After carefully arranging the books back on the shelf, they went to sleep and left for the palace early the next day. By the time they got to the palace, Helena was already up and about but she didn’t step out of her room. Draco marched out to welcome them on arrival and summoned them to his chambers for their feedback. “So what is the good news that you brought?” eagerness evident in his tone Prince Klaux pouted, “Who told you we brought any good news in the first place? Draco’s hope shrank immediately, he was so confident that they would bring something tangible and useful, but his reply didn’t seem like that. “What do you mean?” his cold voice cut through the silent room. Han bowed this time around and stepped forward to hand over the letter they retrieved from the mail box. “This was all we could find but we believe it is a clue to wherever he might be. I hope you will be able to find something out about it when you read it” she softly stated. He read through the letter as
DRACO’S POV Earlier during the evening, the elder of the third tribe had visited me and I already knew why he was there. Amy must have informed him. “It has been a while, I almost thought you had moved outside the pack”, I welcomed him sarcastically. “I know, right? I wouldn’t have any reason to crawl out of my hiding hole if you had done what is expected of you” Elder Conri responded the same way. “And what can I do for you?” “Is it until the council of elders protest publicly and force you to do the needful before you take actions? How can a woman not feel the warmth of her husband? You might have taken her in to strengthen your throne, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat her right. If you don’t want to lose all the support you have garnered from my tribe, then things had better be set aright. I made sure not to be a threat to your throne, but if you provoke me, who knows? I might suddenly have the urge to sit on this mighty throne that is making you feel untouchable” He su
The next few days in the pack were crazy. News of the death was brought to the palace every day at least three times. We had been infiltrated by the rebels and they were not merciful in the tinniest bit towards our people. It was as if they had been waiting for the chance to attack and wipe us out, but our soldiers were doing a fantastic job in making sure the attack’s result was minimal. I was coming back from a meeting when I met one of the maids sobbing across the palace’s corridor as she held onto her right hand. The other maid by her side also held her to support her frame and that caught my attention as they walked down to the other side. I stopped to observe them a bit before I called their attention to figure out what exactly was happening. “Call them for me” I commanded, and my head aide didn’t waste any time before calling them over. “What is this about?” They both froze for sometimes, hesitating about whether they should open up to me, but I moved closer to ask gently a
Several months back, Helena got an invitation to treat a VIP when she was still in the human world. She knew it was a life-changing opportunity and asked for something order than money in return. “Promise me that you will always honor my request anytime I need your help” she politely stated to the king, who was desperately trying to save his only son. “Once you can cure my son, I promise to always be of help to you whenever you call on me”, he promised, and removed one of the rings on his fingers to seal the vow before giving it to her. “Just show me this ring and I will remember my vow” he added, and she proceeded to treat the sick son. The Prince was already at the brink of death, even Helena was not sure if she would be able to save him at that point, but the encouragement from Han kept her going and trying her best till he finally survived. During her stay with the King and his people at the palace, she could notice that Princess Amelia loved adornment so much. Even at the tim
Helena had set up one of the maids working for her for the job. She had recently caught her in the act of spying on her and giving reports to Amy and pretended not to notice till she was ready to deal with her. While she was making her plan, she also figured out that she would be the perfect person for the job. Using her crime against her, she was able to send her on the mission of stealing the diamond necklace from the room. “You will steal the necklace during dinner and place it in Amy’s chambers. Then, after dinner, you will go back and pretend to steal the fake one I will be placing in replacement of the stolen one. At the point of moving out, collide with a flower vase to cause an attraction and then run for your life. When the truth is out, just confess that Amy was the one that sent you to steal it and leave everything to me”, she explained. The poor maid’s mind went blank as her eyes and palms got sweaty. It was a big assignment that could either turn her world around or mak
At the order of Alpha Draco, the guards rushed to where Amy was sitting on the ground and lifted her to position her on her knees. She struggled for a bit but soon gave up since she was easily overpowered by the strong men. Helena smirked as she strode to her front so they could see eye to eye, a happy grin crawling to the corner of her mouth because of her successful plan. She wasn’t sure if she would fall into the trap in the first place, but since habits hardly die, she was able to lure her in without even getting involved directly. “You know I didn’t do it, why are you doing this to me?” Amy cried out to her as she approached where she knelt down. She shrugged. “There is no evidence that you didn’t do it” was her reply. Amy went silent for a second before screaming “Check the CCTV! It should be there.” “Unfortunately, the CCTVs have been under maintenance since yesterday so they are down. I guess you are the only one who didn’t know” she replied. Amy’s shoulders dropped. It
“Get your filthy hands off me right this instant!” Amy yelled at the maid who was stripping off her royal robe. “Stay still, I can’t get the buttons out” one of the maids remarked, struggling to keep her still. Before anyone could blink, a harsh slap landed on the maid’s right cheek and a wave of silence swept through the entire room as the maids all paused at her reaction. Chief Kinn, who was sitting at the side of the room, stood up at that instant and walked closer to where they were standing. Everyone waited for her to talk about what had just happened but she just stood there for a while, glancing from one person to the other. At the twinkle of an eye, a loud whoashing sound was heard across the room and everyone was bewildered. The maids turned their necks to see Amy holding onto her cheeks in horror and their eyes bulged at the scene. Did Amy just get slapped by Chief Kinn? “You are under a punishment for the next three months and you are at the same level as those people y
Beta Gray sent a notification to all tribes to gather in the meeting room so as to update them about the latest developments in the pack and also about the punishment of the third tribe. All the elders and other officials trooped into the palace a few minutes before the set time and they all assumed their various seats inside the large hall while waiting for both Alpha and Beta, who walked in at the last minute. “Accept our greetings, Alpha Draco”. They all stood up to greet him, bowed and took their seats at the wave of his hand. Without wasting any time, the Beta walked forward to read out the reason why the meeting was suddenly called, since it was not the time of the month when meetings are held. Opening the scroll, he read “As you are all aware, the pack has been facing several serious attacks ever since the third tribe pulled out their troops from the border even when they knew that it was a dangerous act to carry out. The pack suffered the loss of about seventy wolves in tota
