"Alpha," one of the men said in greeting and the rest of them quickly transformed back into their human sefves. Ivone's eyes shot open and she looked up, her tears only rushed out more when she saw Triston standing over them. He fixed a stern and angry gaze on her, she was not surprised that he did not recognise her, they barely had a good look at eachother last night.

The man who had spoken to her first approached Triston humbly with his head bowed low, "Nothing that should worry you, Alpha..."

"This is my territory, everything that happens within it should worry me," Triston said sternly and then he growled, "What the hell is going on here?!"

"The girl," the man started and pointed down at her, "Was caught trying to sneak into Elyria, or rather, was trying to sneak out after stealing from you."

"Stealing from me? This girl never came close to me," Triston frowned in confusion, "Who are you again? and why are the rest still in their wolf forms?"

"Betas," Jaxon answered the question a

    She woke easily from a dreamless sleep and just kept her eyes open, looking up at the ceiling. She was on a bed and in a room, but she didn't bother to find out where exactly she had been brought to. She could still feel the pain in her sides, they came softly like low heart beats and it made breathing some how difficult, but she did not allow her mind dwell on that."Damaris."She remembered the body she saw on the tree. The pool of blood that had formed on the forest floor below the body. The branch sticking out of the body's chest. The long black hair that obscured her face. The gaping hole in her thigh. And one thing she had not rememebred that she had noticed then; her fore arm had been snapped."The pain you must have gone through, Dami."She fisted her hand and gritted her teeth. This was all her fault. If only she had ran faster, if only she had not been caught by those Betas in the Elyrian forest, if only...She stopped and shook her head. No, if only she had not been mated t

    Triston sighed and then frowned. He and his father didn't really see eye to eye, because they didn't share the same ideal. His father was a rather irrational person, hot tempered and quick witted, he on the other hand was calm and cool headed. He had spoken up against his father's call for war on Nyxoria and had instead, devised a plot to infilterate them and try to learn whatever secrets they could learn to use to their advantage. So far, he had only given his father more reasons to argue that his strategy was futile, and maybe this recent incident would just be the icing on the cake, even with a cherry on top.Nyxoria and Elyria had been in a deadlock for centuries now and no one really knew what the cause was, just that this hatred was being passed down from one generation to another. Tristion wanted, by all means, to break away from that. He could not be fighting in a war he didn't know the cause, and he would not want to pass it down to his children too like his father was trying

    The moon hanging above the forest was still full and the light it cast made the clearing in which she stood look eery with the darkness of the forest around her. She stood close to the edge of the clearing, underneath the shadow of a tree because standing under the moonlight made it feel like someone was pointing a light down at her, making her open to everything and anything. She didn't feel comfortable with that.Heck, she didn't feel comfortable staying here, but she had to in hope and anticipation.She had felt strange when she had heard the call. Strange because she had immediately known who had ben calling, and strange because she had aslo known from where the call had been coming from. She had been standing on the balcony in her room when she felt it. It was not something she could have ignored even if she had wanted to, and that was because her wolf was reacting very strongly to it."Mate."She recognized the feeling after her wolf had said that, it was slightly similar to the

    It was Elyria's night for the mating ceremony, and everyone's attention was on Alpha Prince Triston Valtor to find a mate. But Triston sat uninterested in the chair reserved for him right beside his father, on an elevated platform so it was obvious that all eyes were on him. He sat with his elbow propped on the arm rest and his fingers on his chin, supporting his head which laid lazily on his knuckles. His father, much like him, also sat looking uninterested as the ceremony went on.As he observed some of them find their mate and proceed with the next thing, it was then that Triston realized he had not been given the chance to mark Damaris before her demise, and as he watched the others do so, he felt a painful prick in his heart. Sitting here and going through this was torture for him, should he just announce to them that he was not going to find a mate anymore because he had found one and lost her?No. He sighed and rolled his eyes as he observed a couple mark eachother. Announcing

    He walked into the bath house in the stable and walked under the showers to wash as much blood as he could off of him before he proceeded into the main building. He would not want anyone to see him covered in blood and begin to have weird thoughts in theor head about him. He st=hrugged his shoulders as he walked the hallways, not that he cared much right now, but for his father's sake and the need to keep the rumors out, he would do this much. He still had the smell of blood on him anyway.As he walked on, he caught sight of a small brown wolf leap over the fence into the compound, and he observed as it transformed into its human self. He frowned as he watched Ivone sneak around and into the building, then head upstairs in the direction of her room. He delayed a while before he followed her.Ivone stepped into her room and let out a sigh of relief after she had quietly shut the door behind her, grateful that nobody had noticed her absence nor had anyone seen her sneak back in.

    It was actually surprising to Triston that his father had not objected to burying Damaris in the royal cemetry, owning to the fact that she was Nyxorian. But then, she had also been his mate, even though it had been for a short while, they had been bonded.He had chosen not to ask what his father's reasons were and had just gone with it. Perhaps somewhere deep in this Alpha's cold heart, he could understand the pain of loss, afterall, he had lost his own mate as well. Triston had chosen to stay away from all preparations regarding Damaris' burial and had requested a closed casket ceremony, for reasons known to him. He didn't want to see her face. He didn't want to be reminded of the fact that he might have to spend the rest of his life without a mate.It had started to rain midway through the ceremony and he had requested an umbrella for Ivone. His father had left as soon as the first drops of rain touched him, but Triston remained under the rain even as the little showers became a f

    She had seen him on one or two occassions from a distance, and she had observed him, he didn't seem the type to want to have a quiet word with a Nyxorian girl, even though she was the sister of his son's mate. She had noticed that Trison never mentioned him when he was talking to her, or at least he tried not to. It already gave her a clue of what the relationship between the two of them was like."With my sister gone, I wonder if he has it in mind to send me back to Nyxoria," She asked herself. It would be the most likely reason for him to want to speak with her and she shuddered. She could not afford to step into Nyxoria right now, it would mean her immediate death and she could already hear the dreadful sound of Zina's satisfied laughter and she shuddered again. She turned to look around for Triston, if he would be there present with his father, then she was sure she had nothing to fear. But she remembered he had taken off earlier and her shoulders dropped."I'm doomed.""We shou

    "Why would he get married again?" Alpha Ardon asked the question to himself but Ivone, thinking she was being asked, gave her reply."I believe it would be for us, his daughters. So it would be easier for us to fit in and learn from having a mother figure."That caught his curiousity, "Fit in?""A strange man in a strage land could not successfully raise two girls all on his own.""How old are you?" he suddenly asked and Ivone looked up at him, only briefly before she lowered her gaze back down as he still had this cold look in his eyes."Eighteen..." she stammered. The question, as simple as it was, had thrown her off.Alpha Ardon hesitated for a moment. He just stared at the girl but his mind had begun to wander even as he still questioned her, "Your father, do you remember his name?""Lothan Thane. That was his name.""Lothan-"The doors to the throne room was suddenly thrown open, interrupting their conversation and both Ivone and Alpha Ardon turned their attention to the entrance

    Reyes smirked and his head rose in pride as one by one, the other Deltas fell on their knees and pledged their loyalty to him and his head swelled for a moment before his frown returned. He strolled up to the throne, stood in front of it and turned around to face the people in the room with him. He took one look at his father's body lying in the pool of his own blood and he smirked then scoffed, and his eyes went to Maya's body and his anger returned as memories of that scene replayed itself in his mind."I, Alpha Reyes Thorold of the Nightshade pack and ruler of Nyxoria, declare war on Alpha Prince Triston Valtor, on every member of the royal family of Elyria and on the kingdom of Elyria, for the brutal murder of my sister Maya Thorold, princess of Nyxoria," he announced in a deep baritone voice as he stood tall and proud, "For the sins of their Alpha Prince Triston Valtor they all would pay, every man, every woman, every child, every animal, every livestock.""Yes Alpha!" they all c

    Zina had retreated to the back with her ladies in waiting, standing behind the Deltas who were now rallying in support of Reyes' ambition to bring war down upon Elyria."We will take one of theirs, we will take all of theirs and we will take more!" she heard him shout out in anger and zeal, and then the other Deltas yelled out in support.She could not get the image of Maya's dead body out of her mind. Although she and the girl really didn't see eye to eye, one reason being the fact that she herself found it repulsive that she was mated with a girl, and that girl was Ivone and Maya stubbornly refused to reject her. She disliked her for that."Enough of that, Reyes," Alpha Korvin finally spoke up and everyone went quiet. Reyes turned to face his father with a look of confusion on his face. His eyebrows furrowed in anger and he slowly approached his father."Enough of that?" he said and pointed a finger to his sister's dead body, "That is the result of you saying "enough of that" to me

    Murmurs broke out from among the people in the room following their gasps of shock, it was still very early in the moring, the sun was just beginning to shine and most of the citizens of Nyxoria were still asleep in their beds, yet this tragedy had come to the royal family of Nyxoria.Maya's body laid displayed on the table in the throne room before her father and the Delta's in high positions in the kingdom. The sight was gruesome, she had a gaping hole in her chest and was covered entirely in her own blood. Her hair was in a shambled mess, soaked in her own blood and clinging to the skin of her face.Reyes stood a couple of distance away from the table, he had his eyes fixed on his father who was shocked to the bone staring at the lifeless body of his only daughter. He had one hand stroking her hair while the other shaky hand hovered over her abdomen, slowly making its way up her body where it stopped at her chest, right over the hole in there and he trembled even more."How did thi

    Alpha Korvin Thorold sat on the throne of Nyxoria with his his Delta, Kaiser Archon beside him, he had the other Deltas in the throne room as well and even Zina had been invited. None of them in the room were sure of why they had to be here but Dathan, under the command of Alpha Prince Reyes Thorold, had requested that Alpha Korvin and the others who held positions of high authority in Nyxoria be present as well."What did you say this was about, Dathan?" Alpha Korvin asked Dathan. They had been in here for almost thirty minutes now and he was already running out of patience, the only reason he was here was because his son had requested the meeting, but still it was just too early in the morning.Dathan turned to Alpha Korvin and bowed to him in respect, "I do not have all the details, Alpha, only that Alpha Prince Reyes had requested for this."Alpha Korvin sighed and reclined against the throne on which he sat. He turned to face Kaiser who forced a smile, signaling for him to remain

    Triston tried to reach out to her in worry but she held a hand back to stop him from getting closer or touching her."Did you see her off to the edge of the Nyxorian forest then?" he asked her again and Ivone again shook her head.She was gasping now and the discomfort she was feeling in her heart grew into a painful squeeze and without thinking, she reached out to Triston for support as she felt her legs begin to grow weak."What is happening to me, Triston?" she asked him in between gasps. Triston held on to her as she slowly gave her whole weight to him, and gently he lowered them both to the ground with Ivone protectively in his arms. She grabbed the dress around her chest and squeezed, feeling the pain build until it was most unbearable for her so she let out a scream and started rolling about in his arms.Triston held her to his chest now and cradled her head in his hand. He shut his eyes as she begun to cry from the pain she was feeling in her chest. Already, he knew what it wa

    The morning was close by, she could feel it in the air and she could tell by the weather. The forest had been dark and cold and lonely, she was torn between emotions, being happy for Maya finally set free to return home, and sad about the fact that she might not be seeing her anytime soon. She consoled herself with the fact that as long as they both were alive, there would forever be chances for them to meet again.She rode her horse in a slow gallop out of the forest, heading back to the Elyrian castle, it was possible that both Triston and Alpha Ardon would have returned by now and she wondered if Alpha Ardon would immediately notice Maya's absence. She doubted that because he ever since the day he had captured her, she had never seen him go down there. But whatever be the case, by the time he would come to learn of her absence, Maya would have already been long gone, probably enjoying a refershing hot bath in her room.She chuckled at the sight in her imagination and it warmed her

    The forest was silent of human noises and all that reached their ears were the cacophony of the forest night life and the sounds of their own breathing. Both girls sat atop their horses facing forward, they had just crossed the border seperating the two kingdoms and the realization of them having to seperate weighed heavily on them."I guess this is goodbye then," Maya was the first to say. She didn't lift her head to look at Ivone, instead she played with her fingers grasping on to the reins of the horse.Ivone turned to look at Maya and a smile slowly came to her face. She reached her hand out and pushed Maya a little on the shoulder and then she chuckled, "Why are you saying it like we would never see again?"Maya chuckled and a tear dropped from her eyes, "Right?" She didn't lift her head to look at Ivone still, it was too heartbreaking to say goodbye.Ivone sat up on the horse and lifted her face up to the skies, she took in a deep breath and let it out forcefully, then chuckled

    The air was thick with smoke and fumes from the flames rising from the burning buildings, most of the houses that had been set on fire were either already burnt to the ground or had been extinguished already. The village was desolate, they had been able to get most of the people away to safety during the invasion and the few unfortunate ones that had been caught in the cross fire were those who lived closest to the forest.The acrid smell of burnt flesh was concentrated in this part, carried around by the night breeze coming in from the forest along with the howling sounds of some of the werewolves that had managed to get past them and escape back into the forest. The destruction they had brought down to the village was more massive than Triston had thought it would be and it annoyed him.It was still night time and the moon was shining brightly above their heads. Triston stood in the midst of the werewolves he had slain with his white fur covered in their blood, he lifted his face up

    "What is is?" Ivone asked as she focused on her partner."Alpha Ardon," Maya asked and shivered, "What if we get caught Ivone? I cannot face him again, I cannot go through that again," she said to Ivone and shook her head violently like she was trying to erase a mamory."Maya, Maya..." Ivone called out to her and trie to calm her down," Alpha Ardon will never be able to get t you this time, I promise."But Maya was not convinced and she sniffed, "How sure are you? I do not want to take any more chances Ivy.""Alpha Ardon had gone to Goral," Ivone told her, "Remember the planned attack on Goral you had overheard your brother planning?" she asked and Ivone nodded her head, Ivone continued with a smile, "That attack is happening as we speak. Alpha Ardon will not be back for hours." Maya chuckled and wiped her eyes, "And Triston?"Ivone hesitated when she mentioned his name but then forced herself to smile as she leaned in to wipe a tear from Maya's cheek, "He is not here too Love."Maya
