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
When Leoric and Silene had made themselves comfortable around the woman and also gave her the opportunity to speak, the woman decided to tell all of her tragic story to the two of them, she felt secured around them so, She was ready to tell them without leaving any details out. "I will like you both to clench your fist and close your eyes a bit." The woman ordered them while sleeping on Silene's lap. It wasn't that she speaking as normally as they were, but her voice could still be heard because she was a very strong woman. Leoric wanted to object but Silene signaled to him to do as she said. The duo did as the woman said and they began to see the attachments as she wanted them to. When the sun went down, Eudora dressed beautifully and waited for him to come. He caught her attention as soon as he walked into the gazebo. He was handsome, she couldn't deny it but that ev
Alpha Phenrix began to have extra marital affair with Eudora. Eudora finally accepted after so many persuasions, she began to visit him some where out of the pack where no one would see them and also, Alpha Phenrix had been financially helpful to Silver pack. Alpha Phenrix provided theml pack many stuffs, especially Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa but it never seemed enough for the two... They were greedy as well as selfish... They wanted everything to themselves and they expected Eudora to do as they said. They wanted Eudora to tell so many lies to Alpha Ailwyn so that their allowances would be higher but Eudora maintained her relationship as she knew what she was benefitting from him. The relationship between Alpha Phenrix and Eudora's had been going on very smoothly until that particular day when she was completely brainwashed by her brother in law, Alpha Ailwyn and her sister, Luna Dessa. They were able to influence and blackmail her emotionally. That very day, Eudora was busy showi
Dressing up as beautifully as she wished, Eudora left home and went to meet Phenrix at where they concluded to meet that day. Normally, Eudora was some one who did things in elegant way but today, she was a bit uncomfortable and less courageous. She was still pondering on what she was asked to do, her face looked gloomy but she tried hiding it. "Oh my god, you look too beautiful today dear." Phenrix gave her a tight hug when he saw her and she reciprocated his gesture. "Thank you! You're not looking bad either." The both chuckled. "But Eudora, why did you keep me waiting here? We already finalised on time and here you are, thirty minutes late." He raised his brow and crossed his arm. Eudora's heart pounded, again to remembering her mission. Her heart throbbed and her palm began to sweat. &nb
Dessa's eyes were blood red, one would know she had been crying as she came out of the room. People were so surprised when they saw her because it was the first time they would see her like that. Some of the elders who could speak to her rush to her and sat her down to ask her what the problem was. "Luna Dessa, what is the issue? You look pale, why are you crying?" One of them asked her. "My sister, Eudora is dead." She said and broke into tears again. Everyone was so shocked when they heard that, people who overheard rushed to her and stooped beside her. "Luna? Aunt Eudora is dead?" There were crowd of crying people, some could not even cry while some just stumped their feet heavily. One would see that everyone felt it. It was a very bad day for everyone. This was what Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa wanted, everyone had believed that Eudora was truly dead. Everyone saw her the day she returned home bloodied, but didn't know how it was so they concluded that th
Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa's planned worked out perfectly well, Luna Dessa and Alpha Ailwyn were able to blackmail Alpha Phenrix successfully without any problems, it was as though the goddess was in their favor while doing the wrong thing. Just as they knew Alpha Phenrix was so much of his reputation and he wouldn't allow anything, especially an accusation like that to tarnish his reputable image. Luna Dessa and Alpha Ailwyn organized a fake burial for Eudora so that people would believe that she was truly dead. The whole thing was so easy for them because they now had money to fund everything, transports, fake proofs and other things they needed that would aid them in getting more profits. But despite all of these, they were not satisfied, they wanted more money and accessories from him and they kept on blackmailing him. Yes! Alpha Phenrix was very wealthy and it would be quite difficult for people to know that
Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa became very rich after taking all Phenrix had from him. They took over Phenrix's companies and properties. They now lived in a very huge pack-house just the way they wished, meanwhile Eudora was kept in hiding throughout the time, she was made to live in a private chamber where no one would go to. At that time, Eudora had a little boy of four year old named Leoric. He was the son of Alpha Ailwyn's friend, Alpha Caraghn, who was murdered by Ailwyn because of his success but Ailwyn made everyone believe that Alpha Caraghn was involved in an accident and died. Eudora had to accept her fate and became Alpha Caraghn's widower. Phenrix on the other hand was completely penniless, he was left with nothing... Dessa and Ailwyn didn't give him a chance to own a property apart from his pack house and whenever people will asked him how all of that happened, he would tell them he didn't know. People investigated the whole thing, they discovered that Phenrix sold the wh
I shot my eyes open with a gasp as if someone punched my soul back into my body. I took a few deep breath and looked up at Leoric who was also trying to catch his breath. Leoric's eyes were stung with tears but I was already crying, tears welled down my eyes. As in, I was whooping as I cried uncontrollably. Whatever just happened to me or us a few minutes ago I couldn't understand it. I was weak and utterly confused. "Why are you crying daughter?" Eudora asked me. It was so sad and I couldn't help myself. Whatever I saw was so tragic, all the pains she had to pass through, just so that she could give her son a standard living. It was so painful to see all of that. The more I recalled the more the urge to cry increased. "Ma'am, I need you to clarify a few things for me, please." Leoric said, his voice teary but didn't let his emotion
"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
