~Jamal~ I met Sebastian in the woods, they were burying some of the wolves who were killed and without a family. “Alpha.” They bowed and stepped aside, I took one of the shovels and rolled up my sleeves, and handed my jacket over to the smallest in the group. I moved away, towards where Sebastian was. I started to dig a grave alongside Sebastian. He stopped digging and stared at me for a brief moment, and muttered ‘Alpha.’ “Go on, start digging we have to finish it before it starts raining.” “Yes, Alpha!” They chorus as if their strength has been reinstated. We said nothing else and started digging as fast as we could. We know this was the work of Oscar and he was the one doing all of these but there was nothing we could do since we haven’t been able to get a trace of him. We were done with the grave and had them buried and we whispered a few prayers to the moon goddess to accept their souls. I walked away when it was all done, I was washing my feet on the stream close by, an
Seraphim.“Pack a bag!” Jamal was yelling as he walked through the stairs, I wasn’t listening to him or what he was saying. “You told me you love me and the next thing you want me to stay away from you!” I raised my voice as well. Marching after him to the stair. I stop walking and stood at the top of the stairs. “Sera!” He shifts from his wolf, he was fighting with his wolf because of his behavior. He noticed that I had stopped following him, he turned sharply, the veins popping on his neck and his eyes glowering at me. I have never been scared of Jamal but the Jamal I was seeing right now I was a little bit scared of him. He look tense and started to rub his forehead. “Ain’t you listening to me?” “Why?” I was glaring at him. Why does he want me out of his life so quickly?“You don’t want me at your side anymore?”“It’s not that I don’t want you, Seraphim. I can’t keep you here.” He says simply with a stone face. “It’s not safe.” “That was why I did the exorcism so that I
~Jamal~ “Have eyes around, Sebastian. You’ve to do what I ask you to do. The servant that had snitched on my Luna where is she?” “She is the prison.” I nodded curtly and signed over a paper, and shoved it aside taking up another one. “Have her killed.” I flipped through several documents with my eyes fixed on the papers. “I thought you might want to have a word with her about the debate don’t you think they might want to use her as evidence?” I dropped my pen angrily. “What did I say, Sebastian?”“I’m sorry, Alpha.” He bowed. “Are the preparations ready? Have you done what I ask?” I glanced up at Sebastian. “I did as you instructed Alpha we have tightened more of the security around the borders and still searching for the rats”“Give instructions to Sven and the others, and Sven must be there to protect the Luna at all costs.” “Yes, Alpha.” He bowed and turned to leave. “We would be leaving in a few houses, get some of the warriors to come with us.” He nods and exits himse
~Seraphim~ “It’s morning, Jamal. I need to get out of the bed and pee so move your hand off around me and let me go to the bathroom!” “Jamal! I’m going to pee on you if you don’t move!” I slapped his arms that were holding me so tight but he didn’t budge. He was asleep. I had to struggle to get off his bear hug for over five minutes and eventually succeeded, I ran down to the bathroom and pleased myself before I came out. I walked back to the bed and stared at his sleepy face and tails my fingers along the feature of his face. I stared at my phone when it rang, he pick them up and saw a notification. It was the reminder that I have set for Jamal’s birthday. I smiled and got up from the bed when an idea suddenly hits me. I covered it with the duvet and hurried out of the room with my slippers on. There was a bell in the hallway to signal all the servants to assemble and I rang the bell and the call came out and lined up in front of me. “Good morning, Luna.” They chorused. “
~Jamal~ “Stay behind me, Luna.” I shielded Seraphim even when I wasn’t seeing the rogue that had growled at us. I made her stay behind me when I heard a rustling sound and he stepped forward, he wasn’t on his wolf, he was in a black outfit with a mask. He stared at my warriors and me. “You have found me, Jamal. It took you eleven years to find me.” His mask moved upward as if he smiled. “I would not hide from you, I never hid from you. Why did you call me and why did you come here?” He was trying to have a look at Seraphim. “Attack!” I yelled at my warriors. This was where he had been hiding, he was within my pack all this while. He shook his head. “That was a foolish thing to say.”“I will come for what’s mine.” His eyes were then directed at Seraphim. I blocked his view from seeing Sera. My warriors charge at him, shifting to their wolves immediately. I couldn’t go after him because of Seraphim. I have to protect. “Sven take Seraphim away now!” I yelled at him. Seraphim r
~Seraphim~ Jamal didn’t come home the entire night. I waited for him and Sven came back to the house and told me that Jamal was spending the night at the pack house. “He never liked staying here.” I protested. The servant had to microwave the dinner she had made for me earlier. I was sitting in the kitchen and waiting to have some food for my rumbling stomach. “Something happened.” Sven was taking some of the chips. “What happened?” The plate of pasta was served and I started to eat. She bowed and left the kitchen. I was so hungry. I didn’t know why it was as if the food I was eating wasn’t enough. “You should eat. I don’t want to say it and ruined your appetite.”He sat on a stool and I ate the pasta as if I hadn’t even since the morning. “The Alpha was scary earlier nobody could get close to him maybe that’s why he won’t be coming home tonight. He probably doesn’t want to face you with it. The last time I saw him this angry, he killed someone because of his anger.” He pull
~Jamal~”Alpha, we have buried them...” Sebastian’s head was tilted downward and his hand held at his side. I sighed sadly with my hands placed on the table. “We console the families of the warriors we lost, though it was...” His voice croaked and I stared at my hands on the table. “I’m sorry, Alpha.” “You know, Sebs I would never have been Alpha.” I blinked my eyes a few times. “You were born with the blood of an Alpha, Alpha Jamal. You should not say that.” I laugh bitterly at his remark. “My parents knew what they were fighting with, they knew about Oscar and how strong he was, and that was why they needed the help of a powerful witch to defeat him. They knew, and were scared.” I pursed my lips and tapped on the table with my fingers, ignoring the pile of files on them. “He’s not going to stop until he gets what he wants.” “Alpha you are not thinking of giving up on your leadership in the pack because when you do you die!” Sebastian panicked and came over to the desk quick
~Seraphim~“Yes, princes, we went down to the prison and we did everything as you have said. You can come with us, we have made everything in place.” The guard from the prison continued talking as we walked down the path to the place Beta Miller was locked in.I raised to stop him from talking. “You don’t have to address me as Princess anymore. I am a Luna to a pack now.”He smiled sheepishly. “Does that mean the rumors are true.” He grinned from ear to ear and I stared at him with my brow knitted together in a small frown.“What rumors?” “You got married to Alpha Jamal Fernandez and you have become the Luna of the Pack?” He said hesitantly. “Oh.” I mouthed that was the rumor going around. With a broad smile, I face him. “Yes, I’m the Luna.” We continued walking down the dark prison walls and stopped when we got to the room, Beta Miller was locked in. “You can leave.” He bowed and retreated from sight, I stared at his receding figure and took my gaze back to the prison door.
