We gazed at each other for some quick seconds with his eyes, dominating mine. “What do you think you are doing witch? I gave you a room to lay your head and now you are invading my personal property? Is that what you do?’’ He began walking closer to the shelf where I had arranged his book. He took it and held it in his palms. Once again, we stood facing each other. That long wicked looks never stopped intimidating me.“m sorry sir. I never mean to do anything that will upset you. I will never go close that again.’’ I lifted my face a bit to meet his but quickly looked down again. The alpha has not acted in the way I had expected him to respond.“Tell me, witch,’’ he began, “have you read any book like this before?’’“No, I have not.’’“Hmmm! That means, it must be strange to you?’’“Yes, but it was interesting.’’He raised his eyebrows, “did you find any piece of written paper in my book?’’‘Should I lie to him and pretend I saw nothing?’ I asked myself. ‘No, that will make the alpha
The alpha gave me a nasty reply but, I was determined. When he saw that I had planned not to go back to my words he nodded in disbelief."You asking me to have an access to our kitchen Tonight and cook dinner for us? Is that what you are saying, Witch? Oh! I knew it. You have a plan to have us poisoned so you could escape. Am I right? Is that not what you are planning to do?"His words came as a surprise to me since I never had any of those things in my mind. "No, that's not correct. How can I bear such in my mind?""It's very possible! look, Witch, we have made you stay with us without your will. We had threatened to have you killed if you don't meet our needs. The option of having you killed has not been taken off the table don forget that? We are your enemies and not your friends. Now tell me why you will poison us if you are allowed to do so?"Alpha Ammon had a strong point on me. I was held by them against my own will. I see why it's not sensible enough not to trust me with the fo
'This is my freedom at last,' I thought. My heart was delighted shortly until I remember I knew no direction to take. The forest of Dengek covered a huge swath of land that I can't measure or determine which part of it is closer to human settlement. Therefore, fleeing at this slight opportunity will be a suicide mission. What I end up being eaten by a wild beast of the night? What if I fell into the hands of very bad people. What if I end up again in the hands-on "Revolutionists" while attempting to flee from many friendly werewolves than they were? That will be catastrophic if I'm ever caught by the zealots again. This time around, they will leave no stone unturned. They may decide to rule off burning me on the stake. After learning from their mistakes, they will never waste their time in having me killed. My head could be chopped off and paraded on the streets back in the town. A disgraceful death.If I think the other way round, with regards to the Werewolves. Should they be caugh
"Hmmm, such a strange tale. Now I have seen why it's not quite different from what has happened between you and us. However, there are also instances of some difference in your story. The boys were not witches but, you were. Therefore, you don't expect the Werewolves to treat a witch the same way they had saved and treated the little fella and his brother," said the Alpha."Why will you say that? I guess you are about to say some ugly shits about my kind," I asked him."You see witch, your kind doesn't deserve any pity. If I should act according to the pain and anger in my heart, there will be no more witches left alive by now. All those I have come across would have been a thing of the past. And that includes you, Louis!"I was speechless at his cold words, but I never let my anger show too much. I simply kept quiet and continued with the dinner I was making while, he looked on."You hate me so much, tell me, don't you Louis? Come on don't deny it""What caused this unprecedented hat
"Don't even think about it. That will be your worst mistake," whispered the alpha into my ears, while he pressed his weight on my back. He stayed in that position for some seconds before pulling back.Puzzled by his strange warning, I inquired, "What are you talking about? Have I sinned against you?" I was scared because his look had changed from being friendly to rude."Witch, I know what you have been thinking about," he began. "I know what you were thought about when gazed at this window," he said, pointing at the window which was close to where we stood.Shocked, I turned around to face him. How did he know that was exactly what I had in my mind? Was this alpha a psychic? "How did you know what I had in mind? Did you read my mind? Well, I wasn't thinking anything related to that," I lied. My lies were necessary. I feared he will get more furious at me if I tell him the truth about my one-minute escape plan.How wrong I was, for the alpha maintained his stance about my attempt to f
Before Derek could get to me, I channeled the energy from the spell I have made directly to the floor. I commanded the floor where he stood to become wet. Since my power will not work directly on him because of his wolf’s curse which interferes with magic powers, I had to manipulate objects which will work indirectly on him.He slipped his foot immediately he stepped on the wet floor and fell hard."Oh, no shouted Eric! Do you know what you have done, Witch? You have just touched the tale of a tiger and I'm pretty sure you know what a tiger does when it's pissed off?"When Derek got to his feet, I could tell his rage and temper were beyond any measurement. It was obvious I had activated a new version of him. I watched his eyes change from normal to yellowish demonic eyes, his whole body began to elongate before my very eyes. His fingers gradually turned into sharp claws. His body was very hairy seconds later. Everything about him at the moment was scary, disgusting, and demonic; with
I woke up the next morning and found myself lying on the Alpha's bed. The one he had told me to make use of last night. As soon as my eyes opened, my memory became blurred momentarily, as I tried to remember how I got to the bed. Clearly, I never remembered walking up to the room and laying on the bed, and neither did I cover myself with any blanket. The only thing I remembered was exchanging some words with Eric before I was hit by a heavy object. So, how did I get here? I tried to get up from the bed but couldn't. When I looked around to see what was restricting me, to my surprise, my hands had been bounded and chained to the wooden part of the bed. There was no way I could leave that room."Help! Help! Somebody help me!" I screamed.My screams never lasted as Alpha Ammon was sitting close to the door. He had been looking at me the whole time without me noticing."Why are you screaming, witch? You Had a bad dream, I guess?""Why am I been chained to the bed like an animal?""Becaus
It wasn't long after I had finished drinking coffee, breakfast was served. Eric prepared breakfast, while Ammon gave him a helping hand. I was left alone with Derek the whole time. Sometimes, he would smile at me for a reason best known to him. Whatever the source of his smile was, it doesn't mean well to me, I know that. That was why, when we had breakfast I felt more comfortable with the other wolves around. After our meal, I went outside the cottage although it was cold. However, I was not alone since I was under the watchful eyes of the wolves nearby. They were standing not too far away from me, about 40 meters away.Suddenly, the alpha started walking in my direction. What does he want this time?"Louis, it's time we move out. I'm sure you have had enough rest after having breakfast?" He said. "Yes, I'm good now," I answered."Then we should start our journey without wasting any more precious time. Have you thought about what we might need when we enter Muldoch?""Yes. There is
"Sandra, this is Louis, my half-sister and the one you have spoken of," began Steve. "And Miss beautiful, (as he was fond of calling me) this is my friend Sandra. I just met and I'm begging her to go on a date with me," he said."Oh, that's great...what's keeping the two of you then, from going out to have some fun?" I smiled at Sandra as I spoke."We are from different worlds mistress, I can't go out with him," said Sandra.I was surprised that Sandra addressed me as a mistress. I never liked that title, I always wanted to be addressed as Louis. And I'm always satisfied by hearing people address me by my simple name. That was what I had to tell Sandra."You can call me by my name," I smiled at her because Sandra appeared to be confused. "Don't worry Sandra, I said it, go ahead and call me by my name. I have nothing against you.""Alright ma'am!" she said. She quickly remembered that I told her to always call me by my name and not a mistress or any other bossy name.... names that will
"I'm....my name is Steve," he began."Oh, I see... who doesn't know Steve? I do... you the commander of the king's army!" replied the Witch."Yes, that's right...may I know your name?""I'm Sandra!" she glanced at him and smiled. Next, she held on to the handle of the mob stick. She resumed mobbing the floor."Wow! Sandra is such a beautiful name... How long have you been here?" Steve asked.Sandra appeared to be surprised by his odd question."How long I have been? Is that what you are asking me?""Yes," he affirmed. "Oh, come on.... not long ago...I thought you were at the banquet when the king permitted my mistress to inhabit the castle!"Steve grabbed hold of his hair as if he has been disoriented and was trying to put himself in order again."Pardon my negligence..." he smiled at her and continued, "I was wondering if you could make out some time for me, I would like to know you more!"I knew what was coming next. I just hope, my stepbrother Steve will have the gut to let his emo
Alpha Ammon tabbed Steve on the shoulder. "Give it some thought, it's not bad if you do so but don't do it for a long time. I know you will be fine in no distant time, kid! Don't think too much!" he tabbed Steve on the shoulder again before walking out on us just like, Eric did.The Alpha and Eric did not leave because they were heartless and insensible to the plight that their ally was in. I. believed they left because they wanted to give Steve some time to think and put himself back in order. That was how I understood it.Vera was the next in line to leave. "I think I will have to wait at the other side while you put yourself together," said Vera. She walked out too.I never took my eyes off her until she was gone and out of sight.I turned to Steve. "I think it's time you put yourself in order. Remember you are a man and not a woman!""Yeah, I know!" he nodded yes to what I said. "You know how I feel, don't you?""I do! I feel your pain....it has never been easy for me just as it
Vera turned to me and said apologized. "I'm sorry for doubting you. I was wrong the whole time I thought you were lying."I was not interested in her apologies rather I was more interested to know why lady Gia's spirit has decided to suddenly visit me without warning."Do you know why she decided to show up here?""No, but, I guess you are the one who summoned your Spirit."" What the hell are you talking about? When did I do that?" I asked"I guess the letter we read had something to with her.... maybe it was that summoned her here. Moreover, we are in her castle. What do you expect from a restless soul?""I believe you," I told her. "Maybe, I should summon her again!""No, I will not support you on that...you know it's a very bad idea. Her soul needs to rest. Let her be...let her rest in peace."I abandoned the idea to summon Gia's spirit even though I couldn't stop getting enough from her. I felt like having her all day long talking to me. I know deep down that it was not possible.
I listened as she began reading the letter to me."Dear Louis, I know that someday you will find this letter. This is the least I could do to let you know that I have always loved you from the bottom of my heart. You caught my heart when I held your tender hhand'ssandlegs in my arms. You were just an infant who I could not abandon or allow Margarita to kill. That was why I escaped to Muldoch and found a new home--this castle. I have always wanted the best for you but am afraid, I may not be here for you any more. I want you to know that it was never my intention to abandon you but, I will have to. I have no other choice. You will take it from here my dear.I believe you will survive in any condition you find yourselfrselfin. I wish you the best of luck in all you are doing. Always remember your past. Let it always be the basis for your existence... always remember who you are.You are my child although you are not my biological daughter, I consider you one. The love I have for you eq
Later on the next night, I and Ammon, my Lycan mate went to the castle which was to be inhabited by Vera and her Witches. On the balcony, we sat and enjoyed some sweet discussions.Because the Alpha was a funny type, I would laugh any time he comes up with any of his funny jokes. However, he took me by surprise when he knelt on the ground, right in front of me and began to apologise. Why was he apologizing?"Louis, I'm sorry for all that has happened between us. You are the best mate any Lycan out there could get. I'm sorry for putting you through enormous pain. I shouldn't have abused you through those dark times of my life but, I did. I'm sorry, Louis, I want you to forgive me for that's all I ask from you!" he bent his head and never wanted to look at me.I lifted his face slowly to look at him but to my greatest surprise, he was shedding tears. His tears compelled me to cry. I was moved by tears since I can not stand the scene of watching people cry especially, my loved ones."I f
The King glanced at Vera for a few minutes and said, "I know her... she approached me not long and asked for permission to have the castle!" The king looked specifically at Vera and asked. "Is this all you could do?" "No, your majesty!" replied Vera, "I know you think of me as a bad person... I know you think I have bad intentions but I don't. All I want from you is to have access to the castle and keep the memory of lady Gia alive."The king was still in doubt about Vera's honesty. He turned to look at me. "Are you sure about this, Louis? Are you sure you are making the right decision now? There is no going back on my word?""Yes, your majesty. Grant her permission to have the castle in my name." I paused for a moment and glared at Vera."You see, your majesty," I continued, "I owe my life to this woman. When margarita killed my mother, she was among those Witches that took care of me and ensured that I was safe all the time. If you let her have the castle, it's the same thing as ha
Just when we are not expecting him to speak, Steve stood to his feet and began talking."Your majesty, that was an incredible opening and sure that my fellow guests agree with that. Thank you very much for your benevolence but I must ask a favour from you." "Oh, I see...a favour?" said the king."Yes, my king. I need a favour from you...it's a favour which I'm very convinced that you can grant if it pleases your majesty."The King seemed to be impatient as he quickly ask Steve to go ahead and make his formal request."Yes, go ahead and make your request!""Thank you, your majesty," Steve thanked before proceeding with his request. "If it pleases your majesty, may he grant me the ownership of the quarter at the side of the city?""Oh, I see...that's a tough one!" began the king. "That's tough...I thought you said it was gonna be an easy request." The King sighed as if he was easing himself from discomfort. "Anyway, Steve, I have great trust in you. If you don't mind, can you tell me wh
For the next few minutes, Vera remained silent. Perhaps, she has suddenly run out of words... I really can't tell. Or Maybe, she was still thinking about the right answer to present to me concerning my humble request."You are not talking, Vera!... You are not saying anything... Why did you suddenly become quiet?"I asked while expecting her to reply to me immediately. She never did. Vera began walking away from me. I did not try to stop her. I let her do what was on her mind at that moment. At first, I thought she was going to walk out on me. I was wrong, she never did. Instead, she walked only a few meters and stopped.... about four meters so to say.She was still turning her back on me. I guess she was going to say something after pausing her movement abruptly."I'm sorry to disappoint you again, but I can't go with you to the banquet at the king's palace."I countered immediately. "And why will you say that?.... I ask you again, what's the problem?""I can not go to the palace of a
