Chapter 11
The willows and endless palm trees brought nostalgia to me as I remembered how Kevin used to bring me here.
How we would make love under the moonlight,praying for the moon goddess to bring me my wolf and to make us mates. How Kevin would shift in front of me and how beautiful I thought his wolf looked.
Those were the good old days. The days before Kevin cheated on me,telling me to my face how weak and wolfless I am. How he,a gamma couldn’t be with something wolfless.
How I found solace in bottles of liquor,the harsh taste burning my sorrows. How I met Lucien and how my whole life changed.
“Welcome home,” Lucien announced,breaking my chains of thought and I exhaled deeply as I looked around.
“Welcome to hell rather,” I muttered.
Nothing’s changed.The last time I was here, I left with humiliation,injuries and heartache.
“Alpha” a voice I recognized called out and we both turned. It was Greyson.
“Someone is here to see you. She says it’s important“, he glanced at me and I instinctively turned away. I saw him whisper something to Lucien which made his eyes widen in surprise.
“You’re sure of it?” Lucien asked and he nodded.
“I believe so. And she doesn’t want to talk. She said she would talk to only you.”
Lucien turned to me, “take her to a guest room,” he told Greyson and he nodded. before leaving.
He picked my luggage and walked briskly and I struggled to catch up with him.
“Who wants to see him?,” I asked as soon as I caught up to him.
“It shouldn’t bother you,” he said,still taking long strides.

“I wanted to know if it was about my children,” I said again and he stopped before. turning to stare down at me.
“If it was about your children, I promise you you’d know” he kept on walking,taking me through several wall of stairs that I had to wonder if I had to take such a long and stressful journey every day.
We walked wordlessly and by the time we got to the room which he said is mine, I was out of breath and panting.
“It’s so farrr..” I said trying to catch my breath.
“I’m sorry,the other rooms are not available right now“. I groaned as I plopped onto the bed,watching him about to walk away.
“Greyson!” I called out before he could leave and he turned.
I sat up, “I didn’t get a chance to say thank you.”
“For?”
“For taking me home that night.”
He seemed to be thinking. He probably had forgotten what he did for me.
“That night,seven years ago. When I..when I..when I was rejected by Lucien” I blurted out and he nodded.
“Seven years is a rather long time. I only did what I thought was best” he said,no emotion on his face whatsoever as he turned,closing the door behind him and the only sound I could hear was the receding click of his shoe as it hit the marble floor.
The shrill ring of my phone jolted me up. I didn’t know when I dozed off. I remember unpacking and laying down,looking at Kai and Rick’s photograph. I had. probably cried and fallen asleep.
I smiled and picked up the phone when I saw Sherry’s picture and name pop up
on the screen.
“Hey,” I answered Colly.
“Where the hell have you been?,I haven’t been able to reach you all day and I came to your house. I’ve been banging on your door but nob*dy’s answering. Where the

fuck are you?!” She demanded through the phone,her voice lacing with both anger and frustration.
“I didn’t get a chance to tell you…”
“Tell me what?!“” She cut in eagerly
I used the tip of my tongue to l*p moisten my already dried l*ps and sighed,wondering where I was going to tell her I went to and why I left without taking an excuse.
“I came to my hometown. I..er…uhmm..I couldn’t just hear the loss of both my mother and my children,” I said,feigning a sob.
I really wanted to cry at the thought of my children.
“Oh dear. I’m
she replied, so sorry. I was just worried that you’ve gone to do something stupid”
she replied and I sighed. Before she continued.
“Have you notified the police about the children?”
I paled at that. How could I have been stupid to forget that. I was in human territory, I should’ve reported to the police for protocol not that they could do anything to help me. I need to think about something to cover up urgently.
“My cousin is a police in Albuquerque, I informed him and he said I shouldn’t do anything because there are suspicions that one of our distant cousin is responsible. He’s almost caught him now” I rambled on,hoping she believes a word of it.
“But you should’ve reported it to the LAPD first. You know the crime was committed here!” She said firmly and I rolled my eyes.
Sherry was the only human I’ve seen who is very patriotic and law abiding. She has been like a sister to me for the past 5 years,
She was the one who recommended me to Doctor Terry to be promoted from an assistant doctor to a full medical doctor.
I first met Sherry in college and she instant took a liking to me and asked us to be friends. I learnt a great deal about the human life from her and almost told her about me being a werewolf when she read a werewolf book and spoke about turning into one and being with the person she loves when I smiled instead.

Being a werewolf isn’t easy as it is portrayed in human moveies and books. It was way inaccurate and funny.
“Maybe I’ll do that when I get back,” I said,disconnecting the call.
I opened the door and was face to face with someone I never thought I’d see again.
Eva Müller. My sister or once was. She was my older sister and I adored her until one day when she murdered my father.our own father.
She was putting on a black crop top and a long black flowing skirt that added an aura of mystery to her persona. She was smiling and her blood red l*pstick. infuriated me more.
When Olivia had told me about seeing Eva in silverpine, I thought she was wrong because Eva wouldn’t dare return to a place she was banished from.
I blinked rapidly and grid my teeth,clenching my fist as I glared murderously at her.
“What are you doing here?,” I Questioned,folding my arm,willing this to be a dream because Eva shouldn’t be in silverpine,in Lucien’s mansion,in front of me!.
“Calm down little sister…
I was seething with rage, “don’t call me that!,” I yelled in outrage.
“I’m here to help you,” she said and I scoffed.
Here to help me?,she’s the one who needs help because if Lucien should come int here and see her. Well,best believe she won’t be seeing the sunlight for a couple of
years.
“I know about your missing children,” I paled at that,my mouth agape,the words I wanted to say hanging.
“You..you.. how?” I stuttered and she smiled,opening the door fully and going to sit at the sofa in the room.
“You kidnapped them!” I rushed to her,with a scalpel to her n*eck.
Since the day Mother died,I always kept a scalpel hidden on my thigh.
She laughed and I pushed the metal deep into her skin,I had the urge to just pierce.

her and get it done with. That was a vital point,if I stabbed her there, she won’t survive.

But I couldn’t do that,no matter how good it would feel. I am not a murderer. I am not her.
“You can’t do it,” she said laughing and I removed my hand,heaving a sigh.
“You’re right,I can’t. I’m not a murderer like you” she winced at my words.
“You can hate me all you want but I’m serious. I came back to warn you about the blood creek. What they want with your children” she was saying and I inhaled deeply.
“What do they want?”
“To eliminate every other person with legitimate claim to the throne or keep them as a puppet to rule”
I scoffed. “If they want to rule,why don’t they just do it the way other rogues have done. Why do they want my children?!. We aren’t even interested in being in Silverpine. I hate it here”
“Well…there’s the ancient blood ritual. Where the blood of an Alpha is drank to declare the one who drinks it an Alpha…”
She kept rambling on one thing and the only thought on my mind was the “drank“. They want to drink my children’s blood as they have Alpha blood in their veins.
“I need to tell Lucien…”
“I already told him“.
