"What did you just say?" Selene asked. She was stunned at what age has heard Rendall mutter.Rendall glanced at her, pointing in the direction he had seen the man."I— I saw my father," Rendall cried out. Selene looked in the direction in which he had pointed."Where?" Rendall looked back and froze. The man was nowhere to be found. It was like he had disappeared into thin air all of a sudden."But I thought I saw him," Rendall muttered with a confused expression on his face."Forget it," Selene hissed. "It must have been an illusion. Seems like you're beginning to miss your father.""Miss my father my foot," Rendall scoffed. "No normal person can ever miss my father. I can never miss that man.""Perhaps, you had seen someone that looked like him.""I guess so," Rendall droned and he looked around to see if he could still see the man."Just forget it," Selene said casually. He looked away and turned back to her."So," Rendall set out to change the topic. "Do you know how I can change
"They've seriously made up?" Brient looked on in shock. Rendall and Helia were hand in hand with each other as they walked into the room Brient and Selene booked."You booked just one room?" Rendall asked and took a sit on the edge of the king-sized bed."Not one room. Two rooms," Selene answered. She was seated mid-way on the bed with Brient. A chess board with chess pieces decorated all over it was between Selene and Brient. "This room belongs to Helia and me while the other belongs to you and Brient.""Oh! But Selene," Rendall looked at Helia, "can't Helia and I share one room? You and Brient can share one room.""Naughty boy," Selene scoffed and Rendall turned to her. "Your relationship with Helia should better be kept innocent."Brient chuckled. "Are you seriously asking a wolf to keep his relationship with his mate innocent? I've you ever heard of an innocent wolf?""Exactly, so Helia will stay with me while you'd stay with him," Selene stated with an air of finality and Rendall
"War?" Rendall and Helia asked in unison."Darn it!" Rendall hit the table hard with his palm. He stood up and began to pace around the room. "I told the old man. War shouldn't be an option. The lives of the low-ranked were-creatures are being threatened.""This is a disaster," Helia said, digging her hands deep into her hair. "How did the war begin?""Both kingdoms had begun a search for their heirs since both of you disappeared. A Few weeks after your departure, a letter from Brient was sent to Alpha Leander, assuring him of the safety of Helia. Alpha Leander's mind was put to rest but there was nobody to reassure Alpha Janus of his heir's safety. Later on, Alpha Janus somehow got to know that the heir of Khron had disappeared too. So, Alpha Janus began a war against Khron. He claimed that the heir of Khron was conjured up by a witch and had bewitched his heir and trapped him.""It's all a facade," Rendall snorted. "He had always wanted to war with Khron." Helia remembered what sh
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
