The tension in the room earlier had grown too thick for Kamala to stick around. Once Deonna fell asleep, she went back to the guest room to get some rest herself. She had no idea who Alex and Petra were but from the sounds of it, they weren’t good wolves.Then again, who were good wolves around here?But Alex and Petra were so bad that it nearly gave Deonna a heart attack knowing they weren’t dead.Part of her wanted to know what she was up against, and she knew there was one person who would be able to tell her. She wasn’t sure why she suddenly felt compelled to reach out to him and get information from him. But she didn’t want to sit around and wait for something serious to happen and not be prepared.Mateo was sleeping anyways, as was Deonna. Marlon was preoccupied with Deonna. She figured it would be a good time to sneak away for a few and find Bob.She left the room and quietly walked down the hall. She knew Bob’s room was a couple of hallways away; she only knew this because she
“What do you mean you’re leaving for North-Valley?” I asked, staring up at Marlon with dismay written all over my face.He sighed as he adjusts his gold-encrusted armor.“I have to find out at the duke’s castle,” Marlon told me.“It could be dangerous,” I pouted.“Which is why you can’t come,” Marlon said with a chuckle.Prior I had asked him if I could go with him. He basically looked at me and laughed. I just don’t feel comfortable with him going without me. But I knew he wasn’t going to be alone; he was taking some of his guards with him. Some of the guards were still on the side of the Roessler’s. There weren’t many left, but the ones that remained were fairly loyal, surprisingly.“Please be careful,” I begged of him.He came over to the bed and kissed the top of my head.“I’m always careful,” he teased. “Bob will be around if you need anything.”“Speaking of Bob, did you get a weird vibe between him and Kamala the other day?” I asked.He frowned.“Bob has always been weird around
She couldn’t explain what was happening to her wolf. Every time she was near Bob, her wolf would start howling uncontrollably. The unbelievable tug she was feeling was unbearable and she wanted it to stop. She wouldn’t allow for her wolf to be feeling such things for a nobleman’s son. They were racists and they destroyed her entire life. They killed her family and put her on a slave farm.Just because Deonna found it to forgive them and fall in love with one, didn’t mean she needed to forgive them too. She couldn’t get the look of her parent’s out of her mind. The bullet through their heads and their remains splattered across the dirt wooded grounds for the forest.She was too young and ever time she closed her eyes, she could still see them. Even though it wasn’t the Roessler’s who especially killed her family, they were still grouped. She couldn’t forgive their part in their deaths.Bob was no different. She knew the type of wolf Bob was. She wanted no part of that. Then again, he’s
North-Valley was only a couple of Kingdom’s north. If they had taken a carriage, it would have taken them a couple of days to reach the kingdom. However, they traveled in their wolf forms and were able to make it within a couple of hours.Upon reaching the kingdom, Marlon noticed that it was falling apart after the duke’s death. Some of the buildings looked as though they were crumbling to the ground and had been broken into. The paved grounds were broken and gravely to the touch.There were wolves light-furred wolves that were dirty and looked as if they were living on the streets. Marlon wasn’t expecting to see the kingdom in such shambles. However, it didn’t surprise him considering they had no direct leader. The king didn’t typically watch over the kingdoms that had a duke. He must have overlooked the fact that this kingdom had no duke.The castle was unwatched; the guards were nowhere in sight, and it looked as though it was opened and invaded. He could smell Petra everywhere ar
Kamala hated fighting with Deonna; she felt awful for that outburst. She wasn’t even sure where it came from. It’s not like she even wanted to hang around Bob anyways. She had no reason to speak with Bob or be around him other than the fact that her wolf was relentless.But Kamala had already gotten all the information she needed from Bob, and she wasn’t looking to have more conversations with him. But Deonna seemed weirded out at the fact that Kamala spoke to Bob, to begin with.They were staying together at the manor for crying out loud; what did Deonna expect? For Kamala to stay hidden within the manor grounds and not speak to anybody? It was almost impossible for that to happen.She couldn’t stand staying in the guest room any longer. She needed to get out and do something; plus, she was getting hungry. She hadn’t really eaten that much the last few days. She figured there was no harm in going into the kitchen to finding something to eat. It’s not like anyone could really say much
He was stuck; whenever he touched the doorknob it was send an electrical shock through his body. The walls, doors, and windows were enchanted to keep him and his men from going near them. They couldn’t leave the castle. There were no signs of Petra or Alex anywhere, which meant they were doing this from afar.It had to be them.If Marlon had to guess, Alex reached out to Bob to warn him of Petra’s whereabouts so that Marlon would go investigate. They wanted him to get away from Mooncrest and into the castle to trap him. They were going after Deonna.“Bob?” Marlon tried to link his son; he had hoped that just because he was in some kind of shield in the castle, that didn’t mean his link wasn’t going to work.He was relieved when Bob responded.“Father…” Bob said, he sounded a bit hostile, but Marlon didn’t have time for that right now.“We have a problem. I think Petra and Alex are on their way to the manor as we speak. I am trapped in the castle,” Marlon explained.“What do you mean b
“We are going back to the village?” Kamala asked in a gasp; her eyes were large and alert as I explained to her what the plan was.I was wrapping Mateo in his blanket as I spoke to her; I knew she was apprehensive about leaving by the look she was giving me. I was worried about leaving as well, but we didn’t have many more options. Alex and Petra were on their way to the manor and their goal is to get to Mateo and me. I couldn’t take that risk; Marlon didn’t want to take that risk.As much as it pained me to leave, I knew it was the best thing for us.“We have to,” I told her. “We need to protect ourselves.”“But what about everyone else? If Alex and Petra are after us…” Kamala tried to argue, but I shook my head quickly.“They are after Mateo and me. They don’t even know you exist,” I assured her.A small crease appeared above her forehead as she allowed my words to process. I wasn’t meaning to offend her.“Once they know I exist, they will be after me too,” she told me, folding her
This was never anything Bob wanted to do; he never wished to fight his brother. He never thought he would ever have to prepare to fight his brother. The opportunity had come to him at one point, but he chose to not take it and let his brother go without a scratch. His only condition was that Alex didn’t return to the kingdom.But he seemed to have broken that condition and was back with a vengeance. He trapped his own father in a castle with some of the guards and was working with Petra to get Deonna and Mateo.Bob never thought he was going to be the one to defend the dirtballs, but here he was. Preparing to fight his brother to protect a couple of dark-furred wolves. Except now it was even worse because he was starting to have feelings for a dark-furred wolf.He was never the type to have feelings for anyone, let alone a dirtball. But Kamala snuck up on him and he hasn’t been able to get her out of his head since she arrived. The thought of any harm coming to her caused him to feel
