Problem

Blaire's Pov

From the moment Indrik had brought that woman into our pack, I had known that nothing could come of it except bad news. This became a reality when she suddenly started to shout in the middle of the night, shattering my face relaxation routine. I would have ignored her if not for the reference she made to Indrik. As it was, I cursed as I dashed to my room.

She continued to wail until I pushed the door open after which she stopped abruptly. She had been standing over Indrik in the dim glow of the oil lamp. She turned toward me with what seemed like a smirk on her lip.

"You are just in time." My eyebrows arched as I noticed that she was definitely smiling.

"What is going on?" I scowled, wondering what kind of craziness she was trying to work up.

"I don't know! Why don't you come and see?" She turned and the color drained from my face as I saw what lay on the bed behind her.

"No! No! No!" I muttered as I rushed toward the bed hoping with every fiber of my being that I was wrong about what I was seeing. Arriving at the bed, I found that things were even worse than I had thought. At first glance, Indrik seemed to be lying on the bed in deep sleep. I had almost turned to her with a hiss and a slap for disturbing my peace in the middle of the night. I mean, my face was still extra brown with the honey paste that I had applied on it. This thought soon faded away as I realized that all was not as it seemed. Indrik was pale, paler than he ought to look in the lighting. I frowned as I reached out to touch his forehead. I pulled away immediately with a hiss of pain as I stared down at him in shock. His temperature was searing hot. Hotter than a body should ever be. It might have been my imagination but I thought I could see rings of smoke curling off his body.

"What did you do to him?" I growled turning toward his maid, ready to pounce and rip her into a million tiny pieces.

Her smile unnerved me as she shrugged. "Not me! The poison."

The world around me took a violent spin and I collapsed to the bed to maintain my balance. "What are you talking about?" I asked weakly, my hand suddenly seeming to heat up more.

"Do you really think that is wise?" She questioned, gesturing toward Indrik who had awakened and was now squirming on the bed as he moaned in pain. "As you can see, he doesn't have much time. You can choose to stay here and question me, which I should say would not yield any result or you can go out there and get some help. Your choice!"

The way she said it enraged me but it also informed me that she wasn't joking. Indrik was going to die if I didn't do something. "You will pay for this!" I cried as I hurried past her.

"Whatever!" She laughed. "You had better hurry up though or there would be no Indrik to come back to."

My heart boiled with rage as I wished that I could beat her till she was in as much pain as Indrik was but something about the way Indrik started to spasm violently told me that he wouldn't care about vengeance if he was dead. My first port of call was the room of the two boys but for whatever reason, none of them were in. I should have realized this when none of them came running to the rescue when that woman called. That woman! My heart boiled with rage, fear and pain as I raced toward the main palace. What had Indrik done to himself? Why did he even bring her here? I had tried asking him a couple of times but he always found a way of evading my question.

"Help!" I cried, the moment I reached the huge doors. Two guards appeared before me, staring down at me as they waited to know what is wrong. "I need help!" I croaked, feeling useless as I wondered what she was doing to Indrik right now. Was she torturing him even more? "Indrik is dying. Please! Get help!" I muttered, pounding them on the chests without thinking.

Luckily, they got the message as one of them ran in and the other went with me. "Please! Go call the doctor. Tell him...poison...in danger...hurry!" I managed to say and watched him hurry off with brimming eyes before I returned to the room which seemed to be heavy with death.

The maid still stood over Indrik, watching him intently like she didn't want to miss the moment of his death. Bile rose to my throat as I moved over and shoved her as hard as I could, sending her stumbling to the ground.

"What kind of poison did you feed him?" I asked, hoping to have enough information about what had happened before the doctor arrived.

"Poison? What are you talking about?" She teased from her position on the ground. I clenched my fists as I took another look at Indrik. His skin was growing whiter by the second and his face seemed to have aged by twenty years. To even look at him felt like a hot iron rod placed on my chest that was puncturing my skin, slowly but surely burning a path to my heart.

"You!" I growled as I started to stomp toward her, ready to beat the truth out of her if need be.

"What is going on here? My heart soared as Beta Green and my mother showed up at the door. They were just in time because I was really starting to run out of ideas on how to deal with this problem of a maid.

    Luna's PovThe palace was thrown into chaos as people milled to and fro, trying to find a solution to the problem. For a while, nobody paid me any attention as they fussed over the weakling who they would rather throw into prison to die of starvation than fulfill his life's dream. I rolled my eyes, irritated by the hypocrisy of these people. Indrik had started to foam at the mouth when they decided to take him out of the room. They gave him honey, tried other herbal mixtures that they could work up but nothing worked. I sneered as I watched all their attempts that were bound to end up in failure. Finally, Blaire seemed to remember me as she turned toward me, her eyes burning with hatred. "What have you done to him?" She growled. Silence settled in the room as everyone else turned toward me as though just realizing that the maid should know what happened to her master. "Who? Me?" I asked, feigning the best incredulous look I could manage as I placed a hand on my chest. "Young girl

    Blaire's PovI watched with bated breath as the Pack’s physician ran tests on Indrik. He checked his eyes, his tongue, his lips and a host of other places. He mumbled something under his breath as he repeated the tests. By the time he looked up, his eyes were wide with terror. "That girl!" He muttered through gritted teeth. "Can he be treated?" Beta Green asked, stepping forward. His body seemed to sag and his voice was weary from all that was going on. The physician shook his head. "The girl chose her poison well. This is Voldemort's root." I stared at him blankly, not understanding what that meant but obviously, the Beta understood and so did my mother as they gasped in disbelief. "What?" My mother gasped. "But that is impossible. Where could she possibly have gotten it?"The physician bowed his head. "From me. She asked me about it this morning when she came to get his medicine. I had totally forgotten about that till now."Silence reigned for a moment before mother spoke again

    Blaire's PovI wanted to scream, and cry, and curse. And maybe throw some punches as I watched Indrik, spasming and muttering gibberish, head shaking from one side to the other, green blood now pouring more and more from his mouth and his nose? My heart stopped for a moment as even in the pale light of the moon, I could see his color draining away as his life slipped out of his grasp. The world spun cruelly as I looked from the doctor to Beta Green, to my mum, to the Zeta, to some other faces that my eyes were too blurry to let me notice. I could see the sad look on all their faces but I could not shake the thought that it was all hypocritical after all, if they really did care, they would not hesitate to help him. If only I could help, I would have gladly did but I had stupidly spent all my life before mirrors and brushes and now, I couldn't even save a drunken deer without being crushed into mashed up pieces. My eyes stung as the air stung with what felt like death. I couldn't shak

    Luna's PovMy eyes burned as red liquid spurted into my eyes. My head throbbed, my wrists and ankles burned as the coarse ropes bored into them, wound so tightly that they sliced into my skin, shredding it like meat in a grinder. My arms and legs were spread so far apart that my joints creaked with annoyance, each threatening to break away from my body under the strain. My back felt like a colony of fire ants had been let loose on it, each one digging its head into my skin and taking a good sized chunk out of my skin. I wondered if the guards would consider loosening one of my arms long enough for me to reach to my back and scratch the itch that was threatening to drive me crazy although something told me I wouldn't enjoy it very much. "Have you had enough?" One of the guards asked. My chest felt like I had drank a mouthful of oil and followed it up with some fire. My chest beat painfully against my thorax and my stomach felt like it had had all its contents pulled out and smoked on

    Luna's PovSo far, I had been doing a pretty good job enduring the pain and getting on the nerves of my torturers but now, looking down at this blade, I wasn't sure I could keep up the front anymore. I swallowed as I breathed in deeply. "It is just a blade. It is nothing you can't take." I whispered to myself. The man laughed loudly as he turned to his comrade, "can you believe this? She is begging for mercy. Too bad. I expected her to go down with a smile but then again, no one escapes the great Baldwin without being broken." He thumped his chest so hard, I was afraid he was going to end up broken before me. I wondered if his name was a title or his parents had had some insight into his future to have given him such a fitting name. The thought was enough to brighten my mood as I started to smile and suddenly, the knife was not so scary. I thought about Indrik who was probably in his death throes, struggling with the poison that I had fed him and shook my head. What kind of master w

    Blaire's Pov"Where have you been?" I spat as I came face to face with Jamil and Ulo. The two were dressed in black robes and had their swords around their waists. In the moonlight, I could notice strands of undergrowth clinging stubbornly to their robes. The two exchanged glances before turning to me. "What's going on?" Jamil asked, looking over his shoulder at the circle that was gathered a few feet away. Following his gaze, I frowned as I realized that the bed was gone and so was the doctor. I hurried over but all I saw were a group of guards huddled in a circle, no doubt discussing what had just happened. "Where is he?" I growled. The group looked at me like I was a stray before one of them replied nonchalantly, "the doctor has had him taken somewhere else."My head spun as I wondered how long I had remained on my knees, uttering a stupid prayer while the person I was so worried about had been taken away. He could have died for all I knew and I didn't know anything about it. T

    Ulo's PovListening to Blaire tell us about how Indrik had been poisoned by his maid, my fists clenched as I bubbled with murderous intent. I had never liked that girl and now, she had just crossed the line by threatening the life of my friend. Listening to Jamil trying to defend her only served to increase my anger till I was practically steaming at the nose. Before I could bring myself to speak, thunder suddenly rumbled and rain started to fall. I would have been amazed if I wasn't so furious because we hadn't had rain in a while. As it continued to rain though, I started to notice something. The rain wasn't normal by any standard. Each drop that landed on my head, on my shoulders, on my feet, felt as hard as a stone although it didn't hurt. Stretching out my arm, I caught a drop in my hand and examined it in the moonlight. Like I had suspected, it wasn't a raindrop, instead, the tiny things that fell from the sky were more like pellets, diamond sized pellets. I would have dismisse

    Blaire's PovI sat in Indrik's room, my hands tucked under my cheeks on his bed as I stared at him mesmerized by his sleeping figure. Sunlight streamed into the room, making him look even more amazing. I sighed dreamily as I watched his chest heave slowly accompanied by his soft snoring. He had been asleep for three days and his complexion was still pale from what he had gone through at the hands of his maid yet, he still managed a heart stopping beautiful look. His long black hair framed his face perfectly like he had been tending to it all these days, (which I might have been responsible for), his eyes were closed but they looked just as pretty as they were when open, his nose, a work of art that was honed to a point so sharp, it could cut you if you were not careful enough, his full pink lips that always seemed to be calling for a taste, his cheeks that were neither too plump, nor too thin, his perfect ears, his square jaw that always pulsed with power, even now, with ridiculous s

    Luna"What have you done? How could you let this happen? The greatest evil has been born! Pain, death, destruction like never before has just been unleashed because of you. The world will never be the same. You shall atone for your sins. Begone! And I shall never see your face again nor you, mine until you have made everything right." I shuddered at the memory. My memories from the...that time were becoming fuzzier the longer time passed but somehow, that memory never faded. I could not remember the face of the person who had spoken. Not even where the person had spoken but I could never forget the words nor the panic, pain and sorrow that had filled me and even now still pulsed in every single vein in my body. Looking down at Indrik as he stabbed at his food, I wondered if all that was happening was indeed my fault. Maybe I really deserved to be here. Even worse, I wondered if I did not deserve to be here, being the recipient of his gratitude like I was some saviour when I was infa

    Indrik"You would never be more than a bottom feeder." The words would not stop ringing in my ears, burning into my brain with searing heat. I clasped my hands over my ears and screamed, tears gushing down my face. A group of people walked past me staring at me like I was crazy but I couldn't care any less. What was I thinking? I would never be more than a disappointment, an Alpha's son who was born without a wolf. To think that I had thought that getting a master and having her unlock my wolf would change my fate. I laughed drily. Just how much more stupid could I be? I would never be more than a failure however hard I tried. Another group of people walked past me and though my senses were too clouded for me to see their expressions, I knew instinctively that they were sniggering at the miserable me. I had left the palace behind and was now wandering through the meandering streets of the pack, hardly aware of where I was going. Every so often, I ran into someone who hissed at me to

    IndrikBeta Green fixed me with a cold stare that caused my smiles to wilt as I was consumed with a premonition that he was about to deliver a very bad news. "What did you just say?" He asked the question like I had just suggested that we pull down the palace and build a cattle shed in its place. I wasn't going to be so easily discouraged though. It had taken me so much time, effort and sacrifices to get here. I wasn't about to be forced to give up by a tone, however cold it might sound. "I said...""I know what you said!" He snapped in irritation. "I was hoping you wouldn't repeat it so I wouldn't have had to tell you this but it is obvious that you are still so young and naive. Perhaps, I ought to enlighten you."My heart sank to the bottom of my stomach as every muscle in my body strained to run, to avoid the verdict he was about to pass. But at the end, I had to stop and listen to what he had to say even if everything within me warned me that I would not like it. He smiled warm

    IndrikMessage or not, I decided that my thoughts were going to drive me crazy if I didn't snap out of them so I did just that. I pushed away from the window and got out of bed. Looking around the slowly lightening room, I was rather disappointed to find that Luna was not in the room. I had been hoping to be able to have a word or two with her. I decided I couldn't wait and made my way to her room only to get the same result. The unmade state of her bed hinted that she had left the room in a hurry, (what else was new?) which meant I couldn't expect to see her for a while.I paced around for a while, the memories still haunting me until I finally got the ingenious idea to go to an old friend of mine. Now, when I mention friend, you might think I am referring to a childhood friend that I had forgotten about but no, I can count the number of friends I have on a single hand. By friend, I meant the library, one of the many places I used to visit in a bid to both lose and discover myself in

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    What Will You Do?

    IndrikDo powers cause nightmares? I highly doubt that or Blaire would have spent every other day screaming from her sleep. Or perhaps, they were just signs of my body getting used to its new heightened senses. Again, I doubted that. Those dreams had looked and felt very real. Like something that had happened, or worse, something that was about to happen. I placed an arm under my jaw as I tried to recall my dream. The mere thought of relieving that nightmare scared the marrows out of me but I decided that I had to face it to know what the problem really was. In my dream, I had seemed to be watching the pack from the hill that was just behind the royal training grounds. Once upon a time, that had been my favorite spot for hanging out. In my dream, or was it a nightmare? The scenery had rolled out before me in the same way it had the last time I had been there. There had been the palace to the one side closed off with high enough walls as to prevent me from seeing past them. Then ther

    VeronicaPain did not seem like the right term for what I was feeling right now. Every single bone in my upper body seemed to have been pummelled to powder leaving me paralyzed. Yet, hearing Indrik's voice energized me as I tried my best to open my eyes. My body protested against the effort as my head started to pound. I shut my eyes again before I could focus on the person standing above me. Everywhere seemed to have gone pitch dark. I could have sworn that there was still some light when that bitch had shoved me to my back. "Oh, Indrik! Look at what she has done to me. You have to make her pay." I whimpered as I tried to open my eyes again without success. My eyes seemed to have filled up with my own blood which was not a very fun experience. "The nerve of this bitch. Let me go. I am not done with her." That was Blaire's voice. I wondered if Indrik was the one holding her back. No, that was wrong. He should be helping me, not her. For the umpteenth time, I tried to open my eyes ag

    Veronica"A maid?" I exclaimed as I made my way out of the room, trying my best to staunch the tears that would not stop pouring. Indrik was really going to replace me with a maid? I, the heiress of the Light Crest Claws Pack was really going to be replaced by a maid. I chuckled. Of course not. There had to be a mistake of sorts. He was probably just teasing me. Trying to make me want him more by showing that he had other options. That had to be it. I straightened my shoulders already starting to feel better. Outside, I ran into Blaire who turned up her nose making me want to smash it in. "I'm guessing you've seen him? How was your meeting?" She asked, a mocking sneer on her face. The temptation to hit her hard enough to send her sinking straight down to Hades grew stronger. "It went very well, thank you." I muttered, forcing a smile to my hurting cheeks. I hoped that my eyes had cleared enough as to not let her see any evidence that I had been crying. That, would be very humiliati

    IndrikFor someone who had had to give up on a lot of things, among which were my respect as the first son of the Alpha, my place as a wolf, my place as an elder brother to mention just a little, I wasn't exactly enamoured by someone who did not know the right time to give up. I know all about the difference between love and obsession and I was willing to bet my least favorite robe that this woman was becoming obsessed. I hated obsession. And besides, there was that other matter. I had barely stepped into our quarters when her unmistakable fragrance wafted over the air to me. You could never miss the mix of flagrant spices which I loved when they were used in appropriate proportions. Rosewater, Lavender, among other scents that I couldn't place. Seriously? Now, I didn't know all that much about female rituals but I was pretty certain there were some rules about mixing these scents. This was clearly a total violation of all of those rules. I tried not to think of my room continuing to

    IndrikI just had the best day of my life! That was something I knew without a doubt. Sure, I was super hungry, and every single muscle in my body ached but within my sternum, my heart raced with the enough euphoria to equal that of a man who had just finished a whole barrel of good beer. No, don't ask me if I drink. I don't. I gave up after drinking one glass once and waking up at the edge of the river and my pants might have been wet as well. Some of us are just too pure to be found drinking such unseemly things, I guess. No! I'm not trying to make my weakness seem like a virtue. What am I saying? It isn't a weakness. You know what? Forget I mentioned it. I was finally fulfilling my lifelong dream and nothing could stop me. It could be my imagination but I could already feel myself growing stronger by the day. Despite all of these, I still needed to eat though if I did not want to pass out with exhaustion which was why I was glad when Luna made a beeline for the kitchen as soon as w
