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
Back in the Moon Pack…SARA'S POVIt's been days since I have seen Silas. And as much as I have told myself that I will not be one that will worry my head about him, I just can't help but be worried for his sake. I know that he has hurt me and he is looking for a way to avoid him, but it doesn't make sense at all that he will leave me in the wind at all.As I walked across the stall, disguised as a commoner, I can't help but have this same nolstagic feeling I have. This is the same place that I met Silas for the very first time. He was sweet and I fell for him with the way he defended the poor little wolf. He was nice and I swear that we had a connection. All was going well until recently after my kidnap.Is he worried or did he blame himself for my kidnap?I kept on asking myself.But the truth is that he really could not have predicted the kind of wolf his uncle truly is.But come to think of it too, how much do I know about Silas? I know very little about how he came to be or where
SARA'S POV"Why do I get the feeling that this is about Silas?"His expression changed and I can no longer recognise my father."I…."I stammered. I did not know what to say."Go on with it."Father encouraged me."I just wanted to know your stand with mother. You don't seem to really love her. Haven't you ever been in love?"I asked him.He breathed deeply and sighed. It's as though I brought back a bad memory to him."Sara, I have once loved. There was a wolf I loved with my entire heart. Sadly, our love was not permitted because it is not the standard of our kingdom to marry wolves that are not nobles. So, we didn't work out."Father said."And you married Luna Veronica. And where is this she wolf you wanted to marry?"I asked, full of inquisition."She's not around anymore."He said, sadly."Really? Where did she go to?"I continued probing but by this time, father has had it already."Enough of the chit chat. There is no need to talk about this. You were here for something, what
Back in the forest of Koda…SILAS' POV"Your first task that you are to do here is to study."Lucien said."Study?"I asked. I have never been asked to study in my life. All I have known how to do is to fight and I was really good at it."What the heck am I studying about? You said that I need to learn how to convert my gift into a curse. And by doing that, I will need to learn how to control the elements. So what do I need studying for?"I asked."You are already a skilled wolf and a skilled mage, Silas. However, you lack one thing. You lack the discipline of character. You will learn that here. And, although I am in charge, Mark will be your supervisor."Lucien announced and left.What the hell is going on?I asked myself."What am I going to do?"Saul called after Lucien."Come along with me, Saul. You need to learn how to fight."He replied as Saul excitedly left with him.What the hell just happened? I'm the one that a freaking bomb has been activated on me, yet I'm the one that
SILAS POV"I need to leave here, Mark."I spoke to the sage after one week."What? Why? You have not completed your task."He said."I have been in this tower for over six weeks. I need to stretch my legs. I have consumed more than a hundred materials too. I'm getting overwhelmed with all this. Let me go."It sounded as though I was begging him."It's okay then. We will have a day of break and we will come back the next day."He said.It wasn't near enough, but I will take it.We left the place and I could appreciate the little rays of sun that was able to filter into the forest. I was already becoming accustomed to this place."Where is Saul at?"I asked."He must be with the mages. The ones that are more interested in combat than the dark arts."Mark replied."I want to see him."I said to him,"I don't think it's a good idea. You need to complete your training."He advised."I need to see him."I stressed further.We left for where Saul was.I saw him having a combat lesson with so
SARA'S POVEver since my discussion with Finn, Silas' closest friend, I decided to not bother myself about Silas again. He will be fine wherever he is. He will find a way to get himself out of this mess. I just hope and pray.One month turned to two months and I have not heard from him. Even Father was now getting worried. He has sent quite a number of wolves to search for him but it was as though he has disappeared. "Logan, you are the chief of the wolf's guard. Where did you say he went to?"I overheard father speak to Logan one time."I'm sorry, my Alpha. He said that he needed some time off. He had some personal matters to settle and I just figured that he will not be off for so long. Please, forgive me."He kept on bowing and apologizing."This is arrant nonsense."Father fumed and went away. If I did not know my father well, I'd think that he really liked Silas. This now proves that he did not banish Silas or do anything bad to him."Silas, wherever you are, please make sure yo
SARA'S POVI walked straight to Luna Veronica's chambers and I entered into her meeting without knocking."Mother, what the hell!"I shouted, impulsively.Luna Veronica was taken aback because she must have never seen me react this way to her before. She adjusted her glasses and said to the other Lunas she was having the meeting with."Can you be so kind to excuse me? We will reschedule this meeting to another appropriate time. It seems like I have a business to attend to."She said with such grace and poise. They bowed down and they left the meeting.Mother waited for the last one f them to leave at an appreciable distance before she poured her wrath upon me."What the heck is wrong with you? Don't you have a sense of character? Haven't I trained you enough to know how to courtesy?"She snapped at me."Luna Veronica, I don't care about what you have taught me before now, but I can't have this anymore."I replied."And what has made you so worked up like this?"She asked, feigning con
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
