Raul and about nineteen of his minions sat on a round table in a meeting to discuss reports he was given concerning May and her new life.
Raul was seated, surrounded by the males in his minions as he listened to their reports, hands-on his chin as he caressed his beard in thoughts.
“Hmm…” he nodded slowly. “So she did; huh?” Raul was concerned. “Has it been confirmed that she lost her memory? I mean are you sure about that?”
Raul finds it difficult to believe what he is hearing about May’s memory loss condition.
“It is confirmed, boss.” One of his minions replied carefully choosing his words.
“But how?” Raul sat up in shock. “Did you find out what happened?”
“Our sources say that she arrived their territory looking really beat up.” Another male narrates. “I mean she lost a baby and was nearly beaten to death by Lucas’ men. She barely
“I thought about all you said last night and I thought to myself,” Hayley replied soberly. “That I was just being hard on myself and you… I really shouldn’t be beating myself over something that is a past issue and moves on.”Coleen is silent. He listened to her, his eyes fixed on her.“I know you and May have a history together and I admire your concern for her. I wish my brother or anyone else for that matter would do the same for me.” She chuckled. “So, I just feel like since I can’t help my brother anymore and I’m here now, I could do my bit to help out. Starting with this.”Raul’s face lightened up with a bright smile. Hayley blushed and turned her face away from his gaze.“Why do I think there’s something else you’re not telling me?”“You don’t believe me?”“I don’t know. I just… I don’t unde
“Yes; we were. When I heard she was here and living a happy life, I missed having her around and it’s because of you that I’m able to have this chance.” She smiled at him. “Thank you.”Virgil nodded in silence.Immediately, they are interrupted by the barging in of some male werewolves who grab Hayley.“Hey; what’s going on?” Virgil asked in an attempt to release her from his grasp.“I have ordered.” The werewolf roared.Hayley struggled with the male but then stopped to listen to their conversation. She thought she was being adopted but then realized that she was summoned by the village priest. She had always wanted to meet this priest to understand his powers since she heard that they were kind of alike. So, she allowed the werewolf to carry her to the village priest’s place.Hayley sat in the village priest’s lair. It was full of weird kinds of stuff. She gazed
Modi was pleased to meet Hayley and welcomes her into his kingdom. May was seated beside him watching her alpha’s actions. Hayley’s eyes are fixed on May. She wondered how Raul could have lost such a lovely female. She was barely listening to Modi’s words. May, on the other hand, did not realize she was staring at her. She all smiles watching the scene and Hayley thought she made for a beautiful queen.“She has come in search of her sister, Queen May.” The priest announced while Hayley stood, head slightly bowed down.“Beauty seemed to run in this family.” Modi winked at his queen.May gazed at Hayley a little confused.“I have a sister?” she got on her feet and approached Hayley to take a close look at her.Hayley stared in silence hoping that this plan would not be a waste of her time. because if May remembered her in the slightest or even denies having a sister, it would be a failed plan.
The werewolves had left Lam for dead and scrammed.Raul howled in pain and returned to his human form with his dead minion in his arms.“Oh Lam!” he sobbed. “I’m so sorry… I was too late.”“My b-boss…” Lam managed a cough.“Shh….” Raul sobbed with Lam in his arms. “We’ll get you home and you’ll be alright.” He howls calling for help from his minions around the area.Lam coughed and tried to explain. “I’m sorry boss… I’ve f-failed you.”“Who did this to you?”“T-the priest.” Lam stuttered. “He’s, he’s…” Lam breathed his last and died.Raul was calm trying to piece what Lam had said when his other minions arrive in their werewolf forms and slowly approach him sobbing. Raul gets on his feet and walks away from them while the others howl in pain and
Modi gazed at him in confusion. He wanted to be angry but keeps his cool because he wanted to hear everything the priest had to say. He was upset that the priest had such information but conveniently kept it away from him all this time.“What does that mean?”“I saw you die in a war.” The priest lied. “I looked into the pot and I saw your death. It frightened me so much, I had to make moves to protect you.”Modi listened in silence, his heart beating fast. He has never thought of himself as someone who could easily be killed especially since he had the priest as a part of his pack.“Remember the Moon goddess foresaw a battle and I did show you earlier; a battle between you and your queen’s former lover. Though I didn’t see your death at the time, I did see that you would lose your queen to him. And that’s why I kept insisting you laid off the female but you insisted that you needed her.”
The priest was amazed to discover that Virgil had at one time dealt with an original. He chuckles as he continues to watch the image in the bowl of clouds.Meanwhile, Hayley was still in Virgil’s past and Virgil seemed to have gotten used to the exercise.Virgil arrived at Anna’s place and was amazed at what he saw. Her apartment was beautifully decorated with pictures on the wall, a beautiful set of cushions, artificial flowers and it smelled really nice.“Welcome to my humble home.” She smiled and headed straight into the kitchen leaving him in the living room to look around. She soon returned to find him sniffing her flowers.“You need to take a shower and change those clothes.”“I don’t have any other clothes,” Virgil replied gesticulating.“Yeah; I think I can help you with that.” She headed into one of the rooms in the apartment and Virgil followed behind her. “Thi
Virgil nodded in agreement speechless.“I’m sorry about what happened to you. I really wish I could help but I don’t understand how it works in your place. Giving you a good foundation is the best I can offer so you can be able to qualify for the best opportunities here. I hope you can accept it?”“You’re doing more than I ever expected already. Thank you so much, Anna.”“It’s nothing.”“I promise to be loyal to you.” He swore.This touched Anna so much, she paused her meal and turned to gaze at him slowly. She was surprised. No one has ever said such words to her before. She had never had any real friends and was pleased to hear Virgil make such a promise to her. She nodded in agreement and teased him saying, “I’ll hold you to that.”“I mean it.” He continued wearing a sober look. “No one has ever been this nice to me not even in my p
“Stop; please stop!” Virgil takes his hands from Hayley’s grip in tears. The memories have left him emotional. Hayley exhales and allows him the break. She watches him pitifully in silence.“It’s too much…” he sobs. “I miss her a lot.”“So what happened?” Hayley did not seem satisfied. She was enjoying the story and wanted to know how it ended. “Did you leave?”Virgil nods and sighs. “I had to. It was too risky for me to be there.”“Would you like us to continue?”“No!”“You can rest it out and we’ll continue some other time.” Hayley makes to leave him but he calls out in a small but sad voice.”I was so stupid… I never heard from her again. She is the reason why I am so educated and different from the others.”“You can still make amends to change all that, Virgil. You sti
