KNOX

It was not as though I looked forward to having a conversation with her, but I wondered at the same time how long she needed to get over what happened.

Why did she punish me like this?

What was I thinking?

She needed more than enough time, but how long was it supposed to be?

Looking in the mirror this morning, I wondered if I was ready to be at the diner for the usual family gathering. Sage was going to be there and I wasn't sure if I wanted to see her, even though I complained about her avoiding me.

Now that I thought about it, I knew in my heart that it was better she avoided me. What did I have to say to her?

What could I possibly say to the woman?

A knock on the door cut short my thoughts.

I snapped my fingers and Brian walked in. The young man started with a bow. “I'm here to remind you of the usual family gathering at the dining table. It's supposed to happen today. Do you need me to do something for you?”

“No, Brian. I don't think I'll be needing something—” managin

    KNOXWith a shaky hand and a shaky mind, I unsealed the envelope—thoughts in my head. “I hope this is good, Doctor Logan—” Unable to wait or rather, control myself, I let out. “Here we go.” I mentioned when the seal was taken off completely and the content placed in my hand. Now, I looked at the paper, unfolding it with a sigh running out of my mouth. “Do you have to fold it like this? I'm afraid I don't like this. Or is this one of your ways to tell me that there's trouble?” The man looked at me and I looked away again, fixing my gaze on the already unfolded paper. “What?” A smile on my face explained my mood to Doctor Logan who adjusted on his chair. “This is more than a piece of good news to me, Doctor Logan. Wow!” “Exactly—” the man mopped at me. “I'm glad you understand that this is a piece of good news, Alpha Knox. And I am happy that you're happy. Your blood shows signs of freshness and it's obvious that you're going to feel very much better if you stick to that thing you'

    SAGE I was seated on the bed in our bedroom when the door pushed open. Looking up from where I was seated, I was left with no choice but to plant a smile on my countenance. “My lady—” Aegon stepped into the space. “My Prince—” I called back, shutting my eyes in fear of not covering that part of my neck that should be covered. “How are you doing?” Confirming that it was covered, I shifted to the other side so that he could only stay next to me, but not the side that had the mark next to my neck. “How are you doing, my wife?” That was a strange question. The kind I haven't heard him ask in a long while. At least, since he went on that trip and came back with a gloomy countenance. “I am doing well—” after one moment of thought, I let out. “Do—do you need something?” “No, not at all—” his gaze still fixed on me made me look uncomfortable. “I don't think I need anything from you, my lady. Is there something wrong with checking on you? Mm? Let me know.” My head shook in

    SAGE As usual, I was the first to wake up this morning. My eyes scanned the room and I looked at the window from where rays of sunlight came at me. A smile on my countenance explained how I enjoyed what happened here a few hours ago—even though I still searched my feelings. The Prince and I did not have that attraction. The kind I had with the Alpha. The Alpha, Knox, made my wolf react at the slightest provocation as long as he was standing next to me or if worse, in the same space as me. A smile came on my countenance, widening my face. No, I shouldn't be smiling. I should be angry at the Alpha. Can't I see what he's done? Can't I see the damage he's caused? What does Aegon even think about me? Was he in love with me or something? I looked at the side of the bed where the man lay, shutting my eyes and falling on it the next moment. There was a lot to worry about, but I didn't want to think too much. If there's something I want to think of, it'll be nothing but

    KNOX “How are you, Uncle?” I moped at the man, a smile on my countenance. “I don't recall the last time you asked me this, Aegon. I know I am fine. Very much better than the last time. How are you doing also?” The young man adjusted on the chair in the hall where just the both of us were seated. “I am fine, Uncle. As a matter of fact, I feel good on a morning like this.” “I'm glad. I'm glad.” These days, conversation with my nephew seems like a waste of time. I was hurt for doing something like that to him and I was almost sure that the guilt could be read on my countenance. What was I supposed to do? I couldn't avoid the young man for the rest of my life, so this was a truth I must live with. A smile came on my countenance and I looked up. “Do you want to tell me how your wife is faring, son? Do you also want to talk about something? The look on your countenance says it all.” “Well—” the young man adjusted on the chair. “I thought I could talk to you about something, Uncle

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   SEVENTY-ONE: MORE BLOOD. WHAT FOR??

    SAGE The full moon passed a few nights ago. Everything and everyone in the Pack returned to normal, including myself who was a little bit shaken by the new weather—although I felt better already. My eyes opened on the bed this morning. Aegon wasn't next to me as it should be, leaving me to wonder where he was at this time of the morning. I sat up, heaving a sigh as I let out my first yawn of the day. The day had started, but where was Aegon? My legs led me to my feet and I paced the room while trying so hard to regain the little strength I should have in me. Now, there was a knock on the door. The thoughts running around in my head seized automatically and I asked. “Who's there?” Knowing fully well that it was none other than Aella who had come to bathe me as usual by this time of the day. “My lady?” She called. “It's me. Your maid, Aella. I have come to bathe you this morning.” Snapping my fingers, the woman walked in in seconds. Bowing, she mouthed. “Good morning to the fut

    SAGEWhat was he doing here? The look on my countenance wasn't welcoming and in seconds, I changed it to something welcoming. There was a smile on my countenance and I bowed, not knowing what to do—at the same time wondering the last time I had seen the man. That was a long time ago. “Alpha Knox—” Left with no choice, I mouthed. “Good morning, Lady Sage,” in seconds, the man scanned the room before walking further. “I thought it was wise to check in on you. I almost cannot recall the last time we set eyes on each other. How are you today?” He was right. Even I could not recall the last time we set eyes on each other. Many thoughts were running around in my head and one of the wishes I had was the man turning around and leaving this space. The usual reaction I had whenever he was in the space with me was not wasting time to arrive. I could feel it—right there, at that side of my chest and once again, it felt as though my wolf was about to come to life. “I—” I stuttered. “I am d

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   SEVENTY-THREE: SPECIAL TREATS

    KNOX There was no way I would be mad at the woman for forgetting to speak to me as the Alpha that I was. For all that I knew and somehow, I deserved to be spoken to like that, and I won't for one moment, blame her. I had done a lot to her. A lot that she didn't know about. Starting from bringing her into a cursed family without her consent or knowledge of it. How could I be so—? I stopped to look at the door of my room—a door I caught up with, already. One push and it was opened. One step and I was inside the space, digging my way through the bedside. A part of me had wanted to speak. Perhaps the young woman had forgotten she was talking to me, hence the tone she used in speaking to me. Again, I could not blame her. I needed to take my bath before anything. Hunger was another word to describe me and the mood I was in, but I had to endure until after my bath, so I jerked a towel from a hanger where it relaxed before leading my way to the door of the bathroom. At that instant, a

    SAGE*One Month LaterAbout a few days ago, I went to drop a sample of my blood for Doctor Logan, the man in charge of the Pack's medical activities. There was a need to check if I was pregnant because I felt sick, somehow these days. Perhaps it was me who thought about it a lot, and nothing was wrong with me. But how could I be so sure? My legs led me out of the chamber. Aella had bathed me a while ago, and I was ready to leave on my own—without her just as it should be. Maybe it shouldn't be so, but I wanted this meeting to be between myself and the man who took my blood sample a few days ago. “Shall I come with you, my lady?” I stopped walking and turned to look at the guard who stood at the door. “No, there'll be no need for that. My intention is to take a walk around the Pack's compound and I shall be back before you know it—” lies. Lies upon lies, but should I care? I didn't want to be followed and would do anything at all to have it that way. Again, I moved, humming a son

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
