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
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I jumped out of the bed and moved closer to the window where the rays of the sun was coming through, to check if the mark was still there but it was truly gone. I couldn't find the mark on my arm. That meant that Lustrow had actually been spiking my drugs with daert? I checked again as I was not able to believe that it wasn't there, there was no trace of the mark on my arm. Why does my nightmare always turn out to be real? Firstly it was the ghast, then Lustrow's torture that made my body ache and now it was the disappearance of the mark. There was no evidence to support my accusations anymore, how could I be so foolish and unobservant? The nightmare I had today was the worst, Leoric getting engaged and telling me not to ever come between him and his wife. Could Leoric do that to me or my dreams had been manipulated? I collapsed in to my bed and then I heard the door creaks as someone opened it. "Kevyra! Are you awake?" I don't want to
These people are so weird. They called me here just to stare at me in some kind of way I couldn't get. Their gazes were not welcoming and I wasn't freaked at all. I glanced at Luna Esdel who immediately averted her gaze before the Alpha stood up, clearing his throat as he approached me slowly with easy steps. "Why are you both not talking, you called me here." I asked them fearlessly. There was nothing to fear now. I wasn't their servant any more who they could order around or view a dummy and whatever I owed them had been settled by this marriage. I was now the girl, the independent Silene. "I am here because I was told you are ill, so what's all these? You look healthy and fine, tell me. Is this a prank or what? Why have you called me here, I don't have enough time." "How dare you speak to us in that manner, have you totally lost your senses or you do not know where you have come?" Alpha Feston yelled as he slapped out his hand to my face and he stopped. Was he
I knew I shouldn't feel this hurt because of those pictures I saw on Harol's phone but I was too hurt. Hurt to the inner skin. This was something I should go and confirm from Leoric if it was true or not but I was scared of how he would react when I ask him. I could still remember the statement he made in the dream I had that I should never come between him and his fiance if do not want to get ousted from the house. Although, I knew this was something I shouldn't be convinced by because it was a dream but at the same time I shouldn't take it for granted since the dream I had been having had been seeming to echt to doubt. This alone was causing the impulsion, I couldn't take it off my mind and it was deeply affecting me. I could never imagine Leoric copping off with Harol, let alone taking such pictures with her. I felt jilted, I felt like I was being stabbed in the heart, I became too dull to realise things going on around me. It was raining very heavily and we were all gathere
"Young Luna, Alpha Lustrow has requested your presence, he is in his private room and he want to meet him there with immediate effect." "Alright, you may leave now.' I siad as my palms began to swaet and my heart began to pound inside my chest. I had spent the whole night plotting my revenge, thinking of different method of keeping him totally away from me. I couldn't think of any possible way, none of them seemed satisfying enough. Death wasn't an option at all as I am not a murderer and I can never want to try that. That was the last thing I could do, he is the heir of the Silver pack and of course if he suddenly die they would certainly investigate it and I wondered what would happen when they find out it was me who killed him. That thought was even scary, horrible and terrifying. I can't envisage me killing some one with my hands. He bad not been sleeping in the room for some days now and he calls me every morning to wash his feet just to find a reason to torture me. He
Ha ha ha ha! I and Luna erupted into a deep loud hearty laughter as Lisa yarned us an event that took place in a grocery store she had gone to get some groceries. It was so funny and I had start to hurt my ribs and abdomen as I guffawed irrepressibly. We were all seated in the living room having nice time together when she threw that in. I had to just forsake my sorrows and blend with their own mood. Life has always thought me alot of things, you should always make new moves after failing. Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth
Leoric returned home late in the evening, yearning and heartbroken. It's been long since he spoke with Kevyra, he didn't know why she had been behaving so weird towards him. Stepping into the compound, Leoric sighed as he stared at the name plate pasted in front of the mansion. He walked inside the house and headed straight to his room. He had made up his mind to talk to Kevyra tonight but only if Lustrow would not be an obstruction. No sooner had he dropped the thought of Lustrow than he collided against him. They both looked up at the same time and barked at each other in a simultaneous way. "Are you blind?" "O ow? Were your eyes shut to see me on the way?" Lustrow yelled with his bulging vein to appear on the surface of his skin but Leoric remained calm to listen to his bullshit. "I am expecting you to say more than this, Alpha Lustrow Lochlain Silver! If my eyes were shut, where did you keep yours, in your bedroom or you mislaid it? Did you feed them to y
Lustrows row and Leoric stood in front of Alpha Leoric and Beta Morgan who were glaring at them while their head were hung down, this time as a sign if respect. They were in front of their father, they have to show some respect. "Why did you both think you were doing? Having fun or trying to prove your strength? Are you both this shameful?" Despite how angry Alpha Ailwyn was, he still kept his tranquility arrested. "Leoric, you are the eldest... even if this fight was ineluctable, you should have tried not to let hoyry anger over come your actions. I am so... so disappointed in you. This proves that the post of a pack ruler doesn't suit you." Beta Morgan added. "What could have caused this fight again? You know what was made of you both the last time you fought, did you forget about it or you didn't even care about what we would say or do? This is insole
"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
