HANNAH’S POVThe raid had already come to an end. The Rage beast pack had retreated and I was glad. Though they had made a mess of the palace, the mess wasn’t something that was impossible to take care of. Three days ago, that night had turned out to become a dreadful night for the pack and Alpha Logan. It was one problem after the other. Amber ran away from the palace. While in search of her, the palace got attacked. A new question had been on my mind after that night. The question is, why? Almost all the soldiers in the pack had left a few hours ago in search of Amber. I’ve already prayed to the moon goddess that they find her soonest. It was almost sunrise.I entered Amber's room. I moved through the room with my fingers touching whatever I passed. I explored the room like it was my first time in it. I got tired and sat on the bed. I was exhausted from crying for three days. I haven’t had anything to eat or drink for so long and it affected me. I was busy worrying about the well-be
HANNAH’S POV“What are you doing here all alone, Hannah?” Louis asked as she made her way into the kitchen. She noticed that I made a glass of grape juice so she couldn’t contain her excitement.“Are you having this refreshing drink all alone?!” She snatched the glass off the counter and drank it all. Her face immediately became pale.“Is there something wrong?” I asked, knowing what was wrong. The juice had no taste but it wasn’t that bad.“What’s this?!” She screamed as she started to rinse her tongue with the running tap.She cried bitterly as she washed her tongue.“This isn’t coming off,” she cried.I stood there watching the never ending drama of tongue scrubbing. I was also wondering why she was overreacting. The juice wasn’t tasting so bad.“What’s wrong?” I asked with a riddles look on my face.“Are you really asking me that question with such a puzzled look? Haven’t you tasted this atrocity?” She barked.“Atrocity? Such bad words for a juice that only lost its taste. You’re
LUKE’S POV“How did the search go?” Gertrude asked.“It was pointless. As you can see, we didn’t find Amber. I wonder where she is,” I said while stroking my chin in confusion. My soldiers and I decided to rest after searching for a day with the mindset that a pregnant woman in labor must’ve sat behind a tree to rest.To our surprise, we couldn’t find her. It was like she vanished or probably she’s been planning to run away for a long time; she had a destination.“Something’s still unclear to me,” I said as I entered the palace.“And what’s that?” Alpha Logan asked with a straight face.“The fact that we couldn’t find her. What happened to her? Where could she be? These are the types of weathering me,” I said with a disturbed look on my face.Alpha Logan noticed the distress that was laced round my face. It was his family that ran away but from the looks of it, it seemed to bother me more than him. Though we may wear a calm expression on his face, his dead worried about them.“Why are
LUKE’S POV“Don’t these brats know that it’s wrong to disturb someone eating? We will have to teach them proper manners!” I said as I clenched my fist tightly. “Why did you catch the arrow though? Are you trying to play the hero?”Alpha Logan scoffed. “Let me have this Luke. They’re so stupid. They didn’t properly study their opponent before attacking. How foolish of them. I can literally hear them reloading their bow. I can also hear their whispering murmurs!”“Don’t get full of yourself, Master. I can feel their presence,” I said with a wide grin.The expression on Gertrude’s face told me that he didn’t believe me.“Why are you smirking, Gertrude?!” I asked angrily.“Me? No I wasn’t! I just had a little doubt of what you said,” He sa
AMBER’S POVI woke up to a bright morning today. I had already eaten breakfast. The witch doctor had told me that I had slept for two days. I needed such sleep because of the way I partied two days ago. Alpha Scott had made the celebration extra special because of my delivery. He celebrated his victory and for my delivery so I had no choice but to party.“Where is Grandal?” I asked the witch doctor who was about to leave my room.“Oh, Amber! I asked my apprentice to bathe him. I’m pretty sure she’s done by now. Alpha Logan had told me yesterday that he’ll be sending a maiden before sunset to show you to your room. Please be ready before she gets her. Your clothes are in the second drawer to your right,” she said before leaving.“Thank…you…” she left before I appreciated it.I was so lazy that I took a nap.
LOGAN’S POV“There you are!” I called out to Gertrude and Luke. Both of them were sitting on the highest rock in the backyard of the palace, my usual spot.I approached them with an expression of surprise laced round my face. I was surprised that the both of them were talking instead of barking at each other.“What are you two doing here?” I asked with a straight face.“Just discussing, Master,” Luke replied.“Discussing? I didn’t know the both of you could do that. Usually, the only way the both of you get along is by shouting at each other. Isn’t this surprising?” I asked with a slight grin on my face.I took Gertrude’s strings and tied it round my waist as Luke and I walked into the palace.“You’ve received the regular reports from the patrolling guards
LOGAN’S POV“The sacred pot…that protects their palace?” Gertrude asked with a puzzled look on his face.“The sacred pot is a type of pot that places a protection barrier over a palace. That barrier only prevents long range attacks fired into the palace. It also notifies the kingdom when enemies walk into the barrier. The protection barrier only protects the palace from the outside and it’s vulnerable to attacks on the inside,” I concluded.I inhaled and exhaled in order not to break my concentration.“Almighty moon goddess, I’m very sure that your revelations are very correct. But this is too hard for me to believe,” I confessed while wearing a hard scowl on my face.“But where is this sacred pot?!” Gertrude cut in.I glanced at him with rage in my eye. Just my glance alone could paralyze a soldier. My bloodthirsty eyes was what I inherited from my father. This was the reason he was feared during his reign.“Almighty moon goddess, if you could please tell me the culprit, I’ll do what
LOGAN’S POV“Luke!” I called out. “You will visit me later on. I have something to discuss with you.”“I will, Master,” he gestured a bow before leaving the meeting room.I tied Gertrude’s string around my waist before leaving the meeting room.“It’s strange to see Luke acting so formal,” he said while I walked through the hallway. “It’s rather funny, not strange, don’t you think?”I was so lost in my thoughts that I forgot about Gertrude. I hadn’t any idea that Gertrude had been speaking behind me.“Hey! Hey!” He yelled out.I swiftly rushed back to reality. “Yes?”“You’ve been thinking a lot lately, Logan. You need to take it easy on yourself. Thinking won’t bring you anything. Let’s have a drink this evening and talk about all this,” Gertrude said.“I should quit thinking? No I can’t. My job is to protect the kingdom and as it is now, the kingdom will crumble if I don’t think of a way to get us out of this mess. If I don’t think, I’ll become an idiot like you!” I yelled furiously.
