CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX.

In the Phoenix kingdom, a man with seven tails of many colours was pacing around in his courtyard, and just a little bit far off from him were a multitude of guards who had their eyes glued to the ground. They dare not look up to the man.

The man, who was the phoenix king, was waiting for his daughter, who had insisted on going to the werewolf pack for an assignment he could have given to one of his trusted men to carry out, and he feared that his daughter could have been caught and killed by the mysterious wolf's alpha, Jacqueline.

Though the king's expression couldn't be seen even if they wanted to look, since he had himself hidden in the dark.

"Any word from Clyve yet?" He questioned in a calm voice.

The calmness of his voice got his guards taking a step backwards. They preferred him shouting like a maniac rather than being calm. The calmer he was, the more dangerous he was.

"No, my king." One replied and immediately turned into ashes.

The king burned him alive

    CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN.ROSALIE'S POV.I haven't seen more of Jacqueline since yesterday, and I was becoming worried. Though I knew that he was okay, at least, he must be okay since nothing seemed different.Everything was normal, and none of the daily activities in the pack house were left undone.It was in the evening, and I was just done with the last person on my schedule that day. I walked out of the ward and away when I was stopped by Briana.I grumbled, "I thought you were dead or something, for me to have a peaceful day throughout yesterday."She smiled and fixed her short hair behind her ears. "You know, Rosa, you can't ever be free or be peaceful in this castle. Though you know you can go somewhere else to have a peaceful life, the choice is yours.""Alright. I heard you." I replied to her just to get her off my neck and made to walk by her side, but she stopped me. Typical Briana."What?" I dragged the word, silently telling her she was disturbing me."One more thing." She fo

    CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT.ROSALIE'S POV."Rosa!" A loud call pierced into my sleep, and I turned tiredly on my bed, growling."Rosa. Dammit! Wake up!"I wanted to listen to the voice and wake up, but I couldn't. It was like I was trapped, and not when I was having one of the weirdest dreams ever, in which Briana was included."Dammit!"And there was peace from the background, no more trial, and I was stuck in my dream with Briana.She laughed maliciously, "Your little guidance angel gives up on you so easily. What can I say? You're right here, with me."I had to do all the weird things she began to list out for me. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I just knew that when she said 'do', I did.Suddenly, I felt a calm touch on me and the real angel's voice spoke calmly into my ears, "Wake up, it's just a dream."That was more of a command than mere words. I was commanded to wake up, and I did. My eyes flung open to welcome a light-blinding room. It was sudden, and I groaned with my hand

    CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE.ROSALIE'S POV.We were on a secluded field behind the castle, and I don't think anyone would be able to locate us, maybe except Jacqueline. Carl got our scents covered."First thing first as I told you, you have to know that those people are not just ordinary people, they are lords, some, kings, but even with that, you shouldn't bow to them, you're representing a prominent figure too, a luna, this pack's luna, and you must act like one."You will have to carry yourself gracefully. If you want to greet any of them, give the person your hand for a kiss, and form a small smile on your lips with your eyes strictly locked into their eyes, and mind you, avoid getting lost in their eyes."Some of them are chronic womanizers. They charm women with their eyes. So, I'll advise: anytime you want to greet the leaders, make sure you're holding Jacqueline firmly. If you do, their powers won't work on you, but if possible, Jacqueline is not around at that moment. Don't smile whe

    CHAPTER THIRTY.JACQUELINE'S POV.I was sitting on my throne with my eyes glued on my elders as they discussed their fears about my decision to go to the banquet, which was two days away.It was funny how they were worried about me, whereas, I was not at all worried, neither did I feel any sort of fear. I was very brave that I would go there and return.It was not hidden from everyone that the banquet was made for my disposal, but what they found unknown was my real intention for acknowledging the invitation and my strict decision that I would be there."In my personal opinion, I think the alpha should ignore them. Though we know that our alpha is not a weak one, I still think they aren't worth his presence." One of the elders said and the rest began again.Saying I shouldn't go and some said if I insist on going, I should go with all the palace guards."That's a good suggestion." I said to them, and they all smiled foolishly, "But if I go with all the palace guards, then who will gua

    CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE.ROSALIE'S POV.I was not expecting Jack to listen to my words like he did, but all the same, he made everything easier for me. I wouldn't have to stress so much for Jacqueline to cooperate with me if his wolf was that obedient to me."Jack, take me away from here," I said to him, trying to prove to Jacqueline that I could be in control too.I was surprised at how fast he was. He took over Jacqueline's body and took me in his hands before all the way jumping down from the balcony."Woah!" I gasped.He then swung me to his back, where I sat with my hands holding tightly to his grey and black fur, and he dashed into the woods.I had no idea of where he was taking me to, but I bet was enjoying the ride. The way he galloped, jumped over dry leaves and dived between wet leaves, thereby leaving some drops of water on me, got

    CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO.ROSALIE'S POV.I was in a secluded space behind the castle, preparing my herbs, which I had told Carl that I would drink before going to the banquet, which was just tomorrow.I had added all the ingredients for the first round, I was stirring the extracted juice I had poured inside a small kitchen pot, and its shaft was also by my side. I was going to use it for the special drink I would be mixing for Ophelia.I couldn't forget she needed to be punished. The only way she could escape my punishment was if she didn't bother to show up at the banquet, but if she did, then, sorry, I was unable to forgive.The herb had been well cooked, so I carried the pot down from the stove and kept it aside for it to cool down its hotness.I carried the shaft with a bottle of soda and I began to mix Ophelia's portion.Then, some steps p

    CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE.ROSALIE'S POV.I woke up due to a knock resounding on my door. I rose from the bed and stared at the door sleepily, then the knock came again, "Coming." I muttered and the knock stopped coming.I got out of bed picked up a sleeping robe, which I wore, and knotted the rope around my waist, covering my transparent nightgown.I walked towards the door and held the knob, "Who's there?" I questioned, getting ready for the opening."The able beta."I rolled my eyes and opened the door to behold Carl. He was with some women who had thousands of things in their hands with a very weird smile on their lips."Hi, good afternoon." Carl greeted me.I let out a yawn, "Good afternoon, Carl."Others bowed, "Good afternoon, Miss." And I nodded to them.I had been given ti

He didn't glance at the guards.They bowed to him, "Welcome, alpha and you too, Luna. We're here to lead you to the palace's hall where the banquet is taking place."He replied to them with no word, just with his face so serious, like he was tensed, but he was the most relaxed person on earth at that moment.The guards stood there confusingly. They didn't know what to do, whether to just let the alpha be or persuade him before he would join them.They waited, but no word.They would have sworn that Jacqueline was not the alpha if they hadn't seen

    CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO.AUTHOR'S POV.In the wolf's world...The battle with the Phoenix king was over. The Phoenix King and his army lay slain, their flames extinguished, their threat vanquished, and they lay rotten on the floor and were vanishing into thin air. Jacqueline returned to the pack house in victory, leaving Carl and the guards in the territory to clear everywhere.His body was aching, and his mind was acting up. That was why he left the territory to the castle to see Rosalie. He didn't know what he was feeling until he saw the guards he had appointed to watch over Rosalie. Their nervous expressions immediately set him on edge.He narrowed his eyes at them. "What happened? Where is Rosalie?" His voice was sharp, demanding immediate answers.One of the guards swallowed hard before speaking. "She ran off to the human world, Alpha. She… she found out her pups were in danger. She left without waiting for further words."Jacqueline’s heart stopped for a moment before it picked ba

    CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE.AUTHOR'S POV.In the human world...It was the weekend, and Michael, Rosalie's boyfriend, had woken up in the morning and had decided to take the children, Ricardo, Raymond, and Rowland, to the park for some fun. "Who will love to crush the weekend in the park?" He questioned the children cheerfully, and he had everything planned out.He had booked their tickets to enter, write down some fun places to visit, some new games to try, and another ticket for karaoke that would take place in the park at night.He had the day fully packaged with fun."Me!""Me!""Me!" The three children answered him joyfully, jumping gracefully returning his enthusiasm."Then, let's get our butts down there. There's one which just opened by the downtown, we should get there quickly if I step on the acceleration." He joked."Yay! I can't wait!" They chorused and hopped happily.The boys were at their happiest peak, and when Michael was leading them to where his car was parked, they were h

    CHAPTER EIGHTY.ROSALIE'S POV.Briana's words made me halt. I frowned, searching her face for any hidden meaning but found nothing but her mock, "What are you talking about?" I demanded.Briana’s smile widened. "Oh, come now, Rosalie. Don’t tell me you don’t feel it. Something… out of place. Something… wrong. Simple."My heart skipped a beat, but I kept my expression neutral. I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of knowing she had rattled me. I let her words sink in, trying to decipher their meaning. I glanced around the hallway, searching for anything out of the ordinary. But everything seemed normal. The guards were in position, the prisoners were secured, and the pack house was as it should be. Everywhere was as it was.I sighed, 'She must be bluffing.'"You’re wasting your breath," I said, my tone cold. "Whatever game you’re playing, it won’t work."Briana’s eyes gleamed with a wicked twisting brightness. "Aren’t your children in the human world? Or… don’t tell me you don’

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE.ROSALIE'S POV.I was in Jacqueline's room, waiting. The walls of his chamber which had always been so comforting to me, now felt like they were closing in on me. My thoughts were a rollercoaster, rolling all around and running to him. 'Is he safe? Is the pack holding its ground? Should I be panicking? Should I check it out?'A lot just kept running in, and every scenario my mind conjured up only made the intestines in my stomach tighten.I tried to sit, to calm myself down at least, and I did, but the moment I sat down and stopped moving, my chest felt like it was being trampled under the weight of my worry.I jolted back up.''He’s out there, facing… who knows what," I muttered to myself, running my fingers through my hair. Rose began to growl at me. *Stay calm. Sit down, I'm trying to rest.*But how could I? How could I sit here, useless, when Jacqueline is out there and might need me?*Just calm down, he will be here in a bit.*Most times, Rose behaved like

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT.AUTHOR'S POV.Jacqueline and Carl resumed their walk.Carl's mind ran back to the mysterious messenger, and his mind began to race at his words. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Jacqueline? Why would someone capable of causing such chaos on the pack just deliver a message and leave?" Carl mused aloud.Jacqueline’s expression was unreadable, his thoughts carefully guarded. He was just thinking about it too. "It’s not just the message. It’s the power they wield. That sound… it wasn’t meant to warn. It was meant to cripple us. Whoever they are, they wanted us vulnerable or better still, destroyed."Before Carl could respond, Jacqueline stiffened, his senses sharpening as a new presence came into his awareness. "Sh!" He cautioned Carl and listened til he got what he was looking for. "They’re here."A low growl rumbled in his chest as he turned to Carl. "Who?" Carl asked him, his voice dropping to a whisper.Jacqueline didn’t answer immediately. His heightene

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN.AUTHOR'S POV.The night air carried the faint scent of blood and despair, which flew all around the pack as Jacqueline and Carl walked the path leading to the pack’s territory where all the problems were generated. Where they were ready to catch the intruder red-handed.The tension between them was heightened, it was like a heavy weight that seemed to cling to their skin. Instead of shifting to get to their destination in a go, they had decided to walk some distance just to see what the damage had done to the pack.Jacqueline’s eyes were not fixed on a particular spot, it kept on moving from one person to the other in a bid to take in everything without missing out. Every step he took was calculated, he was cautious not to step on any growling individual, for the pack members had spread out on the floor, growling in pain that even when they scented their alpha passing by, they couldn't acknowledge him. Carl followed Jacqueline closely with jaw tight and fists

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX.AUTHOR'S POV.The sharp, painful sound had torn through the pack's territory, and everyone, the aged and pups, all felt it. It was unlike anything the wolves had ever experienced. It was shrill and piercing, a noise that seemed to bang directly into their skulls and pierced into their ears. It was an unspoken and unexpected pain for them all.For the lower-ranked wolves, especially the Omegas, it was another story entirely for them. All of them clutched their ears in agony, and when their eardrums couldn't hold it all in, it bled. "Ah!""Arg!""Argh!""Alpha!"Different cries of pain echoed across the pack as the weaker members collapsed on the ground, bleeding through their ears. Even some of the mid-ranked wolves struggled to stay upright, their faces pale as they fought to withstand the pain.They all forgot about the moon goddess at that moment, and cried to Jacqueline, "Alpha, help us!"Jacqueline, who was on his way to the throne room when the incident hap

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE.ROSALIE'S POV.The taste of his lips lingered on mine. It was deeply salty from his tears, and bitter from his pain. I pulled closer to him to kiss him even harder, pouring every ounce of my regret, my love, my apology into that kiss. But he didn't return the kiss, and just when I thought he would respond, Jacqueline pulled back.His lips parted from mine with a finality that left my heart beating loudly in its ribcage. He stepped away, his eyes filled with emotions which I could read into and also feel. Anger, betrayal, sorrow and a pain which I knew was deeper than the ocean.Above all those, I could see his love for me somewhere at the deep of his heart, just by a small corner there. I felt it so little but I was glad it was something."Jacqueline…" I whispered, my voice trembling as I tried to reach closer to him.He held up a hand, stopping me in my tracks, he said no word. Just his eyes on me.His silence was louder than any yell, echoing than any accusati
