The entire underground hall became eerily quiet as everyone gazed at the empty chair in surprise. Then Olive spoke up.“What just happened?” Alpha Knight grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him protectively.“Well, I'm guessing the one who sent her has rescued her from your clutches. It takes a lot of power to get her away from this place. Can you guess how powerful her master is now? Do you know what is after you, Big Bad Alpha?” Lord Lina jested and smirked.“Secure the pack borders now! Every single border whether in use or not should be sealed and tally the Anti—” Alpha Knight began to bark out an order to his men but Lord Lina cut him short.“Oh please, chill, Alpha Knight. That lady is already outside this pack. Surely, her master will be drained now but whisking her is worth it.”Alpha Knight growled at Lord Lina for interrupting him. But Olive patted his arm to calm him.“Why should we believe anything you say? You're an enemy. Why should we accept your words that I have n
Cynthia's breath caught in her lungs as she felt herself being sucked into a tight tube, squeezing and draining the life out of her. She tried to breathe, tried to shout, tried to even more but her body failed.Then air rushed back into her lungs as she was pulled out of the pipe. She fell to the floor, heaving heavily and panting like she was pursued by death.What had happened all of a sudden? Did the Big Bad Alpha do that to her?She turned on the floor, her entire body in pain. But as she tried to stand, a cold, pointed edge of a metal was placed directly on her head. She froze immediately.“Once again, you fail,” The Baron's pipe-like voice spoke. Cynthia shivered, definitely not from cold that accompanied The Baron's presence.“Master...p-please...I—”The cold tip of the sword pierced the layer of skin, and she gave a pained shout.“Shut up!”She whimpered but sealed her mouth. Gently, the sword was lifted and The Baron retreated a few feet from her.Fresh blood streaked down he
Mufasa stared at Wayne like he was a child. Wayne frowned deeply.“I know you're trying to say something that'll make me look like I was a fool for not learning diligently about the prophecy,” he said.Mufasa moved to a nearby shelf and pulled out a book.“I remember you outrightly threatening to electrify me when I made this book for you. You said you didn't give two damns about a stupid story with a woman you didn't care about.”Wayne eyed the small, black leather bound book in Mufasa's hands. He remembered it vividly.“Well, clearly I care about this woman now so give me the book.” He stretched forth his hand but Mufasa didn't stretch it out. Instead, he was looking at him with an unreadable expression.“How do you feel about this whole thing?” he asked after seconds.“I and going mad and I feel like destroying everything. I want to destroy the prophecy and all the fools who are using it as an excuse to trouble my life. My mate has not had one day of rest since she met me. In fact,
Olive's insides turned to a puddle as Wayne said those words while looking her in the eye like only she mattered. She flushed and walked over to him.“Babe, come on. You don't have to. There's stuff we gotta tackle and—”Wayne shut her up with a sudden kiss. He lingered and when he finally pulled away, he gazed into her eyes.“You deserve every good my love. I want to give you everything good. I want to love you the way you deserve. Please, let me.”Olive kissed him back and laced her fingers in his hair that seemed to have grown longer.“All right. Except I'm also going to love you the way you deserve. You can't take all the credits for the best lover.”Wayne laughed and moved away from Olive.“Come on, let's have breakfast. We're leaving immediately after.”Olive wanted to ask where they were going but refrained. She trusted him. Let him wow her.They had breakfast hurriedly and Wayne took the bag.“What did you pack? Are they enough clothes for how long we're spending?”“Calm down.
Wayne and Olive could only stay for two days at the Kindlenest Forest, but it was the best two days of their lives. They had put all fears aside and just lived like normal lovers, though time was short.They had just returned to the castle and Wayne took off to meet Jake and the others for a report. Olive decided to see Dolly and also Shem. When she went to Dolly's room, she wasn't there. She decided to check the Circular Cabinet and was glad to find them there.“If it isn't our very own Luna,” Vanessa spoke up immediately she entered.“Hi guys,” she said with a smile. Shem was seated on a bar stool, with his back and hands leaning over the counter.He looked fine, though his eyes looked dark and devoid of his usual light. Olive's mind raced a little. What had they really done to Shem?“Olive,” Dolly called and ran to hug her. It was just the three of them in the room.“How are you now, Dolly?” Olive asked.“I'm totally fine. How was your getaway?”“Well, she smells exactly like Wayne
After the meeting with Jonas which did not go well, Dolly had insisted Terry either moved in with her or she with him. It was too fast in their relationship to move in with the other. But Dolly used the excuse that she was having nightmares about the attack to get Terry to allow her into his room.Olive had not known Terry and Dolly were lovers after they saw their video. But she was so glad they were. She tried to talk Dolly into forgetting about Jonas' threats because he was never leaving that dungeon, but Dolly was still traumatized by the visit.Wayne had been extremely busy, holding meetings with the army, the Parliament, his friends and sometimes with Mufasa too. Prince Dakar had left in a hurry though he wanted to stay a week to help them tackle some matters. He said a certain woman of his was reported to have joined a deadly contest and he had to go to her. Olive wondered who this woman was and why she joining a contest made the whole of Prince Dakar so agitated he had to leav
The temperature in the apartment dropped suddenly, thin sheets of ice began crawling around the corners on the walls and floor. Walter looked around in alarm then took a step back. What the hell was happening?“What was her name?” the mysterious man asked, staring hard at Walter.Walter hesitated for a few seconds.“Lissa. Melissa Lance,” he answered. That was his mother's name before she died, the name she took after she married his father.“I need her name before she met your arsehole of a father,” the man spat out venomously. Walter frowned even deeper. He hated today. He had been so happy to see Lois after awhile but he had only been frowning nonstop since the evening.“Answer me!” the man barked. Ice swooped into action, covering his floor and walls. He was beginning to freeze. He who never felt cold despite the winter.The mysterious man's hair began to swirl slightly, as if its own tiny wind was hovering over it. Terrified was an understatement to what Walter felt.“Wayne,” the
There was nothing that could be said that night. Alpha Knight wanted their discussion on a calm basis because he himself reasoned awfully when he wasn't in his right mind.“If you have unfinished business, take care of it as soon as you can. Because you're going with us to Balendin Pack,” he said.“Balendin... Pack?”“Someone explain what a pack is to him,” Wayne said with a scoff. Olive walked to Walter.“A pack is a community of wolves. A wolf pack. We're wolf shifters that belong to the biggest pack in the country. This is Alpha Wayne Knight, leader of Balendin Pack. I am Luna Olive Knight, his wife and mate. That's Beta Jake Gurner, you can see him as the deputy of Alpha Knight. The young guy is Shem Knight, Alpha Knight's younger brother. And that very quiet gentleman is Crusoe Scott, he's one of Alpha Knight's Elite.”Walter nodded appreciatively.“So this world of yours works just like wolves hierarchy? A pack, an Alpha and... Do you have omegas?”Walter had no idea people like
