SAGE

In a very dark space, I ran for my life like it was my last moment on the face of the earth.

Running faster, and faster than I could ever imagine, my legs stopped when my eyes sighted a safe place.

“No—” the word ran out as I struggled to hold myself back from breathing hard.

“Come out of your hiding place already!” Someone. A man, at the top of his voice, shouted.

“Come out already. You don't deserve to live in case you don't know. Where are you, Silver?!”

I could hear his footsteps closer to my spot, and I spent the next moment thinking of something.

Anything at all.

Anything I could do to run out of this.

There was none.

Unfortunately for me, the tree branch I held as support all this while, fell to the ground—giving whoever it was that chased after me, a signal of where I was.

When he reached for me, my eyes opened.

“My goodness—” sitting up, I held my chest.

What was that about? Looking around the room, I realized I was safe and my husband was next to me on the be

    SAGE“Good morning, Sage. How was your night?” I was still standing when he caught up with a couch in the space, smiling as he looked up at me. “Take a seat. Come on. I'm hoping that you had a good night's rest.” “Yes, my lord,” I sounded, settling on the couch again. “Aella, the maid said you sent for me.” Snapping his fingers, he looked in another direction. “Give me some time to be organized, Sage.” He mouthed, still looking in the other direction. “Get all the maids for me. And be fast about it.” Were his words to a guard who ran to his side at the snap of his fingers. “Yes, my lord,” the guard mouthed and walked away. Alpha Knox, once again, looked in my direction. Silence ruled the room while I tried so hard to ignore his face. It was a hard feat but I tried my best, holding my breath at some point as I waited for the maids to show up. But why? Did something happen? Did I do something? One by one, women in maid's uniforms walked into the space. With smiles on their fac

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   FIFTEEN: GREED. WANT

    ELEANOR I hated everything. Especially the fact that I could miss an opportunity as good as this. What the hell happened?!Ever since we got back from The Darkfangs Pack, I had kept to myself, avoiding activities I used to engage in even before the wedding came up. What would they have me do? Pretend everything was alright when it wasn't? I wanted a piece of that man. The handsome Prince. A man I never expected to be that handsome. As a matter of fact, I waited in the hall, looking forward to the very moment an ugly man would walk in. This way, I'd add more to the humiliation I had caused my half-sister. But no, Aegon was not only the Prince of The Darkfangs Pack, he was also handsome. He was handsome!How was that even possible?!Who set me up?! Why would rumors be claiming he was ugly when he wasn't? Sitting up on the bed as I had just woken up from my sleep, I couldn't help but think. This was another day to throw tantrums and avoid everyone in the pack. I want to be the w

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   SIXTEEN: IF WISHES WERE HORSES

    ELEANOR Heading downstairs, my thoughts raced as I wondered what it could be that Father wanted. Was I about to be punished? Where were Alistair and Regan? Looking to my right and left, I looked forward, centering my thoughts on the reason I had been called by my parents. In a short while, I caught up with the Pack's living room. The Alpha and Luna were seated on the same couch, moping at me while I wondered what the matter could be. “Good morning, Father. Good morning, Mother,” with a bow, I greeted before walking closer. “Regan said you sent for me. And this is why I have come.” Father gave a nod. He looked at Mother before facing me. “Take a seat, Eleanor—” he urged. “One of your brothers came to speak with me about an hour ago and it has to do with you. He says you've not been eating well since we got back from The Darkfangs Pack. How true is that piece of information?” Didn't he know? Why was I surprised? He loves me more than he does Sage but didn't pay attention to

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   SEVENTEEN: A TEST

    SAGEIn the large kitchen, I stood at the center—with Aella who was by my side and waiting for an instruction. Confused, I looked at her. “Am I supposed to cook something special? Or is it anything that comes to mind?” “Yes, Lady Sage.” “Yes, what? Aella.” “Anything at all,” she explained. “I'm here to attend to all of your needs. There's a CC camera installed everywhere in the house so the Alpha and the elders will check to know if it was you who made the meal or your maid. People have made this mistake a lot in the past and they end up getting punished.” I heaved a sigh. I knew that already. But what I didn't know was what to cook. My family didn't let me go near the kitchen all my life during my stay in the pack with them. How then was I supposed to know how to cook? I moped at the table and then looked around. “What do you think I should cook, Aella? I'm as confused as a mad woman. I don't know what I'm supposed to do.” She walked closer. “Maybe soup,” she sounded, a

    KNOXI wasn't expecting that. “This is—” Looking up from the table where myself and some other men, including Aegon, were seated, I nodded. “Lady Sage, this is the best of all yams I've ever tasted. How did you come up with this recipe?” The look on her face went from worse to better. It looked like she was relieved to hear me say that. “I—” mouthing, she looked at the rest of the royals seated with me. They were all nodding, giving praises of her meal. “Thank you.”“You have nothing at all to worry about,” I assured. “This is more than enough proof that you'll take care of the Prince. You have done more than a good job if you ask me. Well done, Lady Sage.”Saying this, I looked across the table. “Does anyone of you have issues with the meal? You may speak to the woman already. ‘Cause I am done with speaking.” “How can we have something to say, my lord?” The man sitting right next to me asked. “If we must have something to say, then it'll be nothing more or less than the fact t

    KNOX Initially, I was uninterested in what he had to say. For all that I knew, I no longer had a business with him until there was an issue regarding his daughter. “What is it about?” Again, I asked when silence ruled our dialogue. Didn't he say he had something to say, or did I not hear him correctly? “Alpha Arden. Are you there?” “Y—yes, Knox. I am here. I wanted us to talk but as you know, meetings like this cannot be held over the phone. We need to sit down and talk about it.”A sigh ran out of my mouth. A meeting like this was something I was avoiding. How could he want us to see him again? And there was no way I would let him come to my pack without organizing the wolves so he didn't suspect the curse. What was I supposed to do? “Are you there—?”“Yes, Alpha Arden,” I let out. “You should come over, then. I am currently unwell and cannot drive all day to come over to your Pack. I believe you should make it to this pack if it's that urgent or don't you think so?” “I kno

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   TWENTY: MEET AGAIN.

    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

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   131: Come With Me

    KNOXAgain, I repeated. “Come with me, Sage.” But she was shaking her head and I didn't understand the concept behind that. Was she trying to refuse me?Definitely not. “No—” the word then ran out of her mouth. No what?What was she trying to say to me? Was she even talking to me? Was this her one way of refusing me? A sigh ran out of my mouth. Now, it was my turn to shake my head and I let out. “Can you listen to me, Sage? This is not a request. I'm ordering you to come back to the Pack with me. I'm not leaving here without you in case you don't know.” “No—” stubbornly, Sage shook her head. There was no frustration more than this. Wasn't it enough what we had gone through for the day? A sigh ran out of my mouth as I moped at the stubborn woman who looked like she was not scared of the wild. How could she be? “Sage. You cannot ignore me. You know this.” “I can't go back with you, Alpha Knox. You of all people should know this. You of all people should know why I cannot an

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   CHAPTER 130: Chase After Her

    SAGEInto the woods, I ran. Not only did I run, I was shedding tears. So many thoughts ran around in my head as I approached nowhere in particular. I didn't know where I was going but one thing I knew was that I wished to be gone from the sight of the wolves—especially Eleanor who caused all of these. How could she be so wicked? One part of me wished I didn't throw the collar away. What sort of mistake have I made? More tears streamed down my face and I stopped running, turning back to see how far I had run from The Darkfangs Pack and its members. Falling on the grassy land, I shed more tears. How could Eleanor be so wicked? What happened to remembering to keep the family's name? What has she done? Could she have been such a selfish woman? I stopped crying and wiped my face with my hand before resuming again. In the presence of so many people, she had brought shame to not just me but the rest of the members of my family. A part of me could not blame her. If not for anyth

  • THE SILVER HEAD LUNA; WHEN HER WOLF HOWLS   129: ANOTHER TRUTH.

    ELEANOR The door shut again. No one walked out and from the look of things, no one planned to leave the hall. Studying the faces of the wolves in the hall, I could see nothing but shock on their countenance. “It's the truth—” I mouthed, ashamed already—if not because of anything, but for how they moped at me as though I had committed an offense even when I did not. Suddenly, voices filled the hall. Wolves turned to face each other, leaving me out of the picture. A smile, finally, appeared on my countenance as I thought about how much good or maybe bad I had done on a special day like this. A day that was meant to be one for the Alpha who had walked out a while ago. This was a moment I waited for all my life. How could I not cherish it? The smile faded and I went into my thoughts, completely ignoring the wolves who spoke to each other in loud voices. “How can this be?” Someone asked. “Silver Wolf. How could we have one amongst us all these while?” In disgust, another wolf crie

    ELEANOR A smile came alive on my countenance. This was what I looked forward to all my life. How could I not make good use of it? “What?” Again, the fool asked and I turned to face the crowd, facing her before walking farther so that I could stop her from running when she thought about it. “There's something you should know, Sage. A lot you probably don't and wouldn't know about.” “Wh—what are you talking about?” I didn't speak but kept smiling. “What are you talking about?!” Her tone increased. “Eleanor, you of all people should know that I don't have all the time in the world. Our family is going to be embarrassed if Silver comes to live completely and you know I don't have the collar. It's not with me.” “Why should I care about the family's reputation when I can use this to my advantage?” I asked the fool before facing the crowd. The timing was perfect. The potion worked and brought Silver back on this same day because if it had been done so days before, Sage would not hav

    SAGE “Oh, no.” The words ran out of my mind as I looked around, wondering what I would do. Again, I looked at the window closest to me when I realized there was nothing wrong with my eyes anymore. Was this a joke? I didn't take off my gaze for long but moped on until I was certain I might have been imagining these things. What the fuck was wrong with me? Nothing. Nothing was wrong with me because Silver did not wake up and this could only be a reaction to Knox who stared so hard at me a while ago. This was one of the reasons I avoided him and didn't want to stay close because of the reaction my system gets when stares are exchanged. Instead of looking around like I always wanted to do, I moped at the space around me before catching up with a table. A table not so far from Aegon's—how didn't I know? I looked around once again for another spot and there was nothing like that—wouldn't be either. Not when other wolves had settled down on the other tables and if I didn't mind stayin

    SAGEFinally, the most awaited day came to life. With a smile on my countenance, I looked forward to spending some time with the people of the pack. Maybe more because the Alpha was known around the world of Werewolves and could invite others who could not refuse. A knock on the door cut short my thoughts. I looked to my left and moved farther from the mirror, snapping my fingers as I watched the door open. “Good morning, Aella. Did you sleep well last night?” She walked in, all smiles. “Good morning, Lady Sage. I slept more than well. I have come to get you ready for the ball. Do you know you'll be the most beautiful by the time I am done with getting you ready?” A chuckle ran out of my mouth. Indeed, I could not wait to look good. A part of me could not wait for the big day that was today so I walked to the closet and took out the outfit we selected the other time for the purpose of this big event. “I'll go with this—” I dropped one hangar on the bed. “Decisions have been ma

    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
