“I knew I would find you here,” Steven said to the boy fighting with a dummy. “Go easy on it, it’s not the reason for your frustration.”“What are you still doing here? Shouldn’t you be gone by now that your brother is fine?” Sean asked irritated.If Steven was offended the way he spoke to him, he didn’t show it. “Now you talked of it, that’s what I came to tell you. We are leaving tomorrow.”“Safe journey,” Sean said as he slashed his sword on the dummy and kicked it with such force that the stick keeping the dummy standing broke off and the inanimate flew for a while before crashing on the ground.“Wow,” Steven said, really impressed. “With that force you might be able to beat the Original,” he chuckled. Sean didn’t say anything to him as he marched to another dummy to begin his fight anew. “They are not your equal match, how about you fight someone your own size, maybe it would make you feel better getting your ass kicked,” he said, grabbing a sword and approaching him in stealth m
“What now?” Irene asked the man sneaking out of the room.Edward sighed and closed the door gently before walking to sit on the couch. Irene followed him, sitting opposite him with her arms crossed on her chest. “Thank you for looking after her.”“It’s nothing. Watching over her for a few hours cannot compare to the ninety years you watched over me,” she shrugged. “But I’m serious, Edward, what now?”“I will protect her if it’s the last thing I do,” he answered.Irene noticed the difference in the man and she asked, “What is it?”“I can’t help but feel like I failed her once. Like a long time ago, but that can’t be true, I have only known her for a month and yet, it feels like years.”Irene smiled at that. “You hate her, how can you have failed her before?”“I don’t hate her Irene,” he frowned.“Oh, then you love her?” she raised an eyebrow, “isn’t a month too small to fall in love?”“I want to go to the rogues field,” he avoided her question. “I want to know if I will see him. The on
A man stood in front of a big polished gate. He closed his eyes and when he opened them again, they looked determined as he reached forward to press the bell on the wall.“Elder Maximus, I will think twice before ringing that bell,” a voice said behind him and he turned to see five of his pack soldiers.Maximus smiled. “I should have known. It is typical of Alan to put a tail on me.”“Alpha did it for the future of everyone, including yours. You should think twice of what you are about doing. Your single action now can ruin many lives and even so, bring chaos upon Blue Moon pack. The last pack that involved the High howlers in a fight was eradicated. Do you wish that for the Blue moon pack?”“No,” Maximus shook his head. “You are wrong, I am trying to protect the Blue Moon pack, I gave my sons to prove that. But Alan has become stubborn and has forgotten the Alpha code.”“That’s a lie, he is living the alpha code. He is protecting Aliyah, our pack member.”“He is protecting his daught
“Edward,” Aliyah called softly, sensing the dangerous aura that was surrounding him, “it’s me,” she whispered, hoping he could hear the hidden meaning in her words.Edward stared at the girl in front of him, her long deep brown hair cascaded down her shoulders like waterfall and then the face from his dream last night flashed in his mind and slowly it merged with the one in front of him. A stinging pain in his head made him take a step back and he winced as he grabbed his head in his hands and squatted down.“Edward,” Aliyah called worriedly, squatting down in front of the man and placing her hands on his, surprised that she couldn’t feel whatever pain he was going through.Edward winced and grunted softly in pain as memories flashed in his mind, all about one girl, when she was laughing, when she was smiling, when she was twirling in circles in the garden and the flays of her skirt surrounded her, making her look like a blossoming flower and he could remember that he had stood in his
Sean closed his eyes and placed his hand on the door knob, heaving a deep sigh he opened his eyes and turned the knob, his eyes determined as he scanned the hallway. His parents’ room was just at the end of the hallway and he was glad for the first time that it was so since he doesn’t have to pass their room with his father being a light sleeper. He gulped and walked into the living room, blowing out a deep breath as he slowly unlocked the door. Safely outside, he praised himself for successfully leaving his house without waking his father up, that never happened before.He cracked his neck, knowing it was now the big work started, he has to evade the watch wolves without being spotted, otherwise, he wasn’t going anywhere. He used the shadows to his advantage despite knowing he could be spotted but he knows how to sneak in and out of a place, hence why the alpha always get him for the job. Finally approaching the small gate at the training ground, he sighed in relief and made a run fo
“You called for us, Alpha Damien?” A man said and the other ones with him nodded.A man was sitting in front of them, his hair was long and white and cascaded down his shoulders. His black eyes lingered on the people in front of him as he petted his white beards. “Indeed, I did,” he said and his eyes went to the man standing beside him. “This is Elder Maximus Kurtz of the Blue moon pack and he brought a rather interesting story for us. I would have called for the meeting last night but you were all busy so I decided this morning would be better. Go on, tell them what you told me.”Maximus heaved a sigh and nodded, stepping up to address the High Howlers. “I don’t know if you have heard it but on the blood moon night, our newly mated wolves were attacked by the rogues.”“Wait, it was your pack?” One man asked and Maximus nodded. “Why didn’t your alpha report this himself?”“Let the man finish, Argon,” Damien interrupted.“Of course, forgive me,” Argon apologized.“Continue,” Damien sai
Rasmus opened the door on sensing his master’s arrival but when he saw the boy following behind him, his eyes widened in shock. “Another howler?” he asked and Edward chuckled, walking past him into the house.Sean watched the man in front of him warily, he could tell that the man was way more than five hundred years old by the aura he could feel from him and he understood that a single blow from him might as well send him to an early grave. He gulped and held the man’s gaze as he quickly followed Edward inside.Rasmus sighed and closed the door; does it mean that their palace would be welcoming howlers from now on? He shuddered at the thought of having about twenty of them in the house, how stinky would the house be if it ever happened? He was still adapting to one and now there is another? He turned and watched the boy, Edward had gone up the stairs, leaving him alone with him and now he wondered what he was supposed to do with him. He heaved another sigh and stood beside him, he cou
“My Lord,” a man bowed to the man standing in the center of the room. “I brought the information you asked for.”“Be out with already,” the man said, the hood covering his face and any expression he must be wearing.“The girl is still at the palace but we think they have consummated the mating bond.”“No!” The man shouted, turning to the fear-stricken man immediately. “How could that have happened?”“I don’t know my Lord, but we believed it was the incident with the witches that ignited the emotion. The Dark prince was really scared when he found her missing and he hadn’t gone easy on the witches when he found them.”“No,” the man said, “they were not supposed to get that close. That means we are behind than I thought.”“There is something else, my Lord.”“What is it?” the man asked irritated.“He is working with a witch?”“What?”“Aye. I have taken my time to study her, it is the pure blood. She is the one working with him.”“Hold on, the one he saved nine hundred years ago?”“Aye, m
