"Oh, mom! I've waited for you all day, what took you so long?"
It was almost nightfall when my mother came and visit me at the guest house. We talked over the phone and plan to meet today. I am ready to go but my heart feels heavy, something incomprehensible is bothering my heart. I need her to tell me what's the best thing to do.
Her hands tightened around me as she answers my question. "I am not alone sweetie."
The door opened wide as soon as she finished the short sentence and the tall figure of the great Alpha King Jack entered the house. Suddenly the surrounding feels small for the two of us with his presence being added.
"How are you doing Miss Snipes? I'm sorry to be interrupting your mother and daughter moment nevertheless, your mother and I have a brief meeting this morning."
His hands gestured to make us all sit on the couch inside the li
* Prince Vincent *The Alpha house stood on a highland surrounded by tall concrete fences and guarded by several warrior wolves from the west. It's a three-story mansion with a vast garden and a wide parking space. It looks newly built, I haven't seen the place since my last visit."Welcome to the Alpha house your majesty, I spent days and nights finishing this comfortable place so that the next time you visit you could sleep comfortably in."I looked around and see the gates slowly open and our vehicle gets in. The flattery in his voice did not impress me."Marvelous! You did well Alpha Rio! This looks great, thank you for building such a beautiful place for your nephew."His eyes widened and his gaze looked away, he did not comment on my praise. Bringing up his nephew into the conversation makes him upset so quickly."Such a lovely Alpha house indeed!"Malef
* Ashley *My luggages are all packed and are settled at the back of my mother's car. As soon as we are settled in the car her driver started the engine and we head out followed by a pickup truck with four warrior wolves escorting us until we reach our destination. It doesn't feel frightening to be out there alone knowing that these wolves are going to protect us."I hope you are happy with the decision you made Ash, you know we are not aware of the enemies of the Prince if they are to attack us after the warriors leave."I turned my head toward her, she was looking outside the window. She's more upset that I left the Prince than the fact that we could be in danger, I know that for sure. But I don't want to say something that will add to her feelings."I'm sorry mom, I just want us to live a normal life again. I think that we will be alright since Prince Vincent assured me that the monster wolf and t
* Ashley *I felt my whole body burning up and the sweat comes out of my pores all over. The pain is killing me, and yet I couldn't say anything. I am half awake and half asleep at the same time but I could feel the people around me. I can hear their voices talking in the room.My mother who I am sure is the one holding my hand, is trembling in mixed emotions. The doctors are probably the people she's talking to, there are two of them. I hear their worried voices discussing about my condition."What happened to my daughter doc? Can she survive this?!""Yes of course Mrs. Snipes, do not worry so much and pray for a fast recovery. Some humans die after a wolf's bite but she displays a hundred percent survival. So I guess we are very lucky!""Oh, thank heavens for that doctor!"Wait, are we in the City or back in Langston Palace? I couldn't open my eyes yet. My
* Prince Vincent *The trip back took time as we have company, and we need to stop for food and get some rest. I am not comfortable leaving the Western pack under the rule of Alpha Rio however, my main purpose is to bring the child back to the Langston Palace. I did what my father asked, and leave whatever doubts I have for Alpha Rio and his brother in the West.When we arrived at the Langston Palace and the gates opened to let us all in, I could feel the difference in the air. The Palace has an aura of someone I did not recognize before. Did my father have guests?"Wow! It's huge!"I turned towards Venus who exclaimed as excitement reflects in her expression. The boy beside her remained calm and he look around before he stepped outside of the car. They both assessed the wide entrance to the Palace."Please, feel free to mind link me whenever you or Xander need my help. My father
* Prince Vincent *It was in the middle of the night when I smell the scent getting stronger. I sniff the air and wonder who could it be since my father has not said anything about a guest staying in the Palace. Xander and his mother have already retired for the night, having to wake up early in the morning to watch the warrior's training."Vincent, we have an urgent matter to discuss."The voice of my father stops my hand from grabbing another glass of whiskey on the counter. I looked behind me and meet his gaze then I move my eyes to see Carmela standing close to her. My mind was somewhere else."Yes father, what is it? We can discuss it here."I smirk and took the glass promptly, emptying it before placing it back. My father ran his eyes around, people are dancing to the loud music in the hall. This is a small party to welcome our guests who already left to rest.
* Prince Vincent *I feel the flesh coming from my father's chest entering my fingernails and smell the blood that comes out of his body. Carmela sprinted and pushed me hard to the side that my father's grip loosened and I fell to the floor. I could have stopped her but I have never hurt a she-wolf in my entire life."Don't fight! Please, your majesty. I am so sorry."My father stood still and let her embrace him in a very tight manner. "Stop apologizing Carmela! This has to end now! Our son has no right to disrespect you or me. He needs to know the truth!"My ears are echoing with his choice of words, our son? What the hell does he think of her, she is not my mother's replacement! She will never be!I stood up as fast as I fell and strode toward them, however, Maleficus was faster to get in my way."Your majesty, please hear the truth before you think of fighting with you
* Ashley *I am not sure what woke me up but I just suddenly rise from the bed and look around me. At first, the surroundings are silent. But after a few minutes have passed I can smell the scent of something so intoxicating. Musky vanilla with wood sage, it goes deep into my nostrils and inside my lungs through the veins of my body. I feel the need to find out where it is.I have never felt something so potent and wild, it almost made my heart, ache with a certain longing that I can't quite comprehend. My feet touch the floor as my body moves to put a robe on the nightgown that my mother has prepared for me to wear this evening. The fabric hugs my body like a soft touch of a man.What am I thinking?! I slowly turn the knob on my door and get out. I can tell that it is almost dawn and the wolves in the Palace will wake up soon. The smell becomes stronger as I sniff the air to follow where it comes from.
*Ashley *The pain continues, I feel like losing my breath as the bones in my entire body break. But I can feel him watching and that fact is making me gather all my strength to keep going. Then finally after I have endured for about an hour, it's over. I became one of them."Oh, you look amazing Ash!"I heard him whispered his voice is like a sound of melody in the air. I am all covered in fur, from my head until my toes. I can see a brownish almost red color of the fur on my legs and probably the rest of my body."Talk to me in the mind link Ash focus and answer my voice in your mind."He came forward and look at me in the eyes, his lips are not moving and yet I can hear his voice talking to me. I focus and try to say something that I felt."I, my throat feels very dry and my stomach hurt.”It was the first thing I notice as the p
