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
My eyes could not believe what I was seeing. It was the picture of Lady Gia, carefully carved into the inner part of the pendant. In astonishment, I asked; "where did you get this you little brat!" My harsh tone alerted the Werewolves with me. Kane reacted without wasting time. "What's the problem, Louis?" He inched closer to me. Eric also did the same. Steve did nothing but stared at us, I guess in fear and bafflement."I see nothing here but a picture of a woman," said Eric."Me too, what's the problem, Louis? Why the sudden outburst of anger? Do you know who this is?" The Alpha's curiosity made him ask me a series of questions."Yes, of course, I know her. That's Lady Gia--a woman who was like a mother to me," I explained briefly to the Wolves before turning my attention again to Steve. "Where did you get this picture?" Steve lifted his head slowly. "That's my mother. She was killed by the Revolutionists simply because, she was a witch."I was startled by his strange confession.
"What made you believe all the Lad have told you?" Asked Ammon in surprise. Eric did reply. "Because I believe he was telling nothing but the truth. Did you see the look in his eyes, Ammon? Come on, don't tell me you didn't! If you did, you will see for yourself, he was mean the whole he spoke to us." He turned to face me as if the next line of his sentence was directed at me. "I mean, why will a boy of seventeen be doing all alone in the middle of the night? When you figure it out by answering this question, the both of you will realize that this is no joke."While Eric tried to convince us to believe Steve, I had gone far with the thought that this Lad standing in front of me might be the son of lady Gia who was murdered by the Revolutionists. As I stared at him, a sudden surge of pity began building up in me, soon I said the unthinkable. "You are not just thirsty Steve, you look hungry as well. We have some loaves of bread with us, would like to eat them? I will give them to you a
