Kai POVReturning back to the room after the fight, I felt a throbbing pain in my chest. The wound from the sword fight still fresh, I knew it was impossible to let Kieran win.After settling down amongst the bed, the door open and the pack soldiers walked inside the room holding a small bag of medical supplies.“Alpha, I brought some medicine to help with the wound,” He said, with eyes filled with concern.“Thank you very much, I really appreciate.” I replied, happy for receiving an act of kindness.These people definitely want me to win and there is no way I am going to ever disappoint them.I watch him scrub my bloodied armor and apply some ice to the open wounds“You need to rest Alpha, tomorrow’s game is very long” He said as I tried to favor my leg from fracturing any further. There is no doubt that he was right about the battle tomorrow. I imagined knocking out Kieran in the middle of the ring and embarrassing him in front of the whole people.After he was done catering to
Aliaria POVThe night was cold and everyone had gone to bed.Even though tomorrow was my turn to fight, I still had no clue whatsoever of what game we would play. Kai and Kieran had done the three major task which means mine could be less.Despite the games coming up, my mind was fixed else where.My special abilities and I need answers to the questions that bug my mind.Earlier today before coming to watch Kai, I received help finding those answers and now I must make sure the person gives me what I want.Standing up from the chair in the balcony, I moved inside the room to find Kai sleeping peacefully in bed.At first I wanted to join him and sleep but on a second thought, there is someone I need to see.I gently opened the door to prevent Kai from waking up and sneaked out of the room.The hallway was quiet as I walked along.I arrived at Rand ’s room and placed my ear on the door.He is still not asleep yet.I knocked at the door and in a matter of seconds he opened. His face w
Aliaria Pov“I am telling you Aria, this is the most stupid decision you could have possibly made” Rand has been talking about our movement to the Silver Moon Mountains since we started the journey.As we arrived at the boarders that separates Blood moon from the rest of other pack, I turned around to Rand.“Listen, the choice is yours. Either you choose to go back there and stay and allow me go to the mountains, or you can come with me.” I said.“You must be out of your mind for thinking I will let you walk into Silver Moon mountains alone. Aside the witches, the pack soldiers might take you”I smiled and gave him a nod. We proceed to cross the riverbank and into the Silverfang pack territory.This would be my first time in the pack since I left and so many nostalgic feelings filled my head as we walked through the empty pack.“Something seems off…..” Rand noted as we reached the eastern path that leads to the mountains.“What is it?”“The pack members usually will not be asleep by
Aliaria Pov“I am sorry I have to take you away in the most unconvincing way possible. But there is no way I am fighting Kai and Damon by myself” Kieran said, grabbing a sit.We had arrived at another pack and I am tired up to a chair in one of the rooms of a deserted house.“Why did you have to do this?” I asked, staring at him.“Because I want leverage over that pack” He said and drew his chair closer “I want to be in control again” He said.“And you think the best way is by taking me and forcing Kai to give up his throne?” I asked.“Yes, Kai is going to hand over the throne to me because I know that he loves you” He said and cracked a smile on his face.“You are just ridiculous” I said shaking my head in disapproval.“Just eat your food, you need strength. It has been almost twenty four hours since the incident; I don’t want you loosing weight.”“I will rather die than stay in this place” I replied.“You really think I am going to persuade you to eat your food? If you starve to de
Aliaria POV“What in the world does Levi think he is doing?” Audrey asked as she sits down on the grey couch.My arrival at the blood moon pack happened without the notice of anyone. I needed to see Audrey for the first time in almost several years.“He knows that he is no match for Kaidon and he tried to take me away. He is trying to take control of Silver moon pack again” I reply as I sit myself down by the couch.The experience in Levi’s hand will never be forgotten in my memory. As I recollect my thoughts on the couch, a question came to my mind.“What has been going on in Blood Moon pack? Why is Aurora with my mate” I asked Audrey. “If I had known you were coming, I would have gathered information from the pack mansion. There is no answer to your question because we cannot also tell what is happening with them.” She revealed.“Fine, I guess I will have to find out myself” I revealed and got up to my feet.“Where are you going?” She asked as I walk over to the door.“Uh…Going bac
Kaidon POV“We have to tackle the possible crisis that can happen in the lower region of this pack Alpha” One of the council members revealed.“Dawson will definitely attend to that” I replied already getting fed up with the questions from everyone of them.“We have noticed that you have been without a Beta” I raised my head up to see council man Joe speaking.“An Alpha without a possible assistant is not going to perform well in the council” He added.“And why is everyone keen on getting a new Beta from me?” I asked, looking at everyone of them in the face.“When Levi used to be Alpha did anyone ever raised an objection against his decision in the pack” I asked and they remained silent.“Eldric betrayed this pack and it is because of him that we are in this mess today” Dawson interrupted as he takes the stage.“I will not forgive every single one of you for ever agreeing to put him in the throne as Alpha.” He said pointing at each one of them.“You should know your place in this pa
Kaidon POV“Whenever you raise your sword, learn to occupy the spaces in between your opponent” Today was training and I had summoned everyone in the pack to rally around the place. Dawson paced around giving the orders to the soldiers.“You are fierce soldiers and you must be seen to act as one” His voice echoed around the room.“The commitment he has towards training these people is impressive” I turned around to see Aria standing beside me still in her night wears.“How was your night?” I asked, cracking a smile as she stepped forward.“Horrible. I could not sleep, I was having several bad dreams”In a split second my mind went back to the warning of the pack seer. Could her lack of sleep be due to the fact that she is possessed? “Your men seem ready for combat” She said turning her attention down to everyone moving their swords in synch.“We have to prepare for unexpected war” I reveal.“You think Kieran could invade this pack” Her question got me and I turned around to face her
Aliaria POVAt the battle ground….I struggled to get back up to my feet, still overwhelmed by Willow’s shove.“What the hell is that?” I asked her, still seeing how prepared she was to launch at my direction with a serious looking stare on her face.“Lets just say I am trying to defend my family’s legacy” Willow replied.“But you did not want to have anything to with the Oasters” I reminded her again, holding my hips and soothing it away from the pain.“I am the only Oaster in this place and even though my brother messed up, we have always this belief that we should defend what the family stands for, that is why I am even wearing this color” She said, pointing to the color of her armour.She launched at me, taking me by surprise but I instinctively moved away, causing her to crash to the floor.Willow rose up to her feet and I could see the fury in her eyes.Maybe I should take this fight a little more serious. As she pushed forward to meet me, I grabbed her arm and swing her over
Aliaria POV“How is he doctor?” Kaidon asked the moment we walked into the pack hospital.Dawson ’s body was beyond recognizable. His face was swollen and dirts were coming out of his lips in the form of mucus.“Whoever did this to him is the sick” The pack doctor confessed as he stepped away from his body.“His wolf is still there and I can still find a pulse. But I don’t think he will be able to get through” The doctor revealed.“Something must be done about the situation” Kaidon declared. “The only possible solution to what is happening to him is to find the antedote to what has been done to him” The pack doctor explained.“What is the cause of his swollen body?” I asked.“He was bitten severly by multiple deadly scorpion. I think these scorpions must have the most deadliest venom for his body to be in this state” The pack doctor revealed.An antedote.How is it possible to get this antedote?Kaidon tapped my shoulders and gestured for me to walk out of the room with him.By
Author Pov“Sieze him!” Kieran ordered and a group of soldiers rushed forward and yanked Dawson ’s hand, forcing him to the ground.“Kieran , he is my champion” Kaidon argued as he watched his brother man handled by the pack soldiers.“Your champion is going to answer for his crimes. He just killed an Alpha and he must pay for it” Kieran replied and demanded that he be taken away.Aliaria watched in dismay as Dawson is led out of the room. She turned to see Kieran whispering something into Willow ’s ear and she got up to her feet and also walked out of the room.Aliaria could sense that something fishy was going on and they were hiding it.Meanwhile Dawson is unfazed as he is led down te basement. He was used to the torture already.The whip never silenced him but merely made him much stronger.The soldiers tied him to the pole and he is stripped off his cloth.“You should consider using a much thicker whip. This one is too old” Dawson suggested to the captain.The captain fe
Aliaria PovThe early morning was unusually quiet. Ashton my personal guard was leading me through the tunnel till we arrived alongside other champions.Today a crowd awaits and I could feel their energy, even down the tunnel. “You are early” I said to Dawson as I stayed by his side.“I am always early” He replied with a smile.I looked down his hand and noticed a change in his weapon.“An axe? What happened to your sword?” I asked with sheer curiosity.“The game is unpredictable and I just have a slight feeling that I might be needing this” He replied with a shrug.I wanted to say something but the doors are opened and we stormed out of the underground pit to a loud cheering crowd.My eyes scanned the entire crowd and soaked up the euphoric atmosphere. My eyes landed at Kaidon and he smiled in my direction.Kieran and Willow were also seated for the first time since the beginning of the tournament.“Why is Willow suddenly interested in this tournament?” I asked Dawson beside m
Aliaria Pov“It has become very obvious that Kieran plans to kill one of us before the tournament is over” Dawson said as we sat down at the training center.It was deep into the night and with my magical necklace, I had been able to cause a lot of the solders to fall into deep sleep, which allows us time to talk.“Which is why we need to come up with a plan.” Kaidon replied, while stroking my hair with his hand. “We are giving Kieran too much power. He threatens to end my pack at will because he knows that there is nothing I can do about it”“One of us has to win the tournament.” Dawson mentioned.“One of us?” Kaidon and I echoed as we looked at Dawson .“Don’t tell me you are planning to fight Aliaria if the both of you ever meet in the final round” Kaidon said.“I have been loyal and I don’t intend to go back on my word. Aliaria is going to win but at the same time, I want her to win honorably” At first my brain was trying to process everything he was saying.“In what way
Aliaria PovTo say that I was happy was understatement.As Dawson is being taken away, I could tell that his message has reached every ear including that of Kieran, who I noticed was still struck in fear.The games were finally over and all the Alphas were walking out of the hall. Kaidon gestured with his hands to meet him at the training ground and I smiled in response.“I know what you saw at the tournament ground today has been absolutely shocking” said the captain, who has come to address us.“What Dawson has done today should not repeat itself amongst any of the champion. None of you have the right to attack Alpha Kieran. No one!” He yelled and turned to look at my direction.“Wipe away that smile on your face woman!” He yelled and my face changed into a frown.The captain approached me and stared into my eyes for a moment, while I looked away from him.“I saw what you did”I turned to look at him and a smirk came to his face.“I….I don’t know what you are talking about” I repli
Dawson Pov“What is the meaning of this madness!”I turned around to look at Kaidon, who has risen up to his feet with his face glaring angrily at Kieran.“Alpha Kaidon, you have always questioned everything I have done. So what you say holds no water right now” Kieran dismissed with his hand and turned to the arena.My heart was beating fast as the rogues all circled me like they were predators ready to devor their preys.I croaked my neck to look at Aliaria. She was shaking her head aggressively as she noticed the smile on my face.She really thinks I will not be able to take on the rogues even with my hands tied.“Tell me something Alpha…” I said, confidently turning to look at Kieran. “Am I allowed to let free of the ropes and find a weapon against these rogues?” I asked, looking at the rogues.Some had their swords and others had their clubs with them.“You are allowed to break free from the ropes, but I doubt if you can because they are tight” He said and laughed menacingly.Kai
Dawson PovWaking up in the morning was the easiest thing to do for me.I was swinging my sword in the training centre, while wondering why Aliaria had not arrived at the center when the soldier watching over me rushed to the room.“There has been a serious problem” He revealed, picking up the swords on the floor.At the entrance of the door, I noticed a group of soldiers walking past the centre and I could sense they were heading for the champions section.“Borillo is dead” I turned my head to the soldier that had spoken, hoping he wasn’t kidding with his words but from all indication, he was correct.“What happened to him?” I asked as we both head out of the training room.“I don’t know. They found his body at the left wing” Left wing.Left wing.My eyes widened as I realized the only person to have known about that place was Aliaria.“And Aliaria?” I asked as I increased my steps.“She is fine.” We arrived at Aliaria’s room and I found her on the floor with tears in her eyes.“C
Aliaria POV“For the love of the moon goddess, you like taking too much risk” Borillo whispered behind me as we moved further into the hall of the left wing.“There is no one here” He added again as we pulled the door opened revealing a dark and empty room. “I told you this was all some fairy tale, nothing evil ever happens down here”This isn’t right.The magical necklace can never lie and I knew exactly what I had felt the very moment I passed the left wing.“This must be some type of illusion.” I mentioned to Borillo as I walked further into the room.“No, you are the delusional one here. It is late at night and I can only wonder what I am going to tell the captain if he sees the both of us wondering around this place” He said and rolled his eyes in disgust.“Don’t blame me!” I feigned innocence and rolled my eyes at him. “I am doing this to know what could have possibly happened to the other champion” I said to him.He stepped forward and my eyes latched unto one of the tiles on t
Kaidon Pov“I want to appreciate every one of you for making it out of your busy schedules and coming to blood moon pack for this tournament” Kieran said.We were all seated at a round table for the first meeting. Many of the Alphas seemed excited for the tournament, but I wasn’t comfortable with the idea.Kieran and Willow has proven over time that they are a crafty set of people and whatever move they make always have a reason.“Every Champion representing all the Alphas have been given a place to stay and well fed before the tournament.”“You always try to sideline my pack Kieran.” I voiced out and interrupted his speech.“We are sorry if you consider it sidelining but I can recall that I sent some of my soldiers down to Silver Moon Pack to inform you about the tournament and you drove them away” Kieran explained with a scowl on his face.“I think you are right. My champion is also part of the people that has arrived but he hasn’t been given a proper treatment” I replied.“If you a
