I had to make a decision. Mr Smith was right, the place we were standing at the moment could be a hideout for criminals and very bad people. Since the Alpha and the others are not here anymore, I do not see a reason why I should ignore Mr Smith's warning. At last, my legs obeyed my brain and walk into the cart. He rode forward just like we have been doing before he stopped."Where are you taking me?" I asked because I had no clue about his destination."Oh, about that, I'm going to supply my customers with bread. They are newly baked and still hot. You have some if you don't mind?" He ended his sentence with a long smile."And then, what next?""We will ride back into the city or do you have any place in mind?" "No, I don't," I replied and then remained silent. My mood was not bright at all. Every time I remember Ammon and the others I would feel bad. I believed the Alpha may form two opinions; one could be that I was captured and imprisoned or killed, while the other could be that
Mr Smith pulled the ropes binding to the horses, and they stopped moving abruptly. "Now what Lydia?" He asked but, before he could finish I was already out of the cart. "Thank you for the ride." That was the only sentence I could make after he dropped me. He didn't move instead, he waited to see what will happen."Steve!" I called out at once. They turned back and behold, I was standing not far from them. "I thought you were dead? Thank goodness you are still alive. I became when you fail to return last night. I concluded you might have run some problem," the Alpha sighed to relieve himself as he spokeInstead of replying to him, I handed over him instead, the magic book. "That's what we need! That's the book we sought!" The Alpha stared at me in disbelief as he received the book from me. Was he amazed that I recovered the book or was there something more to that? Only time will tell. "You did it!" He shows Eric and Steve. Meanwhile, Steve walked up to me and touched my hair. "Yo
"I was almost caught by the guards," I began, while they listened by then, we had found a secluded spot, under an oak tree, not too far from the road where Mr Smith had followed. "The guards were intimidating at first. I thought that was the end of my mission. At that moment I regretted embarking on the journey alone. I should have heeded your initial advice but, I guess it was too late by then."Alpha Ammon wasted no time scolding me. "You see why I was against your decision from the very first moment. You couldn't have encountered such if we had gone with you?"Eric also made his opinion made however, he was not in support of the Alpha's argument rather, he partially criticized it. "I don't think our company could have helped her at that moment, Ammon. I hope you are aware that engaging the guards in a fight will be inevitable. Think again?" Next, Steve asked me, "how did you escape from the grips of the guards?""It was difficult, Steve. I told him I was an inhabitant of the town.
"Does it matter? I don't think so! Loius, you have nothing to worry about. You are in safe hands, that I can assure you!" Eric's words were meant to reassure me of their support, as long as they live, I will be safe and no one will burn me at the stake. "Thank you so much, Eric," I told him with all my heart. We have been resting under the oak tree for about two hours now. Ammon had told us that, once we recover our strength will walk home, to his cottage in the middle of the lonely woods. Suddenly, Ammon stood up. "Get up everyone, I think we have had enough rest, it's time to move on, for the journey at hand is a long one." He hardly finished when an arrow from an unknown destination hit Eric hard in the chest. At once, we all got up in shock and rushed to him but, Steve took another hit in the process. It was no longer a fantasy, it was real! We were under attack from unknown enemies. The Alpha grabbed me by the hands and dragged me across a short distance. I fell so hard to the
As I watched from my hidden location, Derek smacked Ammon on the chin and cursed him. "To hell with you! Dirty pig! Do you I was going to make them stop hitting you? You are such a fool!" He spat on the Alpha's face and told the men to give Ammon the beaten of his life. And so it was, the Alpha received the beaten of his life. The merciless men hit him from all directions. He never cried aloud, instead he grumbled in pain. While my heart bleeds from the horrific scene I was witnessing, Derek, Bradley and Magaritha laughed at the top of their voices. Suddenly, Magaritha ordered them to stop. Of course, as expected, the Alpha was bleeding, his Lycan power was nowhere to help him recover quickly because of the curse that Magaritha had placed him. As soon as they obeyed his order and stop, the evil Witch walked a few metres to the Alpha, just like she had done before. She pulled his hair and forced him to sit up. Her grip on his hair was the only support the Alpha had while sitting up.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Began the Alpha. There was a little glimpse of a smile on his face despite the fact, that he had injuries from the heatings he had sustained from the Magaritha, Bradley, Eric and indeed, the entire Revolutionists with the attackers. Bring the book over here.""One minute please." I went into the other room to fetch the magic book. I returned with it in my right hand. "There you go!" I handed it over to him. There was a brief smile on his face when he held the book in his hand even though, he might be reeling from the pain that has been inflicted on him. Next, he looked at me. "When will you start studying the book to master the proceedings for the ritual?""Now!" I told him with a smile on my face which I'm sure at the moment, he was not expecting. He glanced at me in amazement maybe, he wasn't expecting to hear from me. "Why are you staring at me that way?"He looked away when I asked why he was looking at me. "Nothing! I think your decision is perfect!""Yeah,
We kissed for about two minutes before, we separated. The warmness that I had felt when we were kissing triggered a special kind of feeling in me. As if I was hypnotized, I moved my left hand to his face. There, I romanced his face for some seconds before, giving him a peck on the very forehead that had serious beatings earlier in the day. He adjusted more to the edge of the bed to allow fit in, beside him. I moved my head closer to his chest but, I didn't lay on him for fear I might make him bleed or hurt from his injuries. He held my hands and we remained in that position silently, for as long as I could remember. I awoke in the morning only to see myself in bed with the Alpha. I almost had a memory relapse, I couldn't remember how and when I got into bed with him. However, it did take a twinkle of an eye for my memories to come back. When I did remember how we ended up together in bed, I smiled. We have no intimacy, we only cuddled each other to sleep and that's it.I stood for q
The joy in our hearts was enormous. At last, the three of us reunited once again although, one was still missing, Steve. "Shall we sit?" Eric pointed at the sits as if he was showing them to the Alpha. "Sure we can," replied the Alpha as both of them moved to sit down. I also stayed beside the Alpha to listen to all Eric had to tell us about his ugly experience as a prisoner in the hands of the Revolutionists or, whatever they were called. "Why am I seeing so many scars on your body?" Eric appeared to be concerned about the numerous wounds he had seen in the Alpha's body. There were opened wounds on Ammon's forehead, neck, hands and legs. Other parts of his body contained a variety of reddened skin, which suggested he had been given a thorough beating, as Eric was observing at the moment. He could not bear watching the Alpha's injuries from afar, therefore, he got up and squatted beside the Alpha, and began examining his injuries. He held Ammon's arms up to watch closely."What hap
