SAGE

It was another night.

Another night to share the room with my husband. A man who lay next to me on the large bed. My eyes were opened and sleep was far from me, hence my reason for sitting up.

Aegon shifted a little, facing the other side of the bed. It was what I wanted. A moment to myself, but this wasn't enough. Standing on my feet, I snatched the towel from the closet and rushed to the bathroom for a shower.

It was late at night and at the same time, I didn't mind.

Not when I needed this to calm my nerves in the first instance. Soon enough, I relaxed in the tub, changing my mind as I chose to use the shower instead.

After a long while in the bathroom, I felt better.

But not in the way I wanted to feel.

For some time, I moped at my husband who didn't move but lay like a log of wood on the bed.

Now that I thought about it, I couldn't help but wonder what the issue with him could be. And why he doesn't seem to notice when I made a move on the bed.

For all that I knew a

    SAGESuch an attentive man. Now that he talked to me in a way I wished to be spoken to, I felt more relaxed, smiling also while I thought about what was there that I needed answers to. Was I really thinking when there was a million and one question I had to ask? Especially when they were very obvious. Once more, I adjusted on the couch. “I wanted to know what my family members are coming here to do,” I let out. “I know I have no rights, but I am just worried and would love to know. Nothing more, my lord.” He heaved a sigh. It looked like a sigh of relief. Why was that? Did I ask the wrong question? Looking up to meet his gaze, I could see him smiling this time. “Is everything okay, my lord?” “Yes, Sage. You have nothing at all to worry about.” He assured me with a nod. “I just thought—nevermind. I have no idea what your Father is coming here to do. I must be honest with you. At some point, I believed you communicated with them about an issue or two you may be going through ov

    ELEANOR I was taking a nap this afternoon when a hand knocked on the door of my room. “Eleanor!” One of my brothers shouted, startling me as I forced myself to sit up. “What are you doing at this time of the day?” He knocked again and I sat up, looking around the room before meeting my own gaze. At this point and against my wish, I was forced to stand on my feet and head towards the door. “What is it?”He walked in. As usual, Alistair didn't know what it meant to leave me to my privacy but I didn't mind. Not today. Not when it looked like he had a reason to be in my chamber. “What is it, Alistair? Do I owe you?” I asked again, settling into the comfy chair somewhere in the room not so far from the bed. “Of course, you don't,” he mouthed, relaxing on my bed. “I came to let you know that Father wants to see you. But you can't see him like this so you must take a bath or maybe wash your face before leaving this room.” My brow raised. What was he talking about? And what did he me

    SAGEIt was the weekend in The Darkfangs Pack. Aella had come to wake me up this morning. Something unusual of her to do. “What?” Holding back my anger, I jumped out of bed. “Is everything okay with you this morning? And where is Aegon?” I turned back to look at the bed to see he was gone. Nowhere to be found. How much longer was I supposed to live with this? Then, it dawned on me. I moved into my room just last night. No one asked me to, but I chose to on my own. Maybe because I wanted some time to myself and nothing more. “Now that you recall, shall we bathe you?” Snapping out of my thoughts, I looked at the maid. “Yes, but why? Isn't it too early for this?” “No,” she shook her head. “It's Saturday morning, Lady Sage. This is the day when many of us would gather in the compound and engage in activities. On most occasions, the Alpha will be there to work with us. So you need to bathe.” The sound of the Alpha brought chills to my body. A smile even came alive on my coun

    KNOX“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

    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

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   Chapter 124: Ready For A Ball

    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. Are you ready to do

    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
