James pov. It was morning and I stepped out of the barracks, the morning sun pressing gently on my skin. The sky was clear, with soft clouds drifting lazily above.Yes it was another day, another day to go about my daily work.I raised my head, my eyes focusing on the clouds. I squinted up at them for a moment, but my thoughts weren’t on the weather, my thoughts were occupied, they were occupied with something else, something important. They were on Auren. Again.It had been seven long days since he was taken. Seven days since he was taken right in front of me. We have Been carrying out little searches, to see if we could find him or stress get a clue of where he was. The only hope we had was the rogues but since He had managed to get away, we have been stranded with nowhere to look. As I walked down the dirt path between the warrior quarters, I could hear the familiar sounds of training, grunts, shouts, and the sharp clanging of metal. It reminded me of that same day, that very
Silas’ pov. The sound of hot air flowing into my mouth sounded as I sat alone in the large hall of my castle, my fingers wrapped around my tobacco pipe. The room was silent, quiet, the air was heavy with silence And also with the scent of smoke. I took another slow drag from my tobacco pipe and let it out in the air, watching the gray mist curl and float toward the high ceiling. The fire crackled in the hearth nearby, but it did nothing to warm the cold stone floor beneath my boots.I leaned backwards, taking another drag From the pipe, the taste of smoke seemed to get better and better with every drag I took. My throne sat on a raised platform at the end of the hall. Velvet red carpets lined the path leading to it, of course this was how I liked it to be, it fits my taste perfectly. The openings on the wall were covered with tall windows which let in rays of moonlight, which cast long shadows across the room. Leaning back on my chair, I relaxed slowly, letting the silence wrap
Auren's pov.My eyes twitched as I laid on the floor, my body ached and the cold floor of the cell didn't help one bit, I was fast asleep, I haven't been able to sleep for days. But then I noticed that since mira started coming to visit, I have loosened up a bit l, at least I was able to sleep For a few hours now, unlike before when I always wanted my eyes to be wide open all the time. My mind had been occupied with a lot of things lately, so I thought of home. I have been here for about five days now, I wasn't sure, I barely even see the sunlight so I could hardly tell if it was night or day. I wonder if James, father or mother would be coming for me. I couldn't help but wonder what was taking them so long, they should have been here by now. Or have they finally decided to abandon me?. No no, They can't do that. That is unlike them. Another thing which bothered me was mira, she had been a very good company to me and had made my stay here less boring than it should have been. S
Ezekiel’s pov. I leaned against the oak tree, letting my back rest against the bark. The wind rustled the leaves, and for a moment, it felt like the tree was speaking to me. Like it was trying to tell me to hold on. Be patient. Be strong.It must be in my imagination, but I was ready to go with the flow. How could I be patient?How could I be strong?I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.“I will find you,” I said. “No matter what it takes. I promise.”Even as I said those words, I knew something deep in my heart, this was Auren’s moment. His time to grow, to fight, to survive. I hated the thought, but maybe the world was forcing him to become strong. To stop depending on us. Maybe, just maybe, this was his path to becoming the man he was meant to be.Still, I wanted to be there for him, I wanted to protect him from every wound, every fear.But it seemed I won't be able to do that, and that truth hurt more than anything.“Kailey doesn’t sleep unless I lie beside her,” I muttered
Ezekiel’s Pov“What do you mean you lost him?” My voice was all over the place, echoing in my office, I could Feel my blood boiling in my veins. “I'm so sorry alpha” James pleaded, his head hung low as he stood in front of me. I sighed, trying to catch my breath and cool my rising pressure. “How could you let him slip away, James? How?” James grinded his teeth, I could see the disappointment written all over his face, “I'm so sorry. Ezekiel. This is all my fault, I am to blame” I sighed, running a hand through my hair “We need to do something about this, if kailey hear about this, she would—” “We don't have to tell her about it, at least not yet” James muttered. “She would eventually find out” I said with frustration, “The walls have ears you know” “We will tell the luna, but not now–” “You will tell the luna what?” The door suddenly pushed open and Kailey walked in. I gulped, unsure of what to say. “Kailey!” I called, stepping out from behind my desk. “Nothing kailey, Jame
Auren’s pov. I was back to my loneliness, the cell was dark again, I must admit that I had kind of liked the company of mira. Though I had just known her, she seemed like a nice person, and to think that she was of the Same age range as me, made it even cooler.My only fear was if she was just a spy, maybe alpha silas had sent her over to get some information from me, or maybe get me to be her friend, probably to lure me over to his side. A naughty laugh escapes my lips, the latter was less likely to be the case, however, the firmer, may just be the answer to my questions. Another thing I didn't want to overlook was the sadness in mira's eyes, though she had tried to mask it with the smile he had put on, it was still there, I had seen through all that happy and playful face. I find myself thinking what must probably be the problem, which also made me think that maybe she was also a prisoner or held against her will. Or maybe it was still all part of silas plan. Hours passed
