Moments passed before Ruckus was done with his pleasure hunt. He lay on the bed and watched Jael dress up. " I guess this will be the last I will see you for another couple of days. " Jael said , packing her hair behind. Ruckus giggled. " Would you want this juicy moment to take many days before it comes again?" " Well, if I were to choose, I would be here every night till I have had enough that will last for years. " " That would probably take forever to have that much. " Ruckus mused. " Anyway, I hope you still remember the assignment. " Jael glanced at him and smiled. " Do you think I would forget something like that?" " I believe you won't." " It is as important to you as it is to me. " Jael replied. " When you have ascended the throne, there would be no need for me to wait for days to set my eyes on you. I will be with you always, then. " " Just do the right thing, Jael. Do it as fast as you can. I am an impatient man." " You don't need to remind me of that. " She began
A couple of moments had passed already. Yet Derek could not bring himself any other thoughts except the two that already occupied his mind. Not long ago, all he had to think and imagine was the strange intruder into the borders of the dead valley pack who now identified herself as Sophia. But now, there was another thought seated right in his memory. It had to be the case of the man with no identity. He was torn between two thoughts. A part of him which was now the softie would want to cling unto the little time of ease he had spent in the embrace of the strange girl called Sophia while the other part of him wanted to maintain his vicious nature. No doubt that Derek was revered by all his people. The one thing people could not do was stand before him with no single traces of fear. Even a man as huge as Vieira had his reservations the moment it came down to his relationship with him. Though the both of them already had a long way behind their past and Vieira was the only one who knew a
In the next couple of moments, Derek was storming towards the former chamber of the alpha king. After he had ascended the throne of the dead valley pack, he erected a mighty building as the dwelling place of alpha kings. To a layman who could not see beyond his ambiguous nature, he was probably trying to be that powerful and appear as high as he looked. Yeah. Anyone who saw the design of the structure would definitely think the same way. However, there was another reason others could not see . Derek had refused to spend his nights and times of rest in the former chamber of the Alpha Kings not because he simply wanted to seem that high and powerful. Rather, he had memories that he did not want to remember. The chamber of the former alpha king, his father, held so many of those memories. In the confines of the damned room, he had witnessed the death of his mother. He had seen her draw her last breath in the hands of a man he did not know. That man was definitely not a member of their pa
Sophia idled on the comfort of the bed , dragging the bedspread to cover all her body. She was all smiles. This still felt unreal even though it was very real. How could she be the one waking up every single moment she slept on the comfort of a large bed. Sleeping in such a comfortable zone made her realize better how pathetic that attic she used to sleep in was. Taking the bedspread to one side, she crept out of the bed and walked to the mirror that was in the room. Her body was really transforming into what she could not explain. Was she really that pretty? The skin of her arms had completely healed. Now, the traces of the hardship she had been through were almost out. The smoothness that now replaced the once harsh and rugged body of hers was rather mesmerizing for her small head to comprehend. Turning herself around, she looked over her shoulders through the mirror. The marks from the lashes she had received prior to the escape run were equally disappearing. With every passing mom
Derek had not left the former alpha king's chamber . He was no longer with his right senses. His eyes glared . The siren red glow of his alpha eyes were very evident through the darkness of the entire chamber. Every corner of it was plunged into deep darkness. The only trace of light was the siren red glow that came from.his eyes. He gnarled his teeth with fangs that were rightly jolted out of his blood filled mouth parts. The stench of blood had consumed him. Right now, what he saw was no longer the current reality he had. Rather, he could see the same little boy that had been consumed by his own rage. The same rage that had taken over him when he was still a youngling still had its way through him. In his date of fury, he had killed up to fifteen men already in addition to seven that were brutally injured, excluding his right hand man, Vieira. Vieira knew what he was afraid of. He knew something of this sort was going to happen the moment Derek made up his mind to go there by himsel
Ruckus and her father were still seated at a place in the alpha king's chamber . Time had passed a lot already. But there was still not even a single sign of Badmus and his men. Ruckus was beginning to get anxious and very worried about the situation. Where did the damn path lead to? He wanted to just burst through it and see for himself. But on second thought, he knew better not to attempt anything funny. If Badmus and all the men that entered there with him had not yet come out, then it could mean that the route was not safe after all. Or maybe the treasure that may be behind the door was too much for them to carry some of it. Yes. They could be it. He smiled foolishly. " You seem so excited , son. " His father said, stealing a glance at him. " Am I not allowed to at least be excited for myself?" Ruckus asked. " Of course, you can. But I have a question for you. " " Question? What question do you have for me, father?"" I can say that the reason you were smoking that much was be
Derek and his right hand man, Vieira stood and watched the healer as she applied certain herbs medicine on the belly of Sophia. Derek had still not transformed to his normal form. His eyes were still siren red and his claws were yet to return to their resting place. However, he was in his right senses. Partly in his right senses. The fury that was in him had still not gone down. But the moment he pierced the belly of Sophia, he had a touch of sanity. He had killed fifteen men without flinching. Seven were seriously injured. In fact, Vieira was yet to heal from the wound that Derek's claws had caused him. But the moment he struck Sophia, a wave of ice washed through the rage he felt. He had paused for a while, staring into the eyes of the beautiful soul as she slowly fell to the ground . Derek could not help but stare at her with their eyes locked together. The lady word of Sophia before draining into unconsciousness was still echoing in the head of Derek.." Derek." Sophia had outrig
Jael could not help but smile sheepishly in her room. She dragged a chair to the mirror and sat down before it. The smiles of a soon to be Luna was all over her face. The ecstatic fragrance of a queen in the Red moon pack was just all over her. In fact, the only thing that remained was the formal coronation for her to be called the Luna of the pack. At the moment already, everyone or almost everyone in the pack submitted to her. She knew what they were after. They all wanted to get on the good side of the next Luna. If not for any other thing, to get the protection and little favors that a Luna could offer was of great importance to them all. Moreover, to be tagged as the friend of a Luna in any pack was something cool to the ears. It took special grace to even have anything serious to do with a member of the royal bloodline. And soon, she will be a part of that line of ancestry. Getting close to Ruckus was one hell of a struggle. Though, not a total struggle. What Ruckus felt for her
Days had turned to months. Time flied past like the breath Sophia released from her body. She had accomplished exactly what she promised her parents. Uproot the weed. She did it. It was the monthly remembrance of her mother's death . Clutching a flower in her hands , she walked gently with Derek towards the tomb in red moon pack. The spot where her father would have been laid to rest was now occupied by her mother's remains. They strode into the old structure and dropped the flower. " I am here again." Sge smiled. " We are here. " Derek held her hand tightly. " We will make her no weeds arise again. " When they left the tomb , they headed straight to the sea valley pack. Both packs were now ruled by Derek and Sophia. They got to the former chamber of the alpha king. For a good while, Derek had been practicing to control his shift. He always failed but was willing to try again. " Are you sure you want to try again?" Sophia asked. Derek nodded. They strode to the chamber. Derek
The event to celebrate the crowning of a new alpha in the red moon pack was specially organized and hosted by Ruckus in the grandest hall that there was in the pack. The hall was specially built and constructed to suit the high taste of whatever was to be held in it. No ordinary events are held there. In fact, even the birthday of an alpha was not worth being celebrated in such an ecstatic place. It was majorly reserved for any sort of meeting that would involve the rest of the packs. The hall was actually constructed for this reason. A couple of yeare back, one of the most decisive conclaves was fixed in the red moon pack. By virtue of that, the alpha in charge had begun the construction of the beautiful work of art. That alpha had to be no.other person than the uncle of Ruckus who happened to be the father of Sophia. Ruckus had purposely selected the hall for this event so tht he would be able to arouse sleeping memories in the lives of both alpha king Derek and his supposed Luna, S
The day of the event had finally come and it did not feel shy less of what it was expected of it. The tension in the atmosphere of both the red moon pack añd the dead valley pack was beyond that high above normal. The days was a big day. Ruckus stood in his room with hands clasped behind his back. His thoughts never stopped reeling and wondering about how the day would finally end. Whether it was going to end the way he had the way he had thought it or against him, there was no way of knowing. Badmus had given him the idea of what to do. That was all he needed. No matter how much he now hated Badmus, he still knew what relevance the presence of Badmus meant by his side. The man was always the bug game planner behind him. After using the art of killing the little children which he knew that Badmus was not going to turn a blind eye on, Badmus had given him the perfect idea on what he needed to get down the supposed all powerful and vicious alpha king f the dead valley pack who happened
Three days passed like a breath . The day of the event was the next day and Derek and Sophia were yet to figure out what exactly the alpha if red moon pack had in his mind. Preparations were already being made for their departure. For the first time in years, the alpha king of the dead valley pack was going on a special event with his entourage that comprised of a fleet of cars. The decision was made hy Derek. Though not for his sake but for Sophia, his Luna. He knew what the return to the place wge4e she had spent so many years of her life as a lowly person was really worth. He had intention to make her look.ger best version fjrvtye even tomorrow. According to him, he wanted the Luna of the dead valley pack to beat every other damn Luna that was going to be in attendance. But anyway, before the event would come, they still needed to take care of the activities and worries if the day. And one of those worries was the case of Nosa. Three days ago, they had caught Nosa who, according t
A few more days had passed away. Bit the very a deer that Sophia needed had not yet arrived. Her thoughts had not stopped going haywire since a few days ago. What was she supposed to do at this point? Ignore her people? No. They did not deserve to be called her people in the first place. They were very treacherous. The very people that turned her into a slave in a land where we she was supposed to be served and resiectex by many as the heir apparent if not the one in power , at least. A part of her needed the peace she now received in the dead valley pack while the other piece of her her needed to completely fulfill the promise that she had made to her parents. Now, she has the power needed. What remained was to make the move that was necessary. " Hmm. " She exhaled tiredly and stretched herself in front of the window of the alpha king's chamber. Her gaze was all over the city. While she bàttoed with having to go and fulfill the promise that she had made, she still contemplated the
Badmus curved himself into a ball in a bud to find a little bit of the warmth that he could find in the prison cell where he lay. His whole body felt like it was burning. The weather was cold , very cold . Yet there was no dirt of provision for him to rest his head. For the past many days , he had been going through one torture to the other. But he had refused to yield . There was no way he was going to yield. The only worry he had in his mind was the arrival of Tamina. How was Ruckus able to find her ? Not just find her , he equally brought her. Perhaps, a kidnap scenario. But that was a call for war . Going I to another pack to get someone out without any proper methods if approach was a great call and an alarm that could result in pack wars. Something of that nature had happened before . Then, Badmus had been ordered by Ruckus, the evil one, to get a person from a pack many kilometers away from them. The supposed lady was a royal blood. She had been the daughter of the alpha king o
The red moon pack is in turmoil. Please , save us. The words that Chloe had said could not stop echoing in the ears of Sophia. Not just Sophia but every single person that was in the room. It dud not make sense to Sophia. Nit even the slightest but I sense could be seen. How was it possible for Chloe to get on the wrong dude of Jael? If her memory served her right, she could beat her chest and swear that something of that sort would never be able to happen. Not in this lifetime and definitely not in the next would it be able to happen. But here they were , having no choice but to battle with whst their ears were hearing from Chloe. Could this really be destiny calling on Sophia? Her thoughts were running really wild . She had always thought about how she was going to do what her parents had told her to do. Uproot the weed. That was a very powerful but difficult thing to do. Chloe was in a way making it more obvious that the time might have come. After all, she was the Luna of the de
The morning had been one of both mixed feelings. Derek and Sophia had come together again. However, the news that had come last night was a shocking one. Back then, they had felt the peace that was lost had been restored finally. But then , Vieira had cut it short without any warnings beforehand. Here they were, both Derek and Sophia , seated in the couch in the alpha king's chamber. They were waiting for vieira to return with the information that he had been asked by Derek to go and bring. He was not yet back. When the news had reached them, it was told that someone was spotted around the borders of the pack. But not that the intruder had stepped in. According to what they had been told, this person was a lady . And she's looked entirely messy. She loitered around the borders fir a very long while . It was obviously a very calculated move. But then, she probably did not have enough courage to have stepped beyond the borders the very moment she came. She had been scared . She had loit
Many hours later, the morning sun had gone up into the sky and released very magnificent rays on the red moon pack. Where Badmus was, he could nit say why, but he felt a lot of peace in him. The feeling was one that he could not boast of feeling through the years ge had been by the side of Ruckus. But this morning, despite not waking up on the comfort that his luxurioys bed offered to him, he felt really good. Not like having to wake up on the bed was a very common thing for him. No way. In fact, he could count the number of days that he woke up on his bed through a full cake dar year. It had always been about doing one thing or the other fir an like Ruckus who dud not deserve any of the things that he had sacrificed just to please him. Badmus had no family to call his own, thanks to.no other person than the alpha king who.denued him that privilege. Badmus had been born into a family of the low class. His family had nothing serious when he was growing. His whole life had been all abou
