Novels by Greg Musyoka

LOGANI am badly wounded. The pursuit after Grace and that traitor Dylan has ended in disaster. I have witnessed as Grog himself died and most of our fighters. Then it has dawned on me that I shouldn't die. I should run. When the fighting gets fierce I flee from the battleground and run, or rather drag myself to the bushes. I can still see from a distance as Grog's fighters are annihilated. I have realized that I have been in the wrong for a very long time. I have done many wrong moves and maybe I am the cause of the death of all these courageous wolves. Maybe if it wasn't for my poor decisions I would still be Alpha at our pack. Why did I take Josephine from her mate? Why did I reject my own mate Grace? And after the rejection, why did I insist on having her back when I knew only too well that she was mated to another Alpha? Why did I even join Grog, knowing that he was a leader of a rogue pack?These are the millions of questions that flood my mind as I lay in pain in the woods. Th

LOGAN “I knew from the very beginning that Dylan was a turncoat. Something kept telling me to kill him, but then I was hesitant." Grog says, seething with rage. He's angry with himself after we have established that Grace and Dylan are missing.I started having bad feelings when we waited for a very long time for Grace and she failed to show up. I started thinking, what if she doesn't come at all? What if she escapes? Right then Amelia came running to where Grog and I were seated, waiting for Grace so that the mating ceremony could start. Seeing her send shivers down my spine.“My goodness, she's gone." I whispered to myself. Amelia looked at me with eyes full of remorse, before whispering something to Grog's ears. The ever composed Grog listened carefully then dismissed Amelia and continued looking forward. I wanted to ask him what was happening when he looked at me and beckoned that I should follow him and now we are in his office. He's uncontrollable.“We need to pursue them, but n

"Take this," Dylan says, handing me the additional blanket from his bag.I shake my head. "No it's alright. This one is enough."Elsa is next to us against the rocky outcrop already fast asleep. She is exhausted, I can tell by the look on her face as she sleeps. She hasn't spoken much our entire journey either. What we have put her through has to be a lot to process. Even though we have saved her from Grog's pack, Dylan and I both know that if they ever catch up with us we will all be dead."You sure?" Dylan asks with his arm still outstretched with the blanket."I'm sure. It's not that cold out here." I shift my blanket over my legs and arms. It is a good thing the weather is not problematic because even if it were any cooler, we can't light a fire. It will draw too much attention to us. There is nothing that sticks out more than a fire blazing in the darkness of the night. Elsa had consumed two apples and a granola bar right before she crashed and Dylan and I each had one granola ba

“I'll give you thirty minutes, even longer if I can and then I'll run out there and tell them you're gone. Put as much time between us and yourselves as possible," Amelia says. "Take care. I hope for a safe journey for all of you."Then she steps up to me and very quickly gives me hug and then releases me. "It's been nice knowing you, Grace.Tell Doreen I miss her and I'm glad she made it." She looks towards the door then back to us. "Now go. There is no time to spare."I don't need any more warning to that. I am more than eager to get out of here. I am the last one through the door and I stop just a moment to glance back at Amelia. I see then that the goodbye has been harder for her than she let us see. Tears are pooled in her eyes."Take care of yourself, Amelia. Thank you for your help. None of this would be possible without you."She laughs a little through stray tears. "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm still ratting you guys out." Because you have to, I want to say. Bu

I gasp and clutch the letter to my chest. It has been so long since I heard his voice in my head and it nearly shatters me. My legs feel like jelly and my chest aches with the gap that was left by him leaving. I haven't allowed myself to think about Samuel very much, afraid of what it might do to me if I let my thoughts linger there too long. I know I would fall apart. But now...now I can't help it. I have to think of him. His letter. His words. His hands have touched the very same paper as mine did. I briefly wonder if I might catch a scent of him on it if I try hard enough to find it."Grace," Dylan says softly.He brings me out of my stupor. I look at him. I haven't realized there are tears in my eyes until he reaches out and touches them with the back of his hand. He briefly wipes them away only for them to be replaced by more cascading down my cheeks."Talk," I say. "You told me you would. I want answers." I wipe the tears away viciously with the letter gripped tight in my hand.

I quickly bolt upright and stand in front of the two men in sheer panic. "But-but it's so soon. I haven't had time to prepare. And I'm not feeling well. Shouldn't we wait? Logan said we could wait until I was feeling better.""Unfortunately we don't have that kind of time," Grog says as Logan stands up in front of me. "We're making a move on a pack in two days and we have to know that you will be loyal to us and your mate during the raid." He looks at Logan who nods his head in agreement.Oh, goodness, I felt myself unable to breathe and light headedness slowly started to creep over me like a nightmare. I can hardly believe what is happening. I need more time. I had counted on having more time. How can I possibly escape now? If I were to mate Logan I won't even want to leave here anymore. I'd want to stay here with him and stand by his side as he and his brothers born of evil bring the world of wolves down on its knees.I suck a sharp breath of air in horror. Nothing and no one can co

ALICIA It's a deep and wide void and it's as if I am floating in it. The expanse of the void is so large, big, infinite. I can't fathom where it starts or where it ends. I am all alone and everywhere I look I see nothing but an endless blue colour. I have been here before. I wonder why I have come back.I try walking around but I don't know which direction to take. East or west? North or south? And where exactly will I be going to? I ask myself endless questions.“Alicia.” A soft yet powerful voice calls from behind me and I turn to look. What I see mesmerizes me. A blinding white light comes from the distance. As it approaches it becomes even more brighter. It's not hot like the sun's rays but it's clearer than it's light. I can't face it with my eyes so I opt to turn away.“You are here once again.” The voice says.“Yes I am. Thanks for the invitation.” I say.“This will be a very brief meeting Alicia. I know you have been through a lot. So much has happened in a few days and I am

ALICIA In the morning I summon Tiffany to my office. It's really sad that she has to come up from the dungeons but I have already asked Drake to release her. I am sure he will listen to me since she isn't a threat to my life any more. Also, she proved her worthiness when she led us to the cabin in the woods and releasing her will be a good way of saying thanks.She comes in dressed in a different dress from the one she was wearing yesterday. She is also smelling nice, evidence that she has bathed and changed. I love how she looks. When I remember the filthy girl she was after Andrew's interrogation, I see big change.“Hey there. You are looking great.” I say as she walks into my office. She takes a seat facing me and I invite her to take some of my coffee.“How is your stay down there?” I ask.“Very nice Luna Alicia.” I can tell that she genuinely admires me now. So interesting how one can change from hating to loving in such a small period.“They have given me a bed and new mattress

ALICIA For a moment I don't understand what they are talking about and I stand before them in a daze.“Take a seat Alicia. The Alpha will tell you everything.” Andrew says as he takes a sip from his glass. Looking at Drake he smiles and gestures that I take the seat. I place the recorder on the table and sit still, waiting for Drake to speak.“Alicia, Andrew told me about your request to talk to Tiffany and I said why not? So we decided to make a scene, make Tiffany think that you were her only saviour. That way she was going to trust you and open up because Andrew's tactics were bearing no fruit. I was so happy when I saw her hiding behind you, running away from the interrogation machine that is your brother Andrew.” Drake finally says and my mouth flies open.“Do you realize how serious this is? You seated here, drinking fine whiskey while I am down there risking my life?” I ask them.“We had no alternative. You were already talking to her. We wanted the disagreement between you an

ALICIA.I decide to go to the dungeon to see what Andrew is doing and find out what Tiffany has said. I would have waited for the report but I am dying of curiosity. I know it's dangerous going there alone but the prisoner is not a threat to me. Andrew must have neutralized her. I find him shouting at her and when he sees me coming he steps aside for a while. I walk into the dimly lit cell and after my eyes get accustomed to the darkness I decide to talk to her.“Listen Tiffany. It's Luna Alicia here. Listen, It's over now. Bernice, your partner in crime is dead. Your comrades, Boniface and others are dead too. Everyone who plotted against me is dead.” I tell Tiffany. We are at the dungeon where John was locked up a few days earlier. Interestingly, she has refused to talk even a single word to Andrew despite being tortured thoroughly.“In this cell, we had locked up a very dangerous assassin, John, who had been sent by Alpha Lazarus to kill me. He failed. He is now dead. All those wh

ALICIA “I don't think it's a good idea Alicia. It may be dangerous for you and I don't want you to risk your life as well as your unborn pups. Just stay back here." Drake says. We are now in the radio room together with Andrew. I knew all along that he didn't want me to accompany him on this mission but I am not giving up. I must face Bernice on a one on one basis. She didn't come to the battlefield, therefore I didn't get the chance back then. But now she isn't going to escape from me. I will not allow Drake to deny me this golden opportunity. I choose to remain silent for a while, as I look for words to answer him.On a huge screen before Andrew there is a green dot that keeps on moving and Andrew has already informed us that the dot represents Gamma Boniface's phone as he walks into the deep woods. Our speculation is that he is going to meet with our enemies, Bernice included, for plans against us.Boniface is a big man, elderly, almost the same age with Alpha Drake's father. He d

ALICIA “Perhaps we got too busy that I forgot to tell you something very important.” I say to Drake in the evening as we watch TV. His head is rested on my lap and I am stroking his hair. There are few gray strands and some times I make jokes about them, telling him that he is now an old man.“What could that be?” He asks, getting up and sitting properly. Huge biceps and triceps show through his tight fitting top. He looks at me seriously and I understand why. We have been through a lot, from a war straight into security threats and now internal sabotage. I know he thinks that what I am going to tell him is something bad.“Very good news. Relax.” I can see him relaxing. He even goes back to his former position.“Drake, I think I am expecting.” I say. He doesn't move an inch. Instead, he changes channels on the TV.“I know.” He says casually.“What?” I ask him, surprised.“As a man, and an Alpha for that matter, there are some things that can not escape my attention. I noticed the cha
