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
Many moments had already passed. The healer and Vieira were already out of sight. The both of them were in the house of the healer as it stands. Though it had been a while already, the howls and roars of the alpha king, Derek was still not out of their ears. It was now a matter of concern. Something had to be done already before it got out of hand. No. It was already out of hand. Vieira paced from one corner to the other with his hefty bodybuild that seemed to be giving him serious troubles in carrying about right now. " Can you just stop walking to and fro before me?" The healer asked. Vieira sighed heavily. " I can't help it. I am very anxious right now. " " You are very anxious right now. You too are getting me more anxious than I ought to be. " " I just can't get myself to sit at a particular spot right now. I have no leave within me. No peace at all. " " And who led us to this situation?" The healer asked and sighed. " Don't even bring up the issue that you are anxious, here
Vieira and the healer were standing at the door. They had both instructed every guard that was around to leave with immediate effect. And they did obey. It was their long time wish already. After hearing what happened at the former chamber of the alpha king, a great deal of fear swept them off their feet. If it were within their power, they would have left long ago already. But no. They were guards whose station was the alpha King's chamber. It was a thing of honor to guard such an esteemed place. Trust, bravery and strength were key factors. If not, they would not have been considered to be worthy of such honor. Right now, not even an ant was around the alpha king's chamber. They had all departed to a place of safety outside the chamber. No one wanted to be on the wrong side of fate. But Vieira and the healer were both willing to take that risk . " Are you really sure about this?" Vieira asked. His voice had unrest in it. " Are you scared?" The healer asked. Vieira knew he was alr
Derek stopped in his tracks and turned to the new threat. For a reason, no one could explain, he was hesitant to launch an attack like had always done. The healer could not believe her eyes. What was she seeing? There was no damn way this was real. Sophia was kneeling on her bed with claws flashed out and eyes that were purely crystal blue. What the fuck? No way! She must be seeing things This can't be happening. Sophia was supposed to lie down for at least a couple of days. In fact, she could still remember telling Vieira not long ago that the young lady could end up staying there, right on that bed for about five mornings just like it happened before. How come she was awake? Not just awake but roaring. Her eyes were glowing brightly. What was this? Maybe the fall she suffered when Derek had shaken her off his body was responsible for what she was seeing right now. This was not real. It just can't be. " So..phia. " she muttered slowly. " How? ..how..can this be?"Taking aside the f
It was nightfall already. Ruckus strode as fast as he could. His thoughts were running haywire again. Who was it? Who might have betrayed him? A couple of moments ago, he got an invitation from his father . An order actually as the case may be. The man wanted to meet with him. And not in his chamber this time. Of all places , it had to be the oak tree by that time of the night. No way. By now, he would have been wondering the reason his father had told him to come there if not because there were still people loyal to him in the circle of guards in the pack. One of the guards had come running to Badmus earlier on with a piece of information. Something that might have happened. The moment he saw the haste in the mood of the guard, he could tell that there was something obviously wrong . There was no memory of him having to give Badmus the order to gather any information on any matter. In fact, he was still preoccupied with the thought of what had happened in there at the alpha king's ch
Ruckus fumed like he was going to explode at any point from now. His eyes had fiery arrows flying from them. Anyone who would dare to cross his path around with the slightest intention to get on his nerves was sure to meet his or her death. There was nothing to dispute about it. The threat of his father was playing in his head. How could he have threatened him in that manner? At some point, he wondered if the old geezer was actually his father. Were they even related by blood or was he picked up from some damn dumpsite? He had just witnessed the death of two people. Two people that were close to Jael. And the alpha king had equally threatened to kill Chloe and Jael too. Right now, he is furious. In his fury, he had a deep sense of regret. If only his ambition had not taken over him, he would not have had to bring Jael into the matter. It already backfired. Those innocent people had lost their lives. For what exactly? For a cause that he had no idea how and when he was going to achieve
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
