"I have been calling on you two to come join me in the kitchen but you were muttering gibberish.''

''Oh oh! We were just trying to memorize a poem we learned a couple of days back.''

Alice and Alicia plastered on the smile that seemed to convince the head cook all the time. It didn't fail to convince her this time around cause she nodded in approval and beckoned them to the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, the twins can't go with you." A masculine voice rang in their ears.

They all turned and looked at the direction the voice came from. It was King Azalea!

"Long live the King." They all chorused as they paid obeisance to him.

"Alice and Alicia, I'm inviting you two to have breakfast with the royals. You have to come immediately." The king announced and left hurriedly.

Inviting the twins for breakfast? Was he planning to accept them as his mate now?

The head cook thought as she paced up and down. If King Azalea was going to be mated to the twins, then she had limited time left for her reveng

    "So what do we do now?" The twins asked the duo. "I have an idea!," Night screamed. "Okay, what is it?" Alicia and Alice asked, as they sat up and waited for a response. Instead a soft knock came on her door. "Come in." A maid appeared in the doorway. "You two have been summoned for your class with the royal matron." "Royal matron!?" The girls asked in shock. "Yes, the royal matron." Since when did sex slaves began to get lectures from the royal matron? "But why?" Alicia asked. "You'll know when you get there. Let us go this very moment." "Okay. We will be right behind you." Once the maid left, Alice and Alicia picked up two books and pens. "Night, Candy, we have to get going. We'll talk about this after the class. Urghhhh! we don't want to attend those classes." The twins ranted badly. It was nothing new that the royal matron classes were boring and the royals who attended were tired of the class, as it threatened to choke the liveliness out of their bodies. Ho

    "Aren't you two going to get into trouble?" Bruno asked, looking concerned. "For sneaking out." "Not really. We'll take care of it". "How did you two sneak out without getting noticed?" Bruno was no doubt in awe of the twins. "We both sneaked into a buggy that was to deliver parcels and we got out just fine." Alicia answered companionably. Bruno caught the look of mischief in her eyes and began to laugh. Alicia and Alice followed suit and joined in the laughter that echoed in the forest. "You haven't told me your names yet, girls." Bruno said as he plodded into the river. "Oh, yeah. My name is Alicia Louis and my twin sister is Alice Louis." "You two must be proud of your names." "Of course we are." Alicia said, trying to sound as modest as she could. The taste of the water was refreshing to their tongue. Perhaps, the feeling of it would do great things to their skin. So Alicia and Alice jumped into the river and the movement caused the water to splash on Bruno. "Yo

    Marline watched as Alicia eliminated the beast effortlessly. "No!!!" She paced back and forth as she muttered some dark magic jargons loudly. "I am going to destroy you!!! I will tear you to bits! From limb to limb! Sinew to sinew!! Arghhh!!!" Alicia dusted off the dirt on her dress and looked at Bruno. He was staring at her in wonder. "You mustn't tell anyone what you just saw. Okay?" Bruno nodded his head willingly. "Ok." "Good. If you do, you'll be called a liar and no one in this kingdom will believe you." Alice added. He nodded again. Wanting to gear his mind away from the present subject, Alicia broached a topic from an experience she and Alice had with him a month ago. "What made you steal from the palace?" "Hunger was what spurred me to do that. My Papa had died while cutting wood. The ax head left its place and ended up in my father's leg. He bled to death without getting any help." He paused for a moment. "My mama got worried and some young men volunteered to g

    A look of surprise took hold of King Azalea's facial expression but soon disappeared. "Mother, don't you think that's a bit unnecessary? I feel you're being too hard on them." King Azalea said as he looked from the twins to his mother. Alicia and Alice couldn't believe what the Grand Queen, Seria, just said. Anyway, what she said was true. A leopard never loses its spots. They must have been fools to assume that Queen Seria had changed. "My son, I don't think it is. We are trying to be responsible rulers. So checking if the gifts they were given are still intact isn't unnecessary, but very essential. It only means we are looking out for them and have their best interest at heart. Your mate has to be a well-bred one, isn't it?" Queen Seria asked." "Of course, they have to be." King Azalea nodded affirmatively. He turned to the twins and placed his hand over theirs. ''You two would have to go bring those gifts, okay?'' ''Okay, your lordship.'' Alicia and Alice could not believe tha

    "The king requests to see you." "Huh? Have I done something wrong?" Bruno's voice quivered with fear. "I am not disposed to share any information with you." the guard replied. "You won't be harmed at all." He added. Bruno gave the guard a thorough look once again, as he shook like a leaf under the pressure of the wind. Alicia and Alice chuckled from where they stood. The twins understood Bruno's fears. Clearly, royalties did not associate with commoners, so it was good enough reason to get scared once one got summoned by the king. "Can…can you give me a second to go inside and get my cloak?" Bruno requested, his voice gathering all the courage he could muster. The guard rose a brow in askance. "After all, I have to look presentable. Right?" The guard nodded yes. A few seconds later, Bruno appeared with his cloak. He moved a few steps forward and once he was certain the guard was not looking his way, he brought out a rod. He let out a brave yell and was about to hit the gu

    "So I heard a beast that rampaged your neighborhood was killed by a man that lives amongst you?"Bruno looked clueless, not until he looked at Alicia and she coughed perfunctorily. He got her message and replied to the king promptly."Ermh, yes. Yes, your Highness.""I would love to meet with him but before then what are the needs and challenges of the people?" Bruno did not have to think hard to spot a very significant problem. "During the dry season, farmers find it hard to cultivate crops because there's no rain. There's only a bumper harvest during the rainy season but once the rainy season ends, people suffer from lack of food.""What do you think can be done to help the farmers?"Bruno sat quietly for some minutes before speaking up. "Can I get parchment paper and ink, please?"The King clapped his hands and a guard appeared. "Yes, your Highness.""Get some parchment paper and ink.""As you wish, your Highness." The guard bowed quickly and left.The guard arrived not long aft

    The witch hunter sat on a wooden stool sharpening some of his tools that had become blunt and dull. It had been a while since he went to hunt down witches, they seem to be on the low to avoid being his prey and killed by him. The witch hunter was well known amongst witches but it wasn't the same amongst the mortals. Not many people knew the witch hunter because he went into seclusion to live in the forest,to fulfill his biggest dream of being a witch hunter. The few that knew him before he went into seclusion, believed he was mentally derailed. Humans never believed in witches and wizards, vampires and wolves, they said it was just some myth and folklore. Nobody believed in his dreams. He sharpened the tools (knives, swords and a dagger), and kept them each in a pocket of the shirts hanging on the wall. He sat back on the stool to reminisce on what the trio had told him some days ago. 'Marline seems like a very tough witch to deal with.' 'I can't believe I have not b

    ''Who have you been speaking with Alicia and Alice?!'' ''I have been watching you for sometime now.'' The Queen interrogated the twins after hearing them speak with some imaginary beings. ''Your highness, we weren't talking to anyone. It's just the three of us here.'' The twins denied. ''Hmmph!'' The Grand Queen scoffed and walked away. She couldn't drag the matter further,lest she be accused of being crazy. She went to her room restless, pacing to and fro. 'But I heard them clearly with my ears.' 'I heard them mutter some words as if they were discussing something with someone.' The queen was unconvinced by the lie, the twins told her. 'Come to think of it, those scoundrels acted strange the other day, in front of the king and I.' 'Something is not right and I must figure it out.' ''How did they know that I took the necklaces?'' ''How did they find it?'' ''Why were they nodding their heads to some invisible beings? '' ''Was it the same person she caught them talk

    "Azazel, please get the barbeque stand outside, the others will be here any moment” Alicia called out as she ties Elsie's hair in front of the mirror. “On it” Azalea called back from the other room in the house. “Here, all done” Alicia said to her six year old daughter, Elsie. “I look pretty mommy” Elsie said happily with her tiny voice. “Yes you do, darling. Now why don't you go join the others outside to get everything ready?” Alicia said “Okay Mommy” Elsie said and got off the stool and running out of the room. “No running in the house” Alicia said in a loud voice to stop Elsie from running. She heard her daughter's footsteps slow down before resuming her running again. Alicia sighed but a smile danced on her lips. It has been 14 years since The bluecrest moon was created and by far it was the best years of her life. With a kingdom of their own, her sister close by, their mate and so many children… she wanted nothing more. So much have happened since that day when the vampir

    "Alice, quit looking at yourself in the mirror and get ready to come out, all the guests have arrived” Alicia scolded with an eye roll. Her sister was always obsessed with a mirror, it was hard to pull her off it even when there are crowds of people anticipating their arrival. “I'm coming, mom” Alice said sarcastically before turning to join Alicia at the door. “Are you ready?” She asked with a softer tone, she was so nervous, it was why she couldn't stop worrying about her appearance and kept checking herself on the mirror. “No… I swear to the goddess that I'm not ready” Alicia blurted out in a shaky breath. Alice chuckled and took her sister's hand, “I'm not ready too but we have to get our shit together for this important day. It is time to show ourselves to the world and let them see our power, got that? She said. Usually it was Alicia who was stronger mentally and more encouraging, but now it was the other round. Alice couldn't blame her, no one can be strong all the time.

    “Dear girls and Azalea, if you are reading this then it means you know that you all are mates. You be wondering how I know this, the truth is Azalea father and I knew all along. Azalea may not remember but he always wanted to visit Anna when she was pregnant, he presence used to relieve her of any pain that the girls were causing her. He was the first to say that it was twin girls in her and he claimed they were his babies. It was already very obvious that you all were mates. I truly apologize to Azalea, you must have been very sad and angry about your father's death, perhaps you think I killed him. I promise you I didn't. Your father was a very good friend of mine, we were good friends until our last breath, I still wished I said goodbye to him in a better way, the last time I saw him we were in an argument. He said he wanted me to take the heirloom and only give the kids when they realize that they are mates because his time was drawing near and I was very angry at him for being

    As early as five o'clock, Azalea and the girls went outside the pack house to find out what Louis had hidden so securely, they greatly suspected that it was the heirloom but they didn't want to conclude without seeing it first. After the fun they had all through the night, their bodies wanted to sleep like the other members of the pack but they resisted because they were curious about what Louis was hiding from them all these years. The cold morning air made the girls shiver a little but they kept walking till they arrived at the three tall trees. They were arranged like a triangle, the girls couldn't help but remember the games that they played with their parents there under these trees. It was a place that held beautiful memories for them. “What now? Where do we dig?” Alice asked in confusion. The area between the tress weren't very small, it would take a couple of hours to dig every inch around it. The tri- couple stay quiet and they thought deeply, then Azalea said, “We could

    “I'm back lovebirds” Bill said, breaking the moment and walking up to them. It was clear from his beady eyes that he must have shed a tear or two while he was at Louis and Anna's grave. Everyone laughed along with him, when the laughter dies down, he spoke up again, “Alpha Louis, goddess bless his soul, left something for you girls. He had told me to tell you only when you both have found your mate” Bill said. “Really?” The girls chorused in surprise. What could their dad have left for them that can only be discovered after they found their mates? Even Azalea listened with rapt attention. “Yes, perhaps he knew he would not be there to give you in person so he instructed me to” Bill said with a hint of sadness in his voice. “What is it uncle Bill?” Alicia asked. Bill pursed for a few seconds before saying, “When you girls were just babies, your father tattooed some words on you. He told me to tell you girls and your mate to find the tatto

    The pack looked a lot different than before, this was probably because the place was being lively again, the weeds were cleared and destroyed houses rebuilt. It wasn't perfect but it was better, it goes to show how much progress they made in just one day of coming here. Azalea and the twins went around giving orders and making sure everything was alright. The wolves weren't scared of Azalea, despite being imprisoned they still knew what has been going on, they knew he was the girl's mates and that was why he released them and brought them back to the pack. They also know of Alicia and Alice sufferings in the vampire kingdom, they were grateful that the girls still remembered them after everything that happened. They could have remained as the Queens of the vampire kingdom and enjoyed a good life with their mate but they didn't, they still had their pack in mind. And as for Azalea, they forgave him when he released them and assist in rebuilding the pack. After the hardwork du

    After some arrangement and planning, Azalea and the girls left the kingdom to the long abandoned pack. They wanted to find the heirloom, bury their parents properly and set everything right. Who would have thought the same person who came to ruin the pack months ago, would be the same person to fix it? The power of a mate bond was seemly too overpowered, the moon goddess matched accurately. Azalea left the kingdom to a few trusted aids to take care of, he didn't know for how long they would be gone so he had to make good preparations. The drive to the pack was in a comfortable silence, the girls enjoyed the cool air and also thought about their parents and the pack. They wanted to do right by them and be better daughters and pack leaders. The planned on bringing the pack back to life and their mate was going to help them. It was their sole reason of returning, the heirloom was a secondary reason. When they arrived at the pack, the twin's eyes couldn't help but

    “What do we do now?” was the only thing Alicia could say, she couldn't defend her father as firmly as she did before but deep down she knew her father would never try to steal. This case was all too strange. “We go get answers” Azalea answered plainly. “What do you mean? Alice asked, confused and curious. “Perhaps, it's time to visit the pack together. I have postponed our vacation flight, we need to get answers and we need to get it now” Azalea said in a firm voice that the girls seemed to resonate with. “Yes, We need to find out what happened all those years ago and the whereabouts of the heirloom” Alicia said and Alice nodded in agreement. Azalea eyes softened as he heard them, he didn't think they would be so willing to help him find the heirloom even when it meant that their father had taken it. He had been thinking of a way to tell them about it but he didn't know

    “Wait… you mentioned that you wanted to obtain some information from my parents, what was that about?” Alicia suddenly asked. Azalea's eyes flashed with an unreadable emotion and he said after a sigh, “I think it's time to talk” The girls ears perked up with rapt attention, they wanted to know what was so important to Azalea that he had to attack their pack with force. Azalea inhaled and exhaled deeply before beginning his narration, “Years ago, your father and mine were very good friends. They were quite close too. I was very young then and you girls hadn't been born, I can only remember little fragments of memories but as I grew older, I understood them more. There was an heirloom that the vampire kingdom had, rumour had it that only a few people had seen it but yet it was so powerful, it was why no one dared to attack the kingdom.
