âKatie stop,â Rowan said. I guess heâs also wondering why Katie was bringing up the issue again.âWhat?â She asked innocently. âIâm only asking him a harmless questionâ she finished with a poutâJust stop it and letâs eat these delicious cakes already,â Rowan said to close the discussion but Katie isnât done yet.âAwww. Iâm really not invited thenâ she said againâKatie, itâs a packed ceremony, every member of Scarlet is invitedâ I answered her with the hope that she will finally keep quiet about it but I was wrongâ so why didnât you invite me? Because am your ex?ââKatie. Stop it right nowâ Rowan urged in annoyance. I am getting annoyed too, good thing Monna isnât here or what would she be thinking of me right now?âLet him answer Rowan,â she saidâNo Katie, the official announcement isn't out yet and you're not my ex,â I said to her for the nth time since high school.âHow can you say thatâŚâ Katie started but Rowan cut her offâKatie I said stop itâ Rowan almost yelledKatie, Rowan
MonnaâI will be fine Isa, itâs just a minor coldâ Iâve been trying to convince Isa since she came in here this morning that I already lost count of how many times I said that but she was too worried about me to take any of it.â if you donât want to see the pack doctor then let me make you some herbal teaâ she suggestedâYou know how to make them?â I askedâYes my lady, my mother used to specialize in different kinds of herbsâ she explained but I couldnât help but notice the use of past tense, was she not practicing anymore?âUsed to?â I Decided to ask. She sighed sadly before looking down and up again.âYes my lady, she died three years ago,â she saidâOh no, Iâm so sorry about that,â I said trying to console her.âItâs no problem, my lady, itâs been long and Iâve gotten over it,â she said with an obviously forced smile.If thereâs anyone that would understand that situation then itâs me, itâs impossible to get over the loss of a loved one especially when they were a big part of yo
IvanâMonna?â I called to confirm if it was really her in the hallway. Her reaction confirmed that it is indeed her. But why was she sneaking in?âCome hereâ I called to her to join me in my fatherâs garden. He loved plants and flowers a lot so when he died I personally took over the garden. From the weeding to planting to willowing tĂł dressing, I did all required activities on the garden single-handedly. And made sure no one else stepped a foot in here aside Rowan. It is another safe haven for me. But why did I call Monna inside? Why is it not irritating me that sheâs walking into my precious garden right now?âGood evening Alpha,â she said with her head downâIâm so sorry Alpha, I really didnât mean it, we lost track of time and ⌠andâŚâ she blurted shakily. Oh thatâs why sheâs sneakingâRelax Monna, youâre not some prisonerâ she snapped her head up immediately I said thatâHow old are you?â I askedâIâm eighteen alphaâ she repliedâWell, youâre an adult, a young one though, but you
MonnaThe excitement of everyone I encounter today is at its brim, never had I seen a mere pack member excited about a packed dinner. I also never have heard that every pack member is invited and must be present.Back at Crescent Moon, pack dinner was another day to work for hours without rest until the maids and slaves begins to pass out.A lot of distinguished dishes are to be served, the whole house cleaned multiple times, and unnecessary tension. And then the dinner is only open to the high-ups in the pack. You have to be royalty, delta, or from a wealthy or noble family to attend because commoner or poor was not allowed to the dinner. This pack has never ceased to amaze me and sometimes I wonder if it was really Ivan that is the devil Alpha, am I mixing things up somewhere? because the Alpha of Scarlet that Iâve met and been around is nothing like a devil, Iâd gladly nominate my uncle Gill for that title instead.I went into the kitchen to help out the maids, itâs been a while si
IVANIf there is somewhere Iâve desperately wanted to be, it will be with Monna, right now, getting a taste of her lips and hearing her soft gasp but here I am, dressing in a tuxedo ready to announce Bella as my mate. I havenât heard from Leon since this morning but I understand why he wouldnât want to speak with me, even I hate my self for what am about to do to both Bella and my beautiful mate Monna. But I had no choice at this point, I have to be an Alpha, I have to be strong enough to protect my pack and I have to of course avenge my late father and his comrades, I have to get justice for my mother and every other woman that was molested by those bastards. Bella has clearly been in high spirits since yesterday. She started making preparations of clothes, shoes and jeweleries to wear to the announcement and for the past hour Iâve been stuck with her throwing different dresses on and changing them all over. Sheâs so obsessed with looking the best in the dinner that she would put on
MONNA I took in deep breaths to calm my running heart while trying to understand what just happen? Did Alpha just do that?Did my mate just called me his for the first time?Ivan is confusing me big Time and at the moment I donât even know what to think anymore.He made himself quiet clear about the mate and Luna thing and then kiss me like that and called me hisâŚ.Did he change his mind?Is that even possible?⌠what alpha would want to take a mere slave as his mate and Luna? Yet the little grain of hope that Ivan would brought so much joy to my heart.âGood evening Scarlet!!!!â Ivanâs voice boomed into the speakers around the hall. Oh yeah he did say it was time for dinner before leaving. I took a few final breaths before pulling my dress making sure itâs in place before walking into the hall to join the whole pack in responding to the prayers Ivan was saying. He stood there looking like a God handsome with maximum authority. He finished the prayers and the hall was filled with th
I kept pacing back and forth at the back stage of the podium in confusion, what the fuck did I do? Damn!!!I was so carried away with jealousy and Leonâs urge and pull that I went ahead and kissed Monna again. The kiss woke up every thirst and brunch in me that I was back to questioning my decision to put my pack first.Put it together Ivan. Put it together. I kept on reciting in my head like that would make all the guilt, confusion, pain and anger I have all bottled inside right now.Iâve never been more confused!âJust take Monna as your mate already Ivanâ Leon screamed in my headâI canât do that Leon, you know I canât, not at this timeââBut I love her!â He screamedâI love her too Leonâ I screamed backâThen mate her not that bitch!ââIvan, are you okay?â Rowan suddenly touched my shoulders from behind.âMan, Iâm confused as fuck!ââWhatâs going on Ivan, heard youâve been pacing the whole area?â Rowan asked with worry on his faceI was about to explain everything that happened w
Monna Never in my life had I ran like that night at the woods, the night my parents were slaughtered, the night I met with fear face to face, the night my life got ruined for ever, the night I ran as I was told but I would give anything for that night to come again.If it does come again I wouldnât run like my parents kept telling me to, I would stay and get killed or beter still I would have gone with the strangely wounded boy I met in the woods.But tonight in my wolf form I ran a three times my speed on that night into the same woods I dreaded with my entire being. After that nightâs incident, I avoided the woods as much as possible because of the nightmares and fear from the incident but tonight the fear is far from me as I ran deeper into the woods.It sure feels like the anger and pain I feel fueled Isa as the speed seems to increase.Suddenly a much bigger wolf appeared right behind making me stop in my track immediately. It was a black colored wolf looking straight at me wit
