The atmosphere was tense and Gravon who stood by the side watching what was going on silently walked toward the body lying on the floor.

"We made sure there was nothing on him before putting him into the dungeon so how exactly did this happen?"

The guards gazed at each other urging each other to speak up before one finally did.

"We didn't know what happened but when we saw him groaning we tried all we could even opening the door to the dungeon just so we could save him but before we got in, he had drunk it already" he recounted to Hrolf who was silent.

He could sense foul play but still, he couldn't fix his hands on what exactly had happened. He took a deep breath trying to calm down his nerves so he could think rationally.

His gaze moved to the guard's face and he noted that they had blank looks on their faces which made it hard for him to decipher if they were telling the truth.

Gravon shook his head, he had tried all he could just to find out what had happened but he couldn't

    Cassie's voice kept echoing as Hrolf made his way out of the dungeons with Ashina holding his arms, he regretted a lot of things. "It is morning already," Ashina gazed at the sun which was high up in the sky, its light illuminating the pack house and her eyes drifted to the courtyard where she had been kidnapped. Everything had happened within a twinkle of an eye and before she could attempt to run, she found out that she was on Ramon's back, Hrolf had clung onto her last night not wanting to let go because according to him, he couldn't think properly without her by his side. She flashed a smile at him, her lips turning into a lopsided grin when she saw Hrolf staring at her "What is it?" She asked Hrolf, stopping when he did, she let him hold her hands, her heart beating fast when he took steps closer to her. "We are outside" she reminded him when he walked closer but Hrolf had a smile on his face. "As though I have ever cared about that" he bluffed, before placing his lips gen

    Hrolf walked out of the office with his mind centered in a particular direction. Cassie's room. It would be easy to search for the documents especially now that she was in the dungeon. He wondered what exactly he had done to get someone like her in his pack. She had always been sweet until she became bittered when Ashina came into his life. A faint smile crept on his face when he thought of her, Ashina, his Luna. "Alpha, we are here," Erik said out loud trying to get his attention when he saw that Hrolf was daydreaming"Oh okay," he pushed the door open before taking steps inside. Cassie's room was plain and it liked designs just like others. He frowned when a scene drifted into his nostrils, one that was offensive and he turned back wanting to know if the others perceived it also, and judging from the hand on their nose, he knew that they did. "What could that be?'' Gravon wondered out loud as he walked towed her closest, yanking it open, her clothes were neatly arranged, and al

    Ashina shook her head when she saw the look on Hrolf's face, one that held contempt and showed that he was disgusted by her. She took steps toward him not minding the people who were in the room with her but Hrolf took a step back. Gravon looked on, he was finding it hard to believe that Ashina had taken the documents because he couldn't see any benefit that she would be receiving from it unless she had made talks to harm Hrolf."Let me explain," she pleaded but Hrolf pulled her hands away from his wrist. "I am disappointed in you Ashina, I had a lot of trust in you, but now, you have shattered me, dashing all of the hopes that I had placed in you" thin line of tears rolled down her cheek, but Hrolf refused to pay heed to whatever it was that she had to say. "I would never hurt you Hrolf, and you know that you know that I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize your happiness" she muttered to him hoping that he would come to his senses but the next word he said broke her. "You have sta

  • The Loathed Luna    He didn't want this

    Hrolf gazed at Ashina until she was out of his sight. It was intriguing how one could love one minute and hate the next. Ashina had broken the trust that he had in her, she had betrayed him when all that he had done was love and cherish her, she had paid him back with pain when all he had done was give her the love she deserved.He clenched the pact that he had in his hands tightly, he could still remember how hard it was to get it, a lot of things had to be put into consideration which included death from both packs before a stance was finally met. He threw a glance beyond the trees and the houses which he had made, the life that he had accomplished without Ashina in it. He needed time to think, time to process what he had just done, time to get used to the life that he was going to have without Ashina in it. He didn't know if he wanted her back. If he accepted her back, what guarantee does he have that she wouldn't do the same thing yet again?"Hrolf" Gravon took steps toward hi

  • The Loathed Luna    Kidnapped

    Ashina ran away, far away from Hrolf, she couldn't believe that he didn't believe her, was the love he had so fickle to him that all it took was a little push for him to let her go? Her legs halted before the door to his bedroom, where they had memories, memories that she would always want to keep with her. She walked past his room, heading toward hers where everything had shattered. She ran her gaze around the room, tastefully furnished, he had redesigned her room immediately she had agreed to be his Luna but now, all of that didn't matter. She crouched to the ground, her hands covering her mouth as she let out the tears that she had been holding, the face Hrolf had when he stared at her replayed in her memory, this time it was more vivid than before. It felt like a physical pain that she couldn't escape from and it tore her heart shattering it into tiny bits. Her lips trembled as she cried, the sobs wracking her body and even when she was finding it hard to breathe, she continue

    "Mother" Gael screamed while running on the flowers, stepping on them. He hadn't seen anything because his mother had pushed him fast away, making him stumble. He stared at the sheet which she had laid on the ground which still had her scent but she was nowhere to be found. He sat down on the blanket, gazing around while waiting for his mother to come back because he knew that there was no way she would abandon him. His stomach growled and he placed a palm on it. He hadn't had anything to eat and he had thought that he would be eating with her, but now he had to wait a little longer. "Sorry mother," he apologized as he opened the bowl, picking up a slice of bread from within, he chewed it gently just like his mother would have advised him to. He patted his stomach before shutting it, he didn't know how long his mother would take and all she had told him was to run, does it mean something was wrong? He wondered but he shook his head, refusing to believe that. He gazed up at the s

    Her eyes flustered as the sun rays shone on her skin, causing it to glint. A smile cascaded his face as he took in her appearance, how badly he wanted to have his way with her but he wouldn't, not now, not when she was still asleep.She was here with him and that was all that mattered, he had her in his palm and he was going to brag about it to everyone who cares to know. Ashina flicked her eyes open, a groan escaping from her mouth when the sun rays shone on her eyes, she placed a palm on her eyes, trying to get the sun rays out. "You should sit upright since you are awake, we have to talk," Zeeb said to her, with a smile on his face. Ashina shook her head as she tried to get back her memories of what had happened earlier on. She jerked up and froze when she saw who was seated in front of her. "Zeeb" she drew backward until her back hit the wall, memories came flooding and her eyes widened. "Gael, where is he?" She growled at Zeeb. " Welcome home Ashina," Zeeb stood up from the

    Hrolf stood at the window, staring beyond the trees, it had been weeks and Ashina was nowhere to be found still, a part of him felt like it had gone missing. He knew that there was no way that life was going to be the same without Ashina in it, Gael kept nagging constantly, insisting that he didn't want to have anything to do with him and he had been forced to place him under the care of a maiden but still, he kept making her life difficult."How is he?" He asked when he heard the door being pulled open. Gravon rolled his eyes at Hrolf. He was drained and he never knew that it was so tasking to take care of a child. Gael had kicked and complained about how he hated Hrolf and that he didn't want anything to do with him. Left with no choice, Gravon had to stand in and take care of him but still, he kept nagging and pushing Gravon away, telling him how he isn't any different from his father. He collapsed on the chair, heaving heavily. He wondered how Ashina had been able to take care

    "Helena" Ashina screamed out loud with a hand placed on her chest when she tripped on the floor. "Shush" Gael carried her up, patting her gently on the back, Ashina let out a sigh of relief when she saw Gael patting her gently. "Mother, she is fine, you do not have to worry about her" he said to her with a smile on his face.Ashina nodded at him before walking forward with her bulging stomach, a hand around her waist.Hrolf had been so scared when she had given birth to Helena so he had told her that he didn't want any more children and that Gael and Helena were enough but somehow, he had ended up getting her pregnant. She could remember the reaction he had when he found out what he had done and had apologized profusely for making her go through pain again but Ashina had dissuaded him, letting him know that it was fine."Mother," Helena called out to her with misty eyes, while stretching both of her hands out but Gael held her firmly. "You wouldn't want to hurt Mother now, would y

    Hrolf stood with sweaty palms and his heart beating fast when he gazed at himself in the mirror. It looked just like a dream which he didn't want to wake up from.The door was pushed open slightly and Gravon walked in, staring at Hrolf, he placed a hand over his mouth, a smile on his face "You look..." his gaze wandered over Hrolf as he tried to find the right word to say. "You look handsome" he finally managed to say, while walking toward Hrolf. " Thank you" Hrolf patted both of his hands together trying to think properly. This was a lot but knowing that Ashina was the one who he would be walking down the aisle with was worth it.Letting out a sigh from his lips, he turned around, meeting Gravon's gaze. "Is everything ready?" He asked again, making Gravon roll his eyes at him. "All preparations have been made, Alphas from different packs are seated already, you aren't having cold feet, are you?" Gravon asked, wanting to be sure because Hrolf was acting in such an awkward way tha

    The cheering of the crowd as Cassie and Erik was brought in, pierced through Hrolf's chest as he tried to think, faced with a lot of uncertainty and the fact that he had to mete out judgment on them. Clutching the arm of his chair tightly, he turned his head around to see Ashina gazing straight at Erik, with a blank look on her face."Are you okay?" He asked her, her face was pale and recently, she had been under a lot of pressure with merging her pack with his. Smiling back at him Ashina nodded at him, showing him that she was okay.She placed a hand over her mouth, trying as hard as she could not to gag. "Are you sure you are okay?" Hrolf asked again, with concern on his face. He was ready to pass out judgment next time if she wasn't okay. "I am fine" Ashina repeated, her voice firm and strong, she flipped her head to the side where Cassie was glaring at her but she couldn't care less."The people await your judgment" Hrolf let out a sigh as he stood up from the chair that he w

    "You got to be joking" Hrolf said to Gravon who gazed at him. If there was something he loved doing, it was ruffling his emotions and he loved that look on his face that showed that he was tense."She is okay, but.." he pulled Hrolf with him to the side. Taking a look at the old man at intervals. "Do you think handing her over to the old man is the right thing?" He wanted to know. " Gravon" Hrolf placed a hand on his shoulder, " Someone has to put her down, she has to pay for all of the numerous things that she had done and I do not want to be the one who will do that for her,"Gravon nodded agreeing with what he had just said but still," Wouldn't you be affected? We grew up together and besides, she is Gael's mother,"" I have made my decision and I am not going back on my word," Hrolf said firmly, not wanting to repeat himself anymore. Letting out a sigh, Gravon pondered on what was happening. If this was what he thought was best, he was going to go along with it. "Take him al

    Although it had taken a lot of convincing, Ashina knew that she would have gone with Hrolf even if he hadn't done so much, with how much she missed Gael and how she wanted to be by his side, she would have gone with him.With one hand wrapped around her waist, he kissed her gently on the cheek before yanking on the reins of the horse to move. Picking up the chase and running through the thick forest, Xeva, Hrolf's horse drove like lightning through the thick bushes.Ashina had talked to her pack members and the elders, letting them know that she would be back soon, after settling whatever it was that she had to do at the white moon pack. And at almost dusk, Gravon's men, who he had placed at the boundary of both packs, waved earnestly, cheering him happily. Hrolf flashed a smile at them before donning a blank look as Xeva ran toward the pack house and at every pace it took, Ashina's heart beat faster than the last. Knowing that she was coming back here evoked nostalgic feelings in

    Hrolf caressed Ashina's hair gently which was sprawled out, her chest heaved up and down, showing that she was fast asleep.Stroking her hair gently, he let out a sigh of relief, he was sure that they were back to how they were before and he was ready to do right by her. Exhaling sharply, he stood up gently, placing Ashina on the bed before standing upright. He had intended to saunter toward the window when he felt a hand wrapped around his wrist. Turning back, he flashed Ashina a smile."Where are you going?" Ashina asked, trying to sit upright, when she finally did, she ran her gaze at Hrolf who was naked, making her gulp in her spittle. Although they had gone on and on, she still found herself wanting him. Again."I guess I didn't do a nice job there" Hrolf's gaze darkened as he walked back toward the bed, taking in Ashina's appearance as he walked closer. Her hair cascaded down giving her ample coverage over her perfect boobs, licking his lips, he thought of how they had fitte

    Ashina pulled open the door to her room gently before stepping in, running a finger on the chain lying by the side of the bed, she shut her eyes, before flicking them open, it had happened in the blink of an eye. From being recaptured to being chained to her bed and Hrolf barging into the pack to rescue her, finding out he had been in cahoot with Zeeb from the onset and then Zeeb's death. She would have argued blindly with anyone who had said Erik was betraying Hrolf because she knew that he wasn't like that but this has taught her a lesson. To vouch for who she knew very well. She had been betrayed also even when all she had done was being kind and she could understand the turmoil Hrolf was in, he was trying to be strong, losing both Cassie and Erik at the same time but he had no other choice.Standing up she sauntered across the room, toward the window, it was dusk already, and now, she had gotten back her pack. She was the rightful heir of the Sussex pack and now it was in her h

  • The Loathed Luna    Left her stunned

    Erik grunted lowly when he was forced to stand up, with his head pressed against the wall, Ashina had walked away, intending to address her pack. She felt relieved at the fact that the pack had been handed over to her and this time, she was going to do whatever it takes just to make sure that nothing happens to her people. Hrolf stood by the side watching with admiration at how vocal she was with letting everyone know about her intention, she wasn't avoiding any questions that were being thrown at her and he was glad to see her do that. Ashina could feel a heated gaze behind her and she knew who it was, there was just a man who was capable of stripping her naked with just his gaze. Hrolf. And this time, she was going to make sure that he didn't have it the easy way. She was going to make him plead for a long time before accepting his apology even when it didn't look genuine. The cheers of the pack members caused a smile on her face as she glanced at them, knowing that she was thi

  • The Loathed Luna    Not remorseful

    Waves of emotions swept through Hrolf who was contemplating what he had just heard, although he knew that Cassie had done a lot and angered a lot of people still, he was trying to think of a better punishment. "What do you intend to do to you?" He asked although he knew what it was. Ashina glared at him. "He wasn't seriously thinking of saving her now, was he?" She wondered, she hoped that he wasn't going to do that. If he wanted her, he had to show that he wanted her in his life and the first thing was to hand Cassie over. "That isn't yours to find out, Alpha Hrolf, I have heard of your splendid deed and I must tell you that I am mesmerized by your deeds, unlike my son here" he gestured at Zeeb. " Although I wasn't any better than him, days alone in that dungeon taught me a lot of things and when I found out that Ramon was dead" he shut his eyes as though he was honoring his dead son's image before flicking them open.
