SAGE

Why?

Why?!

I stared at both men, not knowing what to say. What was there to say? Or rather, what reaction were they expecting from me to such news?

I was not happy and could not fake happiness.

“You're not saying anything, Sage,” one of them cut short my thoughts. “I don't know, but I don't want you to be silent about this. What do you have in mind?”

That was Knox.

I looked up and moped at both men before looking away. “I have no thoughts, my lord. You shouldn't worry about me for any reason. I'm just not—”

“Come on,” Aegon cried.

He reached for the bed and took a seat on it.

“You needed to see me at that meeting, Sage. Now I wish that I took a recording of what I said to them. Wait—” he looked at his uncle, who was all smiles.

“There's a camera everywhere in the Pack except for the rooms. We could show it to her if she wants.”

The Alpha nodded. “At least, it's proof enough that we're on your side. Do you want to see it now?”

Did I want to see it?

Of course, I wanted t

    ELEANOR Unable to stay back in my room all day, I took my bath and got ready to leave this space. With a smile on my countenance and pride in my heart, I reached the entrance of the room. It was late in the evening and the last time I checked, this was the time I took a walk back in The Moonclaw Pack—alone or with one of my brothers. Smiling, I waved at anybody I could. “Good evening, Lady Eleanor—” many maids referred to me this way and I loved it. For all that I knew and cared about, I was going to keep it this way for a long time and it'll be none other way—than staying back in this Pack for as long as I could. Catching up with the Pack's largest living room—the one connecting the living room and the outer part of the Pack, I stopped to admire the settings. There were just so many places I hadn't been to since I came into this pack. How many more haven't I seen yet? Catching up with the entrance, I turned around to look at the space, changing my mind and walking out final

    ELEANOR I watched him leave my side, his large back swinging from side to side while Anger had become my name. How could he refuse me a simple favor? Why was this man being difficult? Again, the wolves made a noise and cheered their Alpha when he reached the spot. The Alpha himself smiled, waving back at them, and for once, looked in my direction before finally leaving my sight. Fuck him! After being all nice to him, I get this in return. How could he do a thing like this to me? I was still moping at him even though he wasn't there, clearly angry that he would even walk out on me. Where was such a thing done?When I realized I was frowning too much, I changed it to a smile and picked up the large bowl from the ground where it was. Just then, a male wolf made to pass by me but I stopped him before he would get to wherever it was he was headed to. “Can I have a word with you?” He bowed. “Yes, my lady. What can I do for you?” I then looked around me. “Where can I keep this bowl o

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS    THIRTY-FOUR: A LITTLE CONFRONTATION

    SAGEIt was another weekend—a day to finally walk out of my chamber whether or not I wanted to. Moping at my figure in the royal mirror, I wondered if it was right to refuse to leave my chamber on this day. Maybe I could tell Aella about how tired I was or maybe sick. No, I shook my head in refusal. Why should I be scared? For all that I knew, it was Eleanor who should be scared of me and not the other way around. Leaving the mirror area completely, I walked back to the bed where I took a seat. Moments later, I was lying on it with thoughts of what the time could be and this was the point where I got to start preparing. Why was Aella not here yet? Standing on my feet, I reached the closet where I took out my towel. In moments, I was reaching for the bathroom. I didn't want to be bathed by the lady so it was better I did it myself before she would make it to the chamber with arguments of how it's her duty and not mine. After a long while in the bathroom, I walked out with water

    SAGE She burst out laughing, leaving me wondering what exactly I said that was funny. Or was this her coping mechanism? I moped at Eleanor, not for a moment taking my gaze off her. “You have yet to answer my question.” “What question?” She walked closer. Prideful. “Are you here to ask if it's the same man who rejected me right in front of Father I have come to take? Or do you have something else to ask me?” Now stopping right in my face. No fear. No respect. Did this bitch forget that this Pack was now my home and I had a say on whether she would stay or not? Moping at a small girl who I happened to be taller than, I couldn't help, but smile. “Sister—” “Yes!” Now I cut her short, my tone increasing. “I'm asking you that same question. What did you say you have come to take? A man you own, is it not? And now that I ask if it's the same man who rejected you right in the presence of your family and my new family, why do you choose not to answer? Or have you go

    SAGEI looked at Aella who looked at me. The spoon hung in her hand, causing me to almost laugh but nothing was funny. Not when she told me about the rules of this pack. “Hi, Aegon—”“What is going on here?” Aegon, who was more interested in what was happening, walked into the room with the same questioning gaze plastered on his countenance. “Don't you know the rules any longer, Aella?” “I do,” she dropped the spoon. “My lady insisted that I join her, so I did. I'm sorry, Prince Aegon.” Aegon looked at me. “Did you ask her to join you?”“Yes,” I dropped my spoon as well. “She's not going to be here with me if I don't ask her to. And she tried refusing but I didn't let it happen because I needed company also. I'm sorry, Prince Aegon.” He nodded. “You can continue your eating.”Aella shook her head. “Go on, Aella. I have already asked you.” She took a seat again, of course after bowing to the Prince and maybe me. “Thank you.” The new week came in a hurry. With a smile on my c

    SAGEThat wasn't so shocking to hear. What did I expect from a man as strong as Knox and the rest of his members? Of course, they have to have ended lives long before my existence in the pack—and maybe the world in general. Now was my turn to speak, with a nod that I gave, I sat up, and fed Aegon with a spoonful of the meal. “I have heard more than enough tales about the Alpha, and I'm certain that this strength applies to you.” He chuckled. “What?” I fed him again. “Nothing, my lady. It's just—” He trailed off, taking it up once more. “I am a strong man. In the history and existence of this pack, I don't think that there's been a weak man. I am a strong man but my uncle doesn't want me involved in things like that. According to him, I may resume fighting as soon as I mount his throne as the next Alpha.” That was a relief. From the onset of my life, I had wanted a strong man for my husband, but I didn't want him with so much blood on his hands and that's just what I discovered

    SAGE Today was one of those days when it was mandatory that the royal family gather at the dining hall to eat. Waking up with a slight headache, I questioned myself on why I didn't sleep early the previous night. My gaze now drifted to the door when a hand knocked on it. That was Aella—I didn't need to ask. “Come on in already—” I cried. “The door is opened.” In a moment, it was pushed open. “Good morning, my Lady,” with a bow, she greeted. “It is a pleasant surprise to see your door open for the first time while you sleep. Is there a reason for that?”“Get me off this bed and don't ask silly questions.”“Oh, my lady,” she walked closer. “I should have known you forgot to do the locking and that's why your door is unlocked. What shall I do for you?” “Aella!” Holding back my laughter, I let her help me up. “They'll be waiting at the dining hall by now in case you've forgotten. Why not concentrate on dressing me up rather than gossiping about why I forgot to lock my door?” “Apol

    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

    KNOX**Months laterI woke up to the loud cry of a woman. The voice would be familiar if I had heard Sage cry a lot. But this was worse than I could ever imagine. Sitting up on the bed, I looked at Sage who was seated with her hand rubbing on her stomach. “I think the child is on its way.” “What?!” Jumping off the bed, I rushed to the door and opened it, sighting Brian who rushed in on command. “Aella!” At the top of my voice, I also shouted. Rushing back to the room, Sage was helped on her feet by Brian who had all the strength. Joining strength with the man, we managed to take Sage to the door and it was at this point that Aella showed up, confused. In her night dress. “My lady?!” She cried, rushing to our side but there was nothing she could do, especially when two hefty men were in charge of the current situation. Then, I ordered. “Get her clothes. The baby's and every other necessary thing while you join us at the center.” “Argh!” The shout of Sage and her hand digging i

    SAGEMoonclaw Pack? Did I hear the man correctly? “Moonclaw Pack?” I walked towards the door and out of the room. The next time I turned around, Alpha Knox walked behind me. There was a look on his countenance and it looked like anger more than the normal him. Together, we caught up with the entrance of the living room and walked out with anger on my countenance. I knew already that it was the people I once lived with, but what did they want from me? “Good day, Luna of The Darkfangs Pack.” Did that—was that greeting for me? I looked around in shock, not believing my eyes and ears. What did I just hear? I looked at my brothers who had smiles on their faces, wondering also what was funny and why they smiled. “Good day to you—” I let out after some time. “Good day, Alpha Knox.” My husband walked forward. There was a smile on his countenance but I could tell that it was fake. How could it not be? “What can I do for you today, my in-laws?” The old Alpha walked closer. He bowe

    SAGEDays after Aegon was buried, the coronation ceremony came to life and everyone in the Pack ran around. With a smile on my countenance, I looked in the mirror at how good I looked—nodding in satisfaction with my heart that looked forward to the ceremony. Everywhere in the compound looked set. I was ready. I could feel it inside of me. What more could I ask for? The smile faded when thoughts of Aegon came running in my head but I pushed it away the next moment, smiling once again with my heart that looked forward to the ceremony. “You're beautiful in your outfit, my lady.” “Thank you.” I turned to look at the maid who did a good job of getting me ready. “Can we leave already?” “Yes—” the maid mouthed. She got off the bed and took hold of my garment from behind. Something Aella should be doing but I struggled so hard to not think about a woman who had done nothing but betray me. She did what she had to do, after all. The Alpha will need to be spoken to as soon as the ceremo

    KNOXSage nodded. “I'm ready, Knox.”Taking back her hand in mine, I led her out of the chamber. Through the hallway, we went—with Brian who walked behind me all this while. My guard who never would let me down. It didn't take long to get down the stairs. So many thoughts ran around in my head but I let it be because, at the end of the day, everything would play right. Either right or wrong. “Gather the wolves, Brian. You may leave now. I'm sure the angry wolves cannot do anything to me and the woman. But if they choose to be violent, then we shall have it.” There was no need to play nice any longer. Not when I could turn into a wolf and deal with them. Catching up with the compound of the main pack, I felt something—someone squeeze my hand. “Easy, my lady—” I looked at the woman. “I'm sorry, my lord. Forgive my actions.” Sage looked up at me and then at the wolves who looked so much in her direction while they gathered in front of me. “Where are all the wolves?” More wolves

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   138: Talk To The Wolves

    SAGE I shouldn't have returned to the pack with Knox, but I didn't have a choice because, at that point, the man was not going to let me be on my own, and talk more about finding my way. “You're going back to The pack with me and nothing is going to change that—” In a commanding tone I could not refuse, Knox picked up Aegon's lifeless body on the floor. This was a moment I had refused to believe was real but I didn't have a choice because it played right in front of me. Another reason I could not refuse to go back to the pack with Knox. I didn't want to die, even though it seemed otherwise all these while. A sigh ran out of my mouth and my mouth opened in more tears—while I walked behind Knox who was ahead of me with the lifeless body. How much longer before we arrived at the pack? I was tired. Tired of everything, especially walking such a distance with so many bags to carry along even though it was just one and there was Knox who took everything up in his arms. When does it get

    KNOXHow could I explain this to him? “Did you say a woman I have been married to since all these while is your mate, Uncle?” I nodded, ashamed but what choice did I have? “She's your mate. You've known from the onset.” I looked at Sage who had it clear on her face that she was scared. But I shifted closer to her so that she could feel nothing but safety while Aegon remained in his feelings. “Aegon—” I then called. “You need to calm down and listen to me. I didn't mean to hurt you.” “I didn't say you did—” he chuckled, standing on his feet. “I'll need some time to take in this news so you must give me some—” he walked away and was out of our sight. The next time we set eyes on Aegon, it was moments later when he walked back into the scene so that he could take his flask and with this, the man was gone from our sight again. “He hates us—” Sage cried. “I can see it.” “You don't know what you're talking about—” I cried. “He's my nephew and a good man at that. Aegon cannot bring hi

    SAGEI didn't know what to feel like. Especially seeing Aegon who I should be avoiding. There was shock on the countenance of Knox who didn't expect Aegon of all the people in the Pack to say that. But what choice did the Alpha have? “I'll go with you if Knox doesn't.” “I didn't say I wouldn't go—” Knox mouthed. He looked away from me and met the gaze of Aegon who watched with thoughts that surely were running around his head. “Aegon, you don't have to do this. The members might come for you if they find out it's you who helped us.” “I got tired of living a long time ago—” Aegon looked at me and then his uncle. “We'll leave in a short while. For now, I need to get a few things ready because it might be a long journey and you don't want to know how long.”The sound of ‘long’ scared me more than anything. What was the man talking about? “I don't care how long it is—” I interrupted everyone's thoughts. “Myself and Knox will be here.” He nodded, faced the door, and came out of my

    KNOXI relaxed on the bed, my eyes shut as I rested from everything that happened the day before. Suddenly, a hand hit me from behind. Or even in front of me. “Open your eyes, Knox. Can't you see?!” At the top of her voice, a woman shouted like never before. Forced to open my eyes, I looked around the space as I tried so hard to read the room so that I could understand what was happening. That was when the voices of wolves—angry wolves filled my ears. “Give Her To Us!” “Can you hear that?” An already crying Sage mouthed. Letting go of me, the woman reached the end of the room before turning back around to look at me—her eyes teary. “I don't know what I'm supposed to do—can't you see they want me given to them?” I still didn't understand because there was so much sleep in my eyes and I didn't know what to do and how to do it. Rather, I was on my feet and reaching the other end of the chamber so that I could pay attention to what was going on but how could I? More sleep filled my

    SAGEWhat he was saying didn't make any sense, but I wanted to hear more of it. “What did you say, Knox? And how do you mean?” “Isn't it simple?” He adjusted on the couch but I wondered how I was supposed to know. “You being a Silver Wolf is a good thing for this pack. The members don't see it.” “You're confusing me. I don't understand you.” Again, the Alpha adjusted on the couch. A sigh ran out of his mouth and he let out. “I don't think we should talk about it yet, Sage. Give me some time to process my thoughts. Do you need something?” Why did he act that way? It was my turn to let out a sigh. Even though I wanted to hear the man talk to me about how a Silver Wolf could be of help to him and the Pack, I wished I could not listen to him say it. “Hello, Sage. Did you at least hear me?” I nodded and shook my head. “Forgive me, Alpha Knox. But I heard you. I'm just too overwhelmed by a lot to recall what you said a while ago. Can you remind me?” The man got up. He walked to
