Zayn was awakened that morning by the voice of August. His guard sounded outside his chamber. He dragged his feet lazily from the bed to the metal door which he opened."My Prince," he bowed gently and the prince beckoned at him to come in."Why are you here?" Zayn inquired as he grabbed a bottle of wine and poured the content into a cup. He didn't know when he slept off after Mia left last night but he was sure August must have come around to see him sleeping. There was no way he haven't heard the trending rumours yet, maybe he should stop referring to it as rumour since it was true, 100%."I'm your guard, My Prince""I guess I forget that every day of my life" He gulped in the wine and let down an empty cup. It was true though, the two had grown fond of each other that he(Zayn) sometimes forget that August was a guard sworn to protect the prince with his life. The prince would sometimes joke that he was the one protecting August instead and they would over it. He was much like a br
....Present.... Zayn managed to stagger to his feet and leaned against a close tree so he wouldn't fall. He takes off his torn shirt revealing his broad chest and perfect abs. "Wolves existing in what they call a human world, shocking!" He let out the statement in pain and rage. Slowly, he wiped off the blood from on his stomach with the cloth and there was a fresh wound wide open on his skin. "Damn it!" Zayn cursed under his breath and made to tie but paused hearing incoming footsteps. He wondered if the lady alpha had changed her mind and was returning to kill him. "Who's there?" A soft feminine voice sounded and he turned to see a blonde appear at the scene with a shotgun she aimed at him. He exhaled in relief seeing that it was not the one he expected. The wounded alpha was just too weak to engage in another fight but whoever this stranger was, he believed she wouldn't blow off his head with the weapon she was wielding. "Easy..." He spoke but that did not make her let down
The claim was that Zayn was responsible, he had killed the king with a silver dagger that no one knew where he got in from and so was imprisoned for later judgment. She(Queen Rita) would have come a long time ago but needed to clear her head first and attend to royal issues since the council of elders had decided that she become the queen regent until a new decision is reached. Queen Rita after a deep silence spoke "Leave us" There was a surprised look on the face of the guard who decided to question her authority without thinking twice "Your grace, I was instructed not to take my eyes off him" She wasn't the queen anymore as the king was dead and he was arrogant enough to... "I guess you've been holed up down here for long to know what goes on in the kingdom. I'm the queen regent and if you dare raise your voice at me again... Your head will be hung on a spike before evening. I promise" There was intense anger in her eyes which you didn't need to see because it could also be n
"Mother, this supports my claim about Silas being responsible. Ivory has never run from the palace, she's a loyal omega. He definitely killed her and hid her body to clear traces that lead to him"Rita paused for a moment before speaking "Do you have any other witness to speak for you?" "No one. August knows I wouldn't do such but just as you said mother. It's not about people knowing me, It's the pieces of evidence and they're all against me right now" He was pained that he fell into his uncle's trap that easily. Silas plotting the king's murder was something he never thought about once. he was a loyal friend and brother of the king. "Mother, can you talk to the council on his behalf before the trial tomorrow? explain things to them, " Mia asked knowing that it wasn't possible but she just wanted to help her brother. "You know I can't, Mia. No one is allowed to talk to the council about the trial before it commences, only after. Whatever needs to be talked about will be done durin
"Framed? Zayn Hendrixson, we would proceed to give you a hearing before the council of elders and the people of baridoki", five minutes "That was the usual practice, they let the accused speak first before the witness and Zayn's case would be no different. Tyrrell had his seat among the other elders and tilt his head to hear the accused prince speak. Zayn took a deep breath and looked into the several eyes in the hall. All he could see was pure hatred for him and at that moment, his worst fears could become true. The people not believing him but this wasn't theirs to decide. It was the council of elder wolves. He quickly realized he had only five minutes to speak before he stopped. It was normally ten minutes and above, why was it different this time? "I thank you for allowing me to speak... To clear myself of my... the crime I'm accused of. First of all, if I wanted to kill the king, that's the most insane way to go..." There was loud murmuring from the crowd and he wasn't sure i
Zayn was dragged out to the waiting four-wheeled carriage that had ropes connected to two horses. The coachman was already on his seat and turned to see the warriors bring the banished prince. "We can't stay here for long, there's an angry crowd behind" One of the warriors informed the coachman who nodded and helped to put Zayn in the carriage where he sat on a fine oak seat that was decorated with gold. Two warriors sat at opposite sides with him at the centre and the coachman ahead then wriggled the ropes notifying the horses to move. They did obey and with their pulling strength, the carriage was wheeled away at a rough but quick pace.Zayn shut his eyes tightly trying to cope with the pictures that his brain was bringing up. He could see his mother in pain again asking to see her son. The council was bribed and they did not even try to hide it. A sentence was passed on him without proper consideration of the facts. No witness was even brought up to support the accusations that
There was Zayn in the old 1979 Chevrolet C10 truck that was been driven on the deserted tarred road by Stephen Jones who handled the wheel expertly.Stephen Jones was the man who rescued him from the ocean two days ago. He(Zayn) had mysteriously found himself in the waters after falling off the cliff with a stab injury.The compassionate man had made sure to take care of the nasty wound and stitched him up. Zayn wasn't healing at that time because it was inflicted by silver, the weapon that was capable of killing a werewolf like him. Here he was now in a new world that was completely different from his. He looked out of the window to see the architectural buildings around and that which amazed him the most was the skyscrapers. Stephen had taken Zayn into his house to live with him since he claimed he didn't remember anything but that was Zayn's lie to save himself from questions that could alarm the man that he was different. The Banished prince knew that he was in a place that wa
It was a warm afternoon in the lonely tarred road where only a Jeep Grand Cherokee Suv was moving at high speed towards the glass villa that was situated at the raised mountainous area surrounded by thick trees that served as shades from the sun. The Suv came to halt in front of the remote-controlled electric gate and soon it gave way letting the vehicle drive into the luxurious environment that was void of noise. "Stop here" A feminine voice sounded from instead the Jeep Grand Cherokee which then stopped immediately and the gates behind closed. The right door of the Suv pushed open letting out Alpha Allegra who was in a black trench coat that was unbutton. She took in a deep breath with her narrow nostril and soon opened her eyelid revealing her blue-coloured eyes that was surrounded by the thick eyelashes. The other door pushed open revealing a light skinned middle-aged man in an oversized coat carrying a shopping bag in his hand. That was Shane, Alpha Allegra's beta who was clos
The double wooden door of the kingdom hall was pulled open by the omega guards at the entrance revealing Allegra who had a white veil over her head.She was dressed in a Queen's apparel and is led down the aisle by no other person than her very father, Cain; who had his royal garment on him as well. This was a day she never imagined would come. Lead down the aisle by the very man who banished and tried to have her killed, that was years ago. Just a day after the battle of Baridoki, he arrived with his mother. Allegra's grandmother. To apologize and ask for forgiveness for being damn ignorant and letting himself be deceived by the elders of his kingdom. The only reason she accepted was the truth he brought.She was tied to the throne by the spirits that be already and when he(Cain) dies, she becomes the queen of Dakota but now that she is marked, her kingdom becomes her mate's.Meaning, the two kingdoms finally get to merge as one.Not an alliance. As wolves in one kingdom bonded
The proud smirk at the corners of Aurora's lips widened as she clarified. "Come to think of it, only a foolish woman would make a man come in her when she's unsure of her time of the month. I know the time I should avoid fvcking and also the time I should fvck like the world is coming to an end. I told August that, so when he finds you alive, it would motivate you to return. I got a child, I got a baby, I want to see my baby. Grandmother normally says a father's love for a child is amazing but not my father's. He's the opposite "Allegra's jaw dropped and she only managed to say. "You're lying, ain't you? You're trying to make me feel happy like you always do. We would take responsibility for your child, Aurora"She scoffed and shook her head. "Maybe my future child. I'm serious, I got no little bastard dwelling within me. Take a look for yourselves.." Aurora tugged her cloth upwards revealing her stomach and Allegra was quick to cover Zayn's eyes with her hand.Aurora's stomach look
Zayn waved his hand for a moment and the joyous wolves and silenced was restored. He continued calmly, "I am your new king and will restore this kingdom to what it always was. Trust me. I will leave to celebrate and then I will address the kingdom proper by tomorrow"'Can I pass Silas' sentence now? ' His mother's voice sounded and he nodded without turning back."One more thing, the one who killed our king and framed me for it to become the fake king will pass through judgment, now" He announced to them and the noise from the wolves increased as they chant with one voice. "Long live the king!"He took a step back and Rita took his position to address the wolves of the kingdom. Silence ensured for a moment when they saw her. She had spoken with Elder Maddox before Zayn showed up and he told the people who now loved her for the things she had done for the family and the kingdom. Nothing spread faster than rumours and gossip in the kingdom of Baridoki. They moved at the speed of li
Zayn without a single emotion on his face commanded the warriors of the kingdom, "Kill them all except the king, he's mine, and the Dohara warriors outside the kingdom, destroy them all. I have an army coming through the gates, join forces with them""Your command we will execute, Your Grace"Without further warning, the warriors troop away from the hallway to outside the palace, leaving twenty behind to rush the warriors with Daman.Daman stepped away from his wolves to face Zayn who stared him dead in the eyes.The Doharis in the throne room was overwhelmed and subdued in no time, stabbing their claws into the thrusts of the enemies before leaving to join the others outside.Zayn turned to his mother and nodded. "Leave Mother, this is not something you would want to see"The elders and the King's guard quickly helped to escort Rita out of the palace room."I'm impressed by your aura" Daman cleared his throat as he moved slowly towards Zayn with his hands behind him."I'm not here to
A black hole appeared on the roof of the palace and Zayn stepped out with Kimberly behind him.They went low and crawled to the end to see the warriors of Doharis arranged up in various lines to form several squares of them.He was careful not to stretch longer and draw their attention to him.Zayn breathed out and turned to Kimberly. "You see this? Take the message to Allegra. She begins marching our people to the kingdom. I'll have the warriors join the fight"She asked him calmly, "Are you sure about this?""Is the only way. I would have wanted to help with the fighting and end all this in the twinkle of an eye but the sudden appearance of a witch would raise questions from other kingdoms and they'll fear Baridoki might use the witch to conquer kingdoms. Witches are feared and having one by our side will make kingdoms rise against us. What we need in the wolf world right now is peace "She nodded and scratched the bridge of her nose. " I understand. This I've done is good for me. I
Cold shivers ran down her spine and hot tears refilled her eyes in the instant.The voice brought back memories of Modrich who had quite a similar voice as his son.She missed him and knew life would never be the same without him but she had a son.Zayn. Zayn would take over Modrich's throne and that was just what she needed for happiness to be restored to her life.And nothing would stop his ascension. She was sure of it.The spirits are with Zayn and they would fight with him to cease power from Silas.He had exact power. What he wields was a fake authority to control the army of Baridoki but it's about to change.The one and only true king was here.'Son..' She responded and bit her lower lip. 'I'm back, Mother. I'll fix everything, I promise' She coughed into her open palm and beamed a smile. 'I know, and we'll be waiting for you 'Are you safe? Mother. Right now, are you?' 'Worry more about coming down here Son, I'll take care of myself. I was going to talk the kingdom wolves i
After the last wolf in Zayn's pack went through the opening at the seashore, Zayn turned to Amanda who had her hands behind and cleared his throat."You've done enough for me. Thank you"Amanda forced a smile and pushed her hair off her shoulder. "There's no need for that. You deserve all the help you need to reclaim your stolen mandate. And um, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Allegra"Zayn sniffed and bit his lower lip. "Yeah. Shitty past catching up with me. I'll return to um, talk things with her. I just need to take care of my kingdom for now""It's not about your shitty past anymore. It's the future. You're a good man and I believe she has seen that and will come around her mind""I hope so" Zayn responded and Amanda stretched her hand. "Nice meeting you, Prince Zayn"They shook hands before she took steps back to oversee them leaving through the opening she had created.The opening connected to the other world and so the forbidden forest could be seen like a mov
A new form of rage coursed through Zayn's veins after August finished speaking.Silas had gone off the line completely and his mother is suffering so much pain than he imagine.They were right, he had to go right now but then there's Allegra who's back to the woman she formally was.Zayn was left to choose between his kingdom and her.He hated the position he was trapped in and knows fully well his decision would determine the future.This wasn't something easy.One way or another, there was no avoiding it, he had to go for one.'I'll be with you now, August' He closed the mind-link and opened another with the pack's beta, 'Prepare the wolves to march into my world... Prepare their minds for the war we're about to walk into ''We await your presence, Alpha. I did the counting as you asked and the recruited rogues and loners have increased our number drastically, we're talking about a thousand and one'Zayn's jaw dropped in surprise. He wasn't expecting a such spike in the number.Anyw
Zayn came to stop in front of Allegra's bedroom door and exhaled with eyes shut before knocking on the door.There was no response from her and that caused him to rest his head against the wall.Just when he thought he had everything, Aurora came like fvcking wave to ruin it all.He internally cursed the day he met her.He cursed his d¡ck for choosing to stick itself into a cursed hole.It wasn't exactly the dude's fault.It's been him. It's been fvcking him the entire time.Aurora should never have come into his life in the first place..."Allegra, just listen to me, okay?" Zayn tried to open the door but it was locked.A part of him wanted to take down the door so he could have the conversation with her but it wasn't an option."Go away, Zayn. Go and save your kingdom, you're wasting your time down here. I have nothing to lose" Her voice sounded from behind the door.Low, yet with traces of pain and disappointment.She was already in line to be with even if it costs her the pack, he
