PROLOGUE‘You must take one of them away tonight. Before the seer chooses.’ The woman in a large black cloak whispered to one of the knights who was also her ex lover.‘But to where? HE will find out. You know him.” The knight replied clutching his door tightly‘I trust you. Please. Promise to always watch over him. You know he can’t stay here. They will banish him if he’s the one.’ She replied pleading with him.‘How will they know? They are exactly alike.’ the knight asked curiously‘A mark will appear on both of their chests. A writing I suppose. I intend to take one of them away before that. They can’t appear unless they are together.’ she explained.‘You want him to go? This does not feel right to me.’ the knight replied shuffling his feet.‘ I do not want either of them to be banished. I love both . Please, take one to the human world
AdalwolfI was on all fours . I could feel blood trickling down from my wounded ear to my fur . I can't give up I have to fight . I looked at him . His bland grey fur was matted with blood . I knew I already wounded him . I must go straight for his jugular vein . That will be the end . I was about to strike when I felt her presence . I turned and saw her . Everything else melted away . Her fur was beige in color .A bit of sandy but rich brown and her scent drove me mad. She was beautiful and she was mine . She growled at me . I knew the meaning even though I should not .' Do not hurt him . 'I was still thinking about this when I saw him coming towards her . His mouth opened and his teeth ready to tear her apart .I snarled and lunged for his throat .********I woke up suddenly . The same nightmare again . I groaned and tried to stand up from my bed but I was too tired to move .My parents have taken me to see almost all the therapist
AdmetosI felt him punch my face . Pain burst across my cheek and I used that pain to channel my anger . I kicked him in the chest . He tried to punch me again but I blocked it . Then I twisted his arm and heard the crunching of bones but I didn't stop . I brought him to his knees and kicked him in the stomach until he puked blood . Then I punched him and his head swung back . I was about to give him another punch when I heard my mother's voice .' Admetos! That is enough training for one day . ' she shouted from across the training ground .I dropped the man I was training with surprised by my own strength . I apologized and headed to my mother .' You almost killed him . What is wrong with you ? ' she asked .' I'm sorry mom . It won't happen again . ' I replied just for her to let me off the hook .' You said that the last time . Your father wants to see you . ' she said sternly and walked back towards the pack house .I foll
Adalwolf' Knock it off Adolph . You have been staring at her since the beginning of lunch . ' Ian said snapping his fingers in front of me .' I have just been looking around . ' I denied turning my head back to my food .' You can keep lying to yourself . I am sure she would have felt your stare. You almost bored a hole in her skin . ' Tedrey put in .' Okay Ted . That's too much . ' Ian said grinning at me .' You should talk to her you know . To avoid all this . ' he continued .I ignored them both and pushed my food around my plate .I was about to leave the cafeteria when I saw Nyla walking towards Nymeria . She sat in front of her and they talked like they have met before . I studied them for about a minute until Nymeria and I made eye contact .She smiled at me then turned back to Nyla .I stood up from the table and headed to the guys locker room . It was just a few minutes left for basketball
NymeriaThey were hunting me . Five of them . Chasing after me . I was fast but they were faster . They caught up with me and one of them used his claws to slash my flank . I groaned in pain and rolled down the snow . Then they surrounded me . They all had glowing eyes . Unnatural ones . They were our kind but a different one . I closed my eyes and called to him one last time . But I didn't need to because he was already here . I felt warm gushes of blood spurted across my chest and on my neck about half a second before I saw one of their canine heads roll in front of me . He clawed out the throat of another like he did that in his leisure time . He was so tall . Taller than the others . The remaining three ran away with their tails in between their legs . Then I was up . He stared at me . His eyes an unusual color . His stare was so intense it was like a touch .His face came closer and he touched his temple to mine . He nuzzled my face . Then he growled to the
AdmetosI was on my way to my father's office when I was side tracked by Alastair .' Admetos we need to talk as soon as possible . I sense danger . ' he said to him cutting to the chase .When Alastair sensed danger, he meant real danger and Admetos heart jumped upon hearing this .' Can you give me a few minutes to attend my father ? I will be with you shortly . ' I replied all business as usual . He nodded his head and walked in the direction of my office .I took a deep breath, mentally preparing myself for what my father was about to say before I went in . My father's office was pristine . It was twice the size of mine and we replaced and updated everything there every six months . He has oakwood polished tables, chairs and shelves . My father has always loved art . He was an artist at a time in his life . Therefore the room was filled with various paintings and artworks . Then my mother's pictures and mine were on his table . He acted human s
AdalwolfI was running again but this time it was different . I was running after her . The beige colored wolf . She enjoyed the chase . She was teasing me . She whined as I caught up with her . We nibbled gently on each other's faces to show affection .' You are mine . You know that ? ' I whispered .' Yes I am Yours . Always and Forever . ' She replied in my head .*******I woke up in the woods this time . I was in my pajamas shorts and I was laying on the floor . Something was messing with my head and I could not figure it up .I stood up and tried to walk back home . My mom will be so worried and I was probably late for school .After walking for a few minutes, I realized I was not really far from my house . I got back to road and followed the house numbers home .My mum was already pacing at the front door . I was in for it this morning . How will I explain to her that I woke up in the woods ?I
NymeriaI was about to excuse myself to go and look for Adolph when he came in . He looked like the world just came crashing down . Being a healer, I could sense emotions and his was clogged with sadness and devastation .He looked up then gave Nyla a small smile before he walked to his seat .Immediately he sat down, a whiff of wolfsbane passed across my nostrils . Why will Adolph smell of wolfsbane after being called to the principal's office?As usual, the wolfsbane weakened me . As a wolf, wolfsbane was our weakness . It was a poison specially made for us . To weaken us and if taken in in large quantity, kill us .If Adolph was a wolf, why was the wolfsbane not affecting him ?I dropped my head on the table to fight the effect of wolfsbane on me . I didn't know when I fell into a vision .I was dressed up in jeans and my favorite cashmere sweater . I had a full make up on which was unusual unless I was on a date
Nymeria After a whole week of missing school, she was more than ready to go back. She missed the environment, the bussing of students and most especially seeing Adolph in class. Something has changed. She could feel it deep in her bones but whatever happened could not been shown to her. The person cloaked their decision and the outcome. She sighed deeply and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth. She had to dress extra special today. Seeing as she missed her year book picture last week, she was going to have to take it today. She brushed her teeth and flossed while ruminating on what to wear. The she got into the tub, washed her hair and soaked for some minutes before she got out. She already saw a vision of her year book picture going well while she was in the tub and this was the best advantage of being a seer. She knew exactly what she would wear. She smiled to herself and her wolf was unnecessarily happy and restless this morning for a reason which she knew naught. She picked
AdalwolfI was enraged and full of anger . I have never felt this way before and it was driving me mad . I could feel his face caving in as I punched him but I didn't stop .Until she called my name .I jerked my head up to look at her . That was when I came back to myself . I looked at my bloody hands and the man I was beating up all because hit one of the girls' butt and she didn't like it . I looked to the girl who I was defending and she looked at me with a mixture of fear and shock in her eyes .' Stand up boy . ' Nyla's father said pulling me up and taking me outside with Nymeria following us closely .' What happened out there- ' I started but Nymeria quickly put in ' wasn't your fault Adolph . '' I have never felt so angry . It was like I was not in control of myself . ' I explained still confused .' Let's take you home . ' Nymeria said and pulled me towards the car .I gently removed her hands from mine .' I came with my car . I need time to process this . '' Then you sho
NymeriaThey were coming . They found us . I needed to warn them but I could not move . The portion was really strong, keeping me locked inside my mind . I needed to break it but I was too weak . So I let go as it swept me into the darkness again .* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *I felt hands at both my sides trying to jerk me awake .' Nymeria ' the voice shouted but it sounded so far away . I needed to wake up . To help . To warn them .' Nymeria ' I heard a familiar voice call clearly .' Mom ' I whispered in reply then I saw her face . Her warm smile .' Mom ' I called again my eyes filling with tears .' My sweet baby . You need to wake up . ' she replied her hand brushing my hair away from my face .' No mom . Not anymore . I have you . '' They need you Nymeria . You need to wake up . ' she replied using her thumb to wipe my tears away .' But I need you . '' He needs you . You must not leave him again . '' Mom ''
AdmetosI woke up disoriented. Then last night came back rushing to me. I slept off working under the pile of work left for me when I was away . I needed Alastair to sort out some stuff with me but he won't even look at me because I imprinted on Athena .I sighed deeply and picked up the papers that fell on the floo. I was still picking them when I heard a knock .'Come on in. ' I called and continued picking up the papers.My mum came in with a large smile on her face.' Hello my boy. ' she chirped.She must be really happy . I've never seen her this happy .' Hi mom . What's going on ? ' I asked placing the papers I picked on the table .' You found the card . Your brother's ID . ' she replied her eyes twinkling .Oh. This was what it was about .' I did . Is that why you are so happy? '' Yes of course . It means he was here for a brief period . I don't know how but he was here and your father has decided we have to go visit him . ' she explained her smile still stretched across he
AdalwolfNymeria's rejection felt like a pain in my gut that wouldn't go away. I couldn't handle it but I still had to go to school. I dragged myself from bed I went to the bathroom for a quick shower . By the time I got out, my mum was already in my room .'Mom . Some privacy please . ' I said then walked up to her .' Nothing you have fazes me . ' she replied smiling . I shook my head and she handed me two insulin injections .' don't forget and be good at school . ' she said then went out of the room .I dropped the injections in my bag and started dressing up .Today was year book picture day at school so I made a little effort to look good .I finished up and carried my bag then went out of the room . My mum was at the kitchen counter . Very unusual .' Mom, are you not going to work? ' I said as I grabbed a cereal bowl and spoon .' I will . Just going in a little late . ' she replied but I knew she was lying .' What is wrong ? '' Nothing is wrong . I just want to make you bre
NymeriaI could not see anything . It's like having your sight taken away from you but this time the inner sight . Ever since I tried to save Adolph with my powers, I could not see the future anymore . I was weak . The weakness stuck to me like a second skin .I couldn't sleep and I couldn't get anything done .School will have to wait too .I crept from my hiding place in the closet as the morning light made me weaker .I needed to see someone . The only person who could help me was Niko . Nyla should be in school by now so she wouldn't know .I got into the bathroom and soaked myself in the tub filled with water and the incense oils my mum used to use to meditate .I stayed there for about an hour before I got out . I brushed my hair and dressed quickly .Surprising, my father was not awake .I crept out silently and drove to Niko's house .The traffic was light so it didn't take too much time for me to get there .I parked across the road and knocked on the door .No one answered .
AdmetosAs we sat in the seer's home, series of thoughts went through my mind . How to face Arya, How exactly was I going to live with the fact that I imprinted on my best friend's mate and the prophecy we were about to listen to .We have been waiting for the seer for about an hour now . One of her handmaids came to tell us that she was busy meditating but she asked us to wait . I still wondered how the woman was alive . She was old and haggard when I was little and she still is . It was rumored that she has lived two hundred years .I could tell my father was tired of waiting . He was anxious . I could sense my father was about to stand up when the seer finally came in .' Greetings to you Amarok . ' she started calmly look at my father .' And to you son of Amarok . ' she continued and gave me a narrowed look .' There hasn't been a prophecy since after their birth . Why now ? ' my father asked getting straight to business .' I do not know why . All I know is the gods have spoken
AdalwolfI groaned as I woke up on the bed of the school clinic .' You're okay . Don't try to stand up . ' Nymeria said coming to my view . ' What happened ? ' I asked trying to remain calm .' The question is not what happened . What did you do to yourself ? ' she asked her eyes blazing with anger .' Nothing . Why will I hurt myself ? ' I asked confused about why she was angry .' There are claw marks on your middle . How do you explain that ? '' Seeing as I don't even know how it got there, I don't think I need to explain myself . ' I snapped .A look of hurt flashed across her face . But before I could say anything she hurried out of the clinic .To be honest, I wanted to apologise for what I said the last time we met . My mind has not been at rest . I could not stop thinking about her .I raised my shirt up and saw bandages all over my middle . Any move I made, I felt the pain . The wounds were burning like they had fire on them .I was about to cry out when Nyla entered .'
Adalwolf It was dark and I was alone this time . But in a way, I could scent her . She was close . I tried to look for her but as her scent drew closer, I saw nothing again . I could feel the deep loneliness . My wolf howled in sorrow . She left me . My other half . My anchor . Then another female wolf came . She was different . Her fur was black with splotches of white . I recognized her but I still could not bring the name to mind . She nuzzled her nose against mine and comforted me . Then I heard a long howl of betrayal . I felt it to my bones . She knew . * * * * * * * * * * * * For the first time since the nightmares started, I woke up calm . And only one name came to my mind . Nymeria . I rubbed my face and sat up on the bed . I had a valid reason for breaking up with her. She was hiding something and whatever it was, she could put our relationship at risk to keep the secret . No matter how much I liked
