Luckily for me, it's been smooth going so far. I haven't encountered any trouble yet today and hope it will be like that for the rest of the day.
I quickly get myself ready for school.
On getting to school, I hoped and prayed once more for today to be normal for me.
I keep my head down as I find my way to my classroom. My stomach keeps grumbling because I haven't had my breakfast yet.
I check my phone for bank alert, as today is the last day of the month, waiting for Mrs. Johnson whom I work for as a library assistant to give me my salary.
So I keep checking my phone as I sit down on my seat....in the far corner of the classroom near the window. I pretend to be looking out the window while at the same time being alert, listening to everything around me. And I rather sense that my classmates are busy today, as they gather in groups talking among themselves.
I horn my listening ability to hear what they are talking about properly.
"Did you hear Steph, he is coming tomorrow. I'm so curious how he looks. I can't wait to see him". I hear the pack's slut Chloe, says.
"I heard he is so handsome and that he thinks his mate is in our pack that's the reason why he is coming. I really hope I'm his mate". She adds. I wonder who they are talking about. Who is he, that he got every one of them worked up.
"The pack is so lucky to have him chose our pack to transfer to and will surely be happy tomorrow, most especially me". Chloe continues.
I'm beginning to get more curious as to who is coming tomorrow.
Usually, visitors from other packs do come to our pack for a visit but there's rarely a case where they attend the school. It's actually very difficult to transfer schools between packs. Only very few people are privileged with the power to do so. These people are the royalties and those special cases where the royals and the wolf councils agree to transfer an individual with a special reason. So definitely the person coming will be either case.
" I'm so excited too Chloe.... I've been wanting to see him up close. I only got the chance to see him from a very long distance and that was just thrice when I followed my parents to the council meetings". Stephanie one of Chloe's friends replied.
My curiosity got the best out of me when I moved slightly to the side, making it very obvious I was listening to them.
The next thing I know was that I saw a book flying my way. I was able to avoid it at the last minute by moving to the side and the book fell with a thump on the floor.
I heard loud gasps as most of the students present were surprised I could avoid it.
I think mostly because first, the speed at which the book was thrown wasn't normal and it was with the intent of causing damage. Therefore I shouldn't have been able to avoid it so fast since it was believed I have no wolf.
And also my head was lowered when it was thrown so they didn't expect me to avoid it since I didn't see it coming.
"How did you do that?" Chloe demanded coming to me with angry steps. I chose to ignore her and kept quiet.
"Answer m....." she said as she slapped me
This time I didn't avoid the attack but braced myself for it....but who would have thought that the moment she slapped me, her bones were heard broken and following that was the scream of Chloe's voice.
"Ahhhhhhhhh.....my hand.....she broke my hand...." she shouted dramatically. What a drama queen....isn't she a werewolf with her wolf intact and also has d ability to heal faster than humans. Serves her right anyways. Right now I believe the whole school heard her voice and literally speaking, they did. The moment she screamed a large group of students and teachers rushed into the class.
"What's going on here?" The moment I heard that voice I visibly shudder. Leon the pack's alpha to-be asked as he walks in. He is mostly the instigator of the maltreatments I face and there's no length he has gone to make my life a living hell. That's why today has been feeling so unreal for me because it was going just too smoothly to be true.
Well, it seems I've short-lived my smooth-going day so far. Now I prepare for the misery that's about to happen.
His gaze scans the class before landing on me. He growls out as he notices me looking at him sneakily. I quickly lowered my head.
On seeing him, Chloe ran to him with tears running down her face.
"Leon she broke my hand"
"Really.....how did it happen. As far as we know she has no wolf and is nothing less than a human." He said as he walks towards me. He stopped in front of me and said with venom laced in his voice " freak answer me....how did you do it".
I chose not to answer and kept my head down.
"Answer me" he demanded using his Alpha order on me (AN: she was born into the pack as a werewolf but not bonded with the Alpha making her not having any mind-link with the pack. But she's still a member of the pack. An alpha's command can still be used on her). I notice that it doesn't work quite well on me...I just feel it slightly. I was shocked. It should have total control of me like it usually does before....but now it's just slightly that I can choose not to obey it. I think he also felt it because I felt him being shocked for a bit before he covered it up with his viciousness.
Wait a minute... I felt...like I seriously felt his feelings just now.....how is that possible.....how can I feel his feelings and him being an alpha to-be at that. I tried feeling his feelings again and all I feel coming out from him is anger at not understanding and controlling me right at the moment. I also feel his wolf trying to gain control because he could not tolerate disobedience. I sigh and chose to obey his alpha control
"I don't know, " I said in a small voice but every one of them can still hear me because of their high hearing ability
"You don't know..." he roared losing control to his wolf. He raises his already clawed hands and was about to attack me with them.
"Leon.....stop" his mate, Ever quickly went forward to stop him before he does. She gave me a sad look before dragging him out.
Well, that was close. God knows what would have happened had his mate not stopped him. I sit back in my seat as everyone else dispatched and the teacher also entered right at that moment. I think it's high time I left the pack. I've been thinking about leaving for some days now ever since the changes started. I can only hide them for a while. I don't know what will happen once they are discovered. Today was a close call and I can't afford them to know. It could lead to my death once discovered. Luckily for me, I was soon forgotten because of the excitement in the air. Mrs. Johnson even added a bonus to my salary because of it which I was grateful for since I can now add more to my savings. The day went by quickly and classes were over before we knew it. When I got to the packhouse, everywhere was filled with preparations and I know for one that I would definitely be ignored for the rest of the day and mostly tomorrow also hopefully. I quickly went dow
ZEID "Zeid....come to my study right away" the king, my father mind link me before cutting the link once more. Ever since my 20th birthday, my father has been wanting to pass over the throne to me but couldn't because I haven't found my mate. He has been persistent in helping me find my mate to the extent of inviting almost every female werewolves in the whole of North America to the palace daily. Despite that l still couldn't find my mate. I keep telling him that when it's time I will find her but no he wouldn't listen. All he wants is for me to find my mate so he can pass the throne to me. His excuse is that I'm fully ready to take the throne and that he fully trust my ability to lead the werewolf kingdom. Anyways I'm actually the one in charge of mostly all the affairs of the kingdom all he does is for him to put his approval On the necessary documents ....so I wonder why he is still in a hurry to pass the c
Zeid "You can both leave to prepare for your journey," my father said as he dismissed us. *** We got to my mate's pack, the blood moon pack at exactly 12am of the following day. When we got there it was the Alpha and the elders that came out to greet us but at the same time, we could hear the sound of music playing from inside. "Welcome Prince Zeid, Prince Brice" They all greeted us bowing their heads. My brother and I acknowledged them with a nod and followed them into the packhouse. On entering, my wolf started becoming restless and I knew my mate was nearby. I tried to calm him down as I tried...take note "tried" listening to the Alpha as he introduces me to all the elders one after the other. God knows I can't remember a single person's name among all of them. All my concern right now is to locate my mate. I mind link my brother to keep the Alpha and the elders occupied while
Ashley I ran as fast as I could to my room and picked up my already packed bag I know no one will be after me right now because they will want to leave a good impression on the Prince's mind. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't hurry up. I know the moment they have the opportunity I won't be left untouched for what happened. I heightened my hearing to check if any hurried footsteps were coming my way and truly no one was coming. I take a deep breath and whispered to myself "now or never". I opened the basement door quietly and checked the corridor once more to confirm if anyone was approaching. once I confirmed it, I heightened all my senses to help me leave without being noticed. In no time I found myself at the boundary of the pack. I take one last look at the pack before turning around to walk away not regretting my decision to leave. Not even after finding out my mate was Prince Zeid.
Zeid On walking into the restaurant, my gaze moved across the room as it landed on her. I move to walk towards her when I felt a hand on my arm stopping me. I growled in warning at Brice "Calm your ass down bro," he said rolling his eyes "you don't want to scare her away again right, remember how long it took for us to locate her. You wouldn't want to look for her for that long again or longer even," he said pulling me to sit in one corner of the restaurant. " prince Brice is right your highness. It wasn't easy locating your mate. It's better if we don't rush things and take it one step at a time" my gamma Rye said agreeing to Brice. " Why not let me walk up to her and make our order to see her reaction first" I nod in agreement to Rye and sat down. It took all my willpower not to stand up and walk up to her. I can't help it. Looking at her now, she looks so different from how she looked when I saw her in her pack. The d
Ashley "What...what do you mean 'by I'm not coming back.." he walks to the driver's side and hopped in "it means what it means.....you know what I think I prefer it when you don't talk or ask questions " he said driving out of the parking lot. I shut my mouth and turned back to see Prince Brice and the rest enter the other vehicles I failed to notice were there before following behind us. I look at the restaurant where I work fade slowly as we move farther away from it. My heart becomes heavy as I wonder where he is taking. Is it to my old pack or the palace? What is he going to do to me? Is he going to punish me for running away? Many questions keep coming up on my mind as I twin my fingers together trying to calm myself down. I take a look at him and couldn't help being drawn to him. He is just what you call perfection but I won't let his look distract me from my current situation. I need answers
Ashley "Alpha," she said suddenly bowing her head to him. I was surprised by her action and widen my eyes. wait a minute my eyes were opened but I remember closing them before, when did I open them without me realizing it. ok hold on, that's not important, how did she know what I'm thinking can she hear my thought? but how?. I widen my eyes more as I realized she just greeted Prince Zeid. can she see him? can he see her? but how is that possible. Am I going crazy here? no, I'm not crazy that I'm sure I slowly turn my head to look at the Prince to confirm my thoughts. seeing his shocked expression and his train of sight that was definitely wasn't looking at me but past me, confirmed my thoughts that they can see each other. "you can see her?" Still, I asked him to confirm it fully. That was when he finally looked at me with questions written all over his face. "what's going on here," he asked me confused. I turn to
ZEID "what's going on here," I asked my mate in which she turns to look at the woman for explanations to which she explained. the woman whose name She later said was Hera, explained the situations to a certain point to the both of us but despite the explanation, there were still some things that left me confused like was it not only the royal family that had the privilege to own special powers but it could still be understood that because she's my mate that she also could be entitled to a special ability just like my parents but according to what Hera said, she has more than one abilities in which I can also have access to whenever I'm in close vicinity with her. On hearing she has the power to restrain my access to her abilities, I was filled with a heavy heart. Why would she want to block my access to her powers as I am her mate? Except she doesn't want me as her mate, would she think like that? Was that why she ran away when she first s
