2024-10-29 19:42:56Lord 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 only one that came""Okay?" Lord Halalnik still wore the strange face on."Ohh sorry, I am Haimi by name. I am from Karak" Lord Haimi extended his hands to shake his newly found friend"Halalnik from the City of Del" he shook the hand that was extended to him."So are we going to spare them or what?" Haimi asked"What do you think?" Halalnik asked"Let's let them go for today. I came here out of boredom. Besides, they will feed and be fatter, for next time""True" Halalnik smiled"Aren't you scared you wi encounter the humans here?""They will meet their death, if they try anything funny" they both stood up, dusted their body and walked back to their horses as they clung to their bows and arrows. They went on that day and talked for hours. They talked about a lot of things that troubled them. Like the loss to the human side that had just happened a couple of years ago. It was so annoying how the two of them had to live a completely different life from what they were given birth into. They brainstormed possible solutions out of the trouble but couldn't find any.That was the fun part about the two of them. Their friendship just kickstarted the moment they met each other. All their conversations flowed naturally, it was not forced like how many people conversed those days because of the tension that was in the air. It was fun to realize that they were all crown princes of dead kingdoms. After that day, both of them were certain that with each other by their side, the sky was their starting point."Lucky you, Haimi. Now you will be reunited with your Queen" Lord Halalnik raised his head and used his hands to clean the tears that were flowing from his eyes. Some had already settled on his lips.He smiled because he had already forgotten how salty a tear was. He looked at his wife as she stood by the door. He noticed her red eyes also. She was close to Lord Haimi also."Come sit beside me," he said. She walked into his room. Sat down beside him and laid on his shoulder. She said nothing, then she started to sob slowly. Lord Halalnik had no clue if it was the death of Lord Haimi or because of how weak he appeared, either way, he knew the love of life was broken."I am sorry I distanced myself away from you, Andriana. The world struck me with a mighty blow" he apologized"I know. That was why I did not bother you after all these days"what Andriana did not mention was that she came to his door since she heard of the death of his best friend. She hoped he would survive the blow, she prayed to the moon goddess that he won't break up and die from a heart attack. She could not imagine a world without the love of her life."I am grateful. I needed a break from the world. Everything was just moving super fast""I get it Halalnik. I do" she said as laid down on the side of his bed using his leg as a pillow"Thank you very much Andrianna" The place was quiet for a while, only tears flowing from both the husband and wife's cheeks."I heard you sent Zafira to Karak with Richard" Andriana chuckled"Her face beamed with excitement the moment I told her" Halalnik smiled also"Zafira took after you. That I am certain""She took after her mother. You also had that fire in you when I met you""Did I?" Andriana looked at her Husband's v-shaped chin that already had white beards on it"Oh my God. You were the first woman to participate in a duel in Karak""It was a crazy experience and I wished I won. I thought I had everything figured out""You won your first fight though""Out of ten? Thanks for the motivation besides I hate you""I love you also. Look at the brighter side. The man that won went on to become the champion until I beat him" Lord Halalnik smiled as he cleaned the tear from his face again""Yeah true. Besides, I have won you in a duel, making me the defending champion""You wouldn't let us have a dull anymore""Hell no, I am taking that victory till I go and meet the moon goddess" They all laughed hysterically."I was devastated after my loss. I wish Zafira will know how I felt. I don't want her to ever feel that way. She has to be ten times better than any man to survive in this world that she wants to live in" Adrianna said"Then get her equipped. Give her a reason to be like you. You might have given up but that doesn't mean she would fail also. Besides you might be surprised to see her win you in a duel. I have seen her fight Richard, to be honest, she is very good." Lord Halalnik said.Andrianna raised her head and looked at her husband."Win me?" She placed her hands on her chest in disbelief. "You know that is not possible" she added"Only one way to find out" Lord Halalnik smiled."True" She laid back on his legs. Lord Halalnik started to run his fingers through her hair."And Richard?" He asked"I am super proud of Richard. I see him being a better Alpha than you" she smiled"That is a fact I won't deny. I am also proud of him. To be honest, I am proud of all of them, Zafira will be a great Luna also" Andriana shook her head in belief. "I pray the moon goddess grants them journey mercies. Both through and fro" she prayed. Lord Halalnik looked down at his wife and said"Thank you. I am glad I have you in my life. I will forever appreciate you""Me too," she said and kissed the Alpha LordRelated chapters

"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
The Human Wolf CHAPTER NINE
Weeks after Melnyk was left perplexed in the unexpected meeting which was held at Baku’s palace. He was still spellbound on the reaction of the lady he had deemed beautiful and mesmerized by her character and to top it all she was smart and fierce.After much deliberation and restless nights, Melnyk had come down to the conclusion that he wanted her as his mate. He and his wolf had decided that she was more of everything they had wanted in a spouse and they are certain she has to be the one because of the strong aura that emanated from her body. Melnyk had made up his mind that he was going after her and just like the unification, he will go to any length and break all barriers to have what he desired. Melnyk thought about the possibility of having her as his mate and smiled at how beautiful their world will be. Melnyk’s sleepless nights continued because he had not yet come up with any tangible answer that will satisfy both Richard and Zafira. He needed an answer

The sun shined as Zafira woke up with a smile. There was a time when she prefered to sleep other than to be awake, but today was different. Her life had been different since she came back home from the condolence visit in Karak. When she was a little girl, Zafira always wondered if her parents could hear all her conversations whenever she spoke to Richard, and because she did not know the answer, she was always mindful of whatever she said to him, vowing to take most of her darkest secrets to the grave. After the journey, her mother started to act differently. Zafira made sure she remembered every detail of the conversation she had with her mother the moment she came back from Karak. Everything felt like a dream to her and if it was a dream, Zafira wanted it to be a memorable dream. Her mother was about to exit from the palace entrance with her entourage when they all met at the palace door. "Welcome my children" The Queen peeped from the curtain of her carriage"Mother, Wh

Days, after Melnyk had made up his mind to head towards the city of Del. Melnyk, had sent a messenger to inform Del's castle of his arrival and a response was sent to him, welcoming him wholeheartedly. There was a thought in Melnyk's mind that had wished that his request got declined so that he wouldn't have to face lord Halalnik. As soon as he got the response from his messenger. Melnyk began to prepare for the long journey ahead. The journey to the city of Del was farther than he had expected, he spent two days alongside his beta, Peter the bulldog and some guards who all rode on their horses. They rode fast during the daytime and walked when the moon stood magnificently in the sky. Melnyk was almost quiet throughout the journey, thanks to his Beta companion who tried to ease the tension in his heart. Peter knew what was at stake, he knew this journey was mightier than it appeared to the guards that rode beside them. “This journey will go down in history as ou

He was always late to meetings. This was the fourth time that humans were victims of being hijacked and killed. The first time was in the woods, when two lovers had gone there to seclude themselves from the world and have fun. They were already intimate when they were attacked by wolves. The woman had given in and accepted her faith while the man tried to run for his life. Unfortunately, the wolves finally caught up with him and reaped his body into pieces.

The Human king knew that the wolves were trying to send a message, and he believed it was time to settle everything bef
The Human Wolf CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Melnyk, Richard and Zafira had tirelessly struggled to come up with a plan to finish the humans. They hoped and prayed that the humans will be confident enough to come out and fight them in the open field, but unfortunately, their wish never saw the light of the day. They had situated spies almost everywhere in the kingdom of Helores, they had planned almost everything diligently, from provoking the humans by killing their species down to provoking them with a letter requesting for them to leave the city of Helores as they threatened the humans with war. Sitting down on a bench in front of the training ground in the castle of Del; Melnyk and Richard started to catch up on old times. They talked about how the whole family stopped to keep in touch with each other "Just imagine how life would have been if we continued to keep in touch like we use to do when we were young," Richard said "Would have been better than we are or maybe worse, either way, we would have bee

Drums, Flags, Soldiers, Archers, Friends, Guns, Families, Lycanthrope, Primordials, and Cannons were all present. Together they all held the great city of Helores at a siege. The gates of Helores were closed, it was going to be a herculean task to get into the city because of the water body that surrounded the city and the tall walls that guarded the great city of Helores. Executing their plans was not going to be easy but if they could pull it off, all of them would be extremely lucky as it will give the wolves a greater chance of winning the battle. The humans on the other hand were ready to defend the great city at all costs. They knew life would be different if they should lose the city of Helores. For that reason, they had banked on the walls and Sir Erik and his knights to protect them until the werewolves from Karak come to their rescue. King Desmond was certain that Baku would run to save her because he had made his daughter Astana write the letter, with her handwrit

"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.
