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
I turned around to face him because I have been speaking with my back turned against him. "let's go right the way!" I threw my hands around his neck and began kissing him. We kissed passionately for some minutes before breaking it.We had hardly broken off from each other when I sighted Eric standing at one end of the garden clapping his hands with a smiling face."Well done, guys!" he was laughing as he hailed us. "I heard the two of you making plans to go to Muldoch. I think I'm gonna go with you!" said Eric."Just say the word, Eric! You never know what might happen if you make up your mind to go with us!" encouraged the Alpha."Fine! If that's what you want to hear, the in hear them now, I'm going to Muldoch with you!" said Eric."You are welcome to go with us!" I told him happily.Indeed, we set out for Muldoch the next hour. With us were Eric and some of his Lycan fiercest fighters. We rode on horses until we arrived at the gate of the town.It has been quite some time now and t
We were still at the entrance to the town and had no idea of the crowd that still waiting to greet us. "Excuse me, your majesty!" I took permission from the entourage and made my way to where I saw Vera. Because I believed she was a ghost, I thought she was gonna disappear in an instant upon my arrival. Much to my surprise, this ghost of Vera that I saw did not disappear instead, she stood her ground. I was the first among the two of us to initiate a conversation. "What are you doing here, Vera? Why is your soul still wandering here on earth? Are you trapped?" These were the questions that I asked her. She held my hands and I could feel her. Wait a minute, maybe I was wrong, maybe she is not a ghost, if that's true then, what could have happened? "Oh, my God, Vera! You are not dead! You are alive? How did this happen?" "You could feel it, could you?" she smiled. "Now you, believe me, I'm not dead!" she began dragging me away from the crowd to more private ground. We could rarely
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
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
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
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
