Silas and Finn arrived the next day. To Silas, it was as though, he had been gone for years, although it was barely just a month. He could see the extra security measures the Alpha had gone to put there. For every one guard that was put in place, the chief guard had replaced with two extra guards. Almost all blind spots have been taken care of. The city now appears impregnable to any form of attacks, kidnapping or assassination. Silas knew that kidnapping the Alpha King would be a dangerous and risky move, but he was willing to do whatever it takes to uncover the truth and find a way to control his curse. One thing that Silas knew was that he wouldn’t be able to single handedly pull off this operation. He would need to entrust his plans to someone. He looked at Finn who had been by his side all this while and considered if he would be able to trust him with his grandest plan of all. Of course, Finn had proven to be a worthy friend to Silas time and again. His loyalty to him was prove
It took a while for Alpha Zemo to take in the information. After what seemed like an eternity of silence, the Alpha King burst out, laughing uncontrollably. When he regained his composure after a while, he looked with a stern face “Sure, you’re my son. If you think you’re the only one in this kingdom with a minute semblance of me that has come to accuse me of being their father, then you’re more delusional than I thought. There will be no form of compensation I will give you because any minute from now, my soldiers will snuff my scent out, barge in and your prank will cost you your life” Zemo swore. Saul who was the only one that revealed his face gave a sly smile. Silas hid in the far corner of the room in the darkness. He wasn’t ready to reveal his identity to his father as his mission was far from complete. Saul looked and spoke softly to Zemo “I’m not here for your trinkets and change you think you have. My mother was Althea; the famous warrior whom you shared moments with you i
As Zemo wakes up in his room in the palace, he takes a moment to gather his thoughts and surroundings. He notices that he's back in his kingdom and the last thing he remembers is being kidnapped by some strange men whom one revealed to him as his son. He tries to get up but his head is pounding, and he feels weak. He figured that his kidnapper must have sneaked him back the same way they came and there was only one way to have made all this possible without raising an alarm; the secret passage. He saw that the sun had already begun to set and he wondered why the whole palace was till calm and didn’t notice his disappearance. The door swung open and Silas, his faithful guard came running to him. He was about to bang the door open and start ordering executions here and there but he got calm when he saw Silas. “Thank goodness you’re okay!” Silas feigned a sigh of relief, and taking a bow. “What’s going on here, Silas? Why are the other guards not searching for their Alpha?” Zemo was q
Days rolled into weeks, and weeks into months. Silas continues to struggle with his inner demons and every full moon was torture to him as the curse becomes more and more unbearable for him. He had his buddy, Finn by his side at all times. Full moon to him meant, excruciating pain as he would be always poisoned and wounded till he’s an inch closer to death so that before the inner beast would morph and attained power at climax, the night would have been over. But it seemed as though the beast itself is learning to adapt to the pain and recover quickly from the poison as time went by. Last month, Finn had to set more traps and fire arrows laced with wolfs bane to make sure beast Silas did not enter within fifty miles close to the kingdom. They were already getting out of ideas as to how to stop him from attacking the kingdom. Neighbouring villages had already started carrying out rumors that howls louder than that of a normal werewolf has been heard and many of the villages have alrea
Silas and Saul stood still, their hands hovering over their weapons. They had been so focused on finding the book that they hadn't noticed the creatures sneaking up on them."We're just passing through," Saul said, his voice steady. "We mean you no harm."The creatures chuckled, and Silas couldn't help but notice the sharp fangs poking out from under their hoods."Passing through, you say? And you think you can harm us?" one of them said, taking a step closer. "And what brings you to these parts? Are you too cocky or you are downright dumb? Haven’t you heard of the legend of Kedo forest? No one gets out"Silas glanced at Saul, unsure of how to proceed. They had come this far, and he wasn't about to let some hooded creatures stop them now."We’re neither arrogant nor stupid. We’re just desperate. We're looking for the saber-toothed mages," Silas said, his voice steady. "We've heard that they may have information about breaking a curse."The creatures exchanged a look, and Silas could s
SILAS'S POV"What the heck are you talking about"I asked, angrily."What do you mean by what the heck am I talking about? Did you not inquire about this sacred forest before embarking on such a dangerous quest? The implication of going into the forest of Koda is that you can never escape here. It's impossible."Lucien stressed."Why is that?"Saul became the calm one amongst the both of us."Will you care to sit down and learn a little bit of our history?"Heracles asked."Well, I don't see any reason we can't do that. You have literally given us no other choice than to sit down here since we are not going anywhere."I replied.I sat down beside Saul as Lucien, the leader of the sabre toothed sages began to relate."More than five centuries ago, during the time of the great chaos, there was a lot of disorder in the supernatural world. Witches and sorcerers were so knowledgeable and corrupt that they misused and abused the forces of nature. They bent the elements to their will and made
SILAS'S POVI looked into Heracles' eyes and I kept thinking that I must find a way to come out of this trap. I must find a way to go back to my mission. But this is not the right time. I still need to learn a lot. And since this is the greatest hub of knowledge in the supernatural world, why don't I just stay here for as long as I can?"You know I was only teasing you, relax old mage."I said, playfully as I broke the ice."What?"Saul asked me, a bit confused."It's best that we stay here, brother."I said to him,"What do you mean? I can't stay here with these strange creatures!"He protested."What is out there for us, anyway? Outside is full of darkness and lost hope. But here, we can learn a lot and even live like the mages. It's not so bad of a lifestyle."I said, convincingly."Whether you like it or not, you are staying here. We are the only ones that can make you come out of here alive and we have not broken our pact with ourselves in centuries, we will not do it for any oth
SILAS'S POV"Wait! I'm not done with you!"I called back bravely and this time he turned to look at me."If you really want me to be committed, you will do this one thing for me, will you?"I said."Young wolf, you are in no position to make requests."Lucien stressed."I know, but you will hear me out still."I insisted."Okay."He replied."What do you have to say?"He asked."I want to know what the witches meant when they said that I am the key to their dominating to the top of the predators. I want to know what is in me."I replied."We already said that you need to forget about it."Lucien said."I know what you said and I may not be a three eyed freak like you sages, but I know that you don't really agree to that decision. That's why you will tell me what it it. I will not relax if I don't know what it is."I said.Lucien took a good look at me and breathed deeply. I was fully persuaded that I won't be able to do anything without knowing what the heck is going on."Okay, young
SILAS'S POV “So, this is the void?”I asked the truth seeker as I stared at the endless space of nothingness around me.“Welcome to the void.”He said to me as he spread out his arms. I still was a bit confused.“What do I do from here?”I asked.“Me? I'm done with my assignment. My assignment was to make this journey easier for you by facing the truth. Now that you have faced the truth, my work is now done. I wish you success in your quest.”He said to me and disappeared quickly before I could even protest.“Great! Now, I'm stuck here.”I said, staring around with no idea of what to do at all. I looked all around trying to look for clues, but everything stayed the same. There was nothing that I saw that was different.“I need to keep going anyway. I need to do something.”I said to myself as I moved on. I just kept walking in the endless void. What am I supposed to be doing here in the first place? I am supposed to find a way to separate every parts of me and find a way to master ho
SARA'S POV “I will never let anything happen to you. Not Silas, not the Luna or anyone else. I'm here for you all the way.”I was saying to my own father as I looked at him. I can't believe that I almost absconded with Silas a few weeks ago because I was upset with him. What if something worse had happened to him when we left? Why if Silas was not there to protect him because I was just selfish and wanted him all to myself?“I'm sorry, father. I'm sorry for trying to run away. I don't know what I was thinking.”I said, crying to him. Now to think of it, how much can I even trust Silas? Is that why he changed his behaviour towards me when he first found out that I'm his sister? Or am I just truly imagining things? Is he really my own half brother? If that is true, it has got to be very sickening and any feelings I have for him my be dropped now.“No! He can't be my brother.”I said, decisively. I have really fallen for him too much to believe that he may actually even be my brother. I
SARA'S POV Silas has been gone for two days and all I could do was stay by father's side. The report of his health was still the same. He was still steadily improving, but he didn't show any signs yet. I barely ate and slept because of how worried I was of my father. Yet, all what the Luna did was to handle all the affairs of the Moon Pack kingdom without letting father's subjects know about his condition. Many of them had no reason to suspect anything because this is not the first time she was acting on the behalf of father, so they saw it as one of those days. The Luna had only visited father once, and just for a few minutes and returned back to her chambers instructing them to inform her if there was a change in situation with him.“You are aware that people handle grief differently, right?”Gaius, the head physician mentioned to me after he must have noticed how upset I must have looked at her. I did not respond to him, but just managed to smile. He has no idea of who my mother i
SILAS'S POV The cooling sensation of water woke me up as it splashed on me violently. I woke up, coughing and gasping for air. I looked around me. I was still at the springs of Zadia. I remembered a few things that happened just before I got knocked out cold. I had just seen my brother, Saul. He had gotten out of the forest of Koda and he deemed it fit to pay me a visit.I looked around me. I was tied up to a stake. I struggled a bit, but the effect of the drug was still there. I was not in my full strength at that time. It still a struggle for me to break free from this rope.“Saul!”I called out after him. I got no response.“Where are you?”I insisted, but there was no response. I tried struggling out of it again, but it was too secure for me.“What the fuck do you want from me?”I cried out, frustrated. I began to hear movements from behind my back. I could not fully look behind me, so I did not see him.“Look brother, we can talk about this. Let's talk about this.”I tried to ta
SILAS'S POV For the first time, my eyes glowed like that of a potential Alpha. My chains had snapped open and I turned to a wolf and howled loudly in the forest. Then, Cole came out and clapped his hands followed by the thousand others that went away to see if I could break open the chains.“You see? Now, was that so hard to do?”Cole asked. I did not let him know that it was the first time that my eyes glowed like that of a potential Alpha. I just walked away from him, saying.“Just stay out of my way. I don't want to every see you around again. I know who I am and I am not what you or any stupid book tell or foresee about me at all.”I said to him. It was like a miracle that I still very much kept my cool and did not make anyone drop dead. It looked a bit disappointing to them, but they had to let go.“Come back to us any time and any day. Defeat the nemesis and come back for your army and destiny.”Cole shouted after me. I was still within the earshot range of a super hearing wolf
SILAS'S POV “Welcome, the chosen one. We have been waiting for you for centuries. Where have you been all these while?”Their leader announced and they all cheered as though I was their god. I looked at them and I noticed that they looked more like fanatics than just regular creatures.“What the fuck are you talking about? And who the fuck are you guys?”I queried him.“My name is Cole and we are the followers of the dark one and we have waited for centuries for you to appear before us.”Their leader introduced and they continued making those irritating chants again that I was bewildered. I thought centaurs are meant to be powerfully intelligent? These ones look so incredibly stupid.“So, if you say that I am that dark one that you are imagining in your minds, why do you have me drugged and tied to a tree? Why am I not free?”I asked Cole.He walked up closer to me as if he wanted to whisper.“We are sorry for the I'll treatment that we gave you. We are only protecting you and also p
SILAS'S POV “Let's bring back our father safely.”Those were Sara's last words before she closed the door to the exit of the secret passage to the outskirts of the Moon pack kingdom. I couldn't just get it off of my mind as I walked down the path. It was not just Sara's words that convinced me, it was her looks. She already knows that I am the son of her father. What does it now mean to us? Does that mean that we are now siblings? Enemies? Why has she not asked me what I want if she knows who I am? I am convinced beyond reasoning that she knows who I am.I brought out the book that shows the map leading to the springs of Zadia. I would need to avoid the main path for hours so that I will not run into the wolves of the Moon pack that Luna Veronica might send my way. J must be very quick, quiet and vigilante. I also just know how to keep my mind to be very less imaginative so as not to mistakenly use my powers to set the forest on fire.As I mentioned fire in my mind, sparks of fire sh
SILAS'S POV I paced around my chambers. It has been over three days that father has been in a comatose state. There has been a slow, but steady improvement in the Alpha's health. The poison was a very lethal one, so it is taking a while for his body to reject it. What will then happen when he wakes up and realises that I have been his son all the while? Will he banish me like he did my mother or will he have me executed?As much as I'm worried about that, I'm also worried about my own self. It has been days since my inner beast was unleashed and the darkness of the orb came out too, I need to find a way to keep it at bay again. I need to find the springs of Zadia again. It's only a few days to winter and I have been kept on a strict surveillance. How will I be able to get out of the kingdom without being stopped or followed? I don't know how to do it at all.The only way I can do that is by taking the secret tunnel in the Alpha's chambers. It was the same one that Saul and I used to
SARA'S POV I stood there, as I watched as Silas left. A few seconds ago, he whispered some things to my ear tat got me puzzled.“I want you to listen to me closely. I do not trust anyone here. Some people would have gotten wind of your father's condition and will try to murder him. But as long as that pendant is around his neck, he will be fine. Do not let anyone remove it from his neck and do not take your eyes away from him. Don't let anyone know about this too. I will be back for you.”After delivering the message to me, he left me. I did not know how to react to what I had just heard. Is anyone trying to kill my father? If yes, why would they want to? I recovered after a few minutes and resumed to sit by my father and watch him all through.“Why don't you take some rest? We have got it from here?”One of the physicians encouraged me, but I will not let that happen. Not on my watch.“I'm okay here. I'll be okay, by watching my father recover.”I responded.“I'm just saying that i
