Vera

I had a mission; to steal some of my father's letters from Alpha Joash's cabinet. I couldn't sleep all night.

As soon as it was dawn, I rose to my feet and began to prepare for the day. Thankfully, I will be the first in the office so it was a done deal.

As usual, I greeted the guard stationed outside the office and made my way in swiftly. Without much ado, I went straight to Alpha Joash's cabinet. The first problem was how to unlock the cabinet. I didn't notice the code when he opened it the previous day. But I wasn't deterred.

I marched towards the cabinet with determination. Without knowing what to do, I pushed the door lightly and to my surprise, it flung open.

I was taken aback but I didn't back off. My father's chest was sitting in a corner of the upper part of the cabinet. The crack on it was still visible. I dragged it forward and lifted the cover. It was also unlocked. The letters were neatly arranged inside the chest.

Carefully, I pulled out the chest and flicked out a

    VeraI thought I had seen it all. What the heck is he planning to do with me again? At this rate, I might just drop dead. I stopped in my tracks and turned around with trepidation. Hands folded behind, head buried in pain. I took baby steps towards him.I stood in front of him but he didn't give me any attention nor did he say anything. I remained on my feet, hurting badly. My lips began to swell and blood drained slowly from my cuts, staining the floor.Is this another way he wanted to punish me? I wish I could look straight into his eyes and tell him how I feel.I was feeling weak but I remained on my feet waiting for the next order. I was feeling it, I knew that I could slum at any time, but I wanted to see how far I could go. I will see this to the end.Suddenly, the door opened behind me and a familiar voice boomed into my ears."Your Highness. Dr Fred Dante reporting in your presence," the intruder said and I froze. I had felt his scent before he spoke up.Fred walked past me a

    VeraThe sun had peaked when I walked out of the office. I grunted and blinked hard as its rays penetrated my eyes and my bandaged lips. My strength was failing and I dangled here and there. I hadn't taken many steps before I tripped. I began to crash down but the guard outside the office held me up. "Are you alright?" He asked as he helped me to a seat. I couldn't answer him as my pain and dizziness got a larger part of me. I became drowsy and it felt like I was in a trance."What the heck are you still doing here!? I told you to get out of here! I don't want to see you!" Alpha Joash's voice boomed into my ears and I sprang to my feet."Yes, No sir…" I slurred."Are you alright? Should I call a maid?" The guard's concerned voice filled my ears and I opened my eyes. I held him and looked around, Alpha Joash was not in sight. I just had an illusion.I sighed in relief and forced myself to concentrate. With eyes wide open, and glittering legs, I ran far away from the office.I was sup

    Vera"I am sorry… I can't do…" I slurred but the man grabbed my arm and with an enormous force, he flung me away. I landed a few distance from him and within a twinkle of an eye he was standing before me again."You are sorry because you can't do it? Don't you get it? You don't have a choice here!" The man yelled. He dragged me up again and glared ferociously into my eyes. I knew there was no second chance for me.A rattling noise filled the air. Within a twinkle of an eye, it graduated from a low noise to a loud noise. The man began to shift. I was about to be gored by an angry wolf. I felt an adrenaline rush in my blood, it drowned my weakness for a moment and my energy spiked like liquid hot lava.Either in my human form or wolf form, I didn't stand a chance against him. So I didn't care to shift. I just stood there with his minions closing in on me. Their swords were set before them and I wondered why they were doing this. Just one of them could snap my neck and it would be over.

    VeraAs the horse tore through the wild, pain rocked my body and I groaned relentlessly. Despite the pain, I still felt safe to be away from my killers. Although I wasn't totally safe! I was whisked away by strangers! They might be another set of abusers who wanted to take advantage of me. As far as I was concerned, I had become a pawn in a conspiracy that was way beyond me.With my adrenaline gone, I felt feeble like a reed. Fatigue like a fitting cloak descended on me and I could hardly keep my eyes open. Gradually, my vision became dim and I lost control. We were still in the wild when I lost consciousness. When I came around, I was lying on the floor in a familiar basement. It was the secret basement where I used to have my training with Killan and Fred.This is Killan's property. How did I get here? My saviours brought me here? If that was the case, Killan and Fred weren't my saviour. If they were, they wouldn't rescue me and dump me here.As I struggled to rise to my feet, I he

    Vera"Just take it cool with yourself. It's a miracle that you are standing on your feet already," Killan warned as I flung my swords without direction. It's been a few days since I had come around and I was going crazy because I had lost my moves. Killan and Fred complained that I was pushing myself too hard but I just couldn't take it. The wounds I had on my arms were almost healed up but they made it difficult to wield a sword and they wanted me to just sit, lazing around."They won't just get better, I have to train with them," I fired back as usual and I was surprised that Killan responded. He had never responded before."You are over-exerting them. Do you think that is rehabilitation? Nah! You could cause more harm than good.""Really? You should have told me earlier," I mouthed and dropped the swords fearfully. Killan chuckled and I charged at him."If you are lying to me, I will kill you," I yelled, aiming to punch him."You are still exerting your arm, stubborn chick," he ca

    JoashJenny was not my mate but were childhood buddies together with Pete. She had been a good companion throughout the years. She loved me and stood by me through thick and thin. She wasn't someone I wanted to hurt.I didn't feel anything special towards her but I was devoted to her and compelled to love her. She was gentle, kind and most importantly she trusted me. Since I didn't believe in chosen mate, I decided to go for her. She couldn't refuse my offer as she was already smitten by me.Over the past few weeks, I had come to agree that there was a strong difference between love and devotion. Although I wouldn't admit it, I seemed to have fallen in love with Vera Clams. Not that I wanted to pursue the feeling but it was there. Or how can I explain the searing feeling I began to have after making Vera leave?It all began two days after Vera was rescued. Instead of Derrick, one of my guards came with the report. It was an elaborate report about Vera's abduction.I got to know that s

    VeraTraining was a great diversion for me and not only a great diversion, it was also needed in my course. I had fully recovered and I had lost count of the days. After my recovery, I trained so hard and Killan couldn't stop me.He acted like a big brother. No, like a babysitter and I didn't like it. But he was also my instructor and I had no choice. As I advanced in training, we began to spar and had duels. Of course, he always won, but Fred always got beaten up. Beating up Fred seemed to be a great achievement for me but I knew it was just the beginning. Fred was a small fry.I achieved one thing that had become my dream on the day that I won against Killan. At first, I thought it was because he went soft on me, but the shock in his eyes proved my victory.I rose up from the dust and he pulled me into his embrace. "You have finally emerged," he muttered, kissing me on the forehead."Perhaps, I could fulfil your fantasy and succeed where Fred failed… you are so alluring…" he cupped

    VeraLeaving Fred and Killan was harder than I had thought. I had built a life around them and with their help, I was able to achieve the first part of my dream. Without power, I can't achieve anything.We shared a parting hug and they finally let me go. "Common! Why are you all gloomy? It's not a funeral and It's not like I am going to die or something," I put up a bold front and walked away from them in tears. I was going back to being Alpha Joash's maid. It had never been easy and I knew it would never be. Danger lurks ahead. When I got back to my room and opened the door, I expected to see it dusty and dirty. I had deserted it for about a year, but surprisingly, it was clean. The maids must have been sent to clean it up.What the heck is Alpha Joash up to? All that had transpired between us flashed through my head and I wondered what facing him again after a long time would look like. I still had my fears, but I was also enthusiastic! Partly because I wanted to see what it would

    SilasMy father stood tall in his human form and snatched up his sword again. He began to point it at me. But I didn't fidget. I lowered my head in surrender. Since he couldn't do it at his first attempt, I knew he wouldn't do it now."Do not underestimate me son," he laughed like a maniac.Wait. What if he also has supernatural abilities? What if he can hear my thoughts?… No way."Prove to me that you have nothing to do with Joash!" Father yelled and brought his sword to my throat.He snarled at me and with the look in his eyes, I knew he meant business. If I messed up, he would cut me into two.Why is he overly angry? Heat flowed from my head to my toes. I felt cold inside but I stood tall and remained unshakened"Prove to me son!" He yelled.I needed to do something. I needed to do something to clear whatever doubt that was in my father's head."White Wolf Army!" I called my army."Responding! Commander!" They echoed back."Go into the woods.

    Silas I rode towards my father, wondering what was going on in his head. "What do you think? We blew up the wrong place in our first attempt. What do you think about this time?" Father asked."This time?" I asked, looking at his soldiers as they galloped towards Joash's location."Yes, the latest information about Joash's location. Do you think we can get him for good?""Oh!" I thought carefully before speaking up. "Yes! Even if we miss him, he can't continue running, he would eventually be caught. But since he was already aware that we are coming after him, it is safe to assume that he is well prepared for us. We can't underestimate him," I said and a tight smile played on my father's lips."Why are you always guarded around me? It makes you suspicious," Father said and I swallowed the lump in my throat."Wait for me, let us conquer Joash, then the world will be under our feet. And it is now, our victory over him." He said and rode briskly into the wild.Slowly, I rode from behind

    Joash"Let's talk. You should speak up! You son of a gun! Good move to have left your hideout. We razed it down only to discover that you are not there. Good move. Anywhere you are, do not stay static, be on the move, we are coming after you." Silas' voice boomed into my head and I grimaced."We have been made. We should be alert," I mind linked Derrick, telling him about the new development. I also informed the guard who was with me. We became more alert and held our weapons tightly.We had just walked some distance when I felt a connection inside of me. It was Vera. My wolf recognized her immediately and leapt for joy. I was engaged too but I didn't speak to her, for me, it wasn't the right time."It's Vera. Let's speak with her," Jack said into my mind. But I didn't need such a diversion now, I had to be more alert now if I wanted to return to her alive. "I can't respond now," I said to Jack and matched onwards. Jack became grumpy. He whimpered and laid down quietly without utteri

    JoashSilas tried to mind-link me several times but I shut him out of my mind. I didn't want to speak with him. He put my mate in the lion's mouth and wanted me to speak with him, no way!My men and I were done and it was time to leave. The one who was costumed to look like me sat confidently on the horse like he was winning an award. He was wearing my robe and his face was well covered. His frame on the horse looked just like mine. The resemblance forced a bitter smile on my lips."What is your name?" I asked him as I walked towards the horse. "Yobe Yasmine," the man responded tightly."Yobe…" I called but became speechless. I could feel my heart in my mouth… my heart was pounding fast. I had conquered lands and packs but I wasn't immune to this. It was the first for me. No one has ever willfully died in my place."I can't protect you… but from this day on, your people have become my people," I said in a whisper. He heard and nodded. He drew his right fists to his chest. I did the s

    VeraThe walk was as long as I had expected. It was just like the way it was when I was brought down there.I was wary of Blake. I was not just following him blindly, I was alert. But after following him for a while, I simmered down."He won't try any trick now. He knows that you will overpower him easily." "Viola!" I yelled. It's been a long time since my wolf spoke up. She whimpered wearily inside of me and went quiet again. The recent turn of events must have been overwhelming for her.Suddenly, Blake came to a halt. I also halted and clenched my fists as I waited for him. He turned around slowly and looked at me, his eyes were filled with hatred and disdain."We should go our separate ways from here. Follow the next turn on your left, it will lead you to a familiar path… We will meet again," he said with a chilling voice.I was about to speak up when two men jumped out of nowhere. I froze and thought they were aiming for me but I wasn't their target. They fell in front of Blake

    Vera I was very close, so close to the shrubs- a precise long jump would take me out of the grass less terrain. But I was already out of breath. My heart was beating fast and my strength was no more.I couldn't dare to look back anymore, the sound was so close. I knew if I continued to linger in the open, I would be caught.With the last ounce of strength in me, I lifted myself up and pushed myself forward. It was my last try but I didn't make it. Instead of stumbling into the grass, I landed just by the side.Without looking back, I felt the arrival of the horde. They were still at a distance but I was sure that they would be able to see me since that had emerged. The hair on the back of my head stood up and I choked up. Fear gripped my heart and I couldn't look behind me. I swayed to the right and to the left as I tried to maintain my balance and surge forward. I just needed a few steps to get out of the way but my legs suddenly felt heavy. They were so heavy and I couldn't lift t

    Vera Blake rose to his feet and swayed here and there. I couldn't tell if he saw me or not but as he rose up, he began to limp in my direction. This was my chance, he was broken and I could kill him now. If I killed him, I would be helping my mate who had vowed to kill him and at the same time, I would be disrupting whatever Prince Silas had in mind for keeping him alive. But he was once my mate… Even if I had rejected him and our connection had been severed, I still couldn't kill him. No, I can't do it.Seeing my timidity, I jumped ahead and went my way. One thing was sure, I must not be caught by him.The sound of the on coming armies was getting closer. I lifted my head and took a long look into the wild. My heart skipped a beat as my wolf eyes caught some sparks of dust from a distance. I felt light headed as I looked in front of me. The armies were closing up on me, and not only that, I seemed to be running in their direction. Quickly, I changed direction, my destination was th

    VeraBlood trickled down my wrist as the guard dragged me on. This can't be happening. Am I really escaping from here? I must be dreaming.The guard stopped in front of the door, pushed the door open and threw me out like I was an unwanted piece of garbage.I didn't resist him as my strength was non-existent compared to his. He flung me out and I landed on the ground with a great fall. With my eyes shut, I remained sprawled on the floor and groaned in pain. It felt like all the bones in my body were broken. Heavy breath escaped my lips and I shuddered and continued to breathe until my breath became stable. Slowly, I shook the dirt from my body and began to rise up. Cold and thick darkness had descended into the night and I was in the middle of nowhere.I staggered off the ground with my eyes seeing stars. When my vision cleared out, I turned around in circles as I looked here and there. I didn't know where I was and nothing looked familiar. The only familiarity was the disguised ent

    JoashThere on my seat, I watched Derrick and others return. I could tell that the hunting went well as their hands were not empty. Each one of them had games in their hands and hanging over their shoulders.At the same time, those who went to get water returned. They had some crooked jars with them and I could tell that they were filled with water."Yay!!!" The men making fire shouted as they sighted them. They all teamed up and got ready to debowel the meat.As I watched them jubilate, my heart sank. In my head, I could hear the hooves of my father's army lurching towards us. I should send them away, I can't beat my father with the number of men with me. If I was the only one, I could play hide and seek with my father just like I did in my early days. I should send them away. Vera… she came to my mind and I gritted. The fact that she was in the palace made me giddy. That bastard! Silas! What the heck is he up to?
