BAELAI had succeeded going up to midday without being seen by Alpha Abbadon as I was led by Aria. All was going according to plan and I was glad. I had been walking along which was what I preferred but it was starting to get hot.The sun was overhead, still trying to evaporate as much water from the surface of the ground as it could after the heavy rains 2 days ago. I was beginning to break a sweat and I knew it was because of how warm everywhere felt.Luckily for me though, I still had enough shade from under the trees to keep me from facing the scorching rays of the sun directly but no matter where I hid, I could not escape the heat."I wished we had not been in a hurry to leave this morning, I would have loved to go for a little swim at the stream". I said to Aria, who was flying just ahead of me. She made herself visible to me this time around, since we were no longer running. Now I didn't have to rely on her voice for guidance but her presence."I am sorry Baela, I wished we had
BAELA"...THANK GOODNESS YOU ARE ALRIGHT!" I heard a distinctive male voice say just below me. For the first few seconds I thought I was already asleep and was dreaming but I quickly realized I was not in a dream. I was wide awake.I watched as Aria quickly disappeared from my view, although He could not see her. How was he able to sneak up on me undetected, even catching Aria by surprise and causing her to flee?"ALPHA ABBADON!" I called out, partially scared as I looked down below the tree I was on. It was truly him below, although it was slightly dark below. I couldn't see his face clearly but I could make out his distinct baritone voice easily. He was all by himself, he had come alone, forsaken his entire Beta's with him."YOU ARE ALIVE!...I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!...I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!" He revealed from down below. His voice filled with shock and surprise."Yes I am ALIVE Alpha Abbadon". I replied, suddenly feeling bad for fooling him the way I did but he was suppose to accept I
BAELAI watched as he looked at me with renewed awe. He was very impressed by what I had said, about him not knowing all about me and about me being special."So you will do absolutely nothing to punish me but would you set me free to continue on my journey alone?" I inquired, refusing to mention where I was headed to."I am sorry Baela but I cannot. Now I have found you, you have to travel with me". Alpha Abbadon insisted."What if I no longer want to?" I asked, stubborn. I don't know if I was trying to provoke him or get him to let go of me. "And where would you go if I set you free on your own?" He asked, surprisingly calm at me."I don't know yet, I will decide in the morning ". I said, acting undecided. He didn't need to know I had decided to go back home, I wanted him to believe I had decided to become a wanderer like he was."Good, then I will wait here with you until tomorrow morning when you make that decision". He revealed to my delight. It meant tonight he was not going to
BAELAThat was strange coming from Aria. Now that sounded like a prophecy. When did Aria dive into prophecy? I scratched my head literally as I wondered about what she had just said and why she left so suddenly after saying it."So have you decided now, are you coming with me to meet the others?" Alpha Abbadon asked again, probably seeing how I was scratching my head.Now I am forced to make a decision, go with my instinct again and continue on my journey home with Aria, or take Aria's advice and go with Alpha Abbadon to meet with the others. Come to think of it, Aria had only made me look good in front of Alpha Abbadon, teaching me the necessary skills I need to survive out here while also watching over me. She had never been wrong so far and I hope she was right about this too."Okay I have decided". I said looking at him as his eyes brightened."Okay tell me, what is it?" He was eager."I will go back with you and rejoin the others". I announced to his delight. His face had now bri
BAELA"NO, WE HAVE TO GO TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD!" I repeated clearly. It seemed like I was talking irrationally to them all. I could see Alpha Abbadon look at me more cautiously than before."BUT I HAVE MADE MY DECISION, WE WOULD NO LONGER BE GOING TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD BUT INSTEAD BE RETURNING BACK HOME, I THOUGHT THE NEWS WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY!" He said."I AM HAPPY ALPHA ABBADON. I THOUGHT YOU WOULD GO AHEAD WITHOUT ME TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD BUT YOU CAME LOOKING FOR ME. NOW YOU HAVE FOUND ME, MY ONLY DESIRE IS FOR US TO COMPLETE OUR JOURNEY TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD". I insisted."AND OF WHAT BENEFIT WOULD THAT BE TO YOU? WHY SHOULD I RISK MY LIFE AND YOURS AND THOSE OF MY BETA'S TO CROSS THE GREAT MÉSIS SEA?" He inquired. He wanted to know my reason, perhaps there was more he had not yet revealed about his desire to return back home all of a sudden."BECAUSE I PROMISED TO FIND YOU A WORTHY BRIDE TO HE YOUR LUNA AND YOU PROMISED YOUR ENTIRE PACK YOU WERE GOING TO RETURN WITH H
BAELAI watched as Alpha Abbadon walked up to me after saying those words. I stayed rooted on the spot as the others headed to their rafts to push it out of the beach onto the sea. "It's time Baela, say goodbye to home and take my hand". He said, offering his right hand. I took hold of his right hand slowly as his words sunk in. I was really saying bye to home and to the continent I grew up in. Whatever lay ahead of us was a mystery we were going to discover.I got on the raft as he led me to it but he didn't jump onto it. The other Beta's were in two's as they waited for Alpha Abbadon to make the first move. Alpha Abbadon was holding on to the raft I was on still on the beach as he started to push it towards the sea. Now it was happening for real and I looked at the sea ahead of me before turning back to look at my home.I hope I get to see you again. I was looking at the beach and the woods of Gaiasania, hoping to be reunited with them once again. I couldn't reminisce for long t
BAELAI could still see the fishes flying out of the waters surrounding us as I dared to look at the water below. I leaned a little to the edge of the raft while I was on my knees and I could see a sort of shadow below, it seemed to be moving."I have never been out at sea before but is that supposed to be normal?" I asked Alpha Abbadon, as I stared at the sea below.I know Alpha Abbadon must have looked below to see what it was underneath us as fear gripped me to my bones. I couldn't move, I was paralyzed with fear."NO, THAT IS NOT NORMAL! SOMETHING HUGE IS UNDERNEATH AND IT IS MOVING!" Alpha Abbadon said, as I let go of the fishes I had caught in my hand. I quickly retreated from the edge of the raft to the middle that was safe.I looked around me and it seemed only Alpha Abbadon and I had noticed it, the others were still excited by the easy catch of the fishes."WEREWOLVES, WE ARE NOT ALONE!" Alpha Abbadon exclaimed to draw their attention to him. "SOMETHING HUGE IS UNDERNEATH
BAELA I was looking behind me eager to see what the Giant Octopus would do. The large numbers of school of fishes that were jumping out of the water were all but gone now. Gone in two large vortexes it had created from underneath the surface of the water. I could see the sea stop swirling in the direction of the vortex and soon the tentacles of the Giant Octopus started to submerge inside the water. "LOOK, IT IS GOING AWAY!" I declared with joy. Glad to see that scary being slowly disappear from sight. Alpha Abbadon and the others also turned back to catch a last glimpse of it, as it was almost submerged in the sea. "IT IS GOING UNDERNEATH, LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T RESURFACE SOMEWHERE ELSE". Alpha Abbadon said, still looking behind him. The giant Octopus had consumed a large quantity of fishes, I was positive it was now satisfied and we were safely away from its path and danger. Soon all the giant Octopus was submerged, only the large ripples and air burbles left from it could be se
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
