" I'll give this to the Alpha, take this to her." Melina said, referring to Estelle.Connor recalled Melina's words as he waited for the large living room door to open, expecting someone. His eyes shifted to the upper floor and a smirk appeared on his face as he wondered what Melina was doing.Meanwhile, Melina smirked as she saw the beautiful man reading. He looked so handsome that she just wanted to watch him but she was in a hurry." Melina," she had him call. He had noticed her first." Good evening, Alpha. Erm....I... Luna Estelle is back and she asked me to give this to you. She's in the royal kitchen." Melina lied, placing the wine glass carefully on the man's table.He only nodded and his eyes returned to the book he was reading but he looked up again when he saw Melina was still standing there." You can go, Melina." He told her but she angrily pushed her toe against the wall. Gosh, she just needed him to take a sip. A taste of that wine and everything would be good but
" Does...that mean, she also controlled you into falling for her?" Estelle asked, after a long silence and the man raised his head to stare at her." She won't be able to control me anymore. She only had the power to do that because she was beside me and I let my guard down too much." He replied and she nodded.A small smile on his face as he heard her relieved sigh." I'm just so happy she didn't do what she tried to do. I would have died of a heartbreak, oh my heart." Estelle sighed again, remembering River's half nude body." Come here," he sighed, opening his large arms for her and she smiled widely as she trudged forward towards him but just as she touched him, he flung her off him like she was some kind of disease.Estelle stared at him in surprise from where he had thrown her, ignoring the bruise on her arm, she stared at him as he suddenly growled loudly.She definitely didn't miss the way his beautiful eyes changed to the predatory and dangerous color of red." R...river?"
" As I said, my father was a complete demon, evil, wicked and any name you could call it. He was literally worse than a devil. He always wanted to win and be superior above everyone."" One day he met my mother and he wanted her because she hated him and because she told him he couldn't have her. He wanted to have her and suppress her, he wanted to be the superior one and the Lord over her. He did get my mother, but with force and he locked her in his cell, mistreating and torturing her, with his mistresses."" My father's several rape led to my creation and my mother's pregnancy which she loathed a lot. She despised me right from the womb but my father didn't know one thing. My mother was a witch, a young one who was practicing towards the peak of her power and that was why she never retaliated to any of my father's torments earlier."Estelle had him take a long breath and she squeezed his hand gently." She finally achieved the powers she wanted and as expected, she killed my fa
WEEKS LATER_SOMEWHERE FARAWAY In the dark coven, the beautiful woman with the seductive but deadly beautiful lips smiled this time, her lips parting as she stared at the hourglass that was placed on the high, red slab.The queen's eyes that were mostly always on the hourglass lifted with joy at every second and at every sand that fell down from the top side of the hourglass. Finally!" Finally." She sighed. There was just little sand remaining. So little and her eyes turned to a dark sword and a clay potl that was right beside the hourglass.A smirk that rose on her lips immediately turned to a frown when she heard those usually annoying, muffled groans from the cage opposite her.Like before, the figure sitting in the cage figured that she had garnered the Queen's attention and she tried to stifle her cries but it just wasn't working." You brat!" The Queen's sharp eyes glared at her.In the next minute, two figures appeared and dragged two wild, huge hyenas into the cage whil
Everyone said their painful byes to Alice as she was buried. Estelle's eyes burned as she couldn't cry any more from the continuous hours of tears, she was now too tired to cry.Kaileyn held her head in pain, seething at the migraine in her head. No one saw her crying but her puffy eyes gave her out.If it wasn't for her evil change, she was one of Alice's best people. Alice and her made a lot of memories that all rushed into Kaileyn's head the moment she heard that sad news.Because of the blindness Alisha had cast against her, she wasn't able to correct her image in Alice's eyes before her demise and she was so mad about it.Neil had stopped crying but his face was as grim and taut as ever. He was shaking in anger, extreme rage and revenge and the moment he laid his hands on whoever pushed him into this sorrow, he wouldn't even waste a millisecond in crushing that bastard's head in his hands.No one knew Lair appeared during the funeral because he didn't even spend up to half a
" She's so dumb, My Queen." Melina giggled." Q... Queen mother, what is happening?" " Nothing much, I just tricked you. You're trying to set up a coven under my very own nose? While I'm still on the throne? No way! So, I just tricked you to kill them by your own hands, nothing much." " You said my son would be the next Alpha!" The lush eyed witch shouted but she received a blinding slap instead." Don't raise your voice at me! The deal is still on, I'm not refuting that and I'm still going to take my revenge on River so he'll certainly be the next Alpha. I just wanted those fools dead, there should be no ruling except mine." Queen Aradia said and the lush eyed witch bit her lips angrily." By the way, that son of yours doesn't have enough darkness in his heart yet. He's still so useless even with all the people I killed in his life so he'd turn evil but he's still so stupid."" I–"" Do something fast. I don't care what you do, just make sure he has enough darkness in his heart i
" W...what?" She stuttered." Yes! Such great news, right? She was really devastated during the last one so I'm so happy for her this time. You shouldn't trouble her this time at all, River wouldn't waste a second tearing you apart." Kaileyn gasped but there was no sound. She felt tears burning in her eyes but she pushed it back so fast that even Marianne didn't notice." Great news." She said instead, with a bored tone.Marianne frowned instead but she immediately smiled again." You..."" What mark is that on your face?" Kaileyn asked, cutting her off like she wanted to end that topic.Her heart was heavy and burning and she didn't want to hear any more of it. She didn't know if she was happy for them but she didn't want to hear anything about them either." Huh?"" The mark on your face, there's a mark on your face." Kaileyn repeated and Marianna immediately touched her face." Oh, that? Probably cake batter. I baked a cake for the Luna just a while ago, it might have stained m
" As I was saying, if I don't get to come back, first of all, I want very adequate care for Estelle and our child. Take care of both of them so well if you know you've ever loved or respected me." He said and they swallowed again.Sweat beads could be seen on their foreheads this time." Take care of the pack too but, Neil, you might also have to consider your pack. Do as Luna Lindsay wants and rule there, still never forget to check on my Estelle and our child. It would mean a lot to me." He finished and this time, they were utterly speechless.Someone was eavesdropping and for some reason, the three men couldn't catch a scent to know someone was eavesdropping so the person clearly heard all that was discussed.When they were done, the person jumped in glee." Yes! Just as planned, my sacrifices aren't in vain!" The person whistled happily before leaving almost immediately.BATTLEFIELD. The moment Alpha River and his people stepped into the battlefield, one of their warriors wa
