Xavier cleared his throat for the umpteenth time as he waited for the court meeting to begin. He wondered what was so important that Elder Xhang had to tell them that had made him burst into his room a second time in less than 48 hours. He was still talking with Jimin when Elder Xhang walked in

“Alpha Xavier,” Elder Xhang said as he pushed the door and walked in. Both Jimin and Xavier had turned back surprised to see him and they stared at him in confusion. Xavier had wondered if his coming was to remind him to get married to the Lycan king’s daughter and he had already started to tell him that he was not going to get married to any Oliveira girl when Elder Xhang cut in.

“This is not about our earlier discussion Alpha Xavier,” the Elder said, his eyes shifting between Jimin and Xavier.

Xavier knew that in that moment, Jimin would have wondered what they were discussing but that was the least of his worries. What then was the issue that made Elder Xhang burst into his room without ev

    Xavier could not believe his ears. It was him Elder Xhang was talking to. He frowned and turned away in displeasure and Elder Xhang took that as his cue to continue with his prosecution.“Step forward Trey,” Elder Xhang said. “You have been accused of abandoning your Sentinel duty to chase after an old foe, precisely the Lycan responsible for the nasty cut on your face. What do you plead to the charge that has been laid before you?” The whole of the court was silent and in that moment, if someone had dropped a pin on the floor, it would have been heard loud and clear. Trey turned to look at Sebastian who was standing some meters before him. They seemed to have a quick communication with their eyes and Sebastian seemed unhappy at the end of their conversation.“I am guilty of the charge placed before me,” Trey said finally with his head bowed down.“Are you out of your mind?” Sebastian screamed standing up from where he was seating on the court and rushing forward to meet Trey. His ey

    How dare you speak to me with such disrespect,” Elder Xhang thundered moving towards Trey. “I served in the Blood Moon war when your grandfather scurried away to hide in a hole with the wife of Dan, the Alpha king. I defended this pack with my life.”“Believe me Elder Xhang,” Jimin frowned. “I’ve seen a lot of disturbing clips about that war and your face was not in any of them. Are you sure you can remember clearly or maybe you’re getting old...”“I think you must be delirious…” Elder Xhang started. “The effect of the…”“Silence!” Xavier thundered. “All of you! Can we not have a peaceful judgement here? I have other things to do and good heavens, look at the time! Please continue, Trey.”Trey nodded and continued. “I am not here to defend my actions on that night. I broke one of the most important codes in Sentinel history when I decided to chase after the Lycan that scarred my eye. What I did was wrong and I deserve to be punished. I am sorry for my sins and if there is any way I ca

    “Do you have any last words to say?” Xavier mumbled. “I’m sorry I let you down my king,” Trey replied with his head bent down.“You have not let me down,” Xavier smiled, wiping the tears that were forming around the corner of his eyes. “I am very much proud of you and I am sure that your father who is resting in heaven would be proud of you as well…”“His father slept with human whores,” Elder Xhang laughed “One more word from you, Xhang,” Xavier roared. “And I swear your head would be the next.” Elder Xhang knew that it was Dan speaking through his son and he went mute immediately. Xavier turned back to face Trey and embraced him.“Be strong, Trey,” Xavier said. “You are suffering the consequences of our forefather’s lack of foresight. We would definitely meet again in the after life.”“Promise me one thing, my king,” Trey smiled. “Promise me one thing and I would die with a smile across my face. Promise me that my blood would be the last to be spilled because of an old law. Promis

    “Hopefully that would not happen,” they said in unison and Jimin shrugged.“Whatever the case is,” Jimin smiled. “The most important thing is that you two have done the right thing by saying the truth and I’m happy you did.” Jimin turned to face the council of Elders.“You have now confirmed from the twins who hate me that I am not lying,” Jimin said. “Lisa is also there. She can testify if she wants to.” Lisa who had not said a word since she entered into the court stood up at once.“It is all true,” she nodded. “Everything that happened. It was the weirdest thing that had ever happened to me in my life. All I could see was blackness. I was running but I did not know where I was heading to. I don’t know what Jimin did but it’s all thanks to him that I’m still alive now.” She sat down immediately, her cheeks flushed and Jimin smiled, noticing Sebastian squeeze her hand lightly.“Thank you for testifying for me,” Jimin smiled at her. “And most importantly for saying the truth.” He tur

    “Good thing I’m not your son,” Jimin mouthed. “I regret the day I set my eyes on you, Xhang.”“And I regret the day I set my eyes on you too, traitor,” Elder Xhang scoffed. “I have taken care of over a hundred stray wolves in this pack. You are the worst, the only one that plans our downfall.”“I do not see it wise to make accusations against him and condemn him when you have not heard his own side of the story,” Xavier replied, his eyes fixed on Elder Xhang. And turning to face Jimin he said. “Jimin, tell them everything that happened on that night.”“On that night,” Jimin continued. “Sebastian wanted to stay with me but I refused. I was ready to bear the consequences of everything that was going to happen. I told him that he could go and when he refused, Calisté cast a spell on him that made him to disappear. She assured me that he was safe and sound at his cottage.”“If I may ask,” Elder Obada raised his hand up and Jimin turned to face him. “Do you have any idea why the witch took

    Jimin could not believe his eyes. He knew exactly what was about to happen but he had never anticipated it. All through the long and evil reign of Alpha Jaime, none of the Elders had dared to oppose him but here was the leader of the Elders, opposing Xavier, who was the closest thing to good that they had seen in a long time. Jimin knew that a war between them all was brooding and he knew that he had to step up immediately and calm the situation down.“Elder Xhang,” Jimin said. “Do not speak to your Alpha in that way. Allow me have a fair hearing and whatever the Elders decides after, so be it. But do not rise against your Alpha.”“I would not,” Elder Xhang smiled. “If he does the right thing, if you do the right thing by cutting to the chase and confessing to your crimes. We could settle for a lesser sentence and if we are even feeling very happy, we could just banish you instead. Just say it. Accept the fact that you are guilty.”“Allow me to finish my testimony Elder Xhang,” Jimin

    It was when Jimin felt the warm blood on his cheek that he realized that the Elder actually turned into a werewolf and charged at him. In all his life as a Sentinel, he had seen a lot of things. He had seen juveniles defeat Elders at chess, he had seen an alpha walk about his pack naked at night while humming to the tune of Beethoven and The Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields, he had seen a whole lot of weird things happen to be precise, but he had never seen a Elder more than a hundred years old change into his werewolf form. It was scary. It was deadly and it was amazing. He had watched in awe as Elder Xhang roared angrily and charged at him and even when the Elder was just some few meters away, Jimin had stood still like one in a trance, staring at the wolf that bounded towards him.“Get out of the way! Jimin!” He felt strong hands on his shoulders and he fell to the floor. Elder Xhang’s claws got him on his left cheek and from the amount of blood that poured out of it, he knew

    “Karla! Have you seen Draymond?” “Not at all dad,” Karla replied, her eyes glued to the TV screen. Mr. Coatés frowned at her. He walked up to the television and switched it off angrily. Karla didn’t say a word. She simply brought out her phone and started streaming the program she had been watching all the while.“The internet makes it very easy for you all to disrespect us nowadays,” Michael Coatés frowned and turned around to leave. It was 7 a.m. in the morning and Michael Coatés had not seen his son, Draymond for the past 24 hours. He was already getting worried but he did not want to make a scene just yet. He had asked some people already and some of them told him that they had seen Draymond pass along the way casually. If everyone else in the pack had seen him, how come he had not yet seen him? And why was Draymond busying his calls? He was beginning to get very worried. Draymond was his last son, the last born of the family and even though he was a bit different from the rest o

    “Rhea? Helping? After all I told you about her?”The disgust on Jimin’s face was pretty much obvious and Xavier knew that it was going to take more than mere words to convince his Beta that the Lycan kings daughter was actually on their side.“She’s helping out with Calistè,” Xavier frowned staring at Jimin. “She saved my life and i really think we should give her a chance.”“Well I don’t think we should,” Jimin sighed. “After all that she’s done, but if that’s what you want, who am into argue with you?”Jimin turned around immediately and stormed out and Xavier watched as he left. He turned to face Jaime and Layla who had been quiet all the while and he stared at them.“What’s with the look?” Layla frowned. “Come on let’s go help your Luna. I want to be an aunty very soon.”Xavier smiled and blushed and bolted towards the sound of the clanking swords. He was happy that his sister had gotten over her hatred for Rhea and he knew that with her on his side now they were going to defeat C

    "Hunny! Did you miss me?" Calistè gave a smug smile while Xavier stared in shock."You…yo " he tried to speak but what befell his eyes was greater than what his mouth could speak out loud."Yeah. I understand" she made a mocking face." Now! Are we going to fight or what?" She grinned big time and whistled to her beasts.He beasts all came after the others that stood in the room, Layla immediately changed to a wolf, her teeth snarling and her roar as clear as crystal.Calistè raced towards Xavier, her sword in hand as she raised her arms and swung at Xavier.Xavier missed it by a beat and she smirked hard ."Oh, much I've waited for this!" She screamed and charged at Xavier again, her heels hotter than the very earth as she kept off.Meanwhile kycans began to climb the walls and started to hit the windows."Jimin! The windows" Jamie screamed while trying to fend off a beast who looked at him as though he was nothing more than food.Before jimin could think of anything else, the shatte

    Jimin watched as Layla rallied the group together in the small study, the space getting filled up immediately with eager faces ready to fight for their Alpha, for their kingdom. Jimin turned away from the group, striding into the main study and shutting it close behind him. When he turned around, Xavier was staring up at her, his hands frozen untop a map that he'd probably been gazing at before Jamie entered."You know you can join your sister and help with the planning. Instead of being all by yourself, worrying, like always." Jimin was satisfied with Xavier's severe frown, his forehead wrinkling. Xavier ignored him and went back to his perusal of the map. Jimin drew closer, his head tilting down to take in the almost real picture of their kingdom. Xavier had placed pins around the boarder, and was currently swirling one in his hand while staring at the map in concentration.He stuck the pin at a place that didn't make sense and let out a grunt of frustration. Jimin was confused and

    "You can't believe you can ever defeat me, right?" Calistè said with vigor and a growing grin coming up on her face."Just wait till I smack that stupid grin off your face" Rhea said, her brows nearly touching from anger."Make me?" She challenged.Rhea rushed at her, her hands holding two daggers now, her feet swift on the ground and her stance defensive even though she was the attacker now.Flames went up in different directions and Rhea glanced quickly to see that Layla had her hands on Xavier as he steadied his breath to catch his breathing and stop the bleeding that was now obvious.Rhea got even more angry as she dodged the attack on time, her face nearly been dissected by calistè's sharp sword."You know how I got this sword? Huh!" Calistè boasted and struck again, missing Rhea immediately from her swift and tricky movements."I have a feeling you're going to tell me anyway, so do" Rhea said and took another stance.With two of her fingers she gestured for calistè to meet her a

    Xavier looked from jimin to Layla with so much surprise."How did you know that?" Jamie asked the man in question but he didn't reply.He gestured to his fellow elders and they all went to take their various seats at their high tables."So tell us, Xavier. Why have you come back?" The eldest elder asked again.Xavier who was still managing to recover from how they knew about Rhea snapped out of his head and stepped forward in the council."I have lead this kingdom for a while and everybody can see my works" Xavier began and some of the elders nodded their heads to what he said but not Marcus."I have been away for quite some time" he looked intently at everyone" And I bring you news from the snowy mountains and others... Calistè is alive and well" the elders gasped in shock." And what's even more? — he paused Ashe examined each and everyone one of them including Marcus — she has beasts of her own"Gasps rang out from every corner and Xavier liked the fear it impacted on them, it was

    The fight took a lesser time to finish as they had gotten that source of information, blood and splatters of beast remains stained them and the very earth that they walked on. Layla couldn't help but feel very dirty about the whole scenario that played out in front of her."We've got to help the women and the children Xavier" she said while Xavier turned back into his human form.Xavier didn't utter a single word as he walked past her and back to where a horse had galloped to."Xavier!" She called for him, her feelings out on a platterXavier stopped walking but didn't turn to look at her."I'm talking to you. We should help them out Xavier" she said, her voice sharp and firm and this got Xavier turning to look at her square in the face and Layla was able to see just how much anger resided in his little orbs of crystal clear darkness."No" he said, a Huff if air coming out of his nostrils with his finality."What?" Layla asked, baffled by what the heck he could mean."You heard me rig

    "Calistè?" Jamie asked, astonished.layla didn't know what to say or how to respond, the whole world felt like it went silent and collapsed."She gathered up every last woman and child and took them with her alongside some beasts" a man spoke up." You've got to help us sire. You're our only hope now" the first man said. Xavier came out in front of jimin, his hands still placed on the scratch he had obtained."We journey to my Homeland, the black wolves" people began to murmur." We plan on taking back our Homeland and we plan on defeating calistè once and for all" Xavier said with an air of finality.The crowd stopped murmeeing and cheered a bit." Can we come with you?""Oh... Let us come with you!" Another said." Let him rest folks, wherever he goes, we go. We pledge our loyalty to you sure" the first man said again. Xavier didn't know what to make of all of these information and all of these kinds of response. He just gave a Curt nod and that was it. The men dispersed out of the h

    "What did you find?" Layla said with all seriousness. Jamie had so much excitement in his eyes as he jumped up and down." I found a shelter and jimin found food, we could make a camp fire later tonight" Jamie replied. Xavier nodded his head in agreement."Lead the way" Jamie was more than happy to do so.They walked together under Jamie's direction and lead, he would lead them to a path that had a sheltering , like a makeshift house but with tents. Jimin was bent over a hurdle of stacked sticks and on closer inspection, he was currently striking two stones together in order to produce fire."Jimin, let me help you with that" Layla said and walked ahead of the men to help jimin, in seconds she had done that which jimin had struggled with.With food on the raging fire, each of the flame licking a bit of the left over meat, night had quickly fallen on them."I have a question Xavier" Layla suddenly said, everybody's attention focused on her , the illumination the fire casted around the

    There was an obvious change in the air the next day, Xavier was calmer and for the first time, so was Layla. They had both had time to think, mostly Layla.Jamie had appeared out of nowhere, map in hand as he suddenly cleared their breakfast off of the table that had seen more of the good life than the ugly.He spread the map evenly and Xavier glanced at Layla just in the nick of time to see that same excitement he couldn't deny made him feel a spark." Xavier, lead the way" Jamie said as he stepped away from the map. Xavier who had been seated stood up and so did the rest. With their necks outstretched, they gathered around him like a flock of flightless birds in need of direction."We go through the Rocky mountain which should take a day but now that we have no means of flight or how to get there asides from our obvious walking, we'd have to take nearly two days to get there," he said, pointing at some steep and yet pointy figures that made its way to the map."What about going arou
