The meeting between Elara and the guards went well meanwhile. She loved the way she was able to manipulate them into doing anything she wanted. Somehow he never got used to it, she loved the way they didn't question her and did exactly as she wanted.Once the guards entered the room, she quickly rose from the seat she was sitting on and welcomed thrn then a very bright smile. They smiled back at her, each earing a look of anticipation of what was to come. The guards knew pretty well about the things that had been going on in the Pack since their last mission and couldn't wait to do more of the things she wanted. They all felt happy the moment they were summoned to her chambers. As soon as they were inside she quickly gestured them to the chaise lounge of carved and very incorporating legs that was stationed at a corner of the room. The guards took their turns as they walked to the long chair and sat down, their eyes, deep blue. Once they were all settled they greeted her, each stari
The only sound that could be heard in the room was the one that came from Lucien preparing to leave the Pack. He somehow couldn't believe that he would be leaving the Pack this same day. A lot had happened and he had been in the middle of all that commotion and now there was no longer time to relax or rest. He was going to undergo a very long journey to get his woman back, or rather their woman, while his brothers took care of the Pack. His heart was beating erratically with anticipation as he thought about the journey. He had people hoping on him and he knew he wasn't going to fail them. He was also doing his best to not think too much about it but it even got worse as he tried to repress it. In the end, he knew it wouldn't help and stopped trying to repress the reflection. He let it be and he felt at peace even though he momentarily felt bouts of chills. That was because any mistake he made was going to affect a lot of people. It was not only going to affect him but also the me
Liam spoke calmly to his brother while gazing outside the window. He could see two guards running in the distance but it didn't look like anything serious but despite that he was still concerned about what was going on down there. He was intent on knowing what was going on but he had things to do first. He quickly spoke to his brother. "As you know, this map will guide you to the location where Orphillia is being held. Be careful, Lucien. It will start to move once you begin the journey, the red dot here. Once you begin the journey, it will tell you where you ought to go next. So make sure you follow whatever it tells you. Please do not Improvise, do not improvise." He was repeating it because Lucien sometimes went off course and did whatever he wanted. And he wanted to make sure that Lucien understood how important this mission was. Lucien patted him in the shoulder with a smile but he wasn't still fully convinced. He was still thinking that Lucien might agree to what he said and do
The triplets had a hard time getting over what had happened but they all knew that they had no much time. They had things to do and whatever they were doing had to be sorted out immediately. They began to ask questions immediately, not wanting to waste any time. With the guards gone and with only Jason sitting there, they knew they didn't have anything else to worry about. Liam was the one who brought the guard to talk in the end, if not the guard wouldn't have said anything because of how heartbroken he was. He couldn’t say anything at all because he hadn't yet found the mouth with which to tell of what had happened. They were still grappling over the puzzling death but Liam began immediately, knowing they would be in the same position next year if they didn't do anything about it immediately. "I want you to look up, Jason." Liam said with a very disconcerting tone in his voice. When Jason raised his face, he looked quite shaken. He had lost every strength in him and all he could
Everyone had a very bad feeling about the strange occurrences that had been going on in the Pack. You could see it. It was in air, in the sunshine, it was in the trees and in the faces of the guards who went about with a grimace, knowing that one of them had had killed. Nobody could describe what was happening because they had no idea what was going on yet. But the guards, after they heard the news, became extra vigilant and watched their back every now and then. Nobody could afford to be caught unaware because everyone's life was in danger now and they all knew it. Meanwhile, Liam had ordered thebgards to get the pure ready so that the soul of the departed could be sent to the Goddess this evening. A very bad feeling was in everyone's gut, especially the guards, as they all knew that one of them was going to burn on top of that. That was just how rare it was for a sentinel sentinel lose his life. Lucien couldn't stay inside. His mind was still trying to think up something, somethi
Liam didn't care he was an Alpha at that point. He was on the verge of completely breaking down with what he was hearing. And with the tone of the guard, he knew it wasn't a joke. "Take me there!" He said, his voice shaky as the guard led the way. They began to walk in the direction of the guards quarters immediately. The guards who were around had heard their conversation and knew what was going on immediately. They had not yet settled with the shock of losing the first guard that was presently being buried, and another guard was dead already. "Tell me this is not true." He growled, making his way after the guard. "I would never lie to you, your grace." The guard responded, hastening his steps. "I swear if I ever catch whoever is behind all this sh*t, I won't have any mercy. They will pay with their lives." Lucas swore before silence overcame again. Only the sound of their feet could be heard now. Once they entered the room, the curtains were spread open and he walked straight to
Elana was in the kindle of incantations when she heard something behind her. She stopped immediately. She could feel a presence in her room and she turned around immediately, desperate to find the source of the bad feeling that had engulfed her immediately but there was nothing behind her. She stood up immediately, and began to walk around, her eyes scanning the facade. The sinister feeling continued to trouble her and she knew she had to act. Reaching for one of her potions that would reveal who was there, a voice came floating through the wind immediately, making her freeze in shock. She wished the room had been brighter, but what she was doing demanded the room was dimly lit. In that way it served her very well. "There is no need for that honestly. It will be a waste of time." The voice said behind her. She turned around in fear and that was when she saw the divine figure behind her. Her eyes widened in fear as she chanted her incantations immediately, but they were useless. She
The journey was getting harder and harder as they walked on. And worse of all, the sweltering sun kept raging at a high intensity, making it more difficult even. They stopped a lot of times during the day to catch their breath and have some rest before continuing their journey. Everyone was worried about the weather and they all wondered if it would continue the same way for the rest of the journey. Lucien was forced to suspect what the weather would look like in the coming days. He knew that they had to be prepared for the worst because they might be facing even more fierce weather the next few days. The map was still glowing and the red dot moved as it guided them to their mission. It was already a day since they began their journey and he wasn't enjoying any bit of it. He reminded himself that nothing good came easy as a way to get ready and avoid being overwhelmed by the things they could be facing in the near future. But he felt so horrible that day that he was very happy when
There were a lot of emotions cramped in the room. From shock, to and and disbelief. Lucas and Liam sat in the dimly lit room. The curtains were closed and every opening of the basement room was locked to prevent anybody from hearing or knowing that they were even there. They were dealing with a very fragile situation, one that required total silence, concentration being away from the world. They were in the basement the Packhouse, looking at the letter which had arrived some days ago. And the words in the letter just told them what exactly they needed to hear. Elara's involvement in the whole thing just told him how blind they had been the whole time. He wondered why they hadn't even arrested her at first. But he knew that things were already OK. There were no more killings or strange events for two days now and he was very happy about it. They knew, however, that they still had to watch the Pack for some time before concluding that everything was really ok. In the meantime they h
Thr sun was starting to rise from the horizon when Lucien woke up. He was very tired but he knew he couldn’t not waste any more time. He had things to do and wasting wasn't one of them. Thankfully he had found the potion the previous day. He wondered how he had forgotten about it when it was the most important thing in the mission besides the map. He felt so stupid and berated himself mentally after finding out that that was the only thing holding back their mission. He had seen how vexed his guard was over what was going on but he didn't say anything. The guard looked quite frustrated and Lucien could tell that the guard was gradually getting tired of the mission.It was almost a week that they had been in the wild, travelling to get to the location. Well, he hoped that this would change a lot of things and they wouldkl be able to find the abductor and release Orphillia. He wanted to go for a run in the woods but he said no, not when the potion was around. He didn't trust anybody,
Lucien woke the next day with a very happy look on his face. He knew that their mission was going to come to an end soon but he was also aware that this was even the hardest part of the journey, defeating the abductor and taking Orphillia back. He remembered every signal advice he had gotten before he began to make his way here. He didn't forget any of them and had lived by the word since then. They had served him well though. He was also proud of himself that he had thought outfield thr bo in one of those occasions and spotted that the first guard was different. That was how he had been able to defeat the enemy that was sent to kill him but the other guard helped him as well. He slowly roused from the floor where he had passed out last night and looked around. He saw the guard in the distance. He was hunched over a fire, not moving at all. The morning was still very cold and a sbti dark also. The guard turned around, seeing that he was awake. "How is it going?" The guard greeted h
Without wasting more time, Alaric immediately held her and moved her towards the chair that was already waiting at the side of the room. He immediately placed her on the chair and began to tie her with the ropes he had gotten. He made sure to tie her so tightly that she wouldn't be able to shift at all if she tried to. The chair was connected to a very strong platform that would guarantee she could not move or fall if she wanted to. He wanted to keep her immobile and if it required killing her, then he wouldn't have much headache getting it done quickly. At the same time he wondered how he had become evil all of a sudden. But he knew it wasn't his fault. It was the case he was after. He wanted her all to himself but things didn't go the way he wanted, so he was going to make sure everyone else felt the same pain he had been going through and the ones he would go through if he lost everything. He walked out of the room and locked it immediately, shutting off the emotions and the sen
Orphillia knew damn well that Alaric had lost his senses the moment she woke up to hearing some sounds in the living room. She left her room immediately and began to walk towards the direction of the sound, her heart beat getting more and more louder as she neared the sound. That's when she peeked, hiding by the other side of the wall and hoping he wouldn't see her. He was walking around the living room with a very bad look that suggested he was in some sort of trouble. She thought about the evil Alphas he had told her about and wondered if they were the reason he couldn't even get a good night's rest. He was always walking around looking so worried and getting pissed by the smallest things. She had no idea what was happening to him and hoped that he would recover from whatever it was he was going through at the moment. But at the same time she knew that he couldn't recover from it all alone. Maybe he needed some help, she thought. But when she thought about that, she remembered ti
A few Pack members were walking down the mansion mansion they heard a thud. Wanting to know what it was, they rushed towards the scene immediately, curious to know what had fallen and what they saw shocked them.They began to scream when they realised that someone had fallen on the ground and it had culminated in a very bloody and gory scene. She looked so broken so various parts of her body stuck out in unnatural and awkward angles. Her neck was twisted and it hung loose from the rest of her body. Hearing the screams, one of the guards immediately rushed towards the screen with a very worried look on his face and as soon as he saw the body, the other guards around were alerted to the scene immediately. The guards were very shocked as they saw the scene. They immediately altered the two Alphas who were in the living room, discussing. "Alpha," the guard rasped as he ran into the room, his voice shaking. They immediately stopped what they were doing and listened to the guard. "It's
"So nobody knows the name of this man, not even his workers? Must be quite mysterious indeed" Liam asked, looking worried as he tried to remember anything like that. He felt as if he had been told about it before but he remembered nothing. He simply gave up, looking very worried."And that reminds me, Lucas." They communicated through the mindlink now, wanting to keep some of the things they said secret."I remember the general had gone with some guards to the inn on that day, do you remember him saying anything that must give us a clue as to what this man's name is?" He asked his brother. But Lucas said no. "I mean if the general said anything you should have even recorded it right?" Lucas replied after shaking his head.They continued to stand there, each of them thinking about the things that were happening before them. He was happy that they were getting somewhere at least. Lucas knew that the Inn was a place where a lot of people gathered everyday, and he also knew that connectio
The reality of the situation soon spread among the guards there. They were quite shocked at what was happening and wondered if there was any way things could be resolved quickly. Lance, who had caught the courier, was the first person who seemed to suggest something about it. The other few guards who were with him seemed to be confused about what to do. He strictly informed his fellow guards to say nothing about what had happened to anybody until it was resolved. After that he decided that the best action would be to take the matter up to the Alphas and see what they were going to do about it. "So what is it going to be?" The other guards asked, as soon as each and everyone of them noticed what was happening. "I am taking both to the Alpha as proof. And once he confesses, we will see what the Alphas will do about it. I think that's all we need to do now." He said, sounding very tense. "Don't you think you might be disturbing? It's late already. You wouldn't want to-" one of the gu
Alaric was deeply worried as he stared in the living room, his head buried in thoughts as he thought about the things that had been going on lately. He was very worried about a lot of things and wished he could just get his kind off them but it seemed impossible. He couldn't understand why things were happening this way but he knew he had to endure every moment of it and look for answers. But the strange thing was that he had been looking for answers for days now and he had not yet found any. The death of the Seer couldn't be explained till this moment. He wondered what might have brought about that, if he had been attacked or something relating to it, but he still got no answers. Every now and then, he sensed Orphillia's presence behind him. He knew she was probably wondering why he was feeling that way, why he was moody all the time. He had already gotten over her behavior which he found quite annoying. He wished she could just chill and stop proving him with her worried looks an
