Kyra's Pov

I returned to see how the wounded man from the field was coping. He seemed to have lost so much blood while he laid on the bed looking so stressed.

At first he was asleep ,but while I stood for sometime , his eyes opened.

" How are you doing ?", I asked.

" I'm so weak right now, but I'm grateful that I am alive ", he replied.

He thanked me for sparing his life and bringing him over to the medicine camp.

" It's fine , I wanted to be sure of what had happened , seeing you there lying so unconscious, we thought we should help you out immediately", I said.

That noise had made me so concern, I knew something wasn't right as soon as I heard it. I could recall that the day my parents were murdered, that it was almost the same noise I heard.

" Please can I ask you for a favour?", he said.

I Wondered what that could have been , I barely knew this man. We only saved him because we wanted to know what had happened and now he was asking for favours. I thought of not granting him any

    Lisa's PovI felt a very uncertain energy around the medicine camp, I had shut the doors myself, ordering everyone to stay indoors as I felt something bad hovering around. We all stayed still, it was already far into the mid night and Ace and Kyra had gone to deliver the letter at the Blood Moon Pack.It all started with a strong unexplainable wind which kept on blowing the roof of the camp. I had warned the medicine men not to step out, telling them that staying in there with me was the safest. I knew I felt the presence of something awkward and I was not ready to let anyone get affected.Whatever it was would have to attack me first before getting in.Soon we began to hear the unbearable cry of a baby outside, I knew it was a trap for someone to go out. The evil might want to break our unity and attack someone.I again urged everyone to remain calm while the evil passed. I gently reached for the window to have a glance on the outside, when one of the medicine men immediately opened

    Rahl's PovSquid had returned back to the black cave where I waited for him to give me reports on the men from crystal moon Pack that were on their way to get help from a certain pack far away. He entered into my court looking uncertain." What happened, did you get me their energies?", I asked."Yes ",he said handing over the scooper to me. I immediately sensed that it wasn't all. Then I asked him where the rest was." I'm so sorry, but one of the men escaped"." What do you mean by that, didn't you go after him after escaping?", I asked." I did but a certain force made it impossible for me to attack".I was very wrath, If that particular man was left to live, he would go ahead to expose what he had seen to the world. I told squid to go back and make sure that he finished the job. Then he gave me a more striking news." The message has already been delivered to the certain pack already", he said." How do you mean?"." Two rogues took the report from the man who escaped , I was un

    Squid's PovThere was only one place I knew I had seen lots of medicine men, the medicine Camp which was far into the woods. I wasn't going to let Rahl range his anger on me if I failed to get the Alpha we draged back to the black cave treated properly. My duty,as sworn to Rahl when he tools me from Gream's pack was to carry out his every duty without regrets of refusal. My story pack then at my pack was a very saddened one, of which I owed my whole life gratitude to Rahl for saving me. Gream's pack was known for their nature's beauty when it came to good vegetations and resources. We were mostly business men and women who loved to till the ground.I was once happy before something terrible happened. The day my mother was killed for socecerry. Gream's never believed in performing any act of magic, for it was all believed to be an act of witchcraft. I was also locked up in a dark room for days, the offence of being the only son to a witch. It broke my heart when she was finally behead

    Hades PovI and my men where very close to Crystal moon Pack , it was already night. When I ordered them to stop. We needed to get in through different entrances ,incase we were being monitored by the attackers ." We must spread out now", I said dividing my men into four groups. I wanted to have a full view of everything ,so when I sent them ,I took to a high gigantic tree ,where I climbed till it's top. The view was quite exquisite, but one thing was that the pack was so quite, it was already set ablaze with smokey fumes covered everywhere which made it difficult to see properly. I had to deem my eyes to see when my men got in from various directions. Soon the unsheathing of swords and loud groaning filled the atmosphere. I got the usual coldness within me and I could tell all wasn't well at all.The fight took place for quite a long time and I wondered how many the attackers were. I had stayed on the tree for quite a long time and I needed to get down and fight as well, so I came d

    Kyra's PovAfter Lisa had felt an evil power hovering around, she insisted that we all took cover inside the camp. We had stayed there for quite some minutes when we heard someone scream. Looking through the window, Ace and I noticed that one of the medicine men had fallen from a tree. We had wanted to see what the mage on a black long dress would do to him, but all we saw was him dragging the medicine man out into the mountain close by. We quickly rushed out to follow the mage who had taken the medicine man alive. Lisa had told us it would be dangerous,but weren't ready to miss out on what exactly they needed the man for. At least we must have to save the man from whatever plans they had towards taking him. " Do you think they had gone that way?", I asked Ace , When we could no longer get trace of the mage again. If Lisa was here it would have been easy for her to tell where the mage was as she was good in perceiving powers." I think we should go this way", he said pointing at th

    Rahl's PovI received an urgent message from one my men about the Alpha and the medicine man escaping. This was news that really got me so angry." How was it possible that people got into my cave and helped two unconscious men escapewl without being caught by my large number of mages which guarded the cave.I was so fierce that I had to scold all everyone to take into the bush in search of the escapers . I wasn't going to let anyone get in here and leave to declare the secrets in public ,I immediately joined my men in search for the people who ran. Getting to the exit , a message came from one of my men ,who had gone with Squid to Crystal moon Pack in search for the arriving Alpha." Master, Squid has been stabbed by the Alpha who arrived and he also escaped".On hearing thati immediately instructed one of my men to get the guard locked up, how would they have allowed anyone stab Squid. He was my right hand man and if he died then my plans would have to fail . Squid was of much impor

    Kyra's PovDeep into the woods ,we kept walking when we had an unusual sound. I felt the presence of someone and so did Ace and the rest that were with us . Immediately he asked that we stop and look around to know if the evil mages were in any way close by. We were keen to find out what had made that noise . We stood close to each other looking side by side. "Help me! help me ", a voice sounded out of nowhere. We looked towards the direction where the voice came from, taking few steps forward while beckoning on others to stay behind,we immediately found Hades heading towards us. He seemed to be very tired and covered with lots of blood , gushing from his head."What happened to you", I asked rushing towards him and holding him as he fell over me. Ace lends a supportive hand and we got him to a sitting position." I lost all my men at Crystal pack", he said.I immediately understood that the evil mages must have used their black magical powers on his men. it was quite bad tha

    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

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

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

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

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 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.

    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
