Carrington walked through the hallway briskly, turning back at regular intervals and from the look on his face, they could tell that he was scared to death. Xavier turned to face Rhea and tapped her across the shoulders and she turned to look at him.“What would your father do to him if he is caught?” Xavier asked “Exactly the same thing he plans to do to you,” Rhea smiled.Xavier frowned and looked away. His life was in as much danger as Carrington’s but at least, Rhea was with him. She could make the whole process slower if it came to that. She could plead to her father to have mercy on him and even if he eventually refused, at least he would have had the time to fight back. Carrington’s case however was entirely different. His life was in danger and there was no one that could save him. Xavier hoped that they were able to get to the journal before Ghost caught them.Carrington stopped in the middle of the hallway and turned left. He looked back again quickly to make sure they were

Xavier struggled to get himself out of the stranger’s grip without result. The night was dark and the sky was starless. The only source of light available was that of the crescent moon that was shining above them and even that was not enough for Xavier to make out a face.“Let go of me,” he grunted, struggling to free himself from his grip. “Not until you tell me who you are and what you are doing with the princess,” the voice grunted back. “Now you’d better start talking. You’re going to get yourself into a lot of trouble if you don’t talk.”“He’s with me,” Rhea said. “Let go of him immediately.”“Why should I let go of him?” the voice grunted back. “Or even you? Your father has put out a large bounty on your head and I’m looking forward to getting that bounty.”Rhea and Xavier exchanged quick glances under the cover of the darkness and they both turned to face the Lycan that had accosted them.“What bounty?” they chorused.“Well, it’s you of course,” the Lycan laughed and licked hi

It took them another thirty minutes of running before they could get away from danger and even then, they could still occasionally hear the voices of the Lycans that were looking for them in the woods. Rhea was tired and suggested that they slowed down a bit. Xavier didn’t like the idea of reducing the pace and subsequently, the distance between them and the werewolves that were pursuing after them but he didn’t really have a choice. He understood that she had been in the dungeons for some time, without good food and water and so, she needed to rest a bit. They slowed down as they walked further into the woods and Xavier turned occasionally to make sure that no one was following them behind. “We have not yet mastered the art of sneaking up on our enemies,” Rhea shrugged, noticing that Xavier was looking behind him every minute. “So don’t worry yourself about a Lycan attacking us from behind. It is not going to happen, I can assure you of that.”Xavier nodded slowly and they kept movi

“Come on Rhea!” Xavier called but she had already started walking back inside the cabin. In less than a minute, she was out of sight and Xavier was left facing four Lycans with really bad intentions for him.“Don’t be a pussy,” Salvador laughed and drew out his sword. “Come on let’s fight like men and let’s see who would have her.” Xavier turned to face him and shook his head. He drew out his own sword and steadied himself preparing for his attack. He was not one bit scared of Salvador even after all that Rhea had said. He was very confident that he was going to kill him.Salvador attacked him as soon as he drew out his sword, not even giving him any further time to think and Xavier found himself on the defensive immediately. Xavier side stepped and moved back a couple times, trying his best to dodge Salvador’s blows and fortunately for him, he was able to get by the first five strikes without a single scratch. Salvador was not getting tired however as he continued to swing his heavy

“What reports do you bring me from your scouting?” Ghost asked in a frigid voice, staring straight at the array of weapons lining the opposite wall with a murderous intensity.The anger swirling in him was like a thunder storm, and he desperately needed an outlet for his blood-thirsty urges.The warrior standing in the shadows near the entrance to the room, kept staring at the floor. It was better to stare at the dark floor for hours, than look up and risk angering the Alpha further. Especially when Ghost was in such a dangerous mood.“The scouts bring the same news, Alpha.” The warrior said. “Your daughter has been sighted in Black Wolf Pack territory.” He paused, like he was contemplating death, before he finally added in a lower tone. “Rumors have it that she plans to become their Luna.”An enraged growl escaped from Ghost, and he swiped a hand across a table, displacing everything on it. Several objects clattered to the floor in a thunderous crash. Most of them burst into millions
