CHAPTER 128KYRA'S POVMorning came soon enough and with it came a kind of excitement I couldn't comprehend. I woke up and continued to stare like one who was about to embark on a trip. I couldn't wait to see those we had locked up in the prison the previous day. I Wanted to see if they had transformed from the children's state into adults or they didn't. For a very long time, I hadn't felt excited about something as I felt at that moment. I rose from the bed like one who was being pursued, barely waiting for Blake who had woken up as well and was still trying to boot. I wanted to be sure that the prisoners we had in there were still there and with each second that passed by, I felt that I was wasting unnecessary time."Won't you wait for me? I think you should calm down a bit!" Ace said to me as he hastily put on his clothes. He stared into the mirror to be sure he looked good enough after which he fixed his stare at me and shook his head like one was trying to figure out somethi
CHAPTER 129RAHL'S POVWaking up, I woke up to a lot of body ache that no matter how I positioned myself, I would feel hurt. I turned my head around in a bid to loosen up some muscles which had grown tense and the moment I did that, I felt a bit relieved in my neck region which seemed to hurt the most. I guess I must have slept on it while I slept. "Cindy! Cindy!" I called as I searched all over the room but there was no trace of her and neither could I perceive her scent. "Where could she have gone?" I thought within myself as I snapped my fingers together. I suddenly remembered that this was my personal bedroom and not the one we both shared. I had come here the moment I got back to the room. I rose to my feet as a sigh escaped from my lips. I wanted to get some more sleep but I wanted Cindy to be by my side. Only then would I be able to sleep peacefully. A few steps and I was out of the room, heading towards the one I shared with Cindy. I was extremely exhausted and only Managed
CHAPTER 130ACE'S POVThe crowing sound of the cocks could be Heard from a distance and strangely, those crows Managed to wake me up against my wish. My eyes popped open at the second cock crow. I darted them around and realised it still wasn't morning yet. The entire place was dark like we were just starting the night. I thought of getting up to carry out some work but I immediately changed my mind as I wasn't in the mood to do anything at all. I just wanted to remain on the bed and relax my body and that was exactly what I was going to do. I heaved a sigh as i gazed at the white washed ceiling. My thoughts drifted off just at that moment and I remembered those kids who we had locked in the dungeon the previous evening. I felt skeptical as to whether they were going to change into their real form just as we thought they would. I felt a strong urge to get up at once to go check them out but I refrained from doing so and instead continued to lay on the bed. I was still pondering on th
CHAPTER 131ACE'S POVWe all remained silent as we waited for the soldier to arrive with the elder. Our eyes moved from the captives and back again. I had the most attention on them as I wanted to see what was going to happen. I had a strong feeling that they were exactly what Kyra said they were but then what I couldn't understand was what could be their purpose for coming to the pack house. Could it be that they are from the enemies and are trying to strategize on the best way to attack us. Thinking of it alone gave me chills and I began to shiver If our enemies decided to infiltrate the town by coming in the form of children, then we would be in a whole lot of trouble but we wouldn't be able to differentiate between our own children and the fake ones. I developed headache while thinking so I had to kick it to the back of my mind. We would have to meet with the commanders to discuss about it and yeah, but for now, we had to focus on the one in front of us."Do you think the elder
CHAPTER 132KYRA'S POVIf I was to be truthful to myself, then I would say I was really scared for what was going to happen and no matter how hard I tried to get myself to be calm, I just couldn't. I was glad Blake was there with me. He provided all the support I needed and continued to calm me. In all my life, I had Never heard of this and even in the pack I grew up in, nothing of the sort was seen.The elder continued to work with his mouth, making inchorent words. I was sure those words he was saying was being disruptive to the strange kids that were in front of us. He paused for a few seconds to catch his breath and drink some water and I leveraged on that opportunity to ask him about it."Why do they seem to act violently the more you speak?" I asked with my eyes blinking continuously like I was some blinking machine."Well, I'm trying to awaken their elderly body but they do not want me to and that's why they are so aggressive," he explained to me and continued with his work. It
CHAPTER 133ACE'S POVAfter whispering some inchorent words to the soldier, I helped myself into the chair beside me and began to speak to the old man who was still trying to catch his breath."Oh my! Thank you sir, what would we have done if not for your help!" I said with a wide grin, wrapping my hand through him. He smiled as he gulped down the second cup of water that was given to him."It's a privilege to help my pack in the little way I can help. If I refuse to help and we eventually get attacked, would I be spared by those who comes to attack the pack? No, I wouldn't. I have a bit of advice though and I'd love if you put it to good use," he said in a calm and reserved voice. I was curious to know what he was talking about and couldn't wait to hear him speak. I aided him on with a wave of hand as I didn't want to distract him. He cleared his throat and began to speak, slowly but steadily."I think for the time being, you should pass an order that children shouldn't be seen around
HARDIN'S POVWith utmost gentility, I tried pushing Cindy off me so I could check out what it was I saw or I claimed to see but she wouldn't let me. She ran her hands all over with a seductive grin."I don't think it's something you should worry yourself avou. Maybe you're hallucinating things here because there doesn't seem to be anyone here," she said to me without taking her hands off me. Her hands were quickly arousing the effect she wanted in me. I concurred at once and pushed the thought to the back of my head."You are right. I shouldn't let that ruin the beautiful moment I have with you," I said to her as I landed a kiss on her cheek. She grinned, leaning deeper into me. She continued to run her hands over my chest and I needed no one to tell me what she wanted. I was ready to give it to her as well.I rolled my eyes in ecstasy as I reached for her boobs that were staring me right in the face."How do you manage to do this without any stres?" She went on to ask, looking all ex
CHAPTER 135ACE'S POVThe way I laughed the moment I heard who it was that sent them, you would think I had just won a lottery and was about to celebrate it. I glanced at the other and saw them stare hard at the one who had spoken Up. They obviously saw him as a betrayal and a traitor and could strangle him if they were given the opportunity but I didn't give a damn about that. I scoffed as I placed the sword back into the pot."Can any of you explain to me how Rahl felt when he was actually sending you all here. Did he think we wouldn't find out about you not being kids?" I said and burst into another round of laughter. Kyra walked towards me and stood in front of our captives, a devilish grin on her lips. "You know, I actually felt an atom of pity for you all but that vanished the moment I found out that you were sent by Rahl. You were sent by the same man who killed my parents and made me an orphan.." she said and paused to catch her breath."Please have mercy ma'am, please ma'a
CHAPTER 179RAHL'S POVIt was late at night and all was silent. I laid on my bed with my eyes to the ceiling as various thoughts ran through my mind. My eyes were filled with tears as I rolled around in search of Cindy. I had grown to love her and that a day without her felt like a nightmare to me but then I couldn't but punish her for betraying my trust and all. I wasn't one to be treated with leveity and this she knew but what she did do instead? She went on, acting like I wasn't of any importance to her. Tears gathered in my eyes and I made no attention of any such to prevent it from trickling down."Don't you think you should forgive her and continue like it never happened!" A voice said to me in a cool reserved manner and strangely, I began to see sense in it. I would have to go see her the next day. I was still speaking to myself when I Heard some loud noises from outside. It was weird for people to make so much noise at that time of the day. I had a strong feeling that all was
CHAPTER 178KYRA'S POVBlake and his men had just arrived at our pack , ready for the battle that was to take place soon. I was filled with uncertainty and couldn't get rid it it no matter how hard I tried. I wasn't worried about him or the fact that I was going to be seeing his face regularly. I was worried if we were going to win against Rahl. Rahl was really tricky and there was no way to tell exactly what he had in plans. True, we have the advantage of the human weapon on our side but what if he has them as well? That would be catastrophic as well. We only have a little supply of it to go round a few men so I knew what I was talking about. I was still lost in my thoughts when I heard the voice of Someone from behind. I turned and right there was Blake, his hands clasped to his side. I wasn't entirely pleased with the fact that he had come to meet me there but I wasn't going to ask him to leave as well. I had to stay there and listen to Whatever it was he had to say."And what both
CHAPTER 177CINDY'S POVMy world and Everything I had worked so hard for came crumbling on me and there was nothing I could do about it. I was helpless to the core with tears trickling down my face in large torrents. It was a dark room and the only thing I could see was the mirror of myself. I Wanted to speak, to yell and cry aloud but I couldn't dare to do that. The last time I did so was ten minutes ago and I regretted it badly. The echo had sent such great fear in me with my heart thumping heavily against my chest. I glanced around hoping those who had heard my loud yell would come to find out what the problem but I was wrong. There was no sign of anyone. It was appearant that they didn't give a damn as to what to what happened to me. My mind flashed to the past hour and how things had changed for me within a short while. I still couldn't understand how Rahl happened to find out all of these. "Damn it! Perhaps he went to report to Rahl! That good for nothing orderly!" I thought to
CHAPTER 176BLAKE'S POVThe meeting had ended and we had decided to move thr soldiers to Kyra's pack the next Day. We couldn't waste time as we didn't want Rahl to be the first one to launch an attack. We wanted to take him byu surprise such that he wouldn't be able to regain his balance. Will you be coming with us, dad?" I asked after everyone else had gone. He Stared at me with disdain as if to ask what had suddenly come over me."And what sort of a question is that?" He snapped at once, a thick frown etched to the corners of his face. I lowered my gaze from him as ui wasn't ready for unnecessary talks."I only Wanted to be sure, that's all. I'm sorry if it didn't go well with you!* I quickly apologized,hoping it would end that way but I could only wish."You know you shouldn't be asking such questions. They sound dumb to the ears. If I decide to go with you, then who would remain here to look after the People? Won't they consider us thoughtless and without empathy for them?" He w
CHAPTER 175RAHL'S POV "How dare she do this to me!" I said aloud, slamming my hand against the table that was sitting right in front of me. I could get I hadn't gotten as upset as I was at that momen and no matter how hard I tried to get myself to be calm, it just proved abortive.."Are you sure you're telling the truth?* I asked in a thick baritone could just to be sure he was telling me nothing but the truth. I couldn't risk taking a crucial action based on some lie. I squeezed my brows just to give me that evillish look and it did work. He was shivering in no time and looked like He was going to break anytime soon. "Yes sir, I am sure sir. Why do you think I would lie to you sir when I'm full aware of what you are going to me if you find ou I'm lying?" He said with quavering voice that I couldn't but agree with him. The anger in me turned sour and i began to feel hurt instesd. I had done nothing but love her and make her feel loved. I had treated her in a way that I wouldn't have
CHAPTER 174KYRA'S POVAs I sat still with my head buried in some files, I noticed Ace stealing glances at me. I thought of Ignoring ig for the first few times but I couldn't anymore. I cleared my throat and raised my head to him. He immediately moved his gaze from me, pretending like he hadn't been stealing glances at me all these while. I cleared my throat and twisted my lips into a funny posture."Why are you staring at me in this manner?" I asked in a cool and calm voice, my eyes blinking uncontrollably like it was being controlled by a switch. He was mute for a few seconds with his eyes fixedl wholly on me. I loved it at first but then it became elongated and I couldn't bear it anymore. "Aren't you going to say a word? Is there anything in my eyes?" I went on to ask, a bit confused as to why he was staring at me in such manner. That was the first time I had seen him with such look and it kinda made it worried. When jr wouldn't speak, I rose to my feet and moved to where he wa
CHAPTER 173CINDY'S POV"No! Rahl. You cannot.do this to me. You have to help me. You cannot leave me to die here. You save me first and then we would discuss. Please, you shiu help me!" I pleaded with great desperation but he wouldn't listen to me. With every second that went by, the fire grew closer to me and the iota of hope I had left in me was starting to fade off. The heat was dangerous and hell. I turned behind, hoping to somehow find a way to escape but it proved abortive."Someone please help me!" I yelled at the top of my voice and jerked up at once, panting like I just completed a marathon. It felt like my heart was going to blow from my chest at any moment. I sat upright, moving my eyes around, searching for the fire. It was all a dream. I heaved a sigh of relief as I tried to catch my breath. I could only imagine What would have happened to me if it wasn't a dream after all."Is this a kind of warning to me? Could Rahl decide to do this to me if he finds out the truth of
CHAPTER 172BLAKE'S POVThere was so lot that had to be done in the settlement especially after the fight. We had to make sure it was up to what we had before. So many damages had been done and it wasn't going to be rectified in a minute. When we were done, we were pretty exhausted, I most especially. I wanted to do nothing but lay on my bed and sleep but then there were so many things that had to be done within a short while. I stood akimbo with my hands clasped to my waist and glared around while the peop worked with all their mights to make sure that they get the best out of the pack. I was still standing there when father Walked up to me with a weird look on his face. I found it rather weird that he had such expression and when he didn't speak at once, I wanted to ask him what the problem was but then I changed my mind against it and decided he should be the one to speak. "Blake! What is the next line of action?" He began just thr way I had thought he would. He clasped his hands
CHAPTER 171CINDY'S POVThe fear in me heightened with every second that went by and the more I pondered on the issue at hand, the more my heart palpitated against my chest. I was yet to understand why Rahl was suddenly creating a fuss over it. At the rate he was going, I was sure he wasn't going to spare me if he finds out the truth. He is going to kill me and wouldn't even spare a second to hear me out. That alone gave me goosebumps and I knew I had to think fast. I had to do what was to done at once. I sighed and then rose to my feet, pacing through the length and breadth of the room like one who was being troubled with demons. After a few seconds, I returned to the bed, sitting heavily on it like it had offended me before now. I drew the rope by the bed. It was one used as an alarm to call either of our orderlies. The moment I drew it,I heard a knock on the door and then a few seconds break before the doorknob turned, revealing my orderly who looked as serious as ever."It's time
