Who was it that told Lucas my whereabouts? Who betrayed me? Was it Laura or that greedy bustard, Thorne?

I was exhausted with the whole stuff but I needed to get to my mother so they wouldn't harm her.

Why would Lucas want to kidnap my mother in the first place? I wondered. I couldn't sleep, not when my mother's life was in danger, so I picked up the little luggage that belonged to me and my mum, some mushrooms and the remaining water and headed for that path where I had last seen my mother.

The path I was on could also lead me to Shadowcrest so I kept walking. I keep straining my eyes and ears to hear from her once again. I actually had no clear plan, only to keep moving and fight if I had to.

The fear of losing my mother gnawed at me especially when I knew that I was the reason she was in the forest in the first place. I felt horrible and guilty as I kept walking, praying to see a track of her somewhere.

I couldn't cry, not because I was affected but I didn't want to bring so much a

    I watched Diane as she still lay on her bed, still not being able to move since yesterday when the ugly incident happened. Till this moment, I still blamed myself for what happened.Just this morning, I noticed her skin going pale and her breathing shallow. I was scared that I had caused this. I was afraid that I might have caused her the pain she was experiencing. I was still grieving about the fact that I was in search of my mother and now, this? What the hell was actually going on?“She'll be okay. The illness is making it hard for her to have a fast recovery but she'll be okay.” The doctor told us.I was relieved when I heard that. I.could easily breathe now but was still a little agitated.As I sat there waiting for her to open her eyes finally, I thought of all the ways I could help bring back my mother. I had hoped that the people of Shadowcrest would help me find her but who would help me anymore seeing that the only ruler they know is lying down, motionless on the hospital

    I was grateful to Diane for her help.“Do you think I should go with them? I actually can't sit here relaxed while my mother is in custody. That would be very bad of me.” I told her, trying to make her understand.“Do you think that's a good idea?”“Yes. I do. I want to help. I feel so guilty for bringing her out to this forest and now, she's been kidnapped. It's all my fault.”“You think so?” She asked, trying to remove the hair on my face. “Well, if this is what you want to do, then no problem.”“Thank you, so much. Diane. You have been the best person I have gotten to know these past few months. I love you so much.” I said, hugging the breath out of her.She laughed and then coughed, reminding me that she was sick.“Oh. I'm sorry but you're simply the best.” I said to her, then paid more attention to what she was eating. “What's that?”I asked Diane but instead got a response from the nurse. “This is her drug but in a mashed form, we wanted to make sure she'll eat so we had to make

    How could we get into that place without getting noticed so no one would know that we came? I thought and wondered, trying to come up with what to do.Later that evening, I still hadn't made up my mind on what I should do and how I should go about it. I knew that Lucas would have the whole place surrounded by his men who were ever ready to kill so I had to plan well so I wouldn't get hurt or hurt my mother in the process.I thought of speaking to Laura first and convincing to be my friend again so she could help me save my mother but I was against that option.If Laura had truly turned against me because she loved Mascot and wanted to prove it to him, then nothing I say would make her change her mind. She was on her own now and she would face the consequences since she brought it up upon herself.After all, she plotted to have my mother kidnapped, why would she help me save her? She knew that we were going to Shadowcrest that was why she was able to kidnap my mother when I was there.

    When I turned I was shocked with what I saw. We were standing directly in front of the hut when some men drove past of us, then parked. We were covered by thick forests around us so they couldn't see us.They dragged out someone whom had been beaten up very badly. I was still trying to understand what was going on, when one of the men pushed the hurt man down.“Why did you bring him here?” The first man who looked more aggressive asked.“Well, the boss asked that he should be kept with his wife.”“You mean the strange woman who had refused to eat anything is his wife? Hmm. Strange.”“Everything is wrong with that family. Everything.” The second man agreed.I knew they were talking about our family and calling my mother the strange woman but who was the man that they called her husband.I looked closely but I could see his face since his back was turned against me.“Take this fool in there too.” The first man ordered.“Shouldn't we wait for the boss?” The second man asked, lighting up

    I followed them feeling dejected. The plans I had in my mind had been messed up by Damien. As we walked home I didn't want to think about the fact that I had saved someone I regarded as my enemy instead of my mother who was the core reason I organized an army in the first place.When we got to Stormclaw, I was tired and frustrated and Diane could see that by the look on my face.“What happened?” She ran to me when she saw the strange man that was brought with us. She expected us to come home with a woman who would be introduced as the Alpha's wife.“What happened?” She asked again.I was too angry and tired to respond so I went to sit. All the while, Alpha-king Magnus whimpered in pain as they carried him all the way to Stormclaw. “We had to rescue this man and not her mother.” Damien cut in, trying to save himself.“But that was the sole reason for going there in the beginning. Why would leave her mother out of the plan and save a stranger?” Diane complained.“Stranger? He isn't a

    “You don't have to talk like that.” I told him, then sat next to him. He must have been shocked because he turned to gaze at me but I ignored him. “You behave and talk like someone I know.”“Who's that? Your boyfriend.” He guessed correctly but then I, myself was confused and wondered if I should still consider Thorne, my boyfriend.“Well, funny story. He was supposed to be my boyfriend but he bailed on me and left me hanging.” I chuckled. “What a beautiful love story, isn't it?”Damein could notice the sarcasm in my voice because he turned to me. “Whatever happened, I'm sorry about that.”I didn't think he was going to ask but because I wanted so badly to someone, I indulged him. “I'm sure you'll like to hear the story.” I began to talk without waiting for his response. “Well, when I met him, he was just like you, proud and grumpy..”“I'm not grumpy.” Damien retorted immediately and I smiled back at him.“You may not know it.” I told him and then continued my story. “Anyway, did I me

    Diane was not going to take any attitude from the King and the fact that he actually kept quiet and listened to her made me smile. I finally found someone that could help keep the King's mouth shut and his behavior in check. It was beautiful to watch. As we sat some distance away from the angry Alpha-king, we asked him some questions.“You asked why you were here, right?” Diane started. “Well, it's because we were kind enough to save you.”“Actually, he was kind enough to save you.” I pointed at Damien while emphasizing on the ‘he’.“You never liked me.” The Alpha-king retorted.“You didn't like me either but why does that matter now? Let's go back to the questions.” I said, ignoring whatever he was trying to drive at.“So as I said, he was kind enough to save you but for good reason though, that you would answer all the questions that we have for you, truthfully, too.” Diane continued.“What questions are they?” Alpha-king Magnus asked rudely. “I hope it's questions that I can answ

    “So, you know him?” I asked, transfixed. “I have seen him a couple of times when he came to the clan to speak to me.” Diane told me, finally coming to the realization of how dangerous Lucas could be. “The question is why does he want to be Alpha of Shadowcrest and why didn't he fight to get it from you guys?” “Right.” Diane agreed. “We were a small clan with no king so he could have fought us and taken the clan by force. Why didn't he do that?” I and Diana stared at each other and then at Alpha-king Magnus hoping he would chime in and help us but he said no word. “Do you know the reason why?” “No, I don't. The only thing he told me was that he really loved Shadowcrest and wanted to be the Alpha so badly.” Alpha-king Magnus paused. “I did believe him a bit, seeing that even after 13 years, he still wants this clan, I honestly think there's more to it than what we see.” “Of course, that man doesn't just go after things because he loves it. There's a reason and we have to fi

    As the celebration continued, I went over to thank Alpha-king Magnus for his help in helping us gather the warriors even though they didn't do as well as expected.Alpha Logan visited us and celebrated with us.“When we told Lucas that you didn't come into our pack, he didn't believe me and asked that I tell the truth or he'll burn my clan down. I told him everything even though he didn't let me say anything more. He only ran away,promising to deal with me.”“I'm grateful for sacrificing the happiness of your clans just because of me.”“I'm happy to help remember you helped me too.”When Laura's parents later arrived during the day, it was another beautiful encounter with them. They were so glad that we were able to stop Lucas especially when they had tried to do that for such a long time.The whole community was still celebrating when Emily came to have a word with me. “You really outdid yourself. Thank you for bringing peace back to this Park.”She was truly grateful to me and prom

    We were all in our positions waiting for Lucas’ attempt to attack us. We were all in our hiding place, no one saying a word or talking in whispers. It was finally time for me to see what I did for my community.“Maybe we shouldn't have kept so quiet and hid like this.” Laura asked, she had been waiting beside me at the tower where we were watching for any sound in the Bush outside the community.“You think so?” I asked Laura. “Yes. Maybe he now knows that we know that he was coming for us.” Laura said. I was about to laugh but I remembered that if I did that I would blow our cover. We sat down there and waited some more. “Maybe they're not coming like he said.” I said while resting my back at the tower then I heard a sudden sound of a man crying with a loud voice. “They're here.” Suddenly, there was a loud sound of a trumpet. It was truly Lucas and his men as I viewed from where I was. “What exactly is going on?” I asked, unable to process what was happening. “It's Lucas and his

    Thorne was standing right in front of me, then he approached me and then was about to kiss me but then I jumped up from the bed.It was a nightmare that I didn't want to have again. Laura had put me to sleep after I had told her about Thorne. It was early afternoon and I didn't know what exactly to do with the information about him.I had lots of questions in my mind.“Why was he back? What happened to him? Was he sent by Mascot and Lucas?I knew that the only way to get answers to my questions was to actually talk to Thorne and hear from him but I was too upset to do that. I had trusted him so much and he left me without a word. I left my room to go see how Damien and the warriors were working.“Guess what?” Laura was running towards me all excited.“What is it?”“Have you seen Alpha-king Magnus since we came back?”“Not yet. Any problems?”“Not really. Come on.” Laura literally dragged me down the same route with her. We kept running and running till we got downhill to the house she

    I and Damien had decided to go back to Shadowcrest before it got too late to do anything. From the message that Alpha Logan sent to me, I believe that Lucas was already so angry since his own was now against him. I know he was trying to plan against my clan so we needed to gather the soilders we have and train them immediately.“I have sent messages to the Alpha's that we met and they already sent out their regards and then their solders to Shadowcrest so they can began to train.” Damiem said.“And what are you two plotting?” Laura asked as she joined us. She had been spending time with her parents and we didn't want to disturb her.“What are you doing here?”“I came to see you both. What are you both plotting?”“Nothing. We are just planning to go back to Shadowcrest.”“Without me?” Laura asked.“You'll be here with your parents. What did your dad say about supporting us in this fight?” I asked her expecting a positive result.“He's scared because of what happened in the past but he'

    Lucas was literally after our life. As we ran into the Bush, we still didn't feel secure.“I think we should run for our dear lives now. Let's go back to Shadowcrest, I believe we are done for our quest.”“I think so too.”“No. One more pack and we'll go back to Shadowcrest and prepare for the war we are fighting.”“What do you think? Let's go find our horses where we left them, it'll simply make our journey as fast as it should.” Laura suggested still staring backwards checking for Lucas.We located the horses and rode on them as quickly as possible. It was too good to be true for me because I sat comfortably on the horse. Damien had told me that we were heading to Blissfall Park, the last on our list.“We don't have to bother about them welcoming us. I hear they are kind hearted people including their Alpha too.”We took Damien's words into consideration and rode into Blissful Park expecting great things from this park. We got there on time to meet the Alpha in a meeting with his el

    This was my quest, mine alone and the only people allowed to go with me on this quest are people that are willing and not people who are ordered to go with me.I understood the fact that everyone had their life to live to the fullest so I had no fight to take away life from people just because I have the authority or opportunity to do so.I cleared my throat as I was about to speak. “I really appreciate thirsting with you both. It's really nice to know that you have people who really care, not just because they feel indebted but because that's who they are.” I paused, then continued. “When I started this quest, I was angry, upset and afraid. Angry and upset because I kept wondering why it had to be me, why me? Afraid because I didn't know how to face the challenges. I'm saying this because it's only going to make things worse on my side if you have to order or force who doesn't want to on me. That'll be very unfair.”“You don't have to overthink it. That's why they are warriors and wo

    I couldn't decide if our meeting with the wizard was successful or not. Judging from everything he said about me and Laura being strong together, I already knew that there would be many challenges that would come up and we should be ready.“Why do I feel unsatisfied about this?” I wondered to myself and hoped Laura was satisfied with it. It wasn't showing facially that she was happy with how things turned out.I couldn't stop staring intently at Laura's face and keep wondering what was going on in her mind. She was way ahead of us. I was with the Aloha and Damien who was talking about how unclear the wizard was and how it would have been better if he was specific and clear with his words.“What do you think?” Damien asked Alpha Logan after making his point.“Well, all I can say is that he has been doing this for a long time, so he has a good reason for not making anything clear right now but all I can say is that everything would make sense when it was time for it to.” Alpha Logan exp

    “Stop!!” It was an intense order from a voice in the hut.I suspected that the voice I heard was the one of the Wizard. His voice was like the earth on its own, trembling and confident at the same time.“Secrets of the olds are not for the faint hearted.” He said when we were now very close to his sanctuary. His words were like gentle breeze going through the veins. I was still trying to understand what he meant by what he had said earlier but I connected it to the reason why we were here, which was Laura's parents. As I walked slowly behind everyone, it seemed like my heart was afraid of who it was going to meet but he came to sight and I could see his face clearly now. He looked like any other normal person just that he was dressed shabbily. His clothes which were once red in color had turned to a shabby pink, with a rope tied to his waist. Immediately, he set his eyes on us, he started his incantation which sounded funny, then he burst out in laughter. His laughter was like lig

    When it suddenly started raining, we all turned to each other in shock.“Do you believe me now when I say that he would really help you guys. Don't you believe me?” Aloha Logan asked no one in particular. It all looked like he said it was true but we were present.When we left the Palace, I was so sure that I wouldn't experience any rainfall but now the rain was falling like there was no tomorrow.“Oh, no. We'll be drained in the rain. My dress!” Laura exclaimed.“No. He won't let us walk under the rain.” Alpha Logan replied, confidently. He was speaking of the Wizard and was implying that the rain will stop when we get there. We were literally dancing in the carriage because of how bumpy and rough the road was.There were pathways and cracks on different parts of the road that caused us to dance as we rode in the carriage. I was still trying to understand everything the Alpha has been saying about this wizard but I still couldn't. “How is it that he is as powerful as you say but y
