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
"Alpha Leander." Alpha Leander shut his eyes in pain as he heard his name being called out again. It was the hundredth time he heard his name and it had been barely two hours since the sunset and since he had shifted to his human form."What?" He asked as the old werelioness who had called him knelt before him. He wondered why he kept on asking the question over and over again. It was probably the same news he had been hearing since sunset."Our food and water supply have run dry. Werelions are dying from hunger.""I know.""Since there's no food, werelions have begun to eat each other.""What?!" Alpha Leander's eyes snapped open. He was forced to stand up straight. This was the height of it. "They've been what?" Alpha Leander thought he had heard her wrongly. Perhaps, he had not heard her well."Werelions are eating each other," the old werelioness repeated herself and he dashed out of his throne room."Hunter!" He called out as he got out of the throne room and the burly man appeare
Alpha Janus had a smug smile on his face as Alpha Leander handed the signed contract over to him. "He-he! It's good to see you break," Alpha Janus cackled. "Where is the food you'd be giving to the werelions?" Alpha Leander droned. "Why are you faster than your shadow? Slow down.""I just want food for my people," Alpha Leander stated and Alpha Janus smirked."The day is over already. You all would have to wait till the next day," Alpha Janus laughed maniacally."You said you would give Khron food," Leander snarled. "We never agreed on the time I would give Khron food." Alpha Janus grinned and Leander snarled."You said you would give us food," Leander snarled. "I don't care if we had agreed on a time or not. All I know is that you had agreed on giving us food and the were-creatures of Khron are hungry now and need food to eat. Give us food now.""I said I'd give Khron food tomorrow. You don't have the right to object because I only agreed on giving Khron food. I did not agree wit
"What wedding? Wedding with who?" Helia laughed. "You never told us you had a love interest in Wulfe before you left. Who is it? Why am I asking? I haven't met many werewolves, so I wouldn't know.""Love." Danica turned to Rendall. "Is she crazy?" "Seems like it," Rendall answered and his heart squeezed in pain.‘You are going too far,’ his wolf growled.‘I know,’ he thought to himself. He was in so much sorrow and was trying his best to stop himself from showing it. "What's going on here?" Helia laughed nervously, hoping that it was not what she was thinking."My wedding with Rendall is around the corner." Danica looked up at Rendall and smiled at him and he smiled back at her."Do we now do April fool's day in the wereworld? I thought it was only a human thing, plus I don't think it's April fool's day. The month isn't even April, or is it?" Helia hit her head. "Gosh! I spent a lot of time in that dungeon and I've lost track of time.""It isn't April fool's day, stupid cat!" Danica
"No. I won't.""I'd make you—""I'm not interested. I'd never kill Leander. No matter what," Ariela interrupted Alpha Janus, amusing him. Alpha Janus began to laugh."Laugh all you want but the last thing I'd ever do is to kill Alpha Leander.""He is no longer an Alpha. I made sure of that and just like I had snatched Leander's Alpha title, I can give you a Luna title.""Alpha Leander is still the Alpha of the werelions because we still regard him as our Alpha. No Janus can stop us from seeing Leander as our Alpha.""Have you forgotten the contract he signed? If I am being insulted in any way by any werelion, every werelion would be punished," Alpha Janus threatened."What would you do? Give us food every five days or six or is it seven?" Ariela scoffed. "I'm sick of seeing your face. I want to leave."The warriors present drew out their swords and Alpha Janus gestured for them to stop. "Luna Ariela, you can leave."Ariela sneered at him. The door was opened for her to leave and she l
Rendall sat on his bed and watched Helia with rapt attention as she tidied up his room."I hate you for making our mate do such hard work," Conri said spitefully in his head but he tried to ignore him."Your head is a mess. I don't want to imagine how much messier your room is," his wolf said and Rendall shook his head. He was doing this because he loved Helia. Staying in Khron would have done her no good. The werelions there did too many laborious jobs. In the Alpha's court, on Rendall's watch, she only had to do the cleaning and without her knowledge, Rendall made sure she ate well."You missed a spot," Rendall called out to her hearing, feigning anger. He pointed to the spot under his feet. He raised his feet and placed them on the bed. "Clean it again.""But I've cleaned that place numerous times," Helia pouted."Do you want me to punish you?" Rendall snapped."You can't punish me," Helia smirked."And why can't I?" Rendall frowned."Because you love me too much," Helia beamed. Re
