“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

    The strange woman was still screaming when I found out It was Laura and the woman on the ground, weak and tattered was my mother.“Mother?” I cried out, bending over to hug her even with how dirty she looked. She looked so different from the woman I knew but I could identify my mother even in a crowd filled with humans.Her long dark hair was wild, her clothes torn and dusty. She had a bruise on ther upper arm which was pretty bad.“Take her inside.” I ordered no one in particular but then two warriors carried her carefully into Diane's chambers. I then turned my attention to Laura, she too looked horrible and hurt but I didn't care.“You can leave.” I simply said and turned around to go.“I saved your mother.” She said, clutching her elbow in pain as blood dripped slowly. She was in pain but I knew it was all an act to get back into my life. I stared down at her in disgust, not willing to bring myself to her level.“I didn't ask you to, so leave. I don't want another trsitor around m

    At the hospital, Laura was recovering from the bruise and lacerations she had sustained. Diane had told me how hurt she was and how bad it was.I didn't feel bad for her in any way, how could I? When I remembered all she had done. Diane had told me to speak to her once or twice but I never listened to her.Yesterday, I had gone to the hospital out of curiosity so I could literally see for myself what she was talking about. When I entered, the usual smell of antiseptic and drugs disturbed my stomach. I despised coming to the hospital and this strong dislike started from when I was little, the exact time I had lost my father.It was just like any normal day in the clan when suddenly we heard a loud noise, we all ran inside to protect ourselves. I could remember how my father had hid me and had gone to fight the men that had the audacity to visit his clan. He was killed, right in front of my eyes.He died on the spot but he was rushed to the hospital where he couldn't be revived and sinc

    I took a deep breath again, then I shook my head. Everything that I had said to Laura all came from a place of hurt and I meant every single word.I lied about one thing though. I lied when I said that I didn't care. I did care. That was the reason I visited, that was the reason I avoided eye contact, that was the reason I wished she'd get better.I knew what I had said to her hurt her but I just wanted her to feel how it was for me when she left me for Mascot. She had chosen to forget all the memories we shared and had chosen to forsake me.I wanted her to feel the exact way I felt. Was it revenge? Revenge was a strong word but whatever it was, I just wanted her to experience it. I wanted to know how I felt.As I walked back to my chambers, my eyes were cast downwards and I was in deep thought. My voice was a soft inaudible murmur as I wondered what next.“Lucas seemed to have lots of clans on my side, how would I get others on my side too?” I wondered.Lucas was a strong soldier who

    I was about to gulp down the first spoon of my porridge when I saw Damien emerge from a corner, walking towards us.“He's back.” His sister repliedI acknowledged his presence by nodding. He suddenly slowed down walking when he saw me sitting and speaking to his little sister.“Welcome. You have a visitor.” She said as he approached us. His eyes wide with wonder and then filled with surprise.“Finally.” I said jokingly when he got to us.“You're waiting for me? Is there a problem?”“No, there's not.” I answered. “I wanted us to talk.” I looked up at him with expectant eyes. He couldn't stop staring and I understood it was the fact that I came over to his place without informing him.“Let's talk.” He urged me.“No, let her eat her porridge first, then you guys can go and talk wherever you want.” Her sister replied and I laughed.“Thank you for the porridge, this tastes really nice.” I said and took more spoons of the food. She went in to serve her brother too. I could only wonder how s

    I snapped out of it immediately, asking my question again. “Do you have a girlfriend?” “No.” He answered, looking away. “It didn't seem so.” I answered, looking away. When I looked back, he was staring at me. “What do you mean? He asked with a baffled look on his face. “Well, no offense, you don't just look like someone who even believes in love.” I said, not wanting to hurt his ego. “Well. Love is for weak people.” He said loudly and strongly but the look in his eyes said something entirely different. His eyes looked hurt and I knew that he must have gone through some hurt in the past. “I'm sorry for whatever hurt you.” I responded as he turned to me, staring blankly. “Goodbye for now.” As I jiggled back to Diane's chambers, I stopped to look back and he was still there, probably still in shock about the questions I asked him. As I walked back, I noticed that the stars began to twinkle in the sky, it was such a beautiful sight to behold. I wished my mother could see it with me

    The next morning, Damein was already waiting for me at the chamber given to Alpha-king Magnus by the people. We entered and he welcomed us quite happily.It was a room not quite befitting for an Alpha-king but he accepted it since that was his only option.“I hope this place is comfortable?” Damein asked him. I just stared, with no feeling of care for a man whose brother was after my life and that of my family.“Yes, it's nothing like my Palace but I'm grateful.”I didn't want to come but I had to because I had to hear him out. I didn't hate Alpha-king Magnus but I didn't like him either. He was not just someone I could talk to whenever I had problems with work.“How are you, Naomi?” He asked me, staring intently knowing fully well, I didn't like him. “How's your mother?”“She's fine.” I simply answered.“Can I see her today?” He asked me and I shrugged my shoulders indicating that I didn't care what he did with his time. I knew he was trying to open up to him. I was trying to be care

    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
