Chapter 32: Shh
“Do you smell that?” Asked Hayden, turning to his Beta.
Titan nodded. Hayden and Titan tailed the scent all the way to the nearest brook. The trees grew closely together in this part of the forest. Their intertwined canopies blocked out the sunlight. The dark chilly atmosphere gave the Prince an unsettling feeling. He neared the stream and watched the water roll over the rocks. There were a few small fish swimming around the reeds springing up from the ground beneath the shallow water.
A set of ripples drew his attention. Something was dripping into the water steadily, causing ripples to diverge. The Prince realised the dripping liquid was not colourless like the water but a dark red. With each added drop, the thick red substance slowly turned the water pink. Was this the blood they had smelled? With one sniff, he confirmed it. Yes, it was one and

Chapter 33: Grave “Are you sure you weren’t having a nightmare?” Asked Hayden hesitantly. The Prince caressed his mate’s cheek gently. He trailed his fingertips along her neck down to her shoulders. He squeezed the muscles there. “You’re tense,” he whispered. Cory shut her eyes tightly. She had been afraid of this. “You don’t believe me,” she whispered. Hayden sighed. “I saw Leech with my own eyes. I buried him,” revealed the Alpha. Cory locked eyes with Hayden. She cupped his face in her hands, pleading with him with her eyes. “You have to believe me,” she said. “I reached for you, to wake you up, to show you, thinking you were next to me,” said Cory. Hayden took her hand in his and brought it to his lips. “But you were gone,” said Cory so softly had the Prince not been an alpha, he would not have heard her. “I am sorry I did not wake you,” he murmured, ki
Property of the Alpha Prince Chapter 34: An Acorn Among Mushrooms
Chapter 34: An Acorn Among Mushrooms Cory sank down to her knees with her back against the shelf of earth. She realised she was crying. Venom had been good to her. The real Venom had been kind and she had felt comfortable around him. Now, he was gone and some evil doppelgänger had been left in his place. Blaython nudged her with his furry head. The tiger seemed greatly concerned about her. She looked into his glassy eyes and pet his head, thinking out loud, “If Venom is really here where Leech’s body should be, then the Venom at the feast is Leech. Who else could it be?” She said, looking into Blaython’s eyes. The tiger gave a definite nod. “Does this smell like the real Venom?” She asked. Blaython sniffed the corpse. He nodded. “Did the Venom at the feast smell like himself?” She asked. Blaython just stared at her. She took that to mean that he had not ha

Chapter 35: Lynx’s Tale“Lynx!” Exclaimed Hayden, rushing forwards to grab his comrade by the shoulders, to make sure he was real.“We thought you were dead! Where have you been?!” Demanded the Prince.“Laying low,” Said Lynx, lowering his voice, returning to his typical volume.“Let’s talk about this inside,” suggested Titan softly as he put a hand on the Prince’s shoulder.The Beta tried to usher his comrades inside away from the prying eyes of the villagers.“Wait! Before we go, where’s Leech?!” Cried Cory, her eyes scanning the crowd.“You mean Venom,” said Titan.“You know what I mean,” said Cory, her anxiety level rising.“He’s probably long gone by now,” said Lynx. “Come on! Let’s go inside like Beta

Chapter 36: Onwards Corinna looked exactly like Venom. The potion was for shapeshifting. “Say something,” said Hayden. “Something,” said Corinna uncertainly but it came out in Venom’s lilting baritone. “You sound like him too,” said Titan in amazement. “So this potion could be used to turn into other people too, not just Venom,” said Corinna in Venom’s voice as she furrowed her thick manly brows. She got up and gazed at herself in the looking glass. She was enjoying being taller and stronger. She wondered if she could shift. Venom had been a werewolf. “Would she have Venom’s lupine abilities? Strength, speed, shifting, highly sensitive sense of smell, perfect eyesight,” listed off Hayden. Corinna frowned, realising her nose was not picking up more scents than usual. Her vision also did not se
Property of the Alpha Prince Chapter 37: Les Bois
Chapter 37: Les Bois Papa Bois or Father Woods guarded a vast dense forest simply dubbed Les Bois or The Woods. The forest was teeming with life. Life bloomed, blossomed, chirped, sang, hopped, pranced, crawled, walked, ran, swam and soared in every nook and cranny of Les Bois. Cory had never seen woodlands so heavily populated by animals. The woodland creatures in Les Bois were also the bravest Cory had ever encountered. They feared no one and approached the group inquisitively, seemingly demanding to know what business they had in these woods. The group was intent on heading to Maman Dlo’s River first and requesting that she summon Papa Bois since he was as elusive and enigmatic as one would expect a creature from legend to be. The woods were only a half day’s ride away from Zurie so Hayden had insisted they set out
Property of the Alpha Prince Chapter 38: Papa Bois
Chapter 38: Papa Bois Sprout was the first to speak. “Bon jour, vieux Papa!” Exclaimed Sprout, hopping off of Titan’s shoulder and landing on his feet on the ground before the hulking figure that was Papa Bois. Sprout bowed out of respect as he greeted the woodland guardian. “You lit the forest aflame,” thundered Papa Bois, making the ground tremble. The effect of his words and his might reminded Cory of Alpha Commands. Although, when Papa Bois made the forest shake, the birds did not fly away, they sat quite comfortably on their perches, observing quietly. “With all due respect, Papa Bois, we did no such thing,” stated Prince Hayden calmly. “We were awoken by the flames,” explained Cory. “We’re just as surprised as you are.” Cory nodded eagerly in agreement with her Prince. She wondered who could have caused the fire. She knew wi
Property of the Alpha Prince Chapter 39: Red Herring
Chapter 39: Red Herring “What?!” Squealed Cory, her eyes widening as she got to her feet abruptly, her chest heaving. “What kind of task is it that someone has to die?!” She demanded, her eyes on the archaic guardian. “It is a task not of my choosing but of the will of the Bow,” said Papa Bois calmly. Titan exhaled loudly as though he doubted the protector of Les Bois. A small smile tugged at the corners of Papa’s mouth. He let his quiver of arrows fall to the forest floor with a soft thud. Cory sat back down slowly as her eyes trailed over the quiver. It had the same markings as the rock on which Papa sat and the Omniscient Oak. It was eerily quiet all of a sudden as he showed the travellers another case. The case was almost exactly the same as the quiver except for one distinct difference: the markings on this case burnt much brighter. They burnt so brightly Cory wondered if there was a fire
Property of the Alpha Prince Chapter 40: The Bottomless Ravine
Chapter 40: The Bottomless Ravine “Petit Tache Woods is separated from Les Bois by a long bottomless ravine even though the woods are not mountainous!” Sprout explained as they trekked towards the edge of Les Bois. “How can that be?” Asked Smoke, furrowing his brow. “Someone must have dug the ravine then? Right, Sprout? It’s manmade?” Inquired Mirrors. “No,” said Sprout simply. “It can’t truly be bottomless,” insisted Lynx. “It is,” said Sprout confidently. “No one knows how the ravine came to be but legend has it that the bottomless ravine leads straight to the centre of the earth!” “Then, Lynx is right,” said Titan. “It isn’t bottom if it ends at the earth’s centre.” “Legend has it,” enunciated Sprout carefully. “It is widely considered to be bottomless,” squeaked Sprout indignantly. Cory smiled slightly to herself. She knew Sprout hated interruptions
