The Larinth?” Daisy repeated in confusion.“I’m sure you don’t know what that means, you can ask Seth.” Roman said, and signaled a guard to bring Seth closer.Seth heard everything that Roman said, all his father ever told him about the Larinth is “it should never fall into the wrong hands because once upon a time, it was a killing machine.” Seth never really knew of the importance of the Larinth, he was just blindly keeping to his father’s words and now, this absurd request of Roman’s gave him deep concern. If Roman wants it, it had to be very important.Roman, who is known for his expertise in enslaving a pack to become the sole alpha of all packs just suddenly abandons his goals for the Larinth? That didn’t make any sense at all to Seth, or did he just take pity on Daisy? Impossible! Roman was incapable of doing that, he only has a soft spot for his daughter, Freya.Seth had a plan, but he feared that Roman wouldn’t buy it. It was worth the shot anyways.“Go on… Ask him.” Roman sa
“What’s wrong?” Oliver asked as he crossed paths with Seth who was coming from the gate. It is a separate building from the pack house, designed solely for the safekeeping of the Larinth.The Larinth being one of the things Seth’s father entrusted to his care, he didn’t enlighten him much about it because he didn’t feel the need to. It’s been dormant for several years ever since the incident with its inventor, Darin.The story used to be passed on to children of the next generation but Seth’s father failed to pass it on to him. If Roman finds out that Seth played him, things would get out of hand, he’d probably do something worse than burning them alive.Seth was devastated by this development that he didn’t hear Oliver speak to him.“Seth!” Oliver said for the fifth time, tapping him and Seth collected his thoughts and replied.“Hey, Oli” Seth said, feigning a weak smile.Oliver knew him too well, he was certain that something is up, something serious.“What’s wrong?” Oliver asked fo
“I’m so sorry, Seth. I feel so ashamed for my actions. I shouldn’t have sided with Freya, I should have stood by you and fought with you when you lost your dad, I shouldn’t have let Roman get to me.Please my son, forgive me.” Klara pleaded with tears flowing from her eyes, she was deeply sorry for her actions and if given the opportunity to take back the hands of time, she would do things differently.Seth and Oliver weren’t the least moved by her tears, they didn’t want to consider the possibility that she may be truly sorry, they weren’t there to repair their broken relationship, they were there for answers but with the looks of things, they wouldn’t get the answers they sought without forgiving her first.“There’s no need for that, we are here for something different,” Seth said, pulling her away from his legs which she held so firmly as she wailed and begged shamelessly.A few moments later, Dan got down on his knees too and joined his mother to beg for forgiveness.“I know she w
“Yes, and Elijah too,” Seth said, burying his face in his hands.“That is not good…” Kara said, obviously worried.“And Roman would burn the pack house down if he doesn’t get it by tomorrow. You know how Roman is, he’d do it.” Oliver said.“You should leave here, inform the pack, you all have to flee… Roman would not stop until you all are dead. When you all get to a safe place, you can track Elijah and the Larinth down.“Where would we go to? We’ve lived here all our lives. We have no place to go.” Oliver complained.“I have a place, in Italy. My company owns several estates there; we can use one for the meantime.” Seth said.“Thank you, aunt Klara, see you,” Oliver said as he hugged Klara.“Bye, aunt Klara. I hope you stay healthy” Seth said as he kissed her right cheek. He knew he was asking for the impossible, Klara was terminal and he may never see her again.They both left the house, Seth felt a lot lighter, all these years, he had been carrying the grudge. But then, he paused f
There was a knock on the door and immediately they knew it was time to leave. Seth gave Daisy a kiss on her forehead and moved to check who was at the door, it was William. “The car is ready outside, it’s time to leave”“I’ll get Gabriel.” Daisy said as Williams moved their already packed bags downstairs.They got to the car, there were two SUVs for Seth’s and Oliver’s family, two coastal buses for the rest of the pack members.They drove down to the airport, it was about 8:45 pm at the time. Seth had already made early arrangements and without wasting much time, they got boarded on the plane and set off to Italy.It was a smooth and sad journey, Daisy held Gabriel’s hands firmly due to his fear for heights. After eight hours of flying, the plane landed in Bologna. They moved to one of the estates under Seth’s name in the city, he’s into real estate management and has a handful of buildings in several cities in the world. Seth is very wealthy but he never shows it, he can afford all
“What do you mean? Oliver asked, dropping the glass of wine he was holding.“What I just said. Elijah is not a member of this pack… How come he was made the gatekeeper to the great gate?” Seth asked, devastatingly.“Shit!” Oliver cussed.“This is gonna be a very long chase and we have no idea where to start from,” Seth said, cupping his face with his hands, he did that mostly when he was in a fix.“We’re in this together, brother,” Oliver said, reassuring Seth.“First off, we have to look into each person that has been a gatekeeper in the past, from my little findings, the O’Neills have been appointed three times,” Seth said.“We should start this investigation immediately, the Larinth must not be tampered with,” Oliver said.**“Mommy… I want to see Gabriel, it’s been a while.” Gordon said to Christine. Since they moved into the new house a week ago, she hadn’t let Gordon step out of the room, she was surveying the surrounding, looking out for places she’d mark as a “no-no” for Gor
“Wolf blood witches? What’s that?” Seth asked, expressing his confusion.Christine sat by a corner, crying her eyes out. “My baby’s gonna die.” She wailed.“What?” Both Seth and Oliver said.All through their conversation, not once did they consider the possibility of death but Christine was so sure that he’d die. There had to be something she wasn’t saying.“I almost forgot… The premonition…” Christine fell to the ground.“What’s wrong? What did you almost forget?” Oliver asked, helping her up from the ground while Seth carried Gordon to Dr. Bennett’s quarters. Seth brought him along in case of emergencies like this.“This is not exactly a great way to celebrate our anniversary.” Christine said, with a weak smile.“Come on, baby… Tell me.” Oliver said and kissed her forehead.“Well, it’s like an occult group. They grant solution to every problem, my parents wanted a child so bad that they consulted them. I was born after, when I was six, they wanted me back for some big ritual.My pa
Seth and Oliver were surprised, but Oliver wasn’t so surprised, Christine had briefed him earlier.“Father, don’t you think we should proceed with the specification?” Oliver asked, a bit skeptical.“No, not yet.” Father Benjamin said with a brief chuckle. He seemed so calm about it.The little boy was on the verge of losing his life but he wasn’t shaken at all. As if he had absolute faith that he’d be alright.“Katrina is quite tricky but she can’t fool me. This is just a show, the real deal hasn’t begun yet. They are night walkers and do not have the ability to perpetuate any evil during the day. We’ll wait till then.” Father Benjamin said.As he dabbed a white piece of cloth with water he got from a small container. It had the sign of the cross on it, no doubt it was holy water.“Who is Katrina?” Oliver asked.“Katrina… She’s the current regent. Each year, a blood sacrifice is required, mostly from the benefactors of their evil services.I've tried to reach out to a lot of people to
