Mag-log inCHAPTER 74: BEFORE THE INAUGURATION.LIANA'S POV. I woke like every other day, but this day was like every other day. It was the D-Day - it was the day slated for Trevor's official takeover of power before the eyes of the world, manifesting what he had done behind the scenes. But you know what's funny? I did nothing. Yeah. Absolutely nothing. I was unaware that a committee had already been set up and had been working behind the scenes. Heck, Gwendolyn even headed that committee, despite her busy daily schedule at the office.I sat down before Trevor in his study while he, Gwendolyn, and Boraz went through the lists of guests and dignitaries, most of which were unfamiliar to me. "Has this person been called? Has that person been called? Was the email sent to so and so?" Trevor confirmed and re-confirmed if the invitation reached the designated individuals. And all the responses he got were positive. I was glad that it went as planned. But the idleness was frustrating me. "The con
CHAPTER 73: THE NIGHT VISIT.TREVOR'S POV.Later that day, we were in the elevator, heading down to the hotel. We were leaving. I looked at the piece of paper that the elemental witch scribbled on. It was her phone number she wrote on it. I found myself letting out a mild chuckle. "Is anything the matter, sir?" Liana asked, having heard the sound that proceeded from me. "Not at all," I replied. Diana had left already.The elevator dinged open, and we walked out. A man whom I recognized from the previous day after I arrived and lodged in the hotel hurried toward us. It was the Manager of the hotel."Good morning, Mr Vanderholt," he gave a generous smile. "Manager," I responded."I was headed over to the penthouse. But it seems like you're heading out," the manager said."No. We're leaving," I replied."You're leaving already?" His eyes widened in surprise. "Yes. There are things I need to take care of," I answered."I was hoping we'd be able to have a brief discussion, Mr Vanderhol
CHAPTER 72: PARTNERS IN OPPOSITION. The night was beautiful and calm. Outside the Alpha Supreme's residence, crickets chirped, and owls hooted freely in the vegetation just beyond the pool. But within the house, the atmosphere around the dining table was getting intense for some."Why do you kids seem surprised? I'm sure you all had an inkling about it, Alpha Roderick said, then he turned to Khole. "Didn't you tell your daughter about it?" Alpha Roderick asked. "She can't feign ignorance of this. We've spoken extensively about it, even though she was dismissive of the idea. Or didn't I, sweetheart?" Khole asked, smiling. But Tessa rolled her eyes, not responding to her father."Dad, isn't such a decision meant to be based on love? I mean, we are two consenting adults, and what you're proposing is the old ways. We need to be on board," Carl argued."Do you think the marriage of the future Alpha Supreme is a thing to be trifled with, and approached carelessly? The future of the allie
CHAPTER 71: FAMILY DINNER.Alpha Roderick was done with work and headed back to the estate - his place of abode. Francis held his bag as he alighted from the vehicle and walked into the house. But before he got in, Francis caught him smiling as he looked at the property. This"Is anything the matter, Alpha?' Francis was prompted to ask."No. Nothing," he shook his head. But within, he said, "I can't believe that this is all mine." Francis could only wonder what churned in that head of his. As they got in, they met Vicky in the living area, seated in front of the hundred-and-ten-inch television, binging a rom-com, munching on a pack of Pringles."Vicky. You're back.""Hey, Dad," she answered somewhat absent-mindedly. Her face was still glued to the television. "How was the trip?" Alpha Roderick asked as he stood for a while to show interest in the welfare of his wards."It was great," she answered, her face still glued to the television. "And Carl? Where is he? Upstairs?" "I hav
CHAPTER 70: CHANGES. Alpha Roderick was in his office in town, handling some paperwork. Even though he was the Alpha Supreme, the leader of the Alliance, which comprised the four most powerful packs in North America, he still ran a hospitality business - Orion.He had managed it for over two decades, making it one of his greatest achievements thus far. People even jested that he managed his hospitality business better than he did his home. JHe took the establishment from what it was to its current reputable state by the enablement of the proceeds from the sale of Van Group to Morgan Baxter.He personally oversaw the company's affairs. While he was at the office, someone hastened over to his office. He noticed that the Alpha's secretary was at her desk. It didn't bother him. He just proceeded to knock once as he got to the door, then he walked into the office."Oh! Shit!" he quickly looked away, turning toward the door. "What the hell, Francis! How dare you barge into my office wit
CHAPTER 69: GOALS ALIGNED.TREVOR'S POV."Father! Father!" My voice echoed, as fear gnawed at me. There was blood everywhere, and my mother lay dead on the ground along with two others - a man and a woman. A massive, beastly werewolf advanced toward me. My heart raced, and I was torn with confusion."Do it. Do it. End it!" voices whispered in my head, putting me in a state of confusion, coupled with how much I panicked.I then saw a familiar sword in my hand, and the voices yelled again, "Do it!" The beastly werewolf got closer, then it sprang at me in an attack. In utter fear, I raised the sword in fear, trying to shield myself.Just as it was about to get me, I jerked awake, sitting up."Hey. Hey," a voice said as I felt a touch on my shoulders, startling me. I turned and saw that it was Liana. "It's okay, sir. We're safe," Liana said, looking at me with deep affection and concern in her eyes.'Another nightmare, huh?' I said. Then I gasped and ran the palms of my hands across m
CHAPTER 41: ANOTHER DAY WITH THE ALPHA SUPREME."So Narnia just up and left, without a single word to me?" Alpha Roderick asked, trying to contain his fury.The Alphas met once again at the Alpha Supreme's estate."I'm sure he had some pressing matters to attend to," Khole responded. "Pressing mat
CHAPTER 37: A NEW DAY IN MY LIFE.LIANA'S POV.I woke up quite late the next morning. I lay in bed, smiling, reminiscing on the events of the previous night. I was on edge. I had never been under that much pressure before, and overtaken by so much anxiety. It was a situation I never want to find my
