SAGE

Tonight, 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

    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

    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?“What do you have to say, Prince Aegon? Do you have th

  • 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

    ELEANOR Why was it taking so much time to see her dead? It was late in the evening when I had seen Sage walk through the compound with Aella, who sold her and even without her knowing. A satisfied smile had appeared on my countenance, but at the thought of it, I wondered what was keeping the Silver Wolf from coming to life just as I was waiting for. How long was it supposed to take before working? Or did something happen with the meal from that day? Certainly, I put the substance—all of it in the meal. In the same way, I watched Aella take the tray to the dining hall and even watched Sage eat the meal with a smile. What then happened? What happened? I wondered with a sigh running out of my mouth. Once again, I looked at the compound to see that my step sister and her maid were gone from my sight. Just then, I let go of the window, falling on the bed with one last sigh that ran out of my mouth. Sitting back up, I realized I needed to take a walk. The last time I left the cham

    SAGE The announcement of a ball event brought joy to my soul. There was no way I wouldn't be happy when I spent almost all day in the chamber and doing nothing exactly. It was just one day, and so what? I would have all the funs I wished to have. Ever since the ball announcement was made, I made it my sole obligation to count down to the last day of the month. This day was coming so fast and I looked forward to spending so much time in the usual hall instead of my chamber - a place I had gotten tired of. This morning, I woke up with a tired sigh running out of my mouth as I looked around the chamber just so I could countdown to the last day of the month, as usual. Sitting up on the bed, I realized that there were only eight days that remained before the month ended. The ball was fast approaching and the thought of this alone made me jump on my feet and reach the closet so that I could take a look. No, there would be no need when I had a woman like Aella in my life. She was goi

    KNOXThe last time I thought about it, I realized how much I wanted the pack to have another good moment. What else could it be if not for an event? The thought of it alone made me smile this morning as soon as I opened my eyes. Thoughts ran around in my head and I was on my feet—pacing the space as I thought about the choice I had come up with. How could I ever forget this in the first place? So long as I could recall, the moon goddess had been nothing but nice to me. As a matter of fact, she did a lot by allowing herself and the pack to come victorious during the times when there were wars and what did I do? This was the right time to host an event. Something like never before. Something that would be the talk of the kingdom. For the moon goddess, and the other wolves. What else could she ask for? She had done more than enough for me and the other members and for all that I knew, this was the right time to thank her and this way would be best. Nodding in confirmation. I

    SAGEIt was a good moment. One I didn't know would happen soon. I walked to the gate of the compound and turned to see if I would see the Alpha but he wasn't there. How could I possibly see the garden from this spot? A smile came on my countenance and I walked into the living room, falling on the couch as I heaved a sigh - realizing how tired I had become - merely by speaking to a man. He was not just any man. A smile came on my countenance again. I nodded and changed position on the couch before making up my mind to stand. But on second thought, I sat back and shook my head - wondering also why there were never really wolves in this living room. It was always empty. Was everyone so busy that they did not have some time to spare for each other? A sigh ran out of my mouth as I switched position on the couch - wondering why now I could not think about one thing - rather my thoughts had become very scattered. Knox. The man I had seen moments ago looked weak. Maybe the blood I

    KNOXIt was late in the afternoon. Since I didn't have anything to do in my chamber - including taking a nap, I made up my mind to take a walk in the compound like I have always done even though it's been a while since I came out. I had seen Sage a couple of times - like a few days ago when I caught her at the other end. She didn't see me, but I had seen her or maybe she saw me. Wearing a jacket because of the weather - not just the weather but my health, I walked towards the door with a smile that was planted against my wish. Arriving at the entrance of the compound, I spent the next moment planning my walk into the compound itself - thinking also about Sage and whether or not I was going to see her beautiful face again. We didn't have to talk - for all that I knew. There was so much to do other than talking. Maybe think about that moment in that room, or maybe think about how beautiful she looked in her outfit. “Greetings, my lord.” I looked up to meet the gaze of a few wolv

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   120: NOT SO GOOD.

    ELEANOR “No. No.” The words ran out of my mouth as I shook my head in disagreement even when I knew there was nothing I could do about it. “No.” Again, I stared at the piece of paper - reading the lines I did not even understand in order to check and see if there was something I understood in it. I could not be pregnant, could I? How could I not be pregnant? The Prince and I have had sex a couple of times and there was no way he did not cum in me and maybe that was because he didn't know I wasn't pregnant. After all, if the man knew about my schemes, he would not have done what he did. After pacing the chamber for a while, I caught up with the bed and was seated in it the very next moment - my head filled with so many thoughts - including how this had become a good thing for us. Wasn't it? At least, I had become pregnant, normally - like every other pregnant woman who had real hormones. This was going to happen to me as well, even though I didn't want it but in another way, I

  • 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

    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

    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.
