I heard it again. And it keeps on repeating and repeating and repeating nonstop. I guess it will keep on going until the day of our departure. I just laughed and ruffled his hair, "you've been singing that same line for over a thousand of times already. Aren't you tired?" I said, my shoulders going up and down holding my laughter.
He really looks so adorable when he's excited and happy like this. I could feel my heart racing with happiness whenever I see him this happy and relaxed. He looks at me with his child-like smile plastered on his face, "I'm just excited. You know, I don't need to force or beg Grey and Justin to come because they willingly agreed to come to Greece. That means.. you will be going too!" he jumped as he grabbed my hands and shakes it like he won in a lottery.
I patted his hands and smiled at him as I slowly intertwined our hands. Shaun is really like the spring

Two things actually blown my mind away. It was a massive shock to my existence. I'm both happy and terrified, to be honest. I don't really know what to feel. First, I tried telling Justin about Shaun and Grey. About how these two are actually lycanthrope. I didn't even get enough rest and sleep just by thinking about how the hell can I tell her about it. I had almost a hundred ways to tell her. I could just literally blurt it out, or I could just show her. Maybe I could lend her the book Grey gave me and let her realize it herself, but no concrete plan about the whole damn thing. I'm really screwed.So, yeah. I called her early in the morning, told her we need to see each other as soon as possible, blah blah blah. I also told her that I need to tell her something and that she should not think of me as a crazy wench with nonsense only coming out from my mouth.My heart was pounding real hard that time, I thought it would go out from my

This is it! Today is the day.Winter remind us that we should gathered up after the sun sets. I already packed my things up and said my farewell to Peter who almost jumped because of excitement for our trip and had this giggly expression on his face. He kept on teasing me while I walked away with Shaun on my side. He looks like a mom who's getting excited for her daughter's first date.That kind of thing. I can't do anything but laugh.My heart swelled with unexplainable excitement and fear as I pulled my luggage with me. Every step that I took felt so frightening and exciting. It feels like there's a whole band inside of me, playing some rock and roll songs. With a little blues on the side.After running away five years ago, this is the first time I will be setting a foot outside the place who gave me the chance to live again after series of heartbreaks and rejections. The town I have already considered as my home.Somehow

"My lord, it's time," my servant said, handing me a bow and an arrow.I gently put the arrow on the bow and pulled the strings hard until I can't pulled it anymore. I took a deep breath and calm myself as I focus in the target in front of me. One wrong move could threaten it and it would run away as fast as it can. I need to be careful and quiet.I steady my arms and calm my nerves. For one last time, I took a deep breath and release the arrow on my bow.I could hear the whimper of the poor animal as my arrow pierce into it deeply. Its blood spilling everywhere it looks like some kind of cruel and bloody battle field. My mouth slowly moves upwards as I looked at the distance dead animal.I gave my bow and arrow to my servant and walked towards the moose deer as I kneel down, pressing the dead animal."This would be enough for the incoming feast." I muttered and picked up the moose deer, putting it on my shoulder.

Cloud nine. That's where Shaun's soul and heart is. He feels like he is floating as soon as he was the people welcoming them in the kingdom of Arcadia.He never felt so overjoyed yet so calm at relax before. He never felt so at home, welcomed and accepted. It was like a dream come true. A hopeful and impossible dream he has been dreaming all these years. Knowing that there are dozens of people who wouldn't get scared of him even if he change into his beast form.That despite all the odds turning against him, despite all his flaws and impurity, there are people who would stay with him no matter what happen.In that moment he knew, he belong to this place. No one would run at the sight of his tail, claws and fangs.No one would curse him to death. And no eyes would look at him as if he was some kind of an evil monster, who would only want to hurt everyone around him. No one would ever think of him differently.It was totally a

"Like what I have said a while ago, I am the only son of the current king Veto Edromyth, Tyler. I'm please to meet all of you." Tyler said, slightly bowing his head to everyone in the hall."The kingdom of Arcadia is overjoyed to have you back in this land, in here. The kingdom, where you really belong to. And to see you well, healthy and..." he paused and smirked when he saw Austin hand in hand with Shaun. "well, happy. On behalf of all the missing paladins and members of the Executives, we welcome you to the Kingdom. Welcome Prince Shaun, lady Austin, Justin and Grey." he said and gracefully walked towards the table where Shaun and Austin have seated. Shaun's face darken as he squeezed Austin's hand tightly beside him. Tyler has this silly smile plastered on his face as he leaned towards them. "You should introduce yourself properly to everyone in here. They have been waiting to have even just a glance of the much awaited prince. Maybe you could do this litt

"Tell me, what's really going on? Something is really off about everything." Justin said, looking at me so seriously directly in my eyes. I felt my heart racing and I don't know the reason why. But the way she's looking at me, it was as if she is diving deeper into my soul, uncovering the secrets of it, including the most purest and darkest one. I subconsciously gulped. I could feel my body tensing up and I don't want her to notice even a bit of my nervousness. That's not cool and it's not me. "I mean, you guys being lycanthropes, this kingdom, Shaun's true identity. Everything. I need to know everything. What the heck is really going on, Grey?" she said.I looked at her jet black eyes as she crossed her arms, standing in front of me still. I never had imagine myself in this kind of situation. Someone confronting me about these things. I've never prepare myself to talk about those sad things that are eventually bound to happen. But I know I would. And

"Lupus, why are you still here? The other paladins and member of the Executives are already in the hall, talking to the prince. Even Silver is already there," I heard Rebecca's voice behind me. I turned around and looked at her. She's wearing a long navy-blue silk gown. It was guarded by a powerful magic spell, making it sturdy but light to move. She's always on the top of everything, huh? Always ready for the worst. "That I know. Even Hamlet is there, right?“ I said smiling to her. "I'm actually impressed to that man. Even though he hates the idea of the prince coming here in the kingdom, he's still acting so civil, especially when the King and Prince Tyler is around." I said, fixing my clothes. "You know the man, Lupus. He's like a loyal dog, servant only to his master." Rebecca said in her low voice as if she was whispering to me. "The man love to suck up to his master, willing to do anything as long as the king orders him too."I smiled. A lo

"What do you think of Arcadia, Shaun? We've been here for days. You've met so many people.. I mean lycanthropes like yourself. How does it make you feel?" Austin said as she wrapped her arms around mine.She looked at me with her calm brown eyes as she smiled to me as if she's telling me, that whatever I would do from this moment, she would support me with all her might."What do you mean? Of course it does made me so happy." I bluntly said. Austin smiled and shakes her head. "Do you like it here? I mean living here? Spending the rest of your life here in Arcadia?" I paused. That had me thinking. Do I like it here to the point of living here in Arcadia? Does my heart really belong here where the others of our kind live? Can I live here, leaving the only place that made me feel so safe all these years? Can I really left Orion just to live here in Arcadia?I've lived in Orion for years.

"So, what's your plan now?" I said as I swing my sword towards his direction.He easily evaded it as he laughed at my question. "To tell you honestly, I don't have any sort of plans or goals." he laughed as he pushed me using his sword, "I just want to live a peaceful life.""You could stay here." I quickly bend down when I saw him powerfully swinging his sword horizontally towards me. "I mean, you should. Your father's here. You could do whatever you want to do as you stay here too."Tyler chuckled and shakes his head. "You are so different from your father when you're like this." he jumped away from me as he threw some daggers towards me. "Your father wouldn't easily forgive someone who has done wrong to him. At least that's how I knew him based on the stories."It was my turned now to laughed at him as I threw some daggers to him. "He's not like that at all. I mean that's what Priam told me."

"How.. co-could you.. d-do this.. to me?" I said as I felt a burning sensation all through out my entire body. "I've trust..I've trusted you.."My eyes laid to Austin's crying face. She is trembling and I could see the fear plastered on her pale face. She looks so miserable as she keeps on struggling, trying to escape from the tight rope that is tied around her body.It was too tight to the point of it almost dragging her skin every time she would move or squirm, trying to get out from it."Sh-Shaun.. " she whispered in between of her weeps. "I-I'm.... I'm scared." and then she finally burst out crying.Her eyes were all swollen and puffy. Her face is a mess.I clenched my fists and turned to glared at Veto, "How could..

Veto bend down and smile to me, "the same reason as to why I killed you father." he said

Lycaea.It was a ceremony to honor the alpha and the coming king of the kingdom. For Arcadians, it is the most important gathering everyone has been waiting.To give their loyalty to their alpha, to honor his existence and to give their life in the service of their chief, there's no other things that they could've ever ask for.But unlike any other ceremony and gatherings inside the kingdom, Lycaea is only allowed to the members of the Executives as well as to the higher-ranking officials of the kingdom.So, the question is, why would the kingdom, especially Veto, would agreed to the trouble of setting up such an important ceremony for Shaun?Given the fact that he is the only child of the former king, Lycaon. He was supposed to be the heir, and that is not a secret to the entire kingdom. So, in order to somehow give respect to that thing, Veto needed to proceed with it.And he badly need to make it for he desire even greater p

When Priam told me years ago that I was not his child and that someday, I would fulfill an important role given to me and would lead a huge kingdom in the future, I find it rather ridiculous and impossible than the feeling of being honored. I even told him that, how could a unique and indifferent child could lead something even greater and bigger than myself. How could a child with no clear origin be able to influence others and make them accept his leadership?How could I? But Priam just laughed at me as he caressed my head that time. He looked at me with a fatherly smile on his face and said, "Shaun, you're future is already determined even before you were born. Only you and the person you are destined to meet could only change that fate." he said and gave me a tapped on my back, "But I know, you would be able to change that fate, because unlike someone I know, you have a huge heart and personality to do so. And I would always watch your back until that time

I didn't know I would regret something I myself had chosen. No one really forced me to do it, but I felt like I was deceived and played. "Oh? Is that all you can do?" her voice rings into my ear. It feels so irritating and annoying. She's one of the beautiful woman I have seen here in the kingdom. Her pale skin looks so beautiful on her.She looks so surreal, almost like a heroine straight from a comic strip. Her long hair is really magnificent and soft. I wonder how can she moved that fast with that massive and long hair. "Lady Austin, is that all you can do that?" she said almost laughing, "and you dare to say you would stay with the prince forever? That must have been an impossible dream you have there, lady." she smirked as she crossed her arms over her chest. She looked down on me, almost collapsing to the ground with an annoying smile on her face. It feels as if she was judging me with those pair of eyes. And I really hate them looking at

"I heard from Lupus that you've improved, Shaun." Tyler said as he swing his sword to Shaun's direction."I mean, he looked so happy when we got to talked about it. He looked like a proud father for his son, so much that it makes all the hair on my arms and legs to raised and wave."The side of Shaun's mouth moves a little upwards as he shielded his self from Tyler's attacks with his sword. "Lupus is just overreacting." Shaun said running away from Tyler. "Well.. Should I say I did?" he said, almost laughing as he continues to evade and escapes, shielding his self from Tyler's cruel attacks with no intention of stopping. "Lupus.. was all jolly.. and all smiles when he.. talked about it." Tyler said as he continue on attacking while Shaun continues on evading and shielding. "You know the old man. He gets all happy over simple things." Shaun finally let out a surprise attack to Tyler. Tyler's cheeks were scratched and wounded a little bit.

It has been days. Aetos have committed to observe and watch Silver, Lupus along with Winter unusual change of behavior.For the past couple of days, he has been watching them. Keeping a close but discreet distance from them. But unfortunately, he has found nothing. Instead, he noticed that indeed, Lupus and Silver is always together. Sometimes they are training with prince Shaun, there are times with them talking to Winter but several times with only themselves. And that alone is quite suspicious.Lupus is not one to spend too much time with any of them. He was always alone and prefers to be alone. He was aloof and was obvious to be wary of them. 'So, what happened? Why the sudden change?' Aetos thought to himself.He wanted to prove Hamlet he was wrong on suspecting the chief of the paladins, but Lupus and Silver's closeness seems off to him as well as to Hamlet. So he can never ignored the possibility of Hamlet's suspicion being right.

"What? Is that all you can do, Shaun?" Priam laughed at me, playfully swinging his sword in the air. "You have the courage to boast that you are the only child of the great king, but look t how weak you are? Turns out, training with prince Tyler didn't do that much for you, huh?" he said. His hurtful words sting my ears so much. Sometimes, I think deep down he really mean every word. I could hear my own teeth grinding with the emotions building up inside of me.Damn! I hate this feeling. I clenched onto the shaft of my sword and took a deep breath and swing at him in a speed of a light but he easily evaded my attacks and smack me in the head using the scabbard of his sword as he laughed crazily. "Is that it?" he scoffed, "you think that would be enough to beat the king? Just like that? Don't be so foolish, your highness. Surprise attacks like that won't work to a paladin who served your father for a long time."I gritted my teeth a

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Aetos exclaimed slamming his hands against the table. More than anger, his face looks more worried than anything else. "Our king confronted the odd one? Why would he do that?" he said, the veins on his arms showed as he leaned towards the other two. "That's what I heard from the king." Hamlet said crossing his arms over his chest as he looked at Aetos with a blank expression on his face. Unlike the other two; Walter and Aetos, Hamlet seems to be calm and relax. Despite hearing it directly from the king that the odd one knew about everything, he sat there without a hint of worry on his face. "After he saw prince Tyler with that odd one countless of times, he wanted to know the real reason behind that closeness. Whether it was just a simple bond or... " he paused and smiled, "or our prince betrayal.""Our prince betrayal!?" Aetos exclaimed again with such horror on his face. "Our prince would never do that to our king!"
