"Look at who we have over here!" Began Derek upon seeing Ammon. "I know our paths would cross for the second time. I was right about that! Just take a look at what is happening right now!" "I swear on my mother's grave that I will never let you go unpunished, you bloody backstabber!" The Alpha cursed. His curse was reinforced by the seemly angry Eric. Just like the Alpha, he was not pleased to see the very Lycan who stabbed them in the back. "You son of the bitch! I promise you will regret every one of your actions. You will surely pay a high price!" Eric was not angry, that was an understatement, he was fuming. I'm sure that he was opportune to fight Derek, he wouldn't hesitate or hold anything back, and he will allow the betrayer to have them all. He let Derek feel his great annoyance. He never took his eyes off Derek as he continued to breathe heavily in anger."Oh, easy boy! Take it easy, boys!" Derek smirked and tried to laugh about it but, I quickly interrupted his merriment w
The Alpha was about to react when all of a sudden, Eric showed up. He had just finished killing the last man he was fighting. So to speak, Bradley and his two accomplices were left with no army to protect them or to give some kind of leverage. Eric stood in front of the Alpha. "I'm sorry Ammon, but I'm gonna take this from here." He pointed at Derek this bastard son of the bitch, needs to be taught a lesson he will never forget!" "Oh yeah, look at who we have here," began Derek. "It seems to me that you have not learnt from our last encounter. I could have killed you on the spot but, I was so foolish enough to let you escape, by recommending that they should be put in prison. If I knew you would escape, I would have nailed you in the bud but, thank goodness you are back. It's time to correct the mistake I made the last time we met. Don't expect any mercy this time because you will never get one from me!" "Talk is cheap! Do you know why I hate you? You ought to know by now if you ha
Ammon was holding Bradley to the point of death, he lay on the ground almost unconscious. The Alpha had beaten the so-called leader of the Revolutionists to a pulp when all of the sudden, Magaritha came charging at the Alpha and Eric almost at the same time. I knew that she would unleash her powers on us if we don't do something fast. I guess the Lycans realised this too. "You have to go with Loius, now before it's too late!" Said Ammon. "Look, she is enraged and will stop at nothing until she kills us all! We have to decide if we must achieve victory in this fight!""So, what are you suggesting we must do?" Asked Eric.The Alpha turned towards my direction, amid the charge that the Witch Mistress was making toward them. ", Listen, Eric, there is no time. Like I said before, we must be decisive if we must aver the impending doom on our front. I want you to take Loius and flee. Don't worry about me, I will hold her off until you escape!"At once, my heart began skipping. Does he mean
I ran away from the scene without thinking twice. I had run about a kilometre then I remembered that I forgot to bring along the magic book. I was left in a dilemma. Do I go and pick the Magic book at the expense of my life or should I forget about it entirely and save my life? That was the question I asked myself. Both alternative answers to the question did not align with my interest. The magic book was pertinent to my journey and not just that, it was equally important if the curse that was placed on the alpha by Magaritha must be destroyed. I could not make a quick decision therefore, I stood in the middle of nowhere thinking of what to do. It seemed like it was one of the few moments in my life when my mind went dull. Magaritha's threat is real and not something I will have to gamble with. Because it was not easy for me to hastily decide on the next step to take, I had no choice but to find a good spot where I will rest my head and come up with a good plan.As if good luck was o
I was about to run but then, I saw the magic book laying on the ground while Magaritha was still making a spell. I was caught between saving my life and attempting to rescue the magic book which was much close to Magaritha. Amid my hesitation to run away, the Alpha called out again as Magaritha's threats grew."What the hell are you waiting for? I thought I told you to run away? Why the delay now?" His face was not bright, not at all, as he queried. I was also uncertain about how to explain to him my reason for hesitating. I was speechless nevertheless, I signalled to him by pointing at the book. "What are you are trying to show me? Wait a minute, are you dumb now?" The Alpha was visibly angry as he asked me. "The book over there!" I pointed at the book finally. He followed the direction of where I was pointing and saw the book."Is that what you can't say out?" As I watched he made a daring move and at once he picked up the magic book and threw it in my direction. Magaritha was yet
They all kept silent and stared at me for as long as they could. They could not talk but they can move. I really can't tell what the hell was going on! Was I hallucinating? It remains a question, I could not answer. I walked closer to one of the men. He was a talk huge man probably in his thirties. He stared at me as I approached him but did little to nothing. His colleagues also did nothing but kept gazing at me. Such as strange scenes! I wondered what was going on. Are these people real or was someone trying to mess up with my head? It was questioned, I cracked my head to answer but, no answer seemed to be coming at the moment.Suddenly, another thought came to my mind. I decided to try new things this time around. I glanced at the young man in front of me for a few seconds before deciding to do the unthinkable. I step on his toes with all my weight on his, to see if my action will elicit a response from him. He did nothing but, stared at me as I match his toes. It was supposed to
I kept a quite long distance from the men lest they attack me, after breaking their spell."Spell unknown, powers in the wind summoned! caught and Caged, these men in powers unknown! Break and free, thy spell anonymous! Mobility restored, speed off the young Witch from Muldoch! Cast thee out, I command. Blood and flesh conjure! Wind and rain conjure! Energy flows here and stops not. Break and shatter in pieces! One-blood Witch, conjure and release, so mote it be!" The spell worked but, I never stayed back to see them recover fully. I rode off with the stolen horse and supplies as quickly as possible, lest they regroup and give me a hot chase like never before in my life!I rode for hours until I became sure that I was no longer in the Dengek forest. It was such a big relief when I looked back and discovered that no one was coming after me. I slowed down so that the horse can gather some strength before, we speed off again. Dotham was still quite far and by now, I was beginning to th
It was confusing! I did nothing but stared at the set of foods on the table. Seconds passed by! Minutes passed by but still, there was no sign of anyone around. The more I gazed at the delicious food on the table, the more it reminds me of how hungry I was at the moment. Although I stole some bread from the men I met earlier, I wasn't opportune to stop for a minute to eat. This was the moment I had to eat. Still unsure of what to do, I inched closer because the temptation to lay my hands on the food was growing stronger. I never rule out the fact anything could have when I began to eat the food. It could something bad or good, I'm not sure but, I had the feeling that something was gonna happen.At last, my feet and hands obeyed the order from my brain, I moved closer and sat at the table and placed one of my hands on the plate containing some dried meat. It was the last thing I wished for myself but, the impulse was too much for me to handle.I picked one of the pieces of dried meat,
"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
