Chapter Four
The Tell-Tale Spirit. My lunch and dinner were sent to my room, I didn’t have a reason to step my foot outside. I knew something was off. I decided to sneak out and run away, packing my things would mean I want them to know that I am running away, and that isn’t the best advice, or is it?”It would be rather obvious that I decided to disappear, writing a letter won’t be nice either. I was hoping that soon if I heard their voices that I would at least change my mind and stay with my parents but the house was quiet, it was said that there was still some bad blood in between and I would guess that the entire staff is walking on shells.It became awfully quiet, an hour to midnight, the moon shined so bright and it had a soft breeze, I closed my windows and I took some of my pillows and clothes and stuffed the bed to make it seem like I was still there, it is a trick that I had learnt in camp, although when it was to test how good the stuffing was, I didn’t do too well, I was on the average but it was still alright. I did it over and over till I got it. I tiptoed to the kitchen, to check if there were some foods that I could eat or take along with me; running away on an empty stomach isn’t always a good idea.I found some brownies in the fridge and some burgers too.I packed some brownies and burgers, and I filled my water bottle too. I walked up to the garden, but then Beta Elvis was doing rounds checking around the house and everywhere else.I had to wait for him, I had my backpack with me, my water bottle and my pocket knife, I had my hair tied up in a ponytail, I wore black shorts and a purple long sleeve top, I took a blanket and my sword too. I didn’t write a letter to inform anyone or anything. Beta Elvis did his rounds and he left the gate area.“This is my opportunity,” I said to myself as I ran fast towards the gate and I got outside.I checked my watch, it was around three am, I didn’t know that I had spent hours thinking, arranging and preparing myself for the trip I was about to start, I was thinking of going far away and to start working maybe as a maid or as a trader, It would bring peace and harmony to the house and soon, they might have a son, I decided to go far away where no one can recognize me neither can the news of them reach me, I felt bad leaving my mother but my absence would bring her peace and happiness. I started the journey, I walked for two hours, and I wasn’t scared as I had my sword, my backpack and myself.I got to the river. I was thinking of sleeping there but then I started hearing voices and it seemed like the cold night river. I have heard about that river and how it can be. It is a place where spirits roam but it is famous for the Tell Tale spirit. The Tell-Tale spirit is a spirit that appears to tell you your future and it is always bad, it rarely comes out though, it has been disregarded as one of those old stories.I turned around to get away from the river and then it became extremely foggy all of a sudden and cold too, fear gripped me immediately and I knew I was in for it. “Hey princess, daughter of Luna Sylvia and Alpha Kelvin, the child who should have been a male and the next great Alpha but then you, you came as a girl, and no one loves you, you decided to run away and try to live alone, but then you should know destiny will prevail, why run?” I saw a lady in white, her skin is as white as snow, with long hair, she sat on a chair and I was inches away from her, she looked at me with pain in her eyes as she brushed my hair countless times, you know I can grant you most desired wish and that is to be a boy, I can make you a boy and your father wouldn’t be so mad at you anymore, what do you say?” The spirit asked me and I knew it wasn’t an option, I just need to leave, if anything she confirmed the theory and she has more in her sleeves, was this the reason she gained popularity, she looks for sad people and wants to give them their greatest wish and uses it as a way to gain popularity and be more powerful, I most definitely shouldn’t fall for her tricks, she is using my greatest desire against me. I knew I had to leave but it was foggy everywhere and I couldn't see anything.I decided to keep mute and not reply. Perhaps, she would believe I could not hear her”“What is this? Can’t you hear me?” She asked me but I kept still, I remember my training, being still and unbothered.“What a waste or are you not the daughter of the Alpha?” She asked but I still kept mute.“Till next time, I know I am never wrong,” She said and she left, the fog cleared up and I walked away from the river and it disappeared, a wall of flowers built up so much, it made me wonder why it came to me if it was an illusion or some weird trick, I mean I am worthy to have seen the Tell Tale spirit, maybe the spirit moves with the river or it finds whosoever it please, but why was I able to walk through and afterward a wall of flowers built up, “I should ask mum,” I said out loud in excitement because I had always loved it whenever my mother tells me stories and then it suddenly dawned on me that I left home and I didn’t plan on going back soon.I shook at the thought of going back home.I kept walking and drinking water, I found a spot in the woods, I was getting sleepy, I found a place that had flowers and grasses it was dawn, I was calm just by looking at it, I didn’t know when I started closing my eyes, I took my bag out and I slept [Alpha Kelvin and Luna Sophie] Author point of viewThe time is fifteen minutes past seven; the family wakes up around this timeThe Alpha and Luna had a rough day that led to arguments; they both went to bed hungry, Beta Elvis aware that neither the Alpha nor Luna had anything the night before. He had told the staff to prepare the breakfast very early and serve it to Luna and Alpha. He has a strong belief that in any situation and every situation one should make time to eat.“Good morning my queen” Alpha Kelvin greeted his wife with a soft kiss on her cheeks, he knew he needed to make her happy and forget about what he had said and how he reacted, he loves his daughter but he had always wanted a son, he just can’t change in a day or lesser. He knew what his wife wanted from him and he wanted that too, he couldn’t bear them having constant arguments, he was determined to make things work out.“Good morning, did you sleep well?” Sylvia asked the alpha.“No, I barely slept, I was up all night thinking of ways to settle our fight and make things work out, I realized my mistakes and I want to make corrections, I want to make us work,” The Alpha explained.His wife, the Luna was shocked at his revelation as could admit he was wrong, excited as she was, she hugged him and they settled the fight from yesterday.“Let’s go for breakfast,” The alpha told his wife.“Isn’t it a little too early? I mean they might still be sleeping, even Reign, she will be asleep, and you know her practice is by nine am and this is just seven, we shouldn’t stress them. "Have you forgotten? Elvis has a habit of preparing breakfast early for us whenever we have an argument, you should know that by now” The alpha reminded his wife as it seemed like she had forgotten. “You are right but I think we should let Reign come out on her own you know, I will talk to her before she goes for practice and you should take it easy on the poor girl, she is your daughter after all,” Luna said to her Alpha "Okay, I will agree to that but let’s go for breakfast, shall we?” Kelvin said to his wife as she held her hands, they both sat up on the bed, she rested on him and played with his hair while he was holding her hands. “Okay, let’s go” They both left for the dining room to have breakfast.Elvis was in the dining room with them, he watched them settle and laughed along, he had been with them for so long and he loved how sweet they were to each other.“You know Sylvia, I would want to eat your famous rice chorizo and shrimps, it has been a while since I had it” Alpha Kelvin said while eating breakfast.“Famous? What do you mean by famous, it is only the family that knows about my chorizo and shrimps, you are just playing with me” Luna Sylvia blushed."Oh, you should know, he actually isn't,” Beta Kelvin replied with a smile on his face.Luna suddenly had an uneasy feeling and she wanted to see her daughter.“Is everything okay?” The alpha asked Luna as he saw her countenance; she is very easy to read, too easy, at least for the Alpha she is.“Sylvia, is anything wrong? Did I say something that I shouldn’t have?” The alpha asked Luna, he was getting worried and he needed her to be fine, always.“Please call Reign, I need to see her and talk to her, I want to see my daughter now.” Luna said and her eyes lit up, Elvis saw her eyes and so did the Alpha, The alpha held her hands immediately while Elvis ran to Reign’s room. “Our daughter is fine you know? She is fine” The alpha said calming his wife. “Then why am I so uneasy? Why are my legs shaking?” Luna Sylvia asked as her voice was losing volume.“She is fine, should we head inside so you can have some rest, you are burning up and your eyes are really red right now, I am afraid if I don’t calm you down, your wolf will appear and it might be hard” The Alpha used his powers to calm his wife down and her body temperature came back to normal and so did her eye color. He had successfully calmed his wife down.They went back to their room.Beta Elvis was taking a rather long time to call and bring Reign.“Let’s do breathing exercises together, shall we?” Alpha Kelvin asked as he had a feeling something was off too.They did some breathing exercises and they were getting somewhere until Beta Elvis barged in and yelled.“Reign is missing, we searched everywhere, she isn’t in her room or the study, neither is she at the stable nor at her at friend's place, her water bottle is missing so is her bag, I think she left home, and It might be because of the fight yesterday” Panting like he ran a mile, which he might have considering that he took a long time to get back.Luna's eyes suddenly shut and she lost consciousness when she heard her daughter was missing.The Search for Reign.Reign's point of view.I was in the midst of the flowers and the grass. It was really comfortable and quiet. I looked around and it looked like a hidden garden. I spotted an orange tree and a very tall apple tree. I felt relieved, I mean spending a week here and eating fruits wouldn’t be so bad.I played and twirled in the garden, for a while I started feeling hungry, I opened my bag and I brought out my snacks to eat but it was barely enough, I knew I wanted to eat the apple, it is so red, plump but there was one problem, the tree is so huge and tall, climbing it would mean either an injured leg, a broken rib or a twisted ankle, and neither any of those options would work, and I wouldn’t want a broken body part.I sighed as I needed to think of other ways to get that apple, but how can I?” I pondered for a while. I tried climbing the tree. Maybe it was just because I was far away from the tree but then when I got to the tree it became way taller and I knew it real
The search for Reign 2: Reign comes back home[Alpha Kelvin and Luna Sophie] Author point of view“Sophie? Please, you need to eat, this is already past nine, it is late, you have searched for her and you are drained, you will fall sick, you have barely said any word, please Sophie.” The Alpha said to his wife that is weak, Reign had been gone for a whole day and her mother hasn’t been the same, she is so pissed at her husband, she believes he is the reason why she ran away, the Alpha has been looking for her but she hasn’t seen his care and pain that she is missing.“We haven’t seen her sir, we will go to the other clan tomorrow and search” Beta Elvis said as he walked into the room where Luna Sophie was, she was right in front of her mirror.“I will go to bed now, keep searching for her” The Luna said in a quiet voice as she went to the bed and covered herself with the duvet.The Alpha signaled Beta Elvis, it meant “we need to talk outside”The Beta understood and went out.“Sh
Finding out about each other.“Kelvin, I heard your daughter ran away from home because she was is scared of facing my son, afraid of losing too, I mean how could you lose your own daughter but it’s given, you are very in competent and you have been that way since we were kids and now, why would you pass down your incompetence to your unwanted daughter and more so, if I was her I would run away from you, any way my son will be at the games this year, he will participate with your lazy and scared daughter, I will tell you this, I assure you, she will be back after the whole competition. Alpha Kelvin received a letter from Alpha Damien, the last time this happened was when Reign was born, He made sure it clear in his letter that Reign, being a girl would never match up to his son and never will, and Alpha Kelvin would make his daughter practiced and practiced hard just to prove to Damien.His mood suddenly changed as he looked over to his wife and sick daughter, he took the letter and he
Even though his wife was against it, he knew his reputation would be at stake. He had to think of a way of getting his daughter in. Of course, she was ill, she had to somehow go.Alpha Kelvin walked outside, alongside his aide, Elvis.“How is Reign? You went up to check her the other time, didn’t you?” Alpha Kelvin questioned as placed his hand behind him, a mischievous and mysterious smile etched on his face.“Yes, she is, your Highness” Elvis smiled as he followed the Alpha closely. “She is very well. She is getting better. I think you should see her” Elvis added.“I think not so” He chuckled.“I think you should, your Highness. I know what your thoughts are. I know what you think. You believe she would be upset on seeing you but she is not like that. She is not that type of woman. She is not upset with you. You are her father, after all” He reassured him.“She is better, you say?” “Yes, your highness”“Very good. Get her prepared. She will represent our clan. She would represent
“She is awake” Beta Elvis called gently.“My angel…”Reign could hear silent sobs as she rushed in to meet her. Slowly, Reign began to open her eyes. What was going on? Had she collapsed again?“Reign, can you hear me?” The Luna questioned again as Reign was quiet. The Luna’s eyes widened in fear as she did not understand why her daughter was staring at her.Just then, the physician walked in.“What is the matter with my daughter?”“I am very sorry but Reign….” He sighed.“What is the matter with my daughter? What is wrong with her?” The Luna questioned, seeing the hint of worry on the Physician’s face.“Well, she was overstressed. Falling over had a disastrous effect on her. Her ears had been affected by the accident. For reasons unknown, her healing ability seems to be slow this time”“Are you saying she will not be able to hear again? Her ears are permanently damaged?” The Alpha questioned as he walked right in.“Not at all. I did not say that” The Royal Physician tried to explain.
“What can you make of a relationship between water and fire!” An old man lamented. His hair had completely turned white as it stretched to his mid back, matching his white regalia.“I do not understand, grandfather. What do you mean?” The perplexed twelve year old boy questioned as he wondered what his grandfather was saying. He questioned his grandfather who sat at a distance from him, beaming with a calm smile, his breath almost audible. The old man was coated in a white regalia that hid every part if his body, save for his palms. The wrinkles on his face took the light from his eyes and in defeat, his eyes closed and opened like the gentle clapping and flapping of a butterfly’s wing.“One consumes the other. She is your father’s nemesis. The one to end this feud against your father’s wish. The young lady you would never be able to control. Her beginning would be your father's end. To show your father love, you have to let her go. She will be his end and his destruction” The old ma
Phil jumped off his father’s back in excitement. This time, he would be able to see the full glory of the pack. Ever since he was a child, he had always wanted to see how the pack was. Although he had always gone with his father since he was a child, he had always been in a palanquin hence restricting his full view of everywhere. The palanquin wasn’t so transparent and each time it was opened, only hi mither was allowed to go out.He was only with them because they could not leave him with the maids. He was super excited.Immediately, the guards and servants and even some maids came quickly. They had to follow them wherever they went.“Good morning, my Alpha. Good morning, my Luna. Good morning, young Master” They all greeted excitedly. The Alpha and the Luna greeted them as well, accepting their greetings as Phil only smiled.“We leave now” The Alpha ordered and they all bowed in agreement. The Lina got into the palanquin while the Alpha mounted the horse. The guards also jumped on
Reign could not help but wonder what she had done to deserve so much hate from her father. Regardless, she was going to be the strong woman she had always wanted to be.***“Luna”In the Redwolf garden stood a young lady, pulling an arrow as she had her eyes on one of the trees there. Everyone stayed to watch her to see if she could really hit her target. She was determined to reach her target as she had a smile on her face. Regardless, she was going to win.“Luna…” One of the guards called. She smiled as she released the arrow from the bow. Just as she had expected, everyone began to clap for her. A smil formed on her face in satisfaction. She turned around to see who it was and why he had come for her.“You have a guest” Her Beta, Clement announced with a bow. She raised her eyes in surprise as she was not expecting any guest at that moment.“Who is he?” Clement asked with a bit of uncertainty. He was not sure who it was or what the person wanted but one thing was sure. He wanted hi
