Chapter 111

~AthenaJessica and I journeyed in the car to the resettlement area of the pack, which was also the poorest segment. It was the place where poor farmers who depended on farming and selling proceeds from the farm lived. We were going to offer them assistance in the form of clothing materials, money, and other items they might need. Most importantly, we needed to carry out a survey and find out what their difficulties and challenges were. This was done as often as possible; it was one of the media the king employed as a means of helping his people.I had seen Jessica leaving the mansion and asked where she was headed. When she told me, I had insisted on tagging along with her because I needed some fresh air and was tired of staying cooped up in the mansion every day.It has been 2 weeks since Jessica died. Her burial has been scheduled to take place in two days' time. The atmosphere in the mansion had become worse than it was when I arrived. The liveliness had gone stale. Every member

~AthenaAt his words, I narrowed my eyes, thinking of the best possible way to reply to him."Just apologize to him for leaving, Athena," Elsa urged.My brown eyes met his blue ones, the cold and merciless look in his eyes igniting some kind of feeling in me: anger.Why was he so riled up just because I left the mansion? I folded my arms defiantly across my chest and arched a brow stubbornly. "I was tired of staying in the mansion, and I needed some fresh air.""You left the mansion even after I told you how dangerous it was for you to stay away from my sight?" he barked, his tone frostier than snow.I rolled my eyes, already becoming tired of the tantrum he was throwing. "I can take care of myself, Richard.""Oh, for goodness sake, Athena! The last time you left this mansion, how well were you able to take care of yourself? Huh?" His eyes were wide and fierce as he glared at me."You can't talk now?That's right…", he threw his hands in the air and cocked his head to the side before s

~AthenaAs soon as he got to the bed, he leaned forward to me and checked to make sure I was asleep. I maintained my posture, holding my breath, trying so hard not to give anything away.I felt a bit disappointed when he rose from the bed and went to the bathroom. I listened to the sound emanating from there, the sound of the running water, imagining him beneath it as it caressed his lovely skin. I imagined my hand roaming round his body, tracing the chiseled planes of it, his muscular biceps and triceps, the hard wall of his chest, doing things to him I had wanted to do for a long time."Stop being naughty, Athena!" my inner voice of reasoning cautioned.I tossed and turned in bed and let out a sigh of frustration. After awhile, the tap stopped running and I could hear Richard step out of the bathroom.A few minutes later he was in bed with me. My heart was beating so fast I was afraid it might burst. I flinched as he slid his strong arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I c

~AthenaThe day for Sabrina's burial ceremony finally arrived. The mansion bustled with activity. She would be buried at the cemetery, the same cemetery where I heard Micheal was buried a few days after he died. My heart still felt a bit sore whenever I thought of him, what happened to him had indirectly been my fault too. If only I could go back to that night, if only… Richard and James had left early in the morning to get things in order ahead of their late best friend's burial.I was in my bathroom, having a long shower. For some reason, I couldn't shake off the weird dreadful feeling curled up at the pit of my stomach, nor could I ignore the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end, all signs that something bad was going to happen. What could it be? I pondered.When I was done bathing, I pulled a towel from the rack, wrapped it around my chest, and got out of the shower.Once inside the room, I could see Tracy looming over the bed with her hands on her hips, staring at two bl

~AthenaTracy raised her brows like a woman about to give the juiciest gossip, "It is said that about a quarter of the pack will be in attendance," she continued."They all are coming for different reasons, while some are coming to gloat at the demise of the woman who indirectly caused the king's brother's death, others are coming to see you."I furrowed my brows in confusion, "others are coming to see me?""Yes, my queen," she nodded. "You have only left the mansion once ever since you returned which was when you visited only the resettlement area. The news spread like wildfire. You know the king banned any visits to the palace by people of all classes after Ms. Sabrina's death, so this will be the first official time the people of the higher class and middle class will get to see you after what happened to you."I sighed, "Is that all?"She looked a bit surprised at my question and speculated in an unsure tone, "Were you expecting to hear something in particular?"I smiled, and lied

~RichardI narrowed my eyes in confusion at the man who had just spoken. They killed everyone?. I needed clarification on who had been killed and who had carried out the killings.But before I could ask him the questions plaguing my mind, James's voice rang out as he questioned him, "Speak in clear terms! Who were killed? Who is coming?"The man, still visibly shaken, looked at James and then at me. "All the men at the borders are dead, t..they are all dead," he stuttered.I could feel the fear that erupted in the crowd at his words. The atmosphere became very tense with anxiety as people's eyes darted around them, as though those the man was referring to were ready to launch an attack on everyone.The man's widened eyes gazed at me in fear as he explained further, "About 15 men came and they shot at us with silver bullets through the heart. We stood no chance; we had no fighting chance."My blood stilled at his words. James and I exchanged glances. If what this man just said is true

~RichardWe returned to the mansion from the Cemetery, but that was after I gave a short speech to the people on their need to be alert in this challenging time. I also let them know that they would hear from me on the next line of action we would take regarding the news that had reached us.At the mansion, everyone was still in a state of shock due to the news. It seemed though to have affected Athena more than everyone else.I immediately called all four of them to my office upon our return. My reason for doing that, was to try to advise the ladies, especially Athena and her mom, on the need to be strong now, more than ever, and not to fret so much about the situation we were currently in because if we give in to fear even before the war starts, we would have already lost the battle.I watched Athena and her mom, who were sitting beside each other on the arm couch in my office, staring into space as though they were dazed.James and Jessica, on the other hand, had pulled out the two

~AthenaI gulped at his question, feeling a bit blank regarding what answer to give. I had only spoken because I feared the idea of having to go to war, saying we could do things differently, even though I had no clue how we could go about it."We are waiting, Athena. Tell us what you propose we do?" Richard's voice reached me, reminding me of the herculean task I had been handed. I was about to shake my head from left to right when Jessica spoke, coming to my rescue and drawing everyone's attention."Your Majesty, we can extend a hand of peace. Let's reach out to this Alpha Frederick and try to settle things amicably," she explained.Why hadn't I thought of that? I guess I was still a bit shocked and confused with all that was happening. Sabastain had killed my unborn child, my stepfather, and even Ms. Seline, a woman who had taken care of me like her child and even stood up to him severally because of me. I guess he was tired of having to put up with her challenging attitude. It st

Chapter 119

~RichardTwo days have passed already since James sent a message to Alpha Frederick through a contact he was able to establish, but we are yet to get any feedback from him, and that has become very concerning.There have not been any new attacks from him or his people, so we are clearly in the dark as to what their next move would be. James and I visited the team in charge of producing machinery and kept them abreast of the new development and also informed them of the need to manufacture new weaponry made with wolfbanes. Even though it was impromptu and we might not be able to produce as much as we needed to before the war breaks out, that is if there would be any war, we still needed to make as much as we can with the limited time we had.Everyone in the pack has been asked to stay indoors for security purposes except the head of each house who fends for the family and would need to go out in search of daily bread. If they notice anything out of the ordinary from their homes, they

~RichardI believed every word she said. I have heard myths about white unicorns too. They are magical creatures, and their deaths are symbolic. I tried not to be afraid. It wouldn't be nice if she felt my fear. I decided to tone down hers and make it seem as though she was worried over nothing serious."Athena, you fear too much. We shouldn't read meaning into every single thing that happens. Let's try to stay positive sometimes," I kissed her forehead and watched her avert her gaze to the lifeless animal as though she hadn't just heard what I said."Come, let's go in. I am tired and hungry; I could really use some food right now," I grumbled as I tried to turn her around, but she hesitated a bit, still looking lost in thought."Athena, let's go," I reiterated wearily, dragging her. She finally concedes and follows me without a word. James follows behind us. He was one other person who understands the consequence of what happened.We got inside, and I first headed to my secretary's o
