CHAPTER 150BLAKES POVFather had woken up that morning with a thick frown laced to his brows. He didn't look happy and neither was he willing to talk about it."What's going on dad? Why do you look this way?" I asked, concerned about him but most especially about his health. I didn't want him breaking down all of a sudden, especially now. "Nothing. Why do you care so much about me? What's the essence when you know you aren't going to do what I asked of you!" He slammed right at me after keeping mute for almost ten minutes. I took a deep breath, needing no one to tell me what the problem was. I knew where he was heading before he even talked about it. I rolled my eyes with Indifference as I sat on the bed."But I thought we already discussed this? Why are you still acting grouchy over it?" I inquired in a firm voice that somehow conveyed my grievance."Today! You said you were going to see her today but the sun is out already and you're still here. Aren't you sick and tired of such
CHAPTER 151BLAKE'S POVI continued to stare around but I just couldn't lay my hand on what it was. I just had that strong feeling within me and the more I pondered on it, the more confused I became. I couldn't help but appraise the Alpha of the pack. First, she had managed to defeat Rahl and then she had run this large pack on her own. I couldn't but doff my hat down for her."What are you here for? You don't look like you're from here?" A heavily built man with broad shoulders said to me with a thick frown laced to his brows. He had not an iota of friendliness attached to his face. I straightened myself and then cleared my throat to speak."I am Blake and I am from the moon pack. I'm here to see the Alpha in regards to something really important.""Do you have previous appointments? We can't just allow you in if you don't have an appointment with the Alpha," he went on to say with that same frown that was plastered on his face. I was mute for a few seconds and didn't know what to sa
CHAPTER 152RAHL'S POV A moment with Cindy was one I always looked forward to with great anticipation and as I remained with her, I felt a rare kind of excitement within me but unfortunately, it was cut short by the noise we heard. Without uttering a word, we flew to our feet and dashed out to check out what it was. Right there was a man struggling with the soldiers. He was so desperate to get himself free from them but they held on tight like their entire existence depended on it. I cleared my throat, wondering what could be the problem. "What's going on? Why is there so much noise here?" I snapped, pissed that they had cut my happy moments short with their unnecessary noise. There was silence for a few seconds as the young man continued to struggle with them. I began to get pissed at their childish attitude and couldn't keep mute."Are you all deaf of am I speaking to dummies?" I yelled, clenching my hand into a fist.One of them straightened up and made to speak. "This man over
CHAPTER 153CINDY'S POVAs I stared at the young man in front of us, I felt disdain run through me and no matter how hard I chide myself against it, I just couldn't get that feeling off my mind. His continuous pleas Irritated me and made me want to choke him so much. I only managed to stand there because Rahl did. While I was least suspecting, Rahl turned huw gaze towards me, asking if the young man would be forgiven or not. I glared at him for a few seconds, confused. I tried to process what had suddenly come over him for him to ask such an obnoxious question. The Rahl I knew wouldn't even consider having mercy on such an offender talkless of asking her about it. He had truly grown soft, much softer than he should be."No! He shouldn't. He commited a crime and should be treated as one. He will serve as deterrent to others who might want to head in the same direction," I said with a loud and baritone voice just the way I knew Rahl to like it. He nodded his head in agreement and turned
CHAPTER 154BLAKE'S POVMy heart thumped heavily against my chest as I found my way into the main building where the Alpha was said to be waiting for me. I didn't know what to expect hence the reason for my fears. I managed to keep my head high in all as I followed the soldier that was leading me to them. We arrived at a door and that was when he pulled halt."You can go in! They are waiting for you!" He said in a firm voice. I nodded my head in approval, took a deep breath and then walked into the room. I raised my head and was shocked at the sight that greeted me. For a few seconds, I couldn't believe my eyes and had to pinch myself to be sure I wasn't dreaming."Sorry, I think I'm in the wrong room!" I said and made to leave but the Voice of the young lady boomed through to me, startling me again and again. Tears gathered in my eyes as I immediately recognised who she was. "No, you're not in the wrong room. You are only shocked to see me here, right? You didn't expect it!" She sa
CHAPTER 155RAHL'S POVBy the time I returned to where the young man and Cindy stood, I was shocked to find him all cool and calm. I was sure something must have transpired within the few minutes I was away but then I couldn't be so sure what It was. I moved my gaze from him to Cindy and back again."You wanted to say something before now, what is it? Go on! I'm all ears!" I said to him with my Hands clasped together but to my utmost surprise, he kept mute and continued to stare at me like he was some dummy. Something just wasn't right.. I was starting to grow upset and it took me all the patience I could muster to keep myself in check."Did you hear what I said or you want me to get all mad with you?" I asked in a loud and baritone voice, my hands clenched into a fist."Was I saying anything before now sir?" He went on to ask, snapping out the little patience I had In me. I wanted to land him a punch across the face and yes, I was going to do just that if he continues with this ga
CHAPTER 156KYRA'S POV The anger I felt in me was second to none and somehow, I felt glad the moment Ace asked the good for nothing bastard to leave. Tears trickled down my face and I made no attempt to control it. The nerve he had to show himself before me was something I couldn't understand and the more I pondered on it, the more confusing it became. Ace's hand on me helped in comforting me more than anything else. I didn't know what I would do or what I would have done if not for him by my side. Thinking of it alone gave me chills and made me want to hug him the more."I'd like to speak to you if you're ready to listen to what I have to say. Should I go on with it?" He asked without taking his eyes off me. I had a strong intuition about what he wanted to talk about and didn't feel so cool about it but I managed to remain calm. "Sure you can. I'm all ears!" I aided him on and pursed my lips into an awkward position, my hand clasped together. He took a deep breath and raised my he
CHAPTER 157BLAKE'S POVAs I stood outside waiting for Kyra and her man to speak, I couldn't help but scold myself over and over again. If only I had shown kindly to her back then, then I wouldn't be in such a dilemma. All I could do as I stood there was to wish that she has a change of mind. I began to imagine how my father would feel when he hears that she refused to help us. He would be so devastated as she was the only hope we had to regain our pack. I wouldn't be happy myself because I wanted him to be happy and return to the good life he had known. Tears gathered in my eyes as I sat there. My eys flickered around and I couldn't help but marvel at the level of work and energy that was inputted into making the pack what it is at that moment. The people went around their work as well without anyone to supervise them on what to do. They knew exactly what was to be done and made sure it was done. Another question popped up in my head and the more I pondered on it, the more confused
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
