The Wolves who defected from Milan came to kneel before the Alpha afterwards. The Wolves that Ammon had talked about not long ago.They came in their numbers and knelt on the ground. At the same time, they bowed their heads a the Alpha. It was an absolute show of respect because they never lifted their heads not until their spokesman began speaking.One of them began speaking, he appeared to be the leader of the rebellious group. "Ammon, we are ashamed of ourselves for turning our backs on you, we could have done more to prevent Milan from sending you into exile but, we did nothing! instead we supported him through those years. Please, find a place in your heart to forgive us." They were pleading for their mistakes but then, they had one mouthpiece to intercede on their behalf. That mouthpiece is no other but their leader which the Alpha called by his name.The Alpha did respond to them."Get up, Allan!" began the Alpha. "There is no need for all of these!" The Alpha stole a quick
The scene I was witnessing was nothing less than emotional! Because I stared at Ammon and his wolf brothers hugging themselves, Steve approached me to play one of his funny games on me. "That must be something else! Wow! Oh, my God!" he threw one of his hands around my shoulders and grinned happily when I turned to face him. "Don't tell me you are becoming emotional?" he asked. Perhaps, he had seen the tears coming out of my eyes and he thought that I must have been influenced by what I have seen."You know that's right," I wiped the tears coming out of my eyes.We followed the Alpha's suggestion and marched towards Muldoch. In Muldoch, we were welcomed with open arms. The gate of the town was never shut behind us instead, it was opened even before we came closer to the city.There seemed to be some volunteers among Bradley's men who simply chose to surrender. There were the men who guard the City and its gate.They have gotten a first-hand report about the outcome of the war. Perhaps
The King stood for more than two minutes and said nothing. He was speechless. Then, at last, he began talking."You have indeed come to rescue me?" he asked with a low voice for the first time."Yes, your majesty!" I quickly stepped in to answer him. "You are now a free man, your majesty. No one can keep you captive ever again!"I was certain the King has come back to his senses. Finally, he was beginning to sense genuine freedom. As we watched, he took his first step towards the entrance of his quarter. He was about to step out. I'm pretty he has not seen our faces clearly and neither can he tell who we were."Introduce yourselves and may I know why release me when Bradley is not here?" demanded the king."Because Bradley is dead!.... You have to believe us this time, your majesty. Our conscience is clear and we have not ill thought about you, just like we told you from the onset!""You seem to talk a lot young woman!" said the king as he focused his looks on me.He walked closer to
Next, we headed to the land of the Lycans where the Alpha is going to settle some scores. Not only that, he will fix things for good and then take his rightful position. We marched with him until we arrived at the town of the wolf clan."He is here!" shouted one of the wolves from the clan as they gathered in front of us to welcome the Alpha."Aragon!" the Alpha called his name. The men left the other wolves and ran after Ammon. Without wasting time, he threw his arms around him and they hugged."I knew you would come back, Ammon," began Aragon (that was the name of the man that has come to welcome the Alpha). "I always knew you would come back! It was only a matter of time and here you are now!" The other wolves with Alpha greeted the others wolves waiting. It was a moment that will go down in history as the day when the Wolves united for the Alpha."Yes, I know I would come back! Milan never saw that coming but, I came back at last!" The Alpha smiled, it was a deep one by the way. T
Lady Gia's castle which was taken over by Magaritha was also returned to the Witches who fought alongside, Vera. They were to inhabit the castle for as long as they chose. It was pleasing to have the Witches, the wolves and the humans live together again in harmony, something we never saw coming!Steve left a few days later. I felt uneasy when he left. He was the only closet relative I have now. Although we don't share the same bloodline, one thing was certain, we were raised by the same woman. That woman was no other but the great lady Gia who was also his mother.All day I felt moody. I guess alpha Ammon noticed the sudden change in my mood but he never asked. Who knows, he might have figured it out already.I kept thinking of Steve and Muldoch. It seems the past was haunting me.I never stopped thinking about my childhood memories in Muldoch. Those were the good old days when things were right. Now, I can't believe I am the last one in that order.On the fifth day of staying with a
"Fine!" I began, "you are right!... I have something to talk about. But, I don't know how you will feel about it."The Alpha raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What could it be my love?" he romanced my shoulders again as if he was persuading me to speak."Promise me you will not lose your temper on me if I open up to you!" I requested."Come on, Louis! ... go on and tell me. I think don't think there will be any need to get mad at you!" he stroked my shoulders again before I began speaking again."I feel nostalgic!" I told him."You feel nostalgic?... Really?""Yes, that's how I feel... I want to go back to Muldoch.""Muldoch?" he moved his hand away from my shoulder immediately. He felt like he was in shock. Maybe he wasn't expecting me to come up with such a demand."Yes, Ammon... I wanna go back to Muldoch! I wanna reconnect with my past! Please, permit me to go," I said.The Alpha stood their feet immediately. Did he think was joking or what?He gazed at me for a few seconds befor
We went to the other room where we expect to see the wonder that has been talked about. Our curiosity level was high no doubt about that."Look at this my Lord!" goes one of his men as he pointed at a pile of books.The books were not brought to that room by the men. And it was also not kept in a corner where it could be easily spotted. We saw a plain floor that was dug and filled with dirt."What are these books for?" asked the Alpha."I don't know my Lord... this was why I called for your attention!" said the poor guard as he continued to look into Ammon's eyes as if he was expecting an order from him."Let me take a closer look at them," said the Alpha.He was about to bend and pick up some of the books in his hands but, he changed his mind.He suddenly stood to his feet and glanced at me. "I'm sure you know what these books are and their worth, Louis?"All the while that was going on, I was silent. I never said a word because I was mesmerised by what we were seeing at the moment
We left the castle knowing the content of the letter. I could not processed what I read because I was very emotional.It has been up to a month now that I came back to the Wolf clan or should I say, I reigned as the Luna queen of the clan. By now I was more familiarized with the people and things of the Lycans, unlike the first time I arrived at the clan. Now I have improved significantly in learning their way of life.It was in the morning of the exact day it made a month after my arrival, I went out for a ride on my favourite horse. It was the same horse I stole from Gama. When I was still in his camp, the late Gama permitted me to keep it. That was the horse I took for a ride. I rode up to two kilometres away from the camp. I enjoyed the ride to an unknown destination, I did not stop for a second, I kept moving even though my destination was not clarified. I rode for minutes until I spotted someone familiar standing on the road. I could not believe my eyes at what I saw, it was th
"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
