Zephyra
I was still in shock from the previous night, my parents believed that I was a potential killer; my father so strongly believed it that he exiled me until Ciana, oh sorry, I mean “Cindy” regained consciousness and could tell the truth. I was also conflicted about how I felt having Nelly, Aaron and the babies here; with winter fast setting in; the cabin was cold without a burning fire and the boys worked tirelessly to make sure we had enough wood to keep the fire burning. Nelly and I took the form of our wolves to keep the babies warm while the boys were out, Nelly looked up at me and we started talking through mind-link.
“You know your parents love you”
“It does not feel like it”
“Trust me, they do; there is a lot that we do not know about them and how they run this pack.”
“Perhaps, but it gives no parent the right to exile thei
Zephyra I could not bear to see my father, a strong man, and a fierce Alpha fall at my feet for my forgiveness. It broke my heart, I was enraged and needed a plausible reason from him as to why he just exiled me without hearing my side of the story. “Please come in, we have a lot to discuss” I could feel Nates eyes on me, he was curious about what was going to happen; I had not told him or the others about my little spat with Ciana, my mother looked worried, “Darling, what’s happening?” “Nothing mum; I just want Nelly and Ron to get here, and I will explain everything” Nate and my father put more wood into the fire and my mother, and I watched the twins sleep peacefully, Nelly and Aaron returned from their date and were surprised to see our parents sitting in the lounge and the house was not turned upside down. “What
Olivia South Africa, the place I swore I would never return to… the place that robbed me of my title as Luna of the Blood Moon Pack and my mate. I hated this place with every fibre of my being. I got into the black X5 BMW and the drive started from the airport to the dilapidated factory warehouse; we reached there, and my Night terrors were there waiting for me. My car door was opened, and I got out“What is the intel on Ciana?”“Still unconscious my liege”“And the core pack families?”“My liege, they are falling apart, we received intel from one of our spies. The Alpha siblings have parted ways, Zephyra is with her mate in a cabin downstream, not far from the pack house actually”“Hmmm… keep me informed of any changes in her health, any intel on a date for the trial of Zephyra?”
NathanZephyra and I were out of bed, Zephyra was being summoned to trial because Ciana woke up and the Pack was demanding that Zephyra be put on trial and the proper punishment be given out; I did not understand how the pack had suddenly changed and were against the heir to the Blood Moon Pack. Zephyra had not said a word to me since we started getting dressed to head to the pack house; the tension in the cabin was building, Zephyra was used to shouldering all the stress and responsibilities; she failed to realise that I was with her, and we were a team.I pulled her close and held her in my arms and stroked her hair.“Everything is going to be alright”“How do you know Nate?”“I believe in us, in our love and plan”She pushed me away and my heart ripped into a million pieces, she was really pushing me away again,
NathanI could feel my wolf growing weaker and slowly fading away, the wolfsbane concoction that was being refilled in the viles every eight hours or so was killing me; the more my wolf tried to fight it out of my body, the faster it would work. Every fibre of my being called out to Zephyra, I could sense something was wrong. I hung my head in exhaustion; I wondered if she was looking for me, I wondered if she missed me.In the shadows of the dungeon, I heard that snake, Olivia “tsk” at me as she came into the light“Awwww , the poor baby… are you missing that little slut of yours?”A growl vibrated within my chest and a few pebbles on the floor rattled, Olivia took a step back, the expression on her face was priceless; she was afraid of me even in my weakened state.“You will never succeed in harming the Blood Moon Pack Olivia, Zephy
ZephyraI woke up to bright white lights and the sound of a beeping ECG machine, my head felt like it was spinning, and I could hear distant voices telling someone to call the doctor. I closed my eyes and opened them again, everything around me was a slow blur; I felt a familiar touch and a cool glass against my lips, my bed was elevated up and I leaned against my pillows, I was exhausted, and my body was aching all over. Something snapped in my mind as I reached for my tummy, I looked up at Nelly through tears that were gathering in my eyes,“My baby?”She looked away from me, holding my hand tight and a slender woman with salt and pepper hair tied in a ponytail and striking green eyes; she looked well over fifty but very fit and seemingly beautiful; she sat down on the edge of my bed and took a deep breath in, I felt my heart stop beating as if my being knew what was about to happen and I braced myself f
OliviaI sat in my makeshift office and heard the screams and war cries of my pack; Zephyra was here, and I loved the sounds of the screams and chaos all around me. She really knew how to make an entrance and create havoc, I taught her everything she knew but always made sure I was one step ahead of her.I leaned back in my chair and sipped on the large whiskey I had poured myself. Zephyra would work her way and come to find me, I just had to sit tight and let her do the work. I heard some squirming from the giant oakwood closet“Shut it before I kill you both”I yelled and silence fell, a wicked smile crossed my face and just in case Zephyra got too smart I had the trump card in my hand; or should I say CARDS.ZephyraI had made my way out of the hospital unseen. I could feel my wolf itching to break the surface;
OliviaI watched Zephyra bring Nate out of the dungeon cell and into the clearing; it was time to execute my plan. I called for one of my men.“Bring the hostages out to the front lawn”He grunted in acknowledgement and left the room, I allowed my wolf to come to the forefront of my mind; my fangs elongated, and my claws were out, I ran them along the walls of the corridor and stepped out onto the lawn, Zephyra’s surprises at my feet semi-concious. Standing silently; the rumble of the thunder in the sky and streaks of lighting; things were about to get deadly.Zephyra looked up and the expression on her face was priceless; a mix of fear and rage filled her, as her eyes looked from the floor to me and then back to the floor. Her eyes flashed copper, I could see her wolf breaking through the surface.Nathan on the other hand was almost like a lifeless corpse in Zephyra’s arms, I had completely broken his spirit. I feel like I had already won the battle. I moved two steps closer to Zephy
OliviaI watched as my pack was decimated right before my eyes; I was not going to allow this pack or that family win! I watched as Zephyra made her way to me across the blood strewn lawn, her nails dripping black blood. I grabbed Nate by his hair and my claws were slowly digging into his thick neck, I could feel the faint pulse on his jugular; Zephyra was ready to lunge at me and save her precious mate. A low pitched growl came from beside me, I noticed two of my warriors had Zephyra’s parents pinned on the ground; their claws slowly digging into their chests making their way to rip out their hearts. Stopping in her tracks but growling lowly. Looking from me to my two warriors“I wouldn’t do that if I were you; it would take me just a split second to rip his throat out and you would have to watch him bleed to death all because you’re impulsive and blinded.”
