"What is in the paper?" Leoric asked the servant as he quickly unfolded the paper. He stared at it for a while, reading through what was in the paper before refolding it and kept it in his pocket. His countenance changed immediately after reading the text and before Kevyra could ask him what was in there, he left taking quick steps out. It was a message from the Arrowhead pack but the person who sent it was anonymous, he did not know who he was. He was not expecting anyone and the letter read, 'I am at Barcon now, can we meet as soon as possible before the feast ends? Anonymous from an onymous pack... Arrowheads.' Why didn't the person tell him who he was instead of bushing about the bush? Why did he want to meet him? Leoric was eager, running as fast as his leg could carry him. Leoric ran into the Barcon, the yard of the monsoon and halted, looking for the person who asked him to come in there but there was no sign of anyone in the yard. It was quiet and dark...
"I can't let him win and I will not let him win." I repeated mantra in my mind while the second lash landed on my bare skin. The wounds on my back, the one I sustained in the morning was not even planning to heal. I had developed a high tolerance to pain since I knew Lustrow would resume to his real self. As he lashed me, he slapped me, reminiscing all I said to him in the field. He was looking at me very furiously. "How dare you!" He gripped my neck and raised me up with my legs dangling in the air. I was choking as I began to lose air in my lungs. It was very difficult for me to breathe now, I coughed and coughed. The veins on my neck and forehead popped out and my face turned red. I was in extreme pain but Lustrow didn't care, he held up my neck that I felt my lungs expanding to breaking extent. Tears flowed freely down my eyes but I could not do a thing. I grasped his wrist hard, trying to free myself from his grip but to no avail. He was staring at me ferocious
I jerked up from my bed as I woke up from my sleep. I was sweating very profusely as I shivered compulsively under the duvet. I just had a terrible nightmare but it felt so real because I could feel pain all over my body as I woke and my heart.... It was also aching somehow as if I had been stabbed there. It felt like the whole scene that happened in my nightmare also happened with me. I was so scared even though I had no genuine reason to be but what if the nightmare later come to pass... I feared. I had not seen Lustrow after he had stormed out of the field angrily last night, I was sure he was still boiling in anger. For him to had not come he must have a reason. I looked at the window, the sun had risen, it was morning already. Just as I stood up to go freshen up and get myself dressed, I felt a sharp pain at my nape. I groaned in pain and fell back. It was as if I had been held there too... What was happening? Why were all my body parts aching so much? Did it really happene
Drips! Drops! Drops! Blood dripped down from Kevyra's wound as she was being rushed in arms into the pack health house in her unconscious state. She was bloodied, her white dress had been drenched in her blood. She was quickly placed on the bed and the physician started to attend to her wounds. There were claw marks all over her body, she must had gotten into a fight with some animals that had claws. "What happened to Luna Kevyra?' Lisa cried as she ran into the health house. " How did the Luna sustain such a injury? " "I have no idea, all I want to hear now is that Kevyra is safe... We have to ask her who had done all these to her, how all of these happened and I will not spare whoever had done this to my wife." Lustrow said through gritted teeth with worry written all over his face and imprinted in his voice. Was all these even genuine? Leoric doubted. "Physician, will you be able to save my wife's life or we should transfer her to the hospital?" Lustrow asked.
I woke up to the strong stench of bleach, disinfectants, mentholated salve and rubbing alcohol filling my nostrils. I sat up begrudgingly in the bed and scanned the room. It was mostly empty but that was not my biggest concern at this moment.... the only thing on my mind was why I was here. There was no one to ask, I was the only one in the four walls. I didn't know how I got here. Lisa and Leoric entered the room like a minute after I woke and they both exhaled... Like they literally slumped their shoulders. Lisa put her palm on her chest, closed her eyes and sighed in relief. What was she told by the doctor? I pulled the oxygen mask that was placed over my mouth and nose off my face as Lisa hugged my head with emotional tears welling down her eyes. "I am happy you are fine." She sucked. "Lisa, why am I in the hospital?" I asked as I was not feeling any pain but my head was bandaged. I was not even sounding like me, I felt like my voice was coming out from someone el
Leoric took glance at his wrist watch now and then, and shook his head. He was drumming his fingers on the round table he sat at, he was impatient looking here and there as if looking for something. The loud sound of the bass music in the enclosure was not even letting him concentrate on his thoughts. He just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. "Mm mm!" He found someone engulfing him in a hug from behind, pecking his cheek as she giggled. The scent of a lady's perfume filled the air penetrating his nostrils and when he looked back to check who it was, he found Harolden standing there behind him, wearing a very broad smile of excitement and joy. But why was she dressing like this? Leoric grimaced. She was putting on a sexy dress that was exposing almost her entire laps. Although, she was looking very beautiful bit Leoric wasn't a bit interested in what she wore, he was disgusted. "How do I look today Leoric? Amazing isn't it?" She spun three-sixty degree. "I
The moonlight streamed through the window of my room in the North wing. After my recovery, I was transferred to the vacant room on the third floor due to some reasons I really wasn't aware of and I did not bother to enquire about it because I love my new room, it is more bigger than and it was beautifully decorated with silvers and white and I could I was able to see what goes past and comes in the pack house with the help of my large glass window. I stared at the main entrance of the pack house as some unrecognized faces climbed up the stairs. From where I was, I could see the women laughing joyously as they delicately picked up their expensive gowns and climbed the stairs. They curled thier hands warmly around their men's arm with affection. Who were they and why were they here, it wasn't that we are having any party. Wait, I wasn't informed that anyone was coming and with the way they all dressed it looked like some party were being held downstairs. Why didn't they then tell
Lisa held her jaw down and looked into my eyes. "There must be a reason behind that, doesn't he have a mate? Oh no! That's not even possible, why wouldn't he have a mate? But first, we have to stop Alpha Leoric from getting engaged to Barsine. I am with you in this, we shall both get to the bottom of the problem together." She embraced me comfortingly and I felt comforted. Now I have some one with me, it would be easy for me to clear Lustrow with the help of Lisa. "What will we do Lisa? The house is full with guest, the decorations has been done, everything is set... The couple is ready. The Alpha and the Luna are also set, do you think we will be able to stop this? If Leoric and Barsine get engaged we won't be able to stop their marriage and once their marriage is complete, I will lose my Leoric forever." I cried. "I have a plan, I will make an arrangement for that... You just have to be calm okay?" "What arrangements will you make? Don't do anything stupid Lisa that mi
"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
