SILAS'S POV When we reached the highest point of the mountain, he faced the sun and breathed in and out deeply. I was a bit exhausted, but I wouldn't dare show him that I was. It also seemed good to face the warmth of the sun as the winter air blew softly on my skin to subtly give a reminder that winter is coming.“You know.”Father began.“When I was a little older than you, my father took me up to this mountain and did something to me that I will never forget for the rest of my life.”Why is he talking like this? Did Zen tell Zemo that I am his son? What is he message that father is trying to pass along? I only need to be patient to hear him out.“What my father did to me, that is what I am going to do to you.”His expression had changed all of a sudden.“Like you, I was obnoxious and I did not regret my actions. I was entitled and I thought the world revolves around me. That was why I could sleep with the top and most skilled warrior in our clan even though she was supposed to be
SILAS'S POV When I witnessed Zen stab my father, there was an awakened rage that rose from inside of me. Even though Zen held a dagger to me, threatening me, I did not care at all. Everything I have laboured to keep within me for months. The monsters and the darkness just rose. Even though I hated my father, I secretly loved him and I could not imagine someone but me hurting me.I pushed Zen backwards tens of metres away from me with the force as I levitated. The weather changed quickly and the sky turned gray. Lightning flashed as I thundered with a thousand voices.“The creation will end his creator.” I flashed a bolt of lightning to him, but he blocked it. “I will not fear. For fear is the mind killer. I will not fear, for fear is the mind killer. I will not fear, for fear is the mind killer.”I heard him say. I rushed at him and grabbed him by his neck and rose higher and higher. He tried stabbing ne with the knife, but it was not going through at all.“The orb. It's in you.”He
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
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
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 “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 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 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 I was startled to see my twin in the Moon Pack kingdom. Beyond all reason, he should not be here.“Hello, brother. Do you miss me?”Saul repeated.“Oh, no! This is not real. I must be dreaming like before. This must be a bad bad dream.”I said, while holding my head as if trying to come out of an hallucination but I somehow, I know that this is different. This is real.“Oh, I promise you brother. This is not a dream. So, tell me. How have you been?”He asked me.“What are you doing here, Saul? Why did you have to kill these people?”I demanded him.“You know, let me give you a short background story so that maybe you will understand why I did what I did.”He started, even as he held our father hostage. I couldn't move an inch because I know that Saul must have gotten so powerful to be able to take down all these wolves all on his own. I can't trust myself to be able to rescue father before it was too late. I had no other choice than to indulge him.“When I got out of the
SILAS'S POV “Do you want me to tell you a secret, father?”I asked him as I moved closer to him.“Long before you met with Zen, I had already found a solution to my curse. The curse made me stronger and faster. Although I was out of control, but I found my way around it. I got to be better than I was father. And do you know why? It's because one day I was going to face you. And I was going to tell you that you are the reason why I am like this.”I said to him.“I want to ask you a question, son. Where is Saul? Where is your twin? Did he also agree to this madness?”He asked. “That is not your concern now. Your own concern should be how you are going die well.”I responded.Suddenly the door opened and I rushed to father's said and held him by the neck. Before he could move himself, I cautioned him.“There's a pin I'm holding close to your neck. It's called the devil's pin. I'm sure that you have heard of it before, right? Any sudden movement and I am it to your neck. This time, no c
SILAS'S POV “Grisha.”I called out to the chief's guard. He wanted to blatantly ignore me, but I kept on calling his name, irrespective. He got frustrated and turned to me.“Beta Silas, when someone does not respond to you, it clearly means that they want to have nothing to do with you.”He said to me, angrily.“I know that, but J really need to confirm something with you.”I said to him. It was obvious that I was not going to let him rest until I have spoken my mind to him, so he allowed me to talk.“What is it?”He asked me.“For how long was I gone for?”The expression on his face showed that he really think that there was something wrong with him.“What is wrong with you?”He asked me.“Would you believe me if I told you that I have no idea how long I was gone for? Would you believe if I told you that I was probably knocked out for most of my journey home?”I asked him.“I see that you always have the perfect excuse for every situation. You just need to thank the gods that the Al
SARA'S POV “So, what do you want to do? Is he going to be your new heir? Or will you just leave him be?”I asked my father as I closed my eyes. I don't even know what to think anymore.“I really do not know. I am scared.”He responded to me. I obviously did not expect that answer from him.“Well, that's the first.”I commented.“Yea.”My father responded. I shifted my gaze back to him.“I want to ask you a sincere question.”“I’m all ears.”“How long have you known that Silas was your son? And is that the reason why you were hell bent on trying to separate us from the onset?”When I asked the question, he shifted his body to face me too. I want to say that this is the closest time I have ever being intimate with my father. I can feel that he can tell me absolutely anything that I ask of him tonight with very little resistance.“I have never known or had the slightest idea that Silas was my son up until the day we got attacked by that creature. I have always felt like he was like a so
SARA'S POV As I moved closer to the infirmary and I was about to enter the entrance, I was accosted by one of the nurses that worked there. She looked very frantic and apprehensive. “What is it, Jane? I thought I asked you not to leave the Alpha's side for a minute. Why are you here?”I demanded from her. “I'm sorry, my princess, but you said that I should not leave the Alpha unless it is an emergency and I'm afraid this is an emergency.”She replied. I did not wait for her to complete her statement. I just pushed her aside and walked to the room where my father was staying and I could not help but be worried about what I would find there. The last time I left his side, there was almost no change in his condition at all and he had slipped back into coma after muttering Silas' name several times. What if he has given up the ghost? There will be a lot of unanswered questions.When I got to the room, instead of seeing an empty bed or father being covered in sheets, I saw him awake and
SILAS'S POV It felt so refreshing to always have a voice that you can communicate with back and forth. A voice that, although is quite aggressive, but will always have your best interest at heart. I will no longer deal with any form of quietness again. It felt oddly peaceful too. But I will get used to it as soon as possible.I looked around the springs of Zadia. The fountain where I drank from said that I would be hallucinating for days, so if this is real and I'm out of the hallucination phase, this would literally mean that I have spent way longer time than I intended to spend here. I needed to catch up.“Are you ready, wolf? I think I need to give you a name, don't you think?”I asked him.“Whatever you say.”“What kind of name do I give you..?”I was thinking, then I remembered the colour of my wolf. I loved how dark and shinny he was when I met him in the void. I know that I just had to give him a unique name. And I think I have just found the name!“I know what I will give you
SILAS'S POV I stood there, starring at my own image. A reflection of myself.“Wow! It's just like staring in the mirror.”He sneered at me.“What is the meaning of this?”I asked. “You can't simply move on if you have not defeated me. I am your alter ego. You will need to kill me to gain control. But you know what? Your alter ego has all your strengths and lacks all your weaknesses. Strength, the ability not to hold back, lack of empathy and emotions, I have them all. That is what will always make me stronger than you.”He said, drawing out his sword from the thin air, ready to strike me.“Don't be too sure about that, Silas 2.0. I will do anything to get out of here.”I responded, fashioning out my won sword from the thin air, also ready to strike myself. We looked deeply into each other and we ran towards each other to attack. Our blades struck each other and made a vibrating sound that echoed all round the entire void. The battle between selves has begun. The energy from the blad
SARA'S POV I paced to and fro all day in my bedroom. I had left the infirmary, telling the nurse to keep a close guide on my father as I wanted to take a break. I had hardly left his side for more than two hours since the incident. This is day four already and it looks still the same. I hope Silas comes very soon.But that was not the very bane of my restlessness this afternoon. Bea had gone to school for young and royally wolves so I had time all to myself. The reason for my worry was the last statement father has uttered in his sleep yesterday's evening. He mentioned three names; in which two of them are unfamiliar. He mentioned Althea and Saul with Silas. But I knew that I must have heard of Althea before. It sounded like a name that I must have come across before. Where have I heard that name from?It suddenly clicked to me. There is the story of a brave and young warrior and werewolf that was told in our Luna school. The first female celebrated war hero in the Moon Pack kingdom.
SILAS'S POV“You are not the saviour of the world; you are the saviour of the witches. You are the Hannuk.”Agnes laughter echoed around the void, so did the others that were with her too. This was a very uncomfortable situation, but I will find a way.“So, what now?”I asked her.“Now, we are glad that we lured you here. This will give us the full ground to possess your body and you will be just like a puppet to bring salvation to my own tribe.”They began to laugh hysterically again. They just basked in the laughter that I even began to chuckle too. When they were done, I started my own round of laughter too. This made them all quiet and Agnes looked quite confused. She didn't know what game I was playing. Even I did not know what I was doing at that moment. I just needed to stall to find the right hack.“What are you doing?”Agnes asked me.“Well, I'm laughing. Am I not supposed to laugh at the whole joke that is going on all around?”I asked.“What joke?”She asked.“All I know is
