Ailey woke up at the infirmary the next morning and his wounds which he sustained from the fight were healed up, his body was fresh as new.“It sure feels good to be a wolf, no one can tell that I had wounds all over yesterday. It hurt so much yesterday thanks to that bastard called Prince but now I am fine and looking good again” he remarked as he checked himself out in the mirror.“Hope you are feeling good down there though? It seemed like Jaqen almost popped it off yesterday with the way he pressed his paw down and hard on it” Tope stated, entering the room with two cups of tea in his hands“You just had to rub that in right? You should stop reminding me of that horrible experience. I really want to strangle him anytime I remember it” Ailey whispered and grabbed his crotch area“The bastard was bent on popping off my balls yesterday. He was going at it as if he had a hidden grudge against me prior to the match. I just couldn’t believe the looks in his eyes, those looks were murder
Immediately Prince Falkor gave Ailey the go ahead to investigate on whoever possesses the witchcraft symbol in the pack, he went outside the palace where the men he brought along with him the day he wanted to kidnap Alexa were receiving treatments. Although they were all getting better, the scars and fractured bones were still healing so he knew it was a perfect case for him to get evidence.He went into the town and brought an experienced physician, a scholar and one of the elders who have lived long in the pack and knows virtually everything to the clinic where they were receiving treatment.“You all should take a look at the wounds and tell me what you think can be the cause” he said to them and they all started to check everyone with wounds in the room for a while.After the inspections, he asked them what they think and the physician stepped forward first“To my understanding and years of experience as a physician, there is no way to sustain this type of wounds during a wolf figh
After Beta Loras gave the go ahead for the arrest of Elora, he marched to the Alpha’s chamber to inform him of the situation on ground. He got to the chamber and met the Alpha reading at his table as usual.“Good evening my Alpha. I trust that you are doing well” he greeted with a bow“You haven’t stepped here ever since our last fight, I thought you don’t want to see me anymore and as you can see for yourself, I am doing well” the Alpha remarked, flipping the page of the book without looking up to see the Beta standing in front of him“I have been busy with things in the pack and even outside so I didn’t have the chance to come over” the Beta defended“So why are you here today? Are you here to pick a fight again?” Alpha Ren asked with his face still glued to the book“I am here to inform you that a witch is in the palace and you know what that means. We have to get rid of her as soon as possible” Beta Loras revealed and he finally raised his head to look at the Beta“A what? How com
Jaqen kept wandering in his imagination. He felt peace at where he was sitting at as he watched the birds chirp and fly in the clear sky. He kept walking along the peaceful garden at some point and he got to see more and more beautiful things on his way, which all fascinated him.“This is the heaven I have always dreamed of, a place so peaceful, full of joy, happiness and where one does not need to worry or be anxious about anything or even be weary of people” he said to himself with a bright smile on his face as he walked through.He had been in this trance ever since he was given the antidote, the happiness he was experiencing was the reason why he was breathing fine and he so much loved the place he had found himself, that was why he didn’t want to wake up. He kept exploring the garden to see many beautiful things.He kept hearing Elora and Derib voices near him but the urge to go back was not as high as his desire to stay. He didn’t feel like going back amidst those troubles and
Prince Jaqen knew that his father knew about everything and gave permission because he was threatened but he was still pissed at him. He was frustrated at his father was still so weak to protect him and himself at that stage but when he confronted his father, Alpha Ren told him that he shouldn’t mix love his with his journey if he wants to be successful in his plan but he refused flatly and told him that he will not be like him who failed at love.“You didn’t have to rub it in though, I also tried my best to protect what I owned and wanted but it didn’t work at the end of the day” Alpha Ren muttered“I have always been taking a step back because I didn’t want to cause trouble first but it seems they are not pleased with this my decision. It’s up to you father to show if you are still an Alpha or not, I will do as I seem fit” he added and went out of the room“Things are only about to get messier” Alpha Ren sighed as she closed his book and saw the scratch his claws made on the table“
Prince Jaqen saw Alexa running out with tears at the yard when he was going there after waking up and asked Derib to find out what was happening when he came back from lashing out on the Beta.Derib came back to inform him that Alexa was being threatened by her mother and brother to testify against Elora and he had captured the men guarding them under Ailey's order, he had previously ordered them to kill them off if she refuses to testify"He's a trashier scumbag than I imagined, how could he use her family against her? He is really desperate" Prince Jaqen muttered"Should I take her to them? I already took them to a safe place after securing them from Lord Ailey’s men" he asked"It seems she and Elora has some things to discuss, let them finish their session and bring them to meet me at the rear palace gate in the night so she can meet up with them before we send them off" Prince Jaqen ordered and Derib went to look for them.He finally saw them at the prison side and waited for them
Queen Eleanor was the Alpha’s favorite and true mate and he didn’t hide that fact from everyone because he made it so obvious. They had been lovers for years but due to power, Alpha Ren had to marry Luna Aravis first before finally bringing her in as the second wife.Luna Aravis gave birth to Prince Falkor who was three years older than Prince Jaqen, the son of Queen Eleanor. The celebration of his birth was indeed louder and merrier than that of Prince Falkor because the Alpha made sure to provide everything in excess.Both Princes were growing under the care of their mothers and they never had the chance to lay or relate much except when they were in an event that bring the two of them together.When Prince Jaqen clocked five, he began to experience an illness that nothing could cure because they didn’t know the cause to begin with. All the physicians far and wide came to examine him but no one could point out what exactly the issue was. He was getting weaker and thinner every day s
As the queen and Arya, Elora’s mother were taking and catching up with each other about her childhood memories while waiting for Prince Jaqen to wake up in the temple after the treatment, Arya told the queen what she saw during the ritual and how important it is for her to take the necessary steps.“You will need to take the Prince out of the palace for the time being. If he stays in the palace then he will be in great danger” Arya informed her“You mean he should not grow up in the palace? He is a Prince and he has to be in the pack to live his life as one. Why should he leave his home and also how am I to explain this to his father, the Alpha that he should live outside the palace? That is close to impossible, in fact it is not possible at all” she countered“Do you not know that there are sometimes when home is not a place of comfort but a grave? If you don’t want to waste his life then you have to take him out of the palace as soon as possible, without hesitation because his desti
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
