“Why would you hit her!” Ashlynn yelled at Sabrina.“Because she’s a stupid girl! And a traitor for that matter! Why the heck would she come in!” Sabrina yelled back.Ashlynn scrunched her brows up with her eyes squinted at Sabrina, her hand holding a handful of Sabrina clothes as she glared at her,“If you ever try to play pranky or play games with me, I’ll kill you first before they can get to you.”“And why would you think that? Didn’t I just help you with her now?”“It’s a warning. Depends on what you have to do with it.” Ashlynn retorted, looking straight into her eyes.She released her after a while before picking one of Arya's hands.“She’s beautiful, don’t you think?” She said with a smile edged on her face.“Of course. Just like your dead sister.” Sabrina retorted as she walked past them.Ashlynn lips curled up as she watched her walk away. Sabrina could think whatever she wanted and also add the fact that she thinks she might be smart, but no one could outrun her. Never in t
“Arghhh.” Arya groaned out as she opened her eyes slowly.She squeezed it shut again as the sun rays hit her, clenching her jaw as an immense pain coursed through her.“Hmm.” She grunted as she tried shifting from where she was sleeping.“Seems you’re awake. One thing you and your mother have in common.” Ashlynn said as she walked in.“Who are you?” Arya asked, opening her eyes as she stood up from the bed.“You should do the questioning when we all get there. It’ll save you the stress of knowing us one after the other.” Ashlynn said to her, her lips curling up as she walked out of the room.She left the door unlocked, leaving Arya inside without knowing what to do. How would her mummy be doing now? Could Zachariah have gotten there and given them the flower they needed?“Ahh..” she groaned out as she closed her eyes.Her hand moved to her head as she felt something sticky on it. She glanced through the room, a frown etched on her face as she saw baby toys all around. She caught sight
“What happened to her? Where did you see her? Did you see who took her? Whose face did you see?” Mrs jenkins asked as she continued to tear the flower apart.“I can’t say.” Zachariah replied.Since yesternight, he has been giving three words to reply, ‘I can’t say, I don’t know, she gave me’. And this continued to put Mr Jenkins on high alert.“Is there something you know that you’ll want us to know? I know you don’t really talk, but why all this now! Two lives are on the line!” He snapped out.Mrs Jenkins stopped what she was doing and rested her eyes on Zachariah, Mr Jenkins doing the same as they waited for him to say something.“There’s still nothing?” Mr. Jenkins said after a while since he didn’t talk.“The chief priestess of the Curran pack is involved and also her friend.”“Whose name is?” Mrs Jenkins asked.She knew exactly who the chief priestess of the Curran pack would be. After banning her sister and almost exiling her, she knew who would be next, the quiet girl who was t
“Calm down. Alston, calm down. It’s just us.” Mrs Jenkins said as Zachariah and her husband held him down as she tried to speak to him.“Let me go! Let me go! Where’s Arya! Where’s Arya!” He yelled out.His eyes were as wide as a beast, his chest rising and falling as he glanced through the room. His nose was flared up.“Where’s Arya!” He asked again, his eyes focused on Mrs jenkins this time.“She..she..” Mrs jenkins tried to say as he flung them all away.Standing from the bed, he picked up a shirt from the bed, putting it on immediately as he walked out of the room. Mrs jenkins stood from the floor, running after him.“I’ll come with you.” She called out.“She’s in more danger than you think.” He said as he turned back to look at her.“What were you thinking of sending her to that place! It’s dangerous! I didn’t give up the details they needed just to protect her and yet you still have three guts to send her there!” He snapped at her.“You don’t have the right to shout at her. Arya
“And to what do we owe this honor our honorable alpha that leaves his pack for almost a week and is coming back now?” Sabrina asked as she approached him.Alston eyed her before walking to where Arya was placed, noticing she had fainted out of what they’ve done to her as a growl slipped his mouth. All of them whined slowly, bowing down to him till when he stopped growling.“Who did this!” He yelled out.When no one answered, all of them looked at each other without saying anything. He clenched his jaw, gritting his teeth as he tried to bolt his anger in him.“I said, who did this!” He growled out again.“I did it your highness, and the elders were in support of it. She walked..”“And who gave you the permission to do that! The beta! My mother or who!” He growled out again.Sabrina gulped down in fear, taking some steps back away from Alston who kept on approaching her.“All the priestesses and elders would be punished greatly for this!” He shouted at all of their hearings.“And you ha
“Miss me?” Samantha asked with a growl as she walked down to meet Alston.“Find Zachariah and you’ll find Alston. I have more pending matters to deal with now.” He added.Two guards dragged ashlynn towards him as he scanned the crowd.He looked at the floor for the stabbed priestess but she has been dragged away already. All he could hope for was that nothing should happen to her.“Throw her into the deepest cell. The deepest cell where nothing can work, either her claws or powers. We’ll await the recovery of the other priestess to know what’s happening.” He said to the guards.“And I want each and every of the elders thrown into the cell, each and every of the priestess thrown into the cell.” He added as he stormed away.He walked yo where his mother was seated on, looking as brutally beaten than he could ever imagine. Yet her lips curled up as she saw him,“Get me the pack doctor!” He yelled out.“He’s treating the other woman!”Clenching his jaw, he carried her angrily and turned t
“Don’t you want to know about it? What you’ve always wanted to know all this while? Don’t you want to know about it now?” Sabrina questioned with a smirk at the corner of her lips.Alston clenched his jaw as he stared at her, wondering if he should believe her or not. His eyes focusing on her at the same time with gritted teeth,“And what would you know about it? Except you’re the killer, which I for some reason, won’t believe you.” Alston said, scanning her and every of her reactions.“You have so much faith in me, your highness.” Sabrina retorted with a small smile.“I was the one who poisoned them, not because I wished to, but because they deserved it.” She added, falling back to her butt as Alston stood there, shock evident on his face as he stared at her.All this while, all this time, he had known his parents death wasn’t natural and someone had to be behind it, almost saying it with the priestess when the killer was right amongst them, sitting there and acting as their leader.
“Where’s.. wheres.. the alpha.. I.. I..need..” the priestess stuttered, mustering all her energy to say the words that came out of her mouth.“I’ll advise you to save the energy for when he gets back and rest well now. A whole lot of things are happening in this pack that we don’t know yet.” The pack doctor replied, walking away from her as he rolled his eyes.The priestess raised her hand, trying to call him back but he was long gone.•••••••••Zachariah continued to delve into the forest, following the scent of Alston he had for himself to trace him. His pace increased as he felt himself closing in on him, not minding the paths he passed through as he kept jumping on each of the branches.He saw Alston wolf from afar, standing all alone and lonely at the poisoned river. He reduced his pace, walking to him slowly with fear thumping on his heart.“Your highness.” He called out as he shifted to his human form.Alston did not bother to reply to him even though he heard him, staring deep
