"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

    The four of them returned back to the palace after hearing the evil that befell the witch hunter. The twins were so devastated and shocked that they remained in the garden for a very long time, thinking about what they just heard. "There they are! Just who I have been looking for," Rose said as she smiled. The twins snapped out of their thoughts on seeing Rose approaching them. 'Huh? How did Rose manage to know where they were?' "Good afternoon Rose." "Good afternoon, guys. I came to get you two so we can go make preparations for the trip to the royal chalet where the festival of the battle royals will be taking place." "Looks like we have to leave now. '' Night said before he and Candy disappeared. Alicia and Alice were grateful, Rose came along with them for the Festival of battle royals. The twins couldn't imagine how much they would have had to endure Grand Queen Seria incessant glares. Truly, claiming to love them and calling them the sunshine of her life, was al

    The twin sisters's senses went into full swing as they moved towards the left. The arrow seemed to be moving faster than normal. One moment, everything was moving in slow motion and the next moment, it seemed like everything was happening too fast. Way too fast. Without second thoughts, the twins grabbed Rose's hand and moved her away. The force with which Alicia and Alice drew Rose, made the three of them fall to the ground. The sound of the arrow on the dartboard penetrated the silence. "What was that all about?" Rose asked as she rolled off the twins. "That." Alicia and Alice pointed to the dartboard. Rose's mouth fell open when she realized what the twins were trying to say. "It would have been your head." Alicia said. "Goddess, gracious!" Rose hugged the girls and stayed that way for a while. "Thank you." After the hallway episode, Alicia and Alice laid on the bed. "Hello, there." The twins turned around to find Night and Candy beside them. "Hello, you two."

    The next day dawned with sunshine and blue skies. After a very healthy and happy breakfast, the Deville's headed to the stadium where the festival was going to take place. After the ribbon cutting ceremony and music, the twins asked for permission to leave from the king and bade the rest of the royals goodbye. With King Azalea's permission, Alicia and Alice left in a buggy for the palace. Grand Queen Seria smiled smugly as the twins bade everyone goodbye. The twins stopped by the river to converse and check on Bruno and the other locals who were working on the irrigation system."Hello, there!" Alicia and Alice called out as they stepped out of the buggy."Alicia! Alice!" Bruno called out with a wide smile on his face. The other commoners exchanged puzzled looks as to his use of their names, as they looked like nobles. When he looked back and noticed, he bowed and greeted. "Good day."Alicia and Alice stifled a laugh as they watched him bow."Good day, Bruno. How's the work goi

    Alicia and Alice placed their feet on the saddle and climbed the horse's back. Elena made sure everything was in place before permitting to go round the training ground with the horse. She smiled as she watched the twins take off. The young girls were everything. Beautiful, Ambitious, selfless, kind and mature. Maybe too mature for girls their age, Elena thought to herself. Whereas girls their age were worried about dresses, ponies and the lot, the twins went about doing things that adults did. "Can we go see the King? He just got back from the festival." Alicia's voice cut through her thoughts. Elena nodded. "Of course, yes. Let's call it a day." "Thank you." The twins alighted the horse with Elena's help and ran off to where the King was. Alicia and Alice yelped for joy as King Azalea hugged them, lifted them off the ground and spun them around. He changed from being a very horny asshole to a very matured king, overnight. As they wandered into the garden and made small

    It had been quite a day at the palace. The palace was a hub-bub of activity as preparations to celebrate the King had gone into full swing. The ballroom was being decorated, the flowers and shrubs were being trimmed to perfection and Amelia had her hands full with sorting out the menu and getting food prepared on such short notice. Everywhere was buzzing with activity and the twins could not help but wonder at the turn of events. Alicia and Alice walked to the door of the study and knocked softly. They had been summoned by the queen. "Come in." The Grand Queen said from the other side of the door. The twins opened the door and slipped into the room. "Good day, your highness." "Good day, my darlings." Grand Queen Seria said with so much glee and excitement. Alicia and Alice refrained from quirking their brow. Did they miss something? Because they couldn't place why the Queen was being to them. Oh! It had to be because of the party that was going to be held in honor of the

    ''Mother, are you okay? You haven't touched your food since. What's the problem?'' King Azalea asked, looking concerned. With a practiced fluidness, Grand Queen Seria smiled smoothly and placed her hands on the king's."I am fine, my king. I was just overwhelmed with the allergy episode." Grand Queen Seria smiled, making sure her face conveyed as much concern as possible. "I will go speak with Amelia immediately."She gracefully stood up from her seat and turned to the Earl and Countess of Duxin. "I am sincerely sorry about the peanuts. Be rest assured that it will never happen again.""Thank you, your Highness," the Earl replied good naturedly. The Countess nodded her response and smiled. Queen Seria wove her way through the crowd and found her way to the kitchen."Your Highness." Amelia said immediately the queen walked in. All the kitchen servants paid respect as she made her way to where the head cook was standing."Amelia, Amelia. About the allergy episode.""I am sincerely

    "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.
