“My lord. They're here.”

Who are they?

“I have no idea what you speak about, Wolf. Who is here?”

The man bowed again. “The family of Prince Aegon's wife. The Alpha came along with another lady. Alongside some men from his Pack. I believe them to be guards.”

Then it hit me.

How could I forget?!

And to think that the Wolves were out of their rooms, doing tasks as usual. How did I forget? A sigh ran out of my mouth while I looked up to meet the guard's gaze.

“Where are they?”

“In the Pack's meeting hall,” he bowed. “They were led there by a maid since it's the usual place you meet with strangers. Especially because of—”

“Shut up. I know.”

I was still in my thoughts when a hand knocked on the door. Looking up, I didn't need to be told that it was Aegon. No one else knocked like him in the whole of the Pack. “Alpha Knox,” I could now hear him call. “I need to speak with you and this is pretty urgent.”

“You may leave—” I said to the guard.

“Come on in, Aegon. I'm available for

    KNOXI could not believe my ears.Not for a moment. All I could do was gaze at Alpha Arden. What he said sounded like nonsense to me, and I was more than ready to refuse his offer. “Did you hear me, Alpha Knox?” He called, smiling as he continued to eat. “We have come to take our daughter and hand Eleanor to you instead. What do you think of that?” At least he asked. I looked up, smiling. “Well, I think that's an impossible request you have there, Alpha Arden. It's very impossible to give back a woman we have already taken. I'm sure you know that but still came ahead to try your luck. And at the same time, I'm more than sorry to disappoint you.” “I'm afraid this is for your good, Alpha Knox,” I could now see the disappointment on his countenance. Not just his, but that of his daughter as well. “We have come for a good cause and not the wrong one.” What did he mean? Was there something about Sage I needed to know? I looked at his other daughter who was waiting for me to speak

    KNOXWe sat there, waiting for his arrival. At this point, I had run out of patience but I had to wait. Just wait for him to get here. And it seemed like it. When the hall gate opened, I sat up on my chair, more than ready to address the matter and dismiss these people. “My lord!” From a distance, he hailed. “Forgive me if I am late for this meeting.”“I was taking a bath when the guard came to call me. Good day, my lord.” Stopping in his tracks, he looked at our guests and then myself again. “I—”“Come on, Aegon,” I called. “You should take a seat. We might have something to talk about. Our guests asked for this and that is why you have been called.” He started walking once again, catching up with a seat not so far from me. I heaved a sigh, knowing fully well what was about to happen. I didn't need to ask before knowing he would reject the offer, especially when he'd said to me so many times that he loved the woman he was with. Why would he change his mind suddenly? How possibl

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   TWENTY-SEVEN: One Plot

    ELEANOR Disappointment ran through my veins like blood. Anger could be seen on my countenance as well and one thing I wanted to do was rip off the hearts of those men. Why did they at some point think that they could make a mockery of us? Especially the Alpha who had it clearly written on his countenance like a birthmark. I settled down on the bed in the large room assigned to me. A sigh ran out of my mouth—more like a sigh of relief. This was the time for me to come up with something to do in order to be Aegon's wife. Did you see how he spoke to me back in that hall? None other way than the gentleman that he was. Instead of the usual anger that was plastered on my countenance, I had a smile on it instead. Aegon was such a handsome man. More than I would ever imagine. Back to the day of his wedding to that bitch I call a sister, he didn't look as fine as he currently did. Did that mean—No, I didn't want to think about the possibility. It should be the least of my busines

    ELEANOR “I'll be right back,” the maid, who had fallen for the prank, turned around, forgetting to bow, and then rushed out in seconds, hitting the door hard. A smile came on my face. But it wasn't done yet. There was no guarantee that I would stay here and not leave. What was she going to do? What else besides passing the message to my Father who was waiting for me? Where was she going?!What was Father going to do?Sitting up on the bed, I heaved a sigh. I was tired of pretending already but what would these people have me do? Laying back, I looked at the door, pretending as I shook underneath the duvet once again. In a short while, the door opened. Instead of my Father just as I expected, the maid was running back into the room. “Alpha Arden will be here in a short while. But I wanted to know if there's something I can help you with while he is at it.” I opened my eyes slowly. “Wh—what did he say?” She shook her head. “He didn't say anything. But he is as shocked as I am

    ELEANOR It was sweet. More than just sweet, in fact. All day, I stayed back in the massive room I was given, looking around and lying on the large bed. There was more than enough time on my watch, according to what I had seen. Daily, the Pack's doctor, Doctor Logan walked in and out of the room to check in on me and see how far the vitamins worked. Vitamins I seldom took. Again, there was a knock on the door today. As usual. It just depended on who exactly. “Who is it?” I looked at the door, gaining composure on the bed. “Who?” Snapping my fingers, I watched the door open and the guard who the Alpha had kept there for me, walking in with his head bowing. “My lady,” he called. “Doctor Logan is here to check in on you.” He explained while I nodded. “Shall I let him in?” “Yes, please. Let him in.” The door shut when he walked out. The next time it opened, it was the tall, handsome man in disguise of a doctor walking into the chamber. “Lady Eleanor!” He chattered. “A very g

    SAGEThe slightest idea of what was going on was far from me. It's been four days since they came into the Pack and until now, I had yet to understand what exactly was going on. “How are you, my love?” Today, Aegon walked into the room I moved into a while ago. I looked up from the bed where I was seated. “I was just about to eat something, Aegon,” I let out. “Good morning. How have you been? It's been a while since I saw you or heard from you?” “I'm so sorry, baby,” he hugged me to himself. “I miss you so much. I've just been helping my uncle with a lot and I didn't for one moment forget about a woman like you.” I nodded.It was understandable, after all. If only I had stayed back with him in that room, then there was no way I would not have all the answers I needed to myself. Was this a sign to move back into the room? “What is happening?” “What do you mean?” He let go of me, taking a seat on the bed. “Did you say you wanted to eat? How come you haven't? This is almost noon.

    SAGEWhy? 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 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

  • 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

    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

  • 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
