I woke up lying on a hard floor. I heard water dripping from somewhere, the air smelled damp, and my head throbbed badly. I tried to get up, but the sharp pain made my head swim and I fell back on the floor. Surprisingly, I wasn't tied up. I looked around but couldn't see much of anything, so I mustered up the courage to slowly stand up. Chains jingled in my feet as I moved them. My short-lived happiness of being untied died immediately, I was chained. My eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and I concluded I was in a cave.
'Lucian' I called into the mental link.No response.I was either too far away from him or he had closed the mental link, which was impossible. It meant I was too far away from him. I pulled at the chains, it didn't budge as expected. I wrapped my arms around myself. It was a trap. It was all a trap. Regina didn't die that day. Now, she had me and Clara. I heard approaching footsteps, and instinctively knew who they belonged to."Savannah," I saidAlice's POV - "That's ridiculous!" I snapped at him. These two were being conned by Regina, they were blinded by their ambitions to see through it."How can you even trust this woman? She might be taking you both for a ride!""It is possible, isn't it?" He asked gruffly to Regina.She trembled a little, "of course! You saw my poison worked isn't it?""It better do. I am paying a lot for this bitch!"While they argued, I had figured out their whole plan. Regina wanted my blood for whatever spells she had been making, Savannah wanted to get rid of me to get my mate, and this Alpha wolf wanted me for his mate because of my healing power.They got together and planned the trap, Regina started by luring rogue wolves from different packs to do her bidding. Then got interested in Alphas who wanted to steal me as their mate as her financiers. After losing Adam, this was her second financier."Hey if you are done argui
Gregory and some of his wolves were moving around arranging stones and boxes while Regina was boiling something nasty in a cauldron, like a typical witch. Fire torches had been lit around, giving an orange glow to everything. Providing me with a good view of the number of wolves stationed around the cave. There were 10 Betas and warriors around us. I was sure there would be more in the forest. I couldn't fight through so many wolves. I would have to make a run somehow."Are you going to sacrifice me or something?" I asked casually."You are too expensive to be sacrificed, sweetheart," Gregory smirked."She would not be harmed, right? She can still give me pups, isn't it?" He asked Regina.I wanted to gag and rip his throat off."No, I just need her blood for now," Regina said.I wrinkled my nose, these people were crazy."Give me the girl," Savannah asked me.I clutched Clara tighter."No, I don't trust you," I said"You don't have any option Alice, if
10 years ago -Lucian - Being one of the few werewolves in a human high school had its advantages. I was stronger, with much better reflexes and keener senses than humans. I could have broken all sports records, but I refrained from using my full potential because it would have been unfair, secondly, I would have drawn unwanted attention, but that didn't stop me from being the best in the football team. Furthermore, I loved it.It was the day before my 18th birthday. I was excited as well as nervous. For a werewolf, his or her 18th year is critical. After turning 18 our wolf is ready for its mate, and it starts searching. I would be able to find my soul mate from tomorrow onwards. She could be anyone. Someone from the pack, or school. I wished it was Nancy, my current girlfriend. She was the hottest girl in the school, and we clicked. If not Nancy, whoever would be my mate, I would love her. Whenever I found her."Hi
Alice -I had reached a clearing near a stream. 'Savannah, come out. I know you are here. The forest is surrounded, you cannot leave.' I said in her mind as I felt her presence.Before I could finish, I was shoved by a red female. Savannah had appeared from the rocks near the stream. I was tossed onto my side before I quickly righted myself and faced the known attacker. Savannah bared her teeth and growled low and deep. I returned the threat and watched as Savannah trembled and backed down a little.I looked behind her to see Lucian along with the rest of the pack. He stayed back and waited to see what would happen.'You must hold a pretty big grudge against me to attack me in front of Lucian.' I said.'I have nothing left to lose.' Savannah replied.'I was happy until you showed up! This is all your fault! W
Six months later --Alice - Sunlight was streaming through the picture window on the east wall, warming the bed. I walked out of the shower and saw Lucian stirring in the bed."Sorry," I said softly. "I didn't mean to wake you."The bedsheet fell away from his body as he leaned to kiss me."What time is it?" He asked."A little past six," I replied, and got out of the bed. I walked towards the window and glanced out in the morning."Why don't you come back to bed?" He asked."No, I was just going to take a shower and head into work," I responded."It's so early," he said through a yawn."I know, but I've got an important meeting today. I'm going to take a shower. Go back to sleep." I said."You sure you can't come back to bed?" He asked again as I applied lipstick and flashed
Alice - "What am I looking at?" He asked, staring at the 2D model of his house. His parent's house."It's your old home, I have remodelled it. See, I have added these extensions here, your mother can have her private balcony. This tiny room can be added to its adjacent one. It would make an excellent nursery..." I rattled on about the changes, and his smile grew."It's lovely, but why do you want to remodel the house?""So that we can move in. It's lovely the way it is, but I thought of suggesting some improvements.""You want to move to my home?" He whispered, and I wasn't confident if he liked my idea."Yes, our current living arrangement is not very family-friendly, and I need a bigger closet," I replied.He swivelled my chair towards him and trapped me with both his hands. "Wait, did you say, family? And nursery?" He gave a mischievous smile.I turned red, of all the things, this is what he had hooked on."I mean eventually we will have a family someday," I fumbled for words. "A
Alice - Being a Luna was never part of my plan but it was my destiny and now I was loving it. I am Alice Anderson a hybrid wolf with a werewolf father and a mother who was a witch. That makes me special. Not always in a good way. After going through several trials and tribulations I was finally at ease with Lucian. I am Luna of the Crimson Shadow pack and Lucian Blake is my mate.Generally, life was good. I loved living in the pack and there weren't any more death threats.“Please put the couch here,” I instructed the betas and omegas who were hauling the furniture into our newly renovated home.I designed the interiors myself. It had been a tedious and tiring process especially when Lucian was barely interested. He had given me the free rein to do whatever I wanted, with the house. It was a good thing, but I was expecting him to be a bit more excited about the whole project. He had been busy, handling the pack and business issues, leaving me to my house reconstruction activity.“Tha
The weather was fine, although the sky was cloudy. The worst of winter had passed, and the wonderful spring was arriving. Birds from the south had returned and sang their beautiful symphony. The wicked snow was gone, replaced by a vast carpet of grass. Flowers of many kinds had blossomed and filled the air with their fragrance. This was the best time of the year to have a housewarming. It was an intimate party with Rick and Lenora's family. We had also invited Emma, Damon, the pack Betas and some close friends. Aunt Flora was away on one of her impromptu trips. We already had a pack run and the barbecue party with the whole pack the previous evening. Kids played in the garden while I relaxed with Emma and other ladies on the patio overlooking the river. I gazed at Emma and other girls fussing over their babies and older kids. Even Katherine had Namara to look after. I knew what I had to do. Have Lucian's babies. I picked up my piña colada and smiled absentmindedly. "Are you even lis
