CHAPTER 5
nadir
"Let go of me" I mutter in between words almost choking as I'm unable to breathe,
"Fine I would only if you give in first, surrender" he says causing me to choke harder as he tightened his grip around my neck,
"I su…" I look to my father cutting my words short, I can't disappoint him, he has done way too much for me besides I have been working my ass off each night for the past four months giving up on everything would not help me in any way,
I push him off a little, distracting him as I kick him in the groin with my left leg causing him to let go of his grip on me.
Immediately I pick up the dagger slitting his wrists and yelps in pain leaving me totally contented and fulfilled,
A scornful look appears on Brian's face which makes me smile at him, nu father looks just as proud of me as he ever had,
"Now it's all complete, agnes has proven herself to be strong enough to take my place as alpha,
I call on Celeste our moon goddess to bear me witness as I pass down my position to her just like my father had done to me,
You shall swear an oath to protect the pack at all cost, come forward nadir" my father calls for me, I process in my taking slow graceful strides towards him tuesday had finally come after years of waiting And nights of practicing I can finally be free of it, of all of it and take rightful place in the pack.
He taps me on my shoulder as I walk towards him with a smile on his face he says,
"You always make me proud agnes and today is not different I am always thankful for you being my daughter, now it's time for you to pledge your allegiance to the moon goddess and swear an oath"
I look around me shyly I been practicing this speech for years however today it seems stuck in my throat,
"I swear an oath to you today Celeste to always withhold you I'm high regards and become one with you as I will protect the pack at all cost even when it costs me my life, may you bear me witness today as I take place following in the footsteps of my ancestors,
Strike me down if you find me at fault in anything I do as I place today as alpha to the rasmus pack" ending my words I kneel to the floor my father takes up some blood of a lamb and ours it over me causing it to drop down into my body as I smell of lamb blood,
My mother must be thanking her down ancestors for me not wearing the dress she had given me as it would be ruined If I had wore it,
Everyone around me ululates as I had finally finished my swearing and coronation, a smile in each face all looking happy well I'd course from Brian with his and scornful look he tries clapping but his hands stops die this side on every attempt,he will surely be a nut job and a handful to deal with when I'm all done ,
"Well-done my child henceforth you shall no longer be addressed as agnes but as the alpha to the pack"
My father says whether a smile on ashes face looking the proudest of everyone, I look towards the crowd with a smile bowing slightly this ai my time to make a speech but I wave instead nervous to speak I light end up speaking gibberish and that surely a no go area,
Everyone begins to stand from their seats each tending back to their activities as Austin stands from his position which he had long been,
He walks towards me Bowing slightly,
"Alpha nadir" I at him waving him off sure to place him in my black list, he seemed determined to kill me off earlier which makes me suspect he just have something together with Brian maybe some sort of alliance if their own but thankfully I was smart enough to wave it off as it was really a close call I would have died in the spit if I had not been quick enough to kick him in his groin,
"Can I speak to you alpha nadir?" My mother says mimicking Austin as we both let out a loud laugh, I nod granting her permission as she pulls me by my arm,
"That's no way for an alpha to act" my father says in a Stern voice he has always been a man of discipline,
"Not yet father let me have the whole day to myself,
I hurry away from him pulling mom by the hand before father would get a chance to retort,
"Slow down young lady" I stop at once letting go of hand as she struggles to breathe I must have ran too fast for her,
"I'm sorry mom I didn't look …"
"It was fun, don't apologize and congratulations in your coronation"
"Yeah yeah like you mean it"
"Of course I do I should be happy for you"
"Are you? Really? You kept ranting in and in about me finding my mate and getting married but I do not want to live like that mother my ambitions and dreams are say more than family"
"You re a lady do you know the chances of you retaining your position as alpha is really slim? The only reason I'm a little confident is because you have jade"
The image of me kissing jade passionately forms in my head as I nod it off, he had a disgusting on his face so why should I remember such a kiss?,
" Mum jade has his duties cut out for him and so do I, I should see no reason for mw go rely on him besides I win kun place as alpha fair and square why should I be bothered by some foggy old council leader"
"It seems you are all grown up and know the dynamics. Do you know how terrified I was when he called for a change? My boo …"she stops speaking coaching her chest really hard as well as her side panting heavily,
"Mum, mum what's wrong" I ask her nervously as I place my hand around her aides but no injury had occurred there,
"Your father, he is, danger, your father is in danger nadir"
She finally says, I pull her by the arm running towards the grounds we had gun but yes nowhere to be found,
Mum moves slowly towards a cornered exist she just feel him through the mate bond as I walk behind her carefully hoping it's not what I think,
My excitement fades away alongside my happiness as I see my father covered in blood laying helplessly on the floor"
"Father" I call out but he seems to be far gone, I rush towards him placing his head on my laps,
"Run , run" he says as he closes his eyes shut breathing his last,
My mother lets out a loud howl as she can feel the mate bond break, soon enough we are surrounded by the few people left in the training grounds,
Tears runs down my eyes as dad's body turn cold,
"You should not cry agni you are alpha now and alpha's aren't permitted to cry you just take place immediately one slight break and know they are after you"
I wipe off my tears immediately knowing what gowns by they, i sob the pain not ceasing by a minute,
My mother wails the more saying things and hitting in dad's body but all isn't audible to me as all I can see and hear us my dad's body and nothing more,
A sweet aroma finds its way into my nostrils luring me towards the direction of the woods,
I stand up like It had for me like a siren as I tilt my head to the direction of the scent,
I walk past the guards who gives way for immediately a si can feel everyone's hot gazes behind me,
I look around to see everyone looking at me with eyes full of worry thinking im off to cry or commit suicide but as much as I h love to I just can't betray my dad,
The scent fills my nostrils the more as I move deeper into the woods, I feel confused as I do not understand all that is happening to me, the pain I feel for my father's death leaves me all of a sudden,
I stop on sight of a man in every way handsome and by every means fit, his green eyes calls out to me as he becomes appealing to my sight,
"MATE" he calls out to me.
Chapter 6Everyone stares at nadir unsure of how she got her hands on the fabric dangling midway in the air, slow murmurs erupts among the council who seems to be shock at the turn of event, xylan seems to be more suprised as she never mentioned anything about a fabric to him,Beta Jackson stretched forth his hands to receive the fabric from nadir who seems to be standing aloof proud of herself for catching them off guard, "This should be enough for you track whose over is responsible for my father's death, I guess I'm done hereand I'd need reports soon and by soon I mean in earnest"They all rise as she walks out of the hall with her so called mate by her side, On getting to the room she heaves a sigh of relief, crashing onto the bed, she walks towards her bed accompanied by xyla who stares at her as if trying to access something,"You didn't tell me anything about a fabric"She halts in her actions looking him in the eye she can tell he must be pissed but i never thought of bringi
Storming away from the balcony into her chambers nadir seats in her arm chair fuming with anger, she almost blew it off out there succumbing to her anger but caged it all in and luckily Jason left just before all hell was let loose, "What do they take me for? A puppet alpha?"Nadir had never liked the idea of having a council she always though it to be a dumb thing, she felt a council was nothing but just a waste of time why would she ask couple of dumb old people for permission before making decisions?,She makes up her mind immediately that she will not condone such an attitude from them. She has been Luna for what a week and they've started taking steps,To hell with them all, she'll just have to show them what she's capable of and wait.Stepping into a car Jason relaxes in on his back unable to get the icy cold image of nadir away from his mind all he tried to do was explain what he saw and try to help out but nadir wouldn't hear of it, he still finds her actions surprising she t
Nadir could sense a particular familiarity with the same touch from xyla, she tries brushing it off her mind, not wanting her totally awkward dream become a reality,Besides whoever was behind her didn't speak neither did she see his or her face,xyla notices the change in countenance, and immediately becomes becomes worried he wonders why she's always like this with him, one minute they are both rolling around, acting cute, laughing and in love and most times it takes an ultimate switch to either awkwardness or withdrawal, He withdraws his hands from her shoulder slowly embarrassed enough not to look in her eyes,"Xyla I didn't…"Cutting into her sentence, he hesitates at first but restrict himself,"I know I shouldn't have, we aren't that close for me to go around touching you on the shoulders or coming up into your room at night". He sniffs slightly embarrassed, still looking away from her looking down to his feets.Nadir perplexed not knowing what to do in this situation, she fee
Chapter 9Both friends halts in their actions, looking at nadir like she's some total wierdo,she didn't just not deny, she mentioned a name for fuck's sake!!!!"Did you just say xyla?" Tabitha asks totally confused,First her friend had sex which is a huge blow but the fact that she did that when her father died makes a double blow, now her mentioning a total stranger makes a triple blow,Jake on the other hand stands jaw opened agape staring in disbelief and another look which is unidentified plastered to his face,Nadir stays on her chair giving the bad girl vibe crossing her arms across her chests, she knows for the first time in her whole life of being friends with both Tabitha and Jake she became unpredictable,Nadir has been the One to always admonish Tabitha against her wayward lifestyle and call Jake wayward because of his constant parties and binge drinking but now sheade herself the total psycho,"Did you just mention xyla?"

"Hi? "Jason asks trying to recall if or when and where he had seen the total stranger who recognizes him on sight,"Do you know Jake?" Nadir asks xyla, impatiently she turns to Jake,"You didn't tell me you guys knew each other""I don't I pretty much guessed he's xyla"Everyone who tensed up about seconds ago seemed to relax at once from that little affirmation from Jake,"May I know who this handsome stranger and Pretty lady are?" Xyla asks politely flashing his bright white set of teeths towards Tabitha and Jake,Jake, not pleased in the slightest with xyla ignores the question brushing past all of them, he seizes nadir's arms from xyla walking her towards him."Any spare rooms"Xyla feeling slightly embarrassed smiles shyly,"I am Tabitha and pardon the asshole he's just a douche in need of a good beating up I could fix an hammer if you like"Xyla laughs at Tabitha's statement, he likes this one she is pretty, cute and funny."Come on guys the house is up back" Jason says trying
Nadir couldn't believe her ears, she stares at Jason with a glum expression,Jason could tell nadir was totally worn out judging from her dresses she didn't even bother to take them off before laying in bed,"I tried holding them off but they wouldn't wait any more, I'm sure it won't take much time" Jason says trying to reassure nadir who was already fuming with anger,"Common I bet they have no reason to call me out thosw folks hate me and would gladly murder me when they get the chance to""Nadir!!! You are in a house full of wolves you should watch how you speak" Jason warns,"This, yeah this that happened right now is what I mean"She lets Jason into her room slowly locking the door behind him,Jason scrunches his nose these scent he's familiar with, he could sniff out xyla's scent and the other one is the scent of a man's cum and a woman's,His countenance changes immediately, he knows what happened xyla must have had sex with nadir already, how could she? Her father died just fe
Run!!!The words made nadir spring up from her bed panting heavily and heavy beads of sweat forming on her temples she wipes her face to see sweat dripping down on her duvet she had been sweating all through her nightmare,She had the same dream she had just on the day if her coronation, the same dream where her father saved her life in exchange for his and told her to run, but why would she dream of such a thing so early in the morning,She had cried herself to sleep last night, having to fight with Jason isn't one thing she wished for but she doesn't get why he's so pissed after all xyla remains her mate, she had thought of various reasons but nothing makes sense to her,"Your friends are up waiting for you"She smiles hearing his voice, the same notices the same thing she didn't feel his presence neither did she sniff his scent but pushing all thoughts aside she rises from her bed walking past him towards the door,"You want to keep ignoring me?"Nadir halts in her steps knowing t
