Writer’s POV
“Mother” Isabella called out to an old whose was still not visible cause her face was cover with a very thick close that one could hardly see her face.
“What brings you here Isa?” She asked unhappily.
“Mother, i need your help. Someone is trying to spoil my plans and…..”
“Do you wanna put us in trouble? How many times have i told you not to visit in daytime?” She queried.
“Mother, I’m always cautious. You don’t have to worry about me” Isabella defended.
“So what do you need this time?”
“I just need a portion to kill her slowly anf painfully” she answered with an evil smirk.
“Isabella you need to be careful or else you’re gonna be caught soon” she cautioned.
“Just give what i ask for. I don’t have time for this advice. Neither do i need your help. So don’t think you’re the only witch alive” she said rudely and snatched the potion off her mom’s hand before walking out.
“You have an evil heart just like your father and it won’t be long for karma to find you. Stop those evil before they consume you” she shout with her weak voice. But loud enough for Isabella to hear.
“And that is if your don’t pay for it again just like you always do” she snorted.
Alpha Nathan’s castle…..
11:15 am
Nathan paced around sadly already lost in his own thought as the Luna walked in and sat down quietly watching him but he was to lost to notice.
“What bothers my son for him not to notice my presence” she asked taking a slow step close to him.
“Oh mother, you’re here. When did you walk in?”
“Long enough to know something is wrong and it’s affecting my son. So do you mind sharing your problems with me? I might know how to help”. She placed her hand on his shoulder and brought him close to herself.
“After my interrogation with Zack. I found out someone is fighting against us but we don’t even know”.
“How do you mean son? You’re getting me confused”.
“Zack doesn’t seem to remember what really happened between him and Vanessa. He kept on saying that he’s innocent and don’t remember abducting Vanessa”.
“This is more serious than i thought”.
“I don’t even know what to do or who to believe caus I’m slowly losing my sanity”.
“Don’t say that. I think he was manipulated by someone” she added.
“This is even the worst part. Manipulated by who? Is there any witch in the pack that we don’t know of?” He added frustratedly.
“They might be, You’ll never know.
They might be hiding somewhere in the pack”.
“What do you suggest i do cause I’m really confused right now. I’m slowly going insane”. He used his hand to brush his hair back making him look so hot.
“Don’t worry, I’m gonna think of a plan by tomorrow. You need to rest cause you look horrible right now with those dark circle under your eyes” she advised before walking out.
Vanessa’s POV
Deborah has been by my side and has refused to go and rest. She looked so tired, making me worry.
“I’m fine Deborah, you need to eat and rest. I can take very good care of myself”.
She brought out something waving it for me to see.
“What’s that?”
“I have my food and I’m not tired so I’m not leaving your side till the Alpha gets back” she answered with finality.
“Why are you here? Ain’t you tired of staying by my side?”
“Cause the Alpha asked me to” was her only reply.
“That’s not what i mean. I know you’re tired but ain’t you complaining. You haven’t left my side since morning and you’re saying it’s the Alpha’s order. Do you wanna kill yourself with stress?”
“I just said that I’m not tired. I can stay here till tomorrow if the Alpha doesn’t return…..”
“But he has return. You need to rest like she said. It’s my turn to stay by her side. You can go, i will call you if i need your help”.
“Thanks Alpha” she said and turns to me. “Don’t try to leave the bed. You’ll be fine by tomorrow” she cautioned before walking out.
There’s this aura and confidence around her. She’s not scared of anyone not even Nathan, she only respects him.
Well that’s none of my business, i need to get out of this bed. I’ve got a lot of things to do. I also need to go to the crescent moon pack.
Nathan flicked his finger across my face, bringing me back to reality.
“Huh?”
“Seems you are lost, I’ve been talking to you but you didn’t hear me”.
“I was just thinking”
“Thinking? What were you thinking about?”
“I need to go back”
“Back to where?”
“The crescent moon pack”.
“Why? What are you going there to do? Don’t you like it here?”
“No, i love it here. Just that there’s something i need to do”.
“And what could that be?”
“I have an unfinished business. There’s something i need to set straight”.
“What made you think you are the right person to do it? You can’t go there. Let them take care of their pack and members” he said with finality. But I’m not ready to back down.
“I’m going and that’s final”.
“He can take care of it. I’ve known him more than you do. He knows what he’s doing You don’t have to worry!!! He screamed. Looks like he was trying to control his anger but it was still visible in his eyes.
“How did you know i was talking about him?”
“Uhm… Th…. at isn’t the problem”.
“Just answer my damn question”
“You need to calm down……”
“Do you know him? I cut him off.
“N… no no i don’t”.
“Are you trying to deny what you just said?”
“Why would i lie to you? I just said that out of anger. I don’t even know him or how he looks like” he defended.
“I’m hungry can you get me something to eat?”
“I will ask the maids to prepare something for you to eat”
Writer’s POV
“I need you to put this in her food. Don’t let anyone see you or else you’re gonna bare the consequences” she warned harshly.
The maid shivers in her spot while collecting the substance from her.
“How i’m i gonna do it without being caught?” She asked with fear.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I got everything covered. One more thing”.
“What is that?”
“You must make sure she eats it without remaining anything. Do you understand?”
“Yes Luna” she bowed a little and ran out heading straight to the kitchen. But just as Isabella said, there was no one in the kitchen.
It took her sometime to finish preparing the food. As soon as she was done, she served all in a plate and was heading to Vanessa’s room when someone bumped into her thereby spilling the food all over the place.
“How dare you?” Isabella came out of her hiding and landed a hot slap on Deborah’s cheek.
She wanted landing another one when someone held her hand in the air.
Unknown to her who tbe person was, she turned while trying to free her hand from the person’s grip.
“That’s enough” it was the Luna who spoke.
“But mother, she threw Vanessa’s food away” she pouted.
“Don’t worry, the maids will make another one for her. You don’t have to worry” She assured Isabella who was already swollen in anger.
“But Vanessa is very hungry. I’m not sure she can wait for another food to be prepared” Isabella defended.
“Don’t worry, i have a food preserved in the warmer. Samantha why don’t you go and get it?” She asked the maid.
“You don’t have to worry, i will get it by myself”.
“No, there are the maids it’s their duty to serve you and not the other way round” Luna protested.
“You don’t have to worry mother. I need to serve Vanessa for today”
“But why?”
“I have offended her and i need her to forgive me”.
“Okay that’s nice it’s not good if you both becomes enemies” the Luna pated her back and left.
Isabella quickly brought out the food and poured the substance before handing it over to Samantha to take it to Vanessa.
“Samantha did as she was told. She got to the Alpha’s bedroom and placed a knock on the door.
“Come in” Nathan’s voice was heard.
She entered while Isabella and Deborah followed suit.
The food was placed on the standing close to bed.
“How are you feeling right now?” Isabella asked.
“She’s getting better” it was Nathan who answered.
Nathan brought the food close to Vanessa and opened it. He dipped the spoon and fetched a little food before bringing it close to her mouth.
But just as Vanessa was about to eat, her eyes met with That of Deborah who signalled her not to eat.
She quickly withdraw her mouth from the spoon.
Isabella’s face fell out of anger.
“Why ain’t you eating?” Nathan asked already confused by her actions
“That’s not what i wanna eat”.
“Okay, what do you wanna eat? Nathan asked again.
“Pudding, i wanna eat pudding?”
She answered trying to make an eye contact with Deborah who wouldn’t even look at her.
“But i thought you loved eating Omelette?” Isabella asked already angered by Vanessa’s actions.
“Deborah, can you make me a pudding. I want it to be exactly like the one you did the other day” Vanessa requested.
“Sure” Deborah answered anf quickly left for the kitchen.
