last update Last Updated: 2024-09-30 23:15:28

Night was at its peak and the moon shone at its fullest. The streets of Cresthowl pack were deserted and void of life as everyone had retreated into their homes for the night. The Winter Ball was over, and they would soon return to their regular lives.

A carriage rode in the silent night, the sound of its rolling wheels being the only sound at that hour.

In the rider’s seat was Nick, yanking the reins of the horse as he rode the carriage.

He was seemingly in a lightened mood as he whistled away his favourite tune.

He rode through a narrow road for a while, before he finally made a turn to a bushy path.

After riding for a while on that path, he was riding the carriage through tall trees and thick shrubs.

The moon had been obstructed by the branches and leaves of trees but Nick didn't seem to care as he knew where he was heading to.

Soon enough, there was a cottage a distance away that came to his view.

He halted the horse about a few meters away from the cottage and jumped off the ride

    “That is impossible! Alpha Clawn cannot be dead!” Ivorie maintained once more as she walked into the hall where Estan and other guards were.Estan turned to face her as she stomped towards him.“Luna, his chambers have been checked, it is true.” Estan informed her.Ivorie shook her head and folded her arms over her chest. “Think about it, Beta. Do you really believe he is dead? He is the SCARRED ALPHA.” She pointed out.Estan sighed and glanced around before gesturing for Ivorie to follow him.They went to a lonely corner and Estan said, “You are right, Luna. I also personally do not want to believe he is dead. I haven't even set my own eyes on his body yet.”Ivorie furrowed her brows, “You haven’t? Why?” She asked.“His men that came with him for the Ball, they were the ones who found him dead and have refused to release his body to us.” He explained.Ivorie nodded her head slowly, “We have to check out his chambers for more information. His sudden death, Jenna’s escape. These all so

    “Maia.” Ivorie repeated outwardly, a soft smile stretching her lips.“Luna?” Estan called and she turned her gaze to him, still smiling warmly.“I'm fine…it's just my wolf.” She said and cleared her throat. She had no need to update the Beta about her wolf. It was a personal matter and it could only be shared with her mate.Grace walked into the room and knocked to indicate her presence.“Forgive me, Luna. It is time for your breakfast.” She said with a bow.Ivorie exhaled. “Alright, I'll be right there. You can go.” She said and Grace bowed before leaving.Ivorie stood up and faced Estan with a serious face. “The Alpha is busy these days. It is up to us to keep the castle in good hands. Please do some investigation on Jenna's escape, I do not want to believe it is linked to Alpha Clawn's demise but we also shouldn't skip that thought.” She said and Estan nodded in understanding.After she left, Estan waited in the room for a while before he left also.…Kiya sat on a rocking chair in

    “Grace, get me that corset.” Ivorie said to Grace, pointing to a small opened drawer across her bedroom.She was seated at the edge of the bed, her mind weary. She was still thinking about Regan. She was also still mortified at how strong he had an effect even with his absence.“Luna,” Grace’s voice jolted her out of her thoughts with a start. The handmaid was pointing the corset at her with a look of worry on her face.“Oh,” she collected the corset and put it on.“Are you okay, Luna?” Grace asked in a tone of concern.Ivorie chuckled, “Why wouldn't I?” She asked as she put on her corset.Grace paused for a while, her mouth opening and closing as she was unsure of what to say.“Forgive me, Luna.” She muttered with a slight bow.Ivorie didn't hear her, however. Her mind had once again wandered off. She was worried about Regan.He was at the border and the borders at these times tended to be dangerous because of raids and ambushes.She could only hope there wasn't one at the eastern b

    Ivorie's eyes parted slowly and she met herself still being dragged by Nick. It took her a while before she gathered herself but when she did, she pushed herself away from him.“Why…didn't you…stop her…” she asked weakly. The fear of being killed, the fear of standing right in front of death just a few minutes ago was taking its toll on her.“Luna, you need help, I have to get you to the infirmary, now.” Nick said while spreading his hands.Ivorie shook her head and wanted to speak when they heard approaching footsteps. In no time, Estan appeared in their midst.“Luna!” Was the first word he blurted when he got to them. “Are you okay? What's going on?” He asked with concern.“She was attacked, someone kidnapped her and was about to take her life.” Nick explained before Ivorie could utter any words. “But I stepped in on time.” He added stiffly.Estan’s eyes darted confusedly between Nick and Ivorie. “Luna, I hope you are…”“I'm fine. The assailant is still somewhere in this castle prem

    “Alpha Johan? As in, Moonbeam pack?” Nick asked, wide eyed in shock. Even his grip on his dagger had weakened due to sheer shock.The cloaked man nodded subtly. Nick suddenly went back to his stern self, tightening his grip on his dagger and aiming it at the man’s throat.“How do I know you're not lying?” He asked in a booming tone.The man, who remained as calm as ever, shrugged. “Because I have a letter from Alpha Johan himself.” He divulged.That again, brought shock upon Nick and his eyes darted around the man’s dark ones.He lowered his dagger and loosened his guard. “What could Alpha Johan possibly want with me?” He asked.“Like I said earlier, he is interested in your doings.” The man said.“What doings?” Nick shot at him.The man raised a brow, “You might be able to fool everyone but not me. I know you were the one who broke the Duchess from the dungeon.” The man said boldly, causing Nick's eyes to dilate.Kiya, who had also been listening to their conversation, stood up abru

    “I believe we all are aware of the reason for this meeting?” Estan asked as he took his seat in the courtroom. The Elders nodded affirmatively.“In case some of them haven’t heard yet, I was attacked and almost killed the previous night.” Ivorie chipped in casually, all attention turned to her. “We are here to discuss ways to prevent trespassers from having easy entry into the castle and endangering our lives.” She added in a serious note.“I thought the Alpha had ordered some of the Pack Watchmen to guard the castle?” One of the elders asked.“Certainly, he did. But apparently, they aren't enough. The attacker last night snuck past them.” Estan said.Silence was brought into the room as everyone seemed to be delving into their own thoughts of solutions.“Alpha Clawn's killer haven't been apprehended. Perhaps we could begin from there as it may be the same culprit that committed that heinous crime that attempted to take the Luna's life.” Another Elder suggested after a long silence.E

    Estan's footsteps echoed on the floor as he paced towards the castle exit. He made his way towards the warriors’ quarters with only one mission in mind – to carry out Regan's order.His Alpha had ordered for all the guards and warriors to be interrogated and the killer be found. That was what he aimed at doing for the day.“Aren't you all out yet?” He asked the first warrior he saw when he got there in a booming tone. He scowled at him because he had mindlinked the warrior to gather the rest of the warriors before his arrival. Now, he was only seeing a few of them outside the quarters.Shuddering, the guard said, “F…forgive me Beta…they'll be out now.” He stuttered.Estan sighed heavily and raked his hand through his hair exasperatedly.In a matter of minutes, the warriors were already lined up orderly in front of Estan. Silence became their instinct as they were standing before their Beta.Estan scanned them all with his sharp eyes before clearing his throat.“I will not beat about t

    “Come on, faster!” Estan bellowed at his horse as he yanked the reins harder. Even though the transport animal was practically at its highest speed, the Beta didn't seem satisfied. He was just too determined to catch Nick before he leave the pack.He hadn't really thought it through. He didn't know what exactly he was going to do once he arrived at the Watchtower and he met Nick. The latter was so good at denying things and changing subjects, what if he denies wanting to leave the pack for ulterior motives?Estan pushed the thought aside, the most important thing was to meet him there first. Forcing him to confess his crimes would settle itself once he arrived there.Soon enough, after much riding, he could see the tall black building that belonged to the Pack Watchmen warriors. The haven of the pack’s law enforcers. It was meant to be the most sacred place, where no crimes should be heard of. But Estan couldn't believe the leadership ended up on the shoulders of his crafty brother.A

    The throne room was filled with a heavy sense of calmness. Regan and Ivorie were seated on their thrones, their demeanor calm and collected. They looked out upon the massive gathering of the pack Elders and Alphas from the allied packs. Decorum reigned amongst them as they had their gazes on the criminals at the center of the throne room.Alpha Johan, Beta Jordan, Nick, and Kiya knelt, their heads lowered in utter shame. They awaited their judgements.“Elder Callen, begin the procession.” Regan instructed in a strong voice.Elder Callen stepped forward and bowed to Regan and Ivorie before clearing his throat."Johan Kanin, Jordan Volkov, Nicholas Jenn, and Kiyalera Sven, you have been found guilty of the following; treachery, multiple murders, massacre of warriors, abduction, and attempted usurpation. These are heinous crimes and according to the law of Cresthowl pack, your punishment will be death."The room fell silent, except for the sound of Kiya suddenly bursting into tears. Whi

    Regan and Blood Grove crashed into the nearby bush, their bodies entwined as they skidded across the dry underbrush. A thick tree was what stopped Regan from rolling.Blood Grove was the first to regain his footing. A sly grin spread across his face as he faced Regan."Alpha Regan, it's such an honor to finally meet you officially," Blood Grove said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.Regan stood up and swatted dust off his body.His eyes narrowed on Blood Grove, his jaw clenched in rage.“I wouldn't say the same for me. You have been a thorn at my side for far too long, assassin. Because of you, many innocent lives were lost, including that of my Beta.” Regan seethed and his hands fisted. His desire to fight burned through his veins."I was simply following orders, Alpha. But I'm sure you cannot understand, since you’re a ruler.” Blood Grove said with hatred.“I’ll kill you, for taking my son!” Regan shot, his eyes flickering red and blue.Blood Grove chuckled, his eyes glinting with a

    The courtroom hummed with several voices. Ivorie sat at the end of the long table, silently watching the Elders engage in heated argument amongst themselves. Although it was not a pleasant thing, it took her mind off the worry of her baby."Luna, we understand that you've been grieving the kidnapping of your baby for days, as expected," one of the Elders said, his voice gentle but firm. "But I believe it is time we received more information concerning our Alpha's betrayal. We need to know what happened, and why Regan would betray the pack in such a way."The rest of the elders nodded in agreement.“And most importantly, why would he want his own newly birthed son kidnapped?” Another Elder added. Everyone went mute, awaiting Ivorie's response.Ivorie's eyes darted nervously around the room. It felt like a heavy weight had been placed upon her with the Elders’ intense attention on her.She knew that she had to tread carefully, to avoid revealing the plan that she and Elder Callen had e

    Ivorie paced to and fro in her chamber, her mind reeling with thoughts of her baby. It had been two days since she had sent Jenna out to find him, and yet there was no update. The thought of that alone made her shiver occasionally.No word from Nick, no message from Jenna. The silence was horrifying, and Ivorie's anxiety was growing by each passing hour.She went to the fireplace, pacing back and forth in front of it with her hands clasped together in a futile attempt to calm her racing thoughts. ‘What if Jenna has betrayed me? What if she has used the opportunity given to her to gain her freedom without the need to help me?’‘What if Nick has harmed my baby? Oh goddess! Please help me!’ Ivorie's heart beat in accordance with thoughts in her mind. She covered her face with her palms, sobbing silently Just as she was starting to lose hope, the door of the room was thrown open. Ivorie raised her head and saw her mother walking in, a look of genuine concern etched on her face. "Ivori

    The streets of Cresthowl had become totally different from what she remembered. She was used to a quiet and deserted night but tonight, the streets were reeking with a lot of people. And not just regular pack members, warriors also. The pack Watchmen and even guards were roaming and patrolling every corner of the pack.It made her wonder what in the name of the Moon goddess happened in the past year.It took her great knowledge of every nook and cranny of the pack streets to evade the warriors. She had grown up in the streets of the pack and she knew it like the back of her hands.Finally, she arrived at a lonely alley, near a very busy market. There were no warriors there.Her eyes were on a particular woman in the market. Black short hair and a skinny build. She was only going about her market scouring but Jenna had other plans for her.When the woman was done in the market, she headed through another alley adjacent to the one Jenna was in. She followed her.She paced after the woma

    The darkness of the dungeon seemed to press in on Jenna from all sides, the cold stone walls and damp air a constant reminder of her captivity. She had been in there for about a year now, if her counting of sunrises through the small gap above her were accurate. One year of captivity in this wretched dungeon. An entire year of living in an unfavourable condition, consuming unhealthy food and breathing pungent air.She had begged the guards multiple times to clean the other corner of the cell where decayed human dung lied for a long time. She had learnt to live with it overtime.She sat in a corner, busy playing with a small stone. In this place, that was about the most interesting thing she could do.But she knew all these conditions she found herself in, were caused by her. She brought it upon herself. She blamed herself for going against the Luna of her pack. Especially when the Alpha himself had never taken a liking in her from the onset. She had made a grave mistake and she was

    “I have given you milk, I bought some cookies for you from the market, risking my own safety. I even tried to sing you a song. But you keep crying!” Kiya wailed as she sat opposite Ashken in a small ramshackle hut.They had decided to remain in Cresthowl pack for the time being. As they believed that Ivorie would do their bidding because her baby's life was at stake.Although with Kiya's experience with Ashken, she feared she’d have to end his life sooner than planned.Kiya's eyes were fixed on the baby, whose loud cries filled the entire hut. Kiya's hands trembled, her veins coursing with rage. She glared at the child intently, her mind racing with many homicidal thoughts.Her killing intent reached its peak when she sprang to her feet. But fortunately, the door of the hut was opened.Her attention moved to Nick as he walked in. Any second later and she would have done something she would regret greatly.“What's all that dreadful noise?” Nick asked with a frown.Kiya walked over to

    “...may not be back anytime soon. And if I don't return at all, please do right by your Luna. She is the perfect woman for you, your life changer. You may not see it, but she has brought a new light into your life. Believe it when your Beta says it. Believe it when your best friend says it.”Regan sighed as he read the last letter he got from Estan. His hands became heavy with great despair, almost clouding his very soul. He dropped the letter on the table before him as his eyes stung with tears.He raised his head, shaking his head and refusing to shed tears.‘Get a damned grip on yourself! You're the Alpha!’ Boris scolded harshly within him.Regan controlled his breath, but it was hard. He had lost his Beta, his friend. Not only Estan, but Brennan also. They both were his friends although he didn't acknowledge one until his death and that guilt was eating him up from within.Rapid footsteps invaded the room he was in and he quickly put on a stoic face, shrouding his sad expression.

    His feet crushed the dried undergrowth of the thick forest in the outskirts of Crescent Moon pack. His feet carried him as fast as they could, but even with the speed, he was still as stealth as ever. It was as though he was running on the air and not on land. He practically appeared like a blur under the dim moonlight.He glanced around frantically multiple times, hoping no one was tailing him. Until he arrived at a particular cave surrounded by thick and tall trees. He looked back once more, making sure he was alone there before walking into the cave.As he entered the small cave, Kiya looked up, worry etched on her face. "Nicholas!” She exclaimed as she sprang up to her feet. “Goddess, I was extremely worried about you," she said in relief, rushing to his side.Nick cracked a smile at the corner of his lips, embracing her. "I'm fine, my love. I just had a close call with Regan's warriors."“Oh goddess, are you okay?” Kiya asked, checking Nick out for any form of wounds.“I'm fine,
