Dear Readers, kindly gift my book GEMS. Also leave a comment, I would Love it. Thanks!
BAELAI was back in camp but in low spirits as we got ready to leave again. Beta Oliver was the first to spot me as I made my way back behind Alpha Abbadon separated by some meters. I could tell he looked worried for me and he was right to be, I wasn't feeling alright.I avoided making eye contact with Alpha Abbadon as I walked past him quietly. I regretted ever believing anything positive could happen between us after all he had done to me and was now putting me through. I walked slowly as I made my way back to my line.Beta Oliver once again was right beside me. He didn't say a word to me but his look was all telling. I could sense he believed something must have transpired between Alpha Abbadon and I when we were alone. We remained in our silent state although the silence rule wasn't yet in effect. We still had a few more minutes before we would resume back on our journey. Just for the record, werewolves didn't move in silence. We were loud and fearsome creatures that liked our p
BAELA I rolled sideways on the mat in Beta Oliver's tent like the night before. Tonight though I had an extra blanket to keep me warm and it was playing its role but I was still restless. For some unexplainable reason I couldn't sleep. I most likely would need Aria's services before midnight if I couldn't fall asleep on my own. I guess I wasn't used to the smell of Beta Oliver's tent. The smell wasn't bad, it was nice but I preferred that of Alpha Abbadon better, I have become accustomed to it in a very short while. I also wished I had my own tent but I did not. Why did I not have one? Only Alpha Abbadon could answer. I rolled one more time on the mat when I heard footsteps of someone approaching. Who could it be this late? Nobody was walking around in camp by this time of the night. "Aria, go find out who it is immediately!" I ordered. Instantly she appeared and was out of the tent to investigate who it was. I didn't have to wait long for the answer as she reappeared almost 2 se
BAELAI moved upstream, as far as I could go with my legs but there were no signs of Alpha Abbadon or any werewolf of my pack. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air and I was now tired.It will take me an hour at least to walk back the distance I had covered while running. I was breathing through my mouth to get more air into my lungs. Sweats had now formed all over my forehead and some parts of my body. The good news was that I hadn't lost my way. I had followed the stream up to this point, I just had to follow it back to my starting point. The bad news though was plentiful.Where was Alpha Abbadon and the rest of the pack? What had happened to them while I was asleep? How was I going to survive on my own out here in the wild if anything happened to them? "I need your help now more than ever Aria". I whispered to her as she flew above me."Yes Baela, what will you have me do?" She asked."I don't have Alpha Abbadon here to look out for me, so I want you to do that for me.
BAELAIt was nightfall again in the woods of Gaiasania. Almost 2 days had gone past without anything eventful happening to me. We had left the camp this morning to continue on our journey and now it was nightfall.I was still assigned to sleep in Beta Oliver's tent. So far for almost 2 days Alpha Abbadon had simply ignored me like I didn't exist. I heard him questioning the Beta's when I went missing but now I was back he didn't care so much after all.Beta Oliver for his part had tried to make amends and I had accepted his apologies. The details behind his abandoning me in camp though were still not clear. He had failed to provide me with any details so far.I laid on the mat that was in Beta Oliver's tent as I got ready to sleep. Tonight was different from other nights I spent out in the woods because I felt sleepy right away. I was probably tired from being forced to walk almost non-stop all day by Alpha Abbadon to make up for the lost time we had lost the previous day."Good night
BAELAI was made to sit up now as I stared at the hideous faces of the werewolves that made up the bandits that had kidnapped me from my camp.They were wanderers obviously and they had just concluded their raid on my camp. Now that they had captured me, what was their mission with me? What would they want to do to me?I wrapped myself as small as I possibly could to protect myself from them but they appeared not to want to touch me just yet. I was placed in their center along with a pile of other items they had stolen - it was their heap of spoils. I was the only living thing with the other items. Once again I stood out but for the wrong reasons.It seemed the Alpha had not yet arrived in their midst. He was the one they were all waiting for before deciding what to do with me. I was ready to plead my way out of here when he arrives, hopefully he will set me free and I could go home.From my little count, there seemed to be quite a number of them. More than our entire camp. Maybe at
BAELA My hands and legs were tied up as I laid with the rest of the spoils from the raid of Alpha Merricks wanderers. I was left in the open, under the moonlight to pass the night. I had a few wanderers watch over me so I would not try to escape. I had no plans to, I didn't know where I was and I had run out of hope. It wasn't long afterwards I succumbed to the weakness of my body again and fell asleep. I woke up slightly earlier than I had hoped. The sun had not yet risen but I knew dawn was close by. I guess I couldn't sleep longer because I was in discomfort. My wrist and ankles were burning me, they have been tightly bound. I was beginning to go numb in them as I could not really feel a lot of sensations. "Please my bounds are too tight, can you help me loosen them a little?" I begged one of the wanderers watching over me and the spoils. "Hahaha!" He laughed as he turned to look at me. "Why should I, so it can be easy for you to escape?" "No! I won't try to escape. It i
BAELAI stood in front of Alpha Abbadon as he looked at me. He didn't need to say anything to me, his silence was golden.I moved closer to him even though my legs were still a bit numb and fell on him in an embrace. Tears of joy flowed freely from my eyes. I never thought I would be so moved to see him. This was the second time he was risking his life to save me."You are hurt, did they touch you?" I could hear the concern in his voice as he asked mildly. It touched me and I clinged onto him even more tightly. "No they didn't touch me but my wrist and ankles hurt". I said, burying my tears soaked face into his body. It was for real, I wasn't dreaming. I could touch, smell and see him! He was my Alpha but I was holding on to him in public as if he was my mate."You can't walk on your own then, you will need help. I'll have one of the Beta's carry you". He said. "Thank you so much Alpha Abbadon!" I was grateful. His act of selflessness sometimes confuses me like now. Sometimes he w
BAELAWe arrived at a new spot in the woods of Gaiasania where we set up a temporary camp. This evening was going to be different than the others as Alpha Abbadon looked upset. I could not tell what had put him in such a bad mood this evening because I hadn't stepped out of line once and so also were the others with me.For some inexplicable reason I was drawn to him to comfort him, to reassure him all was going to be alright…whatever it was. I watched as he went into his tent alone, soon though he was going to be going out of camp again and I might not see him until tomorrow morning. I had to go to him."I am sorry to trouble you Alpha Abbadon, can I please come in?" I asked, seeking his permission first."This is not a good time Baela, what do you want?" He asked impatiently."I do not want anything for my personal gain...I only noticed you are not in a pleasant mood and I am unhappy with that". I said, stating why I had come to see him. "Okay, you are right but there is nothing y
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
