“Impossible,” Xavier laughed. “You can’t make me do your chores. That is not part of our deal.”“Remember I’m the one dictating the terms of that deal,” Draymond replied. “You would start performing all my Omega functions from tomorrow except you want people to know who Frost Xaviers really is.“You won’t tell anyone who I am,” Xavier said. “Your own ambition would be over if Jaime finds out and gets to me.”“My ambition for your life,” Draymond shrugged. “That’s a very huge gamble. What if I suddenly decide that I don’t really care who ends up as the king of the Alpha’s?”Xavier frowned at the thought of it. Truly, Draymond didn’t have much to lose if he told everyone Xavier’s little secret. Worst case scenario for him, he would remain an Omega for the rest of his life, doing dirty dishes and laundry, only case scenario for Xavier, he would die. “What are you chores?” Xavier asked.“Thought you’d never ask,” Draymond smiled. “I’m more like a general he said. I stand by and wait for
Five minutes into their conversation, Xavier had already drawn the conclusion that Mr. Coatés was a very hard man. He couldn’t blame him however. He was only trying to know the person he would be accommodating for the coming years. Even though Jimin had assured him that Xavier was going to be of good character, he couldn’t risk it. He wanted a first hand knowledge of the boy.“Where do you say you come from Frost?” Mr. Coatés asked Xavier for like the hundredth time in five minutes.“The North,” Xavier said. “The Ice Wolves pack.”“And you say that who is your Alpha?” Mr. Coatés queried further. Xavier paused, trying to remember the name. “Ferran,” the voice whispered in his head.“Ferran,” he smiled at Mr. Coatés. Mr. Coatés nodded at him. “So what did you do? Ferran’s wolves are up North in the stronghold of Lycans. They need more hands than any other pack. Why did he let you go?”Xavier knew from that question that he was speaking with a very intelligent man and that moment, he w
Xavier liked the idea of a stroll and it turned out to be even better than walking with Jimin. Sebastian walked slowly, talked slowly, took everything one at a time and Xavier got the impression that he would be very organized. They had been walking for almost ten minutes and a few guys had stopped to greet him as they walked. Xavier noticed how they all stared at him like he was an intruder before walking off and Sebastian noticed his discomfort at their stares.“Are you afraid?” Sebastian asked taking Xavier by surprise.“No, no, not at all,” Xavier lied. He knew that one day he would eventually have to present a case before Sebastian. He would eventually have to beg for his support and the support of his ‘Resistance’ to take his throne back from Jaime and so, he had to act tough. He had to be bold. He could see through Sebastian and he knew that he hated weakness. He would never support a weak king.“You should be afraid,” Sebastian said looking on. Two guys walked up to him at tha
“You’re joking right?” Sebastian laughed. “How can you challenge me? You are not even a member yet.”“Well I want to be,” Xavier said looking around. “Any one opposes that?”“It’s been long me watched a good fight,” one of the boys laughed. “You’re in yeah?”“Yeah!” they all chorused, excited at the thought of watching Sebastian beat Xavier up black and blue. “No guys,” Sebastian shook his head. “We can’t allow him join us. He’s a juvenile. He would spoil our plans.” He turned to Xavier. “How old are you?”“I’m not sure,” Xavier frowned. “But I think you’re so damn scared of losing to me that you’re beating about the bush with pointless questions.”“Ohhhhhhhhhhh!” they all cheered. Sebastian’s face was steadily turning red and Xavier knew that if his plan failed, he was going to be dead meat.“I’ll fight you,” Sebastian agreed. “Yeah!” everyone started cheering again.“But on two conditions,” he cut in. “One. If I win you, you get kicked out of The Resistance. Two, you or no one els
“What did you say happened to you?” Doctor Rufus asked Sebastian again. Rufus had been the herbal wolf of Jaime’s pack for close to thirty years and in his almost thirty years of service, he had not seen someone get battered up so badly.Sebastian coughed. “I got into a fight.”“I want to believe otherwise,” Doctor Rufus frowned. “You’re one of the strongest in the pack as it stands so if you can get beaten up black and blue like this, then we’re hopeless in the coming wars.”Sebastian kept mute. He didn’t want to get in more trouble with Jimin for exposing Xavier. “Just take the medication I gave you and you’ll be fine,” the doctor said. “And remember to stay out of trouble. Everyone calls you an Omega but when the battle starts you know you’ll be in the front line. We need you.”“Then why do you all disrespect me so much?” Sebastian wanted to ask. It had always bothered him. Why would the strongest wolf in the pack be stuck building castles for the weakest? He wondered how Jaime ha
“You can’t be serious!” Angela cried, her eyes full of glee.“Oh yes I am,” Xavier smiled. “Want to hear the story again?”“Of course!” she laughed. “Tell me one more time.”Xavier smiled and started the story again. He had been telling her the story of his fight with Sebastian and how he beat him black, blue and pink and although he suspected that she did not believe his tale, he told her anyways. It was nice to see how much she was interested in his story.“Wow!” she exclaimed once he was done telling the story again. “We never thought this day would come though.”“What day?” Xavier asked.“The day someone would beat Sebastian up of course,” she laughed. “And to think it was you, the new handsome exchange student from the North.”“Oh yeah,” Xavier smiled and flexed his tiny muscles. “They train us how to beat overgrown Omegas to stupor back in the North.” They both had a good laugh and Xavier noticed that she was stylishly rubbing her body against his in the process.“I bet you coul
Xavier stared at the book in his hand – HOW TO KILL A SENTINEL and he turned back to stare at Draymond.“Seriously where the fuck did you get this from?” Xavier frowned.“I thought you would start with something more like a thank you?” Draymond frowned, staring at Xavier. “Everything is going according to how we planned it. We’re making a pretty terrific team.”“Not so,” Xavier grunted. “You have evil plans against me in the future.”Draymond shrugged. “Allow the future take care of itself. Live in the present for now, boy. You have the big opening. You can become a Sentinel today.”“So you think I should kill Jimin?” Xavier said, turning the book in his hands.“I didn’t say you should do anything,” Draymond frowned. “I just gave you the book that would best suit what you need to do right now.”Xavier turned the book over in his hands searching for a name. “This book was written by….” He turned the book around looking for the author’s name and he finally found it.“Draymond Coatés?” X
“The gathering?” Xavier frowned. “What’s that again?”“It’s the night when the elders sit to tell us tales,” Draymond replied. “Our culture as the Black Wolf pack, how we survived after the fall of our king, your dad.” Xavier rolled his eyes. “So these elders. Won’t they recognize me? How old are they exactly?”“Most of them were your father’s friends,” Draymond replied. “So yes, they should. You’re lucky you’ve not bumped into any yet. You’ll have old men crawling at your feet and doing obeisance and shit.”“Too much attention,” Xavier sighed. “I don’t think we should go.”“Sadly we all have to be there as juveniles,” Draymond replied. “We’ll try to stay out of trouble. Come on.”Xavier watched as Draymond led the way. He walked slowly, calculating each steps he took and Xavier wondered if he was not the oldest among the Coatés family. He walked and talked like someone who had seen a lot in life and had a clear cut purpose and vision. “Finally!” Jon shouted, seeing them heading out
“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
