Felix was surprised as well. He knew that something was off about the people who came out to riot. The people of Wisteria never rioted against their king, no matter what was happening. Yet he had advised Calhoun to come out and see them. He began to rethink his decision to take the position of the king's right-hand man."Nonsense," Calhoun muttered. "It's your place and you must remain there."Felix nodded slowly, although he was still a little afraid of the outcome of the war that was about to break out."Is Yara so much of a fool that he can't also keep his word? It's not the full moon yet and he has come to war." Calhoun announced. "Go back and tell him that I, Calhoun Montego, dared him to fight me face to face if he is wolf enough."Felix gasped. As much as Calhoun was going to win in the end, Yara was going to be a tough enemy to handle. He failed to see the wisdom in Calhoun's confrontation."My lord, I don't think that is a good idea," Felix said, stuttering. "Perhaps we shoul
Diana had faced off with all the strongest soldiers and she beat them all. It was time to face Yolanda after which she would face Theodore."Those soldiers you beat are weak," Yolanda whispered. "I'm not your regular soldier.""Cute," Diana replied.Yolanda smirked. She started by attacking. Diana was on defense, allowing Yolanda to exhaust her strength."I know what you're doing." Yolanda panted. "Let me just say, it doesn't work on me.""Jasyn has given me some special drugs that allow me to fight for hours without feeling exhausted.""Cute," Diana replied again.Yolanda hated that her words were not able to rile Diana up. She needed to do something to break her confidence."You know, your son might just expect you to lose and return to cuddle him to sleep," Yolanda said. "Only that mommy will be coming home shamefully because she was beaten sore by her fellow woman."Diana stared back at her calmly, not responding to her. She saw through Yolanda's plan and the only reason she was
Jasyn stared at Julitta. Stole one of his guns? He couldn't ever believe it. Julitta had been one of his favorite soldiers, all she ever did were things that could encourage others. Hearing that she had stolen something was worse than seeing her do it. Well because he could scold her and cover her shame before the others. But hearing it meant that she had been caught doing it or after she had done it."Julitta?" Jasyn called. "What's going on?""Sir, I wanted to show the new comrade what type of guns we use in the army and I opened my drawer to find so many other guns there," Julitta explained. "I swear, I had nothing to do with it.""Lies!" The lady yelled again. "She stole the guns and hid them there. She must have put up the surprised expression because she wanted to deceive the comrade." "Or perhaps they are cohorts." Another one chipped in.Jasyn stared at Julitta. He didn't know yet that Diana was standing behind him."Isn't it a shame?" Diana asked. "You all brought your comra
Diana badly struck a point they could not refute. Yolanda stuttered for a few seconds. What was she going to say to free herself? Truthfully she had taken the guns but she could not admit that to Jasyn. At least not in front of everyone. Maybe she could when she was alone with Jasyn and she knew she could try and salvage the situation, plead with him, cajole and coerce him in case he refused to be cajoled, to forgive her."Yolanda." Jasyn sighed. "Theo, take care of these three. Julitta, you may return to your dorm.""Yes, commander." Julitta saluted and left. Theodore took Alita, Itzel, and Alva with him. Jasyn looked from Yolanda to Diana. Whereas Diana was confident and laid-back even in her expression, Yolanda was almost white. She was so afraid that she began to turn white.Jasyn already knew who was at fault and he wanted to punish her, at least to prove to Diana that he was a just man. But somehow his guts told him that Diana didn't care about the outcome of the matter, she wa
Calhoun paced his chamber. He wasn't at peace. His heart was in a panicking frenzy and he didn't know why. Was there something happening somewhere?"George!" He called. "Inform Felix that I want to see him."George bowed and ran off to bring the man the king had requested for. Within fifteen minutes of his pacing, he turned to find Felix bowing before him."Felix, something is wrong," Calhoun said. "I don't know what the matter is, but I do feel very ... anxious, panicked even.""Panicked?" Felix reiterated. "How can you be feeling panicked? You are the one who caused people to panic, how can something make you anxious now?""I can't seem to explain it but it's so strong! Almost like I need to be somewhere else now. It's causing rage to build up in me." He explained. "I'm getting angry and I feel the urge to kill."Felix gulped and inched backward "Calm down my lord." He said."Listen to me, how exactly does it feel? Does it feel like something bad is happening somewhere? To someone p
Only her? To do the cooking? Was Calhoun so intent on punishing her that he failed and couldn't just forgive her? She wasn't happy about it. The king's taste was weird and although she was willing to do anything to get him, at least for staring that and sending her away abruptly, she needed to pay him back, also in a way that he couldn't help refute."Go ahead, make me a nice meal to eat." He said, gesturing for her to head in. Patricia bowed and stepped into the kitchen. Calhoun smirked to himself, feeling victorious. He walked out of the kitchen. He went to the dining room to sit and await the meal. George came to his side."My king, don't you think that waiting for the food will be too much stress? Why not return to your chamber, she can serve you there."Like a devil's pawn, Calhoun thought. Now he couldn't say he didn't try to resist the temptations. But if the guilt of cheating on Diana wasn't going to leave then he might as well do the same action completely so he might feel
George woke up by the following morning, feeling very satisfied. He turned in his bed to find Patricia still asleep beside him, he rolled over to where she lay peacefully and hugged her tightly. The lady groaned in her sleep, finding a comfortable spot in his arms, and fell back asleep.George smiled. His mind went back to the previous night when Patricia had come in to see him, he remembered the way she kept talking about Calhoun, saying something was wrong with him or so. He sighed, what was wrong with him anyway?"Tricia, what did you say happened to Calhoun?" He hummed softly. Patricia muttered some inaudible words under her breath and turned to the other side to sleep. "Tricia... Tricia... Wake up dear." He shook her as he spoke softly. "What happened to Calhoun?""Who's Calhoun?" Tricia mumbled, rubbing her still sleepy eyes. George was a rogue in bed and had kept her wide awake for a long time. He never got tired and only stopped when she was on the verge of passing out."The
George returned to meet Felix with Evander and Simon. Simon was a noble who also sat with the king in the chamber of meetings. Although he held no serious position like Evander or Felix, the king still held him up in high esteem. He was more or less considered the doctor of all the wolves and yet he never treated anyone else but the king and Felix, but only once in a while."Felix, I heard your urgent call. What happened?" Simon asked as soon as he entered the chamber. He found Felix seated in the head seat where the king usually sat. "Where is Calhoun?""Calhoun is ill," Felix answered. "And it's an illness I have never heard of or seen in my life.""What?" Evander exclaimed. "What happened to him? What does it look like?""I was hoping Simon could shed some light on it," Felix said, gesturing to the king's bedroom. The other two men found their way into the room to see Calhoun sleeping peacefully in his bed. It was a rare sight that no one ever saw. Calhoun slept with no expressio
