There was an unusual silence between us for some minutes. I could get her point, all I had to do was to remain patient and allow Gina to explain the role she played in the death of my mother. "I use to work for your back then in Dotham. I'm not a witch but, I was opportune to work as a cook in your mother's castle. About the same time, Magaritha was making plans to eliminate your mother. Somehow, the plan was leaked to me by mistake. I had overheard her talking about it and the strategy involved. I should have reported to your mother right the way but something happened!" Another round of tears flowed down from her eyes. I was almost getting impatient. I couldn't wait to hear everything she had to say therefore, I pressed her again. "And then what happened?"She looked away briefly and struggled to look at me. I never took my eyes off her thus forcing her to look away again. Nevertheless, she continued. "I was going to tell your mother about the secret but, the same night I planned
"I think that makes sense to me," entered Gama who had remained silent ever since we began talking. "So tell us, how are we going to get up there and rescue them?""This is something we need to deliberate on," I told them. Because I was walking in the middle of the two men, I turned easily to face Steve. "Yes, go on, Steve we would like to see if you have come up with something feasible.""Sure, I will but, I must let the both of you understand something about this, you can as well contribute your suggestions to the plan I would come up with." He paused for some time and then began again. "We will need to send up a few selected men. Men that are well trained and must be able to stick to the plan. They must be able to withstand all kinds of odds they might encounter up there! I hope we have those kinds of men in our fighting rank?" he asked Gama after turning around slightly to face him.Gama stopped walking to respond to the question that Steve had asked him. His sudden halt also affe
"What the hell are you talking about?" Shouted Gama. "I mean, how is that even feasible? Where in the godamn world are you going to get more men to fight the Revolutionists?""Oh, my friend! Relax and don't let that be your problem. Of course, I have a plan. Do you think I'm stupid, huh? Do you think I make that kind of statement if I don't have any plans? Come on, I do!" Steve defended himself and glanced at me as well. "Hey, miss angel, you are not saying anything about this? Do you also have a problem with my suggestion?" He asked me."To be sincere with you on this one, little brother, my answer to your question is yes! I mean, how are you going to do that?" "We can!" Steve never let me finish when he began talking. "I can say that again, we can! And we will!" He turned to face again after looking away temporary. "Look at yourself, sister, you have what it takes to defeat them. Stop being afraid we can overcome them even with a small number of men. I believe that they are no matc
After talking for a long time with the leader of the village, he sent us some of his men. From there, we moved on through the countryside to spread the word and see who will buy into our cause. Steve led us from one part to the other until we were able to get a reasonable number of men who were willing to fight for us. For us, it was a success at last. What we never thought will happen just came to pass. With our newly recruited soldiers, we went back to Gama's camp where the men were further trained and well briefed about the task at hand. In about a week, we were all ready. By then, we had put things in order and the battle strategy was well rehearsed by the men we recruited. Although we did our very best to recruit men as many as possible, however, the sad thing remained that we were still outnumbered by Magaritha's army. We have no idea of what they were capable of therefore, our operation was more like a gamble. Nevertheless, we were determined to win against the evil forces of
The watchmen on the towers raised the alarm upon sighting our movement towards the gate. They began ringing the huge bell. Their troops began reinforcing. They adjusted the lock on the gate as we try to push through. One of their commanders gave them the order to shoot at us. At once, they began raining arrows on use. They were meant to break our strong resolve but we never succumb to their pressure.The arrows rained down on us in many directions without mercy. Some of them managed to hit our men and put them out of the race to the gate. Some fell dead while others continued to run towards the gate. I was among those running towards the gate. Finally, we made it! We were at the entrance to the city. Our men began fighting back. We were able to take out some of the archers on the high wall. I watched their lifeless body fall from the top as they were been taken out by our men. Thus, we were able to push them back into the city. We busted through the gate and then our first hand-to-h
I was not stunned by the fact that the Alpha was kissing me however, what shocked me was the fact that he did it in front of everyone. He cared less about the crowd that was astonished by his act. Although we inflicted casualties on the enemy, we had ours as well. However, not as great as that of the enemy we fought. I wondered how some of the men would react after seeing the sight of my fleeting romantic affair with the Alpha. Are they going to be provoked by the fact that some soldiers are grieving after the death of their colleagues and friends and families, while two grown-ups are here kissing? So far, there was no reaction from the men concerning the passionate kissing I had with the Alpha. Nevertheless, I needed not to be told that it was time to stop lest our actions trigger a negative reaction from the soldiers."It's okay," I told the Alpha Ammon with a gentle tone, while at the same time pushing him away from my body gently. He showed no opposition instead, he simply let me
The scene unfolding took all of us by surprise. "Ammon!" I called the Alpha even though he was still in his Lycan state. He looked at me and growled one more time before he began transforming back into a human. Eric also did the same. Now, w had both of them back in their human form.The Alpha wasted no time after transforming from a Lycan back to a human, he reached out for me and scooped me up in his arms, it was the best feeling ever. The crowd was not left out in our little jubilation, everyone cheered the great comeback.Gama and Steve came running toward us after seeing what had happened. Steve, in particular, rushed towards the Alpha and embraced him. The expression on his face tells them all, he was becoming emotional. "Thank you, man!" began Steve as he quickly embraced the Alpha throwing his arms around him. The Alpha on his part also did the same. All of these happened as I stepped back from the Alpha when I saw that Steve was coming to join us. Gama on the other hand said
"What are going to do then to stop Magaritha?" Asked Gama. "Can we go to a place better than here where we would relax and talk?" said Eric.Everything that was said was never hidden from the men with us. It was made open for everyone. We left the thin strip of vegetation and headed back to Gama's camp. It was going to be our base from where we would lunch another attack to liberate Muldoch and then help the Alpha to regain his leadership in the wolf clan.I found myself alone with the Alpha under the shade of a tree around the woods in the camp. By now he was convinced that he had regained all that he had lost. His powers were back fully to him. However, just how that happened was what he could not explain. I was also finding it difficult to explain what had happened back there. It was a day after we freed him from prison. I'm pretty sure that some of the events that happened within the past 24 hours were still vivid in his memory. I believe he had a lot to tell me and to ask me ab
