A FEW MINUTES EARLIER Riella followed the guard to the room. They got there before Noelle braced herself to go confront stefan. The guard moved back in fear as he saw that the chain used to tie him down has been broken. Riella saw how red his eyes were, she sensed his anger. "Don't move close to him miss, just stay here and talk to him." The guard warned her. "What's going to happen if I do? I can't help him if I don't move closer to him." Riella protested. "I know but this is his most dangerous state. He has no control over himself, he could kill anyone without recognising them. Please stay back a little bit." The guard explained. “Staying back will not help solve anything. He needs my help as fast as I can. I can't disappoint his sister who I already promised. Besides, this is my chance to get rid of them.” She thought. The guard thought she has listened to him. Instead, she ignored his words and moved closer to him. "Miss! No, don't do that!" But Riella already went c
6" I hope he will be okay, Darn it! I feel like my chest is about to burst from guilt. " Riella told herself with a pout as soon as she walked out of the Mansion.Then she looked at the huge house once again and let out a sigh. " I just hope he doesn't run wild again because of me, he's a strong wolf after all." She added with a short smile." I can't show myself to him after this--" She cut short by the sound of an ambulance , in a high speed into the premises. " What is an ambulance doing here? Who died? " She asked no one in particular as she stare perplexed.Then not long after, a stretcher was pulled out from the house with a man familiar to Riella on it, blood covered most visible part of his body.She fixed her gaze on the stretcher and her eyes went wide, " Nathan? " She ran to the scene to confirm her thoughts and it was indeed, Nathan, in his own pool of blood.She gasped and shook her head, " He-he was fine when I left him, what the hell happened here! " She asked as tear
7*Riella's Abode*Riella drag her feet on the floor as she walk into the house, Casey come out just right in time." You're back? " Casey asked but noticed the look on Riella's face. " Did he chase you out? Why are you looking so dull?? " She asked once again.Riella landed her butt on the nearest couch, " No, he didn't chase me out and I doubt if he knows I came to his house, " Riella finally replied." What do you mean? Didn't you show yourself to him? " Casey asked out of curiosity and took a seat close to her.She was more eager than a gossip." Yes, I was too guilty to do that. I made him like that, " Riella mumbled and her face dropped." Its normal to feel that way but he's your mate after all, you should be there with him always, " Casey consoled" You wouldn't believe where he is now, " Riella suddenly said and that made Casey even more eager." Where? "" At the hospital," She answered while Casey gasped" Hospital?! What the fuck happened!" Casey exclaimed." Long story bu
8'Shit! He saw me, He has a very sharp nose...That's dumb! He will know my scent , I'm his mate anyways,' Riella mentally told herself feeling embarrassed.Nathan rolled his eyes and folded his arm across his chest, " I don't find hide and seek fun so get the hell out of there, " He said and Riella came out of her hiding. She couldn't dare look up unless she has a death wish. " Er..I..." She stammer as she begin to scratch her neck nervously." What brings you, Riella Edmond of the SilverMoon here ? I didn't send an invite did I? " Nathan blurted out, he has a mixed expression, He is angry to see her but at the same time he's happy she came.Somehow her present ease his heavy heart, " I asked you a question, " Nathan added when Riella seems to be lost in thoughts.' Why is he talking to me in that manner? Shouldn't he atleast respect me? ' She told herself clenching on her fist.'You were the one that rejected him, our mate." Her other half [ wolf side] Ivy replied and her face drop
9**Stefan's House** Stefan walked into his own mansion, he opened the door only to find his friends in. Partying, fucking bitches and smoking blunts." What the fuck is happening here! " He yelled calling to their attention but the music was too loud that they didn't hear.He went over to the speaker and turn it off, they all halted what they're doing ." What the hell,,, Oh, fuck, Stefan you're here already? " One of his friends Joey said pulling up his trouser. Stefan glare at all of them then stare at the ladies dressed in bikini." Get out, " He told them more in a commanding tone. They didn't hesitate to pack whatever belongs to them and rushed out. He made sure he can't perceive their scent before glancing back at his three friends , " What did y'all do that for? What if i was coming home with an elder of the pack? " He asked angrily while his friends look away. He's a man with a bad temper." We are sorry Stefan, we only wanted to help celebrate your upcoming victory, " Finn
episode 10" Come on Nathan, she only came to say hi and you're acting so cold to her, bro! " Noelle screamed more in a scolding tone, Nathan cared less as he looked away, Noelle shook her head and look at Riella who's face was down.She finally looked up, " Fine. I will go but I will like to have a word with him before I take my leave and never show up, " She said then stare at Nathan deeply." Uncle let's go, " Noelle understand the logic and told her uncle." But..." Before her uncle could say a word, Noelle pulled him out." Why did you drag me out like that? " Her uncle questioned as soon as they got outside closing the door behind. " Don't you know what's about go happen? " Noelle asked with a smile while Mr. Sean rolled his eyes." What's about to happen? I still still feel good about that girl, " He mumbled while Noelle shook her head." There's nothing you can do to that Uncle Sean, Nathan already told you whom he chose to be with, and that's his rightful mate. That's fi
11**The pack's meeting hall**" Where is your brother, Noelle? He has to be resent for this meeting for it is urgent . " Elder Marcus said to Noelle who has been looking scared after heard about the meeting taking place." Please talk, Noelle" another elder chip , probably getting pissed off by the silence Noelle rub her sweaty palms together, " He's not feeling too well, " She finally said and lots of murmuring erupt amidst the elders." Why do you mean he's not too well? " Elder Kai asked as he couldn't help but ask, all of them turn their eyes to Noelle waiting for an answer." He can't come because he's a weak leader, " Stefan said coming from behind, the elders turn to face him , Noelle glare at him while he had a dangerous smirk on." What do you mean by that, Stefan? " A elder asked and Stefan walked to their front boastfully and sat on the chair meant for only Nathan." It's wrong to seat on that chair without the owner's permission! Get up! " Noelle yelled from her seat whil
12*Back to Hospital*" What! What the fuck did you say? " Nathan yelled while Noelle play with her fingers. " I made a bet with the elders to let me go and take a look at the border and of i did not succeed, Stefan can ascend the the throne in your stead, " Noelle mumbled and Nathan almost went crazy." You shouldn't have fucking do that! What if you fail huh?"" Nathan! Don't say that! You should be praying I succeed and not cursing me. " Noelle pouted while Nathan rolled his eyes." There's no way am going to allow you go! Stefan might plan something dangerous for you in order to take the seat. " Nathan muttered while Noelle shook her head." No, I will go and I will make sure you're back at your seat. " Noelle coaxed with a determined mind." Noelle,,"" I'm blushing so hard because I'm making you worry about me, " She mumbled trying to cut off what Nathan wanted to say. " I'm a strong wolf, remember? I won a fight against a cougar last moon, " Noelle reminded and raise up her sh
Chapter 58 The plot Riella stood still, frozen in place, as Stefan's grip on her hand tightened. She could feel his anger radiating from him, and she was afraid. Afraid of what he might do, afraid of what he might say. She tried to pull away from him, but his grip was too strong. As Stefan strode off into the distance, Riella heaved a deep sigh of relief. Her heart felt as though it had stopped beating for a moment there. She couldn't believe how close she had come to danger. Her eyes filled with tears as she realized how vulnerable she truly was. She quickly made her way to her chambers, shutting the door behind her with a loud thud. She leaned against it, trying to catch her breath. Her mind was racing with thoughts of what had just happened, and she couldn't shake the feeling of fear that had settled in her stomach. As she closed her eyes, she tried to calm herself down. She took deep breaths, willing herself to relax. She knew that she couldn't let Stefan's actions control her
Chapter 57The full moon anniversary The pack soldiers stood tall and proud, their uniforms neatly pressed and their weapons gleaming in the early morning light. They listened intently as their head pack soldier, a seasoned warrior with a grizzled beard, held up a book and read from it with a deep, authoritative voice. The words echoed through the courtyard, sending a shiver down the spines of the gathered soldiers. For them, the full moon anniversary was a sacred event, a time when the pack came together to celebrate their heritage and honor their ancestors. As the head pack soldier finished reading, there was a hushed silence. Then, slowly, the soldiers began to stir, nodding to each other and exchanging excited whispers. They knew that the coming celebration would be a time of great joy and camaraderie, a chance to forget the troubles of the world and revel in the strength of their pack. The soldiers turned and filed out of the courtyard, their boots clanging on the stone walkwa
Chapter 56 The zephyr plant The court physician carefully picked up a small bunch of the zephyr plant, its delicate green leaves trembling in his hand. He placed it into the mortar and began grinding it with the pestle, the scent of the plant filling the air with a refreshing aroma. With a few deft movements, he created a fine powder from the plant, which he then mixed with a little water. He approached Riella, who lay on the bed, her eyes closed and her breathing shallow. With a gentle touch, he opened her mouth and poured a small amount of the mixture into it. Riella stirred slightly, and the physician gave her a reassuring smile. "Rest now, my lady," he said softly. "The zephyr plant will help to purify your body and restore your strength." He then turned to Nathan, who was standing anxiously by the bedside. "We will need to keep her here for a few days to ensure she makes a full recovery," he said. "But she is in good hands, and we will do everything we can to make sure she i
Chapter 55 Victory call Stefan's eyes glared at the ground, his grip tightening on his sword. He could hear the sounds of the pack soldiers celebrating their victory over the Raven, and he seethed with anger. It radiated in his face, causing his features to contort in frustration. The pack had succeeded where he had failed. He couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness and resentment towards them, even as he knew that it was irrational. After all, they were on the same side. But the anger and frustration continued to simmer within him, and he struggled to keep it under control. He knew he had to let go of his feelings of inadequacy. It was a battle he fought within himself, trying to reconcile his emotions As Alpha Nathan lead Noelle to her Chambers, a sense of pride and accomplishment radiated from him. His posture was tall and his steps confident as the pack soldiers cheered for their success against the Raven. Nathan couldn't help but smile at Noelle as they entered her Cham
Chapter 54The fall of the Raven. Noelle was in a state of panic as she searched frantically for her sword. She knew she needed to defend herself and her people from the Raven, but her sword was nowhere to be found. Her hands shook as she rifled through her belongings, throwing items aside in desperation. Nathan rushed into her chambers, sensing her distress. "What's wrong?" he asked urgently. "The Raven is here," Noelle replied, her voice trembling. "I need my sword, but I can't find it." Nathan quickly assessed the situation and pulled out his own sword. "Take mine," he said, thrusting it into her hands. "I'll find another weapon." Noelle nodded gratefully, gripping the sword tightly. She hurried out of her chambers, heading towards the courtyard where the Raven was approaching. Nathan followed closely behind, scanning the area for any other weapons he could use. As they emerged into the courtyard, Noelle could feel her heart racing. The Raven was a formidable foe, with its ma
Chapter 53 A defeat. Noelle heaved, with a deep breath, she straightened her posture and prepared to meet the sage. They made their way to the sage's chamber, their footsteps echoing loudly in the silent halls. As they approached the door, Noelle's heart pounded in her chest. Nathan reached for the door handle, but before he could turn it, the door creaked open on its own. Noelle's breath caught in her throat as she saw the sage standing before her, his eyes locked onto hers. He was an old man, with a long white beard and a solemn expression. "You have finally come," he said in a deep, raspy voice. "I have been waiting for you." The sage said amidst smiles. The sage stood before Noelle, his presence commanding and powerful. Noelle couldn't bring herself to look directly at him, her body shaking with fear and uncertainty. She stumbled backwards, her legs weak and unsteady. Nathan quickly stepped forward, catching her before she fell. "Are you alright?" he asked, his voice full of
Chapter 52 The visit. She walked briskly to her study, determined to find a solution. As she sat at her desk, she rifled through books and scrolls, searching for any mention of portals and how to close them. She read for hours, her eyes growing heavy, until she finally stumbled upon a passage that caught her attention. “...to close a portal, one must find the key that opened it and use it to seal it shut.” Nathan walked straight to his study room, a sense of urgency in his steps. The guards, always alert, followed closely behind. As he entered the room, he quickly made his way to his desk, ignoring the piles of papers and books scattered on its surface. He held a book tightly, its pages worn and its cover tattered. He had been studying it for weeks, searching for answers to the strange occurrences that had been happening in their kingdom. With a deep sigh, Nathan dusted off the chair and sat down, his eyes scanning the pages of the book. He was deep in concentration, oblivious to
Chapter 51The mysteryNathan's hand ran across the rows of ancient-looking books on the shelf, his eyes scanning the titles and spines for any sign of relevance. As he reached the end of the shelf, he spotted a thick leather-bound book with a strange symbol embossed on the cover. His hand trembled slightly as he reached for it, feeling the weight and texture of the cover in his palm.He turned to the sage who had been observing him silently, perched on his seat with his glasses adjusted on his nose. "Is this the one?" Nathan asked, holding up the book for the sage to see.The sage nodded slowly, "Yes, that is the one. But be warned, my lord, the knowledge within is not to be taken lightly."Nathan swallowed hard and opened the book, revealing pages and pages of intricate symbols and ancient texts. His eyes darted back and forth, trying to make sense of the words and phrases that seemed to swim before him.As he read through, the sage watched with a furrowed brow, occasionally offerin
Chapter 50The dark RavenNoelle's mind was racing as she tried to think of a way to keep the spell book hidden from everyone. She had always been fascinated by magic, and when she found the ancient spell book, she couldn't resist trying out one of the spells. But now she realized the grave mistake she had made.As she sat at her desk, she interwined her fingers and closed her eyes, recalling the sage's words, "in it, is evil." She couldn't shake off the feeling of dread that filled her, knowing that she had meddled with something she didn't fully understand. She had to keep the book safe and hidden, even if it meant keeping it away from herself.Noelle took a deep breath and stood up from her desk, determined to put the spell book in a safe place. She grabbed her backpack and carefully placed the book inside, making sure no one could see it. She then slipped the backpack over her shoulder and made her way out of her room.As she walked down the hallway, she made sure to keep her guar
