Location: Werekult“Indeed there is no one better than you when it comes to saving lives. You are an expert in what you do, that's why I want you to manage the affairs of the state because I strongly believe in you." Lucian stated and a proud smile formed on his face.“My Alpha, will you let this old man continue doing what he loves or will you reward him with a responsibility that would take the sleep away from his eyes? Whatever you say your servant will do." Amarok the Grey said in a respectful manner.Lucian thought for some seconds.“Amarok the Grey," he called out his name.“Yes my Alpha." “You will continue to serve as the chief healer. I can't deprive a man what he finds joy in, especially a man who has been this faithful and loyal to the throne like yourself." Lucian said.“Thank you my Lord, may you reign forever," Amarok the Grey prostrated and Lucian let out a soft smile.“I will let you have your former post but I will still reward you. From henceforth you will be know
Location: WerekultTHRONE ROOM“Summon the Dire wolves!" Immediately those words flew out of Lucian's lips faint incomprehensible murmuring noises could be heard from the people seated and when the large doors of the throne room were open wide and Luperca and her Dire wolves brothers walked into the throne room the murmuring noises increased..“My Alpha, may you rule forever." Luperca prostrated before Lucian when she got close to him, same did the rest of her Dire wolves companions. They all got on one knee to pay their respect to their alpha and ruler.“Step forward brave warrior of Werekult," Lucian gestured for Luperca to come to him.Luperca got up from her knelt position and walked up the platform of the throne, drawing even more closer to Lucian.“My Alpha," she greeted him again with a slight bow of the head this time and Lucian let out a warm smile meant for her then he turned his attention to the murmuring noises of the crowd.“Silence!" His words sparked respect and fear
Location: Vamparia “.. like I was saying, we have to keep on moving as a race and the only way forward is by making changes. Many changes needs to be made henceforth," Kleo placed her hands on the back of the officer's shoulder who had been casting lustful eyes at her and he quickly composed himself..“Tell me, what's your name?" She said to him and he swallowed down softly.“Alax, my Queen."“Lord Alax, do tell me what was your position during the blood father reign?" “I was one of the generals in the royal army, my queen." He replied.“I am sure you served the blood father well but I won't be needing your services any longer." She said.“B.. But why, my queen?" He looked shocked.“Do you really want me to answer that question? Perhaps then you will know the gravity of your crimes." She said and he buried his face in shame.“Get him out of my sight." She ordered and two soldiers dragged him away.Everyone immediately put on their best behavior..Location: “Should we wage an all o
Location: GrenaliaKing Stefan turned around to face Madam Pudges. “If truly I am a king and ruler of everything. The savior and protector of man as you said it, how come my only child is not with me? How come my daughter is a prisoner, locked up in chains and I am powerless to do anything to save her? Answer me."Madam Pudges was silent for some seconds. She didn't know what to answer the king with but she knew she had to say something. Keeping the king quiet is a huge offense and she could even lose her life for it.“My king..the werewolves are tough and savage creatures. It won't be easy to conquer them BUT I believe in you cause you have done it once before when those savages thought they could enslave us. It was you who saved us and chased them all away and I believe you can do it once more. The wolves won't have any choice than to hand over our princess to us when you set their kingdom ablaze in the flames of your wrath and power."Madam Pudges' speech was getting the king motiv
10000 years later“Man, I'm so tired. I had to wait in the queue for close to two hours,” A tired looking young lady heaved a tired breath as she stepped into the apartment she cohabitated with her friend. Turning to see her friend look like she ran from here to Wyoming, Alma burst into a profuse laughter. Anna definitely looked like someone who ran a cross country race. Few braids had slipped out of the pony tail she was sporting and her T-shirt looked lopsided. Her face, browner from the rays of the sun. “Why didn't you call Mr Mandel? I'm sure he'd have used his influence to get you out of there real quick,” Alma said and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. Anna rolled her eyes and dropped her bag on the floor before flopping into one of the couches in their small living room and facing the ceiling. Alma was definitely impossible. “Why will I call Mr Mandel? Have you forgotten how strained our relationship is?” Anna's question definitely sounded funny because Alma b
Friday morning, Anna had to wake up as early as six to brew coffee and make breakfast for her and Alma who was probably in her bed snoring. She had to visit the bank to get a loan. Hopefully, if things were on her side, she'd be granted one and then go ahead to start making greatness. She already searched online for medium sized offices in San Francisco in case she was granted a loan. Everything was set. Capital would be the trigger to set off her bullet to its destination. She made coffee and prepared pasta for later in the day when she'd be back and fried eggs to make a toast with bread that morning and stashed it below the sink in a cupboard to keep it warm before hurrying to the only bathroom in the house to take a shower. Minutes later, she was out. She padded carefully across the hallway to her room to avoid a repeat of last week's fall. It had been a bit fatal. Anna had been hurrying to her room when she suddenly slipped and landed on her tailbone. She had screame
Chapter 45For the past one hour, Alma's eyes did not leave the strange man who brought her friend in and took it upon himself to take care of her friend. He was quite a catch. Breathtakingly handsome, tall and lithe-bodied and she wondered how her friend had met the man. That wasn't important the previous hour when the stranger had swerved carelessly into the little parking lot reserved for tenants and opened the cranky door of Anna's car door to reveal a still body. Alma had let out a shriek, causing the strange man to wince like a large horn had been brought close to his ear. Alma didn't notice, all she was worried about was her friend lying unconscious inside the car. Lucian had to calm her down and let him carry her friend up the stairs because this woman was going berserk and he didn't have the time or strength for her craziness. He had assured her that her friend wasn't involved in any accident, that it was only a little problem which had set her off. He didn't tell h
Chapter 46 It was late in the afternoon, almost time for the sun to set and the whole members of The Garoeux pack were assembled at the great hall built by Lucian's grandfather. It was situated at the West wing, a part of the building Lucian inherited. It had been an assembly ground for centuries and they had kept to the venue whenever the whole members were to meet. Prior to the general meeting, Lucian had gathered the members of his cabinet; Casey, Lucian's beta and a brutal one at that. He towered above them all and he was of a sturdy build which made him intimidating. Alex, his late father's right hand man who had been of great help to him. Aliyah, an Iota, the only female Iota to ever exist in history and always sent on espionage due the fact that she was almost human and could disguise as one. The Wolf Hunters never took her seriously because she was perceived as totally useless and more of a handicap. If only they knew how important she was. Felix, Lucian's po
Lucian pulled off the white duvet that had been stained in blood and carried it off to the bathroom. The smell of blood filled his senses and he would have killed her right there I'd his father had not taught him the art of controlling his desire and need for blood. He could still hear her son's from the room and honestly, he wanted to laugh so hard at how petty she was being right now. By the time he returned to the room, Anna had already put on her panties and was standing before her wardrobe, searching for a dress to wear. He walked towards her and put his arms around her, pulling her back so she could lean back against his chest. "I honestly don't know why you're crying like this happened before a whole lot of people. It's just me and you and there's nothing you should be embarrassed over." "Okay." Was all she gave in reply. She pulled away from him and returned to searching for what to wear. "Oh, come on. Is that all you have to say in reply? I know y
"What are you doing here this late, Kevin?" A sleepy lady in an ivory night dress asked, rubbing her eyes. "Didn't you hear the explosion, Maya." Kevin asked weakly. "I felt the vibration. Wasn't that from the presidio of San Francisco?" Kevin shook his head. "It was from my condo." Maya gasped and immediately let him in, hurrying towards her bar to get him a drink. Kevin was so tired from the events of today. He flopped down on the sofa close to the bar so it was easy for Maya to get him a drink and pass it to him. He took the bourbon from her hands and gulped its content, squeezing his face as it burned his throat. "Thank you." Maya sat down on the sofa facing him. She pulled her night dress down her knees and when Kevin noticed what she just did, he raised a brow. "What happened? Tell me everything." Maya inquired. Kevin leaned back on the seat and raised his head to watch the ceiling. "A lot has happened. It's a really long story."
A Tesla model car cruised into a large condo gate that opened automatically. When the car came to a halt, Kevin stepped out, aware of the fact that the house was eerily quiet. He didn't hear the noise from his kids coming from inside the house. He sighed and took out his phone, stepping into the porch and using a voice key to open his door. It beeped but didn't open. Kevin frowned. He used his card instead. It still beeps, showing that it had accepted his card, but still didn't open. That was when he got a notification on his phone. Kevin stepped backwards and turned swiftly. The door to his Tesla opened, sensing his body heat and adrenaline rush. It cruised out of the gate and it had gone no further than the next two buildings before a blasting explosion was heard. He didn't feel the impact bodily, but in his heart, he felt it. He lowered his head and gave thanks to whoever was up there. He needed to get a very large and expensive gift for Maya for going agai
Anna was sick and worried now. She couldn't stop pacing about the living room. Casey and Augustus were worried too, but they were very good at composing themselves. Anna had woken up as early as six and had taken a trip downstairs when she didn't find Lucian in bed or anywhere in the room. Augustus and Casey were fast asleep on the couch, but she hadn't hesitated to wake them both up. They reassured her that he would soon return. Six was a bit early if they decided to book a morning flight. She wasn't satisfied with their answers, but then. Wendy came in an hour later, asking if both of the men had returned. Replies were negative, but she still had hope that they would return before afternoon. Anna had refused to eat breakfast. Any time she got really worried about something, her appetite always flew away into the thin air. Now, it was nearing evening and the whole estate was already aware of the absence of the Alpha and his Beta. Nobody was to leave the estat
"Hello, this is Georgina from Element 14 speaking. Mr Kevin has scheduled a date with you this evening by six pm. He expects you to wear a red velvet dress coupled with silver pumps." Maya was abashed. "Thank you very much, Gina. Relay this message back to him. Tell him that I will be absent. I have important things to do." Georgina, who was staring directly at her boss, bit her lip nervously, but nodded nonetheless."Alright, ma'am. I will return this message to him." Georgina dropped the receiver and cleared her throat. "She says she will be absent. She has important things to do. " Kevin sighed and rubbed his temple. He nodded and walked back to his office. When he got to his office, he kicked a glass vase standing beside the entrance to his office. His boot took the impact and cushioned whatever pain he was to have later. He was really frustrated. Maya was not picking his calls. He had called her several times today (though, it was just five times, it coul
There was a loud bang. Lucian jerked awake. The room was dark and the only light seeping through was from a 2x2 window situated above his head. He was disoriented for just a few seconds before he took note of his surroundings. Immediately, he whipped his head around in search of his friend. Felix was at the other end of the room snoring like he was a human who had drunk a barrel of rum. He was tied to a chair with a really thick jute rope and was unable to move. Even his feet were bound to the iron feet of the chair. Lucian bent forward. "Hey! Felix!" He whispered a scream. Felix didn't budge. He was still unconscious. Lucian decided to wake him using telepathy. He closed his eyes and tried to connect with Felix's mind. It turned out that he couldn't even connect with Felix's mind train. It felt like there was a barrier stopping him from connecting with his friend and when he looked around to find the source of the problem, there was none. Suddenly
Walter could walk on his own without the aid of a wheelchair or crutches. Though there was a limp in his movements, he could do just fine and the regular exercises he participated in helped a great deal. Walter was plotting. As he took power walks down the aisle that had been mounted in his node, his mind worked mach 5. He had never been this determined to bring something down his whole life. Nora would regret leaving him for another man; an enemy that he had sworn to kill. His doctor had left after taking record of his vitals and here he was, exercising his body and getting ready for whatever was to come. "I can see that you're in good shape, Walter. " Walter slowed down to a halt and turned his body towards the entrance of the node where Kevin stood. "Yes, I am." Walter replied, breathing heavily. "Can we talk for a few minutes?" Walter nodded and went over to the railing where his towel hung. He removed it from the hanger, wiped his face and pick
“Yes! I felt it. Look at your skin, olive. Not something Hollywood uses to artificially tan their skin. It's so natural. Your hair tells another story. Not American at all. You're mixed?" Lucian nodded and just as she was about to ask another question, Felix was standing behind her chair, one hand on her head rest and the other, on the arm rest of the seat. He gave the stunned lady a beautiful smile, took her hands and placed a soft kiss on it. "Name's Chase. What's yours, beautiful?" The lady swallowed. Her heart was beating real fast and she was having issues with breathing. "Nao— Naomi Sparks!" She stuck out her hand awkwardly. Felix, still with the seductive expression, smiled at her. "Nice to meet you, Naomi. You're really beautiful, I must say." The lady blushed beetroot red. "Thank you. You're not bad looking either." Felix placed a hand on his chest and closed his eyes in heartfelt gratitude. "Can we switch seats?" Naomi nodded i
Anna woke up feeling energized. Lucian was not on the bed beside her and she guessed that he had already left the estate for whatever meeting he had with the council. The curtains were drawn to let light in and when Anna checked the digital clock sitting on the wooden bedside table beside her, it read twelve twelve. She sat up and threw back the covers, gasping in surprise at how long she had slept. Wendy would have knocked on the door with breakfast in hand and that would have been two or three hours ago. Anna rubbed her forehead and sighed. Self conscious about her appearance, she walked to the mirror standing before Lucian's dress stand. Noticing that she was close to being naked in her bikini from last night, she squealed in horror and threw open his wardrobe in search of something to cover up her body. She did not want Wendy to find her looking like she had been savored last night. Lucian's wardrobe was filled with clothes and she pushed really hard before
