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.
AMBER‘S POVI opened my eyes to a very bright afternoon. I squinted my eyes as I rose up from the bed and headed for the bathroom. I had just woken up from last night's slumber. I would’ve woken up earlier if it wasn’t for Grandal. He cried so much that I didn’t get even one second of sleep last night. He only slept when the sun had just started to rise so I also took the opportunity to get some rest.Just when I returned from the shower, I heard a knock on the door.“Who is it?” I asked with a puzzled look on my face. I wondered who it could’ve been. Though I had a feeling that it was alpha Scott coming to check if the room was to my liking.“It’s me, Beth!” She exclaimed from behind the door.“Oh, Beth. Come in,” I said.Beth came into the room wearing a wide grin on her face. She looked extra active today.“Good morning, Amber!” She greeted me as she ran over to where Grandal laid. “Good morning, Grandal! Isn’t today a lovely day?!”She had just woken up Grandal that kept me up all
LOGAN’S POV I woke up when the sun had just begun to rise. I went into the bathroom to shower and freshen up. After a while, a maiden brought Gertrude’s back. I had asked her to bathe him. Gertrude and I were ready to leave for the Howling dawn pack. The only person delaying me was Killian. He hasn’t arrived. Gertrude and I decided to have a drink. It was when we were about to take a sip from our glass when we heard a knock on the door. “Come in, Killian,” I said. He came into the room with his head bowed. “My apologies, Master. I was busy sharpening my arrows. Once again, my apologies,” Killian pleaded as he got down on one knee. I wore an ugly look on my face. I wasn’t angry at him because he arrived late. I was angry at him for arriving when I was just about to drink my whisky. Well, I wouldn’t want to waste two glasses of whisky like that. I snatched both glasses from the table and chugged them simultaneously. “Why the hell did you drink mine?!” Gertrude cried. “We don’t hav
LUKE’S POVI woke up earlier than usual today. Today was the day Ghen and I was supposed to embark on a mission. Alpha Logan also has to leave for his mission but he hasn’t woken up yet. It was four o’clock in the morning. The weaker was cloudy and cold, like it was about to rain. I took a folded tent and shoved it into my bag. I took a lighter with me as well.I had freshened up quickly even after knowing that it was too early, I alerted Ghen and he also got ready. We prepared properly before leaving the palace.Our journey started after we left the territory of the Red fanged pack. We made sure to pass by the territory of neighboring packs unnoticed in order not to start an unplanned war. Though our coat was pretty tough; it wasn't tough enough to shelter us from the cold of the incoming rain.“Looks like it’s going to rain soon,” Ghen said while gazing at the clouds.“You’re right. We’d better find shelter before it begins,” I said.Ghen and I searched and searched but failed. We fa
