SILAS'S POV I was gagged and led out of the dungeon in chains like a hardened criminal. It has been over five days since I have seen the sun and it beat me quite hard and almost blinded my eyes for a minute. Not long after, I was moving towards the main square. The big silver axe has already been sharpened and was lying there, in anticipation of my execution. The entire square was silent as I walked through. I could feel that everyone felt pity for me. Many did not seem to believe that I was involved with Alex, but no one had the courage to protest at all.After what seemed like eternity, I stood before the large axe and the executioner. My father was to give a speech, but he has not been there yet, so we had to wait. It was awkward waiting there. I suddenly needed to pee, but it was not as if I could ask for a moment alone to excuse myself and pee. To them, it was only a matter of minutes before I would be killed.I looked around and my eyes scanned the entire crowd to look for Ale
SARA'S POV I woke up on the dirt in a cave. I winced in pain to my throbbing head. I looked around as I seemed a bit fazed.Where am I?I thought. Nowhere looked familiar at all. What the hell happened to me. My head really banged till I heard a familiar voice.“My little princess, it's good to see you awake. Did you miss me?”I turned around and I shook with fear. It is Alex, Silas' uncle. I tried to scream, but my mouth was already gagged. I then remembered how I got here.An hour ago…I was on my bed, rolling back and forth in tears. I had spent the entire morning, begging my father to release Silas, but all was proved abortive.“I have told you, Sara. Nothing will stop me now. A king must honour his word.”“You know he didn't let his uncle escape. He has been loyal to you all these while.”I argued with him.“I'm well aware of that daughter.”He responded.“You are?”I was a bit puzzled. I did not know how to react with this information that father was telling me. “So, why do yo
SILAS'S POV “Where is Alex?”I barked at the wolf that was tasked with guarding Sara. The second one has already been killed.“Will you leave my wolf and face me? You asked for me, her I am.”A voice responded behind me.“Alex.”I said, turning my back to face him.“Have you missed me?”He smiled at me as other wolves kept trooping in.“Where is the Alpha?”Damon barked at him.“He's right behind me in the other secret room. But you will have to pass through us to get to him. Are you willing to do that?”He smirked.“This ends today, Alex. This is between me and you.”I was tired of letting him ruin my life.“You know, I have wondered how you were able to get yourself out of this curse that you got yourself involved in. It turns out that you got stronger than a normal mage. So, you will really have the upper hand if we fight single handedly. So, I brought my friends.”He stretched forth his hands. There were over twenty wolves in that room. I don't care. I will take them all down.“Y
SILAS'S POV The following week turned out to be as quiet as any other week. It was supposed to be the week that Damon and Sara would get married. So, it was unusually quiet over here. I still had no idea who sent that letter to me. I'm sure that I checked all the wolves of Alex and they were all dead. There was no other wolf that left there alive. Father and Sara were the only ones that remained.I would have left the kingdom to trace the scent from where the letter came from, but it was not even an option anymore. Logan put a tight schedule on me to always be around the Alpha that I barely had time to rest and be on my own. The kidnapping of the Alpha King really dealt a large number on the kingdom and there was no way Logan will be taking any risk again.Sara on the other hand was still sulking and Bea was her only comfort at that time. Luna Veronica was just like a figurehead. She had no usefulness even at this time.A few days later, I met another letter in my room. I got angry w
SILAS'S POV I knelt down, staring at the face of my only friend as it was severed clean from his own body and packaged.“What is the meaning of this, Beta Silas?”Levi fired at me angrily.“Who sent this to you?”I asked, trying to maintain my cool.“I asked you a question first.”Levi insisted. I got mad and held him to his throat. The other guards around drew out their weapons, ready to attack me, but Levi raised his hands telling them to keep still.“You need to remember your ranking here, boy.”I insulted Levi.“Now, who sent this package!”I repeated to him.“We never saw his face. He only dropped it and scampered off hurriedly. When I got there, it was addressed to you.”The guard that took the package in responded to me. I dropped Levi down as he panted, trying to catch his breath. Soon enough, Logan was called and everyone that was at the gate that was not a guard was dismissed away.“Beta Silas, see me now!”Logan commanded and walked away to an appreciable distance. I follo
SILAS'S POV The next morning was buzzing with activities. Most of the wolves were confused, while the others were very angry. They did not understand why the Alpha decided to spare Zen. Never had they ever seen a sabertooth mage, neither did they even know what they are.“What is that thing?”“It even killed five guards this morning.”“I thought that that thing was after Beta Silas.”“Why did he kill Finn yesterday too?”“Why have we not gotten our revenge yet?”These were the many unanswered questions that were flying around that day. No one even had the courage to face me and challenge me. I was not even in the mood for that at all. All I was bothered with is the content of what the mage and father were discussing about. Zen looked like he recognised me somehow. He said that he wants to finish the job. But, is he really after me? Is he really her to kill me? How much will he tell father?There was only one way to get my answers. It is to sneak into the dungeon and ask him myself. T
SARA'S POV It's been over two weeks since Damon's passing. I have to get back on my feet. Even though I promised myself that I don't have any sort of feelings for him, he won my heart too late because he is now dead. I will never forget the times he stood by me and also made it possible that I adopted Bea. Bea did not really understand that Damon is gone yet, but she knew that something had happened and she stayed with me throughout the way, not asking too many questions about her soon to be father.Sometimes, I still have dreams and I will see Damon smiling at me and telling me that everything is okay with him. Most times, the words he will be communicating to me will not be so clear. It will be as if he is warning me about something that is to come. I will get confused, seeing his lips moving, but no words coming out. I will wake up with fear and tears and Bea will just hold me while I cried in her arms.Any time I crossed paths with Silas, I will behave as though I do not know him
SILAS'S POV I sat there, motionless as I pondered on Sara's proposal.“Let's elope from here. Let's start a new life. You, me and Bea. We can even take Evans with us. I can see that you are very close to him.”She said with excitement in her voice. I sat up and cleared my throat.“Sara, where's this coming from? I'm quite confused and concerned. Why do you suddenly think that we need to leave Moon Pack kingdom?”I asked her. She kept quiet for a while before speaking.“I see the way my father looks at us. He will never approve of it. We need to think about ourselves for a change.”She insisted.“I understand you, Sara. But this can't work now. Your father's life is still being threatened and he needs to be protected.”I tried explaining to her but she would not hear it.“You have been risking your life for him ever since and you have almost gotten yourself killed. You need to think about what you want. About what we want. You need to do this. We need to do this. I'm ready to leave ev
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
