THE SECRET MEETING THAT CAUSED THE RAINFALL Nicholas's pov I waited for my stepmother to arrive and tell him about the conversation she had with the alpha. I waited for a few minutes and I guessed maybe they were still having a conversation."Kill the king?" I tried connecting the dots, but it was not making sense.I felt I was too young to be thinking. I banished the thoughts from my head as I waited for my stepmother.She walked slowly. I don't think she is aware that I'm seeing her. "Mother," I called her out from whatever she was thinking about.I never believed the myth of the zombies, but with the stories, I have read about them - how she lifted her head looks exactly how a zombie would."What's wrong?" I asked her."I'm tired of your father," she replied without a pinch of care if I would be emotionally downcast."What do you mean?" I needed to try my best to be patient to hear what I failed to listen to back in the hall."Use your ride. I'm going to Wahika's place," she said
OUR LITTLE SECRETS"Who is Mensaviv?" Groots asked."A man who shouldn't have been killed. But tortured until his last breath," the old man was spiteful with his words."What did he do?"The old man paced to and fro. He seems to be looking for something.There are other thoughts in Groots head but he needs the old man to calm down first or find what he was searching for. He looked down and dipped his hand into the water. His hand stayed inside for a very short period before he pulled something up.Groots was more scared than shocked. The item in the old man's hand resembles what he had seen before but he is not aware of what it was used for. He forgot about the question he needed answers for as he hopped to this new one."I have seen this before. What is this?" He asked.The old man put the item on the table. He examined it with his hands. "This caused terror for so many years even before I was an alpha.""And you're touching it comfortably." Groots pointed at it."Without the other o
THE UNKNOWN LETTERHoots had called his father because of what happened to his fiancee. She had been crying in pain since the time they arrived home. Hoots was scared and no matter what they did the pain didn't seem to stop.Immediately after Nicholas left Wahika's place, Hoots went to her and complained about what was happening to his fiancee.Wahika took her staff, closed the door behind her and followed Hoots to his house.She glared closely at Hoots' fiancee. "It is the child in her.""What happened?" Hoots father asked."Sorry to break it to you. She will survive and the child will survive too,""Why then did you say sorry?" Hoots asked."That would be the one and only child. The kicking and hurting she is passing through now means there is someone the child wants her to see." She turned to Hoots' fiancee. "Who did you see?" Wahika asked."No one," she struggled as she said those words."Then you must let the child be your compass,""What does that mean?""You must let the child
HIDDEN MESSAGES AGAINThings weren't going very well for Avery. She was sick of the jail and needed to go out to perceive fresh air. Her prayers were answered when Nahigra visited her again. Nahigra's face beamed pity when she glared at Avery. She wondered how things went from sweet to sour in less than a season."Hey," she called to her silently.Avery's dark circles were more evident even from afar. Nahigra's heart was burdened, and for so many reasons she knew Avery had to leave here at once. "Why can I hear your heartbeat?" She asked Nahigra."What?""I can hear your heartbeat from here. It is not good to think about me. I'll be fine."How does she know Nahigra was thinking about her? Maybe it is pure instincts that enveloped her at that instant. Nahigra kept thinking of what she could do, and the only thing that crossed her mind was to make sure Avery spends like 30 minutes outside the cell. But, which guard can he trust?Elias had not stopped coming to Avery. He offered a better
WHO SOUGHT FOR MY RELEASE?Charles stood behind Devon. They were alone in the room. Charles left his position as he stood before Devon. Devon glared at him."My Lord," Charles bent down."Speak,""In your infinite mercies, I would love to request something of great value from you, my Lord." He said without looking at Devon.Devon glared at him. What is he up to? Will he beg him to spare his king? Devon kept his questions to himself. "Speak,""Release Avery," he said and looked up to Devon.Devon wasn't expecting what he just said. Why would he say that? If it was gold he would give it to him without blinking."Why?""We both know she didn't try to kill you nor did she have any affair whatsoever with Elias. We framed the poor girl, she has suffered enough to release her.""Since she arrived, everything had been upside down,""How will a mere mortal influence what goes around the alpha?" He paused. "No one bears the name Alpha except you. No one is above you.""What's your motive?""I d
THE MERE MORTALReginald glared at Danika occasionally. His instincts are not welcoming Danika in this vicinity. Beatrice had taken a huge risk, and if this backfires, everything would be on him.Danika ate slowly. She wasn't rushed off course, but she was eating way too slowly. Beatrice was patient as she picked on her food. Reginald couldn't take it anymore."When are you going to attack?" Reginald asked while Beatrice tried to shut him up.Danika did not respond. Reginald stared at Beatrice. "If you will release him, why don't you release him?""Who?""The inmate before her cell!" Reginald was losing it, but somehow he kept going and made sure he saw Danika back in jail.Reginald was going all in, Danika was still in their presence, and Beatrice felt bad. "She tried to kill you!""And she didn't!" Beatrice yelled. "You heard the other prisoner, she would have killed me, but she decided not to!""I still don't sit well with this," Reginald made sure he told her where he stands."Oka
FOREST OF ARMAGEDDON"Avery! Avery!! You can't stay here!" She sprang up. It was a dream, but it felt so real. A towel fell off her face, she picked it up and turned right. Wahika was asleep, holding her staff tight. Avery scratched the back of her head, spanking it severally.The last time she checked, she was trying to tell Wahika about the letter she received in the prison. Avery felt uncomfortable with what she was wearing. A hot bath was all she needed at the moment. She sat down on the bed, touching her wet cloth that was caused by the heat. Leaving her position, she saw Hoots - he was sitting close to his fiancee who had dozed off too.Never intending to wake anyone up, she tiptoed her way to the door. Wahika's voice halted her footsteps. "Where are you heading?" She asked."Going home," Avery responded."Spend the night here.""I need a hot shower."Avery waited till she said something. Wahika stood up. "Follow me," Avery watched her take several steps before she took hers. Wa
THE SWITCHEREverything is heated up in everyone's life. Nicholas is vexed about the release of Avery, Avery does not want to go with Wahika to the forest. Daniel and Avery's relationship is getting farther away and it is getting bleak like fresh poison. Jasmine knew he was dying and Groot helped him every day. Hoots' never left his fiance's side, he trusted Wahika that she would do everything possible to save his fiance. Nahigra had been happy with the alpha for releasing Avery, but Charles had a plan for her - she would be the bait to get the alpha in the long run. Devon was thinking about how he could get his hands on the alpha without directing it to him. Charles advised they should seek Danika's release at first - they would be reluctant, and that would give the alpha's side an edge to get their mission accomplished.Danika got out of the bureau without getting caught. She was glad nothing happened. She trusted Beatrice now, but with Reginald? It is like throwing stones in a glas
