"What do you think of Amber? Today, she would be an odd again, just like the first time she came here" Wenda said"There isn't much I can do for her, you know how she is but I'll make sure she doesn't get hurt" Said Peyton"I wish she could know the kind of danger she's in""About the Ball? We need to get it here before the ceremony""Sure. Let's go to my place"*"Let me make you a cup of coffee first""There would be no need for that, Wenda. We're already running out of time""Okay. Let me go get the Ball then" She said and went to her room while Miss Peyton sat on the couch to wait for herFew minutes later, Wenda came back to the living room with the Ball wrapped in a piece of blue cloth."Thanks for this, I'll forever be indebted to you""It's nothing. Let's rush back to the school."The two ladies walked out of the house, got in Wenda's car and drove off to the school. It was 9:00 am when they arrived at the school and Miss Peyton's eyes fell on Amber's door as she walked passed
"Iris, be fast. You don't want to be late for the party" Helen yelled from the living room as she walked to the dining with the meal she had prepared for Ignacio but she got no response from Iris.After waiting for a while with no response yet, Helen walked up the stair to Iris's room and knocked gently."Iris, we have to leave soon. He would have been expecting us now" She said but still no response so she opened the door.She saw Iris on the bed, fully covered with the bed sheet and she walked into the room - the door still opened."What do you think you're doing?""I should be the one asking you that question, mom""What's wrong?""I've been the one always doing what you want while Ignacio fails but you shower him with more love. Even if you try to hide it, it's still very obvious""You can't say that, baby. You know I'd chose you over him a thousand times""All because I've been obedient to you""What's all these about?""Just admit it and let me know where I stand""Yes! I love I
"The Ball is starting in few minutes, we have to go out now" Miss Peyton said to Maya and Wenda and they all went to the Grand Hall.The Grand Hall on a normal day was a beauty to behold but the Wolves Day made it more magnificent. Few guest were seated in the hall, all mesmerized by Miss Peyton's beauty and her shiny dress that made her face glistened. She approached the platform with the Golden Ball in her hands and Helen smiled to herself, thinking it was a fake."The feast is going to start in a few minutes so let all us be patient as we wait for the students to join us" her voice reverberated in the hall and people applauded her.Miss Peyton dropped the Ball on the table placed on the platform and went to sit where had been secluded for the instructors. Immediately, the time clocked 10am, the students started trooping in. The families of the students waved at them as they walked to the front to take their seat but Ignacio rolled his eyes as soon as he saw Iris and his mom."Did
Amber closed her eyes and touched the Ball slightly. The Ball opened the revelation."A cursed member of a pack?" Murmurs filled the air as the first sentence was voiced and it was at this point that Amber regrets her actions but Jaeleah patted her shoulders."She is cursed?""I saw her leave the other time, she was trying to avoid the Ball.""She is so shameless. How dare she come back after knowing who she is?""Is she going to spread the curse round the pack?""Isn't the penalty for cursed people death?""It's the first to be received in this pack so we solemnly welcome you. Your life is in your hand. You want to break the curse? You can. You want it to keep lingering? You can. But something special awaits you today because you have been the odd again. Be careful while choosing your mate as your mate can either kill or make you heal. The next few years would be tough, tougher than those you've spent. You think you're going to die soon? No! You have some things to achieve but your d
Miss Peyton cleared her throat and silence fell in the Hall, "Let the party begin while we await the wolf shifting" She said and the students cheered.Miss Peyton rushed to Maya and grabbed her by the arm, "We need to talk now""Is it that important? The party just started""It's important, it's about Alvin""Alvin?"They both went to somewhere quiet and Miss Peyton looked around to be sure there were alone."Talk already. We are the only ones here""I just needed to be sure. I heard Alvin's voice""Is this some kind of a joke? How can you hear his voice? Someone that disappeared twenty years ago""I'm serious, please, believe me. I was eavesdropping on every conversion because of Jenna and I heard his voice. He said he was proud of me""Is this possible? Is Alvin still alive? Could he be in this party?""I think so. Please, let's find him before it's too late""Sure!"*Liza was walking back to the Hall from the restroom and wasn't looking when she bumped into a man on face cap."I'm
Jenna waited patiently for her wolf shift but nothing happened till 12pm when the whole wolf shift dropped. She got infuriated and dragged Helen who was having fun in the party out of the Grand Hall."What is this about? Let go of me" Helen yelled at her and wriggled out of Jenna's grip."What happened? I didn't have my wolf shift""Wolf shift? What does that mean? Your pack is cursed" she retorted, adjusting her dress."Not anymore. A female Alpha was going to be chosen today and it has to be me but the wolf shifting had stopped""Wait! Let me get this straight. You were planning on becoming the female Alpha of your pack?" She scoffed"Yes, got problems with that?" Her face went red as she spoke."So that was why you've been doing all of these? I should have known. As it stands now, someone would have had that shift so what do you intend doing?""I'm going to find her and kill her, then I'll become the Alpha" she gnashed her teeth"Good luck on that!" She said and turned to leave bu
"What? How can that be?""His parents adopted me when they wanted a female child but the doctor warned his mom about getting pregnant again. Since then, he swore that we would live like biological siblings but I was little then to understand. When he found out I was in love with your brother, that was when he revealed the truth to me and I was glad because I was a month pregnant for Alvin then. We thought it would be best to get your blessings first before breaking the news to you but the unexpected happened.""I'm so sorry, Peyton. I should have been more understanding" she said and hugged her"It's fine, I also understood things from you perspective. I would have done worse if I was in your shoes""Amber! I haven't seen her" she snapped as she disengaged from the hug"I'm sure she would be with Jaeleah or Liza"Maya brought out her phone from her back pocket and dialed Liza's number and she picked immediately and sounded excited."Where are you and why do you sound so excited?""I'
"I'm a friend to her sister but I don't necessarily have to see her. I'm here to pay for her treatment" "Her treatment? Do you have such money to pay?" She said and scoffed"You're being rude, young lady" he retorted"I'm sorry, the fee is $2500. How would you like to pay?" She sneered at him"I'm with cash" He said and gave her $3500"That's extra $1000, in case she needs anything else. I'll take my leave now" He said and turned to leave, leaving the nurse bewildered but he suddenly stopped and turned back to her."Tell her sister the fee has been paid. If you try to play smart, I'll find you and treat you right because that money cost my life" He said and left the hospital.*Yana and Adams took Alvin to Yana's house. She had a secret basement that is protected with strong spells."I'll clean up so you can feel at home" She said after she walked down the basement with Alvin"It's fine. Allow me do the cleaning, see it as my payment for helping my sister all these while""Do you kno
