“Oh there you are. What's the reason for this sudden morning walk, my love?” Hireath asked Malakai.
“I'm so sorry for making you worry about me this early in the morning. I just couldn't sleep so I decided to go clear my head. Pardon my manners, my love, let me formally introduce you to our guest. His name is Hector, Alpha of the Halo clan.” “Hector, meet my charming and adorable wife, queen Hireath of the Lycan pack.” Malakai smiled as he introduced Hireath to Hector. “A pleasure to meet the queen. I'm so grateful for the love and hospitality you all have shown towards my mother and I ever since we got here. We are deeply indebted to the Lycan pack.” Hector stretched his hands to shake Hireath. But she rejected the handshake offer in a very cold way. “Oh don't bother. It's not like we're left with another option other than to help your already dead clan. And please I don't want you and your mother to get unnecessary comfortable during the period of your stay here. I'd love for you guys to leave as soon as possible.” “I'm sorry. I didn't realize how much our presence inconveniences you. We'll be sure to stay out of sight and leave as soon as possible.” Hector bowed and left Hireath and Malakai's presence. “My queen, I honestly don't like how you treat our guests with such disdain. You were literally giving him the cold shoulders and it's not like you. Is there something you are not telling me?” “What do you mean? What are you implying by that question?” “I feel like there's something going on that I need to know about. You treat the visitors like people you've had an ugly experience with. Have you heard of them before? Have you had an encounter with them in the past? Why do I keep having this ominous feeling whenever we talk about them?” “I think you're just overthinking things my love. I don't know these people from anywhere and I don't know why I just don't like the energy I feel coming in contact with them. I feel blown away by their presence. Stop sounding like I'm a changed person. I'm still the woman you met and fell in love with. That is something that's never going to change. The feeling we share between each other. It is what has brought us this far and will keep us together forever.” “I am your husband and by that I know you better than anyone else in the world. If I notice any little changes in you, I should be in the best position to say so. My love, I want you back. I want my cheerful wife. Whatever it is that is going on with you, I'm always here. Feel free to talk to me. Don't ever try to do anything on your own. That is why we have each other. To be each other's pillar of support and comfort in pressing times of needs.” “You know I'll keep loving you till the end of the world. Don't hide anything away from me. I promise to be understanding. No matter what the case may be, never forget you have someone who would go to the end of the world to make you happy.” Malakai moved closer to Hireath, drew her closer to himself and gave her a passionate intimate hug. “You mean so much to me, you are my everything. I just hope you never forget that. You are the king of my heart and I'll forever cherish you.” “Oh stop … Hahaha you're making me blush.” “What do you say to us spending the whole day together to rekindle that spark of our love? I'm asking you out on a date. Please can the King of the Lycan pack be my date?” “I'm all yours my queen. Do to me whatever you wish. You can have not only today but all the days of my life are all yours. But I also want to spend more time with my kids.” “You're picking the kids over me? How dare you contemplate my offer? Hmm … I'm jealous.” “I love my kids but I love their mother more. So please why don't we invite the kids to our date so it'll be like a family date. So what do you say to my offer?” “I'll think about it.” “Please – please please please.” Malakai gave Hireath the puppy look. It was just impossible for her to resist. “Okay it's a date. A whole day specially dedicated to my husband and kids. What more can I ask for? I'm a blessed mother and the luckiest wife.” She gave him a peck on his lip. “Mummy, Daddy.” Harriet called out to his parents distracting them from their already love ignited mood. “Just when we were getting started.” Hireath complained. “You guys are up early. What's the reason?” Hireath asked, surprised to see the kids. “Here comes my prince charming. Come and give daddy a hug.” Malakai opened his arms till Harriet ran into his widely opened arms. “That's my boy. My prince.” *Make way for the stunning princess. I need my papa bear's hug.” “That's an order from the one and only true princess of the Lycan pack.” “No way. I'm not leaving my father's arm. I am the prince.” “Father … Harriet is being silly. Tell him to let me hug you.” “Harriet, give your sister a little father and daughter opportunity. Will you?” “Dad– I've barely had enough father and son bonding time with you and Harrietta is trying to cut asunder.” “Don't say that son. Your sister means as much as you mean to me. You are both one and are equally special. So what do we say to all of us having a family time all through the whole day together?” “No way … I'd love that. spending the whole day with my father and mother. The queen and king of the Lycan pack is a day well spent.” Harrietta exclaimed with joy and excitement written all over her. “Enough already. You guys just choose your dad over me. No one even cared to give me a hug. Am I not a good mom?” “Mother, don't say that. We've barely spent quality time with dad for some time now. Most especially since the visitors came in. He's been so occupied and we just missed him. That's why.” “Harrietta is right Mom. We are always with you. Now it's daddy's turn.” “So what's the plan for the day?” “Let's go have our breakfast first, then we have fun , play and laugh as much as we want all through the day. Who's in?” Hireath asked. “Sounds super fun, count me in.” “We're in Mom.” Harriet and Harrietta chorused joyfully. “Let's go…”“Thanks for the meal mom.” Harrietta gave her mom a peck on the cheek as she left the dining room.“Stop right there young lady. Where do you think you're going without giving this king his own very special kiss.”“Da–ddy. Awwwn here's a very special kiss for you. Muah.” Harrietta blew a kiss in the air.“Wait up Harrietta. Thanks mom, thanks dad. We'll be in our rooms getting ready to have the most remarkable day of our lives.”“Slow down you both. You just had your breakfast.” Harriet giggled as she found the kids amusing.“Let them be my love. Let's enjoy the few minutes they'll be in their room all to ourselves.”“We'll be down in a minute. Make sure to be done with your meal by them.” Harriet and Harrietta ran through the stairs to their chambers.“All that noise … These kids will never cease to amuse me. They always keep me so happy and I can't imagine my life without them.”Malakai reached out his hands and took hold of Hireath’s palm, caressing it until he gave it a soft kiss.
It was morning and Malakai was getting set for the meeting with Hector in regards to how they can help the Halo clan rise back to their feet and save them from further catastrophes and impending dooms.Hireath was still asleep. The morning sun ray made its way to her face and shone so brightly as though she were a goddess.Malakai for a moment lost track of what he was doing as he stared lustfully at his beloved wife and queen while she laid peacefully like an angel on the bed.“How blessed I am. Waking up to this beautiful sight every morning. As each passing day goes by, I find myself falling more intoxicatingly in love with this beautiful soul.”Malakai used his hand to remove some parts of Hireath’s hair that covered her face and kissed her on her forehead. Malakai stared at Hireath face more directly for a longer period of time.Hireath opened her eyes slowly as she caught Malakai completely lost in his loving gaze at her. From gazing into her eyes to a flashing big smile. One co
“It must have been so tough for you. I really don't know how to express how I feel right now. My words fail me. But in my honor as the Lycan King , I'll see to it that the Halo clan is well taken care of.”“We're indebted to the Lycan pack.” “I want you to assist in supervising the supplies that will be sent out. I want everything organized, mobilized and sent out with immediate effect. I see no reason for any delay. Put your mind at rest Hector. The Halo clan are in safe hands now.”“You indeed are a great king. May the moon goddess repay you and your pack for your kind gesture.”“Don't mention. I think you need to discuss this with your mother. Someone has to accompany the troop that will be sent out in a few days time. And she's in the best position to go with them, while you stay here as we proceed in our search for a solution. What do you think about it?”“It's a nice suggestion, Lycan King. I'll discuss it with her immediately when I go back to the guest chamber. Though I'd lov
Hector went up to his room still in shock and disbelief as he was trying to understand what his eyes just saw. “Why am I so bothered by this? But Hireath was accused of not being able to bear his children after five solid years of marriage but here she is married to another man with twin children just in the space of three years? This just doesn't sit right with me. Was she really guilty of taking the birth control herbs? If only there is a way for me to figure out the whole truth. Should I request an explanation from Hireath and damn the consequences?”“What am I thinking? How would I dare to request an opportunity to speak with her. Why should I just suddenly interfere into her already perfect life like I wasn't the one who ruined it in the past? But I deserve the truth, don't I? Even if I just get to hear it once from her. But how do I go about it?”Luna Emelda was already standing in the room staring at Hector, but he didn't even notice her presence as he was engulfed in deep tho
It was the next day where Hector is to submit the list and also a meeting with the seer, Hireath the queen, elders and prominent members of the Lycan pack in search of a lasting solution for the Halo clan from the moon goddess “Hope it wasn't much trouble drafting the list?” Malakai asked Hector.“It was a piece of cake thanks to the competent help we got from Koslov. It really made everything easy and stress free.”“Let me have the list, so I'll have it reviewed today and then we start picking out the supplies tomorrow. Hope that's a good idea?”“It is a great decision, Lycan King.” Hector said as he handed the list over to Malakai.“Greetings my great king.” the pack's seer said as she announced her presence.“Oh you're most welcome Layla. We are grateful for your esteemed presence to grace this meeting.”“Now that everyone is present. Let's get the meeting started.” The head elder stated.“Layla, we need to hear from the moon goddess regarding the catastrophic events with the Halo
Hector is disoriented, disarrayed and doesn't know what to do or what to say. To his consternation he was stuck in between the lines. Should he put the whole blame on Hireath, his ex wife and Luna queen? Or should he say the truth and damn the consequences. Even if that means having everyone find out how badly he treated her and that may make them change their mind in helping them because they'll obviously see whatever calamity that befell them as the consequences for the wicked treatment of the previous queen.He never imagined a day like this would come where he would be faced with a situation like this. But worse of it all is that the very queen they were asking about was right before his very eyes. What is he going to say? She now wields so much power and that alone can have his tongue off his lip if he says anything terrible about her. She can decide to tell the truth about what he and the entire Halo clan put her through and that will only put him and his clan into more danger.
The mood at the throne room becomes really argumentative and defiant. There is uproar as there is lots of shouting and noise because everyone was angry and upset about the story Hector and his mother, Luna Emelda told them.There is a heated argument between those at the throne room. Majority were against the ex Luna queen and they blamed her for being the reason and cause of all the terrible happenings with the Halo clan while few were of the opinion that they hear her own side of the story before coming to a conclusion. “The Halo clan have suffered a whole lot already. How much more will they have to suffer and the originator of the whole problem is living free somewhere. It really is unfair and it's on that note that I suggest we set up a search party that will be on the lookout for her with immediate effect.” The Gemma Lord suggested.“How are we so sure, the Luna queen is only the reason for all these calamities. What if they're other reasons?”“What other reasons could there be
Hiraeth’s pov“I swear on my life, Hector, I have no idea what she's talking about.” I screamed my pleas into the ears of my mate and husband. Alpha Hector. Praying and hoping that he'd listen to me. But they all fell on deaf ears.His eyes darkened and in an instant, I was sent flying across the room with just one push of his hand. Such was the magnitude of strength he had as an alpha of the Halo clan wolves, but I'd never thought a day would come where I would experience it first hand.“How could you, Hiraeth? How could you?!” he spat, his eyes blazing with fury.“For five years, five freaking years I tried all I could, praying and hoping for a miracle to happen, not knowing you on the other hand, was doing the exact opposite! Thwarting all my plans and prayers to the goddess!”Instantly, my knees sank to the floor in trepidation. Goddess, I'd never seen him this angry before and the thought of that scared me to my bones. I should care about the pain from the aftermath of my collis
