“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

Sounds like lady Anya. Gosh I can't stand her gold digging self. Ugh. I hope she puts her in her place. But unfortunately if she uses her powers like she will probably need to, she'll demonstrate them and will be found out by anyas master. Damned if you do, damned if you dont

    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

    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   I don't know how I feel

    It was so sudden that it gave me a scare. I kept quiet for a while and try to listen in on my environment if I would hear them again but after waiting for some time and I heard nothing, I concluded that maybe I was the one hearing things. "Good. Let those that are around gather at the assembly hall. I will join them in a while." After a while, I heard my mate's voice again. I tried following the sound of his voice while calling out to him this time around but came to a stop when I once again heard the giggling of the pups which got me stopping in my track and tried to listen attentively to know where the voices are coming from. "Hello!!! Who is there? Is anyone there?" I called out in the direction their sounds were coming from. No one but their laughter which started fading answered me. In order not to miss their sounds, I redirected my steps towards the path their laughter was coming from and started trailing it befor

  • The Silver Wolf   what I saw had me speechless. 

    "Are you being serious right now, Alexa? is this a prank you want to pull on me?" I asked her just to be sure I heard her right."Oh come on Ash, this isn't something that I will jest about. All that I said are the result of the tests Mother carried out on you herself just so we are sure of what we are dealing with here."'If that is true Ash, then there's nothing to be worried about here.' Aura finally spoke but I wasn't sure what she was getting at here.'What do you mean Aura?''What I mean is that we will have birthed our pups before the enemy begins their attacks hopefully, depending on our fast they grow, therefore we won't have to be on bed rest by the time the war begins and we also won't have to worry much about putting their lives in danger. Besides we will be able to be of help when the war starts.'Lost in thought, I felt my mate flex his hold on my hand, drawing me out of my thoughts."Mi Amore, you don't need to be

    I turned around and gave Alexa a tight hug while whispering "thank you" repeatedly to her ears. "Hehehe, alright alright Ash, don't get all emotional on me now." She patted me on the back before releasing me and taking a step back. "You look astounding naturally all I did was just to heighten your look." "Notwithstanding, thank you, Alexa." I turned towards Lyra also and said, "Thank you Lyra, I appreciate your assisting me also." "Y...your Highness" She became teary when she heard my words, "It... it's my duty, your highness." "Still, I want you to know I appreciate you." I smiled at her. nodding her head as the tears flowed down her face, "T... thank you, your highness." "Fine. Whatever pleases you. Can we go now? It's time to present yourself to everyone." Alexa drags me out of the chamber excitedly commenting on how many werewolves came to the palace just to catch a glimpse of me, even if it's from afar.

  • The Silver Wolf   Uncle Maxwell

    Patting my hand that held his, he said through the mind link, “Smile Mi Amore.” He didn’t have to tell me twice before I did so. A minute later, they all came to their feet and an elderly man clothed in a formal morning dress. The Morning Dress ensemble comprises a cutaway tailcoat, striped trousers, a turndown collar shirt, a waistcoat, and a bowtie. The Morning coat is a black single-breasted coat with a single-button closure and a peaked lapel, which were beautifully decorated with golden embroidery. From his outfit and aura, you could tell that he is of noble lineage. The moment he stepped forward and my eyes locked on him, I felt strangely unsettled. There was something about him that bugs me to beware of him. To stay far away from him. When he was just a few steps away from us, I unconsciously took a step back away from him, which had him stopping in his track. A surprise a

  • The Silver Wolf   this boldness of yours

    My mate raised his free hand that wasn't holding me, at the people to indicate that they should resume their bustling. We continued our walk towards the high table that was specifically placed for the Royal family, on a high podium at the center, facing the ballroom. The Queen, Pince Brice, and surprisingly Princess Alexa were already seated there, leaving two empty seats at the center of the table, that I presume to be ours, unoccupied. I wonder how Alexa got there before us, without coming out through the way we did. But I guess that's an obvious thing to know as various entrances are leading to the ballroom. Just below the podium to the right, the Alphas and their mate sat at a table. While opposite their table, to the left of the podium, sat some fashionably dressed werewolves, that look so different from the rest of the crowd. Following these two tables, were scattered smaller ones across the room, where the rest of those

  • 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

    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

  • The Silver Wolf   my heart gripped in severe pain

    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
