FinnI had no idea what love is or how it could be defined. But love was something I didn't believe in. For me, it doesn't exist. My parents were trying their best to find me someone I could easily adapt to but the whole thing was a difficult task. That fateful night I had slept with Everest and taken her for the first time. The guilt was still so fresh in my mind, now I knew she was already pregnant. How can I leave?"You've been absent minded recently, what seems to be the problem?" My wolf asked.I sighed,"I just don't seem to be in the right state of mind. You hear things for yourself, they want me to take a break from the academy and you know what that means.""So why are you so pissed about it?""You don't seem to understand what is going on. It isn't a bad idea to leave but I'm not ready to do so now, pending on when I decide. Besides, it is something I'm not interested in." I muttered."For the fact that they had given a strict order for me to leave the Luna Academy as soon as
Finn"It won't cost you much to narrate whatever is in your mind to me."Caleb responded."You know, it's not your fault at all. You are not to be blamed for anything. Just because you have a mate, that you were able to get one for yourself, it has been a problem on my end," I muttered.Caleb stared at me with a puzzled look."What do you mean? How?" He questioned."You know what I'm talking about." I replied.He shook his head in disagreement. “Honestly, I have no idea about what you're talking about. What are you driving at? If truly that is what had been the issue, then you gotta be kidding me.You're unbelievable!" He stated, in laughter."There you go, laughing once again.” He found the whole thing amusing, this made me so helpless."Caleb chuckled. "My bad! Please don't be upset. I'm not trying to make a joke of you but trying to state a point. Because it sounds a little weird to me. I never expected such a case to occur. For the fact that you had responded with great seriousness,
EverestThere was no way I could explain how I felt in a clear form. Seeing the guard's reaction got me startled and a lot of thoughts ran through my mind. How on earth could he have known? How did he figure it out? I wondered.Despite the fact that I got what I wanted, my mind wasn't at rest the whole night. I couldn't stop thinking about the conversation we had. His behavior towards me was also weird. Though, I had no reason to doubt him for the meantime. I kept wondering with lots of thoughts running through my mind.It could only be two things. It is either he's a physician who has the ability to detect when a woman is pregnant by merely staring and observing. Or it could be something Else. At first, the way he looked at me was so strange. I noticed his eyes were pasted on my stomach. But for the fact that he knows, it could be really dangerous and could affect my career.Having told him about my identity, he could possibly use it against me. What do I do now?I wondered. I felt I
Everest"So tell me, are you normally this quiet? Or you don't just want to speak to me on purpose?" He continued.I sighed. "Well, I am normally this quiet. But sometimes, I do talk. But I'm not too conversant with speaking to strangers." The guard burst into laughter. "You're unbelievable. So that is why you haven't been responding all this while."I cleared my throat." Not really! Actually, you have been interrogating me ever since I was captured. You only get to interrogate someone when he or she is guilty, expecting to get the truth." I responded. I didn't do anything wrong and I wasn't a spy. The only mistake I did was leaving the school premises without permission. The guard snapped his finger instantly. "Bingo! That is the main reason why I'm currently asking you several questions which I would like you to give a response to, in order to clear my doubt." He stated.I sighed."Which is why I said earlier on, I'm not a spy. So what other information could you be interested in a
FinnThe moment I received the report about Everest's disappearance, I couldn't get my balance anymore. I quickly paused the cheers game we were playing"Hold on! You mean, Everest has gone missing?" I asked my personal guard. He bowed his head. “Yes master. The body guards came back giving a report that she was nowhere to be found." He reported.I stood up immediately, leaving Caleb behind."I'm so sorry that I can't get the chance to play the game with you till the end, I have to go now." I stated."It's alright, As a matter of fact, I would love to come along with you" He replied.I shook my head in disagreement.``You don't have to. You can stay back. Besides, I wouldn't want you to be stressed. Knowing that you had come all the way." I stated.Caleb sighed."You don't have to worry. Besides, I chose to do so. It is something I would love to sort out with you as your brother." He replied.His response made me feel calm and less bothered.Because of the fact that Everest was missing,
FinnCaleb cleared his throat after confronting me." I'm sorry to say this but I would like to ask you a question." He requested.I shook my head.``Sure! You can go ahead." I replied."Alright, it's about a girl called Everest , I haven't heard about her before. So tell me, "Who's she?" He asked.I sighed, "You can equally see what I am passing through right now. The state of mind I am, isn't a pleasant one." I replied.Caleb shook his head. "I can clearly see that. I can tell you are very worried and restless, thinking about her. It is high time you open up to me. So,tell me who is she to you? Caleb asked. I sighed. "At first I never wanted to speak about it, but it seems like you're pushing really hard to hear from me. The lady you speak of is the lady after my heart." I replied Caleb snapped his finger. "I knew it, I knew something was going on. It was unlike you to have behaved in such a manner. That implies that I guessed right!" He exclaimed. I chuckled. "You don't have to
FinnWhile we waited for the guard to bring forth the body, we relocated to the private hall in the Academy which is located underground.I thought that it wouldn't be a good idea to have waited in my chamber. Knowing fully well that once the body is being brought to my chamber, it could attract attention. And by so doing, it could possibly ruin everything.All I wanted was to carry out a smooth investigation without being noticed by anyone. So I thought of a very safe and secured place to carefully carry out the investigation. The underground private hall was meant for the royalties alone. Only we could access it. Caleb and I went along and waited for the guard's arrival.I could feel my heart beating really fast. I was afraid to face the truth. All I had hoped for, was for the body not to be Everest's. But at the same time, I felt so tense and worried.While I sat, I kept shaking my leg and hands repeatedly. I couldn't stay put at a time. And at some point I stood up to my feet as a
Finn"Is there anything wrong?"I sighed. "There is something I needed to see. This body over here seems odd. My instincts tell me there's something off and I don't know why I feel like checking it out." "Well, you need to check it out to clear your doubts at least, you would know what you're up to."I stared at the guard who had brought the body."What was the cause of death?" I asked.He lowered his head in respect."Your highness, I have no idea. While we had gone for patrol in the forest, we found the body lying lifelessly."I shook my head."Is that so?" I asked."Yes, your highness."For the fact that they found the body in the forest, it was something I felt I needed to investigate. And from the look of things, it clearly looked like an attack. But to be certain I wasn't mistaken, I took a close look at it.I realized there was something strange indeed. I looked at the neck and felt something was wrong. Knowing that it wasn't a matter to guess, I needed to have a practical aspe
