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
BAELAA lot had happened over the past day, I had both good news and bad news. The good news first; Mother had won at the Arena games yesterday despite her heavy heart! She fought really hard but succeeded in reclaiming her position as a Beta. The other good news was about Anne. She had lost her next fight after me in the Arena! I was glad she couldn't cheat her way through that fight but that was where the good news ended.Officially I had ceased to be called a Rossi. Alpha Merrick had had me stripped off my adoptive parents surname and without it I was a nobody. He had done that after the Arena games and had sent me packing from the castle. Father tried as hard as he could but failed in his attempts to convince the Alpha to let me keep his name and be his daughter. I had seen the look of defeat on father's face after mother's victory had been revealed to me after they returned from the Arena but Father was angry.He swore to me by the moon goddess that had brought him to me that
BAELAI was scared now for Beta Abbadon. I watched on anxiously as he fought with Beta Warg. I was not scared about the outcome of his fight with Beta Warg - it was still non-lethal combat. I was rather scared of his ambition.I knew he could win and it was looking certain like he would win. If he did win, would he call it quits or would he let his ambition drive him as far as challenging the Alpha? I was scared for my sake too. Abbadon and I had plans to get married today. Whatever fate befell him would also befall me too. I had been told stories of 4 Prime Beta's who had dared to challenge Alpha Merrick on 4 different occasions. All 4 of them ended in tragedy, they all lost to Alpha Merrick and he did not show them any mercy. The merciful thing was to banish them and their entire families from the pack for their treasonable acts but they were not shown any mercy. They were all killed instead as a public spectacle by Alpha Merrick, so the entire pack could witness his power and hi
BAELAIt was approaching twilight and the excitement of the cheering crowds filled the stands of the Arena. I was more than tensed inside of me, as it showed in the sweats that formed on my forehead. I could barely watch the fight, for I knew who was fighting in the Arena for his dear life - it was my dearest Abbadon Dargan! Abbadon had commenced his life or death challenge of the Alpha - a fight I had only heard about in stories I was told but now I could witness it myself.I had forced myself to open my eyes and watch a few times when I heard the loud cries of the crowd...it meant something dramatic had happened in the Arena. I was anxious to see if anything bad had happened to my Abbadon...if he was still alive and to my great joy he was still! The last scene I could capture of Abbadon before I lacked the courage to look again, was of him transforming in the Arena. He was transforming rapidly between his werewolf form and his human form in split seconds, in order to get away fro
BAELA I had been waiting outside the castle for more than 30 minutes, seeking to see the face of Alpha Abbadon. I had not been allowed in as expected as an Omega but I had my message sent in. I knew I had to be patient if I wanted to speak to Alpha Abbadon or if I wanted our wedding to be held tonight. It was just past sunset and we still had a few more hours before it could no longer be done tonight but I was hopeful it would be done tonight.Alpha Abbadon had left me quite worried during this evening, he had left the Arena straight away after his big announcement and it felt like he was ignoring me. I could have ran and caught up with him but I knew his Beta werewolves would have stopped me from talking to him. He now was the Alpha and I had to know my place.I was fortunate my father and mother had decided to wait behind in the Arena to speak to me. They were supposed to be with the rest of the Beta's guarding the Alpha but they knew how important this night was for me. They caug
BAELAI could barely sleep on the uncomfortable bed I had been assigned as I laid wide awake on it. Not that the comfort of the bed really mattered that much tonight, I would still not have been able to fall asleep had I slept on my comfortable bed in the castle. You see the problem really was with my mind and heart. My mind was fixed at the castle and my heart was heavy, I could only think of one person all through the night - Alpha Abbadon!In my solitude, I had Aria to keep me company. She sang one of her soothing melodies to me, to soothe my aching soul. I appreciated it so much, it worked like magic and kept me sane throughout the night. I hadn't had the time to keep her company of late, the events of my life had been moving so rapidly like the swift currents of a white water.I got out of my bed at first light as I ran out anxiously in hopes to see my father or a messenger from him but there was nobody. Father had not come bearing good news as I had hoped, it meant he still ha
BAELAI was being dragged along the moist grounds of the fields by two Beta werewolves behind Alpha Abbadon. It was by his order I was being dragged. I was his slave, to weak to walk, stricken by shock and grief. I had been a fool to think ours was love at first sight...I had been a fool to believe he ever truly loved me, someone I barely knew! Now he had rejected me, I didn't know what fate I had in-store. I arrived at the Arena grounds with mud all over my boots and clothes, as I was let go."I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE RIDE? - NOW YOU CAN STAND AND WALK ON YOUR FEET". Abbadon said, looking back at me. I swear I could feel his spite for me as he stared at me. I wondered why he hated me so much but whatever reason it was, I was beginning to despise him with everything in me!"COME WITH ME MY SLAVE, I HAVE A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!" He ordered as he climbed the stand, leading up to his throne. I didn't quite feel like obeying him as I remained standing on the spot but I was shoved fro
BAELA I was escorted back to the city as instructed by Alpha Abbadon. It was by an Alpha guard - he was Beta Oliver. Beta Oliver was no stranger to me, he had served in the Alpha guard's for years beside my father and he was one of the few Alpha guards that didn't despise me so much. Maybe that was why my father was comfortable picking him as the one to lead me back to the castle. He walked a few feet ahead of me, giving me the comfort to walk on my own without feeling watched. I had no intention of running away and I think he knew. He probably also figured if I tried to run away I won't go far on my two legs when he could easily transform into his werewolf and catch up with me. We walked in silence for most part of the journey until we were almost at the castle and then he started to whistle. He was playing a tune I knew so well and he was good at it. It felt almost as good as Aria's and I was slightly impressed. He suddenly turned without warning and caught me staring at him.
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
