It was Bradley and Derek that Magaritha sent after me. Vera quickly intervened. "I can not allow you to waste your strength on them. Go for the bastard we will fight these," said Vera. I watched as Vera and her Witches quickly engaged Bradley and Derek. However, Magaritha was never gonna allow me to look for so long. She came after me as well. "Now, you are gonna die you, idiot!" She told me and then changed into a flame of fire and headed in my direction. I guess she was going to consume me.I dodged our first encounter and mocked her. "Come on, you fake Witch Mistresse, you can do better than This! Even my late mother whom you killed will not be impressed by poor skill to hit me.""Oh, yeah? Is that what you are saying?" She made a second attempt but then, I fled quickly from her target before she hits. This time, it was her who tried to mock me. "What's up, you little whore! Why are you running? You should have stayed. Hahaha!" She laughed at me and tried for the third time to la
I gazed at Margarita as she battled to live. She knew she was going to die. Her time was up! And for all the innocent lives she has taken in the past, she was going to pay for them.She looked weak and helpless. The funny part remained that she was my Aunt....but, a wicked one! And there is no mercy for the wicked.For killing my mother and people that matter a lot in my life, she will pay dearly.She was breathing heavily. I could hear her mumbling some words although, I had no idea what she was saying. Perhaps, she could be trying to summon her power. Whatever she was going to do, it was too late. I have already had her in a difficult situation. There was nothing she could do than to face the death staring at her....that death is no other person but. Yes me...the very person she wanted to eliminate at all costs.Margarita took notice of hesitation. But was I really hesitating? Hell no, I wasn't! I was just thinking about the sad end that await her. I was just thinking about how I wi
I approached them slowly. Most of the Lycans with Milan were also dead but, it appears that there was a handle of Lycans, in their wolf state, who was still standing. They appeared to pose no threat to the Alpha or our army. In fact, from what I have seen so far, it was likely that they fought on our side but, who were these Werewolves? It was only the Alpha, Milan and the dead Werewolves in their human form."You got her?" The Alpha asked, as he slowly lift his left hand to place on his right shoulder. "Did you kill Magaritha!""Yes, I got her!" I smiled with a deep smile that I was sure explains to him that Magaritha's death came with a price. "She died like a dog!" He smiled back and said, "well, done my mate for life! You did it!" He was Looking at me the whole time we were speaking but, he never moved an inch away from Milan who also appeared to be his captive. I was forced to ask him what he intend to do with Milan. "What about him? What are you going to do with him?" I pointed
"Calm down!" Ammon tried to downplay my curiosity by asking me to feel relaxed while he explains. I looked at him steadily as if I was beginning to feel nervous."There is nothing to calm down for! I mean this is strange! How can your enemies turn around all of a sudden and began fighting for you?"He tried to force a smile upon his face but he could not perhaps maybe, we was in the middle of a war. It was not acceptable. But then, I wondered what was so funny about what I said."Are you going to listen to me or not?" he asked with a taunting face. "Or are you gonna continue to live in bewilderment while all of this goes on?" continued Ammon."Come on, go on.... just say them...I Wana hear them out!" I replied impatiently."Well, I will tell you what happened." I remained silent and listened as he began talking. "They couldn't fight me because I used to be their leader before, I was sent into exile by this son of a bitch, here!" he pointed to Milan's lifeless body on the ground.As i
Shortly afterwards, the prisoners were gathered, just like the Alpha had instructed. We gathered on the outskirts of the woods. The Alpha stood at their front, a few metres away from our prisoners. He was not alone, I stood beside him, and Steve and Eric were also standing close by. The Alpha was about to deliver his speech to them. We all listened as he began."I guess all of you know why I had summoned all those who surrendered in this fight to save their lives and the lives of other people, you did the right thing and I promise you that you will not be punished as long as you are willing to cooperate with us!" said the Alpha.There was silence after he had finished speaking. I guess our prisoners or the defeated army as they may be called, were taken aback by Ammon's statement. Perhaps, they thought he was not serious about his promise or maybe he was up to something. When Ammon saw that no one was willing to object to the statement he made, he continued, "As I said previously, I'
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
"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
