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
The lad panted fast immediately after he heard Eric's intention about him. He might have thought that, could be the worst scenario for his problem. "Please, don't do that! That is cruel before God and humanity!" He pleaded.His pleas made us burst into laughter. Of course, Eric was not serious about his threats to have the lad killed, and his dead body thrown into the open so that wild beasts could feed on him. Neither was Ammon going to implement it. "We will spare only if you will cooperate with us," the Alpha told him.A glimpse of a smile appeared on his face upon hearing he will be spared only if he co-operates with us. "Anything! Anything you say! Name it! I'm willing to do, as long as I don't get killed by you!"I listened and observed as the Alpha and Eric queried and taunted the lad. The funny scenes brought us some relief thus; our anxiety has reduced ever since the funny scene erupted. "Maybe we should take him away from here to a more secure place, we never can tell when
We wondered the reason behind the sudden gesture Steve had made towards the necklace Ammon was holding."Why are you pointing at the necklace when it has nothing to do with the question you have been asked," I asked. Steve's reply was a swift one, "because it has everything to do with the question you have asked. The origin of my quest for revenge started from the necklace you are all seeing here," he made brief eye contact with Ammon before requesting the Alpha should give it back to him. "Can I have it back, Sir?"Ammon handed him back the necklace without wasting time. "Now what Lad? Now that you have the necklace, what do you plan to tell us next?"We were baffled by the way Steve cherished the necklace when it was handed over to him. He quickly opened the casing in the pendant briefly, before closing the case again. His actions make no sense to us."I know you might wondering why I cherished this necklace so much," Steve held the necklace with one of his hands as if he wanted al
