RAHL'S POV I was at a dead point as to what to do and no matter how hard I pondered on it, I never seemed to see a seeming solution. I could see the fear in my men's eyes and though they tried to behave strong like men, it was still obvious. I was lost as well. if I the alpha of the pack could be as scared as I was, then who are they not to be scared. After pondering for the short time made available to me, there was only one decision to be made and that was to go into confrontation with the men but for how long? We would be greatly outnumbered and it wouldn't take long for us to become things of the past. I rolled my eyes around and drew out my sword from its scabbard, ready for a seeming face off. "Why don't we climb the trees and hide until they are gone?" One of my men suggested. I fixed my gaze on him with great excitement, wondering why none of us had thought of it before he did. We alighted from our horses at once and began to climb the tall trees that surrounded us. I was
ACE'S POVI went all over the pack house in search of her but she wasn't seen. I was starting to get all worked up and I was sure it would only take the grace to keep me as calm as I would want to be. After searching for an hour or so, I returned to the house, pretty exhausted. My eyes flickered uncontrollably as I pondered on what to do. On one hand was Kyra who was so upset with me and had refused to speak to me, and then there's me who's also battling with my conscience. "Hey! I'd like you to get me a glass of water!" I said to one of the maids I saw. I was thitsrt and knew the chances of my survival depended on how fast I was able to get water. I tapped my feet against the floor in great impatience as I waited for the maid to arrive. Almost a minute later and there was no sign of her. "Could it be that Kyra had asked her not to bring it to me?" I wondered aloud and watched my heart break into a thousand pieces. I knew I had fucked up and it would only take a woman with good
BLAKE'S POVIt's been over two months since we had to run from our pack. Father was growing weak as well and with every second that passed. Nr couldn't be blamed for that. A man at his age was meant to be in the comfort of his pack, relaxing after all the stress he had gone through in his youth but then he was out there in the wild with the constant fear of getting attacked. I add frustrated as well and the more I pondered on it, the more my heart broke. Within the while we had been there, I had managed to gather three thousand men but that was nothing in comparison to the large army of Rahl. "What's the problem? Why do you seem so Troubled?" Father queried when he saw me pacing the length and breadth of the room that served as hall to receive guests. "It's nothing dad. I just had something on my mind," I lied to him as the last thing I wanted was for him to feel the sadness and pain I was feeling at that moment. He didn't have to go through all of that all over again but somehow,
HARDIN'S POVThere was no way I could explain how I bad it had been in a while. I had tried to hold it for as long as I could but my strength was starting to wane and I felt I couldn't hide it anymore. I would sit still for a while and then begin to ponder on how sad it had all become. From an Alpha of high repute who was respected by all, I became one who had to hide to avoid being killed. I wasn't complaining because I knew pretty well that it wasn't going to be forever. I had great faith in the moon goodess that she was going to help us in this dire time. She had proved herself competent over time and she wasn't going to stop now that she was needed. "Only if Blake can listen to me and continue to uphold his faith. The words he said to me a few minutes ago still haunted me and made my heart troubled. Where had I gone round with him over the years? I couldn't seem to remember no matter how hard I tried. I was Still pondering on this when I heard some footsteps from outside. I t
KYRA'S POVI remained in my room, feeling weaker than I had ever felt. Though I kept telling myself that I didn't have to feel that way because he cheated, I couldn't help it one bit. I would cry for a while and then go on to wipe my tears, only for me to burst into tears after a few minutes. "Why don't you take a nap? You should feel better after that?" I said to myself and laid on the bed. I was slowly falling asleep when I heard a loud noise from outside the pack house. I felt a surge of irritation rise in me and no matter how hard I tried to control it, I just couldn't. After enduring it for a few seconds, I dashed to my feet to check it out. To my utmost surprise, I met Ace standing with them. Anger came rushing over me because I had thought he was the one who had organised them to come apologise to me but then on second glance, I noticed that he was standing against them and seemed to be questioning their presence. "Something seems to be wrong!" I thought to myself and walked
BLAKE'S POVI set out from the pack as early as I could with my orderly and some other soldiers. There was no time to waste, especially when I planned on visiting no less than three packs that aren't close to each other in any way. As we went, I had a strong nagging feeling tug at my chest and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get rid of it from my mind. I had to be optimistic else I would find myself at the feet of it all. I couldn't sit still and continue to hope that a miracle will suddenly happen from the moon goddess who didn't give a damn about our existence or not."How quickly would we be at the first pack of visit?" I asked my orderly who had the map clasped in his hand like it was some prized possession. He opened the leather map in his hand and went through it for a few seconds while constantly clearing his throat. "We should be at the first pack two hours from now if we continue at our current pace," he announced and my face fell immediately. That two hours wa
KYRA'S POVNot once did it cross my mind while I was telling Cindy about her brother's actions did it cross my mind that she would react that way. She became all violent and wouldn't listen to any words from him. It got to a point and I began to feel really bad for him. I tried to make her stop but I couldn't."How dare you do this to Kyra who has done nothing but love you since she met you," she began in a loud and firm voice that sent shivers down my spine. "I didn't mean to, honestly. It all happened so fast…." Ace said in his defense but she cut him short before he got a chance to speak further. Her hands were clasped together with her lips pouted awkwardly."Oh please, spare me the tale of how you didn't mean to cheat on her. You didn't mean to cheat on her but you still did.. is that an excuse? And have you gone on to plead with her? You should be pleading all day long before she should forgive you…" she chipped in with a loud and firm voice. I laughed as it sounded funny to me
HARDIN'S POVI still had my sword to his head, and I was really ready to behead him if he decided to act foolish. The air was heavy and filled with uncertainty. He glared at me and I was sure he was trying to Calculate my next move. If only he knew what I had in plan for him, then he wouldn't even dare to act stupid. I was all ready for him. "Drop all weapons at once!" I said in a loud authoritative voice that would have sent shivers down the spine of ordinary persons. He was hesitant to do so but the moment I pushed the blade deeper onto his neck, he immediately dropped his weapon, panting heavily like he had just completed a marathon. I beckoned on some guards that I knew would be there and in they came at once, shocked to meet him there."Take him out and tie to the plank in the open space. I have some questions to ask of him and I'm going to make sure he answers me with nothing but the truth," I said with great confidence that I had not the slightest explanation for. A sigh esc
