The Seeker continued to chant for minutes before saying, without looking at anyone."The people who must bring calamity to this tribe are amongst you."The Dowager mother was getting impatient with the Seeker."I do not understand what you talk about, say it and let us understand you, seeker."She said. The seeker turned and pointed at Alpha Kai who stood with hands interwined with his Luna's, Katara."Him and his Luna and a certain stone bearer will bring ruin to Valmore. They will bring calamity to Valmore! Look out!"The Seeker announced. The people present were shocked.The Dowager mother had a reproachful look on her face and Abramo had a doubtful look on his face. Katara was surprised but she didn't say anything as Alpha Kai held her and walked away. The Seekers left under the escort of the two guards who'd brought them."How is that even possible?"Katara exploded once they stepped into their chambers."I do not know. You heard the Seeker say that you and I and a certain Sto
General POVKatara was in the study with her maids, making embroidery and talking about her future with the Alpha Kai Vicenzo and the maids, Olga and Sterling agreed to all she said.She spoke dreamily and laughed so much In delight that the girls for some second thought she might be mad, mad with so much happiness, perhaps.Alpha Kai walked in unannounced and settled in a chair beside Katara. The maids bowed and at the snap of Katara's fingers, they exited the study."I shall be on my way to some some neighbouring tribes which I still have an affiliation with. I shall go and fetch food for the people before we decide on what next to do."He explained meekly. Katara was silent for a while and so he continued to speak."I would have to go with my Beta, Abramo. It might be a bit difficult to leave the tribe in the hands of an inefficient or unworthy person….and, it might be risky to leave you with anyone other than Abramo but I'll look out for the very best of my men to take care of Val
General POVAlpha Kai returned and told Katara of the Dowager mother's plots even in the dungeon. She'd gained loyalty from the guard who brought her food and through him, they'd started to mobilize men who would in turn usurp Alpha Kai Vincenzo. Alpha Kai had found out through Abramo, who always had a way to unravel evil plans against Kai and the guard was killed.Katara was thoughtful for a moment and thereafter said,"If you will let me, my lord, I will take care of the Dowager mother. Do not unsheath your sword for her sake and do not have her blood stain your sword, every tribe will be against you if you do it."She said those words, knowing the tenets of the Kingdom."So, what do I do then?" he answered. "How do I get rid of her?"He asked petulantly. Katara smiled."Don't worry. I will take care of her. Do have faith in me and let me handle this, my lord."She beamed. Alpha Kai nodded and promptly exited the chambers.His mind, in thoughts of what exactly his mate was up to.W
General POV "What has troubled you so much, my love?"He asked while his hands teased her."It's the Dowager mother. The errand I've been running for the Luna... it bothers me."She said frantically. Abramo stopped trailing his hands along her arm briefly."Be coherent, dear. What errand do you run and why are you talking about the Dowager mother?"He asked. He was seriously interested now in the discussion and his tone of voice couldn't say less."I mean, the Luna's been giving me food to take to the Dowager mother ever since the gaurd who worked there was killed.""Don't forget, he was killed for his conspiracy. He wanted to usurp Alpha Kai but of course, I found out."He said proudly, happy to defend Alpha Kai with all he was worth."Okay. Anyways, I've just been brothered that something might actually be wrong….don't you think so too?"She asked.Abramo shook his head."Whatever happens is for the best. Alpha Kai and his Luna will never be wrong, whatever they do is for the good
General POV"You're welcome to Valmore,"He said just as a royal chair was produced for the Luna to sit.She perched on the chair like one who was zealous to leave anytime soon. Her guards stood. Many of them stood outside. At this time, the coronation ceremony had stopped and all the pack members had returned to their homes.The guards all stood outside."Yes, greetings and good tidings I bring."The warriors like Luna said as she snapped her fingers. The guards who stood outside all started to troop in with gifts. Fabrics, jewelries, and different precious stones."These are gifts that I have brought to you, king Kai of Valmore and your queen, Katara."Katara was dumbstruck, a tribe obviously as rich as this had come to pay homage to Valmore!"For what do we deserve these?"Kai asked after the Luna had Introduced herself.She was a widowed Luna, who had been to many wars after the death of her Lord."I have brought these gifts to show genuine appreciation to you, on my behalf and
General POV Alpha Kai did not spend the night with his Luna. He was ladden with so much grief and worries. He sat up all night by the water and stared into it.There was a rustling in the bushes behind him and he stood up, alert and ready to attack. His bright wolf eyes penetrated the leafy awning as his hand rested on the sword that rested in it's sheath around his waist.He looked around."Who're you?"He called into the suddenly calm bushes."It is I, my Lord. I have followed you my lord after seeing how troubled you have been. I'm sorry if I bothered you..."Abramo said. He emerged from the bushes and bowed to Alpha Kai."You didn't have to follow me, Abramo. I'll be fine. I only wanted some time alone."Alpha Kai said."I'm sorry for being a bother. I was concerned about you. You wouldn't let the words of the Seekers get to you, my Lord. It could be a conspiracy and you should not take it to heart, my lord,"Abramo consoled sensibly. Kai took deep breaths and sat back on the ban
Alpha Kai's POVKatara would be worried that I'd spent the night away from her. She would be worried, that I might not be very safe.My thoughts has kept me from thinking much about her. I'm wondering if she is as worried as I am over the words of the seekers!The curse! I'm wondering if perhaps I'm only over reacting. What if she'd slept peacefully rest assured that none of the curses pronounced on us, would come to pass?"My lord, you've not stepped into your chambers this morning. Perhaps, you should go to your Luna, and show yourself unharmed to her?"Abramo said impatiently as he waited for me to leave the stable.A few servants in charge of the stable, see us standing by the just returned horses and bow deeply to me and Abramo and then move on to tend the horses."Perhaps, you shouldn't stand here while the horses must be tended to."Abramo continues to say.He is restless that my worries would show in front of the servants and it might be seen as a sign of weakness.In a man
General POV"What do you mean? What prophecy?"Kai asked, he knew what the young woman spoke about but he wanted to make sure she didn't fool him."I am Santina. It was prophesied to you that your Wolf kind must go into extinction In due time. You've become what you are today by working and striving but your destiny must be fulfilled, you and Katara!"She said. Her chest heaved as she spoke and her eyes suggested belligerence.Katara sits still, amazed at the turn of events. She still find it difficult to comprehend what had been said but she senses Kai stiffen as the words of Santina sink in.The prophecy, the Hybrid and the furnace bearer and the stone wall who unbinds everything!He was the furnace bearer!Katara was the Hybrid with powers of a vampire and a red werewolf and here, standing before him was Santina, the stone wall who unbinds everything and anything!He listens as Santina talks about her powers."I am able to unbind anything through the power of the stone because I am
