HER RESURRECTION: The Alpha's Princess Chapter 21: Strugglers
RIO"Alpha Rio!" He screamed and somehow, his guttural scream seemed to affect my thinking faculty. I turned to look at him and this was when Owen got the chance to do what he had always wanted to do from the start. He stroked me on the shoulder and the sword blade cut through my skin. I groaned, inhaling sharply as pain spread through my body. I looked at Owen and found him smiling crookedly at me. The men were back to hailing and this fuelled Owen's ego. "I told you I'll kill you." He blurted out. Though in pain, I tried to smile at him. "Is this all you can do?" I chuckled and the smile fell off his face. To spite me, he pulled the sword out, making sure to pull some of my flesh with it. Unable to bear the pain silently, I let out a painful growl. Blood was trickling from the cut and the sight of my blood made me mad. I stared at my injured shoulder a little longer and when I looked up, all I could see was red. If I thought I had been angry before, then I thought wrong. Now, m

RIOOwen's brown wolf had his ears pointed slightly forward and its forehead, neck hair and hackles were raised. Ivory teeth appeared between his jaws, his tongue moving around his mouth with saliva dripping from its lips. I wondered if it was trying to scare me but my wolf was not one to be intimidated. I was bigger than he was and more ferocious. We both swung our heads and with our bodies low in a crouch position, we began slinking slowly towards each other whilst keeping our eyes on each other. Owen's brown wolf immediately rushed forward to lunge at my left flank but my grey wolf was quick to dodge. As a result, we got involved in a confrontation and Owen thought he could defeat me by targeting my injured shoulder. But I knew his trick and after a moment of fighting hard, I finally got a chance to sink my sharp canine into his flesh. He growled in pain, his eyes on his freshly sustained wound just above his thigh. Before he could fully retract, I snapped at his head, pulling t

FRANCESCA My heart was pounding loudly in my chest as I stood in the middle of nowhere. I had been walking for a long time, trying to find my way out, but I kept returning to this same junction — every time. Tall trees stood as mountains around me, such that I could not see ahead of me. But I knew I was somewhere in a thick forest and I wondered how I had gotten there. The last thing I could remember was returning my novel to the shelf and going to sleep on my bed in my room. How then had I moved from being in my room to being in a forest? What was going on? The night was silent except for the hooting of an owl from a distance and the occasional croaking of toads. The crickets were chirping annoyingly too but aside from these creatures, the night was pin-drop silent. The silence was frightening. The sky had a few stars scattered around it with an ivory-shaped moon which shone its light lazily, casting faint shadows on the ground. Rather than aid my sight, this faint moonlight

FRANCESCA The sun was starting to set when I finally stood up to leave. I had been at my mom's tomb all day, crying my eyes out as I paid her homage. It was her anniversary that day and my boyfriend, Jason had promised to go with me to the cemetery. But a board meeting had come up and had truncated our plans, forcing me to go alone. Now, I was here, torn and broken, staring at the inscription on her tombstone: Ella Johnson. A beloved mother. That was who she was to me. My beloved mother. I still could not believe she was gone. I still hoped that one day I would wake up to her sitting by my bed, holding a plate of pancakes and teasing me for thinking she was dead. But that was a desire that could never be actualized. She was dead. She had died a year ago from cancer. The memory still hurt badly because everyone thought she was gonna survive it. She had been responding well to treatment but had suddenly not woken up the next morning. It was strange and I was yet to figure things

FRANCESCA I was sprinting at lightning speed through a violent wind. It was as though I was being carried away by the wind and as I sprinted, a quick documentary of my life played before my eyes Images of my adulthood down to my childhood flashed before my eyes as I ran but these images vanished when it got to my babyhood. It was strange because I thought it should be from babyhood to adulthood and not the other way around, but I willed myself not to care, rather I focused on my environment, trying to make out where I was. Was I in heaven or hell? The last thing I could remember was being hit by a vehicle. So where was I and how did I move from lying on the bare ground to flying in the sky? Everywhere was bright. The light was blinding and I squinted a bit to shut the light from hurting my eyes. I sure must be in heaven, I thought to myself. I had heard stories about the heavens being filled with light so I must be in heaven. A soft voice was humming a melodious tune and I s

RIOIt was a struggle but I was finally able to open my eyes after some time. It had felt like scales had been used to seal my eyelids such that they were heavy to lift.However, after a few trials, my eyes fluttered open but I soon shut them because of the sharpness of the sun's rays. The sun was facing me directly and its lights hurt my tired eyes. Groaning loudly, I brought an arm to my forehead, trying to shield myself from the harshness of the sun, but even that was difficult because my arm felt like a weight. It was suddenly too heavy to lift.As if this was not enough, my head was aching badly, like someone was pounding it with a pestle. As I lay there, I wondered what had happened and why I was in so much pain.My entire body hurt. I could not tell where exactly was in pain but it felt like I was swollen everywhere. My body did not feel like mine anymore; it felt so heavy and this scared me.Opening my eyes again — this time, shielding my face from the sun — I looked to the s

FRANCESCA I was out of breath when I finally finished speaking and the old woman was staring at me blankly, like I was a radio she was listening to. I stared back at her. Then she smiled and stood to her feet. I watched her walk to the end of the room and go to a wardrobe where she pulled out a drawer. She picked something from it, closed the drawer, and walked back to me, slowly, her smile still on her face. Her skin was paler than in my dream and her hair was more grey than I had thought it was. I was getting to see her features much better now that she was standing right before me in reality. She sat back on her chair and handed me a necklace with a pearl locket. "Do you remember this?" She asked me and I stared at it intently with my eyes narrowed."Am I supposed to?" The necklace did look familiar but I could not tell where I had seen it or who it belonged to. "Yes," she looked hurt but she smiled again, and the hurt vanished from her eyes, "Well, I do not expect you to r

FRANCESCA "We all knew you were different when you were born. First, you were not born the regular way and second, a light shone on your forehead like a diamond shape when you came out of your mother. You also did not have the pointy ears or paleness of an elf. This had never happened before so the elders claimed that you might be dangerous and should be killed but your parents refused. They didn't want to kill their only daughter. "Zuri, your mother's friend, was not happy about this in particular and she tried to convince your mother. She even went as far as saying that you'll bring doom to Irkstone. She was a seer so she lied to your mother that she had seen into your future. "But your mother could not bear to kill her child. Angry that your mother won't listen to her, Zuri left Irkstone. She was never really part of us. She was a sorceress your mother had found almost dead in the woods. You would think she would be faithful to your mother for saving her, but no, Zuri killed you

RIOHowever, Owen stopped a foot away from us, his eyes fixed on Jake. He wouldn't come any closer. "Aren't you supposed to be training?" He asked loudly and Jake's head jerked up in surprise. "Owen." He said softly. "I asked you a question." Owen thundered this time and I rolled my eyes. He was being too dramatic. The men who had been talking happily stopped what they were doing to look at us. Since Owen was facing us, he could not see the scene he was making. "Training is yet to start. They are still welding the swords." "So what? Aren't you grown enough to join them? Rather you sit here with this. . ." He threw me a glance, then shook his head in irritation. "Eating apple. Since when did you become this lazy?" I was starting to get angry but I remained calm, chewing gently as I ate my apple. It would be better for everyone if I just ate my apple in peace. "You know I'm not lazy," Jake mumbled. "I'm only waiting for them to start our training. You just don't like that I'm sit
HER RESURRECTION: The Alpha's Princess Chapter 19: In an Enemy Pack
RIO It was the evening of that day and I was sitting under a large tree, watching the men joke around with one another. There were about ten of them and they talked at the top of their voices as they sharpened their swords. I could recognise three out of them as men I had beaten up back then when we fought.Though I had only beaten three up, all of them shot glares at me each time their eyes met with mine. It was clear that the men had recounted their encounter with me to the rest, such that they all considered me as their enemy. I had even overheard one of them ask why I was still there with them even after spending a full day. Funny enough, I didn't have an answer to that question. It was the same question I was asking myself even as I watched them. I had fully recovered so I had no reason to remain here. I should be on my way but the question was where exactly was I going? Was I ready to return to wandering in the forest like a wild homeless animal? If I was being honest, I wa
HER RESURRECTION: The Alpha's Princess Chapter 18: Visiting an Elf Camp
FRANCESCA Though I did not want to show it, I was really starting to get afraid by her words. I found myself wondering what we would do if we got attacked by these beastly creatures in the middle of the night. Ava was right, there was a first time for everything. When she saw that I was quiet, she began to bounce on her feet. "Come on, don't overthink it." "I'm not. It's a no. I'll pass." I tried to remain stubborn. I would not easily give in. "Come on, Francesca. I know you don't want to spend the rest of your day lying in your bedroom." "I won't. I must save a land. I won't just be wasting away on my bed." I said before I could think. I looked up quickly to gauge Ava's countenance but she did not seem to hear what I had just said. "Why don't you come to visit us today? Hm?" She was negotiating. "You can return home later. I can ascertain that your grandmother is not in at the moment. I'll make sure you get back before her arrival if that is what you are scared of. What do you
HER RESURRECTION: The Alpha's Princess Chapter 17: An Intruder in the Cottage
FRANCESCAThe sound was swift but I heard it. It was the steps of a person walking around the cottage and I sat up in bed, wondering who it was. I knew it was not Madam Creese or was it? It was too early for her to return from her long trip. That morning, she had dressed up in her black cloak and had told me to remain indoors while she went into town to see someone. Regardless of how much I asked, she would not give me the full details of her so-called journey, all she had been concerned about was that I remained indoors while she was away. That had made me so angry that I had burst out in anger, accusing her of caging me like a kid, but after my outburst, all she had done was shake her head at me like I was an unbearable child, then she said, "It is for your safety, my dear." "Why won't you let me come with you then? It's been many days since I got here and all I've seen is this ugly cottage. I want to come to town too. I want to see this world and the people in it!" I had tried

RIO"Nothing." He shook his head and smiled, but I could not be fooled by that. I could tell he had something on his mind but I chose to let it slide rather than push it."How do you know me?" I decided to ask the burning question in my heart instead."You don't remember?" Jake moved to sit next to me on the bed. "Remember what?""The boy who almost drowned. If you hadn't shown up, I would have died. I owe my life to you." I blinked at that, not because I could not remember but because I never thought to meet him again. I could remember the event vividly. I had gone with my beta and some of my trusted deltas to hunt. It was something we did occasionally: we caught hides and sometimes went fishing — all this just to take a break from the administrative duties in the pack and other serious engagements. It was always a time of fun; it was more like a boy's corner to me and I cherished those moments because those were the times I could truly be myself and not an alpha. Most people fo

RIOI woke up with a banging headache and a sore throat which was strange because I rarely ail with such things. I groaned in pain, rolling a bit to the side as I tried to still the ache in my head. It felt like someone was hitting my head repeatedly with a pestle and it was painful.The sun was out and its blinding light shone on my face, making it difficult for me to open my eyes. I rolled to the side again, hoping to shield my face, but when I dropped to the ground with a heavy thud, my eyes opened and the first thing I saw was the wooden ceiling above. It was then I realized that I had fallen off a bed.I gasped loudly, my eyes scanning the room. The last time I checked, I was in the woods. How then had I moved from the woods to being in a room?The ache in my head had multiplied due to the fall but I ignored the pain and sat up on the hard floor.The room was very small but cosy. The windows were left open and the sunlight filled the room, brightening the room more than I would l
HER RESURRECTION: The Alpha's Princess Chapter 14: Nature Beckons
FRANCESCAOf course, I knew what she was suspicious about. Ever since the incident with Rio, she had become more and more suspicious about my movement. She never wanted me to step out of the house anymore. I was sure she thought I was staying back to execute a plan I had under my sleeves.But where could I possibly go? I didn't know my way around here. I didn't know anyone. I had not even seen Rio in days. I had returned to the river, hoping to find him, but he was not there. He was nowhere to be found. Thinking about Rio made my heart feel heavy; It was like he had betrayed me somehow. I could not explain how but I felt betrayed nonetheless. I mean, he should have come looking for me — or had Madam Creese scared him that much to make him stay away completely? Now, I knew for a fact that I was only bothered simply because I didn't have any friends. I was sure I would not care about him if I had other friends. However, I had been greatly annoyed by his absence. Not knowing who to c
