~ ZoraBy the time I was done for the day, the sun had just begun to set. Abigail introduced me to all my home staff before she took me to the other wing of the manor where I had never been. There she showed me my own home office linked to a ginormous library where Abigail said all records of lycan and werewolf history resided as well as other knowledge. She showed me my routine. Every morning after breakfast, I had to read the Daily Wolf - a newspaper publication that carried all current events happening in the werewolf and lycan community. Then I was supposed to also read a newspaper from the human world to keep abreast of current events that may affect lycan properties and assets in the human world. After that, she showed me a ginormous collection of letters that had poured in from people in the lycan community and even outside of it. Letters from the noble and high ranking were kept in a red box, while letters from the commoners were kept in stacks of white boxes. Abigail info

~ ZoraThis time we took a road that I had never been on before and we drove at least two hours before we got to a section of the road lit up by torches on either side. Sector Three was a place surrounded by concrete walls built at least ten feet high and went as far as the eye could see. A group of soldiers stood guard and by the look on their faces, you can tell that they been familiar with death for too long. One of them came forward, from the headlights I could tell he was a man probably in his late thirties, early forties. When he came closer, he shone his flashlight into our car which was the first out of a long line. Once the guard, saw Nox, Roman and I, he gave a small bow and signalled to the guard standing in the watchtower to open the gates. “Let the other cars come in.” Nox said to the guards grimly. Other parents had been informed to withdraw their children from the main hospital and head to sector three. I was appalled to find that there were about seven of them who

~ ZoraIn a blink, I immediately rushed to his side, going on both my knees. Taking hold of his hand, I was horrified to see it was ice cold. I turned to the doctor who also looked at him with worry. "His skin is cold. I don't think he can go on." The doctor shook his head and opened his palms to me. "I don't know how else to talk to him. I am under bound authority to see this through to the end. Maybe you can persuade him." He said, pleadingly. I turned to Nox who weakly opened his eyes and slid them slowly to me. "Hey, how are you feeling?" I asked. Nox gave me his thumb up in reply but I knew he was lying. "I think you've done enough. You don't look so good. " I pleaded. Nox slowly shook his head. "Nox, please. I can feel a little of what you're feeling and I know you're not feeling good."Nox remains immobile. I whipped around on the doctor. "How much longer?" "Half an hour, maybe forty-five minutes tops." He said exasperatedly. "Sweet Goddess! " I muttered under my breat

~ ZoraThe drive to the Prison was surprisingly short. Roman had taken a shortcut and in under two hours, we were climbing down the stairs and heading straight for where the new prisoners were kept. This time, Roman led me down a different path and soon I was standing in a space with prison cells on either side. The moment I walked in, all attention was turned towards me. Alpha Callister sprang up from his bed and rushed to the bars, gripping it."Zora! I've been waiting for you!" He said, stretching out a hand. "It's the Queen to you inmate!" Roman growled at him. I was surprised to see him scurry back into his cell like he was terrified of Roman. "What did you do to him?" I mindlinked Roman. Roman's angry gaze slid to me. "You don't want to know." He replied. I admitted, I really didn't. "Please my Queen, I know things. I can be useful!" An idea came to my mind prompting me to approach his cell but stand afar at a reasonable distance. "What do you know?" Callister drew close

~ ZoraAfter Kirsten left, more people came forward to greet me, console me and say their prayers about Nox. Eventually, Roman found me and jogged my way. He beckoned to me from a distance so I said my goodbyes to the people and approached him. "I had no idea when you left." Roman said as he walked me out of the camp and steered me towards the car. "I thought you might need some privacy." I shrugged. "Thank you." Roman said, looking pleasantly surprised. "Where are we going?" I asked when I suddenly became aware that we were leaving sector three. "Home." Roman said. "You haven't had anything all day and haven't slept all through last night. You need some rest." "So, are you now my babysitter or… " I smirked. "I can be whatever you want me to be." Roman replied and his words took me by surprise because they seem to have some underlying meaning. Roman pinched the bridge of his nose, squeezing his eyes shut. "My apologies, that sounded inappropriate. I mean as your Beta and frien
