LUKE’S POVI got up to a dull morning. Everywhere was so foggy I barely saw anything. After I returned from easing myself, I couldn’t find Ghen. When I woke up I also didn’t see him. I assumed he had left to go easy on himself. I immediately loosened the tent. I got ready and sat on a log, waiting for Ghen. I assumed he left to go hunt. After waiting for an hour, I decided to climb the mountain without him.The mountain was so big it had steps around it. I packed up the tent and left.Where could Ghen have gone? I had thought he left to go ease himself but that wasn’t the case. He still hasn’t returned. Perhaps, hunting? No, he wouldn’t hunt in a fog this heavy. I’ll just have to get the potion first. I’ll go search for him later, I thought.It was quite hard to see in the fog but I managed by using the walls by my side. After walking for so long, I sat down to rest. Just when I stood up and was about to leave, I saw a male-like figure approaching me. The unknown male walked like he w
LOGAN’S POVOne after the other, members of the howling dawn pack began to come out of the shadows.“You planned this even before we left the palace, am I right?” I asked as I sat on the ground.“I knew something was off when I got attacked by the shadows. They were just used as pawns to know where we were. Let us go this instant or else…” Killian roared while hitting the silver bars.“Or else what?” A tall figure came out of the shadows. I could sense his dominance around the whole palace.“You’re Sebastian, am I wrong?” I asked while staring at him.“No you’re not entirely, Alpha Logan. I’m Sebastian. Alpha of the howling dawn pack. This trap wasn’t set up for you or any of your comrades. This trap was for anyone who tried to break into the palace. In fact, we had extracted this trap and dumped it. The reason it’s here today is because of the revelation of our wise elder. He saw you in his dream. He saw you causing havoc and taking lives,” Sebastian concluded with a wide grin on his
LOGAN’S POVI majestically walked out of the cage. My hands were covered in my own blood. I had sustained severe burns after touching the melting silver. After walking out of the cage, James had disappeared. We couldn’t find James who was sitting near a corner anymore.“He definitely got scared and ran away, that’s for sure,” Killian said with a slight grin on his face. “What do we do next, Master?”“Do as I do,” I said as I held out my hands to Killian. “May I have your dagger?”“Sure!” He immediately replied as he handed me his dagger.I tore out pieces of cloth from my shirt. I tore the pieces in a straight rope-like form. I then tied them around both my hands in order to restrict the bleeding.“Let’s go!” Gertrude exclaimed.I ran straight into the palace. I leaped into the air and landed with my dagger on the head of a guard. I proceeded to the living room of the palace. I threw my dagger and it hit the forehead of a maiden. I extracted it from her forehead before she got to the
AMBER’S POVI woke up to a very hot day. Gertrude had been crying since he woke up today because of the suffocating heat. The sun was as bright as ever today.“Please don’t cry, little Grandal,” I said while pacing up and down the room, with him in my arms. Grandal was persistent in keeping shut.‘Ding dong,’ it was the doorbell.“Who is it?!” I yelled at the top of my voice. I had to exclaim for my voice to overpower Grandal’s bitter screaming.“Have you forgotten about your friend, Amber?!” Beth responded from behind the door.“You may come in, Beth,” I said while pacing around the room.Beth entered the room and immediately rushed to me.“What’s going on here, Amber? Why’s little Grandal crying so much?” Beth began to tickle little Grandal in order to cheer him up. Instead of Beth’s actions to cheer Grandal up, rather, it made him cry more. He cried and screamed like he had never before.“It might be the hot weather. I think it’s best to wash him. He’ll definitely feel refreshed af
AMBER‘S POV“Mind taking a walk with me?” Alpha Scott asked me.The question came as a surprise because it came out of nowhere.“Uhm…I would love to,” I responded as I got up on my feet. I walked up to Scott. Before leaving, I turned around to Beth.“Beth, please look after Grandal,” I said as I exited the room.Scott took me to the palace garden; which was in the backyard of the palace.“How’s the room you’re currently staying in? Please tell me if there's any problems with it. I’ll instantly have you shifted to her room,” Alpha Scott said, waiting patiently for my answer.“No no. The room is just perfect. I am grateful to you, alpha Scott,” I replied.The wind in the garden was quite different from that in other areas of the palace. Perhaps, it was because of the big trees in the garden. There were also benches in the garden for one to rest and enjoy his view.“Oh, that’s a big relief. Thus is your first time becoming a mother and I wouldn’t want to be the one to deprive you of a pr
LOGAN’S POVIn no time, Killian and I returned to the palace. I heard from Naniel that Ghen and Luke were being hospitalized. It turned out that after Luke passed out from being hit on the head by a rock, Ghen had to carry him all the way here; Ghen who was still feeling hazy from the hypnotizing spell.I took the day off to rest until I’ve regained all the strength I’ve lost.“Gertrude, I was thinking…”“…you were thinking about having a drink but you can’t because the witch doctor had told you to use your hands only when necessary. Am I right?” Gertrude asked.“It’s kinda crazy how you know what I’m about to say,” I said, wearing a wide grin on my face.“What do we do, Logan?!” Gertrude exclaimed angrily. “I was really looking forward to having whiskey after I returned!”“Quit whining. You can survive a day without whiskey,” I said with a serious look on my face.“Why are you looking so gloomy, Logan? Are you also sad you can’t have whiskey? I know how it feels, Logan. It’s very—”“
AMBER’S POV“What are you doing, Amber?” Beth asked as she barged into the room.“B-B-Beth!” I exclaimed in fright as I hid my diary behind me. “W-What are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be busy today? Did you forget anything that you suddenly remembered?”Beth hesitated before she answered. She had noticed that I hid something before in a rush. “What was that?”“What was what? What are you referring to? I do not understand you,” I said, unknowingly making myself look suspicious.“I mean, what was that? The book you hid behind yourself? It looks flashy. May I see?“ Beth asked.“I’m sorry but I can’t show you. It’s personal,” I said as I returned the book into my wardrobe.Just when Beth and I were discussing, we heard a knock on the door of the room. It was Alpha Scott. Alpha Scott had stopped by to drop off Grandal. Grandal was tired from playing so he slept off. I showed my appreciation to the alpha before he left. After Alpha Scott had left, shortly after, Beth also left t
LOGAN’S POVI went into my bathroom to wash my face. I splash water on my face as I gazed at myself in the mirror. I lifted my red colored hair and tied it at the back of my head. I placed my right hand on my right eye that was no more. I felt inside the eye. The flesh and the blood gushing as I moved my fingers inside the eye still felt fresh. Anytime I touch my right eye, I recall what happened between my father and I. How he hit my mother to death and how I stabbed him to death. Those nightmares still haunt me at night. They were more than just nightmares, it felt like a curse.A curse I was burdened with. A curse I had to carry on my shoulders till the rest of my life. When I die, I hope this curse does to me. I’d always hoped I died early and that’s why I’ve seeked a successor that would carry on the Red beast pack. The members of my pack aren’t supposed to suffer because of my curse. They deserve to live in unity even after my death. I untied my silky red hair and let some of it
