The Curse~Freya~I can't forget about what I just saw. I can't unlearn what I have just learned. Sofia is with Orion. I was dying to know what had transpired while I was away. The only person I can ask is Ryan, Damian may not have full information because he only started working for Alpha Kane and Ryan after Gina made Gary send him away because she suspected he was tied emotionally to Lauren. I needed to be smart about how I was going to pose my questions so as not to raise any suspicion. Lomy was helping Sofia hide her identity by telling them all that she had a scar from a burn on her face. I wish I could yank that veil off her pathetic face. All the anger I once felt came rushing back. "Are you okay? You haven't been yourself since you saw that lady." Ryan squats before me holding my hands "Your hands are trembling." It was after he said this that I noticed that my hands were indeed trembling. "Do you know her?"I had to say something fast and effective before I broke down. A
A Meeting of Fate~Freya~I was now a bit informed about what was going on at Moonstone Haven. But there were still some questions left unanswered. What was Sofia doing here? Why in the world would she sneak out to see her uncle in this condition and veiled? Lomy would have gone to see her anywhere if he wanted to. Something is definitely going on.When I saw Damian, I asked him if Nyx was a very powerful witch. "She is the most powerful which I have ever seen," he said. This response gets me worried. If what Damian says is true then I have every reason to worry because her curse will definitely take effect."I heard she cursed the Alpha of the Bloodmoon pack (Moonstone Haven) to be childless and lose everything and everyone he cares about?"Damian chuckles " Yeah, you heard right. He deserves everything coming at him." I don't need anyone to remind me they all hated Orion here. I wonder what is amusing about wrecking someone's life? And the way they are all saying he deserves it.
Stillbirth ~Orion~I continued to observe Tristan and Sofia from afar. Their betrayal broke my heart but wasn't enough to wreck me to the point that I'd be destabilized. If Sofia was Freya, probably the pain would have been unbearable.They haven't discovered that I have found out about both of them and that others in the Fort were suspicious of them, especially Gabriel.My plan now is if this child turns out to be mine, after a safe delivery I can kick her out afterwards. My initial plan before I discovered she was with Tristan was to move her to another wing in the fort when she delivered to reduce any contact we would both be having. But now with what was going on between her and Tristan; it was my opportunity to kick her out for good. Sofia was in labour. Despite knowing this I decided to leave. My only connection to that shameless woman is that child, which I doubt is mine. My mother will do me the favour of standing in for me. She questioned my recent actions toward Sofia. "Yo
Forbidden Love~Freya~Lyra comes to the Alpha's fort when she wants to. Especially to spend time with me, the babies and her brother. Ryan has been avoiding going home because he didn't want to discuss his relationship with Tiana. so he stays at the first too for now. Lyra came to ask me for a favour. She wanted me to lie to Ryan about her whereabouts, in case he returns today. She said she was going to see someone at the border. That's if Ryan asked about her. In order not to get him worried. That I should tell him that she went to see a friend of hers in town.Lyra refused to tell me who she was going to see. From her silence and how she was trying to avoid the question. I knew she was going to a secret meeting. "Selena. I promise I'll tell you when I return. When my brother comes back, just tell him I went to see a friend.""That's fine. Be careful then." I replied.Alex has been running a fever. Just when I thought this was frightening, he had several fits... to make matters w
A solution ~Orion~After what my mother told me about Nyx. I had more reason to be worried. Out of my stubborn nature, I shook my head from left to right vigorously in denial. I didn't want to believe I was a victim of a witch's evil spell and that spell had begun consuming me. "I heard the news. I am so sorry""So sorry about what? There is a high probability that the child is not mine." I respond to Gabriel's words of comfort."All the same, the child was innocent. It didn't deserve to die." "Tell that to Nyx. The bloody witch." I threw the hourglass from my side, smashing into a hundred pieces. "I am sending that whore out of this house first thing tomorrow morning.""You need to take it easy. Be calm and think deeply. Don't do something you will regret later. I know you have a lot going through your mind. Relax!""Don't tell me to relax, while I watch their stupid curse take control of my life." "There is a rumour. It seems everyone knows about you being cursed by Kane and his
Blood Sacrifice~Orion~I don't get what the fuss was all about. Mother came to my room fidgeting. I have never seen her in this state except the day my father died. This morning I sent one of my men to send a message to Sofia to get prepared for the ritual on the auspicious day. I had sent her to the other side of the wing so I didn't get to have any contact with her. After the ritual which is just three days away, I'll kick her out. I will make sure of that!I was surprised to see my mother storm into my room, she was trembling "Mother! what is the matter?" "Why didn't you tell me there was an emergency meeting with the council?" She grabbed my clothes. "I didn't know either. It was on a short notice. What is going on? Is there something I did ? or is there something I need to know?""Orion, It's about the curse. I told you to leave it to me the last time we spoke about it. I said I'll speak to my shaman. What have you done!?" Her eyelashes were batting without ceasing. I was ge
The Lycan with no origin~Orion~"Alpha, I am here to inform you to begin preparation. We are getting everything ready in the next three days." Elder Winston and I were having a walk. On a good day, I would have enjoyed this walk because it was weather was favourable for a nice stroll. It was windy, the clouds sat in the sky like white foams moving slowly as they shielded the sun's rays momentarily. With the present turmoil in my life, I can't enjoy things like this anymore. A chilly night with the stars adorning the sky. The nice scents from the garden. And more. "Very well, Elder Winston. That's fine. I'll be ready by then."I had to pretend to be fine. As Elder Winston passed the information. I was thinking of what my mother had told me. Do I consider abdication or do I take the risk of going to the red plum tree? She said I would die if I tried to go as I was not a Lycan descendant of the Bloodmoon pack.All my life was a lie. She lied to me. I am a man with no origin. For years,
It's been Tristan.~Orion~The council did not take the news well. I made sure not to meet them. I sent a message to Elder Fred and Elder Winston informing them that there was no need for the ritual as there was already a peace talk going on between me and the Alpha of the Wolfshade pack. If I had gone myself to inform the council. Then they would try to force me to go on with the ritual without giving any thought to what I had suggested. Something did not seem right in my chambers. The smell. It's familiar. The same one I smelled the night Sofia came to my room and when I was ambushed on my way to Wolfshade town to meet Kane. Just like those times, I felt weak and hypnotized. This time the scent was so powerful. I had to trace where it was coming from. I could see smoke filling the room. It looked like an incense had been burned. With staggered steps, I made my way to where the smoke was springing from. It was the secret passage in my room. Who would something like that in there
