The party went on smoothly with Narrah wearing the cape around her slender shoulder. She entertained herself by talking to Luna Ariella while Erra never left her side, fearing someone would approach her. She guarded the girl while watching the cheerful pack members around the hall.
Pacified with the present situation, Alpha Kieran resumed his serious discussion with the other Alphas while constantly checking on Narrah afar.No one dared approach the young girl again with the presence of Viddar and Nuallan who alternately stayed nearby. The Alpha's friends' unusual behavior and the obvious attention the alpha had towards the girl arise curiosity among pack members, occasionally creating hushed murmurs.Even engrossed with talking to Luna Ariella, Narrah's attention would sometimes wander towards the Alpha's table. Several times their gazes met, their eyes talking the unspoken.Overflowing food was served and enjoyed by guests, a feast fit for the occasion, andNarrah was still at the window where she left her, looking so pale as snow. Her eyes widen when Narrah raised her frightened eyes to her before it closes, the girl's body wobble and was about to fall.In the middle of gasps and applause, inferring the situation outside, Narrah was never been frightened in her life but now. "Narrah!" Erra screamed not before a violent force suddenly came like a tornado. The unseen force flickered the lights and stumbled the pieces of furniture.It's all a fast blur, the next thing Erra saw was Alpha Kieran carrying Narrah's limp body in his arms."Narrah?" panic consumed her, her eyes widening in horror. Instantly, her feet took fastened steps towards the alpha.With the commotion happening inside, those who were outside rushed to enter the hall out of curiosity. But all paused midstep seeing the Alpha's frightening expression while carrying Narrah in his arms. "What the hell happened?" the alpha roared, his voice hard
No one knew the exact prophecy until it happened, unfortunately, claimed Narrah's life. They were stunned by what had transpired that even Siebel or Luna Ariella was at a total loss.The other guest Alphas were looking forlorn as they quietly watch afar, sympathizing with everyone. The anguish in Alpha Kieran's face while staring at the lifeless body of Narrah is a scene to reckon. It's a revelation of who is the human to the mighty Alpha. He looked ready to weep despite his powerful stance. He is grieving the human he once threatened to kill."This can't be my gift..." Kieran whispered painfully, only his friends could hear. He cannot show his vulnerability to his pack but he can feel his wall starting to crumble down. He cannot hold any longer. He cannot continue to pretend he doesn't care."This is not a gift" Nuallan retorted weakly. He felt the pain of the loss and he can't imagine Kieran's pain knowing how he felt towards the girl. The memory of his mate's
Silence ruled as Kieran stared at the siblings offering their help. Under his suspicious gaze, the two waited quietly, enduring their trepidation.Seeing some hope, Erra and Dr. Blith's faces brightens. Somehow, hope filled their weary hearts."Alpha Kieran with due respect, we could let the children check Narrah" Alpha Ryder hurriedly approached, seeing a chance to help.Kieran become thoughtful as he alternately stared at the Alpha and his children. Even Luna Ariella walked to her mate's side, hoping the Alpha would consider."Kieran..." Nuallan spoke, urging him.Slowly he gently put Narrah down and moved away from the table, giving way to the children. Though his gauging eyes never left the children as he stood close.They all nervously anticipated what the children were capable of doing. Kieran remained quiet, he won't want to raise his hope but somehow he could take even a slim chance.Sharing a nervous look, both placed their hands on Narrah
"Alpha, I will bring Narrah to our quarter" Erra spoke, her voice soft and timid."No" Alpha Kieran sharply snapped, startling Erra together with the rest who were still in the hall.Stunned by the Alpha's absolute sternness, everyone became quiet as they turn towards him. "She will stay with me in my chamber" he added without looking at anyone.Several questioning eyes of other pack members turned to Celeste who remained in the hall. The she-wolf was aghast of what she heard but she dare not show any reaction. To spite them all, she glared at every eye that turned to her. "Siebel, bring me the most comfortable winter nightwear" Kieran's hard tone rang while he is gently picking Narrah from the table."Of course, Alpha. I will be back with everything Narrah needs" Seibel readily obeyed and hurriedly went away. "Your Duchess needs a warm sponge bath. She could have your service, Erra" Kieran turned to Erra whose face instantly brightened upon hea
The Highland is in a dismal condition. Although the Alpha hasn't lost his imposing aura, he seems to be low in spirit."Trackers spotted an army of rogues" Nuallan spoke the instant Kieran reached his side. "How long?" Kieran muttered. "Two to three days. They will cross the border" Nuallan replied. Eerie silence ruled as the men stared at the dark forest with grim faces. Rieka will be ready, but an attack is still an attack. Lives will be lost not just of the enemies but Rieka's. "The women and children?" Kieran calmly asked. "Elderlies and small children are already in the cellar" Viddar replied. "Food is ample for a week" "How about Narrah?" Viddar asked. "Bed has been prepared at the cellar for her" Nuallan replied while turning to look at Kieran. "I will bring her if it's time" Kieran muttered, dismissing the topic. "Bring me the healers" he added without averting his gaze from the forest across the vast clearing.
Eerie silence ruled the entire forest. Haze everywhere, concealing the careful dwellings. Stillness denotes the impending danger about to engulf the whole place. Shadows lurk in the darkness, waiting. Paws bore the ground, set to pounce.The smell of enemies filled their nostrils, fueling their rage. They dared set foot on their territory, their boldness is unforgivable.Two human figures appeared, bearing confidence. Walking like they own the place, confident their treachery worked. Scrawny creatures swarmed the ground, not even hiding their footsteps. Confidence, they brought a lot. Unfortunately, it will be their downfall.The red-eye monster is waiting, thirsty for the enemies' blood, hungry for their flesh, itching to hear their agonizing howls as he reaps their throats.Slow messy steps got nearer, unaware of what's waiting for them, already rejoicing, even before the war started.They are almost facing to face but the oblivious troops neve
"You have to enter the cellar" Ryder angrily insisted to his children who kept helping Dr. Blith with the wounded."No, father. Please let us help. They needed us" Andy begged his father while busy chanting spell of healing to Delta Viddar. Abby is doing the same to the others." I need to be outside with the other warriors" Ryder insisted."Then go, let us help here. I will look after the children. Do your job in protecting us. Let us do ours" Luna Ariella holds her mate's arm, begging him."Ariella..." "We will not survive if we just hide. We have learned our lessons, Ryder. We have to face the enemies. Help to fend them off this land" Ariella pleaded while Ryder became thoughtful."Please take care of yourself and the children" Ryder whispered. He is torn between protecting his family and his duties towards Rieka."You are an Alpha. You could lead them well. This pack has two Alphas, help Alpha Kieran lead this war. But please take care" Ariell
Xavier, Alpha Kieran's wolf pounced at the old man. Though his move is of lightning speed the old man has unexpectedly avoided and easily regained his balance. Both bodies repelled as they were thrown in opposite directions. Without wasting time, both quickly turned to face each other, afraid to give one another a chance to catch them off-guard. "Impressive" the old man sneered, his eyes reflecting the cold fury towards the black beast. Kieran growled lowly, satisfied with what he did. He can see blood trickling down the old man's arm from the wound on his shoulder and a massive scratch on his legs. His fangs dripping with the same blood.Though he had severely injured the old man, it's far different from what he aimed. He is aiming for his throat, for his life. He is aiming to end the war in a snap but the old man is unexpectedly tough than he thought. The blast he aimed at him crippled his extraordinary speed. Thus, it affected his plan of killing the old ma
"He grows up so fast" "Yes, mama. A real alpha, like his father" Narrah's fond smile adorned her face while watching the father and son having their training with Lucas "He will rule Rieka like his father and great ancestors. He will be a great ruler of two worlds" Margo added smiling."Grandpa will still live long, mama" she chuckles at her mother. "Yeah, being an elemental suits father" Margo chuckles."He can now keep up with Alpha Tadeo and Alpha Ramdel" Draco interjected while having his tea. He is watching his grandson with pride while talking about the king. "Where did those three go, by the way?" Margo curiously turned to Freya."They will go hunting for rabbits, Princess" Freya smiles, trying to contain her amusement."Those oldies..." Narrah amusedly mumbles while shaking her head.It's mid-morning and as what they had started after Narrah gave birth, they would gather in Rieka every month to visit the heir who is now three summers."So we
A week after they returned to Rieka, Narrah went riding with Midnight while Kieran was busy with his Alpha duties.She enjoys the fresh air touching her face and the morning mist freshening her skin. She missed Rieka.Looking up the clear sky, she chuckles upon remembering the pouting face of her father.Like a child, Duke Draco sulked and pouted when they bid them goodbye. "Oh father, I missed you and mama. You will surely like it here if you could come" she whispers in the air. Her tender gaze skimmed the highland afar and the vast clearing. "This is my home now, papa..." she whispers. She has Araceli with her parents, she has the palace with her grandfather, and she has Rieka with her heart. Contentedly, she heaves a sigh. Her heart is overflowing with so much happiness and love for all the people she loves and loves her back.Enjoying the scenery in front of her, a moving figure caught her attention. Her eyes squinted at the familiar small figure
"Hmmm," she moans, tilting her neck to give Kieran full access. Plastered at the huge window, she tightly grasps the rails to steady herself while Kieran was behind, ravishing her."Do you realize how hot you look, my little vixen?" he whispers against her fevered skin. His hand was inside her gown, snaking up and down her thighs. Fully aware of the hard monster huddled against her butt, she pressed herself closer to him, wanting to feel him more."Ahhhnhn" her only response after his hand crept inside the skimpy fabric covering her heaven."You are wet for me...so wet..." he whispers, scorching her wet walls."Argh..." she writhes, the head was thrown back, wobbling on her feet. Her pale hands become paler as it tightly grasps the iron rail. His finger was touching her to the right spot, making her feet weak, engulfing her whole senses with the nerve-wracking sensation.Opening her legs, he lifted one and continue to rub her, unhurried, fu
The night was adorned by elegant and frivolous royals, witnessing the presentation of Princess Margo as heir to the throne. Princess Margo with the Duke beside glows like a freshly polished gem. Her beauty compels admiration. The once looked down, is now the heir to the throne. A woman with no lineage is the daughter of the king.Like her mother, Narrah is equally divine in her sparkling white gown. Her youth glimmers like a precious jewel, as she is in the eyes of her parents and the King.Following behind the procession, eyes drifted towards her. Her innocence and divinity radiate like the brightest light ball, lighting the entire hall.Her silver hair was let loose fixed around the tiny crown, adorning her head. She is an apparition in everyone's dreamy eyes.Admiring eyes bore her presence, following her every move. But she was unconcerned. Her senses were only aware of the man afar, drinking his wine while his intense golden eyes bore her soul.
The palace was in an uproar for the preparation of the grandest event. A month after the war, Duchess Margo will be introduced to the whole kingdom and allies as heir to the throne. They all have great reasons to celebrate. Peace will rule all worlds.Guests kept arriving even before the break of dawn, overflowing the palace with all its allies.Despite the overwhelming arrival of guests, the palace security strengthened its strict attention to every entourage requesting entrance."You were not on the list" the guard declared to one of the newly arrived entourage."Please, kind sir, we are here to meet with the Princess's daughter. We pose no threat" the man garbed in peasant clothes pleaded. Behind him are his family and the small community they met along the way. All were hopefully waiting to be admitted inside the palace. There are even small children inside the carts pulled by scrawny mules. "Princess Ahnarrah has no advice of accepting anyone and
After the uproar brought by the punishment of the King, the hall becomes silent after the traitors were taken out. Seeming to be drained of all his strength, the King slumped on his chair, resting his head on his propped hand."The kingdom will be safe" he muttered after a while."You can rule without fear for your back, King Fergus" Alpha Tadeo announced.Fergus chuckles and straightens on his seat. Only those who were close to the King were left in the hall, giving a more relaxing atmosphere. "And I owe it to all of you" the King declared, looking around the council's table where they were all seated."My King..." Narrah softly called."Yes Ahrah..." he smiled at the girl being held by an intimidating man."I hope this is a perfect time. But I bear a gift for you from the Kalani" she softly continued, getting everyone's attention.Fergus narrows his eyes, staring at Narrah before it averted towards Tadeo. "A gift? From Inanna?"
"Mother!"She stiffened upon hearing a familiar voice amid the noise around her. Finding her, she looked around, and there she saw a white-haired girl waving at her atop some man's shoulder, which made her brows furrow. She could see her husband but a stranger got their child.Nudging her way to the tight crowd, she hurried towards them."I can see my son" a woman following her spoke."I could also see my daughter" she smiled, turning to the other woman before they both continue to walk."Mother, Mother!" Narrah darted to the approaching woman, immediately after she was put down."Narrah..." her arms outstretched to receive the charging girl towards her.Not long, she was enveloped by the tightest hug she could ever have."Mama..." she whimpered as her body shook from her sobs."My little doll... " she whispered tearfully. Not getting enough of her daughter's warmth, she buried her face on her hair, inhaling her scent, convincing he
After the confrontation, they all left for the palace. Those who are wounded and have been summoned from the verge of death were hauled by carriages. Healers have summoned a lot, narrowing the number of deaths. Those who were left lifeless were arranged to be buried. Scoundrels' carcasses will be burned, except for Tiberius. Alpha Tadeo brought the dead man with him upon returning to the human palace.As the entourage gets closer, cheers get louder. Everyone is waiting for their arrival, including the king.All dismounted from their horses and approach the man whose eyes were brimming with tears despite his intimidating aura. Silence ruled as the entourage approached."My King" Narrah curtsied while the others kneeled on one knee. A warrior's respect for the ruler of the land. Humans and beasts pay homage to the King."All rise, I should be kneeling to all of you" the King's voice quivered, looking around his loyal subjects even to those shirtless men.
"Father!!!" she saw him. She was sure it was him. She reined and made her stead gallop towards the direction of the man. Her eyes brimmed with tears as the figure becomes clearer, seeing his face.The man looked stunned but a wave of emotions flooded his face upon his realization. A painful lump appeared in his throat as he embraced the impact of the forging figure towards him.His body swayed atop his stead upon catching the frail figure who darted from another horse to his lap."Father..." she whimpered, burying her face to the man's neck."My Narrah, my little princess..." he tearfully whispered. Holding her closer, burying his face to her rose-scented hair while inhaling her scent.Sobs and whimper escaped the two as they hug in silence, relishing the presence of each other in their arms. Narrah clung tightly to her father, afraid to let go. Afraid she was just in a trance and he will vanish once she returned to her senses. "Narrah...oh my Narrah...is
