Silver: “I can’t. My sister is here,” I said, turning to show him my sister, but of course he couldn’t see her in the pitch blackness. “I’m with Lord Tyrel,” Damon said. “He’ll keep an eye on her. This is really important.” “Hello, Luna,” a deep voice which I assumed must be Tyrel’s spoke. I stepped back defensively. “I’m not leaving my sister with any of your Lords after what I’ve been through,” I snarled. I didn’t care that this lord Tyrel could hear me. There was no way I would let her near any of the men who had gladly sought my death. Damon sighed and held my hand again. I wanted to slap his hand away, but it was warm and relaxing , a contrast from anything I had witnessed all night. “The reason why Rogu was able to get so many people on his side was because he used magic. Some of my men were infected, but now the black magic is gone, I promise you.” I laughed drily. “You really expect me to believe that?” “It’s the truth. That’s how he was able to get the
Silver’s POV Five Years later: “To our fifth year of harmony!” Bottles clinked and deep voices rang out in cheers as everyone joined in the merriment. The feast was bigger than any other preceding it, and each row and column was filled with human and wolf alike, drinking and laughing, talking and dancing as the joys of merriment engulfed them. It was such a beautiful sight. This was something that had never been done in millennia, but had somehow been achieved during our time. It was a feast we held to celebrate the day the war had officially ended, and even though it was the fifth year, it still felt unreal and made me feel jittery whenever I looked at the sincere faces of everyone having fun. Sometimes it felt like the entire beef between human and wolf never even happened. That felt like such a long time ago, like a dream whose parts I couldn’t clearly remember anymore. The dream could have never become a reality if not for the gods’ interference, that was for sure. Th
Silver's Pov I was searching. Scratch that, I was lost. There in the forest, my eyes darting wherever, I had one goal; to skip training for as long as possible. Training was the most useless thing ever! We could have been inventing new things, traveling the world or discovering new technologies. I read somewhere that in some other human worlds, they could communicate with others far away, but all my people ever concerned themselves with was training. Morning, afternoon, night. Training to defeat werewolves who didn't even exist.No one shared my sentiment though. Each time I shared my thoughts about werewolves being something we created in our heads just so we humans could have an excuse to play with weapons against each other each day, people always shook their heads and reminded me that the only reason I hadn't been attacked by a werewolf was because my father had destroyed their forces several years ago. It didn't help that my father who had died before I was born, was said t
Silver's POV"How do I smell, Mom? Why do you think I met someone?" I asked her, wondering why she looked like all the blood had left her face. "We have to get out of here. Fast!" she responded quickly, pulling me with her. I was now more confused than before, but I followed her to run until we got out of the forest. I didn't want to enrage her any further, plus I didn't want to remain in that cursed forest for a second longer. When we stopped to catch our breath, I asked her again what she meant, but she just gave me a look that showed me she was still mad at me. "What the hell were you thinking? Do you know how dangerous it is out here? You could have been killed!" "I'm sorry, mom. I was just tired of the myths and wanted to check them out myself," I replied, withdrawing into myself when I realized how ridiculous it sounded out loud. "Why do you always doubt everything," she complained in a tired voice. "You're supposed to take over you father's legacy, but how can you do that
There was no way I had heard right. I looked around to see if it was just a joke or a prank they played on new people but when I saw the serious and stern faces of the men in the werewolf council, I knew none of this was a joke. How could I be put to death for simply being human? It was not even like I had asked to be here. Those three men just carried me here against my will. If this had always been the plan, they could have killed me when they had the chance. What was the point of parading me here just to end up killing me? How did I go from running from my people to being sentenced to death in a mystical land in a day? By my far left, I saw the man he ordered to ready the gallows, coming closer with a long rope in his hands. Realizing the gravity of my situation, I fell to the floor just like one of the men had done, and begged. "Please pardon me. I don't want to die!" "You dare question my judgment!" His voice resounded like thunder, making my insides twist. His previously chi
Silver’s POVI was still standing in my underwear under the scrutiny of several man-wolves whose alpha had just rejected me. Never had I been this humiliated. “Then fine. I reject you too. I never even wanted you in the first place!” I screamed to his back and the men gasped. I didn't know if it was because of how close I had come to death or the fact that I knew he might not kill me in order to please his oh so mighty moon goddess, but in that moment, I didn't care about not pissing him off anymore. He could fuck off for all I care. The alpha stoped, but did not turn to me. I could sense his fury all the way from where I stood. I didn't need anyone to tell me the amount of power this man wielded, but I would not take my words back. If he thought he could throw me away like a discarded toy when I didn't even ask to be here, then he was completely wrong. He finally turned back, but he was smiling this time and not fuming at me like I had expected. However, it was a sinister smile, li
Silver:“Your first lesson is to always address the alpha as either Alpha Damon, my lord, or your majesty,” one of the scowling council men said to me. How helpful he was for telling me right after I had figured it out myself. “I don't care where you're from, but as long as you are in our territory, the alpha king remains your leader and you must address him as such.” My lips were pursed, not doing much to conceal my anger as I glared at him. Couldn't any of them have told me straight up before whipping me first? What kind of barbaric people had I found myself around? “Won't you answer your superior?” another councilman said with pure disdain directed at me. “I have heard,” I said sharply. The whip hit my bag again, and because the wounds the previous ones had caused were still fresh on my skin, this one hurt a hundred times worse. “Fuck!” I groaned, rolling all over the hard floor again and wounding myself in the process. I hated them all. Their faces were unperturbed. They enjo
Silver:The two men kept discussing and soon, I found myself lolling to sleep. I wondered how that was possible, as my hands were tied uncomfortably and my body still ached from being whipped. The fact that they still left me kneeling and wouldn't let me sit up or even lie down was very annoying. I grunted each time I woke up, ignoring the constant irritated looks the alpha gave me each time I made that sound. It was freezing, I wanted nothing more than to go home and lie down for three days straight. Now I knew werewolves were real, I wouldn't need to be hypnotized any further to believe. “Will you stop making that stupid noise?” the alpha barked at me, unable to take my grunting any longer. I rolled my eyes and grunted even more loudly. I had never been this uncomfortable in my entire life. “I'm in so much pain, and it's freezing in here. I’m practically naked and my skin tingles with each wave of air. I'm sorry the only way I know how to express my discomfort is by grunting, s
