Prince Jaqen had sent Derib to survey the site to be used for the annual royal hunting so he will check if there are any abnormalities or trap since he is much aware that he has enemies who might want to use that moment as an opportunity to take his life and he is not ready to die in the hands of any of them. He was standing at the far end of the corridor where he was waiting for Derib’s return who finally returned to give him the feedback about the place “How was the place? Did you find anything suspicious over there?” he asked “there was nothing suspicious, I looked around everywhere but found nothing that can pose a threat to you or anyone in general” Derib reported “That’s good, we will still move with caution but it’s good that the site is clear for now at least” he commented She was coming back from the kitchen on the last night of the memorial when she heard someone talking at the end of the corridor. The figure was tall and his garment was flowing with his hair packed into
The Alpha went back to his seat with smile plastered on his face and the bowl of food in his hand, he settled down on the chair and extended his hands to the Beta who was sitting beside him “You should have a taste of this wonderful combo” he said to him and the Beta proceeded to take a spoonful of the drink and cherry balls “This is truly magical like you have said my king” Beta Loras acknowledged with a smile “Wow, she must have made something wonderful for both the Alpha and the Beta to acknowledge the drink like that” Ore marveled “I know right, they are not even talking about other’s dishes” Alexa supported and clapped for Elora quietly before she glanced at their side and they both gave her a thumb off which she reacted to with a wide smile. She returned to her group in happiness and they were all clapping for her and giving her thumb ups which she returned with a smile before her eyes landed on Prince Jaqen who just smiled briefly without showing his teeth and that shocked
Beta Loras was the first to come back to the tent with two deer which he caught, Prince Falkor came next with an antelope and deer, Lady Gaia came back with a deer and birds, the Luna with an antelope and squirrel and finally the Alpha with a big raccoon and rabbits“Where is the second Prince?” the alpha asked looking around“Judging by the way he’s not yet back, he must still be looking for games in the forest” Prince Falkor remarked with a smirk“I know right? He has always been early here every year, I wonder what happened this year” Lady Gaia supported“He should get his ass here instead of trying to force himself to bring a game home, it’s not like we have all day and it is okay to lose sometimes” Luna Aravis remarked“it’s not like he’s too late, let’s just wait for him to come back safely” the Beta said trying to calm them downThey waited for a while but they didn’t show up because it was then they were fighting their way with the boar, the royals were getting impatient“I se
The party came to an end and everyone retired to their tent but Lady Gaia could not get the thought of Elora out of her head, she was pissed that the Alpha had favored something about her also coupled with the previous humiliation she received from Prince Jaqen when she was being beaten“She gets on my nerves so much these days and that is making me annoyed no matter how I think about it, I should just wipe out of the earth’s surface as soon as possible” she muttered to herself as she rolled on her bed before springing up suddenly at a point“Do we have any fruit in this forest? Did you sight any fruit tree around?” she asked the maid closer to her“Yes my lady, we have the tangerine tree in the forest but if you are in need of some, we can get for you at the storage tent since it’s dark already” the maid replied and she gave out an evil laugh“Don’t worry about getting me some from the storage, I suddenly crave for fresh ones” she replied and the maid opened her mouth in shock“My la
Derib was a light sleeper but strangely that night he slept so much that he forgot to check on the Prince who had bet his hope on him that he will soon find out that he was missing but that was not the case, he was snoring!Elora went inside his tent to wake him up and after several attempt he was finally awake when she gave him a stinging slap on his back“wake up! Wake up! The Prince is in danger!” she said alerting him“what do you mean the Prince is in danger? He is sleeping in his tent, where did you see something that absurd” he muttered sleepily but another stinging slap at the back of his neck woke him up fully“You didn’t have to slap me like that!” he yelled rubbing his neck with pain but Elora glared at him“Can you see how painful it is now?” she mutteredShe had purposely given him that slap because he was starting to annoy her with his sleepy attitude and also she needed to take her revenge of him beating her“will you wake up now and follow me? The Prince is in danger”
Ore was the first to wake up in the tent when the guards started moving around in the morning, she sat up, rubbed her eyes and looked around to check on her friends but only one was sleeping peacefully beside her, another was missing“Where did she go to this early morning?” she muttered to herself and rose up from the blanket with a loud yawn as she heads outside the tentShe searched for her everywhere but couldn’t find her and that was already getting her anxious and worked up“Where could she have gone to without telling anyone? Did she wander into the forest?” Ore wondered as she head back to the tent only to see her coming out of the second Prince’s tent.Meanwhile, Prince Jaqen finally opened his eyes to see Elora sleeping beside his bed, he was shocked at first because he never expected anyone to be in his tent not to talk of sleeping so close to himHe managed to rise up from his lying position only for his wound to hurt, he had to squeeze his lips together to prevent him fro
Alexa followed the maid to the Luna’s quarters and she met her already waiting for her in a dance outfit“Welcome my dear, I sent for you to discuss something with you so don’t panic” she stated as sighted her scared face“Something to discuss with me?” Alexa muttered trying hard not to look at her face“Yes, don’t be afraid I just want you to help me with that your dance steps you did during the hunt” She replied with a smile“The dance steps I did during the hunt? I’m sorry Luna but I can’t even remember them because my body moved the way it wanted” Alexa replied cleaning her sweating hand“Don’t worry about that, just teach me how to dance in general. I know that I am a good dancer but you seems to be an extraordinary dancer so I want to learn from you” the Luna countered with a smile and she knew she had no choice“Bring her the clothes!” Luna Aravis instructed and the maids came forward with a set of clothes that looks like that of the Luna“Change into that and let’s start” Luna
She stared at his eyes continuously as she tried to get the feeling she was experiencing that moment“What on earth is this feeling?” she thought as her mind raced“Are you okay?” he asked holding her waist tightly“Yes I a..m ok..aayy” she managed to stutter and removed his hands from her waist suddenly without standing properly which made her fell on her behind“hey, what’s wrong with you? Are you sure you are okay?” He asked moving closer“I am fine, don’t come closer” she shouted holding her hand up to stop him“I should help you up” he wanted to say but she cuts him short“I can stand by myself” she said quickly standing to her feet“I forgot that I have to be at the kitchen by now, I will come back later” she said and ran out of the infirmary“Why is she behaving that way? Is she really okay?” he muttered as he watched her run away like a chickenShe ran to the kitchen thinking all day about what happened between her and Tope so ended up zoning out often during work“Are you oka
Alpha Jaqen and Derib set out to make plans to find Falkor wherever he might have ran to before he starts to cause havoc on the pack. “Do you think we can find out their hideouts?” he asked Derib “The last time I visited the hideout, they were talking about how the silver they were making will be the last batch and they will be joining others” Derib revealed “So do you think we can find the others? Don’t you think we should plant a spy amidst them?” he asked tapping his leg on the floor anxiously “If you want, I can go in myself to get any information you need” Derib offered “Your face is known by almost everyone, won’t you get caught at this rate?” he asked “I just have to be careful and everything will work out because it’s not like they can know every of their soldiers” Derib said and Alpha Jaqen sighed before Obi came in “The famine has started, everyone has started lamenting for food. What should we do about the storage?” Obi asked as he brought the ledgers the late Alpha h
The elders set an emergency meeting after the whole fight in the palace and they discussed about what to do about the rebels and the punishments to dish out according to their crimes. “I cannot believe something like this happened in this palace, we don’t even know what the truth is anymore. This is shocking, tiring and exhausting, it happened so suddenly that I can’t even wrap my head around it” Elder Kinn said with a heavy sigh “I am glad the Alpha told us all these before he died, imagine if we didn’t find out and they killed the real Prince of the pack. We would have had to deal with the tyranny of the Alpha, Luna and Beta and that will cause a great havoc on the pack” Elder Simeon added “We are not sure if Prince Falkor is not a real Alpha as claimed, we have to be sure before we point fingers and judge. I mean we never can tell because what if the late Alpha was mistaken?” Elder Fang countered “So are you saying the Alpha lied to make us disqualify the first Prince? What abou
As Elora was busy waiting for Jaqen to return from his trip, the goddess knew that her time to leave Elora was near and the fight for the throne will begin soon since both Princes will be on each other’s neck when Prince Jaqen returns from the trip of going to find a shaman that will heal the Alpha who is terribly sick.The goddess also knew that Prince Jaqen can never find a shaman no matter how he tries because after the death of Elora’s mother, Arya, the goddess that was supposed to possess any shaman and give them power was residing in Elora itself and it had refused to unveil itself because of Elora’s safety and the promise she was supposed to fulfil on her behalf.The main reason why Elora was the one chosen to be the one to help Prince Jaqen was that when Arya was still young and living in the same place with Queen Eleanor, Jaqen’s mother, Arya got into trouble with one of the chiefs living in the town one night.Since Arya was a beautiful woman, she was loved by many men in th
Prince Falkor told the head maid that the straws in the farm at the yard should be picked as early as possible and she should assign some maids to them quickly.“My Alpha, the maids are extremely busy trying to restore the palace to its normal state because everything has been disorganized because of the ceremony that was just concluded” The head maid replied“You mean all the maids in the palace are working right now?” he asked raising his brows“Yes My Alpha, they are all occupied with one thing or the other so can you wait a little bit?” she said politely“I heard Jaqen is out of the palace, why is his maid not joining others to work?” he asked“He had ordered for his maid to stay at his room till he comes back and that means she cannot work until he commands her to join others because she is his personal maid and that is allowed according to the rules of the palace” she explained“I am the Alpha here, the leader of the pack so I have the power to make her work right?” he said with
THE PREVIOUS NIGHTAfter Elora left the Alpha’s chamber, the king managed to visit Prince Jaqen’s chamber in the midnight without anyone knowing. He had been feeling so weak that he knew that he would die at any moment from now so he wanted to finish everything before it was too late.“I didn’t expect you would visit me so late in the night, you should have called me over to your chamber instead of coming over here since you are so sick” he said as he helped him have his seat“It’s not like you will come at your own free will if I called you over and also my visit here is something that no one must find out so don’t bother to bicker, I want my discussion with you tonight to be fast as soon as possible” Alpha Ren remarked“What brought you here this late at night? I hope it’s nothing much though” he asked as he settled in front of him“Jaqen, before I start anything I want to ask you a very important question and I want you to be sincere with me. It is okay to say your mind because I j
The Luna once heard a ridiculous rumor that Lady Gaia and Prince Falkor were having affairs and she decided to look into it. She finally confirmed it but decided to leave them so she would be able to use it against them someday. When she found out that she was pregnant from her spy, she decided the day for usage is nearer and planned to disgrace her but after thinking it through, she knew that it will affect her son, Prince Falkor one way or the other so she quit the idea and was looking for how to punish her until she heard she would be leaving the palace.She invited the Beta and told him her plan“So what do you plan on doing? It’s not like she will allow herself to be disgraced and that is the reason why she’s leaving the palace” Beta Loras remarked“I understand that she wants to give birth to the baby outside the palace and then come back as if nothing happened. The Alpha is already so weak and sick, it means the fight for the throne will soon start. I cannot allow anything to b
For three months, Lady Gaia was playing a safe game of hiding her pregnancy but it was not easy for her since the symptoms were very bad and evident in her. She thought about aborting the baby but she was also happy the same time that she will be giving birth for the first time in her life.“This is the very first time I will be a mother, I cannot abort this pregnancy” she muttered to herself as she rubbed her bellyAfter seeing how her belly was slightly protruding and the pregnancy was at the verge of showing forth, she planned to leave the palace and go back to her mother. She planned to stay there till she gives birth and then leave the child there. She thought about informing Prince Falkor but with his recent attitudes towards her, she swat the thoughts away and just decided to disguise.She got up the next morning and went to visit the Alpha who was still on his bed“It has been a long time I saw you walking around the palace so I wondered what was wrong” she said as she moved c
Elora left the room and Derib moved closer to inform Prince Jaqen of what was going on at the secret hideout of Beta Loras. He had gone to survey again during the time the Prince and Elora were busy talking about themselves.“I went back to the site again and found something interesting” Derib started“You went back? You didn’t even tell me you were going” Prince Jaqen questioned“I went back when you both were talking and I happened to find out something interesting” Derib said“Something interesting? What is that?” Prince Jaqen asked and motioned for him to come closer and have his seatDerib sat down opposite to Prince Jaqen and adjusted his clothes before he proceeded with informing him about what he saw at the hideout“I happened to see them transporting the silver they stored over time and followed them only to find the final piece to our puzzle” he added“The final piece to our puzzle? Don’t you think it’s time for you to speak in a language that I can understand?” Prince Jaqen
Derib didn’t mention anything about the letter to him again since he already declined the invitation flatly and if he tried to talk him into it, he will flare up which will only cause unnecessary tension.Even though Prince Jaqen didn’t talk about the letter, he secretly wanted to go but his pride was too important for him so he decided to just fight the feeling off. He picked up his sword and went for training with his master at the yard.He got there and found him sitting at the step by the right side and walked up to him to notify him of his presence“Have your seat, let us discuss some things before we start practice for today” his master said and he took his seat beside him“Do you like living here? It is not too cornering and frustrating for you?” his master asked facing him“Cornering and frustrating as how?” he asked to be sure of the answer to give“I mean you don’t have any friends here except your bodyguards and the other monks. You are a Prince but you are not living like
