The hunting was very successful. Avril returned with two medium sized hares. They had dinner and slept off on the floor. Avril was grateful she was feeling sleepy, but unfortunately, she had a nightmare. She saw bullets raining down on Alejandro and screamed out. She sat up panting heavily.

“God,” she muttered and palmed her face. Her friends were still sleeping despite her scream. She looked at the still burning fire and moved closer to it. She arranged the wood untill the fire blazed up even more. She stared into the fire while thinking of what was going to become of her life, now that Alejandro was gone. How were they going to locate Arturo when he arrives Italy to take them back to Mexico? Her phone was probably still at the hotel. And she didn't even know where exactly they were. What if Miguel had successfully driven them out of Milan? 

It was not until two hours later that Avril could fall asleep again. This time, she had a nightma

    They were not taken to the empty room they woke up in, but to a new room with sofas and a coffee table. The men untied their hands and left them there. The room had no windows so, there was no way of escape except through the door. And something told Avril that the men did not leave entirely but were standing by the door.She sat down almost immediately, and placed her hands on her chest, right over her heart. It was pounding hard like it wanted to escape her body.“God,” she muttered and bent her head. She placed her hands in her hair and closed her eyes. What had she just seen? Was it truly Dakar? Oh, she wasn't stupid. She knew him well. She knew those eyes well. But what happened to him? He didn't even move a toe when he set eyes on her. What about that woman? Obviously, she wasn't his sister. She was something more. And the way she sat and held his hand had so much authority. Like, she was next to him. Had he gotten married?

    “You want the human girl?” Alpha asked with a look of uncertainty. Was it a mistake? His son hated humans and didn't even like it that they traded them.“I want the human girl,” Prince Dakar stated firmly, his eyes rooted in Avril's figure. She gulped and looked down, something about his cold eyes freaked her out.“Alpha, I am willing to pay a huge fortune for—” the nobleman tried to bargain but Prince Dakar scoffed and cut him shut.“I am taking the woman. If I have to pay three times your amount, I will,” he stated and sat back gently against his seat. The nobleman sighed and shot Avril a greedy look. But he couldn't argue with the Prince, so he went back to his sit and sat down.“It's settled then, the woman is for the Prince. But Dakar, how much are you willing to pay?”“Father, I give ten rubies for her,” he answered and his father smiled.“Goo

    “Wait here. I'm going to get you food,” she added and with a speed that belonged to no human, she dashed out of the room. Avril swallowed a lump in her throat and walked to the bed. She sat down gently and heaved a very deep sigh.“Things are happening too fast,” she muttered to herself. She slipped her hand into her back pocket and pulled out her golden bracelet. It was then she realized that the bracelet could be hundred percent gold. From what she had seen so far, and what Aida said, the pack was very rich. There was no way the prince's bracelet would be fake gold.She lifted the object to face the light shining from the ceiling. It shone as it swayed under her finger.“My island wolf,” she mumbled as the memories of what he had said to her before he clasped it on her wrist, came back to her mind. She kissed it and pocketed it. She felt Alejandro's ring in there too, so she pulled it

    Prince Dakar needed to get to the roof of his castle. He pulled off his animal fur regalia and wore a black dress shirt. He tied his hair in a very messy bun and wore black pants alongside black boots. He grabbed his phone and walked out of his room.“She is beautiful,” Derek, his wolf said in his head. He stopped walking and frowned.“Stop-talking-about-her,” he gritted angrily.“Don't command me... I'll talk about whoever I want,” Derek snapped back. Dakar heaved a deep sigh and rubbed his hand on his forehead. He looked at the lines on that arm, snake-like and black. People had thought they were new tattoes since they were on the same side of his wolf tattoo. No one, not even Camper, his closest knew they caused him pain on a regular. Whenever he thought about her, they burned deep into his body and soul, he would regret ever seeing her face in his head. He lived two years in fear of his own mind. Everything s

    Aida paced around the back of Prince Dakar's castle, partially worried. What they were doing was very illegal, and if they were caught? That could be worse than death. Why did she even agree to doing this in the first place? Avril had told Gia to go and spy on her friends and tell her where they were. Gia had agreed and immediately she left, Avril turned to her and asked to be taken to the prince's castle. Avril had promised to be quick so Aida agreed. She had taken her through his house as quiet as possible and went back to stand outside.“I'm so stupid,” she muttered and slapped herself. The roof was far up, so she couldn't hear a thing. How Avril knew the Prince would be up there, she wondered. Why did she even want to talk with the Prince?“Aida,” she heard her name and gasped as she saw Avril with the cloak in her hands. She was staggering as she walked and almost fell down to the ground if not for Ai

    Camper was very serious, so Avril couldn't laugh. She bit her lower lip and heaved a deep sigh. “Uhm, which girl are you talking about again?” “The dark skinned one, with the body. You know, the shape. Hour glass,” he said and even demonstrated it. “Nana. Her name is Nana,” Avril said. “Nana,” he called dreamingly. “Feels so good on my mouth. Tell me, how does she like her men?” he asked and Avril tapped her index finger on her lips. “She likes bold men. Men with authority and a well built body,” she answered. He moved backwards and spread out his arms. “Do you think I'm well built enough?” “Hmmm... Yeah. You're not like the men I've seen since I came here. But you'll do.” “Would she like me? My body I mean.” “Yes. She definitely would.” “Okay. I'm bold, very bold. And I have enough authority. Also, do you know?” he asked and beckoned on her to move closer with his ha

    Prince Dakar's breathing turned ragged as he clutched the chair for support.“My prince,” Ñiraka called to him as she noticed he wasn't okay. She tried to hold his hand but he pulled it away.“Son, are you okay?” his father asked. He breathed in deeply and opened his eyes.“Yes, father. I am okay,” he answered and sat upright. The pain had gone so he was back to normal.“What is her name?” the king asked aloud. Everyone settled their eyes on the man in the middle of the field again. He reached into his pocket and picked out a paper. He took it towards the light of a fire on a pole and pronounced the first name his eyes fell on among the list of names.“Fiorella,” he said and drummers beat noisily on their drums.“From today henceforth, the human girl will be called Fiorella which is translated as Flower. She shall be treated as one of us because she

    Avril looked left and right the spaces between each building. The houses were built close to each other so the spaces were not too wide. She couldn't hear any voices, and it seemed like they were the only ones outside.“Is the palace always this empty?” she asked her maidens.“Well, it's not empty. Just that no one is walking around this vicinity yet. People only walk when they have to go somewhere, right?” Aida asked.“Yeah. Uhm, can we go towards the prince's castle?” she asked in a low voice. Aida and Gia exchanged puzzled glances.“We can't?” Avril asked.“We can. Only if we are called by him or sent by the Alpha. Only Ñiraka has that liberty to go in and out of his house,” Gia explained.“Which means we can't. Eish!”They walked in silence, looking at the trees and other buildings. Avril saw the dried leaves being blown about and she reme

    “No! No! Give me those!” she screeched and flew at Camper who didn't move an inch. But before she could reach him, she was blasted off into the cage Avril's friends just vacated. Camper hurried over to Prince Dakar.“You came right on time. They've hurt Avril,” Dakar said. Camper looked at the white fog and clenched his teeth.“Verona will help. She's coming. They are coming.”Dakar nodded and took one of the clear crystal balls and lifted it up.“Camper feels emotions more than anyone else can. Which is why he's a playboy, he enjoys the pleasure a hundred times than an average person. And when someone is overexcited, or is hiding something where they've channelled all their protective information... Camper can trace where all those emotions are headed,” Prince Dakar said as Athena began to rise.“Where your treasure is stored, there will your heart be,” Camper recited. “While you were busy flirting and trying to make him take you there on your garden floor, he was looking deep into

    Avril had only just slept for a half an hour when she heard a masculine scream pierce through the serenity of the room. She jerked awake, causing a terrible headache to erupt in her head. The scream continued on. Obviously, that person was in deep agony. She rubbed her weak eyes with her weak fingers and realized this agonized person was right there on the floor in front of her. Then she realized it was Dakar.“Dakar!” she screamed and ran out the bed, only to fall on the bed because of how numb her legs were. She groaned but crawled on foura to where he lay. His scream and cries were terrible. She grabbed his arm but he shoved her off as he continued to twist and contort in pain.Avril burst into tears when she noticed he was bleeding from his nostrils, mouth and ears.“Help, please!” she tried to shout but no way her voice could be heard above his.She crawled back to the bedside, grabbed the pitcher of water and tossed it over him. He stilled immediately and lay unconscious. Avril

    “Gently get the girls to wake up. We're leaving. Pick up everything. Leave no personal belonging behind,” Dakar warned strictly. The two men nodded and darted into their room.“Where's Verona?” Avril asked.“I'm here,” she replied and showed up too. Verona looked agitated and vigilant.“I can't believe I was such a fool to bring you all here,” Dakar said to himself and looked her he could slap his own cheek. The candlelights were enough to show the look of regret on his face. He held Avril's good hand and led her out while Verona also darted inside the room. The others were already frantically moving and packing stuff.In less than ten minutes later, everything had been packed as affirmed by Camper. They then quietly started out without a word or sound from anyone.They got to the throne room which was empty and dark too. Instead of them to go through the main entrance, Prince Dakar turned them to a different direction. He tugged gently on what was like a door and a secret passage ope

    Athena plastered a too wide smile on her face as she smoothly walked towards them like she was gliding and not actually taking steps. Her outfit was all gold, blending too much with the throne room itself. If her visible skin and hair were also gold, she would be invisible in the hall.“Pleased to meet you again, Athena,” Prince Dakar said with courtesy. Athena turned her full attention to him as she stood a few feet away.“Ah, my handsome nephew. You look amazing despite everything you've been through. I guess strength and good looks runs in the family. How is your father?” she asked and cocked her head to the side.“He is doing very well. Sends his kind regards,” Prince Dakar answered. Athena grinned and moved closer to him. A little bit too close. She looked up into his eyes and tucked loose hair behind his ear.“When this is all over, I would love to see his final look,” she said then grinned again.Avril frowned but quickly tucked her face right. What did she mean by ‘his final l

    Prince Dakar got up, then jerked his jacket by the lapels to get it aligned with his body. He took a deep breath, relief flooding in that Avril was not dead. And she was right at the other side about to come over. He heard a feminine gasp like the one had made and made a quick turn to see the person who had come out. But he was disappointed to see the slim, black friend of Avril. Chidi. She wasn't crouched down like he was, but she was standing straight and breathless.“Are you all right?” he asked as she stood rooted to the spot, oblivious to him standing there. After he spoke, she raised her eyes abruptly and saw him. Then she looked back at the innocent look archway.“Congrats. You got out. Come over, let's wait for the others,” he said again and walked a few feet from where he was standing. Chidi followed silently and leaned against a tree with her eyes closed. Dakar was tempted to ask her what she saw, but he didn't want to intrude. Chidi however surprised him.“T saw Avril fall

  • Bride To The Island Wolf    The Porta Metus

    The Porta Metus was situated in a vast region of land that was very mountainous. Solid, smooth rock was the ground and scorpions could be seen tittering around. Flying, giant bee-like creatures swarmed about and scared the living daylights out of the traveling group.The gateway itself was an archway of smooth grey rock that began on the ground but went over to cover the small bridge. There was a deep ditch dividing the rock terrain, and earthy terrain.“We have to be very careful. The Porta Metus is the archway. It doesn't come up this time of year so I'm worried about you all. The Porta Metus brings out your greatest fear. Between you and your greatest fear, only one will make it out. To reach your destination, you must defeat your greatest fear against all odds.”After Prince Dakar's information, everyone stared still at the harmless looking archway of rock.“What if you do not have a greatest fear but just little little fears?” Xiao Wéi asked.“Then I consider that person the luck

    “What in the world are those thing?” Nana yelled amidst the screams. The horses that were at the far end of the cave startled up and began to neigh and thump around.“Stealth wraiths. Half-dead creatures but more dead than alive. Which means you can't see them. They're very rare!” Camper shouted out.“How do you kill what you cannot see?!” Avril shrieked as Camper sliced through the air again and black blood poured out of nothing.“They are as cold as ice. You feel their chill and strike,” Verona answered as she trotted to the entrance to assist Camper. The rest shifted back but didn't lose their guard. The horses were causing a scene on their own and Avril instinctively ran over to calm them down. It didn't work.A cold chill was taking over the entire cave, the entrance had turned into a battle ground. Camper and Verona were fighting invisible, shrieking creatures that seemed to be pushing them backwards and not the other way around. Whatever does things were, they were plenty and t

    They trespassed through the Soot Forest, as Camper had called it, for five hours straight. They only rested at most ten minutes while standing because of the human girls who were not as tire-proof as the wolves. Avril and her girls even surprised Prince Dakar. They didn't tire as easily as other humans.“One more hour and we'll be out,” Camper announced to the group.“I hope there's a place we can sit our butts down?” Nana grumbled.“Well, I see sitting your butt down is very important to you. Seeing you carry a lot over there of course,” Xiao Wéi joked and the girls burst into laughter except Verona who had not smiled since the journey began. As was usual of her.“If we don't sit soon, I'm afraid I'll lose all my assets,” Nana replied. Avril slapped Nana's butt.“Nope, you're still good even if you walk the whole day,” she teased and Nana butt-kicked her. Avril wasn't expecting that move and it pushed her, making her feet unbalanced on the ground. She yelped as she felt herself desc

    Avril laughed loud again and everyone rushing food at the table looked over at them. “Is there a comedy show going on there, Fiorella?” Verona asked grudgingly. “Are there any tickets left? I need a good laugh also,” Nana spoke and Chidi elbowed her. “Don't mind them. Just talk and laugh all you want. You're not bothering us,” Chidi said and glared at Nana who shrugged. She looked away and her eyes caught Camper staring at her friend in amusement. He had his fork twirling in his salad as he stared at Nana. “It's going to be too obvious that you like this girl. Put that face straight,” the new guy ordered with a frown. Everyone at the table frowned except Camper who smirked at him. The way he spoke was so authoritative and haughty. Who was he? Avril's laughter rang up again but nobody looked back at them this time. “Why are you all looking at me like I said something bad?” he questioned. “That's because you sound like a nagging mother. It doesn't suit you,”
