Over the past month the alpha has been treating Shannon extra nice, Nina asked her to join their pack and she told her that she will think about it, but her mate’s behavior has made her skeptical about joining the pack. Even Lucy her wolf does not want her to, it was strange because the alpha did not trust her much and he made that clear but after the outing, he started acting differently.
Also, the alpha spoke to his friend in the council, and he told him that if she remained in his pack. Everything of his will goes well, his businesses, and every new venture he wanted to take but if he made her join his pack and swear loyalty to him. The advantages will be more both for him and Africa as a whole. That is why the alpha has been doing his best to make her stay pleasant and so soften her up so that she can finally agree.
Back in the council meeting, the elders were discussing the annual ball, the ball was two months away and they needed to decide on the venue and
After the meeting, the Troll elder sent a messenger to Black Moon Pack to inform Austin of their findings, but the African elder was a step ahead. The messenger was found by his people and killed. The same thing happened to the messengers the witch and the vampire elders sent. The African elder was preventing the messages from getting to their people and them going into hiding before the Goddess as they call her can find and punish them.The elders were under the impression that their people got the message and made the necessary arrangements in case things did not go well. Today was the day the African elder has arranged for the witch and the vampire elders to meet with Shannon at his friend the alpha’s pack. They arrived in Africa the day before and the ball was to happen the following week.Shannon was just told that there were some elders coming to the pack for a visit before the annual ball. She was told that she had to attend the meeting with the alpha, bet
Kieran has a small smile on his face, he was happy to have heard her voice, but he missed her presence next to him. The others, however had shocked expressions on their faces. “Does she know?” asked elder Israel, the alpha shook his head. “No, I did not tell her anything.” He answered. “What are you talking about?” asked Nina but no one paid attention to her.“It doesn’t matter is she knows or not, what she said is the truth and we all know it. the eclipse is next week, and her powers are becoming more prominent. She can feel then, the authority in her voice and how she was not even affected by us should tell us something.” Kieran said, he kept looking in the direction she disappeared to wanting to go after her and it took everything in him not to get up from that chair and go after her.“What is going on?” asked Nina frustrated that no one was telling her anything. “Would you please shut up! You a
When the alpha and beta came back from walking out the elders. The beta went to check on pack business while the alpha went inside the conference room upon seeing his mate still sitting there looking deep in thoughts. He pulled a chair and sat next to her. “Nina.” He called for her and she turned her head slowly to look at him then back out the window where she was looking.“I could not tell you Nina, it was not my place to do so.” He told her but she ignored him like he was not talking to her. “I know you are angry, but I could not say anything, the elder forbade me from saying anything.” She looked at him with anger in her eyes. “I am not angry, but I am mad as hell. You used me to get her to join this pack as soon as you found out who she was right? The phone call that day when you came back from getting your wallet, the sudden change in attitude towards her. you used me!” she stood up and moved away from him.Pain fla
The day of the ball came it was held at the conventions centre in Cape Town. Alphas, their betas, and gammas with their mates. Flew in from different countries to be present on the day. Kieran was the first of the elders to arrive at the venue, but he stayed in the car waiting for his mate to arrive so that he can ask her to be his date for the night and for them to get a chance to talk.Austin also arrived with his beta Eliot and their temporary alpha Sandy. Everyone was well dressed and looking good this night. Nina’s mate left the packhouse angry after finding out that she is not going with him but Shannon, he had no choice to but leave with his beta and gamma. He was grumpy all the way to the convention centre.“I am going to wait for the introductions to be done then I will leave,” Austin told Sandy and Eliot. “Can’t you stay? I feel like you should stay.” Sandy told him; she did not know the reason, but something told her that
The ball started but the people were walking on eggshells, they kept their small groups alert as if something were going to happen. Others stood with the alphas of the pack they were allied to but no one else. Kieran was enjoying having his mate so close to him and the fact that everyone played far from them. When Shannon saw how tense it was, she decided to say something.She moved away from Kieran, but he followed not wanting to part from her, they both climbed the stage, and she took the microphone then brought it close to her lips. “Look at how the Bloodsucker is looking at our Luna, it’s like he is looking at his next meal!” Eliot complained, Austin was looking at the same thing and he did not like it. But he could not say anything, she was free and could do anything she wanted.“Good evening.” Her soft angelic voice fell, and everyone kept quiet looking at her. “I can’t feel the tension in the air, and I know that it is b
“Shan, my heart, please don’t reject me. Please, sweetheart, give me a chance, am sorry for everything I have done my love please forgive me.” He broke down and cried. His hands-on his knees as he knelt and his head hanging low with his shoulders moving up and down as he cried. ‘Shan, are you really going to reject mate? I know I don’t feel the bond between us because Blake is not with him, but he is sorry.’ Said Lucy sounding sad for him.‘His parents did not reject me when I needed them most, so why would I reject him for this, it’s done, and he acknowledges his mistakes.’ She told her then sighed. “Austin.” She called out to him and he shook his head. “Austin looks at me.” She demanded and he lifted his head and their eyes locked. His eyes were red, and his cheeks were stained with tears.“I know that I don’t deserve your forgiveness or a second chance, but I am selfish, I want
The two were left looking in the direction Kieran disappeared to, Austin sighed then looked at Shannon who still had her eyes fixed at the direction the vampire elder disappeared to. “Is he going to be a problem?” asked Austin, she slowly turned to look at him. “The question should be, are you both going to be a problem?” she asked with her eyebrow raised looking at Austin.“He calls me a dog Shan.” Complained Austin making Shannon chuckle. “The same way you call him a blood-sucking vampire.” She told her and he looked at her in disbelief. “Are you taking his side?” he asked but she shook her head. “I am not taking any sides but you both call each other names.” Austin sighed. “Are you leaving with him now?” he did not want to be away from her again.Only the Goddess knows when he was going to see her again if she left. “I am leaving am tired.” His heart sank when she said th
The alpha meeting was in full swing the following morning, Austin was there participating like it was the first time being there, he mind liked his sister and beta when they got to the meeting and told them that Blake was back. they were both happy for him and Sandy only went there for formality but as soon as they get back to Black Moon she will step down and give the position back to her brother.While the meeting in process discussing treaties and alliances Tia the witch elder got a call, she declined the call and focused on the meeting. But the person would not stop calling that she excused herself and went out of the meeting room then answered the call as soon as the door closed behind her. “What is the matter?” she asked annoyed that the person could not tell that she was busy when she did not pick up the first two times he called.“My apologies elder Tia but we have a problem.” Tia did not like the sound of his voice when he said that, th
