As I watched, Leah got up from the pool and began walking in my direction. I made a desperate plea with some cackling. The wolves did nothing but watched with the pleasure of what was about to happen next. "Okay wait, I will pull off and join you. Just give me more time, I promise you," I used my hand to demonstrate as I pleaded.It appeared she was not ready to listen to me. probably, she has had enough of my crabs. "I'm not listening to any one of those bullshit crabs of yours again," she laughed while looking determined to pull in the pool with her. I knew from the very moment Leah was going to do something stupid if I don't comply with her. I already knows what she was capable of. "Okay Leah, you have to slow down, I will do it," she was metres away from me when I began pulling my clothes. Under Leah's unmerciful threat I quickly pulled off my clothes, leaving just my underwear and the clothes to cover my relatively busty boobs. I felt shy immediately after I pulled off. The alph
The Alpha and Eric could believe what they had seen. "Wow! That was awesome," began Eric.The Alpha swam closer to me. "How the hell on earth were you able to do that?" "Just a simple magical technique. You want to learn about it?" I teased him before swimming towards the direction where Leah was. "Are you okay Leah?" She laughed and replied. "Yes, I'm fine but, why are you the only one winning all the time? Tell me, is it bad if I win just once? Ever since we were kids I have been trying to beat you on this but, it amazes me, I have not been able to do that. What a shame!" We both laughed. The wolves were also, still talking about the fight I had with Leah. I don't know what Eric was trying to describe to Ammon but, I did hear him mention my name and that of Leah. "You see, I told you it was a bad idea to fight me but, you insisted. Do you want to fight again, I'm ready?""Hell no, I'm not going to fight again, not today, especially after that humiliating defeat. No way, that's go
I couldn't contain the horror I may start witnessing therefore, I called at the wolf at once. "Help! Help! Help!..." I shouted at the top of my voice. Luckily, the wolves did respond from a far distance. "Loius! What's the problem? Why are you shouting and calling for help?" One of them asked. I had no idea who I was talking to since, the distance between us was far and the vegetation around, me couldn't let me see their faces."I think Leah, is in danger!" I shouted again. "What happened? Did she injure herself?""It's maybe more than that! I have no clue what might have happened to her. I'm all alone in the last place, I saw her before she disappeared. Come quickly before, it's too late!""Hold on! We are coming now. Meanwhile, get out from there and hide in hiding in safety. You can come out only when we are back. Hold on, we will be back in seconds!" They told me. Was I in danger? Is there anything they knew about this area but, had hidden away from me? I obeyed and moved back
"I always suspected that you were up to something! How can you betray our cause after all these years?" Lamented Eric. He was disappointed. "Now that you have known my real colour, can you hand over the witch to me? I promise you, we burn her with diligence and ensure that not even one particle of her ash will escape. We will ensure that she is burned down to earth," Derek scorned. He and an army of Revolutionists began advancing slowly, towards where we stood to witness the ugly scenes that were unfolding. No doubt, Derek has revealed his through colour and who he was working for undercover. The Alpha expressed shock when he saw Derek with his army of Revolutionists. They were not decimated in any way as Eric and Derek had told him, on the night I was rescued. For almost a minute he was silent as he stared both at Eric and Derek. Finally, he pointed at the Revolutionist leader who was standing there with Derek. "I thought, you told me, Eric, that this evil man had been severely in
Like a dream, we became isolated in the middle. Only God knows the mayhem about to befall us. Our condition was something with virtually no way out, the only option left was to surrender, will that be the best option?"You have no place to go! No escape! The only way to evade the destruction coming your way right now is to give up the witch. Hand her over and I will let you live Alpha Ammon!" Proud Bradley bragged. He took a glance at his men to ignite mockery. They did fall for his trick and went wild with hysteria.We stayed calm and said no more words. At that point, one could imagine what was going on in the mind of the Alpha. He lacked his Lycan power to battle Derek, Bradly and his men, only Eric was our hope. However, only he can not fight more than thirty men plus, a fellow Werewolf who knows him very well. I on the other hand had no experience fighting too many people all at once. That has never happened before not until now. I concluded that an attempt is better than giving
And so Bradley called for a retreat, Derek who has been beaten to a pop managed to evade Eric's last devastating grip and escaped. He gave up on the fight whilst to duo were still in their Lycan state. They all withdrew, and about two of Bradley's men survived the onslaught, out of up to thirty men.Eric chased them as they were escaping but Ammon quickly called on him to give up the chase. "Let them go, we will catch up with them some other time. Their defeat had only exposed their weakness. We will utilize this in our next encounter with them!" When the attackers left, we became obsessed with finding out what happened to Leah, and where we can find her as well. We never stopped seeing stains of blood all over the ground, it makes it even harder to trace Leah."I think we should disperse, that's the only way we can find her on time," said Ammon.Even without being told, I knew Leah was no longer alive. It was only a matter of time before, we spot her corpse."Come with me, Loius. He
I watched them bury Leah with nothing to do. She was and gone like the others. The reality which I never saw coming had just started. Once again, I found myself all alone in this God-forsaken world. I cried back to the Alpha's little cottage in the middle of the wood. Alpha Ammon never removed his comforting arm from my shoulders. He kept assuring me that, it wasn't the end of the world, and that the only thing I can do to please Leah's soul is to remain alive. If I must seek revenge, I must stay alive. The Alpha was right after. This, I concluded after long deliberation.When we got back to the cottage, there was not a sign of any alive in the house. It was cold and dark. Ammon made me sit down in one of the seats in the living room, while both of them looked for a way, to make fire. Soon, Eric was back with a set of firewood. He made a blazing fire outside the building and called us over to warm our bodies."Hey, guys! Come on over here. I have made a fire to warm you up enough."T
The Alpha began walking slowly in the direction of the armed man, while I stayed back with Eric to see what he intended to do. "We don't want any trouble, man! I suggest you put your arms down so we can know ourselves better, and prevent any potential hostilities."Even after the Alpha's quiet and peaceful tone, the armed man refused to heed his words. He never stopped pointing his arrow in our direction. Instead, he became more aggressive. "Stop! Who are you and what are you doing here?" The Alpha obeyed and stopped walking in his direction. "Okay, man, I will obey you if you will drop your weapons down.""Why should I do that? Huh! Tell me one reason why I shouldn't take you down, all of you?" At that point, I was forced to intervene. Only if the armed man knew the people he was confronting, he wouldn't dare to do such. "Because we are not posing any threat to you. Can't you see that? Can't you see we are just peaceful people who hate trouble?" I asked."Hahaha!" He eased a short
"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
