She looked at me in worried" what about you? I hope the Alpha didn't punish you again?"
I was sure she was going to be happy when she finds out that we are going to the North together. This time around I'll be free from her shenanigans." Not at all Ashley"She looks at me in disbelief " So you don't want to tell me anything again? I thought we share secrets""It's nothing Ashley. The only thing I was told when I got to his office was, I'll be going with you guys" She looks confused at first " How? How comes he changed his mind "I shrugged " Who cares. Anyways, isn't that what you wanted"" Yes but....." She paused when she realized what she said: " Why are you making it sound as if I was jealous?"" Please don't start with this drama of yours, I was only saying "She rolled her eyes." Welcome to the pack but I must say, you lack no respect for my kingdom at all. Y'all didn't have to trespass, all you should have done is to ask for orders before entering " Alpha Ronald spoke.Ashley finally dropped it and we turned our attention to the chaos." Greetings to you Alpha"A burly man with an aura that shouted danger said." Greetings, You still haven't answered me "raised a brow " Well then, I am Brian, the beta of the North pack. I see no reason why I should ask for permission when you are already aware that we'd be here."The man was cocky and that shows how he has no respect for Alphas below his Alpha who is the King of Alpha. This isn't looking right at all. Alpha Ronald can be seen hungry to slice down King Beta's throat." This is going to turn bloody if care isn't taken" Ashely whispered beside me and I nodded in agreement " it is"" Ok then you can take them away but I believe you are aware that they will be back in two months?"The man clasped his hand " Unfortunately."" Good then, you all can be on your way then" Alpha Ronald commanded.Ashley held my hand scared at how the guards from the north were looking at us as if they want to strangle our little neck. Many of us were in tears but I held zero sentiments because I need to do as I was told to save my family.My plan of running away had come to a halt and I know if I dare to make a sprint, Alpha Ronald won't take it likely with me and that will be the end of my family. I can't take it if he hurts any of them. My heart aches in pain, I wonder when this misery will end. I'm tired of it all. I wish I can find my mate who will then protect me from all my dilemmas. " We are dead Melissa. This person held zero emotion" Ashley whispered into my head. My hands were already sweaty from the amount of force she used to hold them. I feel her pain right now but I have a grave task to do in that dangerous place. I fear for myself, I fear for what will happen to me if I get caught. I fear for my family." Breath Ashley, breath."" I'm trying but it's not helping at all. How are we even going to escape? Do you have a plan already?"I stared at her sad that I will disappoint her this time again " No, I don't have any"She was shocked " Are you sure everything is alright with you? I've seen your change of mood and attitude the moment you came back from your meeting with Alpha Ronald. I hope he didn't do anything to you? please tell me " I forced a smile " Nothin happened, calm down"Ashley was not convinced enough but she decided to nod " ok then if you say so"" Get in the Car" They yelled making us scream in fear.Three hefty cars were parked inside the pack. The first car was crowded with packs members ready to leave. Ashley and I went on to take the second car some other pack members also went with. I made sure I sat on the window seat preventing myself from getting squeezed.After every car was preoccupied, we began our journey to the North. I glanced towards Alpha Ronald and was surprised to see that he was already looking at me. His eyes were set on me with this look that says if I betray him, he'll put an end to my family. I could break eye contact until the car moved out of the palace." What was that about?" Ashley brought me out of my dazed look. I furrowed my brow, pretending as if I didn't know what she was talking about" What?"" That look you and Alpha Ronald shared "Thank God she was whispering, wouldn't want her to spoil everything." What look?" I asked acting dumb.She glared at me " Why are you doing all this "" What am I doing "" Please stop lying and just say the truth. I saw that look and no man in his straight mind wouldn't know that there was something involved" she pressed on.I know she won't give up" It's nothing Ashley don't work yourself up"" I need to work myself up if I find some things strange. This is so likely of you Melissa. You were never one to hide secrets so what changed?"I rolled my eyes tired of her always wanting to know what's going on with my life" ok fine, I'll tell you in due time " " Promise?"" Yes promise" " Who are those making noise at the back?"Ashley and I went mute.****It was already getting dark and we still haven't gotten there. The rumor must be true then. People say the palace is at the out sketch of the North. Somewhere far away from the West.I was beginning to grow tasty but who was going to hear us? The guards didn't even care. They wined and dined while we watch them. It's so sad that none of them have any iota of feeling in them. " I'm tasty" Ashley muttered beside me." Don't worry, well be there soon"" I'm scared Melissa. This whole thing is so unfair. We have all been deprived of our rights" she said sadly.I can vividly remember the day I got kidnapped and was locked up in a room scared of not having anyone with me. Then suddenly the next day, Ashley got pushed into the room. I remember how happy I was to have someone to talk to. She was my fast friend. I've never asked her how she even got kidnapping and now I want to know." Why not tell me how you got kidnapped in the first place?"Ashley was surprised by my question " I thought you'd never ask"" Go on, I'm listening "Ashley went into a daze as if reminiscing the moment it happened. She sighed then look up at me " My boyfriend sold me "...I was almost shocked at my saliva " What?"She waved it off as if it doesn't bother her " What's done is done. He invited me to his home for the first time and like the stupid girlfriend I was, I was so excited that I'll finally know where he leaves. He cooked for me and everything went smoothly not until I woke up the next day only to see myself in a different place where I was told that I was sold by him"" This iShe snorted " The worst is I pity any girl that will fall into his trap again. I'm sure I'm not the first and also not the last"I held her hand, proud to see how well she took everything. I never knew she was this strong " I'm sorry you went through this"Ashley chuckled " why are you saying it as if I was the only one that got kidnapped. Don't forget we both got kidnapped" Ashley pointed outI giggled " You
" We have 10 rooms available and if I'm not mistaken, I was told you all are 20 in numbers. This means two people per room. Let me make it easier for you then. You can choose your partner yourself so all I'm going to do is to pick ten people and I'll hand over a key each to this ten people selected. The key will have your room number, all you need to do is pick a partner and that's all."" We are roommates" Ashley whispered and I nodded" Let's wait and see who she'll give the keys to first before we can decide to be roommates. If one of us is lucky enough to receive one, then lucky us"She nodded in agreement" You're right "Granny Joanne moved forward to start handling the keys. She started from her left down to her right. She was finally standing in front of Ashley thinking she'll give Ashley a key, she didn't. She made a stop in front of me and I felt my breath stop. She gives me this kind of vibe that I don't understand.One thing I'm sure about is, I'm
"Why though?" asked granny Joanne as if reading my mind." This is so sudden. That pack has never participated in anything organized in our pack. Then suddenly their alpha came to plead with King Alpha to give them a chance. Why though? There must be a motive" the lady whispered and my heart made a thud sound.I was gasping for air, this isn't how I pictured my first day here. I can't believe we are being suspected.I was about to leave when her next question made me freeze."what is it about that girl, the one with the necklace? I saw how interested you were with the necklace "Granny Joanne cleared her throat " it's nothing really"" please tell me granny" the lady pleaded.There was a pause " Something is off about the necklace. I don't know what exactly and the worst is I couldn't get a sniff of her scent and the Alpha won't be too happy about that. You know how he always wants me to give him feedbacks about things like this most especial
" You shouldn't have done that"Ashley cried out " That was so rude of you"...I kept walking not listening to what she was saying. We were already given our uniforms and it is good to say it's nothing like the one given to us at the west pack. Everything about this place is just different, unlike all the rumors. What was remaining now is to see the King himself?He was still on a journey and is yet to be pack and it's kind of weird to say I just can't wait to finally meet him." I'm talking to you Melissa"Ashley brought me out of my thought" what is it again?"" I was talking to you and you went mute. You're becoming annoying " She glared at meI couldn't help but burst into fits of laughter " I think I should be the one saying that and not you. You, my friend, are beginning to avoid me and worst on our second day here and I understand. It's fine actually "" Don't try to emotionally trick me. I'm not avoiding you""Then why
We didn't realize the alpha was already on the chair ready to make his speech. Lena and I were too consumed by our conversation." let's listen," I told Lena and she nodded in agreement.This time around, I made sure I pushed the lady in front of me a little so that I can get a glimpse of the king." I am the king Alpha, the one you've all been waiting for " his voice sounds smooth and I can feel my wolf drooling.'He has a nice voice, Melissa' my wolf Lisa saidI rolled my eyes not wanting to get affected by that. Truth be told I felt it too, I felt some kind of pull but I don't understand. Maybe it's just me thinking too much.Since he was far from us, it was hard to see how he looks. I bet he is some ugly jerk that doesn't keep to his pants.'What if you're wrong?' My wolf questioned' Stop interrupting my thoughts, Lisa!' I snapped.Lisa pouted ' but why are you mean to me? I was only stating the fact'I mentally roll
We trailed behind the harsh woman as Lena and I prefers to call her. Lena held my hand in such a way that she believes if she release it I'd run away. I contained the pain because I was nervous too." I just hope this isn't the end of us" she whispered into my ears. I would have laughed if we weren't close to the harsh lady." Nothing like that will happen, Lena. Think positive always"She pouted " I'm trying but different scenario keeps swirling in my head and you know I find it hard to stop them "I rolled my eyes" ask your wolf for help "She gave me a look " you know she won't help with all the mate issues we have"I let out a sigh fastening our paste as the lady opened a big wooden door for us to enter. We all rushed in not ready for her shenanigans. I said a little prayer to the moon goddess to come to my rescue.The room was big like that of a museum. A bigger museum that has different shapes of ancient skulls and skeletons designed on the w
Melissa's povI can't believe how big this place was and here I thought it's something we can do and be done with on time but it's taking forever. I wiped the sweat on my forehead tirelessly." This is taking forever," I said to myself and sighed. I sat on the floor resting my back on the door. My hand went to my neck playing with the necklace. Then it clicked, I still have the necklace given to me by Alpha Ronald. I vividly remember him telling me to put it on only when I'm about to carry out my actions. I pulled it off and put it in my pocket.The others were also resting. A few moments later we were done so we all sauntered out of the room with our brooms and mops in hand. I turned around to give a last look at the Craving room as the people of the pack here call it.One day, I'll see what is behind the door. With that thought in mind, I walked out locking the door behind me as I was the last to go out.The harsh lady was already waiting for us. She
Rosie and Jemima glared at each other as they flex their muscles. Judging from the way people talk about them, one would think they were two burly females with a man's structure. Right now, what I'm staring at is far different from what people say.The two ladies were the definitions of the goddess. They are so beautiful that one can easily get jealous, I'm far nothing compared to them. I wasn't even that pretty. I scoffed to myself.Rosie was a blonde, not just a blonde but a shining blonde. Her skin sparkle in the sun making her look like an angel. She was so tall and had this model-like body, no one would have thought she was a warrior. I'm sure she must have guys falling at her feet.Jemima on the other hand wasn't a blonde, she had dark curly hair that brings out her perfectly round brown eyes. She was curvier than rose and a little bit shorter than the rose. Jemima has this killer body that will make guys go crazy.How can these two goddess be a warri
