~Jennifer~
I headed to Cora’s place after successfully stopping Bryson from going hunting. I met her along the hallway. “Hey, Cora,” I said, moving closer.“Hi, Jennifer. Can we talk?” she asked.“Sure, I was heading to your place,” I replied. We headed on to her room.“How did it go with the Alpha, Jennifer?” Cora queried as we reached her room.“Well, I managed to stop him from going hunting.”“It isn’t an attack anymore, Jennifer. The jezebel is not planning to attack the Alpha, she’s planning to poison him,” she announced.“Poison?!” I exclaimed, staring at Cora with a look of shock. “How?”“Tomorrow is the Alpha’s birthday. You know about it?”“Yes, he told me earlier. He is throwing a party too.”“That is it, Jennifer. She wants to eliminate him right in front of everyone. In such a gathering, her rogue family will attack everyone, killing them all and taking over the pack. That’s their~Ian~I went to Muriel’s room. I honestly miss her; her anger, her smile, her stubbornness, just everything. I sat on a chair close to her bed. I held her hand, squeezing them gently. “Muriel?” I called, more like a whisper. I furrowed my eyebrows in surprise when I saw her lips curve into a smile. “Muriel?” I called out curiously. She gradually moved her head, resisting a force or something. I sprang up. Just then, she wheezed and opened her eyes. “Muriel, can you hear me?” I asked. She slowly closed her eyes again, returning to her still position. I hurried out to go tell Lucian. “Lucian?” I called, running into his room. He was seated on the floor, drinking himself stupor. “Hey, Lucian!” I shook him.“What is it, Ian?” he asked, drunk.“It’s Muriel,” I mentioned. He turned abruptly to me. “She was awake.”“What do you mean?” he asked curiously.“She opened her eyes. She is awake now.”“Seriously?” he sprang up. It se
~Jennifer~It’s the show day now. I hurried from Cora’s room, heading back to my room. On my way came Naomi. She wore an evil smirk across her face. She stopped in my part, and I glared at her.“Welcome to my famous show of the year, Omega Luna,” she scoffed.“I don’t have time for you this morning, Naomi. Get off my way,” I said, trying to walk past, but she blocked my way. “Don’t you want to know how my night in the arms of Bryson went, huh?” she spat. “He was so cool and awesome, I felt on top of the world. Ooh! Thanks for giving us the space, Missy.”I chuckled. “You are truly a character, Naomi. Who do you think I am to Bryson? His picked up Luna? Tsk tsk. We are mates, psycho. If you know about werewolves, you will know that when one mate cheats, the other feels the pain. I trust Bryson. He is only with you to comfort your pathetic life and you know what? You will never find someone to love you because you are evil,” I riposted. Sh
~Autumn~I twitched and winced at the sudden pain in my abdomen. I tried to divert my attention back to the book in my hand. I turned to the next chapter and the pain cut through my stomach again. “Ouch!” I cried, clenching my tummy. The book fell off my hands as I found myself shrinking. I tried to relax on the bed, but I began writhing at the sharp pain. “Oh God! What’s wrong with me again?” the pain was similar to the heat stuff. Could I still be feeling the heat by now? Is it normal? I swallowed hard, trying to subdue the pain by clutching my tummy and curling up. I even placed a pillow between my thighs, but nothing changed. Tears broke through my eyes and I grunted. I couldn’t take it anymore and gathered myself off the bed. I stumbled over, dropping to the floor as my legs failed me. I supported my weight by grabbing the edge of the table. I forced myself back up, staggering to the door while holding my stomach. Sweat emanated from all over my pores, drenching my clo
Author’s POVIan wasted no time before packing his bags to return to the Newmoon pack. He didn’t bother to tell Lucian or visit Muriel one more time. He looked back at the house, his eyes depicting sorrow. He looked around the pack house before facing the gate, turning his back on everything that made him a happy man. His stubborn, lovely mate, his adamant cousin sister, and his little fraidy-cat friend, Grace. He let the memories replay in his head as he walked away. From a corner stood Grace, watching Ian leave with sadness drawn on her face. Her hands, her legs, everywhere quivered. The fear of guilt played a trick in her mind. She turned and ran off, running down to Autumn’s room. She swung the door open and saw Autumn on the floor. She had her back leaned against the bed while tears streamed down freely from her eyes. Grace rushed down to her, holding her arm.“Autumn? What happened?” Grace asked. “I saw Ian leaving. Where is he going?”“He
“Russell?” I called once more, disengaging the hug. “What about your family? Won’t you reconsider them?” I asked. His eyes deepened bloodshot.“Never!” he groaned. “I got to go. I will see you soon,” he bade, pulling away from me.“No, wait. I’m sorry, I won’t say it again,” I apologized, holding his hand, thinking I got him mad at me.“It’s not you, Muriel,” he smiled. “Lucian is coming.”“Oh,” I looked at the door. “Okay, take care of yourself,” I said, letting go of his hand. He nodded and disappeared. I quickly went back to the position Lucian left me, wearing the I-am-innocent look. He entered, holding a tray of food. He wore a bright smile as he presented the food to me by placing it on the bed in front of me.“Thank you,” I said to him.“Can I feed you?” he offered. My stomach twisted. I knitted my brows together. “Please,” he added. I nodded. He took the spoon and began feeding me the honey black pepper chicken. “You know
~Muriel~I returned to the room all decked up. I was super excited to be going outside. It seems like ages since I have been sleeping. And it felt like I had just been reborn as a baby who needed to see the first rays of the sun. My embroidered short gown was elegant with flamboyant threads. As I walked toward Lucian, his eyes locked into mine. I wanted to resist the urge but Niamh pined for him. He stood up, his eyes never leaving mine. I clenched the side of my dress, trying to force my head down. He reached out to me, taking my hand in his. He pulled me closer and I fought to catch my breath.“You are beautiful, Muriel,” he complimented. I suddenly felt butterflies filling my stomach. Niamh was prancing in joy. Her mate’s attention means a lot to her. I know she has been hurt for all my actions but what can I do? I still don’t feel for Lucian. Russell has taken a toll on me and I only yearn for him. “I want to apologize, Muriel,” he said more like a whisper. His
~Mateo~I was fully ready to be crowned the king of the demon kingdom now. No more troubles. After my shower earlier, I took a nap and I slept peacefully. Nothing feels like being normal again. I took a quill and was jotting my recent experience when the door slowly opened. Advisor Fort appeared through the door. I smiled boldly at him.“Hello, advisor Fort!” I greeted. He moved closer.“Hello, Mateo,” he responded and sat opposite me.“It has been a while, advisor,” I said, putting the quill down.“Exactly, Mateo. We all have been worried about you. What truly happened to you? Why did you confine yourself in your room?” he queried.“It’s nothing serious,” I smiled it off. “I just needed time to myself, that’s all.”“Good to know. Are you ready for your coronation tomorrow?” he asked.“More than ready, advisor. If there’s anything I will adore in this world, that’s to assume the throne of our great kingdom. And
In the morning, I woke up as early as possible and began packing my bags ready for the journey to Newmoon pack. I dressed up and fixed my dagger into my armored jacket. I opened the door and was faced with Father and Grace, who hid behind Father’s back.“Where are you going, dear?” Father asked.“What is this stupid girl doing here?” I pointed angrily at Grace. She clutched Father’s robe.“You need to calm down, Autumn. She is still your sister, you know? She was indeed stupid but if you check her intentions, you will know she was just trying to help your relationship with Ian. It’s just her foolishness that allowed her to be used by Ken. Don’t be mad at her, please,” Father stated.“I’m sorry, Autumn. Forgive me,” Grace interjected.“You be quiet!” I groaned. “You don’t know the atom of what you have done. You made me reject Ian. I allowed him to go without trying to stop him. You don’t know what I went through in his absence. Just fast and pray to the Moon Goddess that Ian forgives
