"Why are you following me?" Rendall frowned seeing that his father had left his room and joined him in the garden."Don't you want to know the answer to the question you had asked?" Alpha Janus sat beside him on the bench."I want you to leave," Rendall replied curtly."I'm your father and you're my son. You don't have to be rude to me.""Apologize to Alpha Leander."Alpha Janus laughed. "I don't see that happening."Rendall scoffed and stood from the bench."Don't you want to know what I had gone to Ocean Ville for?" Rendall was stopped in his tracks as he heard the question and he turned to his father. "What did you just say?" "I just asked if you—""You really went to Ocean Ville?" Rendall was flabbergasted. "Why?"Alpha Janus tapped the space on the bench beside him that Rendall had sat on earlier. "Sit.""I'd rather stand. Just tell me all I need to know."Alpha Janus heaved a sigh. "I've always wanted to tell you this a long time ago, but I was waiting for the perfect time to.
Alpha Leander stomped into his throne room, fuming with Helia trailing behind him."Sebastian!" He yelled as he sat on his throne and a lanky young lad rushed into the throne room and knelt before him."When will be the next full moon night?""A month from now," the lad answered."How are our spies doing?""Staying in Wulfe as a spy during the day is hard for a regular werelion because of Nyx's curse. I've been able to find a few lionless werelions but they are not quite experienced. However, news has reached me from them that ever since Alpha Janus' attack, the army of Wulfe has been preparing for a strike back from Khron."Alpha Leander roared on hearing Sebastian's report."But, my Lord, I've also heard that Alpha Janus cares less about his people. The soldiers of werewolves he recruited are being trained specially to protect him and not the grassroots werewolves.""Foolish Alpha," Alpha Leander snorted. "He believes that all were-creatures would be under him soon and is not concer
"Father, let him go," Helia pleaded."What a joke," Alpha Leander snorted. "Father sins. Son pays. Fair enough.""Then I should be killed for being the daughter of the woman that cursed Khron and Wulfe," Helia retorted and Alpha Leander scoffed."The father is evil, but the son isn't. He in fact hates his father for his father's deeds.""And, you believe that is true. The son of that wicked wolf has filled your head with lies. He is here to spy on Khron. Why shouldn't I kill a spy in my kingdom?" Alpha Janus snapped."He saved me from his people while I was at Wulfe. If he had not saved me, I would have died that day. I owe him my life and I won't let you kill him no matter what.""Stop making things too hard," Alpha Leander warned and Helia scoffed. She stood in front of Rendall shielding him from whatever his father had planned to use to attack him."Leave," her father growled but she stood still, staring at him defiantly."Well," Alpha Leander shrugged. "Let's see how long you can
"Your Highness." Montague rushed to stand beside Rendall and before Alpha Janus. "He must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Please, pardon him. He's still half asleep.""Who is half asleep?!" Rendall barked. "Everyone here knows how wrong he is to not bother about the werewolves that are being killed.""You're the people's hope," Montague whispered only to his hearing. "Don't die.""Have mercy upon him, my Lord." Montague knelt. He looked up at Rendall and then to the ground, signaling him to kneel. Rendall stood firm, looking back at his father defiantly. Montague dragged Rendall to the ground, so he joined him in kneeling."Rise," Alpha Janus ordered."Thank you, Great One." Montague stood to his feet but Rendall kept on kneeling. Montague dragged him up till he was on his feet.Laughing nervously, Montague looked up to the Alpha. "He really is half asleep." Rendall stomped out of the throne room."I'd look after him," Montague announced before running after Rendall. "Re
"Outrageous!" Alpha Leander roared from his throne as he heard that the son of his rival who was caught kissing his daughter a few moments ago had escaped."He was with her before I came to this place. She must have performed her spell again," the prison guard who had reported to him earlier said with his eyes on the ground."What will I do with this girl? She is crossing the line." Alpha Leander's hands were clasped on his head as he thought hard."She has crossed the line already," Ulfa stated. "She must be handled well. If she isn't, it will pose much trouble for us in the future."What do you suggest?" Alpha Leander asked."She should be treated with an iron fist. You've always been too gentle with her and that's why she has become defiant. You have to be tough with her.""My daughter is dear to my heart," Alpha Leander confessed with a sad look. "I can't bring myself to treat her harshly. A few hours after I had sent her to the dungeon, I asked her maids to get her something to e
Helia's eyes were glossed with tears as she sat behind bars with her clothes torn. Her skin was torn too as blood stains were all over it.She quickly wiped the tears that were on her face as she saw Ariela heading toward her."What are you doing here? You'd get into trouble if you're seen." Helia's voice was raspy and scratchy."I heard how much you were mistreated and I could not stop myself from rushing here," Ariela said with a concerned look etched on her face."Go. I don't want you to get into trouble because of me," Helia said dryly and Ariela shook her head in disagreement."I'm not leaving until you eat something," Ariela said and she turned to the prison guard. "Open up. I want to go in," Ariela ordered but he ignored her."Are you deaf? Have you forgotten who I am?""You're a nobody now. You're no longer what you used to be. You're no longer the Luna. You should know your place," the prison guard spat. Ariela bared her teeth and before the guard could realize, she drew out
"Alpha Janus. Long time no see."Alpha Janus smirked and closed the door behind him as he got into the room. On the bed was Mr. Wilkinson with the usual blue apparel of patients in a hospital."I'm happy to see you. Don't you feel the same?" Alpha Janus took a seat on the armchair beside his bed and crossed his legs."What do you want?" Mr. Wilkinson droned."Is it bad to visit an old friend?""We're not friends. We were supposed to be partners. You won't be here if you don't have something we would both gain from, so what are you bringing to her table?""You're very smart. That's one of the reasons I like you and also the reason I'm here. I truly have something that would interest you. It's good news actually.""What is it?""Nyx is dead," Alpha Janus smirked and Mr. Wilkinson cackled."Excellent news!""It is truly excellent. We can go on with our initial agreement.""Yes, we can, but it's sad that it won't be soon.""Why wouldn't it?" Alpha Janus asked."I would not be leaving this
Rendall was stopped in his tracks as he got to Alecto's door. The door was opened but Rendall was hesitant to go into the door."My door is wide open. Why don't you come in?" Rendall heard Alecto's voice from inside the house and he took a deep breath."I'm coming in," Rendall announced and with hesitant steps, he got into the house.Alecto sat on his heaps of back and like the first time he had walked into the house, his back faced him."This is the only place you can have peace of mind, right?" Alecto said flatly and Rendall nodded even if Alecto could not see him."You know why I'm here, don't you?" Rendall asked and Alecto chuckled."I know everything, don't I?" Alecto replied and Rendall smiled wryly."I don't want to do it," Rendall continued, "but I need to.""You've made up your mind. Why are you here?""Won't you try to stop me?" "Was that what you had expected of me? Do you want me to persuade you to not do it?"Rendall sighed in frustration. The answer to Alecto's question
