-Aria-

Dante walked out with a breeze of annoyance which he left behind and I wondered what it was he was discussing with Adonai who had a knowing grin on his face as he watched him storm out.

“Your brother seems to be very mad about something,” I commented casually, guardedly.

“How are you doing this morning?” Adonai asked instead, ignoring what I had said. I sighed and decided there was no use pushing it. If I did, it would look more obvious that I was interested in Dante’s mood and was not supposed to be.

“I am fine,” I replied with a small smile. “I came to thank you for saving me yesterday.”

“You should be more careful next time,” Adonai said, returning to what he was doing. “You might not be so lucky next time.”

I suddenly had a feeling he was being deliberately harsh on me but I waved it off. Perhaps, I was overthinking and it was too early to conclude that.

However, I could not completely do away with the thought and as I stared at him engrossed in the work behind him, I did n

    -Asher-I sat with a long face in the courtroom, listening to all the complaints of the ingrates I had as council members.“We might think that we are lucky to have been just punished by Adonai because he would have taken drastic measures against us and our people but he did not. But as lenient as it seems, we still have to pay a heavy fine,” one of them pointed out and there was a murmur of agreement in the room.“This has taken us to a lower level, even more than we had expected. I mean, I thought the plan was to get our pack elevated, but now the reverse is the case,” another said.“I think we should all calm down,” Derick said. He was the only one who had my back and my most trusted lieutenant in the whole of the pack. I trusted him with all my endeavors and he always supported me. “It is not the alpha’s fault that the plan had not gone as intended. Things like this happen sometimes. Arguing about it within ourselves is never the solution.”“So you tell us what the solution is, De

    -Aria-I dragged my feet into the room and opened the door angrily. I stopped halfway into the room to stare at the heap on my bed. I sighed as the realization hit me. It’s just Prisca. She had not gone back home and of course, after the last conversation we had, I had implied I did not mind having her around. After all, she had a habit of sticking around and since I had concluded that she was good to be with me, I did not bother about that.She jumped up when she heard me walk into the room but the smile on her face faded away when it met my frown.“What happened?” she looked at me questioningly.“Nothing,” I replied rather sharply and sat on the edge of the bed grudgingly.“Nothing happened and your face is like this?” she shook her head at me disapprovingly.“You know, I had gone to see Adonai,” I began and quickly added, “To thank him for saving me from those wolves,” because of how she looked at me.“Okay? So what happened?” she pushed.“And then he was acting all special and pri

    -Asher-The journey to the soothsayer was a very long one but Derick had kept assuring it was worth it and the said soothsayer was very good according to him. I had no doubts however that I could get answers since the last time I had gone to a witch, I was able to get what I wanted.I did not think though, that the solution to my problem and that of my packs does not lie within the confines of a soothsayer. I was afraid to think it was beyond that, but since I had no way of knowing what the problem was, and not to then think of the solution, I had to make do with what I had.We finally got there and it was a distant land void of people which was good for me because werewolves were not meant to have anything to do with witches or soothsayers of any kind. It was an offense punishable by death and unheard of, by an alpha.“Alpha of the Moonbeam tribe,” a raspy voice called from the small building ahead of us even before we entered. I was not very much fascinated that the man, the voice s

    -Aria-Since Adonai had decided to act funny, I decided I was not going to pay any attention to him as well so he would not think he had a hold on me in any way by behaving the way he was. I had a feeling he was doing it intentionally, but for whatever reason it was, I would not let him have the pleasure of intentions.I had not had a thought, that Dante might have a hand in it. Not until now. But it does not seem likely. There had been a knowing look on Adonai’s face which suggested he was doing it all on his own accord without any external influence.It was hurting, that Adonai acted the way he did after the moment he had together before now. I should have known it meant nothing to him.Though I knew for a fact that I had better expect and be ready for retaliation from Dante. He looks every inch a back bitter, and speaking against me to Adonai would be his most move.I had a feeling in my guts that I was still way up against Dante in his own game. It did not make any sense though, b

    -Lara-Jasmine and the other lady which I presumed to be her friend walked past me hand in hand, laughing like two she-goats. I scowled at them. Even though they were not looking at me. I had a feeling they were mocking me. Because I had seen Jasmine looking towards me while she was talking to the lady and they laughed.How dare they make a mockery of me? Jasmine must have thought she was better off than everyone here and I am going to teach her just how wrong she was.But now, I was more annoyed that the chief cook had been laughing along with them. I can take Jasmine’s mockery only because she is a princess just like me, but I would not have a maid insult me.I walked briskly into the kitchen and pulled her hand roughly.“My lady…” she gasped in shock, rushing to save the bowl she was holding from hitting the ground.“Who is your lady?” I scowled at her. “And what were you discussing with those idiots that just left this place?”“What are you talking about my lady?” she asked, looki

    -Asher-The ride back to the pack was filled with questions and worries. I was fuming with anger as well, for so many things and I could not wait to get an answer to all my questions.The seer had said the curse was not broken. Even though I had acted tough, I had been shaken by that realization and I hoped earnestly that it was true. If the curse was truly not broken, I would lose a lot of things. I would lose the respect and reverence of my people, I would lose relevance. I had struggled for years to make sure my place as the alpha of the pack was redeemed, only for that man to tell me everything had been a sham.“Maybe you should have been a little patient alpha,” Derick said behind me while we walked back to the palace together and I slowed my pace to listen to him. “I can see you are conflicted within and have many questions you need answers to which the seer would have provided. But you had been hasty in taking his life.”“You do not understand Derick,” I said with a sigh. “I wa

    -Asher-“Oh so now you are ready to talk,” I raised a brow at her and she swallowed visibly. There were beads of sweat on her forehead. It was already obvious that what I had feared was true.“Yes, indeed, I am not pregnant,” she finally said and my hands fell weakly beside me. It was not like I had not expected it, I had thought of the worst but hearing her say it, a confirmation of the reality I was in, was almost too much to bear. So the seer was right after all.“Why…?” was the only word that could come out of my lips.“I am so sorry but I did it too for us. I did it for your prestige.”I glared at her.“Can you listen to yourself, Crystal?” I shook my head at her. “You did it for my prestige? So what were you going to do when it was time for you to deliver? What would we present to the people since no baby is growing in you?”“It does not matter,” she said. “We can tell them anything and they would believe. You did say the curse had been broken, so to make full proof of it, I sai

    -Prisca-I was enjoying Jasmine’s company more than ever before and she was doing better than the last few weeks. We discussed a whole lot of things and did everything together just like in the good old days and I was so happy about it.“The ball is getting closer and closer by the second,” I told her excitedly and she rolled her eyes at me.“For goodness sake Prisca, this is the third time you are telling me this. I wondered why you are this excited when you do not even have a date,” she said and I frowned at her.“Hey, that is not a nice thing to say to me.”“I am sorry,” she laughed and made to put a hand on me but I brushed her away. I was really upset with her. “Oh come on, don’t be so mad, I said I was sorry.”“I do not appreciate that you say such a thing to me, Jasmine,” I told her. “I have been complaining about this to you before now and you think it is fun to mock me and laugh it off at my face for not having a man by this age.”“Geez, Prisca…do you take it this seriously?

    - Adonai -Aria stopped dead at the door and I quickly pushed Diane off me. She looked surprised for a while that I did then followed my eyes and turned round to the door.She had no expression on her face when she saw Aria. Aria walked away quietly and I ran after her."Aria wait..."But she was too fast and I did not want to create a scene outside where the maids and guards were parading."Shit, shit, shit," I muttered under my breath as I returned to the room. "Why did you do that?"I turned to Diane and she looked confused."Do what?" She asked."Hug me!" I half yelled. "Why did you do it?""Why? I thought you said we were family?" She looked at me and her eyes were getting teary."Yes I did, but..." I did not know what to say anymore. How the hell do I convince Aria that what she saw was not what it looked like?"It's just a hug, right?" Diane said but I was not listening to her. I was thinking of Aria.- Aria -I closed the door behind me and breathed out heavily. It can't be wh

    Dante -How can I escape this? The guilt came washing down on me all over again and now Adonai wants that lady to remain in the palace. It was her knowing eyes and strong resolve about her mother's death that gnawed me the most. She seems to know more than we think she does.I couldn't even sleep well, filled with the fear that she might creep in on me. Those ceaseless dreams I had sponsored my worry. There has to be a connection but only I knew and felt it.I strolled out of the palace to clear my head but even while I walked, the same thoughts clouded my mind. I did not know how long I had walked till I began to see trees and realised I was approaching the border.I stopped and sat on a big stone to rest. Not long after, an arrow flew past me, missing my skin with just an inch. I jumped up, and a werewolf pinned me down, scratching my face. I winced and struggled to get it off me but it was quite strong.It stopped fighting and transformed into a beautiful young lady. We remained s

    - Adonai -"I don't think this is a good idea, Adonai," Aria said. "I understand you want to console Diane as much as you can but having her in the palace is not a good idea.""And why is that?" I wanted to know."I just don't feel comfortable with it," she crossed her arms over her chest"You were the one who accepted her as a cook here in the first place. You did not see that as a problem until now that we know she is the daughter of a woman who was like family to me. Come on Aria.""You don't understand. It's not about her being Maria's daughter. It's her sneaky behaviour I am concerned about," she stated."She must have acted that way because of the intentions she came with, to find out about her mother's death," I explained, and when I did, I realised that it was no solid reason."She believed we killed her mother!" Aria stressed. " I wonder what gave her the belief but her resolve seems strong. All the words in that meeting did not make any sense to her. I am worried that she st

    - Dante -I took two steps backwards instinctively when Diane revealed who she was."I need an explanation as to how my mother died," she said amidst tears, and I looked at Adonai."I have no explanation for that, Diane. I am so sorry for the death of your mother but you must know that we all felt the same," he consoled."You leave me with no choice than to think you killed her then," she said."Why would I kill your mother? She was like a mother to me too. Hell, she took care of me from childhood. She has served this household since my parents were alive. You think I would want to eliminate her?""Everyone knows you, alpha Adonai. You don't have feelings and you don't care about my mother. Stop acting like you do. Because if you did, you would have tried finding those that killed her. But ever since I stepped into the palace, I never heard of you trying to. The only thing you've got are stories. I demand to know how my mother died and why she had to die."My heart ached within me. I

    - Zafa -It was such a dramatic evening. I couldn't help admiring Adonai for how well he solved everything. Ken walked away shamefully with the family he almost lost from the fire he created. Those innocent kids would have died because of his foolishness. I hope this teaches him the lesson he has refused to learn all these years.Everyone began to disperse, and I lost track of Loveth in the crowd. My eyes had been on her until she suddenly disappeared. I had wanted to have a word with her after everything had quieted down, but she was just out of my sight the moment I blinked my eyes.Was she avoiding me? Not after the hot night we had, right? Perhaps, she was just shy, or was it the moral guilt? I could not tell which it was. You can never tell with women.I might have to wait till she was done with the running and hiding games. One thing was certain, she wouldn't run forever.- Dianne -I dismissed the rest of the maids after dinner and finished the rest of the clean-up, humming a s

    - Zafa -I woke up with a hangover and rolled off the bed. I walked straight to the bathroom to have a bath and felt much better afterward.I returned to find only a heap on the bed. Loveth was nowhere to be found. Now I couldn't remember if she was here when I had gotten off the bed or if she had left earlier.The memories from the previous night came rushing in and I felt a wave of excitement run through my veins. She had come to me.I knew she wouldn't be able to stay away for so long. That's my girl. Which makes things easier for me. I had thought it would take more to get her back but apparently, she was not as hard as she imagined herself to be. Leaving the army to stress me when all she wanted was a good fuck.I would have to let her know though, that doing what we did doesn't mean I had feelings for her. Sex wasn't love. After all, she was the one who came to me. Secondly, I was drunk so it wasn't me taking advantage of her.I knew how women can get when it comes to having sex

    - Zafa -What the hell is wrong with me? Why have I allowed my emotions to get to me and make me treat Loveth the way I did?I did not mean to hurt her, even though I was upset with the way she was always with Dante. Now she has withdrawn from the army, and not only do I need her there, but that would mean she would be away from me.I can't have Loveth out. She is one of the best warriors I have."You can't resign...please," I instinctively added the last part. This is not the time to let my ego control my decisions, so I dropped it off and pleaded. But not even that could persuade her. She was rigid, so I decided to meet Aria instead. Perhaps she would listen to me.Aria had a blank look on her face when I spoke to her."Well, what do you want me to do?" She finally said when I was done."You could help me talk to her," I told her."I'm sorry but I can't. Loveth has made her choice and I respect her decision," she said."Luna please," I pleaded. "You know Loveth is one of the best w

    - Loveth -"Hey," I heard someone call and turned round slowly, recognising the voice. Not again..."How are you doing today? Loser?""What do you want this time?" I asked Sheila with a sigh. She was facing my existence with those two puppets of hers."Funny of you to think I would want anything from you," she said and they giggled. Talk of sound effects."Well, you keep budging me, leaving me with no choice but to think you want something," I told her, and she frowned."Well maybe I do," she moved closer and pulled my hair to its roots. "Maybe I want you to shut your crab up when I am talking to you.""Let go of me," I sucked in the pain. I would not give her the pleasure. But she still held on, pulling it harder."Or what, you're gonna fight me like you did last time? You never learn, do you? You think you are something because Zafa let you off the hook the last time."I knew she was trying to provoke me to react so she would leverage on it but at the same time, I would not have he

    - Loveth -I did not know how I lost hold of my emotions and fell into Dante's ready arms. Love for Zafa was causing me so much pain, and he was doing it intentionally, yet I could not help it."What is the matter, Loveth?" Dante asked softly into my ears and I was tempted to tell him. I moved away and wiped my tears."I'll be fine," I said with a smile."Are you sure?" He asked with a look of concern on his face. "You can tell me anything.""I know and I appreciate you for your concern.""Hmm," he breathed out, observing me. "You promise?""Yeah." But even as I said that more tears gathered in my eyes, and I had to leave quickly.Immediately, I made a turn, and someone grabbed me roughly by the arm."What the hell," I gasped in pain and turned round to meet the angry eyes of Zafa piercing into mine."What is wrong with you?" He said between gritted teeth."You're hurting me," I struggled to get out of his grip while wondering what the hell he was talking about."Are you so cheap that
