Rendall stomped on the road of Wulfe which led to the Alpha's court. The citizens of Wulfe just stared on in wonder as he strode. None had the guts to say a word to him. Greeting him was hard too. They had not forgotten the last time Rendall was heard of. He had run off with a werelioness after shifting into his wolf form when it wasn't a full moon night.He got to the Alpha's court and guards that were meant to guard the gate made way for him as they all cowered in fear."Alpha Janus," Rendall called out curtly as he stood in front of the Alpha's throne room.With his silver spear in hand, Alpha Janus, who had gotten infuriated, left his throne room in fury to see who had called his name with so much disrespect.Raising his silver spear, Alpha Janus was ready to kill whoever had been disrespectful to him but he was stopped in his tracks after he came out and saw that it was his only son and heir who had called his name rudely."Rendall. My son." Alpha Janus' grip on the silver spear
Helia stared through her window at the starry sky, expecting her mood to be lifted like it always does whenever she stared at it.Her face was wet with tears. She was mourning her mother's death— her mother's undeserved death. Helia sighed. Who would have thought that the woman she had hated all her life was her mother? Who would have thought she would mourn Nyx's death like she was doing? Who would have thought that Nyx was the victim in the whole plot? The person was not Helia.Looking at the starry sky, she still found it hard to believe that it was all true. Perhaps, everything was a weird and scary dream that she would wake from one day. She hoped that the day was soon. She had always seen Luna Ariela as her mother. She treated her like a daughter too and was very good at it. Helia wondered if the love she had received from the woman was fake too.‘What a weird twist of fate,’ Helia thought to herself. The woman she had loved so much was the one she hated so much now and she had
"Where did you go to?" Alpha Janus asked as soon as Rendall walked into his room. Rendall scowled at him."What are you doing in my room?" Rendall barked."You had gone missing and I got worried. Did you go hunting again?""How is it your business? Why are you being creepy?" Rendall frowned at the man relaxing on his bed. Since his arrival in Wulfe, his private space had been invaded.Alpha Janus sighed. "You're my heir. Naturally, I'm concerned about you.""You're just being nosy. I am more than capable of taking care of myself.""I know. With your wolf around whenever you need it, I have fewer things to worry about, but you still have to be careful and shouldn't underestimate the werelions of Khron.""If you had not attacked Khron, we would not have needed to worry about the werelions," Rendall snarled and Alpha Janus looked away."If I had not attacked, they would have.""Do you think their Alpha is as insensible as you are?" Rendall snorted."How dare you?" Alpha Janus snapped. "R
"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
