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

ELEANOR I was relaxed on the bed when a hand touched me. Instead of slightly, the hand on my back hit me aggressively and I did not bulge—not for a moment. My thoughts centered around the fact that I was dreaming and it wasn't real—the more reason I relaxed my back on the bed and even, faced the other side. Again, this hand hit me. Left with no other choice, I sat up. Jumped up, rather. What was that? So, it wasn't a dream? I looked around me while one of my hands rubbed on my face. “Good—”And just about that time, I recalled what I had come here to do. “Good morning, Prince Aegon,” smiling, I let out as I got off the bed while dragging the duvet with me. “Did you have a good night's rest?” As I reminisced on what happened a night ago, the smile on my face did not disappear and in moments, I caught up with the large couch, falling on it the next moment. “Keep your greetings to yourself,” his voice was shaky. “What have you done, Eleanor?” Raising the sheets to look at himse

KNOXJust this morning, I got the news of war myself and the rest of my men would need to go on before coming back to live our lives, and ever since then, I had done nothing but lay in my bed with my eyes that looked up at the ceiling. There was nothing new in going to war and I looked forward to what this one would bring. More meat, more money, or gold? At the thought of it, a smile appeared on my countenance but even at that—I was more worried about something I could not bring my hands to lay on. The man who had delivered the news of the war to me was one who watched over the door ever then and now. Brian. Of all the guards in the Pack, he was the best. The others did a good job but not as Brian who would stay awake for a whole day to watch over me—unlike the others. I sat up when I thought about something, changing my mind the next moment and leading my way to the bathroom where a bath would be taken. Last I checked, I needed more strength in advance for this war. This did no

SAGEJust as it was said, the men were going to war. I stood by the window this morning, watching men of the pack—gathered by the field area while the Alpha, who I wondered whether or not he was going to go with them, said words I did not correctly hear. Perhaps, it was because I was far away from the gathering. But now that I thought about it, I knew for a fact that I didn't want to hear whatever it was. What else could it be if not a way to kill the men of whichever pack it was they were going to? And now that I thought about it, I hoped in my mind that it wasn't a pack I knew. Which pack did I know in the first instance? Once more, I snapped out of my thoughts. Noises were made and bags were hung on the shoulders of a few men. The head of the maids who I recognized, walked out of the kitchen with a large cooler of food. What else could it be if not for food? Alpha Knox smiled at her. She bowed to the man and waved at the others before walking away. This was quite early in t

SAGE Waking up to loud noises, I held my chest. What was that? Instantly, I sat up and looked around the room before tapping Aegon. “Aegon. What's going on?” I tapped him again and he shifted on the bed. “Wake up!” Louder, I shouted. He opened his eyes, looking around the room. “What's that about?” Sitting up, he asked because the noises were too much, and even now, he was standing on his feet, hurrying to a corner of the room where a bag hung. Taking out a gun from it, I didn't know how to react but I didn't care or mind because I wanted not just me, but the whole of the pack to be very safe. “It's nothing—” he had reached the window to take a peep, heaving a sigh as his shoulder dropped. “The Alpha and the rest of the men are back—” Heading back to the corner of the room where the bag where the gun was taken was hung, the man put the tool back in it before reaching the window again. He looked at me, however. “Are you okay?” “Yes, thank you.” Jumping on my feet as well, I jo
Last Updated : 2024-12-08THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS SIXTY-ONE: REVELATION
SAGEFreezing at that instant, I wondered what had happened. I knew inside of me that I felt someone bite me from behind. Not only that, but someone was standing behind me right there—leaving me with no choice but to turn around—only to meet the gaze of the Alpha. No way. Was I—dreaming? “My Lord—” I mouthed, one of my hands reaching for my behind so that I could touch my neck. “Did you—?” The words failed me, while I fixed my gaze on my hand and touched that part of my skin once again. “What did you do?” Maybe this was an accusation. Maybe I was being unfair to the Alpha, it dawned on me and I bowed in respect, looking around as I searched for Aegon. “Where is my husband, Alpha Knox?” And why was he not saying a word? Why couldn't he speak? I looked the man in the face and looked around once again. “Where is the Prince of this pack, Alpha Knox?” I looked him in the face once again, not wanting to believe what my instincts were saying to me. “It was not you, or was it?” Bl
Last Updated : 2024-12-09THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS SIXTY-TWO: REALITY
SAGE A smile appeared on my countenance. It switched to a laugh in seconds. Was this man joking with me? I moped at him, then around before meeting his gaze once again. “I'll take anything from you, but not lies, Alpha Knox. What do you think you're doing?” He didn't say a word. It looked like he was trying to give me time to take in the news. But at the same time, I didn't know if I wanted to take in the news. I wanted him to tell me that it was a joke—but the look on his countenance said something else entirely—leaving me with no other options. No. There had to be options. There just had to be many options. “Talk to me!” I shouted. “Talk to me and do it now. Are you kidding me, Alpha Knox? What is this piece of information supposed to be? A joke?” He shook his head. “I am not lying to you,” he let out. “As a matter of fact, I won't be compelled by my wolf to mark you if it was a joke in the first place. You need to believe me. I'm too old to make jokes about things like thi

THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS 119: THE NEWS
ELEANOR The next morning, I walked out of my chamber with a sober look on my countenance.I didn't want to assume things. Not until I heard from the doctor - the more reason I was leading my way to the hospital at this time of the day. “Good morning, lady Eleanor—” someone greeted, causing me to stop in my tracks automatically. “Good morning to you, too—” I mouthed. I had a question to ask, but on second thought, I changed my mind about it and resumed my movement. “You should have a good day at the end of today.” In no time, I caught up with the gate of the pack. Looking around, I caught sight of the Alpha and Aegon who moped at me with suspicious looks on their faces. Maybe - just maybe they thought I was about to leave for a moment of my own just as I termed it the other day. I didn't have to explain to them but I walked in their direction. “Good morning, Alpha Knox.” I greeted the older man with a bow and faced Aegon who faked a smile. Maybe it wasn't fake either. “Good morn
THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS 118: Mission Accomplished
ELEANOR The next morning, I paced the space of my chamber with a confused look on my countenance - many thoughts running around in my head but one more than the other. How the hell didn't I realize this was a hard task? Maybe. Just maybe that was why Aella could not do a good job in the first instance. Who knew? A sigh ran out of my mouth and I stopped pacing. What do I do? It was very early in the morning. Not many wolves had woken up but there was me who did - especially because I needed to think about how to add this potion to the meal of my sister who sure was asleep. “Oh, no—” a loud cry ran out of my mouth again. What do I do?There was nothing I knew I could do except put in the potion just as the old Witch instructed. And I was going to do that even though I wasn't sure whether this operation would be a successful one or not. Walking back to the bed, I took a seat on it and then lay on my back before drifting to sleep. As soon as the main morning arrived, I was lead
THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS 117: BACK FOR A MISSION.
ELEANOR It was four days after the meeting with the Witch. As expected and after a long wait, the maid assigned to me came over to announce how ready the old man was. “He's asked for you to be in his chamber.” I was ready - more than ready so there was no need to take a bath since I had taken one about an hour ago. “I'm ready to meet with him. Shall we leave?” Not saying a word, the young woman walked before me while I took my place behind her. Together, we walked and as expected, she stopped at the door of the chamber. “You can go in.” She announced before walking away. Not knocking, I pushed the door open and walked into the chamber - catching sight of the old man. “Good day, old man—” I caught up with the center of the room. “I have come just as you have asked. Shall I take a seat?” He nodded, pointing at the couch I was seated on the other day. “Thank you for coming—” he announced, sitting up on the couch. “The potion we talked about is very much ready. Are you ready to do
THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS 116: AN IDEA.
ELEANOR A day after I arrived at the Witch's mansion, the maid assigned to me came over to my chamber to let me know that the old Witch had become more than ready to see me. It was good news - more than good news because the last time I was here, it took me more than a day to see the man. “You must be ready in the next hour.” The maid who came to make the announcement sounded. “I shall return so that you can be taken to the chamber of my master.” Nodding, I got out of bed and reached the bathroom where I washed up, getting more than ready the next time I showed up in the chamber. Where was this maid? Didn't she say she would be here in the next hour? Or was it not an hour yet? Left with no choice, I relaxed on the bed while waiting for the maid to once again show up. A hand knocked on the door, announcing the presence of the maid who had come to take me with her. I let her in with a snap of my fingers. “I'm ready. When shall we leave?” I now sat up on the bed and watched the w
THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS 115: NOT DEAD
ELEANOR Why the hell was she alive and not yet dead?! Another two months had passed and there was no way she was dead. At least, not yet. What was she doing alive? This morning, I woke up with a worried look on my countenance. There was a lot went through my mind as I tried to balance this - especially why my sister—step-sister did not die and was very much still alive. There was no way I could make it make sense because it didn't make any sense to me also. Sage should be dead at this point but she wasn't—at least, not yet. Not yet? If she hadn't died for over two months, when would she finally be dead? I jumped off the bed and looked to my left to meet Aegon who was very much awake - a smile on his countenance. He wasn't smiling at me. He fixed his gaze on the ceiling and looked at me when he felt my gaze on his face. “Good morning—” the smile disappeared from his face and he jumped on his feet. “I should go hunting with the other men.” In a short while, the door opened and
THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS 114: MISSING HER.
KNOXThere was no way I would not miss her. All the time, whenever I set eyes on the bed where I lay all night, all I could think about was Sage and the sweet moment we shared on this same bed. What more could I ask for? A knowing smile came on my countenance this evening while I stared at the bed again, as usual. It had somehow become a daily sacrifice for me - the kind of sacrifice I could never overlook and over again, I looked forward to carrying out this sacrifice another time. A hand on the door cut short my thoughts. I let my gaze disappear from the bed, catching up with the door and pulling it so that it could be open. “Yes, Brian. What do you want from me this time around?” Opening the door wider, I watched him walk into the chamber. Without wasting time, I caught up with the bed but did not allow my thoughts to move in that direction. There was something to attend to, obviously, and that was something I was about to do. “Tell me. What is it?” Again, Brian bowed. “My
THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS 113: WIN. AGAIN!
SAGEEver since the other night—with Alpha Knox, we didn't set eyes on each other again. An act from my end. What were we seeing each other for? What would I say to him? Waking up this morning, I felt very much better than a few days ago when a fever started. What did I do to deserve that? I sat up, relieved from not throwing up like the other nights—and then led my way to the mirror in a corner of the chamber so that I could check myself out. Oh, yes. As usual, I looked good. Once. Twice. Thrice, I shook my head to see if it still hurt. But then, I walked back to the bed to take a seat when I realized how better I had become. All the thanks to Aella. Where was she? The woman needed as much rest as she could get, the last time I checked. She had done more than a lot in these past few days and my wish was to let her be by herself, resting, throughout today. But who was it that knocked at the door? “Lady Sage?” I should have known. Aella would not take the rest I knew sh
THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS 112: SIGHT HER.
ELEANOR The morning came and I was unsettled. There were so many thoughts running around in my head as soon as I opened my eyes on the large bed this morning. What did she go to do? Sage. What did Sage go to do in that area at that time of the morning? I sat up on the bed and looked around for Aegon, not also surprised that he was not somewhere on the bed or even the room, especially when this was something he always did. Aegon should be the least of my concerns. There was something I needed to do than think about why Aegon was not in the chamber with me or on the bed. I got up on my feet and walked to the window so that I could take a look, after which I let go before returning to the bed. Returning to my thoughts. I had seen Sage pass through the hallway in the early hours of the morning when I took a stroll. Sleeping was quite hard for me and in order to not feel worse than I feel, I made up my mind to take a stroll and think of possible ways to feel better. There were
THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS 111: ELEANOR'S EYES.
SAGEIt was me who was first to open my eyes the next morning. Looking to my right, Knox was there. Right there, snoring quietly as he wrapped his arm around my neck. The handsome man. He should not see me here when he woke up. The more reason I was the first to come awake before him—maybe almost all in this royal chamber. I wanted more sleep, but not here. With this, I carefully took the Alpha's hand off my neck and dropped it on the bare bed, sitting up, then standing up. A smile came alive on my countenance. I wanted to think about the former night but I couldn't when I wasn't safe in the chamber I should be in. Staring at my naked self in the mirror, I spent the next moment fighting for my outfit on the floor. When did I even take them off? Was this how sweet sex could be when it was with the person you admire the most? Snapping out of my thoughts, I got dressed quickly. I looked out the window and no one paced the compound. How could they? The morning had yet to come
