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
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
