"Who are you?" I asked the maid who was arranging the room, who made it look very beautiful. It smelled so fresh, like beautiful flowers. I could also perceive the aroma of ginger tea combined with something else I couldn't tell, but it smelled delicious. "I am your new maid my lady. My name is Karla." She said curtsying. "Where is Astrid?" I asked her. Astrid was a very nice maid. She was an intelligent nice girl whom I liked and trusted so much. I didn't want a new maid because no one would never be like Astrid. She was the only one who could understand my pain and me myself, she gave me what I wanted. She even laid her lives for me, with her help, I was able to communicate with Leoric even without seeing him. She would deliver my better to him and delivered his message to me. She was a rare gem to me that I would never want to lose. "She has been transferred to the elder Luna's quarter." The maid said and I knew taht was all. I couldn't place the order of her retu
"Can you now tell me who you are?" I asked Karla after locking the door behind her. She had come to help me with some chores, so I used the advantage of that to lock her up, removing the keys. Whenever I asked her who she was, she had always found a way to avoid it but not today, I had held her captive and she must tell me. "I am not intending to hide who I am from you, not at all." She smirked, tossing the bedspread on the bed. "Nor will I blackmail you, I am not here to trouble you, I am here on my own mission, okay?" She said and continued with her chores. "Your mission? What mission?" "I am here to punish someone, maybe you should view me as a spy, an assassin or a manslayer." She said, her gaze still indifferent. "What!? An assassin?" I was confused. I had heard different cases of murder and assassination but I never experience one. Moreover, most of them accomplish their mission hiding their identity because they would be killed if found. If she reall
Being Lustrow's wife was very hard for me as he continued to treat me like a slave and treated me very bad. His parents were trying their best to treat me as a daughter in law, but they were too dumb to notice how their son treated me even on their presence. What could I do? I took everything with a pinch of salt and went on with life. He hit me, insulted me, harass me and usually did that in front of the maids. He always tried to prove that I was nothing higher than the maids in status but I never gave him a chance to ridicule me to that level. I knew who I was, I wasn't Kevyra but Silene, the only child of Alpha Phenrix. This was an experience that would never had occurred if he was alive. My father was a disciplinarian, even if Lustrow was my mate and my husband, behaving so arrogantly and non chalantly, my father would have made him know the difference between world and life. There was a day I voiced out, but I ended up in tears and I was happy I said what I h
"What is going on over there? Why is there so much people gathered up? Did something happen?" I asked, still stretching neck if I would be able to see what they were all busy watching. "I don't think Alpha Lustrow will be happy to see you here, please go back to the mansion." She took my arm. "No! Why would you say that? I need to know what is going on." I yanked her hands away from me and pushed her back. "My lady.... It's okay, I will tell you." She held me back. "Well... it's a maid my lady... We found her lifeless body laying there this morning. According to the investigation carried out. She fell from the terrace, but we don't know if it is murder, suicide or accident." She explained to me as fast as her mouth could send out each words she made use of, pleading me to return to my room without giving a reason, but right then, I could not understand anything anymore. I was scared upon hearing the news, then my mind drifted to Karla. She was an assassin
Karla's death was really shocking for me, it baffled me. She was here to kill someone but she got killed and that was were the confusion set in. It had been a week since the incident happened but it was like I couldn't forget about her in a moment. She was so nice and intelligent. I was already planning to stop her evil plan and I had started to make a move but her sudden death broke my heart. There were some questions I still wanted to get answered, my mind was mess as I tried hard to unravel the mystery behind her death. Lustrow made everyone believe that I could be the one who killed her because I didn't like her as my maid but because I couldn't complain about it, I decided to kill her. He wasn't planning to get me jailed, was he? No one knew yet if it was murder or accident, but most believed that it was murder. While trying to put the pieces together, I heard knocks on my door and a recognisable scent rented the air. It wasn't it a maid to have a special scent, so
The night finally came, the night I never wanted to come. I was the kind that hated parties, all kind of parties but I was helpless. Whether I liked it or not, I just had to go. I would of course have disagreed if I had a choice. I had to dress up and look good as Lustrow's wife just for the sake of it. Busy thinking of what to wear, Lisa, the wife of Beta Morgan came to my room, looking very excited. It wouldn't be because of the party would it? She was already dressed. She was already a stunning woman, but tonight she dressed to kill. She wore a lemon drezs with short puffy sleeves and a U neckline. It was embroidered with lace and ribbons and flowed from the waist down. Her midnight black hair was braided and attached to her head like a diadem. Her emerald eyes were surrounded by thick long lashes and she added some colors to her pale cheeks. Lisa looked very innocent when smiling but when being serious, her hard facial features gave her a very elegant arist
I felt cold, I wrapped arm around myself and bent my knees so I laid curled on the ground. Life was so hard living with Lustrow, he made life tougher than I could ever imagine. No matter how hard life is, how complicated on fate is, how rough one's road is, how horrible one's nightmare is, you shouldn't just give up. Try, try and try till you get to your destination. For Lustrow, I never did did anything properly. When asked to take a step to the south, I ended up moving elsewhere, whether or not I took a step to the south, fate worked in inverse for me. If I planted right, I reaped wrong. Lustrow had made me sleep in the basement overnight, locking the door up. The basement in the pack house functioned as the washhouse for the whole pack and a store room for useless junks.I had mistakenly spilled hot coffee on his dress. He had told me not to ever look into his eyes or walk on the same path with him. Not aware that he was on the path I was treading, I ran into him,
For the very first time in the world, this season was favouring me. Whenever the feast of the moon was on its way I had always been the most stressed, drudging and miserable wolf, who would do nothing except for the preparation, all hours preparation. I would be the one to decorate the whole Arrowhead pack house, cook food, do the cleaning and I would still get lashed if there was error in my works. I never celebrated the feast of the moon without feeling pain all over my but this year was going to be very different one, special. I would celebrate happily and of course freely. Lustrow might change his attitude towards me after the festival, but I would make sure I take an advantage of this, I would accomplish my goals just within this time till the D-day. I had become independent these days, I could walk freely, talk freely and go anywhere without being questioned. Even if you were an evil wolf and you wanted to escape the wrath and punishment of the moon goddess, then you
"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
