Chapter 8We Love You"Sure, you should at least get to share a drink with your dad before you leave". Alfred said as cheerful as he could try to be as he poured her more wine. "You see dear, I and your mom understand that this whole thing is hard for you, but then as your parents, all we want is what's best for you and also safe for you. You do know we love you right," her dad said as he held her hands. Alex just nodded. She could never doubt the love her parents had for her, though she had no friends and all that, but then, this two had been her best buddies, always being there for her. She hugged her dad and extended her other hands so her mom could join the hug, she loved it when they had family hugs, she was content with this life, if only she could have just this, her momma, her dad, their lifestyle, this house, she would be more than happy, but why then did things have to change? Fine no super ability for her, but then no family too! Her mom came closer sobbing "I a
Chapter 9Couple TalkThey soon finished their dinner, Alex offered to help with the dishes but Diana refused, saying, it was her birthday and she should just enjoy the rest of it. Alfred helped Diana in the kitchen, this, sometimes was what they did when they wanted to have a conversation outside their room, they would either take a walk or just do something together.Her mother was super right, she really should just enjoy the rest of the day. Alex dragged herself into her room and threw herself on the bed after safely keeping her birthday gift. She stared out the window, the moon was still beautiful, she stared at It, wishing once more that all this was just a dream, a bad dream, but she knew better, all of today was real, just too real, she wondered for a moment how life was going to be out there, without her parents, would the moon also be there? The moon was one important part of the werewolves, how was it going to be like out there? "Would you be there, on the humans' side?" Sh
Chapter 10Intruder!"Good morning wolf," Alfred said as another wolf also in the royal guard uniform approached him, he stretched out his hands for a handshake. "Good morning Alfred, the cock is yet to crow but we are already sending our morning greetings," the other man said as he took Alfred's hand."Well, that's the nature of our work" Alfred replied. "Keeping watch over our clan, first to wake up, last to go to sleep" Alfred added, "and a respectable work at that" the other man added. "Yeah" Alfred simply replied."Though I think the part of the royal guards working in the palace is the luckiest" the man stated, clearly trying to keep the conversation going, in which Alfred wasn't Interested. He had to leave for the vampires' lands, he was done with his shift and would be off duty for the weekend too, he needed to sort out everything for his daughter to leave for the human lands and he wasn't going to spend any of it holding a conversation he didn't need at the momen
Chapter 11 Finally!Alfred had perceived the smell of vampires nearby and assumed he must be close to fang city. Finally, he had reached. He cornered at a place and transformed back to his human self. Putting on his clothes he came out, without putting much thought into his safety, 'it's a marketplace, let's blend in and not raise suspicion' he thought He busted out into the clearing and was suddenly surrounded by vampires who were all in uniform glaring at him with drawn swords. 'Fang city was a center for merchandise so they should be used to receiving visitors right? So what's all the hostile glaring about' Alfred thought."Hi" Alfred waved cautiously "what are you doing here wolf man," one of the vampires asked. "Just came for some business" Alfred lied.The vampire who had just talked was about to say something when he was interrupted by Raymond who walked majestically into the circle where Alfred was surrounded by the guards. "Wolfman, if you are here for a bu
Chapter 12Wisdom and RidiculeAfter a while, they arrived at Wilson's house. It was a duplex, quite exotic yet simple in a sense. There were a lot of flowers crawling over the walls, a few skillful sculptures, and creative drawings on designated areas of the wall, with well-trimmed flowers at the entrance. The interior of the house was, wow! long coated walls, a long shelf towering to the roof, consisting of rows of books, encyclopedias, and whatever, and a long lather rested on the shelf.Wilson led him to a comfy chair with a tv screen in front of them. He picked up the telephone which was at the side table and placed it in front of them.Alfred and Wilson were the only ones inside the sitting room, Wilson had ordered the guards to stay outside as soon as they approached the front yard. "Have a seat" Wilson said to Alfred and gestured to a chair just behind Alfred. "Thanks," Alfred said sitting down without taking a look to see where the chair was placed. When he enter
Chapter 13Couple Night"Escort him to the border and make sure he leaves" Wilson ordered them.Alfred Returned home exhausted, it's been past four days, and lucky for him, his off duty was for a week. Diana ran out and hugged him immediately she sighted him from the window.He collapsed into her hug sniffing her hair and, he loved her scent, that mate smell that had attracted him to her the first time. "Welcome home my love" she muttered, he could tell she had been crying from the soft sound of her voice. "Am sorry" he muttered into her ear as he bent over her, his body towering over her smaller frame. She clung tighter to him, "don't be, it's not your fault" she mumbled while trying to hold back new tears, "maybe it's even my fault, maybe I did something I shouldn't have done while I was carrying her, or maybe I was careless or... Oh yes!" She exclaimed as if she had realized something, she pulled out from the hug and looked straight in his eyes,
Chapter 14She left!The rest of the week ran by like it couldn't wait for Alexandria to leave Luna Land, Alexandria was gloomy throughout the week but she tried to put on a bold face in front of her parents, she knew this was hard for them too, 'after all, am daddy's warrior, I am a strong girl, I can do this she thought to her self trying to gather courage. Her parents were understanding, they stood by her, once, she cried herself to sleep in her mother's lap, while her mother patted her hair, and they both sang together a poem which they usually sang in their trying times.__when the sun rises to say hello, it won't find me blinded by anger and pain in the dark night, the sound of breaking hearts wouldn't make me deaf to the cries of others____I won't faint, and though I fall time without number, I would take a break, gather my strength, and won't forget to rise up again____when the sun finally says hello, it would catch me doing my business, the things that have to be done by
Chapter 15HolandisAlexander, Ben, and his escort walked for quite a while till they reached a clearing where a bus was parked. The driver got in and turned on the car lamp so that the men could get settled in. Alex stood for a while staring at it like it was some magical chariot that descended right from the sky.She hadn't seen any cars at Luna land, though she had seen pictures of them in her school books, at the werewolf training academy, she had never actually seen any real one. The means of transportation at luna land were mostly horses, sometimes donkeys, and for very far journeys, camels. Only the super-rich got the privilege of getting very fancy chariots, which Alexander thought were extraordinarily beautiful each time she saw one.Alfred watched them get to the bus, he wanted to stay longer, perhaps wait and watch them leave, but he knew with the way he was hurting that he could ruin things, he might get out there and get his daughter back!It would be
