'Alexa, thank you for your help', Hector said, during dinner. 'I was able to meet with heads of the clans of witches and vampire'.'Did it go well?' she asked, trying to avoid looking at Henry. She had looked up twice now, only to find him staring at her and it was annoying.'It did', Hector answered. ' and they all agreed that was the tight decision!' Then looking round at all the faces at the table, he announced, excitedly like a little child, 'They are ready to end this feud as we are!''That's great news!' Clementine said. Spark nodded in approval. All smiled, their faces happyAndrew looked at Clementine and not for the first time, regretted listening to his father. He was very happy now about the pact the three species and clans were going to make publicly. If the witches and werewolves had been in good terms, then maybe, he would have sought help from one long ago and wouldn't have had to attempt killing his wife and son. He had tried that afternoon to speak to his wife. Clemen
'I wish to speak with you!' Alexa said to Hector after their meal and Mildred took the pups upstairs to their room to prepare them for bed. She enjoyed staying with them. It more than compensated for the time she missed with her own daughter Alexa.'Come into my study then!' he said, leading the way.'I am happy that everything went well with the meeting of the clan heads today and I pray for a successful Press Conference tomorrow', Alexa started. Hector nodded.Alexa chose her words carefully. ' I saw your parents walking the garden this afternoon and I hope they were able to put aside their differences and forge ahead', she said.'Thank you. I appreciate your good wishes. To tell the truth, I hope so too', he replied, sighing. 'I don't really blame mother for still being furious with him. I was too,with him, that is but I have decided to let it go. If I hadn't had support, who knows what I would have done to my own family in the name of upholding tradition and pleasing the kingdom!'
Wayne, Myles and Hector, the Lyncan king were all seated facing a group of reporters Hector's father the elder Lyncan Spark Harrison was also seated with them. The Lyncan king stood up to address the press.'Ladies and gentlemen of the press and indeed everyone here present', he started. 'I am happy to stand before you today to bring to your notice the recent reformations to our laws of coexistence with all species', he smiled at his audience who were focused on him, swallowing every word that might come out of his mouth.'With me today as you can see are, Wayne Farmer, the vampire lord', he introduced, gesturing towards Wayne who dipped his head, slightly in acknowledgment. 'and Myles Prescott, the great wizard and the heir of the witch's clan!' he continued. 'I believe that if dragons had not become extinct, I would have got their clan leader to join us here today', he joked and his audience laughed in appreciation.He paused to allow the laughter to die down before continuing. ' My
Alexa heaved a sigh when it was over. She hugged Wayne and then Myles. Hector had to hold himself in check. He had just announced a peaceful coexistence and was not going to violate it minutes after but he felt odd and angry seeing the way Alexa hugged her other Mayes. Why hadn't she rejected them? She should, shouldn't she? he thought and his wolf gave him the answer.'How can she, when you led her to believing it is just a contract between you? A contract that will expire in three years!' Flame said. 'You might think it is a long time but I assure you it is not as you will soon find out! And buddy, the time is ticking... tick, tick, tick!' he taunted.'Oh shut up!' Hector snapped as he watched Alexa walk their guests to their cars. Thank goodness the reporters had all be dispersed.'You have chosen a great husband for yourself, Alexa', Myles said, when Wayne excused himself, to speak with Clementine, Hector's mother. 'He must really loved you!''You are mistaken, we ate doing this f
Wayne and Alexa stood looking at each other. They had gone through alot together and they had been fated together but a stronger fate or one who was more fated to her was pulling them apart.'Alexa, I know what is expected of me but I can't seem to be able to do it', he said. 'I have considered you my better half from the first day I met you in that deserted building with those lovely pups. I can still see the way way you all were that day, tired and helpless but still looking cute, those babies of yours. My heart went out to them. And when I came to carry them into my car, both of them smiled at me and each circled her time hands round my forefinger and captured my heart forever', he confessed and Alexa shut her eyes, tears flowing down.'When you came to and stared at me with your lovely eyes, I knew I had made the right decision to keep you with me and promise sed myself I'd guard you and your pups with my life. I must have fallen in love with you instantly because ever since then
Hector could not stop thinking about Henry and the discussion he had had with Alexa about him.'He is my elder brother and it is his right to have the throne!' he thought. He wanted to assure him that though he had been given the mantle of leadership, he would relinquish it to him.He went to his room yo speak to him but was told by the maid cleaning his room yo that he had gone downstairs.Hector descended the stairs and found his brother coming from the direction of the dungeon.'Henry, where have you been?' he asked, wondering what he would want in the dungeon.'What?' he exclaimed. 'I no longer have freedom to move around my own house?' he asked.'That's not what I mean', Hector said, hastily. 'I didn't know you liked going to the dungeon!''I was so curious about Alexa's younger sister and wanted to see what a heartless, scheming bitch like her looked like!' Henry explained.'Oh, she is that and more but you could have just asked and I would have brought her to you!' Hector said
'Dad, I have come to discuss something very important with you', Hector started. 'It is something that have given me great concern and which Alexa herself called my attention to. I have also given it a lot of thought', he said.'What is this thing that a Lyncan king like you is finding so difficult to say?' his father inquired.'It is about Henry!' he answered.'What about him?' his father asked, suddenly anxious. 'What did he do?''Oh, Dad, you are really acting weird today. He did not do anything but I feel that we are the people who are doing him an injustice!' Hector said.'How so?' Spark asked.'He is the elder son and the rightful heir to the throne!' Hector started. 'It is understandable that you allowed me to be crowned the Lyncan king when Henry was sickly and then presumed dead', he continued, 'but now that he is back, shouldn't we revisit the issue? Give him his right?''Son, there is no need for this!' his father said, heaving a sigh of relief that it was not what he had a
By the time Hector came back from seeing his father, Henry was already in the living room where he had left him previously, pretending to be absorbed in a newspaper.'Back so soon?' Henry said, clearly astonished. 'That was very fast!'Hector shrugged and made to go to his study but Henry's voice stopped him. 'So what did father say?' he asked.'Father is working out something!' Hector said. 'That's what he assured me. He will take care of everything!'I bet! Henry thought with discontent. 'That's okay', he said, instead. 'But one more thing before you go, Lyncan king'.Hector was really tired after his talk with his father and just wanted to go into his study and rest his head or lose himself in his thoughts but the tone of Henry's voice caught him his attention. Did Henry sound bitter just now, when he addressed him by his title? He looked at Henry but he was all straight face and innocence. I must have imagined it, he thought.'What is that Henry?' he asked, rubbing his hands over
