SILAS'S POV"What is this abomination?"Alpha King Zemo asked.The creature could not be described but I have seen it in the pages of a book in the Sages library."It's called a Gulk."I said."It's a creature of magic. Mere steel blades can't destroy it."I said.Some of the men that followed the Alpha to hunt charged at it, but they were thrown away easily by this creature. No matter how many went against it, it always threw them away like paper. Where's Beta Juan where you need him? Two bullies against each other. Isn't that a cliche?"Why is it here?"Zemo asked."I'm sure he's here for you."I replied."Why me?"He asked."Gulks are known to feed on blood. Especially royal bloods. That's what they enjoy. And you are the wolf king, so there's obviously no tastier meat and blood to this Gulk than yours. But don't worry, I am here for you and you will not be harmed. Over my dead body."I said, putting my hands and pushing my father behind me. I will not have anyone hurt him. The onl
SILAS'S POVI was on edge throughout the week when the Alpha whispered those words. As the days rolled by, he did not speak about it at all. He even acted as if he didn't notice anything at all. All was fine and good until one day…The Alpha king was having a summit with other Alphas of the pack and suddenly one of the guards rushed in. As the personal guard of the Alpha King, I stopped him at the door and wanted to turn him back, but father prevented me from doing that."Let him speak. And if he doesn't speak something worth of our time, we will have him publicly flogged and jailed for wasting our time."Father said. Of course, that is where he thrives."My Alpha. I apologise for the rude interruption. But there's a very urgent news that we bring from the dungeon. The prison dungeons"He said.That got my attention immediately. It must be about my old enemy, Alex. And I was right."One of the prisoners has escaped. He was broken out of."He said."What? Who did?"He asked.The guard
SILAS'S POV I sat in the cold and damp cell. The same dungeon where Alex was a few hours ago. I had to act all helpless and weak when I knew different ways to leave that cell with my powers. I had to just stay as I was instructed in other for the Alpha to vindicate me. It was humiliating to even be there for a minute.Amongst my father, the warden and I, no other person knew that this imprisonment was a sham to catch Alex, so I can just imagine things that will be flying around just now.A wolf guard came to my cell and spat at me.“I guess treachery runs in the blood. Not too long ago,your uncle was here. Now, you are here to take his place. You are a disgrace.”He ranted on. He was about to go away when he stopped his tracks and faced me again.“Oh, have you heard the latest news?”He asked.I looked up to him in anger but I did not speak further.“The latest news is that you will be executed before the week runs out.”He jested. I had no idea how the death of someone else can be m
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 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
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
