Walking into the dungeon, the first thing that hit me was the pungent smell coming from within the walls. I didn’t or would I say wasn’t expecting it, but because I was determined to see Micaela and thought to myself that it’s also living beings that are placed here and watches over the prisoners, I Just had to force myself to adjust to it.
I followed my mate down the narrow hallway leading to different cell doors on both sides of the corridor.
As we walk, I tried not to make eye contact with the hostages occupying each cell but despite my avoiding them, I couldn’t help sharing eye gaze with some of them.
The demeanor I saw in them wasn’t one I wished to perceive. In some, I saw total despair that had me thinking they were wishing for death to find them the very moment they noticed the presence of my mate. It was as if they saw the devil himself when they look at him. S

Moved by her tears, I leaned forward and hug her, letting her cry her fill out while soothing her. I patted her on the back and stood by her to calm down before I released her. Gasping for air, she responded with much difficulty, “Y… Y… Your Highness.” I reached for her palms and stroked them in a reassuring rhythm. “I’m here Micaela. Speak to me when you are ready. Just have it in mind that I’m here to help you out of here. I promise to find the one behind all this.” I reassured her as calmly as I could. She lowered her head in dejection, not speaking a word, and I watched her patiently as I wait for her to make the first move to communicate with me after stating that. A little while later, she finally raised her head and glanced me in the eye with tears flowing down hers.

“Are you sure Micaela?” I asked her to confirm if she was sure that was where she kept the note. “Yes, Your Highness. I’m hundred percent sure that was where I kept it.” “Alright, Micaela. I will go to your quarters and get the note. Let’s just hope it will lead us somewhere.” “T… thank you, your highness. Thank you for not doubting me, Your Highness. I don’t know what would have become of me if you hadn’t. I… I’m forever indebted to you, your highness.” I patted her hands reassuringly and said, “You don’t have to. I promise you we are going to get to the end of this. We will find the culprit, but for us to do so without attracting their attention and giving them hints about us knowing you they framed you, we will still keep you here.” She looked slightly scared when she heard what I said and wanted to say something before I cut her off and reassured her by saying, “I know what you are about to say, but this is the
The Silver Wolf several footsteps coming our way.
Not too bright, and not too dim. It was adequately bright enough to allow those passing through it to see where they were going. Curious about how the tunnel came to be if it’s been here for ages or was just recently created, who and who knows it’s here or is he the only one that knows about its existence, I asked him through the mind link. In which he responded as ‘Brice recently discovered it when he tracked down the scent of Lady Anya here. This is where they used to sneak into the Palace, alerting none of the guards on duty.’ That’s interesting. I didn’t know they were this deep into the Palace. I wonder for how long this their so-called plan has been for them to have time to construct this tunnel within the palace grounds or… has the tunnel been here before now and they discovered it, which gave them an advantage into the palace? ‘Do you have any idea when the tunnel was built?’ I asked him through the mind link.
The Silver Wolf see you soon?
He shook his head in disagreement with what I stated. “I do not believe someone was here before us. If so, I would have picked up a whiff of their remaining scent the moment we walked into the room, but it’s Micaela’s scent that lingers in the room.” Now that he called my attention to the scent hovering in the room, I didn’t bother to take in a deep breath before Micaela’s scent filled up my nostril. His words had me realizing what was going on… or… would I say… what had just happened, even though I refused to accept it. I refused to think otherwise. Because of my dire wish to get the note, I gave little thought to the scent that lingers in the room, which allowed me not to detect the scent and instead concluded that someone else had access to the room. Plus, what gave me the notion that someone else entered the room before we did was because we met the door unlocked when we got here. But I wasn’t able to confirm it, seeing we h

“Ok.” I stood there and watched him as he walked away from me and hurried towards the eastern part of the pack grounds till I could no longer see his figure. Praying for the safety of the guards and pack members that stay in that part of the pack, I turned and resumed my walk towards the Palace. I hadn’t taken up to ten steps when I suddenly heard movement around us. Becoming alert, “did you hear that?” I asked my guards, who were now by my side. They gave me a skeptical look, not knowing what I was talking about. I stopped walking and looked around us, heightening my hearing to see if I would pick up another movement. Not a minute later, I heard a branch being stepped on towards our right side and when I trailed

Giving a gagging sound, she continues, “That sounds awful in my mouth. I will just stick to calling your disgusting name.” The owner of the voice finally stepped forward from the shadows of her… I don’t know what to call them… subordinates… maybe. It did not surprise me to see who it was. “Lady Anya.” “Please hold your greetings. Keep it to yourself. I’m not here for that, and I don’t need it.” She stopped a few feet away from me, looked me up and down as though disgusted by what she was seeing before she resumed her walk, but this time encircling us as she speaks. “By now I know you must have guessed what was going on here and who among your maids is my little birdie. At first, I thought she wouldn’t be able to carry out the task, but she proved me wrong and did it even beyond my expectation brilliantly. I mean, she did it effortlessly that she could fool you and Prince Zeid, which is a surprise for me because he hardly
The Silver Wolf lost complete consciousness.
I nodded in response to him and said "Yes I'm perfectly alright. You know your sister, Princess Alexa is quite right whenever she calls you a worrywart." Raising his brows at me, "Meaning..." "Meaning you worry too much. You need to learn to tone it down a little, my dear handsome mate." I said brushing imaginary dust off his shoulders. "Is that so, Mi Amore?" he grabs me by my waist and drew me closer to him till we were standing chest to chest with no gap between us. "Yes my Prince." I patted his chest aware of the attention we were drawing to ourselves. I mean we weren't the only ones there. Several werewolves were there including my guards, the ones he brought along with him, and unfortunately, lady Anya, who was looking at us with hate-filled eyes. He noticed my discomfort and released me before turning to look at Lady Anya. "Who do we have here? Lady Anya, It's a pleasure to see you gracing us with your presence onc

I walk out of the hall and made my way straight towards the direction of my mate. "Not so fast bro. I know you are worried about my sister-in-law, but Mother has requested your audience and is expecting you at the moment." I knew at this moment my wish to get to my mate's side as soon as possible was just wishful thinking. Coming to a stop I eyed him with annoyance, "Where's Mother?" Raising his hands defensively, "Hey bro, don't take it out on me, I'm just a messenger here." Feeling slightly frustrated, I pinched the middle of my eyebrows and repeated my question, "where is Mother?" "She's in her private library, and bro I..." No longer interested in what he had to say, I turned and made my way towards my mother's chamber where her private library was located. On getting there, I knocked once to make my presence known before entering the library and saw her sitting in her favorite place be

The Silver Wolf she was back.
It’s been years since the war happened, and ever since, things had changed drastically. To be precise, it’s been five years, four months, two weeks, three days, eight hours, twelve minutes, and eighteen seconds, since the war.Yeah, I’ve been keeping count and during those periods, things have drastically changed.After the attack, we were able to locate where Lady Anya and the rest of their groups were hiding and annihilated them immediately. We made sure that there will be no more uprising from them or any other forces.And after the clean-up, we moved further within the walls of the forest where it will be so difficult to locate the palace and where no arms could befall my unconscious mate.She has yet to regain her consciousness after so many years, leaving us to only hope for a miracle to happen.The first few months were heart reeking for everyone as her life kept slipping away several times but mother and her team worked th
The Silver Wolf The mate bond breaking
Walking into their room, I saw two of the most adorable pups ever, lying down in their cribs, sleeping peacefully and not having a clue of what was going on around them. I walk quietly towards them and saw that they weren’t only adorable but they looked so much like her. Even though they were just given birth to, the similarities between them and their mother were so obvious. My heart suddenly tightened in severe pain and went on my knees as I held my heart tightly. This only indicated one thing, and that was my mate struggling for her life and slipping away. I stood up to run towards the infirmary but came to a halt as my pups suddenly burst out crying at the same time and I knew instantly they also felt what I felt just now. I turned around and walk back towards them, ignoring the pain I was feeling. I can’t let them go through it. They are too little to be feeling this much pain. I need to do something to stop them from feeling such

She finally showed how she was feeling and I understood at that moment what she meant.“Can I see her?” I asked her and diverted my eyes away from her and towards the operating room.“Yes, once she is cleaned and taken to the ward.”After hearing what she said, I ignored her and went back to my previous position. I could feel her looking at me and wanting to say more but right now, I’m not in the mood to hear anything from her.Right now all I could think of is my mate, and the more I think of how she is lying down there on the bed, helplessly, my anger towards Mother Increased.An hour later or so, she was finally pushed out of the operating room by several medical aids and into the room they had prepared for her. I walked towards them and maintained a close distance as I follow them to the room. I waited for them at the entrance to get her situated and when they were done attending to her; they all bowed at me and left the room one afte
The Silver Wolf I tried my best son.
I closed my eyes and waited for the brunt of his sword to descend on me while with the last hope in me; I reach out to the mother goddess for a last-minute miracle.After waiting for what felt like hours to feel the brunt of his sword against my skin, I opened my eyes gradually to see what has stopped him from doing so.Only to see him convulsing on the ground before me with blood gushing out of his ears, eyes, nose, mouth, literally every part of his body was bleeding, and within seconds, he bled out dried, and died. I was taken aback at the sudden change of event as I watched him dry up to bones in front of me. I hadn’t gotten out of my shock and confusion when I suddenly felt the presence of my mate beside me.I quickly turned to face her direction and just in time, saw her losing consciousness. I ran towards her and caught her before she could hit the floor.Not knowing what was going on and why she was here covered in blood, I tried to shake he

ZeidI braced myself for what was to come as I watch him gradually make his way towards me.It felt like hours before he got to where I was standing, whereas it was just a few seconds.I took a shaken step back when I finally saw who it was."Surprise!!!" he said with his hands spread out wide and a huge smile on his face."Un... Uncle Maxwell. Y... You are the mastermind behind this." I stammered in surprise."Hehehe, of course. Who else has the power to do so if not me? Besides Zeid, It is very obvious that someone with ability is the one behind it all. Besides, you had me thinking of how dumb you could be by not thinking outside the box to find out. I mean who else apart from the Royal families can display an ounce of ability. Considering the fact that I'm also a royal, you should have discovered me a long time ago. Tsk"He mocked.“But why would you think so? To you and my cousin, I was anything but a royal and hardly anyon
The Silver Wolf The voice sounded so familiar
I quickly contemplated on what to do as the pain gradually set in. From the distance at which I saw them to the palace, it will take them approximately five to six hours to get here if I’m not mistaken. Therefore it gives the palace guards and the warriors enough time to prepare for their arrival if I contact my mate and inform him about it. After making up my mind, I open the mind link between my mate and me and informed him immediately but left behind the news of me going into labor so as not to distract him. Not long after I told him, all the warriors around the palace were summoned to prepare for the upcoming battle and the war bell was rung as a warning to everyone that we were under attack. While my mate opened a general mind link to all the pack members that the women that were not warriors, with all the children and the elderly were to retreat to the safe bunk immediately. Seeing that everywhere was in an uproar, I walked gradually into the cham
The Silver Wolf everything has been smooth sailing
I let out a heave of disappointment as I thought she might know who it was.“Rest assured my dear, that even though we don’t know his identity and the length of what he is capable of doing, we have you to save everyone. You are destined to do so and you will succeed in doing so.” She assured me.“Yes, mother. That’s why I’ve come to seek your guidance.”“Alright child, enough talking. Let’s begin. Oh, before I forgot, I will summon Zeid to…”Hearing this, I panicked immediately because I didn’t want him to know about any of this, and interrupted her saying, “No mother, please don’t. I don’t want him to know about this.”She was slightly surprised at my outburst before shaking her head and saying, “Of course child, knowing how my son can be, I wouldn’t dare. The reason why I want to summon him was to tell him to move your coronation forward.
The Silver Wolf you know who is behind it all?
“What…what do you mean by that?” My mate asked him. His voice deepened in anger.“What I mean to say was that Lady Anya vanished into thin air immediately after the dungeon was attacked. No one knew how it happened because she didn’t escape through the entrance. We only knew of her disappearance when a guard went to check if any of the inmates escaped, and she happened to be the only one that did.But bro, what baffled me was that she escaped with her cell gate still intact. There was no forced entrance or damage to the door. It was also still locked when we got there after the guard came to report to us. It was as though she disappeared just like that. It doesn’t sound logical but that was what happened.” He explained to my mate.To say I was surprised by the turn of events would be a lie. I knew from the moment I heard that there was an attack at the dungeon, that this would be the result.My mate kept quiet fo
