CHAPTER FORTY-THREE.

ROSALIE'S POV.

I had dressed up when the time came for the party, but then, I felt my period kicking in, and cramps held my stomach, "Ah!" I groaned.

That was the single groan that led Jacqueline and me to the kingdom's clinic. He said he had to be sure I was okay and fit to attend the party or, better still, stay back, which I didn't want.

I had to take a herb which fought against the cramps and I was okay.

"Are you sure there is no pain anymore?" Jacqueline questioned me to be sure.

"Yes. I'm very sure, and I'm okay now, you shouldn't worry about me."

He nodded and we moved to the hall.

We stepped into the hall, I was not chanced to check out everywhere as I desired. We were blocked and crowded by the leaders and some guards, who looked strangely at us like they had turned down the palace for our location.

I smiled towards the leaders, "Good evening, leaders."

They all nodded to my greeting and pointed towards the guards, "These guards had prepared themselves to

    CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR.ROSALIE'S POV.'The garden of pain.' I muttered in my heart, I was too shocked to say anything to them.I watched as Dracula moved towards a bed of lavender and touched its thorns, smiling, "Do you know that one has to feel pain one way or the other for like a million times in a lifetime?"I sighed but replied not to him."Hey," The fairy queen called me and I took my attention to him/her, "Are you scared?"I shook my head, "No."I was not close to being scared, I was just astonished since everything seemed strange and abnormal.Okay, maybe nothing was to be normal about things relating to these people. They were abnormal themselves, and it could have been better if they could pretend to be better people, but Dracula was just doing everything too much.I didn't blame him, though; he only wanted my blood, but he had to experience pain and endless wishes, and he was almost ripped off what he craved."You're a strange woman, anyone will be scared at this moment. Aren'

    CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE.JACQUELINE'S POV.I knew it was not a good idea to leave Rosalie alone by herself to go off with the leaders, but I had to do so. It was like if I didn't, they would attack me with her, so I had to give them a chance to try their luck with me."I will be fine, I promise," I assured Rosalie and I meant that promise.When I was leaving with the leaders, I turned back to see her sitting there alone and I could feel her worries for me. *Should we return to her?* Jack questioned me, and I sighed.*No.*I know that if we did, we would be risking more.I decided to focus on the people I was with and to be ready for any sudden attack.The phoenix king came towards me and initiated a conversation. "How did you see the palace so far?""Good. But not good enough to keep enemies away," I told to him."You're wrong. My enemies can't step into the palace, except for the ones I let in." He defended.I huffed. "We will see to that."We got to a widely opened balcony and I reasone

    CHAPTER FORTY-SIX.ROSALIE'S POV.My hands were shivering, and my lips quivering because of the sight in front of me. The sight of Jacqueline's numbness and frightfully, he was not breathing."Drive faster!" I shouted at the driver, and he listened, zooming through the empty driveway which was like in an underground.I took my shivering hands to Jacqueline's face as his head was laid on my lap. I tapped him, "Jacqueline, hey!"No response came from him, and he was not breathing. The only difference between him and a dead man was that he was not cold nor white yet. He looked normal but was not moving."Contact Carl and tell him what is happening. Tell him to prepare a pass through the hidden route in the pack and into the pack house for it will be too embarrassing and sorrowful for everyone in the pack to know that their alpha is in a bad condition.""Okay, Luna."He did as he was told and I focused on Jacqueline, "Just hang on there, I will save you."I pecked his forehead and held hi

    CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN.THE PHOENIX KING'S POV.I was in the event hall where everything unfolded a few minutes ago.I sat down on a seat like a frozen being. All my years of living, I've met with different creatures, those on land and those in the water. Even those in the air, I've seen, but I had never seen a creature so mysterious before. Never.'Who is he?' That was a question that no one had an answer to. He couldn't be fished out, and my annoying subordinates kept on repeating the same thing. 'He is a werewolf.' They said.But I didn't believe that shit. Of course, I saw the wolf in him growing out of his hand, how he tore fleshes with his claws, how he nodded off heads. Everyone saw that, but no one knew why I sat down there on the floor after being thrown across the room by him.No one knew what I struggled with.No one would even understand it if I tried to explain it to them. All they knew was that we all were trashed by 'a boy'.'One boy trashed the leaders of the six powerf

    CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT.AUTHOR'S POV.All the leaders in the Phoenix kingdom were in great sorrow, and each sorrow was due to their loss.However, even with the fact that they were in sorrow, they were not feeling the same kind of thing. The heaviness of their sorrows varies according to how close they are to the people they lost.Scott was the worst one of them all. He was the one with the craziest sorrow, and at some points, he felt his heart shredding. He had stopped seeing Jacqueline as just a boy. Jacqueline was now a 'cruel beast' to him, one who killed without mercy.He forgot he had once hurt Jacqueline beyond measure, he now held the present dear, forgetting the past.Saying, 'Jacqueline is a beast who killed my future family. One that clawed into their lives and took without giving.'Nemesis caught up with him, he didn't reason that way.For Scott, the pain which Jacqueline caused him had settled in his heart and refused to let him go. Ophelia was gone, though, he never really

    CHAPTER FORTY-NINE.CARL'S POV.The weight of leadership is no joke. It weighed me down and I was suddenly growing frail and slim. I had thought that Jacqueline would have awoken from his sleep by now, but 'no!' He was still very well asleep while I shouldered his responsibilities.For the last few weeks, I’ve had to shoulder the entire burden of running the pack while Jacqueline recovers. It was exhausting enough that I had a feeling I might go mentally, physically, and emotionally unstable soon. The constant demands of the elders for a meeting, which I had been cancelling of course. I mean, what would I tell them if they asked about Jacqueline's whereabouts from me? I was not a good liar, and even with weeks gone, I couldn't think of a perfect lie that could be seen as truthful.There again were endless decisions I had to make. What concerns me about the colour code to be used in the market square on the pack's market day? Anyone could decide about that one, must it be the alpha

    CHAPTER FIFTY.CARL'S POV.Cal's voice had faded, and I had to prepare myself for the next battle of my life, which I had to fight alone: a meeting with the pack elders.I did not have a perfect idea to relate Jacqueline's present situation to the elders yet, but I had thought of one which I prayed to the moon goddess to be successful because if it didn't, I would have to tell the truth, thereby, risking everything and everyone's lives.I met up with a guard who was waiting for me by the door of the council room, "Beta." He bowed to me.I nodded at him, "Is everyone in?""Yes, beta. Would you like anything in the council room?""No, I'm fine."He nodded and pushed the door open, and I stepped in to meet every seat occupied by the elders apart from the one in the centre, obviously waiting for me to be taken.I went over to my seat and sat down, facing the elders whose chairs were in a semicircle by both of my sides.For a meeting like this, we would have used the throne room on a norma

    CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE.CARL'S POV.The expressions in the council room ranged from shock to scepticism, and the weight of their gazes bore down on me after Elder Lennox declared the letter fake.'How did he know?' I wondered.I knew I forged the paper. I mean, how else would a letter come in from Jacqueline, who was lying sick in bed, if not through me?I knew I had to do something that would cause everyone to believe the words I was speaking, and earlier, I had written the letter.Forging Jacqueline's writing was like a piece of cake for me.I had worked and walked with him for a long time, and everything about him was known to me. I had also written a letter for some people before in Jacqueline's name, so I knew everything about his writings.Also, I just realised I fucked up.Using the royal seal was a mistake I never really thought of. The royal seal was too sacred to be carried about all around. It had to be in the sacred place in the castle, and that was the mistake I made.Jacqueli

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!"

    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
