People trooped out of their various houses as the guards marched in the direction of the Apothecary.A loud knock landed on the door which angered Savannah.“Who the hell is that?” She screamed out before flinging the door open. She was shocked to see the number of guards standing in front of her.“What do you guys want here?” She managed to say after some moments of being stunned.“Does this paper belong to you?” Patrick asked as he stretched out his hand for Savannah's reach.Savannah grabbed the paper from him and rolled her eyes over it. Their family's signature was right at the back, so there was no way for her to deny it.She felt the content of the paper, and she became instantly alarmed.“Oh no! This was the paper I gave to Clara.” She thought within herself and instantly calmed herself down. She tried not to show her nervousness in front of the guards.“Yeah. It's mine. Any problem?” She asked the guard, desperately hiding her nervousness.“I am sorry, lady Savannah, I am afr
Lydia's heart raced as her father stood heftily in front of her. She opened her mouth to talk, but the words got stuck in get throat.“No, Dad. It's not what you think.” Lydia uttered as she rushed to Jared's side.“She is right,” Jared said, which caused Lydia's eyes to pop out in shock.“What?” Lydia was shocked by what her father had just said. She wondered if he truly meant what he said or if he was just pulling her legs.Jared sighed. He pulled Lydia closer to himself and patted her hand.“You’ve dirtied your hand with this incident already, so you have to get it clean. Also, remember that whoever wants to achieve greatness should not be held back by emotions. Sacrifices must be made, and Savannah was just unlucky to be part of the sacrifice.” He paused and threw a smile at her.“So, in your scheme, Savannah was a pawn who was sacrificed for the greater picture. This is just like a chess game, sometimes, drastic moves are made just to aim for the win.” He continued and wiped the
A man limped into the red moon pack. He was covered with blood and people rushed away from him as he approached them.“Kendrick, what's wrong?” A guard yelled as he sighted him from afar.He rushed to his side and helped him sit down under a shade.“Take me to the Alpha, I must see him now,” Kendrick replied. He was the man who was discussing with Clara the previous night before encountering Killian.“What? Do you mean Killain injured you like this? But I thought he was weakened already.” The guard said in shock, while Kendrick shook his head in pain.“I don't have much time left, take me to the Alpha as fast as you can,” Kendrick muttered weakly. He coughed hard before spitting out blood. There was no doubt that his internal organs were in a deep mess.“You will be fine, trust me.” The guard said. He carried Kendrick on his back and headed to the Alpha's throne room.“Greetings, Alpha Zayne.” He greeted, and gently placed Kendrick on a mat.“What's wrong with him?” Zayne asked with c
Five days later It was the hunting festival, kids cheered happily as they ran within the pack. The hunting festival was a major festival in the pack and was as important as the mating ceremony. It happens once every year, and it is also a great opportunity for singles to choose whom they want their mate to be, and pray towards it.“Close your eyes.” Killian smiled as he entered Sara's room.“What are you up to now?” Sara asked with a smile while Killam shrugged.“Just close your eyes, you will know very soon.” Killian insisted and Sara sighed. She dropped the cloth she was knitting and slowly closed her eyes.Killian walked towards her, dropped a box beside her, and took out a beautiful, sparkling ocean-blue gown.“Open your eyes,” Killian ordered, and Sara slowly lifted her eyelids. Her mouth dropped and her eyelids fluttered at the beauty that reflected in her eyeballs.She was dazed by the beauty of the gown, the dazzling gleam it exuded made it top-notch. Oyster shells and beads
The reflection of the arrows could be seen in Killian's eyes. He looked stunned and was at a loss for what to do.He had even forgotten that he was the almighty Killain, the alpha of the blue moon pack.Just as the arrows flew at him, a golden light shone brightly in the air, and all of the arrows dropped instantly.Killian lifted his head to take a look at his savior. A gorgeously dressed angel floated in the air before slowly landing by his side. The angel turned to him and smiled, it was his beloved mate, Sara.She stretched out her hand and helped Killain up.She had felt so uneasy where she sat, and she could feel the mate bond disturbing her endlessly and she knew something was wrong for sure.Thankfully, she had swung into action in time and was able to save Killian.Killian smiled at her and hugged her tightly.“Thanks for saving me.” He muttered and Sara smiled back at him.“It feels great, it feels great to be able to protect the person you love, and I am proud of myself.” S
Two weeks had passed since the annual hunting ceremony; Sara gently wiped the bandage that was plastered on Killian's arm.“Ouch! It hurts!” Killian uttered while Sara gave him a smirk.“Aren't you the strongest Alpha? I can't believe you will complain over such a little pain.” She wimped at him, she called one of the maids and ordered her to change the bathing water.“Yes, my Luna.” The maid gently bowed and walked out.Sara turned to Killian and smiled gently at him. “You are hungry, right? I will have the kitchen prepare you some food.” Killian placed his hand on her chin and smiled at her. An idea crossed his mind, and he never hesitated to execute it.“I prefer to eat, before eating.” He replied jokingly, and Sara furrowed her brows.“I don't get it; what do you mean by that?” Sara asked ignorantly. She adjusted her sitting position and stared into Killian's eyes.“Well, this is what I mean by that…” Killian replied and gently moved his head closer to Sara's. Just as his lips we
Killian’s heart punched hard against his chest, his face suddenly became sweaty, and his veins pulsated. He stomped his feet hard on the ground and everyone in the hall hurriedly bowed their heads.“How dare you slander the Luna? Don't you know it's a capital offense punishable by death?” Killian screamed, and the guard hurriedly went on his knees.“My Alpha, I swear by the heavens that all I said was nothing but the truth.” The guard hurriedly replied, and Killian fumed even more.“Is there any evidence to prove your claim?” Jared intuitively asked the guard, whose heartbeat could be heard by almost everyone in the hall.“A hairpin…a golden hairpin with phoenix pattern was found at the crime scene, it was the tool used by the murderer.” Killian rolled his eyes as the guard uttered the statement. He had left Sara in the toomya few minutes ago, there was no possible way she had enough time to murder the elder right away.“Where's the elders' body?” Killian fired.“It's.. it's in his ho
“My Lady, my Lady.” Violet screamed as she ran with a great speed into the house.“What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?” Sara rushed to her, and held her by her hand.“Something is wrong, my Luna, you are being framed.” Violet rushed through her speech, and Sara couldn't help but wonder what was going on.“I was framed? Framed of what?” Sara asked, while Violet struggled to catch her breath.“Elder Arnold was murdered, and the tool found at the murder scene was…” Violet paused as tears streamed down her cheeks.“What was it? Talk to me.” Sara inquired.“My Luna, it was your hairpin, the golden hairpin given to you by the Alpha.” Violet uttered, and Sara's grip slowly fell off her hand.She rushed to her wardrobe and frantically searched every corner of the wardrobe but she couldn't find the hairpin. Then it occured to her that the last time she saw it was on the hunting ground. “It must have fell of my head.” She muttered to herself.“Where's Killian? I need to talk to him.” Sara
“Did he know I added the pill? The color remained the same, and nothing about the odor changed. Oh no…did it taste different?” Various thoughts flashed through Violet's mind as she darted her eyeballs around. She suddenly began to feel so hot despite the cool breeze that blew inside.“Violet?” Killian called out, causing Violet to raise her eyes sharply at him.“I…I don't understand what you are talking about, my Alpha. I didn't add anything to the water.” Violet stuttered, rubbing her fingers against one another.“Well…” Killian paused, dropped the cup on the table and smiled.“The water felt so refreshing, and it calmed my boiling nerves. That's why I asked you the question. Don't overthink it.” He said to her calmly. Violet took a deep breath, bit her lower lip and sighed.“You can leave.” Said Sara as she dismissed Violet. She turned to Killian, looking so perplexed as she was unsure of what just happened.“What happened just now? Did she truly mix something with the water?” Sara
“My Alpha, are we going to ignore the moon priestess warnings? I am sure she said those words for no reason.” One of the elders chipped in during the council meeting with Killian.Killian sighed, brushed his hair with his hand and shook his head.“It troubles me also. I don't understand what she meant by those words she said to Sara. Or does she imply that we use Sara as a sacrifice? That can't be possible.” Another elder added after Killian took a while to respond.Killian glanced at the two elders, they were elder Maxwell and elder Keon. Both of them had opposed him violently when he wanted to ascend the throne as the alpha of the pack.It's not surprising to him if they were actually pressuring him to use Sara as a sacrifice.“I don't think that's what she meant, elder Keon. There is something you guys don't know, and I am ready to tell you now.” Killian paused to take a deep breath. He tightened his grip around his chair, realizing the weight of what he was about to say.“Sara is
“Mother, I thought you died. How have you been all these while? You’ve suffered.” Zayne cried, he placed his mother on a sofa and sat beside her.Calypso, Zayne's mother grabbed his hand, stroked it gently and smiled. Zayne had ordered the maids to clean her up and make her refreshed.In her current state, she looked nothing less than a beautiful maiden in mid-twenties.“Don't blame yourself my son. I also didn't expect to survive the huge fire. Luckily, I was saved by a young man who took me out of the pack. Probably due to the shock, I lost my memories and just regained them weeks ago.” She explained to him. Zayne brimmed widely as he listened to Calypso's talk. He nodded his head, grabbed a bottle of wine and poured some for Calypso.“I won't forgive Killian for making you pass through that. He will pay for his sins.” Zayne uttered, clenching his fists together while Calypso instantly held his hand and tightened it even more.“Yes son, you should avenge me. The red moon pack and th
“Really? You don't want to call me Zayne?” Zayned asked with a smile. He turned over to his left side so he could stare straight at Betty.“I mean…everyone calls you Zayne, I just want to be unique.” Betty hummed, she but his lower lip, wore a little frown that would make Zayne agree to her request.Zayne sighed, laid on his back while he stared blankly at the ceiling. Betty, upon seeing she got no response from Zayne stood up and placed her hand on Zayne's bare chest.“What are you thinking?” She inquired.“Vincent.” Zayne replied to her, his face was expressionless as he mentioned the name.“What?” Betty asked, her face crawling up in confusion.Zayne's emotionless expression suddenly disappeared as a warm smile formed in his lips;“Didn't you want a unique name for me? You just reminded me of my mother. She was the only one in the world that called me Vincent, she never called me Zayne. And I also remember the scar that was right on her forehead” He explained to her. Betty slowly w
“What do you think of what the moon priestess said? Her words somehow scare me?” Sara uttered as she laid on Killian's arm, gazing at the full moon, and the shining little stars.Killian tilted his head sideways, his lower lip curled up as a smile crept on his lips.“I feel like she just said that to intimidate you, she was probably joking.” Killian replied to her. Sara snorted, her brows furrowed in confusion while she pouted her lips.“It doesn't feel like that. She seemed so serious when she delivered the message, and something tells me that it's important I listen to her.” She sighed. Killian gently sat up, pulled Sara into his embrace while he slowly rubbed her hair.“Don't be afraid. I am here. I failed to protect you the last time, I assure you that nothing will happen to you again.” Killian assured her with a soft, yet firm voice. He slowly dragged his hand down her head and rested it on her belly.“Our…our child. How's it?” Killian stuttered, his head hitting hard as he dread
“Give us your blessings, moon priestess. We’ve accepted our mate bond, and thankfully, the prophecy can be reversed.” Zayne smiled at Betty as he said to the moon priestess.The moon priestess nodded her head, walked towards Betty and smiled.“Betty, right?” She inquired, slowly grabbing Betty's injured leg and applied some whitish cream on it.“Yes, moon priestess. I fell in love with Zayne at a glance, and I can say that I want to spend the rest of my life with him.” Betty replied to the moon priestess who simply nodded her head without looking at her.The moon priestess took a deep breath, and glanced at Zayne.“It's done. Her leg should be perfectly healed in three days.” She stated, packing her stuff back into the bag.“Thank you moon priestess. It's our honor to have you here.” Zayne responded, still smiling at Betty.The moon priestess looked at Betty for a while, before a worried expression formed on her face.She seemed to give off a mixture of auras, one seemed calm and rela
“My Alpha.” Three guards bowed in front of Zayne, breathing hard as they stared at each other.“What exactly happened? Just tell me.” Zayne fired, as he brows furrowed in confusion. He leaned forward on his throne, his mind reeling for answers.“It's about Sara, my Lord.” One of the guards replied to him. Zayne jumped up from the throne as if the message had a stinging effect on his butt.“What happened to her? Didn't I tell you to drop that corpse in front of the blue moon pack?” Zayne inquired as he marched towards the men. He grabbed one of them by the chin, his hot breath brushing the face of the guard.“She…she has returned to Killian's side.” The guard stuttered, bringing his head down as he avoided Zayne's fiery gaze.Zayne staggered a few steps, he curled his fingers into a fist, clenching it so hard till his sharp fingers made a cut on his palm, causing blood to drip down his hand.He bit his lower lip, turned around and slowly walked to the throne. He sat with his head burie
Sara flung around just to see two ladies standing behind her, one was dressed in black, with a dark veil tied around her face, while the other stared at her with love, and compassion.The lady clubbed in black groaned as blood gushed out of her belly, she crashed to the wet ground, her dark red blood mixing with the rain water that flowed.“My lady.” Violet ran to Sara, hugged her as tears pumped down her eyes forcefully. She wrapped her hands around her tightly as she sobbed. Sara opened her mouth, but the words couldn't get past her throat. All these while, she had thought Violet was no more, she had thought she was the cause of Violet's death, and had blamed herself for it.“I thought you were dead, I thought I wouldn't have a master to serve anymore, but thanks to heaven, you are alive.” Violet cried. Sara lifted her hand slowly and patted Violet's back, she rolled her eyes to the dying lady that groaned softly.“Violet, who is she?” Sara asked her. Violet wiped her tears, withdre
“Wait…did you hear that?” Killian suddenly stopped, walking back into the ancestral rooms as he frantically scanned the whole area.“Hear what? I didn't hear anything” Violet asked him, also darting her eyes around, wondering what Killian was talking about.“She called me, I heard her voice. I heard her voice just now.” Killian screamed, he rushed out of the ancestral house, running towards the forest that bridged the blue moon pack from the red moon pack.“Whose voice did you hear? Who the hell called you?” Violet yelled after him, confused about Killian's strange behavior.She locked the ancestral room and ran after Killian.The clouds suddenly turned dark, accompanied by some huge lightning strikes, and violent thunders as a heavy rain threatened to pour.Nevertheless, Killian kept on running deeper into the forest. He was suddenly filled with a surge of energy, that even his injured leg couldn't hold him back.“Did you hear it also?” He asked his wolf as he ran under the dark clou
