I made my way to the room Luna Dessa was when i was done dressing myself up. I put on a causal clothes, the one I was wearing was wet and soggy and even my make up at erased. My planned throughout the day, I wouldn't say it worked out the way I wanted but at least, Harol sent me out of the house and also said that she didn't want to see my face ever again. I was sure she would not want to see me because she would be afraid I would throw up on her again. As I approached the room, I heard some whispery voices, it was sounding like they were plotting devilish plan in there. It was coming from the room I just left but I could not hear what they were saying at all and I did not know who it was that was talking. I stopped in front of the door and leaned my ear against the door to hear what they were saying. I knew I shouldn't be eavesdropping but I was kinda suspicious. Why would one be whispering things like this? Didn't they want anyone to hear what they were saying? What was
Brightness. Brightness penetrated into my eyes and forced me to open them when I really didn't want to wake up, I felt like sleeping more. I had to blink several times and rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm before I could see anything clearly. I didn't want to wake up and I wouldn't have woken up if not of the light that poked my eyes like I was being stung by an insect. I looked around where I was not moving my body. This was a new place, wasn't it? I looked around again, scanning everything that was in the room and what could have possibly brought me here. I didn't recognise where I was. Not a whit! I found myself in a little room, surrounded by dark charred walls. It was as if the room was once burnt. Like, so there was a room like this in the pack-house? How come I didn't know about it and how did I get here? I kept on scanning, to my left, there was a small table and a chair, and just right above a small window from which the sunlight peeked through. In front of me,
I stopped and looked around, where was I again? I couldn't recognize this place. I walked slowly forward away from the store room and that was when I saw that door. This was the place I once heard a maid talking about which was offbound for everybody bit not for Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa. I never even asked about this place and why it was offbound, what could be special about this place that no one is allowed to go there? Even if I asked, would anyone give me an answer? Obviously not! I continued to move forward, I wanted to make sure I unravel the whole thing today and that was when I saw that the door of the room was slightly opened.... My heart jolted up in shock, my eyes popping out of shock... someone was definitely in the room for it to be opened. Without thinking twice, I walked slowly down to check who it could be there. For the door to be opened, it was either some one just left from there or just entered. I didn't know why but I was very scared... Surprisingly,
Where the hell is this noise coming from again and that too very early in the morning. I placed my palm on my forehead as I slowly moved away from the bed and slid into my flip flops. I couldn't hear the voice well so I couldn't recognize the voice. I sprinkled some water to my face and left the room. There was no one out of my room to ask who it was making that noise and why there was so much noise. I turned to the direction of where the voice was coming from and began to walk on to the place. "Ashley!" I finally met some one, but she was running. "Come here." "I am sorry Silene, I can't come... I need to be there as soon as I can." She told me and ran out quickly before I could even ask her where she was heading and why she was running. I continued to move, taking gentle steps as I had abdominal pain. The voice was coming upstairs so I took the stairs up and then, I saw the gathering. There were so many maids around, and there was some one in the middle of those
What I believed to be ordinary nightmare was becoming the biggest fear ever for me as I had been having it very fervently and whenever I had it, it always felt so real, that I would be drenched in my own sweat, my heart would be throbbing heavily as if I was truly in the room. Could this be possible? Could it be that there was really a weak woman in that off bound room who was dying? No... I shouldn't believe this... The room was always very scary and I wondered why I had been having this nightmare. Yea, it was true that one needed to be very suspicious of the room. Why would Luna Dessa pronounce one room to be forbidden where only her and Alpha Ailwyn can go. It was clear that it wasn't their private lair, because if it was she wouldn't be having a hard time to tell people that it was their private lair, especially when Harolden decided to move to that room. She could have just tell her that it wasn't possible because the room only belonged to her and her Alpha. I looked aro
"No... No... I just want you to trust me... I want you and I to go to that place without any one knowing... Just once Leoric... I expect you, if no one does but you should be able to understand my plight. You should know the reason I am so adamant... I ain't like this, you know? Can you do this for me?" I said staring into Leoric's eyes as his countenance slowly turned into disappointment. Would he believe me, I thought as I awaited his response. "Do you think there's some kind of contrabands or something in that room that the Alpha and the Luna don't want any of us to see. How's is that possible, I have always been here and I never saw or heard of anything like that? I don't get you, you need to explain what you mean to me? This nightmare and stuffs, I don't get it at all... You need to be explicit. Silene, you know what this can cost you if you don't snap out." Leoric gripped my arm and shook me. "No, no... I know you trust me and I want you to do this for me... For one
I wouldn't stop having this nightmare, I knew it. My head pang as I sat up. I was so soaked in my own sweat and I was breathing heavily just as usual. I was also scared whenever I woke up having that nightmare. I stood up from the bed and looked up at the wall clock... O.M.G It was past ten already, Leoric would be waiting for me in the class. I should be there by now, he was the one who delayed me in the nightmare and I was delaying him in real life. I got ready quickly and turned out to go to the place we had agreed to meet. I didn't even care about my dinner, no one had come to give to offer me anything. If they had, I even wouldn't have taken it because I had no appetite. I advanced towards the stairs that lead to the floor where the basement was and then, I came across Alpha Lustrow and some of the male servants walking behind him. What was he doing out here and that to
I and Leoric scampered hand in hand into the room to ensure each other's safety, we didn't know what we were going to meet in the room. I knew he wasn't a bit scared because he didn't believe that there was truly something in the room but I was so much scared because I already had an idea of what we were going to meet in there. I peeked in as Leoric courageously entered the room. Just like I had it in the nightmare, the chamber was very well furnished and tidied... Everywhere was fully lit and brilliant. It was very obvious that there was someone living in this room with the way it looked. But, from the haunting silence of the room, it seemed there was no sound or sign of life around us. The silence was scary because there was no sound not even the externals. "Leoric, are you not shocked?" I asked him as we entered. "I am utterly shocked... I never thought there was a room as beautiful as this in this pack-house... And also, do you know what I was expecting? I was expecting
"My Lord..." Leoric stood up. "It's quite simple, it's very easy for a criminal to gather as many as possible fake things just to prove him or herself nor guilty and that's what Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa did, with you permission, I will like to call out three people who has been working for Silver pack for years just to testify. Whatever they say should be your reason for judgement." What was Leoric upto this time? I didn't have an idea of this new plan of his. Looking at faces of the Silver pack members, they were feeling awkward. Who could it be that Leoric wanted to call out? He didn't even tell me about it, he kept everyone in suspense as he was yet to call out the names of the people. "Permission is granted. You can call out anyone you wish, if they are able to convince the court, then you will be victorious but if they fail to prov
"Ailwyn!" The head pack called his name loud and clear. Alpha Ailwyn's eyes flared up as he slowly stood up from his chair, awaiting the head pack's next order. Not just his heart must have jolted up but everyone's because no one knew what he was going to say next. The air was again tensed, everyone sat still, nervous, sick and eager. The head back signalled him to move to the box which he did immediately. One could see that he was so uneasy. Reaching the box, the plotter stood up. "Alpha Leoric, you must have heard all the allegations. It was explicit indeed, which means you understand the concept of what was said. How do you plead, are you guilty or not?" "How many times will I tell you I am not guilty that it's all false accusations? Do you want me to go up the hill and declare it the to the whole world that I ain't guilty? This is an embarrassment and I don't expect any of you to keep here for so long." Alpha Ailwyn shouted angrily at the plotter but he remained calm
The courtroom was filled with different categories of personalities, people with high status and some people I never saw in the town. The air was still and tense. To break the tension, people try to make conversations in low voices. Harolden and Lustrow was there, glancing at where I and Leoric was sitting now and then. Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa were sitting some where else but yet, they were not stable. It was as though they didn't know why there were being called to court. The plotter suddenly sprung to his feet. The murmuring fades away. We all stood up when the head of packs entered the courtroom. He took his seat. The audience sat. The plotter gave him a file. "We have no time to waste, call the first case." He said. "The first case, Alpha Ailwyn Lochlain Silver and Luna Dessa Ailwyn Silver." There was silence as Luna De
When Leoric said he would be going to report the case to the head pack, I thought he was kidding. I didn't expect it to be so soon, how would we even start? What would we say happened? Leoric sat there in the morning arranging the documents we got from his mother, as he cross checked the documents, tears coursed down from his eyes. I knew he was having the memories of his mother. I felt so lonely but when he saw me coming out of the other room, unaware that I had been watching him he quickly wiped off his tears. "Will you have some tea this morning? It's snowing." I asked him and he nodded. I went to prepare his tea and gave it to him. "Leoric!" I called. He looked up wearing a smile. "Yes?" He answered. "How are you feeling this morning? I mean, I saw you." "I am okay, you don't have to bother, all o
"Enough Lustrow!" Alpha Ailwyn raised his hand up. "You sent them to go after Leoric but you are afraid to go... You must be very careful with the way you give orders to your soldiers. If you are scared of getting killed, why are you then sending your soldiers?" "If that's the case, Alpha Ailwyn... Why don't you go and look for him yourself... You are experienced, you should know more about your son, since you are not scared of him I suggest you go to him yourself." "What!?" Lustrow, Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa exclaimed at Harolden's statement. "What are you saying?" Luna Dessa pulled her to face her. She was talking with no control, this could enrage Alpha Ailwyn but she couldn't understand. "Do you even know whom you are referring to? How dare you speak to Alpha Ailwyn in that manner? Do not overstep your limi
In the morning when Leoric opened his eyes with the burning lights of the sun, he saw her bare back in front of him. She was sleeping comfortably like a baby, all innocent, all unaware of the harsh realities and necessities of the world. This was what he wanted, he wanted peace of mind for him and his wife, they were getting it because there was no one to come disturb them up there because no one knew of their whereabouts. His one hand was resting near her belly button, he was trying to feel his baby which was in her womb and that was also probably because he was caressing her to help her sleep peacefully without disturbance. He supported his head with the other hand of his and tilted himself up a bit up on the bed and his eyes got immersed in the beauty of her body, all alabaster, milky, all spotless and smooth. He ran his fingers to her back. Eve
Just as I fell down to the floor after blow punch I got in the rib, Suddenly, I heard a yelp of a wolf which I knew raised a red flag.. I was down hearted, a curse almost escaped my lips. I looked up just to see one of the black wolves galloping towards me, its claws were out and I knew it had only come for my protruded stomach which I knew was one of the reason we were bring chased, it was apparent from its eyes. They must have concluded that Leoric was the one responsible for my pregnancy. Not having the strength to defend myself, I shut my eyes waiting for what was going to happen next. This would be fate not a curse, if we were destined to be held captive then we would be but I hoped not... I was terrified nevertheless. It was a fast swish! I heard the sound of a object like a knife slashing through something which also sounded like a flesh... It was me, my heart jumped up to my throat at the thought. I shot my eyes opened when I couldn't feel any pain, and then I saw the de
"Alpha Lustrow, I am telling you the truth... He has killed so many soldiers. Alpha Leoric stole away with that pregnant maid, Silene!" He told and they all rose up at the same time ejaculating.. "What!?" "I am telling the truth my lord, please... You can come to see it yourself, he dumped the dead bodies of the soldiers in the tunnel...." Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa not wanting to hear anything he was saying again, they stormed out of the dinning hall to see if what the soldier was saying was true and Lustrow went after them. They went to check the tunnel the soldier mentioned and they found a pile of dead bodies of soldiers in the tunnel. They were so shocked and dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that Leoric could do such a thing. Just as they were pondering on the reason Leoric absconded with Silene, another maid ran to them falling on her knees. She was shivering as she was trying to say something. "What is wrong with you?" Harolden asked her with a slap.
"Silene, it's time you closed your eyes now." Just as he said, his fingers began to elongate. Straight and with sharp, glittering edges with pointed tips. I closed my eyes and tried not to listen to any sound around me but the rhythm of my own heart. The sound that would give me the peace of mind and not make me feel distressed. We were still moving quickly on the horse and while my eyes were closed all I could hear, from the right to the left was the sound of fleshes being ripped. The washing sound of blood as it spluttered to the floor and the sounds the flesh made as the claws sunk into them. I was tempted to open my eyes by the groans of the soldiers, to see how they were being killed but Leoric kept ringing it to my ears and I kept my eyes still shut. He knew I could lose my consciousness at the sight of it. Leoric rode as fast as he could, making sure he kill all the soldier
