Episode 16: Ceasefire
I’ve led a battalion, soldiers of vengeance and retaliation. And now, the war has started. Of the scenario I have long projected in my mind, it is now the phenomenon that my eyes are witnessing. The werewolves of Abberant pack… is now suffering the agony of killings and loss. Of desolation and grievance. Of misery and affliction.
“On my signal, set the soldiers for code seven forty-four,” I instructed Khael which he quickly delivered to Samara and Tyler who holds control of the military squadron and over the fifteen cannons.
“Is this what the Senate wanted me to do?” I asked in a mocking voice. But Samara just laughed and deflected the way, gathering a portion of the cavalry directing east.“Maybe.” She shrugged. “It was up to you to reflect. It wasn’t me who is enchanted by an enemy.” Their squadron parted, forming an organized array. Veering towards my position, Samara rested her right arm across her chest and dropped her head. “We will take our leave from this distance, General Gaia. Our Pinansey-angan kingdom looks forward to our future diligences and also to the formal marriage alliance.” With that, she smiled and galloped her mount off.“Bring
‘Flora of the night and mists,Of flaring teal cyan.Thy petals that cast rhapsody,Of ocean peace and silence.’ I dallied the azure orchid glowing at my fingers. The servants may have forgotten to remove these flowers at bloom. Perhaps, every room here always has a space occupied for rare flowers and vines that are only native to this territory, lucky for me to take a glance at this mystic creature. Azure orchids’ buds detonate toxic pollens that can cause temporary loss of consciousness. Maybe this was here for a reason
“Three of the same ones, General. But to our source, she said they escaped Daghum on the third one. So, I thought we can enter on the fourth—” “Enter if you can,” a pitched voice interjected. Our heads then instantly turned to the malnourished tree by the tunnel to where that tiny voice come from and saw a pygmy-winged lady. “You are?” The pixie answered with her nose and lips pointed out. “A pixie as you can see. And I say you will only pass through the gate if you answer three of my riddles.” She carries this green vibrant pair of eyes, a strange floral mark on her forehead, and a band of weaved leaves around her head. Wearing all in lim
Reaching the inside of the palace, Deianira opened six doors by the corridor. “Apologies for talking too much. But I guess it’s about time. These rooms should be enough for all of the envoy, and enjoy the rest of the night,” she blurted out and quickly rushed away. Her arms were shaking, sweats started to drop, and a strange haze emerges from her body that she started to cover up as she walks accelerated away. “Enter by five as soon as possible. Secure locks, protect yourselves!” Mayari commanded when I gave her the signal. In a click of a second, I pulled them inside the room. Ear crashing bell ringing sound thundered across every inch of dust floating in the air. And the dome sheltering the palace ignited with a sea of flames.
“You are the Abberant Alpha’s mate and loving him is such defiance costs great penalty. But you are not the only creature in this world that had committed the same mistake ” My eyes were blandly darting daggers of prudence towards the empress. The smile on her face widened as she pace forward closer to where I am. Taking a sigh, my arms then trip over and released the neck. “Who?”“Let me tell you a story then,” the Empress uttered and stretched out her arm. “May you have the time to listen?”&nbs
“How’s the General?” His mocking voice echoed in my head, steps starts to hasten and every stride became serious. “What do you need this time?” I uttered. With my armor and clothes soaked entirely under that river, chilled water drops and marks every step I tread. The shaking in my hand… the sudden pounding of my beats and unusual breathing. The unexplainable feeling arousing every time he’s around. “I don’t know, maybe this lady ahead of me.” My feet began trembling, receding back towards the high-end cliff. Diego might have no plans to stop, he continued to step forward. Causing me to pull out back, nearer the tip-off. Down th
“Amalia! Camilla!” My lips let out a scream the moment half of the dagger was buried rashly inside of me. The chains that were restraining me in captive clanged as I hauled it in pain. To the sudden voice that popped out of the opened door, it was another being. “Just in time, Gianni. You nearly missed the fun,” the girl in a dark shortcutted hair chanted, talking gaily delighted. “Where is the Alpha?”“They’re out, off the pack borders. Have less enough worry, Camilla. Didn’t the Alpha already had cut the bond between him and this mate of his? We can do whatever we want.”
“It’s always been her after all these years. Why don’t you get it even at this time? This stupid mate link connecting you two leads to nothing but periodic pain. You aren’t getting tired of enduring the same kind of heartache over and over again. Why don’t you let her go?” “It’s a matter,” Diego muttered, not drawing his eyes away from the lady lying down on the bed. “Between me and myself, not on you.”“But what about her, Diego? Her pain and ignorance of the situation between you and her. You keep on repeating and forcing that forbidden love imprinted between you and her making Adira the greatest fool in this trap. She may have forgotten the past but it was never lost in history. I know she was again attracted by the link, cut it.” Edith tapped his shoulder as her legs stro
