kingdom was taken away from you through your weakness -Your Mate.¡± Eunuch Cole recounted his vision with his head bowed.


    ¡°So someone wants to use my mate to get to me and take away my throne.¡± I said to be sure.


    Eunuch Cole shook his head in agreement. ¡°My alpha king, I suggest you don¡¯t leave the pce.¡±


    ¡°But what about Mia? I have to save her.¡± I countered.


    ¡°Yes, I know you have to save the Luna but-¡±


    I interrupted him quickly. ¡°My wolf will never forgive me if those rogues hurt a strand of her hair. And I swear to the goddess that I will kill those bastards!¡± I could feel my eyes glowing crimson with veins bulging at the sides of my neck but I fought for control.


    ¡°My alpha king, I am not saying you shouldn¡¯t leave the pce to save her but -¡±


    I cuts him off sharply again. ¡°Cole! Go straight to the point!¡±  I snarled.


    ¡°Don¡¯t leave the pce unprotected because I feel the enemy is in the pce.¡± The eunuch bowed to me.


    I and my wolf thought deeply about the eunuch¡¯s words for a split second. Whoever sent those rogues to Crescent Pack just to get Mia must have been informed that she is the alpha king¡¯s mate. My woman. My only weakness at this point.


    Who is the greatest enemy of Donia kingdom now that alpha Zion is dead? Could it be that a member of the Donia kingdom is working for the so called enemy? Could it be one of the Donia officials? No! No! It can¡¯t be anyone in my court! I didn¡¯t find anything suspicious about them when I did a background check on the Donia officials. I thought deeply.


    And as far as I could remember those men were all loyal to thete alpha king-my father. They were all faithful to the king and since my father never suspected any foul y so I am pretty sure that they are loyal to me too.  I concluded.


    Although I am still confused and I don¡¯t know what to do about this situation. I am caught in between the options of remaining in my kingdom or saving my mate from being killed by the rogues.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what to do, Cole.¡± I admitted sincerely even though I seriously hate being helpless and vulnerable and not knowing what to do in situations that involves options.


    ¡°My alpha king.. I have a n.¡± Eunuch Cole said with his head slightly bowed.


    I looked up and stared intensely at him with a slightly raised eyebrow. ¡°What n do you have, Cole?¡± I asked.


    ¡°If you will listen to this your humble and lowly servant.¡± Eunuch Cole head was still bowed.


    ¡°Rise Cole.. I don¡¯t regard you as a lowly servant. You are like a family to me.¡± I corrected him.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Eunuch Cole raised his head with a smile on his face. ¡°I have a n which might help you save the kingdom and your mate.¡±


    I started the pacing fit. ¡°Let me know about your n.¡± I said.


    Eunuch Cole moved closer to him. ¡°There is a way to be present at the kingdom and be present at the rogues locations in other to save your mate too.¡± He whispered.


    My eyebrows drew together. ¡°Perhaps are you suggesting ck magic?¡± I asked after thinking for some seconds.


    The eunuch shook his head in agreement. ¡°Illusion is the only option that can help us but it is not ck magic.¡± Eunuch Cole moved closer to him. ¡°There is a way to be present at the kingdom and be present at the rogues location in other to save your mate too.¡± He whispered.


    My eyebrows drew together. ¡°Are you suggesting magic?¡± I asked after thinking for some seconds.


    The eunuch shook his head in agreement. ¡°Illusion is the only option that can help us but it is not ck magic.¡± He muttered.


    I have gave the option a second thought in my head- Illusion. It seems like a perfect way to be present at the kingdom and be able to save my mate.


    ¡°That is the only way out I can think of now that we are suspecting that there is bigger enemy after your throne. The enemy has your mate so I am sure he wants you toe find him and save your mate then he can also have a chance to attack the kingdom.¡± The eunuch exined what I am also thinking in my head.


    ¡°You are right, Cole. But how do we go about the illusion?¡± I asked in a tight whisper.


    ¡°I know someone who might help us.¡± Eunuch Cole answered.


    ¡°Who? Is the person around?¡± I demanded.


    ¡°She is a witch but she stays in one of the neighboring packs.¡± The eunuch replied.


    I screwed up his face. ¡°Won¡¯t that take too much time? And how do we get her to help us out?¡± I questioned.


    ¡°My alpha king, I just need a short note of you summoning her to the pce.¡± The eunuch responded.


    I stopped pacing immediately. I rushed and went in search of a pen, paper and the royal seal in the secret safe. I came back to meet Cole and sat back on the couch close to my bed. I leaned forward to ce the paper on the table.


    ¡°What is her name?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Kira.¡± Eunuch Cole replied.


    ¡°Kira¡­¡± I wrote the summoning note, I added the name of the witch in the note, stamped it with the royal seal and then handed it to the eunuch Cole.


    ¡°I will be waiting in here for you to bring the witch. Don¡¯t take too long and don¡¯t let anyone find out about what we are about to do.¡± I warned with a stern look on my face.


    Eunuch Cole bowed before walking away.


    I let out a sigh and prayed to the moon goddess to protect my mate. Even though I am not ready to ept my mate, I still don¡¯t want to lose her because of my wolf. And I don¡¯t  want to go through the same pains my father went through when he lost my mother.


    ******


    TEN HOURS LATER


    I gestured to the six werewolves behind me to pull off their clothes and tie it to their ankle so they could all shift into their wolf forms. General Cullen had taken his time to select the best and trusted wolves and I have led them secretly out of the kingdom so we won¡¯t raise any suspicion.


    There is someone out there who want to get my throne so the so called enemy went after my mate. Too bad he just dered war with the wrong person. I prayed to the moon goddess to protect my mate before shape shifting into my wolf form.


    ¡°Your mate doesn¡¯t deserve to die!¡¯ Kira the witch had said and her words echoed in my wolf¡¯s head.


    ¡°Her death would affect you and your wolf greatly and you won¡¯t be able to save your kingdom in the end.¡± Kira had said. And her words did a great job at making me realize that I really do need my mate.


    ¡®I want my mate!¡¯ My wolf admitted.


    I could sense her wolf calling out to my wolf through the connection our wolves had created in the short while of meeting. Mia wants me and my wolf too.


    ¡°I would kill them all I see a scratch on my mate.¡± I said internally as I pushed my wolf further at a fast pace.


    ¡®I won¡¯t forgive you if anything happens to our mate.¡¯ The wolf said and increased it pace.


    And I just couldn¡¯t bear the thought of not having a mate anymore.

    ¡°Yes.. I can hear you clearly my alpha king.¡± Kevin answered in respect.


    ¡°Kelvin, is everything okay?¡± I demanded.


    ¡°Yes my alpha king, everything is fine.¡± Kelvin replied.


    ¡°So what¡¯s the situation of things?¡± I asked.


    ¡°No signs of rogues anywhere and our men are still stationed around the territory.¡± Kelvin responded.


    ¡°Always take turns in watching the territory till Ie around. And tell no one about my arrival.¡± I instructed.


    ¡°What about the Gamma of Crescent pack?¡± Kelvin asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ll talk to you when I get to the borders of Crescent pack so you can -¡± My intended words was disrupted when I groaned out in pain after I felt this sharp pain on my limp. I stopped on track when I realized that my mate was in pain too.


    ¡°Your Highness!¡± Kelvin screamed out through the link.


    I felt another pain on my side. Damn it! What are they doing to her?! My wolf howled into the air. The link with kelvin got disconnected when another sharp pain waved through me. Another mournful cry from my pained wolf and the other wolves stopped on track. The pain was horrid, my chest beating fast while I managed to keep on walking slowly to gather up more strength. I need to be strong for my mate. I can¡¯t pass out on this mission to save my mate.


    The other wolves followed behind me silently and I tried mind linking Kelvin again. ¡°My alpha king, are you alright?¡± Kelvin demanded in a concerned tone.


    ¡°Yes.. I am fine but I don¡¯t think my mate is alright. She must also be in pains. Bring the Gamma to the borders now!¡± I snapped in amanding tone. We don¡¯t have any time to waste anymore.


    ¡°Yes alpha king!¡± He replied and the link got disconnected.


    I stretched out my limps, preparing for the long run to Crescent pack. I have to get there before dawn. I signaled to the other wolves to get ready with a low howl. They lowered their heads in respect before we all kicked off at a fast speed. My wolf was the fastest as the alpha and all we wanted was to just save our mate.


    ************


    Finally we arrived at our destination in the morning. It took us few minutes to wear our clothes which we had tied to our ankles before transforming into wolves. I could hear voices close by and I used my keen sense of hearing to hear the words clearly.


    ¡°Why on earth did you bring me out here?!¡±  That must be the gamma of crescent pack.


    ¡°Will you please calm down Gamma?¡±  I heard Kelvin¡¯s voice this time.


    ¡°First you searched the alpha¡¯s study and now you brought me out here to do what?!¡± The gamma demanded in a raised tone.


    ¡°I was trying to find clue that might lead us to the one who invaded your pack. I am only working on the orders of the alpha king.¡± Kelvin replied.


    Yeah! I asked Kelvin to search alpha Zion¡¯s study to see if he would find anything, any clue which may lead us to the enemy.


    ¡°What are we doing out here?¡± The Gamma lowered his voice.


    ¡°You¡¯ll find out soon.¡± Kelvin answered.


    I told Kelvin not to tell anyone about my arrival. Why? I don¡¯t trust the Gamma of Crescent pack.  I mean who knows? He might know something too since he waste alpha Zion¡¯s best friend.


    The wolves and I busted out of the thick forest into the open field where Kelvin and the Gamma of Crescent pack stood waiting for us.


    ¡°Oh! You are here my alpha king.¡± Kelvin bowed immediately his dark eyes met mine.


    ¡°The alpha king?¡± The Gamma¡¯s eyes met mine too and he bowed sharply when I got closer to them.


    ¡°Rise.¡± I instructed.


    ¡°Good morning, alpha king Sky. I am Gamma Albert of Crescent Pack.¡±  He introduced himself.


    I nodded slowly. ¡°I asked Kelvin to bring you here. I am sorry about what happened to your alpha and to your pack.¡±


    Gamma Albert bowed slightly. ¡°It is good to have you in our pack, alpha king Sky and thank you for sending out your men to protect our pack. They are all doing a great job.¡±


    I turned to face Kelvin. ¡°What did you find?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I found a note in thete alpha¡¯s study.¡± Kelvin handed me the note.


    ¡°The invaders didn¡¯t leave any sign of how we can find them?¡± I turned slightly and directed the question at Gamma Albert.


    ¡°They are rogues.¡± Gamma Albert answered.


    ¡°You should know better Albert that rogues are really good at what they do. They walk around without letting anyone figure their scents and they can be deadly. Are you sure the invaders are rogues?¡±  I said to the Gamma before focusing on the note Kelvin handed to me.


    ¡°You gave me your word that you would help me take back what belongs to me but you backed out of our mission.¡± I read out loudly. The date on the note was dated back to about two years ago.


    ¡°This note won¡¯t lead us anywhere.¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°My alpha king-¡± Kelvin was cut off by me.


    ¡°I sent you here to find clues but you found nothing! A mere note won¡¯t help me find her!¡± I growled out.


    ¡°Forgive me my alpha king.¡± Kelvin apologized with his head bowed.


    I turned away from Kelvin. It is not his fault that all of this is happening but I was deeply concerned about my mate because my wolf is deeply troubled. If these invaders are truly rogues then I don¡¯t even want to bring myself to imagine what this fucking rogues might be doing to my mate right now. I tried to calm my wolf that our mate would be fine because I haven¡¯t felt any pain after the previous ones.


    ¡®She is a witch, what if she has blocked out every chance of you feeling her pain with her powers?¡¯ My wolf panicked.


    Realization hit me after my wolf raised the bothersome question. Damn it! That¡¯s true! Mia is a witch and she could use her powers or even alpha strength to stop me as her mate from feeling her pains. And knowing this made me and my wolf be more desperate to find our mate as soon as possible


    I went to the Gamma Albert. ¡°What do you know about these rogues?¡± I asked.


    ¡°They came for her¡­ they wanted only her.¡± Beta Albert answered.


    ¡°Bloody rogues!¡± I cursed under my breath.


    ¡°But just one isn¡¯t a rogue.¡± Beta Albert added sharply.


    My eyebrows snapped together. ¡°What do you mean?¡± I  asked.


    ¡°The wolf that led the rogues wasn¡¯t a rogue.¡± Beta Albert responded.


    ¡°What is he?¡± I demanded with a clenched fist.


    ¡°I could smell the royal blood in his veins.¡± Beta Albert replied.


    I was trying so hard to control my anger and I frowned deeply at his words. ¡°A royal blood? Are you saying he is someone from the pce?¡± I questioned frantically. This is veryplicated.


    ¡°Maybe and maybe not. But what do you think? We only have one pce which is the Donja pce.¡± Gamma Albert replied.


    ¡°How does he look like?¡± I demanded sharply.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t see his face because he had a mask on. I tried to pull it off when I picked a fight with him after he ripped off the head of my beta but he was just too strong.¡± Gamma Albert said in sad tone. The abduction of the alpha and death of the beta must be weighing the members down.


    ¡°Did he say anything to you? Something that may help us have a clue of who he is?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Yes.. he said a lot of things.¡± Gamma Albert responded.


    I moved closer to the Gamma. ¡°Tell me what you can remember¡­ I want to know everything he said to you.¡± I demanded with a screwed up face


    ¡°He said that taking alpha Mia would bring you to him. He is aware that she is your mate.¡± Beta Albert said.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me these things when I questioned you about the incident?¡± Kelvin asked him.


    ¡°I was really expecting the alpha king because I already know that he woulde around in a bid to find his mate. So I wanted the alpha king to hear everything from me.¡± Gamma Albert responded with a stern look at Kelvin.


    ¡°What else do you know?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Well he is waiting for you toe and save her.¡± Gamma Albert replied.


    My jaw tightened. ¡°Do you know where I can find him?¡± I asked again.


    Gamma Albert shook his head. ¡°Well I think I have a location.¡± He grinned at me.


    I found it weird. This wolf is acting suspicious and I can¡¯t trust him. ¡°What? You know where to find the enemy?¡± Kelvin gasped in shock.


    I folded my arms and studied the Gamma. ¡°Speak. Tell me where I can find this royal blood. I am listening.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know the location exactly but I only have a clue.¡± Gamma Albert said.


    ¡°So¡­ tell me what clue you have so I can save my mate and bring back your alpha.¡± I gritted my teeth with a serious face.


    Gamma Albert shook his head in disagreement. ¡°I will only tell you the location and clue if you agree toe with me to our pack and know the truth.¡±


    My eyebrows snapped together in confusion. ¡°What truth?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Alpha king Sky, you can¡¯t just set off to find the one who captured your mate. You need to know the whole truth of this matter.¡± Gamma Albert smirked.


    My expression hardened. ¡°I canpel you to tell me everything.¡± I gritted my teeth.


    Gamma Albert let out a chuckle. ¡°Compelling me won¡¯t solve this whole situation.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have time for talks!¡± I growled at the Gamma. I find him strange. What if he knows about this abduction?


    ¡°I agree with you. You are my alpha king but I would like to proof thete alpha¡¯s innocence in this situation.¡± Gamma Albert said in a calm tone..


    ¡°What are you talking about?¡± I frowned deeply.


    ¡°There are so many things you need to know before setting off to save your mate.¡± Gamma Albert insisted.


    I exchanged nces with Kelvin. ¡°Come with me your highness and I will reveal everything to you.¡± And this time Gamma Albert¡¯s voice pleaded with me.


    What truth do I need to know that would clear thete alpha¡¯s innocence? The royal blood? Can it be about him? Of course! I should find out who this royal blood is since Mia already predicted that the enemy is close to me.


    I shook my head in agreement. ¡°If I don¡¯t find any clue that will lead me to the one who took your alpha then I won¡¯t hesitate to rip off your head.¡± I threatened.


    Gamma Albert nodded in agreement. ¡°You can do whatever it is you want to do with me if you don¡¯t find any clue to finding your mate.¡± Gamma Albert bowed his head.


    ¡°Okay, Gamma Albert lead the way.¡± I ordered.


    Whatever this Gamma wants to tell me, I hope it is good enough to help me to find my mate. I though within.

 EPISODE 12

    THEME: Save our alpha


    CRESCENT PACK


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    Gamma Albert must have mind linked the pack members because they already gathered around at the centre of the pack square to wee me. My eyes surveyed the pack buildings and I couldn¡¯t help but be honest thatte alpha Zion did a good job of building afortable homes for his pack members.


    Gamma Albert cleared his throat as he settled to speak. I and my men stood in front of the pack members. ¡°Members of great crescent pack¡­ please meet alpha king Sky of Donia Kingdom and also his men.¡± He introduced.


    The pack members all bowed in respect. ¡°Long live the alpha king!¡± Gamma Albert called out.


    ¡°Long live the alpha king!¡± They chorused.


    ¡°Please rise. So today, the alpha king is here with us and I am sure we would like to hear from him.¡± Gamma Albert said as he looked at me to address the pack members.


    My eyes watched every wolf standing in front of me. They all had fears in their eyes for whatever has befallen their pack and no doubt they felt intimidated by my alpha presence.


    I cleared my throat before speaking up. ¡°I am sorry about the loss of yourte alpha, the death of the beta, the abduction of your new alpha and also for what has befall your homes few days ago. Each soul lost in that battle didn¡¯t die for no reason but for a loyal course. They died while trying to protect the lives of their loved ones and this pack. So I, alpha king Sky would do everything in my power to find those rogues and make them pay with their lives!¡± I let out a sigh of relief after I ended my speech.


    No one said a word. Gamma Albert started pping and the pack members joined in until he raised his hand up to silence them.  ¡°The alpha king has given us his words.¡± Gamma Albert said as he looked at me. ¡°You have our full support, my alpha king.¡± He bowed and the rest did the same too.


    ¡°Please rise.¡± I instructed and they obeyed.


    ¡°You can all go back to your homes.¡± Gamma Albert said and the pack members started to leave but it didn¡¯t go by without them murmuring to themselves.


    Gamma Albert turned to face me again and he gestured to Cain toe close. ¡± Alpha king, I know you have met Cain but let me reintroduce him. Alpha king, please meet Cain, the head of warrior in our pack.¡±


    Cain bowed to me. ¡°It is good to see you again alpha king and I am grateful to you for sending your men to protect us.¡±


    ¡°I am d to help.¡± I replied.


    ¡°Cain please go ahead and help our men in the infirmary while I attend to the alpha king.¡± Gamma Albert instructed. And Cain bowed again before walking away.


    ¡°Let us go to the alpha¡¯s home.¡± Gamma Albert pointed towards a direction that my eyes followed immediately


    ¡°Your Highness!¡±


    ¡°Alpha King Sky!¡±


    I heard two different nervous little voices calling out to me. Then when I turned, I saw a group of children looking straight at me.


    ¡°What is going on Laurence?¡± Gamma Albert asked with confusion in his tone.


    A boy of about seven years old stepped forward. ¡°Father, we want to have a word with the alpha king.¡± He replied with confidence.


    ¡°Come on son, this isn¡¯t the time to joke around..¡± Gamma Albert ced his hands on his waist.


    ¡°We are serious father.¡± Another girl of about the same age spoke up.


    ¡°Laura-¡±


    I silenced the Gamma when he tried to object to the children¡¯s words. And it wasn¡¯t hard to tell that Laurence and Laura are twins and the boy looks so much like their father.


    ¡°Speak children.¡± I instructed. And the children smiled happily and whispered into each other¡¯s ears before looking back at me.


    ¡°Bow to the alpha king!¡± Laurence ordered and they all obeyed him.


    ¡°Please rise children.¡± I said and they all straightened up to look at me.


    ¡°Please save alpha Mia!¡± Laura spoke up and the others chanted.


    ¡°Please save alpha Mia! Please save alpha Mia! Please save alpha Mia!¡± The children chanted in unison.


    Gamma Albert silenced them with his hands. ¡°Okay children, the alpha king already gave his word that he will save our alpha.¡± He said


    Laura stepped closer with her cute face staring up straight at me.  ¡°Alpha Mia said that you the alpha king is her mate, is that really true?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Laura, we agreed to beg the alpha king to save our alpha and not asking silly questions.¡± Laurence scolded his sister. The other children began to murmur in agreement to what the boy just said.


    Laura turned to face her twin brother. ¡°I do what I want!¡± She snapped at him.


    ¡®Oh! What a short tempered kid!¡¯ My wolf growled within.


    ¡°Children go¡­¡±


    Laura interrupted her father. ¡°Alpha Mia said you can¡¯t ept her as your mate because -¡±


    ¡°Now that is enough!¡± Gamma Albert silenced her.


    The other children began tough at her. Perhaps does everyone in the pack knows that I don¡¯t want to ept my mate? Why did Mia tell such a thing to these young wolves? I pondered.


    ¡°Father..¡± Laura mumbled sadly like she was about to cry.


    ¡°There she goes again.. crying like baby.¡±


    ¡°She is such a crybaby.¡±


    ¡°What does she want the alpha king to think about us now.¡±


    ¡°We shouldn¡¯t have bring her along with us.¡±


    The other childrenmented while Laura eyes welled up with tears as she covered her face with her palm.


    I crouched down to her size and removed her palms from her face. ¡°Laura.¡±


    ¡°We miss her so much because no one is willing to tell us stories under the moonlight. Alpha Mia is such a great alpha but now she is gone!¡± She sobbed.


    ¡°Such a drama queen.¡± Laurence said.


    ¡°Save our alpha.¡± Mia cried out.


    I reached my fingertips to her cheeks and wiped her teary face. ¡°I will do my best to save your alpha.¡± I said in a calm tone.


    ¡°Alive?¡± She asked.


    I nodded his head positively. ¡°Yes¡­ I believe with the help of the moon goddess, I will bring back alpha Mia alive.¡± I answered.


    ¡°Is that a promise?¡± Laurence asked.


    ¡°I was supposed to say that!¡± Laura snapped at her twin brother again.


    ¡°Oops sorry but we all agreed to talk to the alpha.¡± Laurence said with a shrug.


    ¡°I am the spokedy here.¡± Laura shot him a re.


    ¡°Children please that is enough.¡± Gamma Albert silenced them again before they start to argue.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Alpha king.. don¡¯t get me wrong.. I am such a nice girl.¡± Laura said with a pout.


    I shook my head in agreement but my wolf disapproved it. ¡®She is such a bad tempered kid.¡¯ My wolf whimpered.


    ¡°I promise to bring your alpha alive.¡± I reassured the little girl again.


    ¡°Thank you alpha King!¡± The children chorused with bright smiles on their faces.


    ¡°Can I get a hug alpha king?¡± Laura requested with a puppy face. This girl must have a way of getting everything she wants with her cute face.


    ¡°That is too much to ask from the alpha king, Laura.¡± Her father cautioned her.


    ¡°Father.. I just want one hug from the alpha.. can I?¡± Laura asked looking straight at me.


    ¡°Albert, it is alright.. she is just a kid anyways.¡± Still crouching down to her size I spread out my arms to hug the little girl.


    And then all of a sudden I started hearing a tiny voice in my mind. Perhaps is she trying to make a connection with my mind.


    ¡°Can you hear me alpha king Sky?¡± Laura asked after mind linking with me.


    Immediately I went stiff in the embrace and then she figured that I could hear her clearly.


    ¡°Our alpha will make a good Luna in the future if only you will ept her. She will also be a wise queen and then I can get a chance to visit the Doni kingdom and spend some time in the castle. Alpha Mia said it is so beautiful.¡± Laura said with excitement in her tone.


    ¡®Laura just sent us a telepathic message! Wow! I didn¡¯t know such a bad tempered kid could have such gifts.¡¯ Even my wolf was surprised. Laura is also a special werewolf.


    Then Laura stepped away from me and folded her arms. ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised that I am sending a message into your mind. I am a special werewolf.¡± She smiled.


    I couldn¡¯t do or say anything but just stare at her with a dazed look on my face.


    ¡°Thanks for the hug alpha king Sky!¡± She said loudly with a bow.


    I managed to smile as I got back on my feet. ¡°Don¡¯t worry children, I will bring back your alpha safely.¡± I said after clearing my throat.


    Laura smiled at me before turning to face the other children. ¡°So friends! The alpha king already gave us his words, so let us prepare for the arrival of alpha Mia!¡± She coaxed. And the children uttered words of appreciation to me.


    ¡°Now we can continue praying to moon goddess to protect her.¡± Laura addressed the children and they shook their heads in approval.


    ¡°Okay.. let us just go and pray then prepare for her arrival.¡± Laurence added.


    The children turned to leave with only Laura left looking at me. ¡°There is a reason why the moon goddess paired you with my alpha.¡± She uttered into my mind again.


    And this time I knew it wasn¡¯t just her talking. It felt like the moon goddess just spoke to me through this little girl.


    ¡°Go ahead Laura.¡± Gamma Albert said.


    ¡°Okay.. Father.¡± Laura bowed slightly before she turned to leave. ¡°Peace¡­ that is all I see.¡± I heard her say softly again.


    Laura turned to face me again with a huge smile on her face and she waved before racing off. Flint of hope welled up wishing me at her words.


    ¡®Oh moon goddess! The hot tempered kid is wise and it is surprising as to how a little girl could say such things.¡¯ My wolfmented.


    ¡°My Lord, I am sorry about the kids.¡± Gamma Albert apologized.


    ¡°You have great kids. I think.. I like Laura¡± Imented.


    Gamma Albert smiled. ¡°Laura is a special werewolf like her mom who is the best theta we have in our pack. And my daughter canmunicate with someone through the mind.¡± He said.


    ¡°I figured that out-¡± My voice trailed off immediately but it was toote


    ¡°Did she do it with you? Was it when she hugged you?¡± Gamma Albert gasped out.


    I shook my head. ¡°What did she say to you?¡± The Gamma questioned frantically.


    ¡°I think that should remain between us.¡± I replied.


    ¡°Oh okay.¡± Gamma Albert bowed apologetically before we resumed walking.

 EPISODE 13

    THEME: The secret of the past


    CRESCENT PACK


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    Gamma Albert led I and some of my men straight to thete alpha¡¯s home. When we stepped in, my gaze flickered to the pictures ofte alpha Zion and his wife hanging on the walls. I stared closely at Luna Lillian¡¯s picture and soon realized that Mia was just the chip of an old block.


    ¡°Alpha King?¡± Gamma Albert called and I looked up at him. ¡°If you woulde with me to the alpha¡¯s study.¡± He said.


    I shook my head in agreement and we started to walk up the stairs but Gamma Albert stopped my men. ¡°I would like only the alpha king toe with me.¡± He said.


    ¡°And why is that?¡± Kelvin demanded with a raised eyebrow.


    ¡°Only the alpha is needed to see whatever is in the study.¡± Gamma Albert answered.


    ¡°I have to be with the alpha to -¡± I raised up my hand up to silence Kelvin.


    ¡°You might help us secure the territory with my warriors.¡± Gamma Albert coaxed.


    I mind linked kelvin to obey Gamma Albert. ¡°I can handle him.¡±


    ¡°Are we to trust anyone at this moment?¡± Kelvin asked through the link.


    ¡°I don¡¯t trust anyone but I just need to find my mate. He might know something since he was the closest to thete alpha Zion.¡± I replied.


    ¡°What if he is working for the enemy?¡± Kelvin asked.


    ¡°Then I will have to find out the identity of the enemy and then kill them¡­ all of them.¡± I responded.


    ¡°Alright¡­ be careful my alpha king.¡±  We exchanged nces and then Kelvin bowed before leaving me with Gamma Albert.


    ¡°Alpha King, pleasee with me.¡± Albert said.


    I nodded in agreement and Gamma Albert led the way to the study. And when we stepped into therge sized study Gamma Albert went straight to thete alpha Zion¡¯s desk. Gamma Albert cleared his throat before speaking up.


    ¡°Few years ago, a royal blood from Donia kingdom came to alpha Zion.¡± Gamma Albert  started as he picked up a file from the desk. ¡°The royal blood asked for the alpha¡¯s help to dethrone your father.¡± He picked up a diary from the mahogany desk.


    The study was arge sized room filled with books on mini shelves and an all round couches. Somehow I could still sense the scent which had my wolf jumping around in excitement mixed with a bit of sadness. I assumed that Mia must have spent most of her time in the office after her father¡¯s death because her alluring scent was still thick in the air.


    ¡°Who is this royal blood?¡± I asked the Gamma.


    ¡°I am in no position to tell you.¡± Gamma Albert responded.


    Is this a joke? He asked me toe to the pack to find that truth and now he doesn¡¯t want to tell me about it. . ¡°Albert.. I need to know.¡±  I gritted my teeth trying to control my fury.


    Gamma Albert looked at me. ¡°Aren¡¯t you interested in knowing the whole story?¡± He asked.


    I cautioned my wolf to calm down. I folded my arms and then sighed after a minute. ¡°I am listening.¡±


    ¡°When Mia was just seven, she was abducted because the alpha refused to help the royal blood dethrone your father. Alpha Zion couldn¡¯t watch his daughter die in the hands of the royal blood so he had to ept the royal blood offer.¡± Gamma Albert paused to probably study my expression because he was looking straight into my eyes.


    ¡°I never knew all of these happened.¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know all these things too until the day thete alpha was about to leave the pack. Alpha Zion knew that he was going to die in the hands of the royal blood and then.. he was poisoned. And when the alpha was on his death bed, he gave me the honor of reading his diary.¡± Gamma Albert exined the whole truth.


    He told me how the alpha was fed with a type of poison he had created and how he made the antidote before leaving the pack. The royal blood fed Alpha Zion with the poison by putting it in his food. And then the poison affected his whole body and he couldn¡¯t walk. The truth isplicated but I choose to know the royal blood. All these things happened and I didn¡¯t know all this time that there was a traitor in my kingdom!


    ¡°He was poisoned and on his death bed my alpha asked me just one thing which was to protect his daughter¡­ but I failed him. I feel so bad for failing him.¡± Gamma Albert said in a sad tone. ¡°He was too strong, too powerful that he was able to break down the magical boundary built round our territory.¡± He added quickly.


    Whoever this traitor should get ready to face my wrath. I am never going to spare him even if it turns out to be my blood rtive! ¡°Who built the boundary?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Back to the abduction story.. Mia was released five weeks after she was abducted and so the alpha got a witch to build the magical boundary. And when the alpha also took ill, he begged Mia to strengthen the boundary. But I assume that the alpha already knew the royal blood woulde¡­ he just wanted to protect his pack members.¡± I narrated.


    If the royal blood had broken down the magical boundary then how on earth did he managed to capture my powerful mate?! My face hardened. ¡°How did he manage to capture Mia so easily? She is an alpha and she also has powers as a witch¡­ so what really happened?¡± I asked.


    ¡°The first thing he did was disarming her by using her weakness against her.¡± Gamma Albert  replied.


    ¡°What weakness?¡± I asked with snapped eyebrows.


    ¡°Snakes¡­ Mia never liked snakes as a little girl because when she was just five, trying to train she went hunting in her wolf form but got bitten by a deadly snake which nearly took her life. So snakes became her weakness. She feels tormented anytime shees in contact with one.¡±  Gamma Albert exined.


    ¡°So he tormented her with a snake?¡± I asked in fear. I don¡¯t even want to think back on the images that are starting to form in my mind¡¯s eye.


    ¡°Yes.. yes.. his snake bit her when she wanted to fight him right after he seeded in killing our beta. I don¡¯t know how he made a snake appear out of nowhere! The snake attacked her and she became so weak that she couldn¡¯t defend herself and I couldn¡¯t save her either.!¡± Gamma Albert rubbed his temple hard and I watched him try to suppress his anger.


    ¡°Sometime ago, alpha Zion stated it that he doesn¡¯t want to be part of the n, so in turn the royal blood kept sending spies to Donia kingdom just to paint alpha Zion as the enemy. My alpha has given up on wanting the throne even after the war.¡± He walked around the desk.


    ¡°So the note Kelvin gave me earlier it had something to do with what you just said..¡± I asked and Albert nodded positively.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°He stated that the alpha would pay for letting him down.¡± He replied.


    All of a sudden I started feeling ufortable and then I grabbed his neck like I was being strangled and out of breathe.


    ¡°Alpha king Sky!¡± Gamma Albert rushed towards me.


    ¡°I think¡­ she is¡­ in pain..¡± I managed to say. ¡°But I.. can¡¯t¡­ really..¡± My voice trailed off.


    ¡°I am pretty sure that she would try to stop you from feeling her pains.¡± Gamma Albert said as he helped me so t on the biggest couch.


    ¡°How do you know?¡± I asked after a moment of silence.


    ¡°She is my alpha.¡± Gamma Albert answered.


    ¡°Howe you can tell what is happening to her?¡± I caressed my neck softly.


    ¡°I know her very well¡­¡± Gamma Albert folded his arms. ¡°Alpha Zion left Mia in my wife¡¯s care while he tended to pack issues. So she is like a daughter to me.¡± He answered.


    ¡°If you know about her whereabout then tell me so I can -¡±


    The Gamma cut me off sharply. ¡°I think I do.¡±


    ¡°Then tell me.. I need to save her.¡± I said in a rush as I stood up from the couch quickly.


    ¡°Why do you want to save her?¡± Gamma Albert asked out of the blues.


    ¡°She is my mate!¡± I responded with a grit. Is there another reason why I should save her aside that she is my mate!


    ¡°Pardon me alpha king, you want to save my alpha just because she is your mate? But you haven¡¯t epted her as your mate.¡± Gamma Albert let out a snort and walked back to the mahogany desk. ¡°I feel you want to save Mia not because she is your mate but you don¡¯t want to hurt your wolf and to stop any form of pain.¡± He stated clearly.


    ¡°That¡¯s not -¡±


    ¡°You just want to save my alpha because if she dies then your wolf will get weak and the alpha king must not be weak so he can be able to rule Donia Kingdom.¡± Gamma Albert stated clearly as he tapped his fingers on the table.


    In a swift movement I moved to the huge mahogany desk. ¡°I don¡¯t have time for talks! And I don¡¯t really care about the reasons why I want to save, Mia!¡± I grimaced.


    Gamma Albert clenched his fists and bared his teeth at me and it pissed my wolf..  ¡°You are only concerned about yourself and not Mia!¡±


    The gamma is provoking my wolf that I am trying so hard to calm down. My wolf doesn¡¯t like to be  disrespected! And in a swift movement, I had Gamma Albert trapped in the chair he sat on and my hand gripped his neck.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care about what you think of me. Why I want to save her is none of your business! Whether it is for my wolf or for her¡­ it is my business to deal with!¡± I seethe my teeth in pure anger.


    ¡°Mia.. deserves.. to be loved.. by her mate.¡± The Gamma managed to say with his hand trying to free his neck from my tight hold.


    In the same action, I dragged the Gamma out of chair. ¡°Tell me where to find her or else I will have you convicted for conspiring with the enemy!¡± My eyes flowed crimson.


    Gamma Albert struggled to free himself but I was far more stronger than him. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you think just tell me where to find her!¡± I growled in anger.


    Truth be told, I have no intention of killing the Gamma of crescent pack. I just want to know more truth from him to find his mate.

    CRESCENT PACK


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    Fear was so clear in Gamma Albert¡¯s eyes. He must be ming himself for testing and daring my wolf just to know if I really mean well for his alpha. ¡°Now will you tell me the whole truth?!¡± I demanded.


    Gamma Albert nodded and I released him. Albert grabbed his neck immediately and coughed out while I gave him enough time to recover by pacing to and fro the room.


    ¡°We aren¡¯t talking about one enemy here.. that royal blood has lot of alphas and men working for him.¡± Gamma Albert revealed.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Albert tell me where to find Mia, then I will face and deal with the enemy!¡± My face twisted with a scowl.


    ¡°Even if I tell you the ce only you can¡¯t stand a chance against them.¡± Gamma Albert coughed again.


    ¡°They want me right? And that is why they took my mate.¡± I said.


    ¡°Yes.. they want you dead so the royal blood can have the Donia throne.¡± Gamma Albert replied.


    I clenched my fists almost cracking my knuckles. Mia doesn¡¯t have anything to do in this game of throne. ¡°Albert.. I will like to meet this royal blood. I don¡¯t care if I die in the end, all I care about is saving my mate and bringing her back to her pack safely. If I survive then I will make them pay for causing my mate pain!¡± I gritted.


    Gamma Albert stared at me as if I have grown two heads or something. I turned away from the gamma and ran my hand over my face in frustration.


    ¡°Finally.. that is what I wanted to hear from you, alpha king Sky!¡± Gamma Albert coaxed.


    I turned to face him with my eyebrows drawing together in confusion. ¡°What do you mean?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I wanted to be sure if you care about Mia and not just saving her for the sake of your wolf.¡± Gamma Albert answered.


    I looked away from the gamma. That has been my thought before I got the confirmation from Kira the witch that mating Mia would surely bring peace to my kingdom. Even little Laura mentioned the same thing to me. So I am willing to take the risks and ept her.


    ¡°Do you want her as your mate?¡± Gamma Albert asked after some moment of silence.


    ¡°That¡¯s my choice to make.¡± I responded with a re. This wolf is wasting too much time with silly talks!


    Gamma Albert nodded in agreement.¡±I am d it is you.¡± He mumbled.


    I let out a sigh of frustration. ¡°Albert, tell me where to find my mate.¡± I stated knowing that  Gamma Albert knew where my mate was taken to by the enemy.


    ¡°The elders table.¡± Gamma Albert said again after some moment of silence.


    ¡°What is that?¡± I asked with a confused expression.


    ¡°ording to what I found, the elders table is a secret ce where the people working for the royal bloodes together to n how to dethrone you.¡± Gamma Albert responded.


    ¡°How..¡± My voice broke off as I wondered thoughtfully. The more I find out the truth the more hatred I have towards this royal blood. My wolf is really furious to know this royal blood who is a traitor!


    ¡°Alpha Zion wrote it down in his diary that you can only get to the elders table in a second by dark magic.¡± Gamma Albert exined further.


    I raised my eyebrows at the gamma¡¯s words. ¡°Dark magic?¡±


    ¡°Yes.. dark magic.. it is impossible to get there without the use of dark magic.¡± Gamma Albert replied as he waved alpha Zion¡¯s old diary in the air.


    ¡°Do you know how I can get to the elders table?¡± I questioned.


    Gamma Albert shook his head positively. ¡°I know how you can get there but I aming with you.¡±


    ¡°No, you have to stay and guard your pack as the gamma. Your pack members needs you now more than ever.¡± I objected.


    ¡°Alright¡­ but promise me you will bring back our alpha alive.¡± Gamma Albert¡¯s voice pleaded with me.


    ¡°She is my mate so I don¡¯t want her dead. By the grace of the moon goddess, I will bring her back alive.¡± I said with fierce protectiveness in my tone.


    ¡°I will be waiting.¡± Gamma Albert bowed.


    ¡°You have my word, Albert.¡± I said.


    ¡°Then pleasee with me..¡± Gamma Albert said as he led me to a firece in the room. ¡°Please crouch down in the firece.¡± He instructed.


    I looked up at him and then back to the firece. ¡°My body is bigger than the firece.¡± I replied.


    ¡°Yes.. you have the same height as thete alpha and he uses it more often.¡± Gamma Albert said.


    I managed to bend a little in it while Gamma Albert went back to the mahogany desk nearby and grabbed a little back bag from the drawer.


    ¡°Are you ready?¡± He asked.


    I nodded in response. ¡°More than ready to save our mate.¡± My wolf said internally.


    Gamma Albert sprinkle a dusty substance on me. ¡°It would help hide your scent from the enemy but it wears off after some minutes of arrival. And it would be wise to not say a word to anyone when you get there.¡± He gave out the orders for the magic.


    ¡°Why? And how am I to confront the so called enemy for abducting my mate?¡± I asked.


    ¡°This substance isn¡¯t for you but the alpha and you are not going to confront anyone but save Mia. When you get back here with my alpha then you can find the enemy.¡± Gamma Albert responded as he sprinkled more substance on the me and all I could do was only shake my head in understanding.


    Gamma Albert stepped backward. ¡°Me sa de ancianos!¡± He chanted.


    What?! This Gamma is a wizard! Why do I feel like he knows more to this matter than he already exined to me? And wait how do I return with Mia when I am going through a short cut? I thought within but before I could get a chance to voice out the question to the gamma I disappeared.

 EPISODE 15

    THEME:  Rescuing Mia


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    I appeared in a dark tunnel and my active wolf eyes glowed for me to see clearly. I started the walk without making any footstep sound and soon I came out of the tunnel only to hear voices.


    ¡°Where are you going Santos?¡± A masculine voice said


    ¡°The master asks us to bring the alpha king¡¯s mate to his chambers.¡± Another voice replied.


    ¡®The master? And the alpha king¡¯s mate?! Oh my goddess! Mia! The enemy wants our mate in his chambers!¡¯ My wolf urged me to let it out just to rip of their heads but I kept the wolf at bay.


    I hid myself back in the tunnel when the wolf named Santos almost saw my figure. I remembered that Gamma Albert had said that I shouldn¡¯t talk to anyone so the substance for hiding my scent won¡¯t fade off. I knew just one thing, I have to do something to stop them from taking my mate to the enemy¡¯s chambers.


    ¡°Stay here on guard while I bring her out.¡± I heard Santo voice again.


    Whoever the master is must be the royal blood Gamma Albert mentioned to me. Santos went another way while the other wolf stayed back.


    ¡®Time to attack!¡¯ My wolf groaned. So I made a hit on the wall to attract the warrior¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Who is out there?¡± He asked.


    Then I sensed footsteps approaching the tunnel so I appeared in front of the warrior and his eyes widened in shock when he saw me.


    ¡°Alpha king Sky!¡± He gasped.


    I could see a glint of fear in his eyes and it wasn¡¯t hard to tell that my alpha scent was too strong for the substance the gamma poured on me. So I decided to break the rule Gamma Albert told me. I dragged the warrior deeper into the tunnel, putting out the light he held with my boot.


    ¡°Who is the master?!¡± I whispered in a harsh tone, pinning the warrior hard against the walls of the tunnel. I couldn¡¯t y dumb even though the gamma said I shouldn¡¯t talk to anyone.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about.¡± The warrior replied.


    He wouldn¡¯t confess just like the other spies because they must have taken an oath to never reveal the secret. I thought. Then I resorted in using my powers, I tilted the warrior¡¯s face to look straight into my eyes. I hit him in the stomach when he tried to avoid the contact. The warrior knew what I was trying to do.


    ¡°Look at me!¡± I said in amanding tone and he obeyed me. ¡°I am your alpha king.¡± I gritted and could feel my eyes glowing crimson. ¡°Let your loyalty be with me.¡± Ipelled the warrior.


    To be honest, I have never usedpulsion on any wolf because my alpha presence had always been useful but not with rogues or spies and that¡¯s because they always pledged allegiance to their master. This is just an ordinary wolf.


    ¡°Who is the master?! And what is his mission?!¡± I growled.


    And several minutester, I got all the information I needed from the warrior. I felt a bit weak after hearing the whole truth from him. At the mention of the enemy¡¯s name on the warrior¡¯s lips I felt betrayed. But at that point, I knew I had to be strong to save my mate. Mia was right! She said the enemy was someone close and indeed he was someone dear to me!


    ¡°Where is my mate?¡± I questioned the warrior.


    ¡°She is in the dungeon.¡± The warrior replied weakly.


    ¡°Dungeon?¡± I repeated.


    Then the warrior nodded. ¡°Follow the path Santos went¡­¡± And all of a sudden the warrior started coughing out blood and before he could finish his words he slumped to the ground.


    The warrior must have died because he spilled the truth when he had taken a oath to never say a word about the enemy. So I dragged the warrior¡¯s body out of the tunnel. I followed the path Santos went and soon held a loud scream in the air.


    Mia ! What¡¯s that bastard doing to her?! I thought deeply. I raced fast by following her scent which led me to a dark area but I could only see a dim light ahead. Mia¡¯s screams filled the air again and I rushed into the dungeon without minding what could be in it. All I wanted was to see and save my mate.


    I met Santos trying to force himself on Mia while she struggled to stop him. ¡°Please¡­ don¡¯t do this!¡± She begged him but he didn¡¯t listen. Santos continued to pull at her skirt as he pinned her to the ground.


    My wolf became furious, in a swift movement I grabbed Santo and threw him off against the wall nearby. When Santos regained his strength, he gasped in shock when his eyes met mine.


    ¡°Al.. pha.. king?¡± He said unsteadily.


    ¡°I will kill you!¡± A growl reverberated from my throat as I went to Santos again and lunched several punches on him before ripping off his head from his body.


    Mia screamed when she saw the bloody scene. I went to her but she kept screaming and moving backwards until she was against the wall, shivering before falling to the ground.


    ¡°No.. no.. no¡­¡± she sobbed.


    I moved closer to my mate. ¡°Mia.¡± She avoided me when I tried to touch her even without looking into my eyes.


    ¡°Please don¡¯t touch me¡­ don¡¯t kill me.. I didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡± She sobbed with her palms on her face.  Mia was looking tattered and dirty.


    ¡°Mia.. it is Sky.. alpha king Sky.. your mate.. I am here for you.¡± I said in a calm tone.


    When Mia looked up at the me, my heart broke into pieces at the sight of her face. One of her eyes was bloodshot and I could see dried blood drops from her nostrils and she had other bruises on her face and body. She wasn¡¯t the beautiful Mia whom I had met few days ago.


    Mia stood up slowly and went to shut the gate. ¡°No.. no.. it can¡¯t be.. you are not the alpha king.¡± she whispered to herself as she held on to the gate. ¡°You are not the alpha king¡­ this must be another hallucination!¡± She cried out loud. ¡°The alpha king would nevere to get me out of here¡­¡± She nodded to no one in particr. ¡°He hates me.. he doesn¡¯t want me because of my father¡¯s deeds.. so stop hallucinating Mia.. he doesn¡¯t want you!¡± She kept chanting. ¡°He hates me.¡± She bbed continuously as if she was insane.


    Mia didn¡¯t believe that I am right here to save her. Mia thought she was seeing things again. So I went to her again but stopped few steps away from where she stood. ¡°¡®Mia.. look at me..¡± I  said but she didn¡¯t look at me. ¡°I am here for you. I am right here to save you.¡±


    Mia ced her palms at the sides of her ears. ¡°Disappear and stop tormenting me! No! I can¡¯t take this anymore¡­!¡± She cried and moved to the wall.


    And once again my eyes did a slow crawl on her small frame, she had wounds on her legs and it reflected in her steps. I didn¡¯t want to touch her so she won¡¯t be more frightened by my sudden presence.


    ¡°Look at me.. Mia!¡± I yelled then she made a quick turn to look at me and this time with a shocking look on her face.


    I tried to calm down. ¡°Mia¡­ it is Sky.¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°Are you really here?¡± She whispered.


    Then I went to her. ¡°Yes, Mia. I am here to get you.¡± I answered.


    Mia moved slowly to my side and touched my hand to confirm if she wasn¡¯t really hallucinating my presence again. ¡°You are here¡­ but you shouldn¡¯t see me like this¡­¡± She turned away, feeling very ashamed of her appearance.


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t see me like this.. I am in such a mess..¡± Mia limped away from me with evident  of pains in her eyes.


    Tears clouded my vision as I pulled her into my arms gently. It is all my fault. I should have epted her and make her stay in my kingdom. I shouldn¡¯t have tried to push her away for her father¡¯s deed. ¡°I am sorry¡­ please forgive for letting this to happen to you. It is all my fault¡­ I am sorry.¡± I whispered and then Mia cried out in my arms.


    ¡°I swear.. I didn¡¯t mean to hurt you. I had no idea about these things.¡±


    As if Mia had let down the boundary she had built around our connection my wolf whimpered while she was in my arms. And I started to feel her pains through our upleted bond and I also felt my wolf connecting with hers again.


    I didn¡¯t stop apologizing to my mate for not showing up on time to save her. I begged her to forgive me for not epting her when we first met and for hating her for her father¡¯s deeds.


    Mia pulled away from the embrace. ¡°My.. alpha.. king, you don¡¯t need.. to apologize.¡± She said unsteadily.


    ¡°I am sorry.¡± I apologized again. I feel terribly seeing the bruises and wounds on her face.


    ¡°How did you find me?¡± Mia pulled a bit away from me but slowly and gently.


    ¡°I will tell you everything when we get back to your pack.¡± I responded.


    I grabbed her hand and would have lead her out of the cell. ¡°I can¡¯t leave now.¡± She stopped me.


    My eyebrows drew together in confusion. ¡°Why?¡±


    Mia showed me a lock on her wrist. ¡°It is stopping my powers¡­¡± She said.


    ¡°Who is with the keys?¡± I demanded.


    Mia pointed to Santos without looking at the bloody body. I went to the body and searched his pocket, then I found a bunch of keys on the deceased body.C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    ¡°The smallest one¡­¡± She muttered.


    I took out the smallest key and unlocked the lock. ¡°Thank¡­¡± Her voice trailed off when we heard voices. ¡°They are here. He is here.¡±  She panicked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.. I will take you out of here save and alive.¡± I promised.

 EPISODE 16

    THEME:  Mission Possible


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    Mia groaned in pains when I lifted her up in my arms in bridal style and walked out of the cell towards the tunnel. ¡°Bear with me for a while.¡± I said in a tight whisper and she nodded. I uttered a profanity when I remembered that I didn¡¯t ask Gamma Albert how we would return back to the pack.


    ¡°Is everything okay?¡± Mia questioned


    ¡°I didn¡¯t remember to ask Gamma Albert how to bring us back to the pack.¡± I answered.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.. just set me down¡­¡± She said.


    ¡°Why? I am not leaving without you.¡± I stated.


    ¡°Just me put down.. they will be here soon.¡± She panicked and I obeyed.


    ¡°Look! It is the alpha king!¡± Someone screamed.


    Mia held my hand in hers and she began to chant some strange words. A familiar voice which I recognized yelled out at the warriors. ¡°Get them now!¡±


    I looked up to see the royal blood and I gritted in anger. ¡°I will make you pay!¡± I mouthed.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let them go!¡± The royal blood whose identity was now revealed snarled at the warriors.


    The warriors rushed at us but couldn¡¯t get to us because of the boundary Mia has just created. My mate was right when she had said the enemy was someone close and dear to me. These words echoed in my mind. All of a sudden, Mia and I disappeared into the thin air.


    *****


    It was surprising how we appeared at the boundary of Crescent Pack, the same spot where I had first met the gamma. ¡°We should head back to the pack now, your members are waiting.¡± Once again I made an attempt to carry her but Mia side stepped me.


    ¡°Thank you for saving my life but you should head back to your kingdom now.¡± She said.


    ¡®I think she is trying to push us away.¡¯  My wolf said to me.


    ¡°No, I am not leaving here without you.¡± I objected.


    Mia shook her head in disagreement. ¡± No.. no.. this isn¡¯t about me.¡± She said.


    ¡°Listen to me, I am sorry I tried to shut you out the first time we met. Mia, I wouldn¡¯t have forgiven myself if something bad had happened to you.. If that bastard had touched you.¡± There was a look of sincerity on my face.


    ¡°Well he almost did.. but¡­ I begged him¡­ with a promise that you woulde find me.¡± Tears slipped down her cheeks.


    ¡°Mia.. you were right about what you said. The enemy is someone close to me.¡± I said.


    ¡°Do you know him?¡± Mia asked


    ¡°Yes.¡± I nodded.


    ¡°That is why you should leave right now¡­ your kingdom is in danger. He nned to take away your throne tonight, so if you don¡¯t want to lose it.. leave right now and save your kingdom.¡± Mia delivered the message in a rush.


    ¡°Mia¡­ to be honest.. I don¡¯t want to leave you. I am your mate so I have to protect you.¡± I just want to help her back to the pack and fulfill my promises to the members of bringing back their alpha alive.


    ¡°Protect your kingdom.. first and I will be fine.¡± She said.


    ¡°No, you are not fine. Look at yourself¡­ you are damaged! I am going back with you to the pack!¡± I yelled before realizing that I shouldn¡¯t have done it.


    A hurtful expression crossed her face. ¡°You should leave¡­ save your kingdom or else he would -¡± she stuttered.


    Seeing her battered face is hurting my wolf deeply. ¡°Let him take it! I don¡¯t care!¡± I shouted.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ¡°No! You can¡¯t let that happen! The people of Donia needs you to fight for them! That is why you have to go now!¡± She screamed back at me.


    ¡°And so what is an alpha king without a Luna?! Or even his Queen? He almost killed you!¡± I snarled with a bared teeth.


    ¡°Yes¡­ he almost did but he wouldn¡¯t have done that because he wanted me! He said he would marry me as his mistress once he have the Donia throne. You.. can¡¯t let him have the throne.. and marry me too.¡± She cried.


    My wolf became angrier. ¡°He said that to you?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Yes.. he said a lot of things.. but thanks to moon goddess that you showed up to save me.¡± She sobbed.


    ¡°Damn it! I¡¯ll destroy him!¡± I grimaced.


    I tried to think things in my head, remembering the words of Gamma Albert and then this real enemy. Then it became clear to me that truly alpha Zion was never the enemy! My own blood and close friend wanted my throne and even nned to marry off my mate for himself.


    ¡°You have to go before he seed! I don¡¯t want to be his mistress.¡± She pleaded.


    I leaned closer to my mate and cupped her face in my hands. ¡°Listen to me Mia, he won¡¯t take you as his mistress. You are my mate.¡± I grounded out with fierce protectiveness stirring within me.


    ¡°Alpha king!¡± Suddenly I heard Cullen¡¯s voice in my mind.


    ¡°I have to talk to the general for a minute.¡± I informed Mia before moving away.


    ¡°I have been trying to reach you! We found the enemy!¡± Cullen eximed. ¡°Alpha king it is-¡±


    ¡°Old Ben.¡± I interrupted him.


    ¡°My alpha king, how did you find out?¡± Cullen asked.


    ¡°I will tell youter. Is the Illusion still intact?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Yes the witch renewed it.¡± Cullen answered.


    ¡°So how did you find him?¡± I requested.


    ¡°Someone tried to murder me in your chambers in the midnight. I captured him and tortured him until he confessed that Old Ben sent him to murder the alpha king.¡± General Cullen exined.


    Eunuch Cole¡¯s n really worked. With the powers of illusion, Cullen looked exactly like me. I had picked Cullen because he was skilled and a trusted friend to me so in case anyone tries to kill him he would be able to fight back.


    ¡°My alpha king, I feel there are more people working for him.¡± General Cullen said.


    ¡°Yes.. I found his aplice.. find him and throw Old Ben in the darkest dungeon in the pce!¡± I ordered.


    ¡°Yes my alpha king!¡± Cullen replied.


    ¡°And prepare the men for war because his men will be close to the city gate soon. And Cullen please protect the citizens of Donia Kingdom.¡± I said finally.


    ¡°Yes, alpha king!¡± Then Cullen growled out before I disconnected the link.


    My wolf didn¡¯t want to leave our mate in this state but I also have to protect my kingdom.


    ¡°Is everything okay?¡± Mia asked.


    ¡°Yes, I have ordered for the arrest of old Ben and my men are preparing for war.¡± I replied.


    ¡°They still need you.¡± Mia muttered weakly.


    ¡°Mia, promise me that you will testify as a witness in the Donia Court once I capture my enemy.¡± I whispered.


    Mia nodded in agreement. ¡°Alright.¡± She said


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you healing?¡± I questioned.


    ¡°My wolf is weak¡­¡±


    ¡°He injected you with silver?¡± I asked again.


    Mia looked away and nodded. ¡°No, every pain I am feeling right now is to pay for what my father did to your mother.¡±


    I shook my head in disagreement. ¡°I have forgiven him so you don¡¯t have to punish yourself for your father¡¯s deeds.¡±


    Alpha Zion was forced to join the elders table to save his daughter but I couldn¡¯t tell Mia about it.. not now. Gamma Albert is the best person to tell her everything.


    ¡°Mia, heal with your powers, revive your weak wolf before it causes a permanent damage.¡± My voice pleaded with her.


    Mia shook her head in response. But I know she won¡¯t do it. She would rather bear the pain and heal slowly. ¡°Stop being stubborn Mia.. please heal yourself.¡± My eyes continued to plead with her.


    ¡°Okay¡­¡± She mumbled.


    ¡°I have something to say.¡± I said.


    Mia looked up at me. ¡°Once all this is over, I want you in my pce.¡± I added.


    ¡°You want me¡­¡± Mia¡¯s voice broke off as tears streamed down her face.


    ¡°Yes.. yes Mia.. I want you to be my Luna. Be my Queen and I am sorry it took me a long time to say this to you.¡± I apologized.


    ¡°Are you sure about this?¡± She asked me.


    I covered the gap between us ¡°Yes Mia Zion, I ept you as my mate and I want you to be my queen.¡±


    More tears streamed down her cheeks. I knew my wolf won¡¯t forgive me if I didn¡¯t tell Mia what was on my mind before leaving for my kingdom. I tilted her jaw to look straight at me and slowly by lipsnded on Mia¡¯s and she gasped in shock. It took her a second to adjust and kiss me back and I could feel our wolves connecting again.


    I had to let her go when she groaned in pains after my hand moved to her waist. ¡°I am sorry.. I didn¡¯t mean to..¡±


    She shed me a small smile. ¡°No.. no.. I am fine.. it is just a slight pain there.¡± She said.


    ¡°What exactly did he do to you?¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°We don¡¯t have time¡­¡± She said.


    ¡°Yes.. Yes.. you are right.¡± I leaned in and kissed her forehead.


    ¡°I will be waiting for you.. please be safe.¡± Mia embraced me.

    DONIA KINGDOM


    TWO WEEKS DAYS LATER


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    ¡°Rise and bow to the alpha king and alpha queen of Donia kingdom.¡± Eunuch Cole called out when Mia and I got to the entrance of the throne hall. The seventeen officials instead of eighteen, Old Ben has been stripped off his title raised up to their feet and bowed to me and my queen as we strode towards the royal seats.


    ¡°The alpha king and queen are seated, you may take your seats.¡± Eunuch Cole announced. Mia shed me a small but bright smile when our eyes met.


    ¡°Bring forth the prisoners!¡± General Cullen screamed out.


    Four Donia warriors dragged in Old Ben and Daniel into the hall. Daniel is old Ben¡¯s son who happened to be a very close friend and even rtive.


    ¡°And herees the enemies of Donia kingdom! Treacherous fellows!¡± I said loudly while everyone began to murmur in disgust.


    ¡°And here are their -¡±


    I interrupted eunuch Cole ¡°Don¡¯t read out their offense, Cole. We already know their crimes in the previous hearing.¡±  I instructed.


    At the previous hearing which took ce four days ago, Mia and Gamma Albert had testified against old Ben and his son just to prove alpha Zion¡¯s Innocence.


    ¡°On this final hearing, old Ben and Daniel are you guilty or not guilty?¡±  Eunuch Cole asked.


    None of them gave a response instead old Ben bowed his head in shame.


    Eunuch Cole repeated his words. ¡°Are you guilty?¡± He asked.


    ¡°I am guilty.¡± Old Ben answered.


    ¡°No, father! You can¡¯t say that we are guilty!¡± Daniel shouted.


    Everyone gasped in shock.  ¡°Speak out Daniel, tell this Donia court why you are not guilty. And prove your innocence to get a fair judgment.¡± Eunuch Cole instructed.


    ¡°I am not guilty because my father deserves Donia throne!¡± Daniel snarled at eunuch Cole.


    ¡°Why do you think your father deserves this throne?¡± I snorted.


    ¡°My father helped your father win the war against Crescent Pack.¡± Daniel answered.


    ¡°So is that enough reason to wage war against me and also abduct my mate?!¡± I demanded.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Daniel snapped.


    ¡°But your father isn¡¯t the only one who helped my father fight that war! There are many others here who supported him and my father rewarded everyone greatly by making them officials in the court!¡± I grounded out in anger.


    ¡°Please pardon him, it wasn¡¯t his fault. I had my eyes on the throne not him.¡± Old Ben pleaded.


    ¡°Father don¡¯t beg for mercy, we deserve the Donia throne since his father failed in fulfilling his promise to establish a province where you would rule as a leader!¡± Daniel bared his teeth in anger with no feeling of remorse on his expression.


    I snapped my eyebrows together. ¡°Old Ben, did my father make such promise to you?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Yes, he promised to make a separate province where I could rule as a leader and rte all affairs to him.¡± Old Ben answered.


    ¡°Do you have a royal document for his statement?¡± I asked.


    ¡°No, your father just stated it but he didn¡¯t fulfill it because he became so sad after your mother¡¯s death.¡± Old Ben responded sincerely.


    ¡°But he should have fulfill it! A promise is a promise!¡± Daniel gritted.


    ¡°That is not enough reason to wage war against me and kidnap my mate but let us just say you are greedy for power!¡± I snarled at him.


    ¡°You are right.¡± Old Ben admitted shaking his head.


    ¡°No Father! Tell him how his father didn¡¯t make you a king while Sky was growing up when the alpha king was too weak to rule!¡± Daniel fought against the Donia warriors.


    Old Ben shook his head in disagreement. ¡°No.. no Daniel, we are guilty. His father never promised to make me king, I was only angry that he didn¡¯t make me his Beta or Gamma.¡± Old Ben said.


    ¡°What? Why you didn¡¯t tell me about it?¡± Daniel gasped out in shock.


    ¡°I am sorry.¡± Old Ben apologized.


    ¡°So to get revenge on my father, you went back and try to form an alliance with alpha Zion, the same enemy we tried to get rid of at war times!¡± I snapped at them.


    ¡°Now the enemy¡¯s child is your queen.¡± Daniel snorted.


    ¡°I know everything you did, how your father abducted Mia just to get her father to work with you to dethrone my father. Alpha Zion never sent those spies, he epted defeat the moment he lost the war to my father!¡± I grimaced.


    ¡°Yes, I was behind it all. I know I am guilty but I beg you to let my son go.¡± Old Ben pleaded with me.


    ¡°So he can go and build up his armies again.¡± One of the Donia officials said.


    My expression hardened. ¡°Your son isn¡¯t innocent! He kidnapped my mate! Tortured her! And even promised to take her as his mistress ones he gets the throne!¡± This time veins already popped out of my neck.


    ¡°Did you really say that to her?¡± Old Ben asked his son.


    ¡°What is so bad about it?¡± Daniel hissed.


    ¡°I trusted you.. Daniel! You were like my right hand man. I treated you so well..¡±  I said with a look of disappointment on my face.


    ¡°If I was your right hand man then you should have made me your beta or even gamma!¡± Daniel screwed up his face.


    ¡°Then you would have seeded in taking over my kingdom if I have given you such position!¡± My eyes zed with anger.


    Danielughed deviously. ¡°Yes.. So smart¡­ I would have taken it.¡±


    ¡°Stop it Daniel!¡± Old Ben silenced himThis text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t over.. Sky!¡± Daniel seethe his teeth in anger.


    ¡°This is my judgement. Old Ben and Daniel and his men are to be executed publicly tomorrow by 12:00 p. m for Treason. And this would really serve as a lesson to the rest of you. If anyone tries to wage war against me I would kill him and his whole family!¡± I passed my judgement.


    ¡°Take them away!¡± General Cullen instructed the warriors.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t over Sky!¡± Daniel screamed as they dragged him away.


    ¡°It is over.. Daniel.¡± I waved as they dragged old Ben and his son away.


    ¡°Have mercy.. Sky!¡± Old Ben begged me.


    I spoke up after the prisoners were dragged out of the throne hall. ¡°I want to reward my loyal servants today. Cullen, I am giving you a new home right in the pce where you can move in with your family.¡± I said.


    ¡°Thank you alpha king!¡± He bowed.


    ¡°Kelvin, you have been promoted to being the personal guard to the alpha queen.¡± I said again


    ¡°Long live the alpha king and queen!¡± Kelvin bowed.


    ¡°Eunuch Cole.. you have always wanted to have a holiday outside the pce, so I am granting you two weeks break from your royal duties. And you are permitted to meet your family and relocate them to Donia kingdom if you want.¡± I added.


    Eunuch Cole wasn¡¯t married but he has a mother, father and four siblings one of whom is blind and another was suffering from Autism. And they have always wished to live in the pce.


    Eunuch Cole was shocked by my offer that he fell down on his knees with tears in his eyes. ¡°Long live alpha king Sky and alpha Queen Mia!¡± He cried out.


    ¡°And to Kira the witch, I approve your request to establish a Coven academy in the Donia Kingdom. I¡¯ll cover up all the expenses to make this work out.¡±  I dered.


    I am mated to a witch, so no doubt our offsprings would have powers because of their mother¡¯s lineage.


    ¡°Cullen would take you to the ce I have prepared.¡± I added quickly.


    ¡°Long live the Alpha King!¡± Kira bowed.


    ¡°And to all my officials, your titles are still in ce. Thank you all for your loyalty to this kingdom!¡± I coaxed.


    And everyone in the throne hall stood up.  ¡°Long live the alpha king!¡± Eunuch Cole called out.


    ¡°Long live the king!¡± They said in unison with their heads bowed.


    ¡°Long live the alpha queen!¡± Kelvin shouted.


    ¡°Long live the alpha queen!¡± They chorused.

 EPISODE FINAL 18

    THEME:  Epilogue: Marking his mate


    DONIA KINGDOM


    FEW DAYS LATER


    (Alpha King Sky¡¯s Point Of View)


    I watched Mia from her chambers window. Over time I have realized that my mate is a good wolf and she has never hated me for wanting to reject her at first meeting. Everything about her amazes me. The way she flickered the loose strands of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear, how she walked with confidence as if she knew that she was really beautiful and all eyes were always on her. The way she would wrinkle her nose when she didn¡¯t like something or someone and how observant she was to things around her. The way she nibbled on her lips when she needed something, whenever she was in deep thought, when she was worried and how polite she was even when she didn¡¯t have to be to me.


    I have watched my mate secretly do these things. I have taken out my time to unravel what else she could hide under that confident personality and it was worth it. With no doubt in my mind, I have decided toplete our mating bond.


    Mia entered the room where I stood waiting for her. ¡°Mia.¡± I called.


    Her head snapped up to look at me. Mia was surprised to find me in her room because I barely came around to see her. Since she moved into the kingdom I have been really busy doing some clean up in the affairs of my kingdom.


    ¡°Alpha king Sky¡­¡± Her voice trailed off.


    ¡°How was your time with the children?¡± I asked. My mate has taken up the job to tutor some special werewolves in the kingdom on how to use their powers. She would be working hand in hand with Kira.


    ¡°It was good, I enjoyed spending time with them. And I asked Kira to bring Joanna a girl who answered my question to the pce. We will get to have dinner for a day.¡± She exined how Joanna got the lucky ticket to spend some time with her. The little girl had answered a tricky question.


    I started towards her slowly. ¡°I am d you are doing what you like best.¡± I said.


    ¡°It is all thanks to you, alpha king Sky.¡± She bowed slightly.


    I took in her features as she stood in front of me. Her eyes reminded me of the sea and were framed by an equally dark longshes. She has a cute upturned nose but her lips was what always threw me off from the very beginning. She was a drug that was impossible to overdose on.


    Mia felt shy under my intense gaze. Her gaze also fell to the ground when she realized that I was too close and staring at her longer than expected. I covered the inch left between us, reached for her face and tilted it up so she could look up into my eyes.


    ¡°Mia..¡± My voice trailed off. She swallowed hard.


    ¡°Mia, I am sorry if I kept my distance ever since you came into the pce.¡± I apologized.


    ¡°I understand that.. you have been really busy.¡± Mia said. She understood me and that was enough for me. ¡°I also know that you have a lot to-¡±


    I leaned down and mmed my mouth against her lips, silencing her up. She stumbled back in surprise but my pair of strong hands grabbed her waist to steady her. I pulled her up to my body so that her legs was wrapped around my waist. Mia let out arge muffled gasps as I dominated her mouth roughly. We bite, sucked until our lips were swollen from the kisses.


    Mia pulled her mouth away to catch her breathe but the second she was done, I pressed my mouth to her lips once again to deepen the kiss.


    I could hear the wooden floor echoed as I started to walk up to the bed. My hands squeezed her ass and Mia¡¯s eyes widened when I slid her up and down my body so she could feel my hard erection which rubbed her core. I ced her down on the bed gently as I kissed my way down to her exposed neck.


    ¡°What do you think about having a mark?¡± I said, a voice gruff with desire.


    ¡°I.. I would love that from you as -¡± her voice broke off when I kissed the sensitive spot of her neck and bite the skin gently.


    My nerves throbbed with pleasure down to my erection and it dripped with hot nectar. A loud moan left her lips as she buried her face in my neck and her toes curled up in plead when my fangs sank into her skin. I pressed kisses to the sensitive spot before licking up the blood. I moved to her mouth and kissed her, letting her have a taste of her blood as it mixed with our saliva.


    It was a covenant of forever. And I have always dreamt of this day for so long.


    Slowly I grounded my erection against her core before pulling her up to wrap her legs around me. I  squeezed her ass pulling the cheeks apart and she kissed me at her own pace. I grunted and followed her lead, allowing her to take control as my hand rested on her ass. Soon we were dominated by our alpha spirits and we couldn¡¯t control our wild wolf desires.


    I ripped out her clothes. She also ripped off my shirt, revealing my bronze skin. It was the first time she was seeing me shirtless and she was lost of all word because all she did was stare.


    ¡°The scars.. they look attractive.¡± She mumbled.


    I wasn¡¯t perfect but I loved that the scars made me even more attractive in her eyes. I had faint scars scattered across my chest and arms and the Donia mark was there too. They were battles scars that told the story of wars that I have conquered. The scars left behind the definition of strength, bravery and pride.


    Mia traced her fingers over every curve as tears shimmered in her eyes and then she kissed me passionately. Soon her fingers found their way to the zipper of my jeans and she tugged it openly and swiftly before kissing her way down to my v-line.


    My eyes were zing with desires as I watched her pull off my jeans and boxers, revealing my throbbing manhood that was already leaking pre-cum. I moaned when she wrapped her fingers around my cock and rubbed the cum along my length as a lubricant. Her lips circled the head of my thickness and she sucked on it hard flicking her tongue over the slit.


    My hand tightened on her hair and she nced up at me from under her eyeshes, giving me a coy smile as I clenched my jaw and muttered. ¡°Fuck! Mia!¡±


    Every moan and grunt that left my mouth excited my wolf even as I came all over her face. I leaned up, dragged her down to the bed and torn at her silk pant as I licked her right down to the middle.


    ¡°Sky!¡± She gasped out in pleasure.


    I smirked. ¡°You dirty witch¡­ your pink pussy is dripping¡­¡± I hummed.


    Mia arched her back when I rubbed her clit with a finger before licking her core again. ¡°Ground your pussy on my tongue until you cum in my mouth.¡± And she immediately did as I said.


    Mia started bobbing her middle at my tongue as I sucked and spit on her clit. She rocked my tongue with pleasure.


    ¡°Sky!¡± Mia moaned when I dropped two fingers on her clit and continued tongue fucking her.


    Every of her nerves must be burning and vibrating with pleasure and it was almost too much to handle. She was definitely seeing stars from just my tongue. ¡°Sky! I am close!¡± She screamed


    Mia trembled violently as she cum at my face and we bothughed. I licked her up andp at her fold for thest of her cum. She was still trembling as I pressed kisses to the sensitive spot at her neck.


    I leaned up and stern intently into her eyes as I slowly slid my cock into her core. I maintained that eye contact, tears welled up in her eyes as I ripped away her virginity and ground her slowly.
