Once In The Dust 54 How The Dinner Went
Willow. I watched as they dragged the culprits out of the dining room. People were in fear, and Queen Agnes was shaking. "I swear, darling, I did not know that was what they were doing. I genuinely thought you had a brain disease," She said, wiping away her tears. Elder Ramos looked at my father with concern and then looked at me. "Thank you for saving his life, young lady. The Lycan kingdom is indebted to you. You have averted a horrible war that would have happened had he died. Thank you so much." He said, and I smiled at him. "It is an honour to serve my king," I said, and then the man nodded. "If I may, your Majesty, Alpha Christopher's Luna looks a lot like your mother. She has her eyes," Elder Ramos said. "Is that why you are so fond of her?" he asked, and my father began to laugh. "You are too nosy for your good, Ramos; I am glad you notice the similarities between her and my mother because that brings us to the next reason why I called this dinner," He said and touched
Once In The Dust 55 Who Do They Serve
Willow, I was amazed at how my father broke the news and how they took it. I wondered what would happen to Agnes because the punishment for treason was death. Would he exile her as they did to my mother, or would he go by the book? It was sad that I could not relish in the moment, but I was grateful that my mother would get the justice she deserved in this life. My father asked Christopher and me to join him in his lounge. He did not want me out of sight, and I could understand his feelings. I would honestly do the same. Looking at how attached he was, I suspected he would not want us to leave, but we had to. I was racing against time, and there was still so much to do because the vision remained the same. I still saw the massacre and the bandit clan winning. We entered the lounge and sat on the loveseat, and Christopher drew me close. I sank into his embrace and wondered why it didn't go this way in the first place. Yes, I did many things differently that put us on this path
Once In The Dust 56 Back To Rain
Christopher It was amazing to see how Edward took Willow's explanation. I was waiting for him to feel insulted, but he believed her. I knew if it weren't for the incident with the Bandit Clan that attacked, he would have doubted her sanity or felt we were spewing nonsense. It is all working together for good. I was worried when Elder Ramos told us why former Beta Gregory tried to kill his king. If indeed these people possessed such powers, their offer could seduce anyone. Their strength was growing, and soon, I could see Willow's vision coming true. I did not know how to solve this matter. As things were, Aaron wasn't helping the situation in our territory, and I felt that would be the first place the bandits would overrun. Lucien blocking off his territory might have been to protect his people, but the bandit clan was part of his problem as most of them were bears and not werewolves, as presumed. Could he be waging a silent war with the werewolves? It was odd that the clan co
Once In The Dust 57 Dark Angry Eyes
Willow I could not believe the sight of the pack. It was horrible. There were burnt buildings, and there were a lot of injured people. I needed to figure out where to start. It seemed the medical staff had attended to them, but somehow I felt responsible for this. While I was spending time with my father, they were suffering an attack. I looked at Christopher as he checked on his officers, looking confused, and asked myself if I was good for him. I might be a lousy distraction without knowing it. He really did not need to go to the Lycan kingdom, but he did. He did it because of me, and I felt terrible. I checked on Luis, and he was in a comma. Leeana was crying by his side, but I was glad to see that she was alright. She stood up to hug me, and I wrapped my arms around her. She sobbed bitterly. "They came for us, Luna. They came, and they were impossible to kill. It was as if they possessed some special powers. We were at a great disadvantage. He tried to lead, and Mark and A
Once In The Dust 58 The Champions
Willow The player looked at me with pure rage in his eyes, and I was a bit scared. Instead of showing fear, I felt my lips curl into a smile. "I have made my move, Apate; it is time for you to make yours," I heard myself say in a voice that wasn't mine, and he looked at me darkly and angrily. "You are not allowed to cheat, Selene," he said with a female voice, and I shook my head. "Who said I was cheating? I am just doing what you have been doing. I just aided my champion." She replied, and I wondered what that meant. Apparently, I was seeing through Selene's eyes, and our opponent was Apate. "That was your essence, Selene. Killing my team with powers wasn't a part of the deal," He said and soon, the event that transpired when the rogues attacked us on our way to the Lycan kingdom played. I saw myself. I was a lycan white wolf with bright light emitting from me. It killed all the rogues that came in contact with the light. "What do you say for yourself?" Apate said, and Selene l
Once In The Dust 59 What Is Coming
Christopher I woke up and felt her body was cold. Honestly, I panicked, but I remembered the event in the past when she had an encounter with the goddess and decided to give it time. I waited a bit before entering the bathroom to prepare for the day. Although I never let anyone see my tears. I cried. If only I wasn't too blind and loyal, all this wouldn't have happened. I should have accepted my fated when she came to me and protected her from Aida, but I failed, leading us down this path. I knew Edward would not take it well when the time for Willow to leave came, just as I wouldn't take it easy. As much as I appreciate the surrogacy, I would have loved the journey with Willow. I rested my head against the tiled wall under the shower and wept. "Just let her remain with me. I am begging you. I will never ask for anything more but for Willow to live a full life with me. Please," I prayed, hoping the powers that be might listen and grant me my wish. Soon I heard footsteps and wi
Once In The Dust 60 The Assembly
Christopher. Luis, Garret and Mark were a bit confused with my words, and I could understand their confusion, but it was time to tell them the truth. They had encountered shifters that were almost impossible to kill and immune to silver; they should believe me. What they had witnessed was an impossibility, and yet it had occurred. "Willow, meet me in my office," I linked my wife, and she did not respond. I knew I left her with unfinished words. "Willow," I said, and there was no response. I looked at Luis. "Have you told the pack members to assemble on the ground?" I asked him, and he nodded. "Still linking them as we speak," He said, and I nodded. "Please excuse me; I will meet you on the grounds. I just need to check on my wife," I said, and they agreed. I sped back towards my room. I was worried. I shouldn't have left things like that. I shouldn't have voiced my pain as I did, but I had to. I was desperate, and I wanted the goddess to help me so I could keep my wife. I w
Once In The Dust 61 The Second Time
Christopher. Willow's warning to the pack members hit home, and I knew why her wolf would put it out there. It is important that she makes her move before Apate does. I could see clearly now that it was a game. Sowing in the hearts of the pack members that they were attacked because of a witch was a bit extreme, and it would leave room for people to be suspicious of me. "Some people are no longer among us," Willow continued. I had to link her immediately because I was yet to educate my officers on what was happening. "Please wait," I told her, but she ignored me. "There are two things," She continued. "They have either joined these corrupted groups or abandoned this pack. Their names would be listed. You should not maintain a connection to them or allow them to corrupt you. My husband and father will protect you as long as you remain loyal to the moon goddess and no one else. Am I clear!" she said with so much authority that resonated in the air. I felt the pressure, but I held
