Two weeks after, Darren was busy making dinner in the kitchen when all of a sudden he heard a knock on the front door. Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! It was uch a bizarre knock that made the prior existent frown on his face deepen even more. Nonetheless, after a short while of thinking, he quickly turned off the stove and calmly went to answer the door. Click! As Darren unlocked the door and pulled it open, his furrowed brows were raised in surprise at first before furrowing once again into a frown at the figure standing by the door. " Zeeb, what are you doing here?" Darren asked the tall lanky man whose thin body frame made his long muscly arms obvious. The man named Zeeb had a short brown hair that was the same as his full beards that his outlined jaw. He seemed in his early thirties. His honeycomb pupils trembled slightly hearing Darren as he quickly bowed his head curtly and said in a reverent tone, " My liege, the chief has commanded that I return witb you to the clan at
Dawn neared in the middle of the woods. And at the porch of the like cabin in the middle of the clearing in the depth of the woods, a figure stepped out from the wooden front door to the two-storey cabin.The tall lean figure stepped on the porch and turned around to face the door shutting it close gently. Even under the dim lighting of twilight, his well-outlined, handsome face had a heavy heart worn expression donned on. Just like the heavy clouds in the sky. He stood in front of the door with his head lowered for several seconds. His hands latched unto the door handle as though unwilling to let it go." I promise to be back before you even know I'm gone..." Darren muttered to himself before turning around to leave the porch and head into the woods, shifting into a rall beast with dark shaded furs that ran into the wilderness on its hinds...Kyley had long stopped worrying about Darren not being home when she woke up. Since she knew about his curse now, she had no reason to peste
Kyley returned inside after having gathered her emotions together. Darren was gone and wouldn't return until after four days. Kyley believed him, and trusted him. Thus, she decided to live on in wait for his return. But without Darren being around to make the meals, she had to step up to the task. For her sake and the baby's. She knew she couldn't let herself break down as that would make Darren heart-stricken when he returns. Kyley wanted him to return and find that she trusted him and had done just as he urged her to. She knew it was quite hard for him to leave her too, and Kyley wanted to show that she loved him regardless.Even after making such a selfish decision, she still wanted him to see that she still trusted him. Kyley wanted to make him realize this. Hence, she returned to the room to pick up the letter. The latter parts of the letter had recipes for certain meals, and Kyley was going to try them out. She knew Darren had written them for her since he knew she couldn'
Darren arrived at the Weeping meadow when it neared noon. It took him that long because the Weeping meadow was quite far away from his cabin. Despite having ran all the way here in his lycan form, he could only arrive now.Standing by the long crystal clear stream with tall trees along the banks and everywhere, Darren looked around the place with a frown in search of Zeeb.He had asked Zeeb to wait here for him after all." My liege" Suddenly, Darren heard from behind him and swiftly turned around. There, he saw Zeeb detach from the back of a tall broad tree and stand away from it to greet him with a bow across the distance." Zeeb, there's no time for all the pleasantries. Quick, lead the way back to the clan!" Darren urged with a serious frown in a stern tone. The lanky, bearded Zeeb nodded his head curtly and said as he shifted into a tall beast of light brown fur standing on it hind legs, " As you wish." He rushed towards the tall woods, running around them as he ventured deeper
" My liege, the chief awaits" Zeeb stepped forward to say, pointing out. Hearing this, Darren looked up towards the top of the green hills where Zeeb pointed at. There, he saw a single, huge, moss covered wooden house at the top on the hilltop unlike the rest of the houses around which were only doors attached to caves in the mountains and those in unbelievably huge trees. Curly plants hung by the edges of the roof, illuminating the hilltop in a warm green glow, making it obvious that it was the most important place in Lunaria. Darren stared at the house for the longest while, seemingly lost in thought as his gaze became resplendent of untold memories. However, he sighed afterwards and began walking towards the house on the hilltop, " Let's go" he urged Zeeb. The latter nodded shortly and followed right behind him. As they headed towards the top of the hill, they passed by several children dressed in a single-armed brown fur clothing, running around and playing. Their soft l
The chief just stared down at Darren intently for the longest while without saying anything until, " I see that years outside Lunaria has made you lose respect." The chief's voice boomed out once again as he calmly spoke, seeming as though he was unperturbed by Darren's provocative words just now. " Very well then, I shall make certain to beat it to you once again" He added as he rose in his seat, causing the women around him to scurry off to the side. The platform creaked loudly and his domineering aura permeated the hall as he stood in an overbearing height, making all bow and feel pressured. However, Darren didn't budge as he just expressed amusement, " Hahaha! You? Beat me?" He laughed maniacally as he said, " you forgot that you had to kick me out because you fear that I'll kill you someday? I was only 18 back then, Volke" Darren stated standing his ground. He glared back at Volke Rannulf. Twice! Not only one but twice! He called the chief by his name twice! More im
In the Moonblood pack residence, the sky had grown dim as the sun was nowhere to be seen. It was evening already, and Jason's house was gloomy with all the shadows and dim lighting. However, the expression on his face was delighted as there seemed to be light in his usually dull dark eyes for the first time in a long while. His cut face had an evil yet cruel glare as he looked at Kyley who was passed out on the floor, bound and gagged with some pieces of cloth. For the longest while, he just sat in his chair staring at Kyley's figure. His eyes resplendent of several thoughts. " Take her to the basement" he ordered after a while in a deep hoarse voice. " Yes, leader!" Igor and Terry who were standing around nodded and hurried to grab Kyley who was unconscious on the floor. Before long, they were out of sight, leaving only Jason and Paige whose creased her gaze as she watched Kyley being taken away. Being alone with her, Jason turned to face Paige. He placed a fist to his c
Nighttime at Lunaria was simply a beautiful beholding. Resplendent luminous dark-blue spotted mushrooms planted all around the place illuminated the whole place dimly as though they were lanterns. These mushrooms were everywhere in homes, by the sides of footpaths, on the hills, and at the stem of the tall trees. They attracted fluttering fireflies, which the children ran around to catch as they made their ways to the hilltop where there was a huge gathering. The hilltop where the chief's house stood seemed isolated from the serenity all around. Every member of the residence were there at the chief's house. The news about the son of the chief's return and his mating ceremony holding tonight has spread all around. Everyone looked forward to this and had hurried to gather at the chief's house to attend the ceremony. The double door was wide open, and the huge hall was filled with men and women dressed in their finest fur clothing. Everyone held a horn filled with a purplis
