AALIYAH Immediately after the revelation from Beta Nicholas, I walked out of their midst not providing any response because, to be honest, I should be the one demanding an explanation and an apology and not the other way around.The triple alphas, especially Hunter has been trying to make it hurt less, they surprised me with a truckload of nice meals and offered me the nicest room as damage control, but I wasn't ready to let go. It hurts knowing the offender and still falling madly in love with them regardless. I promised my papa their heads, and Beta Nicholas was right, I ended up giving them heads. The feeling of guilt haunts me every damn minute.It's been almost four minutes since I am banging on the door of Lady Sasha, wanting to be done and over with everything and everyone. I assured them I would remember them fondly and here I am, making do my promise.Linda had filled me in on every wrong Lady Sasha did to Nikki on my behalf, she has for sure bitten more than she can chew.
HECTOR My mood is sober as I continually drown myself in the strongest of booze. Despite the in-depth revealing by Beta Nicholas, I’m still not content. I need answers to calm the numerous turbulence in my mind. When our parents passed away, he stood in as our guardian. If he wanted to be a leader, he could have, we respected him so much that every one of his decisions was not opposed even when it didn't settle well with us.He could have watched us lead and be a strong guide. I smash the bottle of alcohol on the floor, frustrated that it can't take away my reality or lessen the heavy weight on my shoulders. Its powerful smell diffuses in the air.The door opens without a knock and Hudson strolls in, his mood is more gloomy than I've seen for ages."Hudson, you must be courteous at all times. You can't just barge in here like you own the place.” I scold him."Brother, I just want to have a word.”“It changes nothing.” I exhale. "You can sit down there.” I point to the edge of the b
HECTOR The chaos in the pack is ear deafening when I learned of the somewhat impossible news. It can't be possible except for someone to let him out and it can't be Lady Sasha, she was jailed long hours before the incident.It's insinuating that Beta Arlo has men everywhere, down to the guards. The whole pack will be cleansed of thorns after he's caught and beheaded."He mustn't have gone far, soldiers of Orlando!” I begin to prep them, prepping them for the course at hand. They deserve a little heads-up concerning the Beta they adore so much if I should demand their full compliance.“Beta Arlo is a traitor to this pack, for now, we will hunt him down and all of his soldiers. And let him know we're no weaklings.”They chant in unison, and their swords in the air, concurring with my statement. "Keep moving!" I order as they run out of the open gate in vigour.“Let's go, brother.” Hudson pats my back.I’m about to move when I catch a glimpse of Hunter and I pause automatically on my t
HECTOR I had summoned every member of the pack to gather in the open field, the initial spot for Beta Arlo’s ceremony, not exempting anyone. The place is packed, with a sea of faces, body sizes, and ages. They are eager to know the final say of the council elders, Beta Arlo, and the three alphas.Those that are not guards or maids or alpha females are kept in the dark as to the recent happenings. Is he proceeding with the ceremony against the alphas’ will? Are the Alphas in support? Or is there going to be an outburst of an inevitable fight? The hot scorching sun sits in the centre of the sky, thanks to the canopy of trees, they are spared from its merciless rays.Also in attendance are the alpha females, for the first time in two years, they are allowed to breathe in fresher air, see the sun and blend with others, they seemed blissful."I will go and sensitize them, you need to breathe in and out.”"Hunter, this is beyond that, they love Beta Arlo and would rain abuses on us.”"Be
NIKKI Days after my release, I stayed indoors to recuperate. Linda did everything she could for me, even those outside her scope of duties, she rendered so long as I was okay like she owed me an eternal debt Linda pleaded with me constantly that I don't miss the ceremony of the Alpha, I had argued that the affairs of this pack has nothing to do with destitute as myself, but she rebuked me and cautioned me otherwise. The rude secrets the wind blew along recently is a lot for me, way too much that I can fathom, and the ceremony? So much was said and identities were revealed, I was sick to the stomach.I stuff a polythene bag with my belongings, even though I came here with nothing. Though I’m happy for the gift of freedom and acceptance, it's time I went to my people, sky knows I weep silently every day knowing I may not see them again.“Hello, dear.” A familiar voice calls.I jolt, surprise that I have a visitor. Apparently, she has been here for like two minutes but I am too preocc
NIKKI Alpha Hunter has arranged for a carriage and a rider to convey Aaliyah, himself, and me to Wild Crest Pack. Beta Nicholas is well fed, being that it is his last supper and he would be strapped to the back of the carriage as we ride along.Trusting Aaliyah and her nasty cravings, she has packed a bag full of snacks, food, and drinks to sustain her for the journey back home. Against Aaliyah’s will, Alpha Hunter accompanied us.For me, it's a whole new feeling, as soon as we were relieved of the badge, my wolf roared within like it would burst out at the taste of freedom, long-lasting freedom. But it was too weak.The cool sensation of the wind makes fur creep on my skin, I am gradually shifting, and as enticing as it is, I fight it, knowing I will be left vulnerable as Aaliyah was.“Have some snacks.” Aaliyah offers me, having opened the backpack of food. "You need the energy.”"Not like she's going to till the soil.”"Hunter, don't be mean. She has to enjoy every bit of this jo
NIKKI I open my eyes, feeling exhausted, and somehow I'm lying on a huge and soft bed. The room is faintly bright and strange.His sculpted physique stands by the window, bare-chested. His hard muscles are alluring. When he turns to face me, I quickly shut my eyes as though I’m still asleep."You're awake.” His rich voice startles me.I tighten my lids, hoping it is a wild guess.“Nikki, you look beautiful when you sleep, I would remain here as long as they remain shut.”I sigh, aware he's caught me red-handed. My frail form spring up, sitting up in bed facing his hard mass, soft linen settling on my lap."You're half-naked,” I whisper, trying not to chew my lower lips in front of him.“And we're even.” He grins.I look down, to see a pair of big, firm, and luscious boobs bare and pink nipples that are peering at his hard muscles. Shit! I lift the bed sheet over my bosom, embarrassment washing away my pride. "You shifted before us all and collapsed. I brought you in here, there's n
NIKKI Last night, Aaliyah nor Alpha Hunter bothered to come see me, totally leaving me to the mercy of Chris.I can't make out the silly things they will be thinking of me, aware that my wolf shamelessly proclaimed Chris as its mate in public and since they returned, I've been locked in here with maids serving us food and water.We spent the whole of the night fucking on and on and on, and I gladly switched positions countless times.His eyes are now on me, exhausted from the marathon sex, I fold in his arms, cuddled up and we both lay fully naked, in the warmth of our wrapped bodies.“What next?” his voice is still rich in the dawn.“We travel back home after the ceremony.” Aaliyah and Chris thought it wise to prolong the ceremony till this morning, having that we arrived later than envisaged. He sighs. "You could stay longer, I’m capable of conveying my Luna to her pack. I will send for the carriage if you want it now and...”“Chris?” I chuckle. "We’ve been woven together like a
