After the encounter with Elora where Jaqen found out that he had tried to rape her after shifting and also hurt her shoulder in the process, he instructed Derib to find out what he had ingested that night for him to behave that way“Something must have stimulated the action that night, I have been avoiding foods and things of all kind that can make me stay aroused since it’s the high heat period so I must have inhaled or digested something that can spike it” he said with anger“Do you want me to find out what it was?” Derib asked and he slammed his hand on the table“Do I need to say that separately? Of course you should find that out for me by all means” he growled and Derib stood up to get to work immediately“Since you visited the Luna’s chamber that evening before the incidence, there is a high possibility that you ingested something with the tea” Derib stated“What was strange is that my sense of smell couldn’t pick it because if it had picked it, I wouldn’t have taken a drop out
Prince Falkor was coming back from his session with Lady Gaia and entered the Prince’s quarters to see someone being ushered into Prince Jaqen’s room by him personally, he wondered who could visit the palace and his room at that moment and decided to come in unannounced.Derib had seen him but pretended not to when he came in as they were entering and when he detected his footsteps he quickly grabbed Elora and hid her behind the huge cupboard to both her and the Prince’s surprise before Prince Falkor could burst into the room.“What are you doing here?” Prince Jaqen blurt out in surprise only for Prince Falkor to burst into the room“Prince Falkor?” Jaqen blurt out in surprise“Why are you surprised to see me? Were you doing something bad?” Prince Falkor remarked scanning the room as he came in deeper to have his seat“What bad thing could I have been doing? You must think everyone is like you” he replied with a scoff“Then why were you taken aback when I came in?” Prince Falkor asked
He carried him straight to his room before letting her down to her feet, she quickly faced the other side of the room to avoid his gaze and he was surprised about why she was doing that“Why are you suddenly turning away?” he asked walking to have his seat“I’m not turning away, I am just staring at the antics displayed over there” she denied sharply“Ah ah antics! But they are over there” he replied pointing to the opposite direction which made her bit her lipsShe has been caught“Ah that’s true! They are over there, I got confused for a bit” she replied with a chuckle to cover her lie before turning to the said side“will you quit the act and get me my dinner? Do you want me to starve all day?” he cut through her display and she sharply bowed before rushing out of the room“Gosh, he didn’t have to make it more embarrassing” she stated closing her eyes before rushing to the kitchen“Should I go with you? It seems like you will have so much explanation to do if you go alone” Derib of
Prince Jaqen walked out of the Alpha’s chamber with so much fury and marched to his room while Derib just followed him without asking any questions. They got to the room and Prince Jaqen growled as he remembered everything Falkor was saying, he didn’t even know why he was so furious to that extent“I don’t know what got you angry but it will be better to calm down for now, you should learn how to control your temper” Derib advised“Not you again! I do as I see fit! I cannot be here and someone will be trampling on me as if I am a kid. I must have been lenient with everyone to make them think I am some incompetent fool” he lashed and Derib zipped his mouth, he was furious at that moment and there is nothing anyone can say to make him calm down“I will tell Elora to stay away for the time being, if you need anything you can let me know” Derib informed him and went out of the room leaving him alone to calm down when he’s readyThe day went by with him locking himself in the room and Deri
Although he was a werewolf, he didn’t have the privilege of hearing others’ thoughts unlike his family and he didn’t know why. The only thing he was good at was face reading, he had to learn the emotions of people since he couldn’t read their minds to get if they are thinking matches what they are sayingDerib brought him his food and noticed the confused look written on his face so he stopped to ask what was going on since he wasn’t outside when all the dramas were happening“You look down, is something the matter?” Derib asked standing in front of him“Elora knows about my condition” he replied and Derib gasped in shock“She knew? How did she know and for how long?” Derib fired questions“She knew about it the day I almost raped her but she didn’t talk, I only found out today when she came to my rescue, I met one of the ministers and he said something about some meetings held yesterday, I couldn’t read the diary because I woke up late and didn’t have enough to read before she comes.
Elora woke up early in the morning, thanks to the daily routine in the palace that was already part of her, she shifted and turned only to see Prince Jaqen sleeping beside her. She blinked severally before she could digest the fact and covered her mouth when it clearly registered in her brain“Why is he here? How come he’s sleeping here?” she thought and looked around only to see that she was the one sleeping in his room“Why am I here? How come? What happened?” she muttered as her mind raced like crazyShe remembered that she suddenly became extremely tired the previous night and collapsed into his arms. He must have brought her there to take care of her, she concluded and saw the towel beside her which confirm her suspicions.She gently stood up to leave the room quietly only for her to match her clothes and ended falling back behind, she wanted to dodge him since he was sleeping behind but failed, she yelped out loud as she came crashing but he was quick to stand up and hold her to
After the Prince separated from the troops and went his own way after the taking over of Elora’s town, he went to lodge in his usual inn where he had an encounter with the woman on the horse. As he settled down to sleep, he couldn’t sleep at all because he kept dreaming of Elora’s tears as she begged desperately for them to help her bury her mother, he could not get the image of her tears off his head and that was disturbing his sleep"Can I please bury my mother? she doesn't deserve to be in the open like this" Elora begged with tears and Jaqen stopped his horse to look back"Do we look like we have that time? will you move now or I should let the Beta have your head rolling on the floor alongside your mother?" Jaqen growled at her and the lightning struck the sky at that time to reveal his face"I will make sure to remember your face" Elora muttered as she managed to stand up and follow the soldiers with tears streaming down her faceThe scenario kept playing his head over and over
For the first ten minutes, she kept crying so hard that Derib didn’t even know what to do anymore because she wouldn’t stop no matter how he tried to comfort her so he left her there and just stood aside till she will be through with her mourning.“was this the reason why you appeared in my dreams and told me to help him? He was the one that got you covered” she remarked and sniffed before wiping her tears with one hand and then proceeded to sit beside the burial site“Isn’t the ground too hot? Or is it too cold since we are in the rainy season. I always wondered every day what would have happened to your body, were you found by someone and given a befitting burial? Are you still lying in your blood uncovered? Did the birds feed on you? What on earth happened to the dead body I left behind in so much hurry and pain? These were my thoughts everyday but seeing you here resting peacefully like this, I can be rest assured that you are fine now” she stated with a faint smile“Are you now h
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
