"You can emerge, Melnyk, it is safe now, my dear son," his father called out. With the environment calm, Melnyk jumped out from his hiding spot in the barn behind the horses. Seeing the coast was clear, he ran toward his beloved parents. Melnyk could still see the humans riding away from his village. He turned and hurried to his mother and father. Melnyk's mother embraced him and lifted him up. "You know you are always safe when we are around, so do not worry, young one," she reassured Melnyk. He could see the agony written across her beautiful face. Her slender frame caused her to drop Melnyk as he was growing rapidly. "Phew, you are heavy, Melnyk," she sighed. The inquisitive Melnyk had many questions weighing on his mind, frustrated as to why he always had to hide whenever the humans visited. "Why must I run every time the humans come? Why are we afraid of them?" he mustered the courage to ask his father. His average-looking werewolf father's gaze was fixed on his food, his fa
On one of the branches of the Mango tree, that stood a couple of meters from the main building to Frank’s palace was Melnyk’s favourite place in the small castle. He could stay there for hours and win by being bothered by reality. Even though, this curious prince had a lot that lingered on his mind. Melnyk will always ask the big questions like; "why are Werewolves afraid of humans when they are just humans? Why are the werewolf races divided? Among others; that sets the precedent for the rest of his life because he shall dedicate his life to finding the answers to the questions in his head. He made it incumbent on himself that he shall do whatever to promote the dominance of his people. “Melnyk, where are you?” his mother called out, bringing Melnyk back to reality from all his thoughts, through the leaves he could see his mother coming in his direction, looking wary as always. His loving mother had been trying so hard to protect her only Son from the reality of the world he was
It was exactly two weeks since Baku and his father visited Frank. They had made preparations for Frank and his family to come over to Karak. They had a lot to discuss in the beautiful city of Karak. The D-day had finally arrived. Since the last visit Melnyk was excited to the extent sleep dared not to get close to his eyes. The plan was to go to Karak to visit Alpha Lord Haimi but all that lingered in Melnyk’s mind was his friend, Baku. He recalled the heartwarming conversation he had with his friend the last time he visited; the whole conversation was fresh in Melnyk’s retentive memory. He recalled how he spoke about his woes and troubles to his newly found friend, noticing that they lived in a completely different world from his friend. Melnyk recalled what someone had told him about destiny and how everyone has a different life and he should never judge anyone until he walks in their shoes. All that was aside, for what truly mattered to Melnyk Right now was that he just wanted to s
A couple of years later, a lot had changed in both Melnyk and Baku’s lives, Melnyk thought about it, some were good memories, while most were the opposite, the latter side still gave Melnyk sleepless nights, but the top of it all was the passing away of his father. He thought of his father as a great warrior that restricted himself, he saw his father as someone who could conquer the world but choose to conquer only his mother’s heart. Coward wasn’t the best of words to choose while describing his father but Melnyk found himself settling for that even though deep down his heart. He was certain that his father was far from being a coward. Melnyk believed that to describe his father, he will have to find a word that settles between brave and coward, brave because he had tried numerous times to change what his forefathers had spoilt and a coward for he did not try his very best, even though in future he will come to regret ever thinking low of his father. Melnyk came to understand that h
The News about the demise of Lord Haimi spread around the wolves' land like wildfire. Lord Halalnik felt as if the world had come to an end for him. He felt like his brother had died, he always spoke highly about the late Lord Haimi. He was a special friend and they have been together for a long time. Long before they knew what the moon goddess had in plans for both of them. The king did not speak to any of his subordinates for some days. Lord Halalnik distanced himself from everybody as he locked himself in his room for a couple of days. Richard and Zafira were troubled for they had never seen their father in this situation of grief and agony. Their heart started to tremble when he sent for them, they mentioned nothing to each other as they walked through the long corridor. Getting to the brown magnificent door that stood in front of them, Richard summoned the courage to knock. It seemed Lord Halalnik was waiting for the both of them, he immediately called in from behind the door
"Because she does not care about me" The trees along their path could also hear Zafira's high-pitched voice that was directed towards her brother. Richard was hell-bent on trying to make her understand everything their mother did was because of love and affection. "But you use to be best friends before what happened?" He asked perplexed"She said I grew up" tears had begun to roll down Zafira's eyes. At this moment she realized how much she cared for her mother's validation. She wanted to conquer the world but what will she do if it was at the expense of her mother's love? "Zafira, can I be honest with you?" Richard turned back and looked towards his entourage that rode behind them."Yes brother" she cleaned the little droplet from her eyes"I do not know from other worlds, but in our society, there is nothing like an Alpha queen; all these fantasies you deal with are not based on the reality of this world. Why don't you make your plans based on reality?" Richard hel
Lord Halalnik forgot to close his door after his children had left him. He was still dwelling on his past, wondering where he was going to go fo from here. What will be his essence in this life as his best friend turned brother has left this cruel world? He sat down on the edge of his bed with his face buried in his hands, as his tears continued to roll down his cheeks, making his hands wet. He recalled how he had met Lord Haimi. It was just like every other regular day. He had gone to the Murky forest to hunt any animal he could find.Luckily, he had spotted two gazelles, peacefully grazing. He started to wonder if he was going to spoil the peace of the animals that had done him no wrong. "Are you thinking what I am thinking?" A voice said to him as he laid down close to him with his bow and arrow"I doubt not" Lord Halalnik looked at the strange face. He had never seen him before. He looked at his back to check if there were more people behind him."Don't worry, I was the
"Lord Halalnik extends his greetings,” Richard said as he shook hands with Baku. “Thank you” answered Baku with his eyes having a pinch of red in it “Be strong, he lived a fulfilling life” Melnyk uttered trying to console his childhood friend. Melnyk felt as if Lord Haimi was his father, for he had been close and part of the family when he had crossed over to be a werewolf.“Thank you very much, Brother” Baku answered as they hugged. “My condolence and sorry for your mighty loss” Zafira spoke for the first time. Melnyk stopped a little, and looked backwards at the soothing voice that had just spoken, he was mesmerized by the female that stood among men, he wondered why he was able to perceive her aura. He loved the way Zafira's aura sent him into oblivion for a split second. He paid no heed because her face was nothing he had ever seen, this was what the dictionary defined as beautiful. She had a round oval face that had a single dimple by the right side. “Thank you” Baku
Turstin and Melnyk had a fall out about Amelia's presence in the palace. Melnyk had said the worst things to his son, in front of Adelard which had provoked Turstin to the core. Turstin decided to visit a place that he had not visited kn a while, which was the pub. Everything wasn't normal and not now when the whole world feels like a burden to his chest. The liquor wasn't helping and not even the voices of the people in the pub. Everybody stared at him before they left and it was beginning to get on his nerves but who really cares, definitely not him and not now when his mind is filled with many more pressing issues. Turstin knew what he must do but for now, the bottle in his hand was much more appealing. "One more please" he yelled in between his vocals"Yes my Alpha" The bartender andwered The night was as shameful as his present state. Even lifting his legs was more painful than having a father who chose not to have any empathy towards another specie, the moon gave him unnecess
Amelia was still in the dark not knowing what was the faith of her baby, butTurstin had been there for her all this while and she realized that she cared so much for Turstin, she did. Amelia thought about how she couldn't afford to lose him. She believed her happiness lies in his hands, irrespective of all this Lydia's trauma. Amelia was about to go to meet Turstin in his room last night when she saw Lady Lydia knock on his door and later be drawn into his room. She felt heartbroken because she also wanted him beside her. Amelia wanted to sleep and see Turstin beside her. She had made up her mind that she loved him and right now she might be late because she was about to lose him because of destiny. Amelia couldn't help but to wish she had not found out about Karak's princess. Maybe if she had stayed in her room the other day, she would have never known of Lydia"Amelia, you still haven't eaten your food" Belle tapped Amelia's shoulder. Amelia hadn't even noticed her presence. "I a
Turstin had walked up to see Amelia, she was still on a bed resting, everyone was curious to know if her baby would survive. The Physician had told them that baby was still in there but she was not sure the baby was still alive she had concluded with a "Time will tell" Sorren, Cole and Turstin had vowed to take down Joe because he was the reason for all that had transpired. A few days after, Sorren and Turstin had finally found Joe, they wondered how he came lurking into Helores. His days were finally over, they thought "Don’t lie to you animal” Sorren Shouted at the man’s face. “You were their informer, and you better confess, because I want to hear the words from your mouth” He cupped his face up. A slap landed on the man. “Take a break” Turstin pulled Sorren off the man“What's your name?” Turstin smiled. “Jo... Joe is my name, my Alpha lord” “It's your grace you imbecile” Sorren shouted from the end of the room. “Look at me... Are you the one that informed Adelard about Amel
We do not choose our destiny, sometimes it comes knocking on our doors and we have no option but to open the doors for it. A young boy who grew up loving his father and admired him for who he was. The bond between the boy and his father grew stronger after his mother left home because she believed his father did not have much time for her, and he was found present in almost all the brothels that the bubbling city of Helores had to offer. This boy once asked his father why his mother always cried at night and he said"My boy, imagine how it would feel like to eat a single specific food for the rest of your life, How would you feel?""Angry and I will get tired of the food Father" "That is what your mother wants me to be doing for the rest of my life" the father had answered. Since then, the young boy felt no pity towards his mother every time he heard her late at night wailing as she waited for her husband to come home. She would smell other women's colognes on his body but wouldn't d
Maria, the Olga witch had been in the castle of Helores as she switched from one form to the other as she kept watch of her target, the Amelia that was in Coma. She had found a deserted room in the physician's chambers in the great castle, and that was where she had stayed for a couple of days. Her goal was one thing and one thing alone, and that was to kill the baby that Amelia was carrying. Though Maria had her doubts that the baby would survive she was not ready to take any chances, because if the baby survives, it might ruin her whole plan and which was to destroy the castle of Helores. She had thought deeply about everything she wanted to do, and she was very impressed with the way things were going according to her plan. The whole plan was visible; she would eliminate every blood related to the great sage. And watch from the side as to how werewolves will fight for power and eventually end up destroying everything. For that reason, Maria had decided to make the mission of killin
Adelard sat on his throne, along with the lycanthropes that were his guards. He could not stop smiling at the conversation he had with Lydia the other day. He came to realize that words were not enough to describe the amazing creature called Lydia. Apart from her mesmerizing beauty, Lydia was also an intriguing fellow to chat with and for that reason, Adelard had been replaying his conversation with Lydia since his last trip to Karak."Welcome to my humble abode, Your highness" she had said with a now "Thank you very much, princess Lydia" Adelard struggled to bring the words out of his mouth because he was already spellbound by her body figure"Father, you called for me," she said as she looked toward Lord Baku."Yes, I wanted you to meet the Alpha lord of Pikes and the son of Melnyk, the great sage," Lord Baku said."Besides this food is delicious," Adelard said as he took in a morsel of the food that was placed before him. Lydia smiled and sat opposite Adelard. The dining table was
"Why will Turstin be this reckless? How would he throw everything I have struggled for down the drain? He does not respect his mother to put a human in her chamber. It is so ridiculous that I never expected this from him. And to think that I even planned on making him the great sage. Is this how he would throw everything for a human? What kind of love is that? I am deeply disappointed in Turstin. I thought the essence of giving birth to children is so that we could rest, then why is all this happening? A mare Human in my palace! Peter a mare human" Melnyk continued to show his frustration on what his son had done, he has been quiet since the day he found out what his eldest son had done, and for that reason, Peter the Bulldog had waited for the great sage to rant about everything that was in his heart. Even though he had started to regret ever letting that happen. Melnyk had been emptying his heart for over an hour, and sometimes he repeated the same thing he had said earlier on. Pet
A day before, the city of Karak was visited by the Alpha lord of Pikes, Adelard. He had gotten a welcoming but it was not as grand as that of his brother. This was one of the things that Adelard struggled with. He was certain that his people and werewolves of other kingdoms do not give him the respect he deserved. Adelard was not to let that bother him because he had a goal in mind and when he finally becomes the great sage, other people and cities will bow to his name. As Adelard and his entourage walked into the city of pikes, he had only one thing on his mind and that was to see the princess of the great city of Karak. He hoped she reached the description that everyone had been hyping since he began to welcome Maria's suggestion of getting a mate. Alpha Lord Baku was the first to welcome the son of the great sage. As Adelard walked into the throne room, the first person he saw was Lord Baku he was majestically sitting on his throne. Lord Baku stood up from his chair and said "I we
Turstin and Sorren were finally allowed to see Amelia who was still in a coma. It brought tears and a heavy heart towards Turstin as he looked at the Human that he had feelings for; laying on the bed with a slim chance of her survival. He hated his brother because of what he had done to Amelia, the poor Human did not deserve what life was throwing at her. He wished there was a way he could alleviate her suffering, but he was also struggling, internally he believed that the spell the Olga witch had cast on him was beginning to take effect, he had intended to tell Amelia when they were away from the city of Helores but, as usual, his brother had ruined that moment again. Mentally, Turstin had a lot of things going on in his head but the major debacle was 'What will happen to Amelia when she finally wakes up?' All the people that were close to Amelia at the moment, decided to make a schedule on who's turn it was to look after Amelia It was agreed between all parties that, Turstin and
