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
Once In The Dust 62 The Opening
Willow Rachel was hurled to the questioning room. The pack members that were around and saw what happened began to throw things at her. It was pretty fast. They had attacked our pack yesterday, and she had helped them return today. Was she working for them all along? I felt it was strange that she would give up her people so quickly. I was angry, but Christopher was livid. I could understand his rage. He was her Alpha. He cared for her and her family, and look at how she paid him back. Seeing how annoyed the top officers were, I knew this Rachel woman would not have it easy. It was sad that she would do this to them. I stayed to address the people while Christopher followed the kappas that were dragging Rachel away. I did not want to be in her shoes, but she deserved everything that was coming to her. She was trying to help Irvin beat us to the ground. We had yet to recover from the last attack, and she helped them through the woods for a second attack. She deserved everything t
Once In The Dust 63 A Dialogue With Apate
Willow."You have cheated, Selene," Apate said through Rachel's lips, and I Let Raya take over."Willow is my Champion Apate, are all these zombies your champions?" I asked her, and she laughed."Death is searching for you, you know. Stealing a damned soul is a crime. Your time is up, Selene. These clowns can't beat me. I have the hearts of kings and support beyond what you can imagine. Just like the first time, you will fall. These clowns cannot beat me. They can't even guard their hearts against me. I will turn them against themselves and destroy your team from within," She said, and I could only imagine why she was so bold about it."You will pay for your crimes, Apate. I know Irvin is your son. You are disgusting." I said, and she laughed."When you did it, it was okay. I do it, and it is disgusting," She said, and I flared up. Selene had taken over completely."I did it from love. I was in love, and I had a child from that love, but you just want power, and you used that man. You
Once In The Dust 64 The Coronation Part 1
Christopher Willow asked me the most disturbing question through the mind link, and it bothered me. She asked if I could see anyone who looked unusual on the table. The problem was I wasn't enhanced like her. If she asked that question, I knew something was definitely wrong with someone at the table. There was no way she asked that question for fun. "Did you see anything serious?" I asked her through the mind link, and she smiled at me. "Yes," She linked me back, and I was worried, remembering how King Lucien explained the process of corruption. Although the man did not know what was happening, he had explained the process of the corruption to me without knowing, which was why Apate was glad that we caught Rachel. Since we caught Rachel, I have felt a dark cloud over me; and I have been angry that the universe would take my wife from me and I would have to live alone for the rest of my life without Willow in it. No matter how I tried to see the bigger picture, I was sad because
Once In The Dust 65 The Coronation Part 2
Christopher King Edward looked in the direction of where the protesting voice came from and was a bit angry. "I agree," Another man said, standing up. "We get you are fond of Alpha Christopher, but naming his wife your heir so you can make him King is wrong, Your Majesty," he said, and everyone began to complain. I wondered if Apate was ruling their hearts. Though afraid of the King, they still found the nerve to speak out. "Enough!" King Edward said, sounding livid, but he was actually happy. I could feel King Aaron's giddiness. He just wanted to shut them up. "What nonsense is this?" he asked. "We do not want you to be angry, your majesty. We just want you to explain how Willow Walker is related to you and why we should allow her to succeed you when you're gone," a bear elder asked the King respectfully. Edward looked at his daughter and then looked at them. "I was fated to a werewolf by the name Leah Brooks, Alpha Devin Brook's sister, and before I exiled her, she was pregna
Once In The Dust 66 The Meeting
Willow Aaron had his head stuck far up his arse that he had forgotten his position. It was best I put him in his place. His eyes did not have black veins at the corners, but I doubted if corruption from Apate was necessary to turn him. He was already made up of everything that had to do with corruption. I was tired after the dinner party, and the moment my body hit the mattress, I fell asleep. I spent the next day with my father and the elders. They walked Christopher and me through the administrative process, and I found it tedious. The fact that I knew I won't be around for it broke my heart immensely, and I did not know what to do. Telling my father might kill the fight in him, and that was the last thing I wanted to do. I needed him to keep pushing for the sake of the people in our world. We had dinner in the night, and Christopher and I retired early so we could spend time together. Most of the Alphas of various packs had arrived in the Lycan kingdom, so it was definite
Once In The Dust 67 A Fearful Agreement
Christopher The alphas were worried, and I could see fear written on their faces. While the werewolf alphas were a bit composed, the bears did not fare well. I saw Miles' face, and he looked like he had seen a ghost. Honestly, I would have been the same if Willow hadn't eased me into it gradually. But I was too close to the action to be taken by surprise. "Do you have any questions?" I asked them, knowing Willow wasn't in the mood for a question-and-answer session. They were silent for a bit, and several raised their hands. I chose a bear alpha to start. "How do you have this information, your Highness, and how accurate is your source?" He asked, and Willow laughed. "Have you fought those things?" she asked, and he was silent. "Well, we did. Three times. They can't be killed unless you sever their heads from their bodies. In the last attack, we were able to capture one, who was a former member of our pack. She had not deflected for up to twenty-four hours when they sent her
