Eleanor woke up feeling feverish and weak, as if she had lifted heavy weights the previous day. She moaned and then bit her lips hard as she rolled on the bed while shutting out the sharp pain she felt all over her body.Slowly, she squinted her eyes open, the left one first and then the right one. She could see a figure but it was blurry. She just shook it away concluding that she was only dreaming. The beautifully painted ceiling of the room, although hazy in her sleepy state couldn’t dim its beauty and brightness and struck her sleepy eyes. Eleanor felt like she was in a dreamland. A wonderful one at that. One she wasn’t sure she wanted to wake up from.“Oh heavens, my head is banging…” she groaned and stretched, stifling in the yawn that tried to escape her lips.“Why am I seeing this face…am I still dreaming…oh my head…” she stretched a bit more. But then the figure kept starring right back at her, without moving an inch.“Huh…” her eyes flew open. She rubbed her eyes with her ha
“Let my friend go!” Elisa gritted at Arthur. She had followed Jeremy after they kidnapped Eleanor to the pack. “It gives me no pleasure keeping your friend with me. I just need to be sure of a few things.” Arthur said as he flipped through the pages of a book he was reading. “Have you no idea? She is human! What could you possibly do with a human? Didn’t you always hate her likes? Why then do you have her in your house?” Elisa retorted. “That is why I must hope to be wrong!” Arthur flared up. His eyes spat dangerous sparks. He flung the book away with so much annoyance and got to his feet. “Do you think I am pleased to have such blood in my house? huh… I really do hope the moon goddess get back to their senses as soon as possible.” “She is your mate?” Elisa asked, shocked. Arthur didn’t say a word. That automatically answered her question. She blinked, cold chill washed down her skin. “No…that can’t be…she is really human…” her voice trailed off in disbelief. “Tell me all you kn

ARTHUR POV’S“Send her back to her people. Make sure to wipe her memory clean of everything she must have seen here. I want her gone before tomorrow.” I said to Jeremy as soon as we got back to the pack. Jeremy stared at me with widened eyes and dropped jaw. “Are you sure you really want her gone?”“You obey my orders Jeremy and don’t question me.”“Of course sir.”Dennis followed me. “Think carefully about this, Arthur.” He said matching my pace.“You have a few days until you are thirty-five dude! I hope you are well aware of that!”I said no word to him as I walked into my room and shut the door. I just wanted to be left alone. I grabbed my towel and headed into the wash room. Coming in contact with some of the humans made me feel dirty. Yes, I hated humans and even though I knew I was doing a stupid thing getting rid of my mate whom turned out to be human, I couldn’t feel a bit bad about it.Getting into the washroom, I climbed into the bath tub, switched on the water and let it c
ARTHUR’S POV“What was that? I mean who is she?” Samantha asked as she watched Jeremy carried the human girl away.I stared at her wondering if now was the right time to tell her everything.“Wait...” she sniffed the air and then her eyes rested on me, peering. “The girl being carried out stinks of human blood…”I shrugged. How had I had forgotten the power Samantha possesses as a werewolf. One of the strongest she wolves in my pack. Her sense of smell was great and her strength beyond words. Reason why I loved her.“Arthur…I’m right huh…she is human, what is a human doing here, right under your nose?” she asked, bewildered.“It just happened. Jeremy will take her back home. Come on let’s head back in.” I rounded her to start walking back to my room.“She is your mate.” She dropped as I walked past her.The words boomed behind me and caused me to halt in my tracks. I couldn’t hear any other sound as Samantha’s words reverberated in my head.She walked to where I stood.“Arthur, she is
“Get your things ready, you are going back to the states.”“Uh? Back to the states? But dad I just got back home and I already finished my program at school…” Eleanor protested.“There is no change of plans. The decision has been made.” Uncle Bob said, and chewed slowly without sparing her a glance.“Uncle Bob…I missed home…Can’t I just stay a bit more?” she turned towards Howard and mouthed to him, “Plead with me…”Howard made a grumbling face but soon joined her to plead. “Dad, uncle Bob, please let her stay for a bit more…”“See? Howard wants me to stay too…”Dad finished eating, dropped his spoon and stood up without saying a word. Soon uncle Bob stood too and left the dining table leaving Eleanor and Howard gaping after them.“Their minds are made up, sorry dude. Try again later…” Howard also stood and left.Eleanor let out a sigh as she let herself collapse weakly to her seat. She wondered if it wasn’t the best thing for her to go back to the states as her dad and uncle Bob sugg
MAXWELL MURRAYA young man is seen sitting before a swimming pool. A pipe was hung in his lips which he held at intervals and dragged smoke out. He is starring into the water and across it. But in reality he was staring into blankness. His facial features are hardened and his thoughts deep.A servant came to inform him his parents has demanded to see him. He waved the servant off, sat still for a little while before he finally stood, thrashed the pipe, and started heading back in after grabbing a towel and hung across his shoulder. He marched straight to his room and changed into a more befitting wear after which he headed down to meet his parents.He walked into the house to see his parents already seated. A closer look told him it wasn’t just his parents sitting. Mr and Ms Jo, a family friend that had been away was seated as well.“Hello Maxwell.”“Hello Mr and Ms Jo,” he dipped his head slightly as he greeted them.“You have grown so much. How have things been with you?” Ms Jo ask
SAMANTHA’S POVI hadn’t taken my mom’s words that seriously until she came dragging me to the dining for dinner in the evening, and seated in the dinner as I got in was Maxwell Murray!All through dinner, I totally kept to myself, made sure not to steal even as much as a glimpse at him and picked on my food all through. I hadn’t seen his face and couldn’t tell if my attitude had ruined his mood but judging from what the corners of my eyes caught, he ate pretty well.After diner, dad suggested I showed him around the house and like I expected mom was in support. I had actually expected that scene but was never ready for it until the next moment and I was left alone with Maxwell Murray.We both was mute for what seemed like seconds. Then he cleared his throat to get my attention. By then, I had slowly pushed my plate of untouched food aside and gazed at everything else but at him. He was sitting somewhat across me; two seats away from directly before me.“Hi Sam, erm, been quite a while
