Let's stay togetherChapter 35Life with Ben was like a fairy tale, like the story of that pretty girl with her evil stepmother and sisters, what was her name again? Yes! The story of Cinderella.Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't perfect, yeah! For instance, how Ben kept getting on Alex's nerves for brushing her teeth without washing her face, or like when the girls found out that Ben had a very deep interest in painting but was very terrible at it.Once, he attempted to paint Mitchell, she was so excited that she sat still for hours as she had herself drawn by Ben only for her to get a blunder! Paint poured all over the paper, and still, it didn't look like her. And if you were not careful enough you would think it was some child playing around with paint on the paper, you wouldn't even imagine that was supposed to be a human being's image.It became a horror to the girls for Ben to purpose to draw them. Ben's food was also terrible, my apologies, I was being nice, it was a n
Chapter 36"Girls, quickly, get down, you don't want to be late for your first day at school" Ben called as he tossed about just beneath the staircase looking at his watch. "Am down" Jessica said as she walked down the stair to the dining to stuff some breakfast into her mouth."Coming" Alex yelled rushing down the stair, "where are the rest?" Ben asked, "They would be down soon" Alex replied, "go have breakfast, because am not stopping by any restaurant to get fast food" Ben ordered with his eyebrows arcing up. Rachel and Mitchell ran down the stair following Alex as, Mitchell adjusted her backpack behind her, while Rachel was still struggling to stuff some books into it."Seriously" Alex replied almost rolling her eyes, "don't you dare roll those eyes young lady, and yeah, I mean it, no more fast food for breakfast, so go and have breakfast."" You girls have to learn to adjust with time, I know it's quite early, leaving here by 6:30 but we don't have a choice, I need to get t
Chapter 37worriesFang city"Uncle, is there any news from my dad or fang steel?" Regal asked as he flipped through some papers while sitting at his reading desk. "From your dad, no, but general information reaching us is that your dad has been able to tighten the defense on reaching fang steel. He had been able to proceed further, pushing the rogues to back away from the territory"."Great, so how long do you think it would take for him to return?" Regal asked, "I don't know prince Regal, from what I heard, the war is far from finished, though your dad has been able to push them back towards the border, the rogues are also not backing down, they are reinforcing and planning a comeback, so for now, you dad, his majesty won't be able to come back." Wilson replied."Now that they are backing down from the border, why can't dad attack them now and get this all done for once?" Regal asked impatiently, "Prince Regal, it is not so easy to just walk into an enemy's camp to attack,

"If truly the king is dead, you must maintain your calm. We can't afford for the public to see you weak!" Wilson scolded. "Seriously! Is that what I should be thinking of right now uncle?" Regal scoffed in unbelief, his eyes red with anger."I am just hearing my dad is dead, and what you want me to do right now is to think of what the public would say? To hell with the public!!!" To hell with them! Regal said storming out but was caught halfway by Lily. "Your highness, his majesty's corpse just arrived" she announced calmly. Regal growled at her but left almost immediately to his father's chambers. He walked briskly into the room and everywhere turned to pin-drop silent, everyone bowed immediately as he entered his father's chambe
Fate FightersThe birth of change CHAPTER 1Fang city_ The capital of the vampire Empire."Run call for the physician" the chief maid who had just ran into the queen's room shouted. A maid had suddenly screamed from Zara's hall_ the queen's chamber, others came rushing in, only to meet their Queen Struggling with her breath, while gasping for air. The queen's room turned into a panic conference, maids running from one place to the other, as they watched their queen struggle more with blood starting to ooze from her nose.The maid who she had talked to ran out, as the queen coughed, bringing out more blood. "Inform the king, his highness palace" the chief maid ordered again, pointing to another maid who was standing in a daze surprised at what was happening. "Now! The chief maid shouted, pulling the girl out of her daze. The maid scrambled out of the room, running to the King's chambers. She bumped her head into the door as she hurried out, but didn't
Caught a Human!4years later...Alfred, Alexandria's father roamed the werewolf border. He moved swiftly but carefully, dodging the wet grasses from slapping his face. He was on duty, so as usual, he was dressed in his full royal guard uniform. His right hand clung tightly to his sword which was just beneath his waist to the left. The clothes weren't so tough but that wasn't an issue even in the cold chilly weather, he could always transform into his wolf man and cuddle in his hairy furs If the weather went too bad.His watchful eyes darted from place to place with every noise that came with an unfamiliar scent, his Iris was bright sun yellow like they were on flames indicating his wolfman was close to taking over, ready for action just in case anything funny popped up. His eyes pierced further into the dark scary night.Recently, they had been reports of humans roaming about the werewolf borders, though their mission or reason was unknown, nonetheless, t
CHAPTER 3A very big wolf!6years later..."Alexandria! Alex! Alex!" Diana_ shouted as vibrant ten years Alexandria, ran past her, she looked very pretty in the knee-length flair lemon gown she was wearing. Her long thick silver hair was held up in a ponytail.She had her mother's, small almond, eyes, the pupil, dark and thin with winter grey pupils. She was a rare beauty."Momma" She drew the words as her perfectly lined eyebrows with her very long eyelashes fluttering up and down as she posed, annoyed. Her two hands are seated firmly on her tiny hips, "Mom, have you forgotten, I reminded you every day?" She said with her pointy nose shooting straight at her mom's face. "Forgotten what dear, where are you going?" Her mom replied turning fully to face her daughter. "Mom, today is the full moon, and the new becoming wolf is going to have their first transformation today, have you forgotten? I want to go and watch them" she said pressing her red apple lips tightly. "Well, young lady
CHAPTER 4Son of a Leader.Two years later...So I, the unnamed decided to visit fang city. It had been twelve years since Zara died, and Raymond was yet to re-marry or get a hand of his wife's killer so he didn't think it was safe to start another family when the killer was still out there roaming about unhurt in his territory.Raymond hadn't relented on finding the killer, he had gotten several head-ups on suspects but every time, it came crashing into a dead end. It was like someone was intentionally messing with him_ The council? Maybe, I can't tell, but I can tell you Regal was now sixteen years old, and he was quite a beauty!Here at Fang city empire, it was just daybreak, and everywhere was already bustling with life, the citizens were moving up and down. some trying to sell their goods, others trying to buy one thing or the other. Either way, they moved here and there satisfying their needs. Most of them walked just like human beings with a few exceptions, running very fast, pr

encouraging you guys" Ben replied. "It's fine Ben, it just shows that you want this as much as we do," Mitchell said. "Thanks, Mitchell, what of you girls, were you able to sleep", Ben asked. "Yeah, we got some sleep later" Jessica replied, "we better get going we don't want to be late" She added.They ate breakfast at a restaurant close to the court and later went in to meet the judge. "You look so tensed Jess, try and ease up with a smile," Ben said to Jessica. "You too Ben, ease up, your face looks terrible" Jessica replied and all of them laughed it off.At exactly 9 am, they were ushered into the office to see the Judge. "Hello girls" the judge greeted cheerfully, "Good morning ma" they chorused in response, "Do have a sit," she said, gesturing to a set of sofas at the other side of her office. The girls sat quietly, all four squeezed together in one sofa even though there were empty sofas.The judge picked up some files from her desk and joined them almost immediately, she smile
All inThe girls woke up quite early today, but Ben beat them to it again. It's been about three weeks since they came here, usually, they had their meals out, or made orders for them to be delivered to them at home, but today of all days, Ben decided to cook. Looks like he woke up at the best side of the bed, or not!"Do you even sleep?" Alex mumbled rubbing sleep from her eyes as she walked past Ben who was mixing pancake batter on the dining table"Is that your way of saying good morning?" Ben asked with a feing frown. "Am sorry, good morning Ben" Alex apologized and greeted. "Good Alex said patting her head while taking the batter back into the kitchen."You woke up earlier today, it's just a few minutes past eight, have you brushed your teeth," Ben asked, "yep, why do you ask, does my breath stink?" Alex asked smelling her breath. "Nope, I just thought you would have washed the sleep from your eyes too while washing your face after brushing your teeth, but it looks li
Out with the Girls.Ben was sure he was keeping these girls, it took about an hour before the girls came down the stairs looking all clean. Ben could hear the sound of their footstep as they walked together coming down the stair, okay now he had to admit it, he would have to get used to hearing more lousy footsteps, more chatting and who knows what more.Ben lifted his eyes from his laptop to watch four beautiful girls walk past him, each greeting him as they took a sit at the dining table. "Hi Ben" they greeted, "hi girls" he replied after they were all seated. "So what's for breakfast?" Alex asked while the three other girls just sat quietly, it was going to take a little more time before they get used to him, and Ben was ready to give them that time to get to know him."Alex, do you know what time it is?" Ben asked, Alex looked at the clock to check the time but Ben didn't even wait to hear the response, "I don't think you should be asking for breakfast any
Smiles that should never go away.chapter 31It was a long drive from Longhill back to holandis where Ben's house was, the girls slept up, mid-way in the journey. After they left Greta's place, they all entered the car and remained very quiet like they were afraid that Ben would change his mind and just send them back.Ben tried raising a conversation to help them relax, but it looks like he wasn't so good at easing people's tension by talking or chatting because the girls remained quietly composed, giving the necessary answers to his questions and then going back mute.Frustrated, Ben just let them be and quietly concentrated on his driving. They entered holandis the next day in the mid-morning Ben drove for about two hours before he drove into an estate and pulled up at the front of his house_ a classic storey building. He came down and opened the gate before driving in.The house was fenced, the front yard was lined with well-trimmed carpet grass and at one side an unkem
LeavingChapter 29The girls walked to the door, they were almost at the door when they heard Ben's voice, "Hold on girls" Ben said, the girls turned to face him.'Hell!' Ben thought, 'how bad could Greta have treated them or..., It couldn't have been Alex's fault! She was a well-behaved girl". Though Ben had known Alex for only a short time he felt like she was someone he could vouch for. 'she is a well-behaved girl, even when children her age would have cried, thrown a tantrum when things weren't going their way, she was strong and took it all in, she didn't leave like Greta said, that only means Greta lied to cover up something.' I can't risk leaving her here another day, if she asked for these girls to come with her, then they are probably very close friends, if this is the condition then it's fine with me.' This thought ran through Ben's mind, and in a matter of seconds, he had reached his conclusion."Yeah?" Rachel answered on their behalf, "how about you girls come wit
