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
Karla stared at her father and frowned. “I don’t think so,” she frowned. “I know Jimin very well and he would never do such a thing, irrespective of how naughty Draymond must have been.”“Thank you my dear,” Jimin smiled at her and she returned the smile immediately. Mr. Coatés stared at the two of them, hissed and walked away.“What?” Karla laughed as he walked away. “I’m saying the truth. Draymond is the kind to get into trouble and Jimin, the type to forgive easily. Am I right Jimin?”“Absolutely,” Jimin replied full of glee. “I would have forgiven him already. But its no use. Draymond did not do anything to me.” Karla smiled and watched as her father walked away and as soon as he was out of hearing, she turned and faced Jimin.“Everyone is worried about Draymond,” she said. Her eyes were watery and it seemed as though she was on the verge of crying. “He stays out late very few times and if he’s not out late, he’s in his room working on whatever project he keeps working on daily. T
Xavier walked in just as Draymond left and he was surprised to see that the atmosphere there was very tense with only Jimin and Karla in the room. He stared at the two of them and frowned and Jimin knowing what Xavier was thinking, quickly excused himself and walked out of the room. Karla turned around to leave too but Xavier stopped her quickly.“Karla,” he smiled at her. “We have not had a lot of time to discuss since that day in the tub.”“Whatever happened that day between us was a mistake my king,” Karla said with her head bent down to the ground. “I did not know back then that you came from loyalty. I shouldn’t even have touched you.”“I know,” Xavier sighed. “But you did touch me. And we cannot pretend that it did not happen or can we?”“We can try,” Karla said, her face still bent to the ground. How quickly the tables had turned. Jimin was no longer the shy boy that was scared to look at her nakedness. He was now the Alpha of the pack and she was the one shaking like a leaf in
Karla paced around her room in anger. She almost could not believe what she had just heard. After years of working as on Omega, washing Diana’s disgusting clothes and sweeping her already swept room, she was finally free from that burden and now, her own brother was going to put her back there again, for a whole week! Not even a day!“Arghhh!” she screamed unable to hide her irritation. “Little brat! Jimin should have left you in the woods to die. Who are you to come here and start ordering us about!”“And it’s even worse that he’s half human,” Megan said, trying to console her. “Don’t you think so hun?” Karla nodded at her friend with her best puppy eyes and Megan ran her hand down Karla’s hair gently.“Don’t worry Hun,” Megan said. “Everything would be alright.”Karla sighed. Megan had been her best friend for a very long time. They shared almost everything – the same birth date, the same nick name, the same dresses and the same love for K-pop artistes, only that Karla’s was a litt
“I know what I’m saying Megan,” Karla frowned. “The first time I tried it with him, he jerked so hard that I almost laughed out under the tub. “He is too naïve.”“Makes it even better,” Megan eyed her. “The more innocent they are, the better it is. But I think you like the idea of cleaning the palace for a whole week. If you don’t, you would not even consider this. You would do it without a second thought.”“I don’t know, Megan,” Karla frowned, confused. “You know I’m not like you.”Megan eyed her friend and smiled. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”“Oh you’d better do,” Karla laughed. “Thanks for everything, Meg. You’ve really been of help to me. And how are things going with Daniel?”“Ugh,” Megan rolled her eyes. “You had to spoil the moment by bringing him up. That bastard.”“Interesting,” Karla’s ears perked up immediately at the thought of a juicy gossip. “Megan calls Daniel a bastard. That would make the best headlines on the news. I want to hear all about it. What did he do to
“Jimin!”Jimin turned around in shock to see that Karla was staring at him, her hands akimbo and her lips pursed jn a frown. From the expression on her face, he guessed immediately that she had been calling his name for a long while and he had not replied her.“I’ve been shouting your name for the past five minutes!” she frowned. “You left me hanging there to come and stare into space or what?”Jimin rubbed his hands over his eyes like someone in a trance and he ran his hands through his hair.“Look, I’m sorry,” he said. “I have a lot on my mind now. Could we talk about this later? I’ll explain better. I have to go somewhere now.”“Where is that?” she frowned. “Where do you want to go?”“Its actually a meeting,” Jimin lied. “A private meeting. Look, I’m running late now. Can we talk about this later. I promise you, we would talk about it when I get back.”“You are not going to ditch me here, Jimin,” Karla said, shock written all over her face, but Jimin had already started off. He ran
“Good,” Tae said and continued. “You would not die for anybody in the coming wars. You would fight alongside your pack in the coming wars and you would fight against Ghost only. When you see Calisté, you are to remain passive, or better still, run away to a safe place where I would lead you to hide. Calisté has promised that as long as she sees your face after the wars, she would spare you and you would join her in the new kingdom that she is building. If however, she fails to defeat Xavier and the rest of the werewolves, then you can still fall back to them. No one would know that you did this.” Jimin turned and stared at Calisté.“You would not mind taking me in even if you win the wars?” Jimin asked.“I don’t mind,” she shrugged. “As long as you play no part in it when I come. You would be fully protected and there is no way you are going to lose out. When you see Ghost and his Lycans, you fight. Kill as much as you can and your people would sing your praises for days. But when I c
