Did I really want to do this? I asked myself in my mind as my gaze slowly travelled back to Leoric who stood some feet away from me, staring at me, probably weirded out by my sudden action. I didn't know why I was so scared of getting close to Leoric, but I really was. Wouldn't this some how affect my life? I thought. My heart beat faster as I looked at his lustful eyes, but his own gaze remained questioning while mine slowly turned questioning as well. "What is it Kevyra? What's going on in your head? You are mine..." Leoric said with a confused gaze. The question was, was I his? Lustrow had already made me his, his family had made me his, Arrowhead pack family had forcefully made me his out of my helplessness, would I ever be Leoric's? "Will I ever be yours?" That was the question that came out of my mouth as my gaze narrowed more. I was expecting Leoric to be more confused by that question but he only smiled and walked forward again. "Let me make you
I tip-toed gently, opening the door slightly and snuck out of the room, leaning myself to the door so as to not make any sound that would interrupt Leoric sleep. And just as I stepped out of the room, my eyes widened in shock with whom I saw. I swallowed and quickly ran back into the room before Alpha Ailwyn could see me coming out of Leoric's room. I peeked out of the room from the door after staying in for a while, he was gone and I quickly ran out of the room heading towards my own room to meet the doom. I held my wet gown up, water dripping out of it as I entered the room where Lustrow sat fuming but I didn't care... All I cared about now was myself and Leoric. Immediately he noticed my presence, he jumped out of the bed and turned to me, wanting to say something but immediately he saw me I guessed his words disappeared. I pretended to be shivering out of cold, I held myself together with my arm and I kept my gaze low. He must have been convinced now that I slept in the
"Lustrow? Why are you not putting on the dress I chose specially for you and your wife? Don't tell me you don't like it" Luna Dessa said. Lustrow wasn't wearing the shirt and pants and this was because of me. I was happy he didn't because I also didn't want him to wear the same clothe with me, we share no relationship... Not even friendship, Lustrow hated me and I realized it was becoming intense day by day with me not having a clue of its reason. Luna Dessa didn't like it the way he wore another dress, making us look totally different... The colour of the dress was not even similar to the one i wore at all. He was wearing a green shirt and a pair black jean trousers, making him look odd... Everyone except for him was wearing white and red, including Lustrow.. But he stood out in an awkward way. "Not at all mum, I definitely love that dress, it looks very beautiful but I don't want to wear it only because of her..." He pointed at me with an angry stare but did I look l
I yawned loudly as I slowly adjusted my eyes to the rats of the sun, it was dawn.. I thought as I sat up to check the windows. I leapt to my feet and looked at the bed, Lustrow was still sleeping on the bed, I should get prepared before he woke up. I went straight into the bathroom, had a proper shower and dressed up, waiting for me to hear a sound that will send me out of that room. I sat back on the floor spread I slept on, and leant my head against the bed when I heard the creaking sound of the bed. Lustrow stirred in his sleep and I knew he would be waking up anytime soon and before I could blink a wear off, Lustrow was already on his buttocks, sitting at the edge of the bed and slowly before he would notice me, I went down still and pretended as if I wasn't awake. "Get me the water from the jug." I heard him say. That meant he knew I was awake, to hell. I stood up to get the water when I heard him again. "Don't bother... I don't want you get the water poisoned...
"I feel Lustrow doesn't have appetite today... Same here... We had a lot last night in our room and it hasn't digested, that's the reason we don't have appetite..." I lied and looked askance at Lustrow who rose up instantly, thumping his fist on the dinning table and spilled the spicy ketchup to my face. I screamed as the spice entered my eyes, stinging me hard... Lisa was the one who ran to me and get it washed up from my face. It was less but I could still feel that sensation. "Lies! Lies! Deception! Deception!" He yelled as he slapped me across the face with the back of his hand. "Why must you always must you tell lies? Can't you say the truth for once?" Today again was another scene. Everyone rose on their feet, eyes dilated in shock. "What's going on here?" Alpha Ailwyn rushed to our table, pulling Lustrow's shirt. "Ask her dad... I want you to ask your ideal daughter in law, why must she deceive us? She is too good at lying and I hate it... Her foundation i
The whole pack house had become hot and heavy as the commotion on ground refused to cease and go. Harolden was not letting it go at all despite Leoric's and Lisa's attack against she and Lustrow. She kept alighting it as Leoric and Lisa extinguished it. Kevyra was completely worn out, she had finally erupted in to tears as she wasn't able to control it anymore. Even Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa were just standing there listening to Harolden as she spoke, completely confused with what she had been telling them. "Harolden please answer this, are you saying that Kevyra is Silene the only daughter of Alpha Phenrix and Luna Rydna of the Nightrider pack?" Luna Dessa's eyes were still widened as she waited for Harolden's response eagerly, she was looking somehow scared. "Of course... You want me to give you more details about it? I can't tell you lies, you should know it. I wouldn't have come here to support Lustrow if it isn't as important as I take it." Luna Dessa took another l
Alpha Ailwyn paced forth and back in the room, it was obvious that he was very worried about something while Luna Dessa also sat on the bed, looking scared like she could get decapitated at any moment from then. Literally, both of them were perplexed. None of them said anything to each other for a while, just talking to themselves as they thought of the situation of ground, mixing their emotions... Confusion and fear. Alpha Ailwyn pulled the tie around his neck and flung it aside, wiping the sweat that was trickling from his head to his face. He was profusely perspiring as though he was a chilled wine that was just being brought out of the refrigerator. "I can't just believe this..." He finally broke the silence. "This is too fictional to the ears, I am refusing to believe." He lamented, still moving up and down the room as if he was going to he was looking for a tiny needle along the line. "This is really bursting my brain... You can't know how I feel right now... Like
I made sure everyone had slept in the night, no sound could be heard when I gently snuck out of my new room. I had been given a new, I and Lustrow were not sleeping in the same room anymore and that was a peace at one side. There wouldn't be anyone who would frown at me early in the morning, kick me out of the bed and tell me to do chores. I would wake up in the morning without fear, no one would invade my privacy and confidentiality. I felt this revelation was more a blessing than a curse. At first I thought my fate was jinx and I was cursed, until this was happening to me and I was like - dude, come off it, this is your time... You're not gonna lose. I stepped slowly out, making a quick step and headed towards Lustrow's room. This was it, I had not seen Lustrow after the day everything happened, it was like he was hiding himself from me... I knew he probably didn't want to see me and that was not a problem for me... All I needed to do was to apologize for keeping the secret
"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
