KNOXNo one needed to tell me that the wife of my nephew was angry that I would do something like that. I, myself, wasn't expecting such a thing from myself but what would she have me do? Chase the woman away or rather, make it obvious that we wanted her out of the pack. During the day, I discussed with Doctor Logan who tried his best to convince me to get married. “Did my nephew talk you into talking to me about marriage, Logan? How many more times before you finally give up?” Sipping from the bottle, I looked at him again. “No amount of advice will make me change my mind. As a matter of fact, not even the Moon Goddess will make me change my mind. Don't you understand?” “My lord—”“No, Logan—” cutting him short, I got on my feet. “Why not tell me what the test results say? I need to know if my death is soon. This way, I shall lecture the young man on what to do when I am gone.”“The test results says the same thing.” I turned to face him, shutting my closet door. “No differenc
SAGE Keenly, I watched him. I was in search of that look. The same one I had expected from Aegon. There was a look on his face. But it wasn't a look of disappointment. It was the kind that expressed shock and pity. “I'm so sorry.” What for?I looked away. “I'm just saying, my lord.”“I know,” he let out, walking briefly before stopping in his tracks. “But you shouldn't have a thing to worry about. The last time I checked, you're family more than she is and as a matter of fact, we would protect the both of you. From each other if possible. Do you understand?”He was the one who wasn't understanding. Was it so hard to understand that my sister—that bitch who I have no relationship whatsoever with, is a snake? How hard was it? I looked at the poor Alpha, recalling that the Prince had talked about him taking drugs a certain time when I was newly brought into the Pack. “Are you sick, my lord?” Shock on his countenance, he looked at me. “How do you mean? Do I look sick to you, Sag
SAGEOf all the things to hear him say, I didn't expect this. Not for a fleeting moment did I expect that, which caused me to look up so that I could see his face and be certain that this wasn't a set-up. “Aegon,” looking away, I looked at him once more. “Did I hear you correctly?” Smiling to cover up what I could feel inside of me, I asked again. “What did you say, my lord?” He adjusted on the bed once more, a worried look clouding his expression. “Forgive me, my lady. But don't you think we should make babies? Did you think that you would stay away from me for the rest of your life in this room?” “No, I didn't think that,” it was more of a genuine smile than a fake one. “You know fully well how willing I am to carry your child, or don't you? The truth remains that I wasn't expecting you to ask for it too soon.” He nodded. Standing on his feet also. “I understand and I am sorry if it came out too soon. But since we got married, we have yet to do what a husband and wife should d
SAGE“When did I become important to you that you'll need to check up on me? I don't rate you. You don't rate me. Why then do you pretend to care about me?” “Oh, you know that I don't rate you,” she scoffed. “I only wanted to talk to you about something. I cannot recall the last time we engaged in a real conversation and that's all I'm trying to do right now. I know you want it.”Such a pathetic human. What was she thinking? “I need to take a tray of food from the kitchen, Eleanor. Gone are the days when you thought I had your time. Now, I don't, in case it's very hard for you to see.” Turning around once more, I walked away. She sounded like she had something important to talk about. But there was me who didn't have any interest in it. Walking to the door of the kitchen in a short while, I peeped into the space before walking in. Everyone who did one or two things stopped. “My lady,” as if it was planned, they all echoed. “Where is your maid? You shouldn't be here for any rea
SAGEEven though I had walked out with no hopes of listening to her any longer, I did not stop thinking for a moment about what she said. There were glints of truth that I could see in her eyes, unlike the other times when she did nothing else but lie. Does that mean she was telling the truth? I stopped in my tracks, shaking my head. Did that mean that I was truly thrown out of the hospital by a woman who should not have let me go in the first place? My legs began to walk again, and I stopped once more in my tracks. Indeed, I found myself in the wild one day, and discovered I was a Silver wolf when most people came for me, and after speaking to Silver for the first time in my love. Was it Mother who sent them after me as soon as she dumped me? Why wasn't I even killed? These and many more questions were running around in my head even when I had started to walk again. I wish that I had come with Aella. Eleanor would not have the chance to say this nonsense to me in the presence
KNOXIn the comfort of my chamber, I waited for the arrival of my nephew. I hadn't heard from him for two days and this wasn't his fault, but rather myself who had asked the guard to not let anyone in—in the meantime. I was having the rest of my life and from the look of things, I had had more than enough and had become ready to take in visitors—Aegon especially, into my chamber. Snapping my fingers once again, I watched the door to my chamber push open, and the guard at the door walked into the space. “My lord,” he said with a bow. “Is there something I can do for you?” Bowing again, he asked. “Yes—” I nodded, looking around the space before meeting his gaze. “I need to ask. Did you speak to my nephew about coming to see me? I know I asked you to do that a while ago, but I need to be sure that we're on the same page.” He bowed. “Yes, my lord. I have done that.” “Good,” I nodded, thinking of the next errand to send him on. “Would you be kind enough to arrive at the kitchen and l
ELEANOR For the first time in a very long time, the master idea I was waiting for popped into my head. Smiling, I paced the grounds of the chamber I owned in this pack, thinking of the right way to go about it. Then, another idea on how exactly to go about it came rushing into my head just as I wanted it. Hours later, I had come back from a hospital I had noticed on the night I took a long walk—with the item I needed for the cause of my next mission, right in my hand. But I was certain to hide it at the right spot which was underneath my outfit. What next? I asked myself, taking the item out of its hiding place. My legs led me to the closet and I put it in there for now, waiting for the right time when I would strike. It had to be at night and not during the day just as it was. A knock on the door cut short my thoughts. Looking around the room just to be certain that there's nothing that can implicate me on the surface of the bed and even on the ground, I snapped my fingers—
SAGEYet, another week. Another day, even. This was the day when we were to be gathered again at the dining hall and I didn't want to be there. Aella, as usual, barged into the room. “Good morning, my Lady,” smiling, she reached the bedside. “It is time.” Mouthing, she looked at Aegon who rolled over to the other side of the bed. “Good morning, Prince Aegon. Is there something I can do for you?” The man shook his head. “Nothing at all, young lady. As a matter of fact, you don't owe me but the woman who I am married to.” He reached my side and kissed me, letting go and then looking at Aella, the maid, who bowed. “I'll take a bath first, then be out before my lady. She needs some time to come awake, or can you not see that?” “Yes, my lord.” Relaxing some more on the bed, I knew this chamber was better than the other one. At least, I don't get to bathe now unlike it used to be in that chamber. “Did you have a good night, Aella?” There was something different. Something I could
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
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
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. Are you ready to do
