Jake and Fay did not go out the entire day, they were indoors. Jake reported ill, not that he was ill, he wanted to spend a little time with Fay. They did nothing apart from lying in bed, talking. Fay was telling Jake about the first time he had his transformation and Jake was telling him stories about the pack. It was serene. They spoke until night came.The boys sat on the bed, their backs to each other. Fay was facing the bed and Jake was facing the window, looking at the sky and waiting for the full moon. They sat in silence and none of them spoke to the other but their hearts spoke louder. They had grown fond of each other in the short time they met. They were two lonely souls and parting was hard.Fay didn't want to go. He wanted to stay and look for his real parents, his biological parents. Even if he did not find them, he was positive that the ruler would never kick him out. He just did not want to go back to people who acted all scared around him, he felt like an outcast arou
He wanted to warm up too, to smile back at her but he did not. He would not try his luck. "Congratulations." He told her.She left her cooking and walked to where he was standing, unafraid. His heart skipped a beat and continued to pound in his rib cage and he wondered what was happening, why was she coming closer today, why did she seem bolder. She stood in front of him and took his large palms into her small ones, his face flushed red and a tear fell on her face. She was crying too, and he wondered why."I'm sorry." She whispered to him.His eyes widened for a moment and he blinked faster. She was apologizing. He did not know what she was apologizing for but what mattered to him was that she was apologizing. "I am sorry I have not been the best mother... I was scared, I did not know what you had become or who you were anymore and instead of drawing closer, instead of shielding you with my love and care, I neglected and kept my distance. I know how hard it has been for you and I'm
"Have it. Hold on to it till you come back, let it be a reminder of my love for you." She said.He nodded."Thank you." He replied.His voice sounded choked. His mother then tapped his back."Hurry up now my boy, don't arrive late." She said and he walked past her. He went out of the house and started running, not in his wolf form. He ran till he arrived at the woods. He kept his bag on the ground and transformed, Hank, picked the bag up and kicked off running. He ran fast and hard and when he got to the spot where he usually met him, the boy was already there. Even though a tree stump was where he stood, he still leaned on a tree. He stood straight the moment Hank arrived and Hank transformed. "Thought you would not come," Jake said.Fay scoffed."Why wouldn't I?" Fay responded."My father sent his regards," Jake said."Let's go then," Fay responded.Jake noticed the backpack for the first time since Fay arrived and he smiled."Didn't notice your bag," Jake stated.Fay did not resp
Fay bowed, just like he had done earlier."I appreciate your kindness, good sir," Fay said."Think about my second offer son." The man requested."I will sir," Fay said.When they left the throne room, the boys walked back to Jake's room. They wore their armour and they left the room to the garden, it was already past time for swords practice. When they got to the garden, Zoe was already there. She was training with the head gamma, her skills were inexperienced and she always ended up on the ground each time. "Hi, Fay." The girl greeted Fay.Her lips curved up in a smile. Fay didn't like her, she looked suspicious."Hi, Zoe." He greeted the girl too.The girl left the training area to stand with Fay. Jake replaced her and he was already training with the head gamma. The girl stood beside Fay, her hair tied up in a ponytail and her breathing was fast. She ran her green eyes over Fay and though he did not look at her, she knew that he knew she was looking at him. She wanted to strike u
It was after a week before Klein did what he promised. It was after a week before the search for Fay's parents began. Not that it had to wait a week before it should begin but Klein wanted to keep the boy. The child was gifted with swordsman skills and he was strong, stronger than Jake. Klein prayed every day that Fay's parents should not be found.Klein first of all called for the elders of the pack, the four oldest living werewolves. They consisted of two Betas, one gamma and one omega. When the elders arrived, he summoned Fay. The boy was in his room when the summon came, it was just after the daily lessons with Mr Jones and he was preparing for swords practice. He left the room with the omega boy who came to convey the message. When Fay and the omega boy came to a large door, they halted and the omega boy pushed the door open and told Fay to go inside.When Fay walked into the room, he met Klein sitting on the head chair and four other strange faces staring back at him. Okay, thre
The elders turned to look at him."Why not Klein? Do you know who they are?" Priscilla asked, suspiciously."I don't but we shall not look for them and even if we find them, we must make sure to silence them and keep them away from the boy," Klein answered.The elders' looks intensified. They were all confused and suspicious."But why Klein?" Tom asked."You of all people know why Tom. That boy is strong, stronger than Jake. You saw that." Klein spoke.The elders turned to Tom."What is he talking about Tom?" Priscilla asked."You see, the boy is very strong. His strength is that of an Alpha, even more. He defeated me several times in sword practice. Tom answered.The room went dead silent."So what do you want to do with him?" Priscilla asked Klein."I want to take him, make him my child. The pack needs a strong ruler like him." Klein answered."And Jake?" Bob asked."Jake is my child and will continue to be my child but when it comes to the pack and her welfare, we must be selfless.
Fay smiled at the man and waved. Jake looked at the boy, his face was burning red. He cursed and he walked out of the garden, angrily. Fay watched the boy leave and he could feel his heart squeeze. He wondered why the boy was so angry. They were friends, brothers. Brothers are supposed to be happy for each other.When he retired to bed that night, he could not sleep. He had recently turned seventeen and he had no one to sing a birthday song to him, no one gave him gifts, and no one even noticed. His thoughts raced back home. He thought about his parents, most especially his mother. He wondered how they are faring, he wondered if his father had made peace in his heart with him.He wondered if the child his mother was carrying would be a girl or a boy. He thought about the stall in the market, he thought about the boys he used to hang out with, he thought about his life back in the human territory and he missed it. He missed his parents, he missed his mother.He reached for his chest an
Jake too was in his room when he heard the noise from outside. He did not have to open the window to know that it was the werewolves. He knew why they were coming, he knew the announcement and he knew it will not yield any fruits. It infuriated him because he would not get Fay out of the pack and gone soon. But he will. No matter how long it will take him, he will and he must.The door to his room opened up and an omega girl came inside."The Alpha requests for your presence." The girl hurriedly said and turned around to leave.He wondered why the man wanted to talk to him. Nevertheless, he left the room and when he went outside, he walked to the balcony where the Alpha was standing. The man was standing there with Jake's mother beside him, Jake and his sister stood behind their parents and when Fay's eyes met with Zoe's green ones, she winked at him. The Alpha instructed him to stand beside him and he did. When he looked below the balcony, he could see a great crowd. The whole pack
