I blinked once, then twice, then three times until I lost count. I could not believe it that it was Beta Morgan that was in front of me now. He was the one who held me captive for these days? Why would he keep me hostage for several days... I just couldn't believe my assumptions... This mustn't be him. I have always suspected that he was not we he pretended to be. "Beta Morgan?" I called him, my voice hoarse. My throat burned and felt sore. I was very thirsty and I wanted to quench it with a drink, I needed water. I was perspiring profusely. I looked all around the room I had been, it was empty and rough. I wasn't aware of this before, I was probably given a sedative hypnotic drug that made me fall asleep. I yawed and moved back on my buttock. "I am happy your eyes are still functioning to recognise me, I was here yesterday, but you were asleep... So I decided to visit you again today. How are you now? I hope you're enjoying yourself here." He smiled and rubbed my cheek wit
"Kevyra, you do not have to feel insecure or afraid anymore, investigation has started already. We will apprehend this person for sure, but hang on, how did this happen to you? I mean, did they come into the house to take you or they got you outside the house... Like, I don't understand it. Or was it too sudden?" Alpha Ailwyn asked me with a rough facial expression that betokened his confusion. He was least interested in my well being I thought, he wasn't bothered by my injuries because he knew it was going to heal, and even why should he be? He isn't my husband, I was just a daughter in law, it was his duty to capture those men that escaped . All he wanted to ensure was security of his own pack members. If Lustrow was like this, he would have been a better human... But know, his mentor, his sage, the one whom he looked up to, the one whom he trust had done this. I wonder how he was going to react if he learns about his true colors. I scanned around the room to go t
"Good day, young Luna." I was greeted from every corner of the mansion as I walked along the corridor. I knew I was attracting a lot of attention despite not putting on my perfume. I nodded in response smiling broadly at everyone and rubbing my skin as I walked past them. "Ooh! Look at her, she looks so gawky, lean and unhealthy... Yuck!" "Wait! She looks really terrible, as she contracted some disease or was she chopped this much when she was abducted? I feel goons are attracted to her somehow, what do you think? No wonder she has been refusing to let anyone into her room." "She needs to really take of herself to regain her beauty, she is looking good at all." I could hear the voices of the maids gossipping around me. I expected that though, I knew this was going to happen and that's why I had been refusing to come out of the room. Everyone must be chewing over why it is always me who get abducted and hurt all time in the packhouse, so I didn't let that discomm
Beta Morgan played his role so well and the seed of trust he had planted into everyone had grown so well to be a forest. I could say there was no one as deceptive as Beta Morgan. I never knew it would be this difficult to convey what Beta Morgan bad done to the whole pack. Seriously, I was really disappointed but it would never let that weigh me down, I motivated myself. "Whatever comes in now should be a blessing." And just like it was a devil I prayed to, my room's door opened and Lustrow came in with his anger face. Avoiding his gaze and ignoring his presence, I went to my dressing table and started doing something that would make me forget he was in, I was trimming my nails and polishing it. "You won't tell me you don't know I am in." I heard Lustrow said sharply and suddenly and I quickly turned to him. "In what way should I be concerned about that?" I responded abruptly and turned back to the mirror after seeing that he was not facing me also. I didn't know ho
My eyes were shut, my heart was hammering with great force in chest, my ribs was almost cracking. My heart was threatening to break open my chest to pop out. My breathing was coming out in pant as Morgan pressed his pale lips on mine. He had reached for my breast and he was squeezing it fondly as he kissed me more. I was helpless and I couldn't do anything. "Just your scent alone is making me get crazy and much more interested in you. I am really intoxicated by you. Please let us make this moment a memorable one." He said, rubbing his cold pointed nose up from my neck line to my face. "Please let go of me... Please Beta Morgan, let me go." I begged him but he wasn't letting me go. I gasped and threw my head to the back, clenched my fist and curled my toes as he brought his mouth down to my breast that appeared from the dress I wore. My body shook as I was struggling under him just to let free myself from he but he was too strong for me and he held me pinned to the wall, m
"Alpha Ailwyn, Leoric is right and Kevyra isn't telling a lie. I saw Morgan myself, forcing herself in Kevyra and Kevyra trying to free herself." By those winds sent forth in gusts, the wind that blows violently and the winds that spread clouds and those who bring criterion as justification or warning. Indeed what you are promised is to occur, so when the stars are obliterated and the heaven is opened and when the mountains are blown away, for what day was it postponed? The lone day of course, when you have to be alone and fight your own battle, fight for justification and independence. Good triumphs over bad but Beta Morgan kept winning all time. The time had come when what we are promised is to occur. If this was a dream or a nightmare, I would pray it end as soon as possible, it was neither sweet nor terrifying but I could feel my brain bouncing either relaxedly or exhaustedly. Was it Lisa saying this or someone else, I was going to doubt. She was crying bitterly while
Beta Morgan had been ousted totally from the pack house, he had left the house under Leoric's coercions but the whole pack had gone silent since then, even the servants like as if he was the one who had been giving them voice. That evening, the whole pack was bored and seemed lifeless. Every one mood was flying beneath their feet as if they were mourning Beta Morgan's death. Really, they all should be happy that they had finally found the source of all problems and eradicated the enemy of the pack but no, the opposite was happening, it seemed the leaves of the trust tree were not going to either and they still couldn't let go. There was an absolute world difference between my mood and the other members of the pack, every other person was down. I was happy I was able to eliminate Lustrow's influencer and able to avenge Karla and her family's death but what I couldn't bear was they way the servants were glaring at me each time I passed. They looked upset and angry at me for what I d
Harolden POV "Please, I need a ticket to Guadalajara as soon as possible, can I get one please... I really need to leave here now." Asked a barely there frail voice. It was mine. There was a tremor of impatience in the voice in which I spoke with and I knew that if I hadn't, the clerk might not attend to me as early as he should. Really, I was impatient but not as much as I acted. "You can give me a moment to check it young lady." The booking clerk said politely and stared back into the computer screen on his desk, typing some things into the computer and after a minute, he looked up. "Young lady, I don't know how in hurry you are but you have to stay back for some minutes. The train to Guadalajar will be taking off only in forty minutes, shall I make your schedule or you cannot wait for so long... I am sorry, that's the next moving line to that city." Wait more? No, not me. There was no way in which I could want to wait back, all I wanted was to get to Guadalaj
"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
