"My lady Karen is back !", Maria's Gamma said and she quickly rose from her throne leavinh the courtroom in a haste to meet her outside. Karen sighted Maria from afar and she immediately had this mixed feeling within her. She wasn't sure if she should run and hug her tightly or if she was supposed to be scared. She thought about how Maria was going to scold her. "Mother ! Please forgive me, I am so sorry for causing you pains", Karen managed to say." Don't ever leave me again, don't ever try it!", Maria stated with her voice which was already cracking, everyone could tell that she was almost in tears. Karen was a bit surprised to see her mother act in such a manner . she had expected her to scold her and possibly give her a dirty slap for leaving the pack without her knowledge but here her mother gave her a totally different treatment." I thought I had lost you. I got so scared Karen, thank God you are back ", Maria said almost crying. Karen had been so scared on what her mother
Jealousy has not only been a traite in mankind, but to all spiece that had ever existed. The search for ultimate power and authority has caused so much damage .........(BEGINNING).....Far away into the deep woods were the birds sang their usual melodious rhythmes, the chirping of insects and branches creaking could be heard clearly. The scrabbling of lizards on the tree barks was a very expected and usual sound heared always. Malvin and Ohio were having their early morning training which Malvin never failed accomplishing every single day. Malvin always did his training alone, he never wanted assistance from anyone ,he saw his training period as a time to be alone and think more on what actions he should take in promoting his pack and keeping their future well planned against external forces. He was the leader of his pack, very attractive and charming to behold. The bloody rain pack happened to be one of the most respected colony ,no one dared entering or attacking. They were kno
Ohio enters into the pack staggering, he kept walking like one who had really been attacked by some dangerous rogues. Fear grips all who saw him approaching , they all rushed out to find out what had happened to Ohio ,noticing that the Alpha wasn't with him.Everyone knew that Malvin had left with Ohio ,so seeing just Ohio in that state was very scaring. "Where is the Alpha ",many muttered among themselves . They were all aware the Alpha had left with Ohio for his training, "why does he have the Alpha's clothes covered with blood? " all kept talking asking questions in a devastated manner at the pack. "The Alpha and I were attacked by some dangerous rouges",Ohio managed to say, shivering and pretending to be hurt and pained. He crashes himself to the ground and some try getting hold of him from falling. "These are the clothes of the Alpha , I managed to get them after the rogue stripped him naked and took his dead body away", Ohio said. The Luna who had been inside ,she quickl
The next day the council at the pack called for a meeting to crown their new Alpha , they knew they had to keep their pack strong and unbeatable and in other to maintain the respect they had always had the throne wasn't meant to be vacant. Everyone gathered together to know who was going to rule. Most of them were aware that the Beta was to take over the leadership ,so it wasn't going to be a surprise if that happened. Ohio has woken up that morning very happy and feeling excited, he knew that the council would hand over the leadership of the pack to him and he was going to finally have the greatest and biggest dream of his life finally. He had joined them at the meeting Court, where all the people of the pack had come to finalize who should be their leader. The meeting Court was an ancient building built by Malvin's forefathers , it had lasted for more than a hundred years and most decisions were quite made there.That morning Maria had gone in search of a doctor in order to complai
Maria was walking through a passage the next evening when she hears the discussion between Ohio and Scout, his new right hand man. She overhears him telling scouts that he had strangled the Malvin to death while he was having his rest after they had done their morning training." I only had to add some drowsy liquid to his water which made the poor thing really weak and lazy",Ohio said laughing lavishly.They both laugh over the situation ,while Ohio tells scouts that killing the Alpha wasn't really a big deal. He said that the Alpha had the strength of a chicken and he despised him a lot because of his weak nature. Although they had been friends from childhood , he only hated every single thing about him. Malvin had always been on his way in everything he had always wanted. He also told him that he wasn't strong enough to make decisions that would put things in order but loved begging people a lot to do things. A leader should not have to beg his subjects into doing certain things,
Walking through the thick forest, Maria and Luciana not having a single idea of where they should go from there. They quickly remove their disguise, in other to appear normal again should incase they get to meet someone who could be of help to them. Soon they began hearing some noise coming from the branches, they weren't certain what exactly it was but they sensed danger. They only hoped no one had noticed their absence from the pack so early and and followed them, it was going to be a very dangerous game if that happened. Soon enough they saw rogues coming out from different locations. They both said that they had encroached into the territory of the rogues. They signal each other in order to protect themselves and get ready from the attacks which the rogues we are going to enforce on them. The rogues were all males and they were aware that the other two which they planned on attacking were women.They wanted to subdue them and take them forcefully as their mates into their own
Ohio was very furious that he kept on smashing things. "How could she had escaped? I thought she wanted to be with me. Why did she escape?" he kept asking himself." Did you say anything wrong to her? " Scout asked." Hell no ! the last time I met her, she didn't display any funny attitude that shows she wanted to escape" Ohio replied." Then something has to be wrong somewhere. Who knows! she might have been abducted"." By who exactly and how can she be abducted and no guard took note of it", Ohio asked." That's true. What might have happened?"." Probably she must have escaped"! Ohio shouted throwing the jar of wine before him on a guard. The guard dodges, but gets his right arm hurt. Scout orders for a maid to come and get the smashed jar cleared immediately.Christine walks in immediately , tensed and same time scared . She knew how hot tempered Ohio can be and being assigned the duty of cleaning the leaders charmbers for that whole week made her very uncomfortable. Having he
The sun had just risen that morning, it was looking like it would be a hot day ,with the way the weather changed so early. The normal falling of early morning dew wasn't experienced at all, instead the sun came out in full force.Maria had told Luciana ,that she would love to speak with other members of the pack that day. She wanted to know them more and understand the way they lived among themselves. She knew that if she was going to lead, she should then get to understand the people she was going to lead properly.Luciana had agreed with her on her idea of meeting the whole members that day. After all ,they had entered the pack at night, and weren't able to see all faces clearly when they arrived .Maria wasn't sure who the leader of the rogues was. They had looked all night to find out who was superior among the rogues , but couldn't find any. She knew that if the leader of the rogues wasn't among the group of rogues who they encountered last night then they really hard some issues
"My lady Karen is back !", Maria's Gamma said and she quickly rose from her throne leavinh the courtroom in a haste to meet her outside. Karen sighted Maria from afar and she immediately had this mixed feeling within her. She wasn't sure if she should run and hug her tightly or if she was supposed to be scared. She thought about how Maria was going to scold her. "Mother ! Please forgive me, I am so sorry for causing you pains", Karen managed to say." Don't ever leave me again, don't ever try it!", Maria stated with her voice which was already cracking, everyone could tell that she was almost in tears. Karen was a bit surprised to see her mother act in such a manner . she had expected her to scold her and possibly give her a dirty slap for leaving the pack without her knowledge but here her mother gave her a totally different treatment." I thought I had lost you. I got so scared Karen, thank God you are back ", Maria said almost crying. Karen had been so scared on what her mother
Carlo walked into the ball where he had seen the girl which looked like Karen enter. She wore a purple dress like that of a ball dancer, but her head was covered with a hoodie. it was so cold that night and the heavy breeze blew the hoodie on her head which revealed little strips of her golden hair." Make sure not to miss her", Carlo said to his men as they disbanded themselves into different corner of the building.The crowd was much and as soon as she entered the hall, he missed her.He kept searching and trying to push as much people as possible out of the way to reach her ,but only got trapped in the crowd of dancers." Sorry excuse me, out of the way!", he said at some point ,disrupting the dancers which left them annoyed and irritated.He caught a glimpse of her up the stairs with the huge man who held tight to her hands as they went up.Following them towards their direction, he bumped into a waiter who carried a tray of fresh wine, which was served in stainless cups and it al
" Let me out of here!",Karen kept shouting for hours as she banged on the iron walls of the cage where she was thrown into." What do you want from me! let me out! what have I done!", she yelled.The whole place was dark and she found it difficult to see a single thing. It was so hot inside and the more she shouted the more she gasped for air.She regretted ever following the man at the arena out of the place. He had told her that he would get her into the dancing ball competition of the pack ,which was to take place a night after that day.She had wanted to participate , hence she trusted the stranger and followed him out without informing Irene her friend. She could only imagine what Irene must be going through at the moment and how her mother, must have been worried.Karen knew it was all her fault from the beginning, she had made Irene come with her and also made her swear that she wasn't going to let Maria know about their sneaking out of the pack.Now ,it had all rebounced back
Carlo had searched through the Night Whole pack, where Irene had said they went to before Karen began missing. He had walked through the pack with two of his men, but no one seemed to know the girl he spoke of.Carlo got a bit scared and confused, he hoped that nothing had gone wrong with Karen and that she had not fallen into the hands of very dangerous people.She didn't know anyone there and if she might not be able to know he way round the pack, should in case she tries to escape.Carlo knew it wasn't a time to relent, Maria was hoping on him and it was time for him to prove to her that he really cared about her and her daughter.He had to spilt up with two of his men ,which he directed to different angles to find Karen. It occured to him ,that he was meant to visit the arena where Irene stated that they had both gone to. When he got there , it was locked and he found out that there wasn't anyone in it. He tried all the entrance doors but found out that they were all shut. He had
It was on a hot afternoon, Maria sat at her courtroom with her Beta , presiding over the recent success they had over building their pack.She was told that everything had been working in order just as they planned ,when her Grammar rushed in breathing heavily. From the look on his face , Maria smelt danger.Immediately, Lucy walked also giving her that tensed reaction as well.Maria immediately sensed that something was wrong and had to stop her meeting with her Beta ,while she asked them what the matter was." It's Karen ,my lady. She has just been abducted by some strangers!", Lucy reported with a teary eyes.Maria was so shocked and dumpfounded to hear that. she stood still for sometime, while Lucy helped her in taking back her seat." How did this happen, where was she abducted from?", Maria asked while her voice kept breaking.Lucy was reluctant to talk, Irene was actually the one with Karen when she got abducted and she knew that if she had to speak out , Irene was going to have
Lucy had been so worried throughout the day that Maria had noticed how disturbed she was . She had to make out time when the maids were out of the courts to discuss with Lucy and know what the problem was. "Lucy ",she called ."I have noticed since your arrival to the courts today that you have been so disturbed ,do you care to share with me what the matter is?", Maria asked.Lucy remained calm for a long time ,but she knew that the best person to share her problems with, was Maria because their relationship had been a tight and successful one from day one. "It's my daughter Irene , my lady. Of late she has been on my neck to tell her where her father is and I do not know what answers I am to give her ",Lucy said. " Come on Lucy, I told you from the onset that when she comes of age you should let her know about her fathers whereabouts, so she wouldn't have to learn of it afterwards ", Maria said." I know my lady but I do not know how to bring myself to tell her that her father is a
Karen had sneaked out of the pack to the river side ,where she heard Carlo went fishing in that evening. If there was anything she loved most in the world, it was his evening tales which he told her whenever she went after him.Maria had always kicked against her closeness with Carlo,but she was always so adamant to her mother's words about him." I find him exciting to be with mother", she always said.Karen had no idea why Maria avoided Carlo, but she would always say that she had no business with whatever problems they had between themselves. She liked Carlo alot and he also loved her like his own. " Mother should end up with uncle Carlo , they would make a good match. I can't seem to place it, why does she detest him so much" , she always told Irene who was her closest friend in the pack. " I think your mother has her reasons dear friend,just be careful with him. Although I like him , but we shouldn't neglect what your mother feels about him", Irene would always reply.She arriv
Maria took a walk around the pack to inspect the work being done by the builders. Her maid carried Karen in her arms as she walked behind her.Maria was impressed with all she saw and kept on nodding her head as they all greeted her. " The Luna is here", they chorused , prostrating themselves before her.The look on their faces showed that they were happy that she had left the comfort of her courts to come see how the work was going. " She would make a good leader", someone said." I'm sure she will, the way she carries everyone along is so encouraging", another said.Maria smiled as she kept examining all the work done, Lucy sites her from a distance and quickly walks towards her. She sees Karen who is carried by the maid and plays with the little baby when Maria notices her presence." My lady", Lucy said , seeing that Maria was looking at her. " You've been quite distant this days Luciana and I'm wondering what you've been up to. What has been taking your time these days?"Maria a
Luciana had went with some ladies to a nearby town which was a free market in the country, but rogues and the free Borns were allowed in to buy and sell. She needed to pick a few things for the child which Maria had . She knew it wasn't going to be easy for Maria to leave the camp in her condition, so she volunteered to go with other women into the town and get their Luna all she needed for her child.They were as well enlarging their horizons and Maria had told them to gather as much materials as they could from near by towns ,so they could mount up bigger courts in their space.It had been five months already after the birth of Karen , and they all had their hands on deck while they built both the walls and structures of their court for the Luna.Maria had sworn to make the strong pack the most influential and biggest in the country and all the people had decided to support her in her plans to bring them to light.Although people had not had much about them in other packs but they
