Camper returned to the house and was climbing up the stairs when he sensed smoke coming up. He crossed his hands and sighed. Then he shook his head and walked to Prince Dakar's room.

“Prince,” he called as he stepped into the room. Prince Dakar was seated on the floor beside his bedside table and he was smoking weed.

“When did you start doing this, Dakar? Is this some sort of new habit?” Camper questioned.

“It is a form of medication,” was Dakar's reply.

“Smoking...that literally causes lung cancer is now a form of medication?”

“Give me some space, Camper,” Dakar stated. His head was bowed and he was backing Camper so his best friend had no idea that he was littered with blood from his mouth and which was also on the floor.

“Dakar, why do you hide things from me? I thought we used to he very open with each other. Don't start shutting me away now.”

“I'm sorry. But...this is a battle I have to fight alone.”

Camper exhaled deeply and scratched his head. He shook his head then walked back

  • Bride To The Island Wolf    Ñiraka's Dream

    Ñiraka returned to her quarters, hoping her father would take action as soon as possible. She could not wait to be the official princess of the kingdom. That way, nothing would separate them. It was said that the prince had no destined mate, so she would be the one to be mated to him artificially. Well, it was not the same as natural mating which was performed by their wolf spirits and the creator. They would not feel the strong attachment real mates feel or the natural love that just comes with being mates. But they would be attached permanently and not be able to be separated. Wasn't that enough for her? What else does she want apart from being bounded to the prince and becoming Luna some day. It wasn't like she even liked that prince. He was too much of a narcissist, even more than her. She knew she was rude and proud, but the prince was worse. She was used to being the top person, and keeping up with the prince and acting all humble was tiring for her. But she needed to be that be

    Avril could not see Dakar's face yet, as his head was bowed and reading the contents of the paper.“Did you get telecom fixed?” Avril asked for conversation sake. She did not know what to say to him first so she just decided to ask on how he was communicating with her downstairs.“It's been here for ages,” he answered and sipped his wine, still facing the desk.“Oh. I remember you told me that you guys have technology even before it is released to the human world,” she stated absentmindedly. Dakar on the other side froze, he stood still for a while then smirked and sipped his wine. He turned around with his eyes darkened and peering at her.“I said what?” he asked with that piercing look of his. Avril's mouth parted slightly at how mesmerizing Dakar looked. His chiseled jawline, his lips and nose, his thick eyebrows over his narrow eyes accentuated well with the style of his hair. He looked like a Greek god. The top buttons of his dress shirt were not done, so his chest was showing an

    He entered without asking her anything and started the car. He retracted the roof then he began to move. He drove out of the garage, out of his castle premises and out of the entire palace. Avril was super excited as she kept looking at the interior of the car and outside at the pack too. When the speed of the car became too fast and she saw they were on a desolate road, away from the pack's lively night, Avril looked at him.“Where are we going again?” she asked.“A human city,” he answered. Avril's eyes bulged as she stared at Dakar who was calmly driving, his two arms firmly resting on the steering wheel. The wind was teasing his hair and he looked dashing in that position.“A human city?” she asked, not believing that he was taking her outside of the pack.“Yes,” was his simple reply.“I thought...that the humans in Remus were forbidden to step foot outside of it?”He nodded and placed one hand over his mouth, supporting his face with his thumb which was resting under his chin.

    Finally, after driving through the city for more than twenty minutes, Dakar seemed to reach where he was taking her. It was a much more quiet area though it had a lot of buildings. Dakar parked his car in front of a building along with the other cars parked there. He got out and Avril was going to come out too but the door wouldn't open. She thought she was doing it wrong and wanted to ask him to just help her and open it when the door open up. She looked ahead and saw Dakar standing there with his hand stretched out.“Come on,” he encouraged her to take his hand. The ‘brave’ Avril gulped down nervously then took his hand. He helped her step out of the car and walked her a short distance before pressing the car's control to lock it up. They began to walk towards the brightly lit up building with lots of windows from the first floor upwards. Right over the entrance was a large golden sign in curved and curly writing—Adoro Hotel. The golden sign had tiny silver lights dancing around it.

    “Dakar, your eyes are...” Avril trailed off and looked around to make sure no one was seeing him that way. They were in the human world for crying out loud! Why was he showing his alpha wolfness?She looked back at him nervously and gently placed her hand on his.“Dakar,” she called gently and shook the hand. He blinked repeatedly and snapped out of his daze. His eyes returned to normal and the deep scowl faded off his face.“What is it?” he asked calmly. Avril heaved a deep sigh of relief.“For a second there, you looked like an angry demon from hell,” she answered.“Sorry. Just got some negative energy,” he stated and resumed eating like nothing happened.“Negative energy? How come?”“Don't worry. It's normal. Maybe someone around is trying to do something bad.”“Oh. Er...okay. Just be fine, okay?”Dakar smirked and nodded.They finished their meal and went on to desserts, still the men were still seated over at that place and glancing at them. In fact, more of their men had arrived

    Avril frowned at Dakar as she heard his question.“Now is not the time for questions, sir,” she answered and exhaled deeply. She placed her palm on her forehead and closed her eyes.“God, I can't believe that threat is back,” she muttered to herself as she walked away gently. Dakar stared at her back and felt her fear and anger. And he knew it all revolved around this Alejandro she kept mentioning. Whoever wanted her, wanted her because of him. Or, wanted her for the same reason as they wanted Alejandro. She had said a certain person killed Alejandro because of this particular Luca Aguero. So if they wanted Avril too, were they planning to kill her?He let out a deep, dry laughter and Avril looked back at him with a raised brow.“Is something funny?” she asked, wondering why he was laughing when there was obviously trouble looming. He could sense negative energy and she was sure he knew she was in trouble.“This Luca Aguero wants you dead, doesn't he?” he asked with a deadly smirk. So

    Avril laughed hard that she felt her eyes stinging and begging her to calm down. Still, Camper sat that way and didn't move. Dakar also seemed to have turned into a statue. He was still in that position of leaning towards Avril and his hand was hanging halfway from her face. The way he was staring at his friend, it was like he was expecting this sort of behavior but couldn't believe Camper had to do that now.“How do you keep up with him? You're direct opposites of each other,” she laughed as she said so. Dakar finally stopped being his own statue and exhaled.“I don't know. Maybe it's because we've been together for decades,” he finally spoke and took another strawberry with a fork this time, dipped it in the yoghurt and fed Avril again. She just opened up while looking over at Camper and chewed casually, like this was normal. Dakar's joy knew no bounds that she was not resisting. Her attention was on Camper and she looked amused as he fed her for the fourth time.“Do you think you w

    “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

    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,”
