Everyone was quick to bow but not the ministers. They all hissed and walked away. Granny Reeker could only watch. She knew talking or forcing them would end up in a rather complex situation for the people. ‘’Is this how it's going to be?’’ Enzo asked, frustrated by the attitude. ‘’It will get better, '' Granny Reeker replied. They were subjects and at some point had to give in. She was not worried about the ministers but more about Emandra. Something was not right with emandra, she was suddenly fierce and petty. ‘’We should get inside, the witch's council is about to start and you are expected to attend’’ emandra walked out of the arena with Chase and the others. ‘’Why aren't you saying anything?’’ Enzo whispers to the hearing of Shane who seems to be avoiding Emandra. ‘’What would you have me say? Granny Reeker is here and she will take care of everything. And aren't you supposed to be looking for someone?’’ Enzo stared at the child before him, not sure of what to do. Shane had
Stephanie stood high and mighty before everyone. She was certain the support she needed was what she would get. ‘’It is in your place to decide who gets to be queen or not. You may be a daughter but you're not born of a lycan blood and only one of them can be queen. Stephanie, you should know all this since you have been amongst us for a very long time”’ Granny Reeker speaks out, standing from her seat and walking down towards Stephanie and Emandra who looked distrustful. ‘’It is your place to take the seat of your father while we search for him. A lycan can only be crowned alongside his or her mate and that can only be you and Alpha Chase ’’ Emandra could no longer hold herself. She collapses into the arms of Chase as she sobs even harder. She had no idea Daliah was her mother and she had been the reason she was no more. Í wish I could turn the hands of time Chase, I want to hold her. You know I pushed her away from me when she tried to help.’’ Emandra’s words were breaking even
Both Emandra and Chase did not see the big deal in naming the Shadows but it was clear everyone thought otherwise of it. ‘’What rule are you talking about?’’ Emandra asked, pulling away from Chase but staying close enough for him to have his hands around her hip. ‘’We shouldn't be talking about this now, why don't you two get some rest while the council deliberates on when you take over, and after that, we can trash out this issue’’ Granny announced but no one moved an inch. ‘’Granny, I need to know. They are my mate and part of me, we won't be leaving here if everything is not cleared out’’ Emandra was truthful to her words. She stood her ground and everyone was grateful for that for they all wanted nothing but for Emandra to be tossed out alongside her mate. ‘’The throne has been empty for too long. We only have an heir and not two, hence Princess Emandra will be taking the place of her mother while her half-sister who has been trained and groomed to take the place of her mother
While Emandra was ordered by the doctor to get more rest, Granny Reeker and the others held a private meeting to discuss the pressing issue and it was finalized on the conclusion, Emandra would be crowned acting queen while her mate would only take the place of the king if the king happens to be death. The ministers did not budge on their decision, they were more than willing to compromise on the case of emandra but they were not on the case of Alpha Chase. The thought of having a werewolf rule them was a bitter pill they were not willing to swallow. Shane has been hanging around Granny Reeker all day, too afraid to move closer to Enzo. There was just something about the man that made his heart skip a beat and rise rapidly at his words and closeness. He could not seem to take his eyes or hands away from him, the closer he was to him the more he wanted to hold him. Have his hands in his hair and play with his cheeks. Such feelings were not easy to come by and Shane was away from tha
‘’Enzo and I will have to return to the pack. A rebellion is quickly rising and I have to be there”’ Chase tells emandra taking her hands into his. He knew for a fact she needed him but the people needed him as well. As alpha, it is his responsibility to take care of them and make sure they are safe. ‘’You can't leave me here all by myself’’ emandra cries into his arms. Too much was happening and she could not get her hands around it. While everyone regarded her as a nobody and unfit queen, she only had her mate to rely on. ‘’You can't leave her alone’’ Shane spoke from behind. Emandra turned to the little brother she missed so much. She had just had so much going on in her life recently that she barely spent time with him. ‘’Come here’’ emandra asked of Shane who obediently walked over to his sister. ‘’What happened Shane, why did you turn up here,’’ Emandra asked worriedly. It was not the time but these questions have long been overdue. ‘’Why aren't you home with Mother and t
The moon was still to give way to the sun when Sarah and the others were woken up by the screaming noise coming from within the pack house yet again. It has been going on for a while and no one dares say a word about it. While they usually start working by 5 am, recently they have only been called upon. Sarah says on their bed wondering what was happening, ever since the mysterious noise from the pack house, she hasn't gotten the time or called upon to visit Paris. Everyone knew the alpha did not want people around her hence he kept everyone away. ‘’What's going on Mara? Why do they scream every morning and we clean blood when we go to the pack house?’’ Sarah could not hide her curiosity anymore. She wanted to know if the new changes happening in the pack house were too quick. No time to adjust and another comes yet again. ‘’Sarah, have you heard of the saying, curiosity kills the cat?’’ Mara asked, rather annoyed. She was not best of friends with Sarah and she was not going to
Sarah’s shocked expression was all it took for Paris to know they were in for a long talk. ‘’What exactly do you mean by the alpha attacked you, Luna?’’ Sarah asked turning to face Paris. Paris looked at the worried expression on her face and could only sigh. ‘’Sarah, he doesnt love me and no one else. It's not about Luna or me not being a blessed child anymore. The alpha we all knew is way different from the one we know now” Paris did not know of any better words to express what she felt or saw. “‘’I dont get you luna, why is the alpha suddenly different?’’ Sarah asked. The words of Paris were making no sense to her. She did not see why there was something wrong with the alpha. ‘’I know he has fallen out of love with you but still wants you close as his concubine. But all this does not add up” Paris did not know how to say it. It was still a misery to her. Everything so fast for her to get a grasp of it, she did not see reasons why he wanted her death.“He attacked me last night,
Sarah could only cry on behalf of Paris. How could someone put up with so much for the sake of another? While both of them stayed all day chatting and passing out time, Mara and the others had long left the pack house. On orders of the alpha, Mara was not allowed to go up to the second floor where Sarah and Paris were. ‘’It is late, I should get going now,” Sarah tells Paris, gathering her things. Paris felt sad seeing her leave but there was just so little she could do. She had known from the very start, Sarah had to leave at some point. She dreaded the thought of her staying alone all by herself but there was nothing she could do. Sarah was only a servant and as such at some point, she had to retire to her quarters for proper rest… ‘’Will you be okay?’’ Sarah asked as she reached for the doorknob. Paris could only nod in approval. How could she tell Sarah she was not okay, she did not feel safe and her baby was restless. Sarah walked out of the main gate when a guard rushed to c
