Chapter 20: The Ghostly Grotto
Chapter 20: The Ghostly Grotto
Titan jumped, ready to fight or flee as needed. He stared at Prince Hayden. Prince Hayden stared at him.
“What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be watching Corinna! Where is she?” Bellowed the Prince angrily.
Titan relaxed. This was the real Hayden, not a doppelgänger.
“It’s really you? You’re not a doppelgänger? How do you know it's really me?” Questioned Titan, the Prince’s lack of suspicion making Titan suspicious again.
“It’s me! I know it’s you because I killed your doppelgänger after it attacked me. In its place, I found one of these,” said the Prince gruffly, holding out a stone eye.
Titan gasped.
“Looks like you found one too!” Said Hayden, pointing at the stone eye on the floor near Titan.

The douens were fleshy little creatures scurrying on their backwards’ facing feet. It was difficult to tell which direction they were going in but they drew closer and closer to the Prince in a circle. He sliced one clean in half from the tip of its straw hat to its feet. The two halves fell to the ground and moulded together like soft clay until it reformed the creature. The Prince gasped.“They’re already dead,” called Sprout from under the Prince’s collar. “You can’t kill them.”“Then what do I do?” Yelled Hayden, slicing them in halves on all sides as quickly as possible to buy time as he cleared a path towards the grotto’s centre.Cory managed to levitate towards the hole in the ceiling of the cave.

Chapter 22: Moments Before MidnightCory sat staring into the dancing red, orange and yellow flames of the roaring camp-fire. The pack warriors had been extremely impressed to hear about how the Prince retrieved the Vermillion Sword before his first shift. That made him a formidable future alpha indeed. Hayden had been in such a good mood, he had allowed them to set up camp early just a few yards away from the Dale’s Veil. The Vermillion Sword was tucked into Hayden’s belt and the Prince had a certain spring in his step. Titan was overjoyed and more than a little intoxicated with ale. The Beta was recounting their tale of triumph for the umpteenth time. Even Sprout was in on the revelry.Cory was the only one not thrilled at the moment. She continued to stare at the fire ignoring the festivities surrounding her. The pack warriors had begun to sing in unison, raising their glasses to

Chapter 23: Alpha WolfCory ran out of the tent but Hayden was nowhere to be found. The campfire had been outed and the men had gone to their tents. She did not want to alert any of them especially not Leech. She shuddered to think how he would behave if he knew she were alone and Hayden was indisposed somewhere. She did not want to be accused of acting indecently either but she had no other choice. She crawled into Titan’s tent. She spotted the Beta sleeping under a pile of blankets. Sprout was asleep on a saucer piled with blankets on Titan’s night stand. Both of them were snoring softly.“Sprout!” She hissed.Sprout stirred.“Sprout!” She called a mere inch from his ear.The tiny dweller shot up out of his saucer-bed. He tumbled off the night stand but she caught him in her outstretched palm.“Cory?” He said, rubbing his eyes.He curled up on her palm and tried to go

Chapter 24: LunaCory was not sure she had heard correctly. Either way, it did not matter. She was clearly hallucinating. This was Hayden’s wolf but she could not possibly be Hayden’s mate. He was the Alpha Prince, soon to be the Alpha King. She was a human peasant. From what she knew about wolves, they were matched up with the most suitable partner by fate to ensure survival. There was no way she was the one most suitable for Hayden.“I’m glad you’re ok,” she said softly, backing away from the wolf slowly.Don’t be afraid! Said the Alpha wolf in her mind.“I’m not afraid,” she answered it out loud. “I…Titan said I shouldn’t bother you during this time and he was right,” she said. “I’m…sorry,” she mumbled and with that, she tried to get Blaython to head back to camp but the tiger stubbornly refused.S

All the warriors had retired to bed so none were around to see a totally nude Hayden carrying a scarlet-cheeked Cory. Blaython happily sauntered into his tent.“Night, boy!” Called Hayden as though the massive white tiger was a loyal house dog.Hayden crawled into his tent. Cory felt her cheeks grow redder and warmer if that were possible. He set her down and stared at her as if he had never seen her before, as if he were trying to memorise every feature.“I need to wash up before bed…you are worse for wear from all the excitement,” he commented, picking a leaf out of her hair.He grinned widely at her.“Yes, of course, after you, Hayden,” she offered.“No, ladies first,” he said. He paused thoughtfully and then spoke hesitantly, “Perhaps, we do not need to go one at a

Chapter 26: Skin of the SoucouyantCorinna slowly opened her eyes. Her cheek was sticking to a hot surface. It took her a while to realise this hot surface was Hayden’s chest. She blushed deeply as flashes of last night’s escapades rushed back to her. She inhaled his scent, so clean and distinctly masculine. Had the Prince always smelled this good? He had certainly never smelled bad but she had not noticed this. Everything about him made a definite impression on her now that his first shift had passed. She was reluctant to get up but she knew there were still two more weapons to procure. She wondered if Hayden would increase the pace of their travel now that he had ascended to an Alpha position physically. He would not be able to take up the post of Alpha until he returned home to his father’s kingdom of werewolves.Cory sighed. She carefully tried to extricate herself from his embrace but it was to no avail. Ha

They’ll only slow us down,” announced Hayden.“It was fine when it was the prepubescent Prince slowing us down,” mumbled Leech to Lynx who snickered.Hayden glared at them and then slowly smiled.“Leech and Lynx will stay behind to guard the horses and the supplies,” said Hayden.Leech scowled and Lynx frowned.“We cannot leave our horses unattended with wild beasts about,” said the Prince.“So we’re leaving them with Leech, they’d be better off with the wild beasts!” Said Fracture, his laughter filling the forest.“And Fracture will stay behind to keep an e

Chapter 28: Overgrown and Under siegeZurie was large for such an isolated village. They grew all of their own crops. They made trips to the sea for fish and carted the fish back to village. They also fished in the rivers nearby though this was not encouraged. The rivers were a last resort for when food was scarce so the elders of the village did not want them depleted by overfishing. Cory was amazed at how colourful the village was. Each house was painted a different colour and the villagers were not afraid to choose vibrant shades. She spotted houses painted canary yellow, emerald green, coral pink, azure and even blood-red. It was as if there was an ongoing competition among the villagers with a grand prize for the house with the loudest colour theme. Cory and Sprout loved it. Hayden and Titan were not so impressed. Hayden, Titan, Venom and the twins had all shifted back to their human forms and dressed themselves near the outskirts of the vi
