LOVE IS LOSTAvery's POVSeeing Nicholas awake is one of the arguable things that would have made me unhappy; and right now, I'm losing my sanity.Nahigra was also fuming like I am and Devon was just surprised about everything Nicholas was telling him.When Elias walked in - I was sure that nothing good would come out of this. Overnight, the person I had cared for suddenly turned against me.Nicholas' feelings were hurt when he saw that Danika, her childhood friend, tried to kill me. He hasn't accepted the fact that she tried killing me.Danika was precious to him. But, one thing I'm sure of is that Danika was in love with him; And with me in the picture, I shattered her dreams to be the wife of Nicholas, and not only that - Nicholas showered me more attention.Another war might be looming soon with the look of things. The leader of each pack has anger issues, and it would be bad if both of them decided to make war instead of solving this amicably.I would have agreed to the alpha whe
ALPHA NON EST MORTUAA week has gone by, and Avery is still locked up. Nahigra laid an appeal stating that she should be able to move around The Hall and do menial jobs for Nicholas, but she won't be entitled to the benefits of being the wife of the young master. This appeal had been rejected many times, but Nahigra is never known for giving up.Elias had been visiting her frequently. He had promised her everything she ever wanted would be fulfilled only if she became his wife. Avery became spiteful and hated the fact that she found herself in this situation - If she had known she wouldn't have left Nicholas' side.Alisson used Avery's room in the meantime. News reached Avery about this situation."Why is it bad news - every time." She mumbled.Lonely in the cell. She looked through the small window. The stars shine dimly. Everywhere was silent, maybe it is because of where she was - inside a cellar.She never knew freedom, but now, she needed the slavery she was used to."This is you
MUNDAE'S DAYWahika walked hastily towards the man with an overgrown grey beard. A few meters away from him, Hoots tapped Wahika and she stared at Hoots."It has been a while." He said.Wahika ignored him and turned to where she saw the man earlier, but he was not there. Her eyes gazed around, hoping luck would find her, but all to no avail.She stomped her staff on the floor as she let out a sigh of regret, causing Hoots to flinch."What's wrong?" Hoots asked, feeling disturbed."You made me lose who I just saw," Wahika answered."Who?" Hoots asked."The man you saw in the boundary," Wahika responded."You have been looking for him. Haven't you?" He asked."Yes, I have." She responded. "If you don't mind, I'll have to leave." She said and took a step forward before Hoots stopped her. "What?" She asked.Hoots' hand was blocking Wahika's path. "Please, help me find my brother." He said. "I have looked all over for him, but I can't find him.”The young man that Nicholas drew on paper wa
WHERE IS THE ALPHA?The Stadial was silent. Some of the families whose loved ones had been in jail became prayerful to the moon goddess to show them mercy.The king sighed, looking at the chambers where the prisoners were seated with guards surrounding them."The first person my instincts told me to release. Hilaro Avero!"The families of Avero cheered. A man jumped up from the crowd where the prisoners were seated. Other prisoners congratulated him while others didn't.Avery just stared at the prisoner who got freed and wished she was the one."To the second lucky person! Odegard Kris!" The alpha screamed at the top of his voice.Nahigra and Nicholas stared at the alpha. Avery could see Nahigra from where she was.Nahigra had promised her to do her best to get her out of there, and she solely believed she would.When she's out, she'll make sure Nicholas regrets sending her to this filthy place."And last, but not least!" All arms crossed. Nahigra didn't remove her eyesight away from
SACRIFICE BIRTHS GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.Reginald and Beatrice hastily walked into the cellar. The cellar looked exactly like the one in Arbedour, but its gates are made of steel instead of iron."What do you think?" Beatrice asked Reginald who was slightly ahead of him."About?" He asked."You not telling my brother about Danika," She said."If he knows about Danika, then we are toasted for sure,""How?""He will wish to use it against us. Maybe exchange her for something important in Arbedour. She is Nicholas' childhood friend, he'd go a long mile to see that she is released."Beatrice nodded his head. "So, what are you going to do with her?" Beatrice asked."I'll use it to save my daughter in the hands of those beasts," He responded."But, she does not want to leave." Beatrice reminded him.The guards on the doorpost greeted them as they opened the door for them."We will get her to come. I will request permission to attend her mother's funeral, and when she comes, we won't allow her
MAYBE FAITH CAN CHANGE FATEBeatrice called out to the guard. "Open the door," She said.Reginald stared at her in disbelief. "What are you doing?" He asked her."If she wants to kill us, maybe she should do that now," Beatrice said."What?" Reginald was still in shock. "No, I won't let you do this." He struggled with her for the keys.She ordered the guards to hold Reginald which they did.Reginald was helpless as the lock to Danika's cell clanged with the steel. The guard unlocked Danika's cell.All this while, Danika just watched the two of them fight over the lock. She felt an ounce of attention and love from Beatrice.At first, what she planned to do when she was out was to kill as many people as possible. But, with the act Beatrice was pulling, she wanted to be with people who saw value in other people.When the door was unlocked. They swung the door wide open. Beatrice stared at her."If you wanna kill us, then do that with me first," Beatrice said."This is a huge mistake! Clo
HOOTS AND GROOTSA house looked abandoned at the end of the city. Everywhere looked cold with snowflakes on the roof and the floor which was dusty yesterday was dampened. Hoots' brother, Groot walked hastily and covered his face whenever he passed someone.He does not want to be noticed by anyone, so he made sure he prevented his face from showing up in public. He opened the door. The old man that accompanied him to the arena yesterday sat down and drank tea."Been a while since I have drank the tea from Arbedour," he smiled.Groots placed what he was carrying on the table. The table looks like it is going to lose its legs anytime soon."Why don't you place it on the bed? It is not like what you carried is dirty." The old man suggested, and Groots obeyed him."What are your plans?" Groots asked him as he untied the sack bag he carried."I don't know. I have lived more in the boundary now –""Won't you take your place back as the alpha?" Groots cut him off.Immediately, the old man pla
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
