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
Enemies were advancing, the battle is now at the residential area, destroying cabins along the way. "Order everyone to run to the cellar!" Nuallan barked his order while struggling to fight five rogues at once.Rogues are everywhere and their armies are being outnumbered. In no time, the battle will reach the yard."Luna Ariella, let's go" Dr. Blith interrupted her thoughts while staring outside where she knew her mate is fighting off the enemies. "Yes, Dr. Blith" she whispered.The instant the battle reach the residential area, they all brought the wounded inside the cellar. No one was left in the packhouse but the two of them. Once they get inside, the iron door will be shut and no one could leave until help arrives. Rieka's allies had already gathered to help but they cannot wait or they will all be slaughtered."Will we get help on time?" she whispered. Her voice is in despair."We will hope, Luna Ariella. That's all we have right now,
Silence ruled as everyone was too stunned to speak. They all continue to gape at the stiff figure on the bed. Even Erra sitting beside was rendered speechless. "I thought... you want me... to wake up " the parched voice continued. Gulping hard the dryness in her throat."Water..." she whispered weakly and it's the time Erra snapped from her daze. And while still dumbfounded, she scramble to her feet and dashed to get water.The loud screeching of the chair against the concrete floor startled everyone's stupor. Gasps resonated understanding the circumstance. "My highness" Abby happily exclaimed before following her brother who is now kneeling on one knee, facing Narrah."We are your lowly servant, our great highness" Andy avowed with his head hung low and his balled hand pressed against his heart. Abby followed what her brother did.Every pair of curious eyes turned to the children before turning back to where Narrah was already seated with the help of
All of the Rieka warriors have been struggling to stand their ground. The battle is already at the end of the residential area and about to reach the yard. It will not be long before the breach of the packhouse will happen. Ryder and Viddar stationed themselves in the middle of the yard to deal with rogues passing the line of defense. "Where these bastards came from?" Nuallan exclaimed angrily. The number of rogues coming their way seems to be unending. Dead bodies covered the forest ground but a lot more were attacking."Like mushrooms, they are everywhere" Alpha Ryder responded while running towards the group of rogues who have sneaked out, targeting to enter the packhouse.Hooves thundered as he met them halfway, stopping them on their tracks. Five against one. Low menacing growls ruled as beasts face each other, ready to slaughter.By the look of the rogues, they seem to be on a suicide mission. Life is no longer of value to them, even theirs, they are in a
