ELEANOR

“What do you say, Prince Aegon?”

He was silent, just as I expected.

What was going through his mind?

What else if not the fact that he was going to cheat on his wife? Maybe not cheating but he was just about to say ‘yes’ to me who was an enemy to his wife.

What would Sage have the poor man do?

She has taken over him so much that it was hard for him to recognize other people. Such a bitch like she was.

At this point, I was beginning to run out of patience but what would I have myself do? For all that I knew, if I was ever going to have Aegon next to me and on my side, I would have to embrace the act of having patience.

Just like I was now.

Although it was likely to not last because I had never encountered such nonsense and waste of time in all my life.

Smiling, I walked over to the end of the room where there existed a mirror and now, looked into it while waiting for him to speak. Or did he not have a thing to say?

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   FIFTY-FIVE: SUSPICIONS

    SAGEIt was another morning and maybe the next full moon would be out tonight. I didn't keep calculations of the event because it didn't excite me like it used to. Heading into the bathroom for a quick shower on my own, I walked out to the rays of sunlight hitting the window not so far from the bed. By this time, Aegon was still asleep which was very unusual. It looked like he was reserving his strength for something and I wondered at the same time what it could be—also letting myself know that the man needed as much rest as he could get and that was what he was doing. “Good morning, Aegon,” I called, trying to see if he could wake up but there was nothing like that and I gave up. Leaving the space, I led my way through the hallway, wondering where exactly I was headed when I caught up with the living room, recalling a lot of things I shouldn't recall in the first place. But what would I do? That bitch of a woman who called myself her sister. How could she be so wicked? And why

    ELEANOR I was late already!Pushing my luggage into the reception of the hotel I had in mind, I stopped at the desk of the receptionist. “Good day. I'm here to take a room. A room for two. My boyfriend is on his way.” I shot her a smile and she did the same. “Welcome to De Royal Suites, ma'am,” she sounded. “We're more than glad to have you. How do you want to go about it?” She asked and I stopped to think, wondering what to say and even the exact thing she meant. Was there a special way to go about it in the first place? Now that I thought about it, I looked around to be certain I was not in any way in the wrong place. “Well—” I let out after my thoughts. “I have no idea what I want. But I know I just want a good room. In case you don't know, it's our anniversary and I need to make something special for the love of my life. I want the kind of suite new lovers lodge in whenever they meet. I'm sure you understand what I mean, or don't you?” “Perfect,” she looked away and searched

    Sage's PovI, Princess Sage of Moonclaw pack, sever all ties with the pack,” I declared sternly, facing all three of them. It was over. I wasn't going to take anymore of this from any of them again.I took off my crown and tossed it at Eleanor. “You can keep it.”Thirty minutes agoIt happened so fast. In a blink of an eye Eleanor threw herself down the staircase. What the fuck! I watched her body tumble down the stairs in a flurry of arms and legs. "AHHHHHHHH!" She screamed her way down, hitting the ground with a loud thud.In seconds, Regan and Alistair barged into the living room, and their gaze widened when they saw her on the floor.“Eleanor!” They yelled, rushing across the room hastily. “Are you okay?” Alistair helped her up while Regan fussed over her to check if she had gotten hurt anywhere.“What happened to you?” Regan asked her and I turned to leave. I barely took two steps when her next three words made me halt in my tracks.“She pushed me,” she replied.Wait, what?I sw

    Sage's PovAlastair bursted into laughter. “You sever all ties with us?” He echoed with enough mockery in his voice to fill the room, “Is this some kind of joke, Sage?”“It's not!” I retorted, “I'd rather return to being a rogue than continue to live another day here being treated like an outsider or even worse an idiot!” Regan chuckled loudly, and I shot him a stern look, clenching my fist, “You'd rather return to being a rogue? You didn't just say that, did you?” He reiterated mockingly, “Your weak wolf wouldn't survive a day out there if you leave.”I smirked, “Is that what you think? You forget, brother. I survived years of being a rogue on my own before I was found and brought back to this family. If I could survive it then, I sure as hell know that I can do it again,” I enunciated and turned, walking away.“They will kill you once they discover Silver,” Alastair said, bringing me to a full halt, and I turned to him. He was right. They would, but still, I prefer to take that cha

    Sage's povMy heart literally dropped to the ground as my name echoed through the air. What?? Did I hear her wrong? Everyone's eyes steered in my direction, and from the look on their faces.I didn't hear her wrong.It felt like I'd been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me.My eyes locked onto Eleanor's smug face,“What if she takes my place or should I say her rightful place?” she glanced at me, and my stomach curled as the fear crept up my spine like a chill, making my skin crawl.This couldn't be happening. No. It shouldn't be happening. This was her fate not mine. I felt sick to my stomach but even more helpless.“Think about it, it would be the most sensible thing to do, seeing as she's your true daughter. That way we can still avoid the war, and I'm sure Princess Sage wouldn't mind sacrificing herself for her lovely family, after all, it's her role as Princess.”Bitch! She's turning my words against me.I couldn't summon words. I just stared blankly at her, feeling th

    Knox's PovA knock echoed through the study, and I shot my gaze to the door. “Come in.”The door creaked open and the clan's physician, Galen walked into the room. He bowed his head the second the door closed behind him, “Alpha Knox.”“Come. Take a seat,” I ushered, getting to my feet to pour us some wine. I handed him a glass, and took my seat across from him, helping myself to some wine.“So? How is my nephew?” I asked, dropping the glass on the table.“Well,” Galen dropped his glass on the table as well, “Prince Aegon's symptoms are becoming more and more severe. I've given him some herbs to control the symptoms, and make the pain subside but…” he trailed off, “There's only so much pain it can ease. You know that well.”I nodded, “I know, and that's precisely why he needs this marriage alliance.”“So it's true. You plan to have him wed to the princess of Moonclaw pack.”“Indeed, I do,” I got to my feet, and walked to the window, looking out, “It is the only solution. It will give h

    KNOX My heart stopped as my gaze fell on her, descending the stairs and everything around me seemed to disappear until all I could see was her—all I could breathe. She didn't even look at me. I didn't think she wanted to. If anything I thought she looked bitter. Bitter and yet beautiful. The way my Wolf reacted to the presence of an ordinary, small woman, was uncalled for. I could hardly compose myself as I stood there, staring at her. I shut and opened my eyes. What was happening? “Mate—” from the inner part of me, the manly voice of my wolf muttered. I had never heard it sound this way. It was supposed to be a stubborn creature, domineering the other wolves whenever there was combat. Not this way. It sounded weak—like it had been conquered by something. Someone. Someone in the room. Someone who just walked into the room. Mate? Mate?! Did I hear mate? How was this even possible? Looking away, I looked around the room. The Alpha, his wife

    SAGEHow could they do a thing like that to me?!Who on the face of the earth—will consciously reject their child like they all of a sudden no longer matter?As I paced the room I was brought into the moment we reached the pack, these and many more thoughts were running around in my head. Wrapping my hand around an answer was also an impossible thing to do, and for once, it dawned on me that the people I called ‘family’ hated me so much. How dare they?!Rage was an understatement of how I felt at this very moment. And for all that I knew, there was only one thing stopping me from running away from this pack and heading back to the Moonclaw Pack to carry out a well-deserved revenge on them. Especially Eleanor. That bitch. I would rip her heart out of her chest if I could. Why wouldn't I? She had finally become a thorn in my flesh and only one thing stopped me from dealing with her. It was the unavailability of my wolf. Something had happened to Silver. Something I had yet to dec

    ELEANOR My eyes opened on the bed in the space of my chamber. It wasn't in the morning, but evening. I had just woken up from a nap and this was my time to have something. Anything at all as long as it filled my stomach. Sitting up on the bed, I looked around the room. There was something I told myself I would do the very moment I came awake, and I can't recall. Why was that? Standing up on my feet as I jumped off the bed, I reminded myself that there was no reason at all to rush. Not now or ever. Nothing left my head without coming back, and now that I needed to eat, it was better I did that. Ever since I left The Darkfangs Pack, I have never had so much peace. A soothsayer didn't need to let me know about the predicament my sister was going through before it would come to my notice. On several occasions, I had seen it in my dream—the pain in her eyes. Her hate for me and a wish that all of these would come to an end. Which brings me to my time to strike. Reaching the bathr

    SAGETonight, the full moon will come out. Once again, I looked forward to giving my blood to the man I was married to. The last time I checked, it was important I did that, even though I didn't have the slightest idea why this was part of their traditions. It was in the evening, and everyone was getting ready to be gathered in the compound for the event. No, the moment. In my chamber, I looked at myself in the mirror. Aella, who should be getting me dressed, left the chamber a while ago to get me a bottle of water. The last time I checked, more than enough energy was needed for this cause and I could not wait for this moment to come and go so that I could go back to the life I used to have—before the full moon. And get ready for the next full moon. Did my life have to be a mess? “My lady,” the door opened again. “Aella,” I looked at her. “Where is my husband?” “I don't know but he has to be with the Alpha,” she walked closer and dropped the bottle on the table. “Would you

    SAGE**One Month LaterI didn't know what to do anymore. Not when there were no signs of pregnancy after another month since the last test result. Obviously, Aegon had become frustrated and at this point and I didn't have the slightest idea what to say to him. Because how could I say something when I didn't know what exactly the issue was? It was another morning and I wished that I did not wake. Aegon, my handsome husband, was lying next to me on the bed. He was facing the other side of the bed which was what I wanted. But how do I stand up and leave for the bathroom, or maybe out of the chamber? Aella, these days didn't do much as usual. I had gotten to the point where I bathed myself and walked out of the room, heading to the kitchen so that I could take a tray of meals for myself. Sometimes, Aegon also. Sitting up on the bed, I realized that Aegon wasn't next to me there. So who did I see a while ago? Perhaps, it was because of how sleepy I was and that was why I could not

    SAGE **One Month Later Once again, I was out of my room and walking through the hallway with many thoughts running around in my head. The last time, I had given my blood sample to Doctor Logan who ran a pregnancy test on me—only to be told that I wasn't with child. How was that even possible? And again, I had given my blood sample to him just last week—just so we could try again. In my heart, I wished for a positive result. Never in my life have I been so scared. The fear that ran through my veins on this day could not be compared to the one I used to have while living in The Moonclaw Pack. I was beginning to feel unsafe. Anxious and worried about what this result could be. “My lady!” From behind, someone called. It was a more familiar voice that caused me to turn around as I managed a smile on my countenance. “Yes, Aella.” “My lady—” the younger woman walked closer. “Are you leaving the pack for a walk? Why did you not come to call me so that I could at least join you?” S

    KNOX **One Month Later It was a month after my nephew and his wife had intercourse, and there were no signs of pregnancy. Or was there? Worry clouded my face on a morning like this and the very moment I opened my eyes. Maybe it was because of the nightmare I had just woken up from—when my nephew was in trouble and in need of help. The child was our savior. And the last time I checked, Aegon wasn't any better. Maybe he was, but I needed to hear the news and be certain that there was a way out of this. Snapping my fingers, I relaxed my back on the bed once more. “Good morning, Brian,” I greeted the guard who walked in. “How about you call the Prince for me? I would love to have a word or two with him.” I sat up now, heaving a sigh. “Can you be fast about it?” “Good morning, my lord,” Brian bowed. “Give me a moment to call the Prince. Is there someone else you would love for me to call on your behalf?” I thought about it, shaking my head almost immediately. Th

    SAGEThe most awaited day arrived. Staring down at what went on in the compound from the window, I gazed at the car that would take my so-called sister back to The Moonclaw Pack. A smile came on my countenance and I heaved a sigh. There was happiness in me, mixed with curiosity, anxiety, and even fear. But why should I worry? In the meantime, the Prince was mine and nothing would take him away from me. Not even a woman born by a housecleaner who ended up being an adoptive princess. “Yes—” I didn't know when the word ran out of my mouth, but it did, anyway. A guard opened the door for her and she hopped in, while another hopped in the driver's seat and another hopped in the backseat where Eleanor was. And just about that time, the car moved. There was a sigh of relief—the kind I had seldom heaved, ran out of my mouth. I fell on the bed and drifted to sleep almost immediately, certain that a smile was on my face while I was at it. Later in the evening, I woke up with a slight h
