BAELAI was awestruck by the way Abbadon moved during training. He moved quickly and stealthily for a werewolf; evasive, yet powerful! I wondered how he learnt to fight like that?Werewolves were usually quick and abrasive in their attack to show their dominance but his was different. He could strike without getting struck. He could inflict his maximum blow and walk away unscathed. He could do this while still not transformed! I imagined what else he could do in his werewolf form. There was still a lot I had to learn about Abbadon Dargan but this excited me rather than scare me. The stealth way he moved brought back flashes, as the mystery of what had happened in the past began to unravel in my mind...***12 DAYS PRIORI laid hidden in the spot, at the base of the mountain where my Dark Angel had rescued me and kept me. I didn't know his name, so I called him that.It was brave of him to risk his life to rescue us, after having seen the vicious giant troll that was out there to kill
BAELAI could hear the sound of the pack running towards me as I knelt on the ground crying bitterly. I had picked Lily's head off the ground and had placed it on my lap as I continued weeping for her."MY DEAR LILY! OH LILY, DO NOT LEAVE ME!" I cried. Nothing else mattered to me in the world, ONLY SHE DID. I could trade ANYTHING and ANYONE just to bring her back to life! I let my head fall on her chest as I cried, trying to take in every feel and every scent of her before her body was no more...before I had to give her up forever. It was a bitter-sweet moment recalling our last moments together - our last time alone together, our last adventure together, our last sunset together. The werewolves had finally caught up with us as their running steps stopped."Please forgive me, I am so sorry..." I whispered, as I cried on her chest. I had let my sister down, I had failed in my role as her elder sister to protect her. I shouldn't have let us go on this adventure...I shouldn't have let
BAELALast night was the worst night of my entire life!I could barely sleep, as I laid wide awake in bed alone, in the darkness of my room. I wasn't dreaming but I could see flashes of Lily at the point when she came back to save me.It brought grief to my heart. I was exhausted from crying and my head was pounding from thinking too much about her. I was in a sorry state.I caught sight of the first ray of the sun, as it filtered through the curtain of my open window after what felt like an eternity. Finally the dawn had come and the night was over but my problems were just beginning. My first thought was to see my parents. I wanted to see how they were fairing and also to ask for their forgiveness. They had cared for me last night unselfishly, despite their heavy hearts before leaving me alone so I could sleep. I could see father was trying to pull it together but mother was weaker and more vulnerable. They had to take time off from me to also express their loss of Lily together.
BAELAPRESENT DAY: ONE DAY BEFORE THE ARENA GAMES.I had been pushing the limits of my training with my father for some days now. My motivation was my parents' honour, I wanted to make them proud at the Arena games and take my rightful place as a Beta amongst the pack. I am sure after I did, I would finally earn the trust and respect of Alpha Merrick and with that my shunning would come to an end in the pack. I still hadn't been able to transform into my werewolf on my birthday today, as I turned eighteen. Naturally there were THREE WAYS for a werewolf to have the ability to transform to their werewolf form. The first two were common knowledge but the third and final one was reserved until you grew older to learn about it.The three ways of transforming into a werewolf was by (1) entering into your teenage years and gaining the ability to transform into your werewolf. (2) entering your eighteenth birthday and having the ability to transform into your werewolf and (3) transforming int
BAELAThe day I had long anticipated had arrived. I opened my eyes to see the beautiful day while Aria made magic sounds in my ears. I had instructed her to wake me up in the most blissful way imaginable. I didn't want to be late for D-Day and she didn't disappoint. It was subtle, yet wonderful as I woke up to the sounds of chirping birds close to my ears.I was high-spirited and nervous at the same time as I got out of bed. Everything I would be needing for today's Arena games were already provided by my parents. They had made a special black fitted outfit for my contest today. I chose the colour because it reminded me of Abbadon - it was his colour.Thinking of Abbadon, I knew he would be arriving soon for breakfast and I couldn't wait to see him at the castle. All I had to do now was to go have my bath and get ready to go to the second floor to have breakfast.I was done after some minutes in the bathroom and had gotten dressed, putting on my black fitted outfit and my black matchi
BAELAI could feel my heart race as I stepped into the Arena. The atmosphere was electrifying. The crowds were cheering loudly from all directions and the noise was almost deafening. It wasn't at me, because I was still being shunned. I knew it was for the other contestants but I didn't let that bother me, my mind was only fixed on the most important people I hoped to see on the stands. They were my father, mother and Abbadon.I looked in the direction of the stand where my father and mother usually sat. Father as the head of the Alpha guards was assigned to sit besides the Alpha, on his left hand side while the Prime Beta was to sit on his right hand.I spotted my father and mother where I thought they would rightly be. They were on their feet, waving their hands at me and screaming my name so loudly. I have never seen my parents so excited before in public and it brought smiles to my face. It was the first time their daughter was competing in the Arena games and they were here to s
BAELAMy whole world as I knew it had just come crashing down right in front of my eyes. I couldn't believe Alpha Merrick had just confirmed that I was not my parents' real daughter, I was not a Rossi...I was an orphan!I was in shock and totally speechless, as my tears rolled down my eyes in streams."NO ALPHA MERRICK - BAELA IS MY DAUGHTER!" Father exclaimed, trying to reclaim his ownership over me. I have never seen or heard father raise his voice back at the Alpha. He never dared before but today was different. I was on the line.I could see Alpha Merrick get up quickly from his throne to address my father. He looked surprised but his anger was not yet visible."BAELA MUST KNOW THE TRUTH OF WHO SHE IS, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!""I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED IT CAME DIRECTLY FROM YOUR LIPS AND IN PRIVATE BUT FATE HAS DECIDED. IT IS UNFORTUNATE IT CAME OUT LIKE THIS, IN PUBLIC AND FROM ANOTHER!""YOU MUST TELL HER THE TRUTH BETA LORGAN - SHE IS NOT YOUR REAL DAUGHTER, ONLY LILY EVER WAS - MAYB
BAELAI was alone with Abbadon in his house. I was standing a few inches away from him as he stared at me. I had been standing on my feet for quite a few hours now and I needed to sit down.I watched Abbadon, as he moved to the center of the room, to where the lantern was on the table, to put it off. I knew he liked the dark but I couldn't see well in the darkness."Please don't put it off!" I begged and he stopped. I needed the lantern on to see his face. "Can I sit?" I asked politely. I never asked him if I could sit before, technically it was my father's house and he was just a tenant but I needed to ask a request of him."Yes, you may have a seat". He said, pointing at the vacant seat my mother had just vacated. I did as I was told, as I sat on mom's seat. It was a 2-in-1 chair and there was still space for Abbadon to sit right next beside me."Will you come and sit beside me?" I asked, placing my left hand on the unoccupied seat beside me. I felt alone sitting on it by myself.A
PRINCESS DAENA ROSSIA few weeks had passed since I last updated you. Myself, Alpha Abbadon, Alpha King Marverick, Queen Esther, Beta's of the Aurora clan pack, werewolves of the Dark Wood Pack, werewolves from all of the 7 werewolf packs of the south had all made their way up not with me for my grand wedding with Alpha Abbadon in the north.My father; the Alpha King had taught us a safe way of crossing the Great Mésis sea and that was at night, the least favorable time for a sea journey. We had crossed with well constructed boats and it was aire enjoyable ride than the first instance we had crossed.Because of our large size, numbering into the thousands, we were at no risk of wanderers attack, instead they all avoided us as a plague. Because he had more freedom to travel during the day and night and also in our werewolf forms we spent only 2 weeks in the woods before we got to the Aurora clan pack.The city guards did not almost recognize us because of the large numbers we had retur
BAELA"You must have had a lot of time to think about the question I asked you, tell me do you have the answer now?" I asked Alpha Abbadon. I looked at him intently. One time he had fooled me in believing hw was in love with me when I had everything and when I lost it all he dumped me like I was nothing, now I had to be sure I wasn't making the same mistake twice over again."Yes Baela, I have and it has kept me awake all night". Alpha Abbadon said. As he was about speaking I heard footsteps from behind walk into the garden, it was my parents as I turned to look at them behind me. Seeing the state Alpha Abbadon and I were in, they stopped so they won't interrupt us."Like I was about saying Baela, it kept me awake all night and I can show you that I love you more than words". Alpha said reaching core my hands and holding it."I willed you to life Baela when everyone thought you were dead bit you had only faked your death and run away. I could not live with myself realizing you had kil
BAELAI walked back to Alpha Abbadon into the court and all eyes were once again upon us. Everybody was staring as I was the star of the occasion but I was not alone, I was with Alpha Abbadon which obviously had tongues talking. We had had our first dance together and had stepped out together all in their view. Something must be up between us they must suspect, although I guess it was common knowledge already.As I looked across at my parents at the distance, I could see the suitors from earlier talking with my parents. As I understood when they introduced themselves to me earlier, some of them where from the Dark Wood Pack, while some others had come from the other 7 werewolf packs in Gaiamania. Alpha's were also amongst them. I wonder if they had convinced my parents they were right for me but haven't spoken to my parents about my wishes to get married to the man I love and choose I know they won't go on my back on this one."Welcome back Princess Daena. I was just talking about y
BAELA I sat on my throne besides my parents as my father, Alpha King Marverick officially introduced me to the entire Dark wood pack as he lost but found daughter Daena Russo. All those in attendance all cheered and even those on the streets and after ward the party continued. Werewolves one after the other came to congratulate me and my parents as I sat on the throne. They also came bearing gifts, gold, sliver, diamonds, even precious clothes. I saw many fine young and charming werewolves who would give Alpha Abbadon a strong contest for my hand in marriage and they all seemed pretty interested in me because i was beautiful and the daughter of the Alpha King and Queen.My father was tired of seating down as he asked me for a dance, my first official dance with him. Luckily for me, I grew up in privilege back at home and I had dance with my parents a couple of time, so I knew how it was down. I danced so elegantly to the admiration of all watching and to my parents delights. Even A
BAELAI didn't know what to make of the whole situation as I was confused. Alpha Abbadon refused to look back at me and I thought probably he was angry with me because I mislead him. All his attention was fixed on Alpha Long Marverick and Queen Esther."I AM SORRY FOR LEARNING, YOUR DAUGHTER HAS BEEN MISSING FROM HOME FOR AGES. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, I DIDN'T KNOW BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HELP YOU"."IF YOU WOULD TRUST ME AND GIVE ME A MINUTES TO TALK TO MY PACK OUTSIDE OF THE CASTLE, I CAN GET TO THE ROOT OF THE MATTER". Alpha Abbadon said. I could now understand his behavior for not looking back at me in the heat of the moment. He didn't want to rat me out, instead he was trying to protect my identity and take the fall for it."CAN'T YOU PLEASE TELL US NOW WHO THIS PERSON IS? PLEASE, I AM DYING TO KNOW THE WHERE ABOUT OF MY MOTHER, LIKE ANY LOVING MOTHER WOULD. PLEASE HELP ME!" Queen Esther begged.I was moved by the scene in front of me with the Alpha King holding her steady on her feet
BAELAI was caught between a rock and a hard place and I had to make a decision fast. I was looking at Alpha Abbadon as he was staring at me back. "If I told you, I would sound crazy believe me". I said to him, looking away. I didn't know how to start,so I told him that instead."If you told me what exactly. I have seen alot not to think you are crazy but as crazy as whatever you are about to say it, they have usually come true, so I will believe you". Alpha Abbadon said to me.I looked up at him to be sure he wasn't just pulling my legs. He sounded and looked genuine but could I tell him about Aria before he passed the test? I don't think that is a good idea. I had to stall him at until dawn tomorrow."I know you would believe me despite how crazy or outrageous what I am about to say is but I want to make a promise to you, I'll tell you soon". "Please do not compel me to tell you now I beg". I pleaded with Alpha Abbadon. He looked at me carefully without saying a word, he must be
BAELAI made my way out of Alpha Abbadon's large room but I still had many unanswered questions running through my mind. Now was the time I needed to speak to Aria the most but unfortunately I had no privacy and could not speak to her in the open like this. Nobody would hear her voice of course but I will be seen as talking to myself in the open which wasn't a good sight. Also I didn't want to risk anyone seeing her again just the way that lady did the other night.I got into the large room housing all the Beta's, including myself and they were mostly quiet. Nobody knew what to expect and most of the Beta's were on their feet."I think you should have your seats, Alpha Abbadon is relaxed in the other room and you can go and see him anytime you want. It will definitely put your minds at ease". I said to them, as I took my seat on a chair."Tell us Beta Baela, what did he say about our stay here? When are we leaving for home?" Beta Red asked, still standing on his feet. He had a mind o
BAELAI could see the court was getting heated up. Alpha Abbadon wasn't doing anything wrong at the moment but the Alpha King Marverick was determined to frustrate andy plans he had for a peaceful resolution of things during their first meeting."I DID READ THE SIGNS CLEARLY WHILE COMING IN HERE BUT I DO NOT HAVE A DEATH WISH. BETA BAELA IS A MEMBER OF MY PACK AND SHE STAYS BY MY SIDE". Alpha Abbadon insisted, but clarified his position hoping for a descalation.It seemed it worked as the Alpha King smiled briefly before agreeing to his request."YOU MAY KEEP YOUR BETA BY YOUR SIDE THEN". Alpha King Maverick said, as he went back to seat on his throne.I was not sure if he was still pissed at Alpha Abbadon or not but for now we were walking on egg shells but were safe."I HATE TO DISAPPOINT YOU ALPHA ABBADON BUT THIS IS WHERE YOUR JOURNEY TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD ENDS"."ONLY THOSE WITH WORTHY AND MEANINGFUL GIFTS CAN SEE PRINCESS DAENA RUSSO AND UNFORTUNATELY YOU ARE WITH NONE". Alph
BAELAI walked in with Alpha Abbadon as we were escorted by the Alpha guards on our way to see the Alpha King. As I walked in, I could finally see how beautiful the inside was and I was not as scared as I had thought I would be. It was very homely, even more than the castle back at home.The ground floor was so spacious and roomy as we walked in and there were more guards waiting for us inside. At least, more than a 100 of them. I could tell why he was the Alpha King, he was heavily secured but I still wanted to meet him. Daena Russo was no were in sight at the moment and I wondered where she was and what she was doing.Was she getting ready to meet with Alpha Abbadon? Was she making herself more pretty to appeal to him even more? The thought of that made me upset and I felt like leading Alpha Abbadon out of this place at once but I couldn't do that now on my own. I needed his permission too."YOU WILL STAY HERE AND WAIT UNTIL THE ALPHA KING IS READY TO SEE YOU". The Alpha guard inst
