"Maya, we would only go to disturb his Majesty, you know that!" Chase said with a deep frown, looking down at his mate who had held on to him and had followed him to the palace, both were standing in front of the palace building.
She started sniffling as if she would cry any moment "But you promised I would see Kaiden on his birthday but you didn't bring me and that day had passed" She said tugging at her husband's warrior regalia.Chase looked down at his mate who had been behaving a bit strange for a while."Would you even just leave me for a while, it's not as if I would disappear from you" Chase said with a frown.Maya pouted seeing the frown of her mate "You don't love me anymore, you don't!" She exclaimed, crying.Chase laughed, he looked at her and his laughter suddenly died down seeing that his wife was crying and not joking."Jeez! Maya!" Chase said as he tried to hold back Maya who had disengaged from him and was walking into the palace "Maya, honey!" he called but she continued walking at a fast pace, pulling up her long beautiful sky blue gown which seems to be hindering her."Greetings my lady" Servants greeted on seeing the mate of the third in commander to the Alpha, leader of the warriors, she answered with a nod as she continued walking in haste to the throne room where she could perceive the Alpha's strong scent."Jeez! so much energy!" Chase complained as he stopped to catch his breath, his mate seem to be full of so much energy this morning unlike on other days "Is she eating meals that give super strength" he thought to himself, he could catch up with her on other days but today she seems to be very fast and that was coupled with the fact that she acted strangely, he looked forward and saw Maya dashing towards the throne room."So much strength!" He exclaimed as he raced to catch up with his mate.Kaden had one of his hands at his waist as he checked the books on the shelf, he was searching for which to read, he gave a small smile as he saw a particular book, pulling it out, he perceived a very strong scent of a female, he creased his brows as he wonders who was the owner of that scent, it was somewhat familiar but he couldn't place the personHe frowned all the more as this scent had some of his third in commander mixed with it but it seems–He paused and turned just as he could hear the person's footsteps."Kaiden!!" Maya's voice rang out."Maya?" Kaiden called in surprise "I–" he was cut off as Maya jumped on him hugging him tightly, he winced in pain as she unknowingly pressed on his injuries-filled body.Chase who had entered in time to see the reaction of the Alpha, frowned, apart from his scent and his mate's he could perceive that scent, Silver? ... he wonders.Chase moved near to them, he rolled his eyes as Maya reported him"Kai?" She called him as she disengaged from him, Kaiden smiled, remembering that, that was the name she had always called him."Yes Maya" He answered as he took the book and both went to seat down on the couch."Chase deceived me," She said with a frown, "He told me he would bring me to the palace to celebrate your birthday with you but he abandoned me and went around chasing after other females" She accused as she looked at Chase who shook his head."Really?" Kaiden said, playing along.They had all know the Maya's story ... She wasn't an inhabitant of Crescent Glove Park, she was brought to the park when she was much younger alongside some others, their Park was conquered by his late father l, he could remember vividly that those they had brought to the park were so grateful to his father cause their Alpha was a tyrant."Yes," She said and pouted childishly."You want me to displace him as my third in commander so you would lock him up and he wouldn't be able to chase any female around?" Kaiden asked making his face serious.On hearing what Kaiden has said, Chase stopped the scent of Silver he was trying to decipher."Wait? Seriously!" He asked looking at Kaiden who looked serious "That was a joke right?" He asked to be sure but both Maya and Kaiden looked serious.Maya tilted her head to a side, she brushed back the strands of her black hair, twitched her mouth for some seconds, and said "What if I pluck out his eyes?" She asked.Kaiden grinned "You are such a genius," Kaiden said, giving her a thumbs up and nodding."Are you guys serious?" He asked with his eyes widened, both Kaiden and Maya looked at him and nodded."You will have to apologize to Maya," Kaiden said while Maya nodded."Why would I–" He stopped as once again the scent of Silver seems to wave under his nose whenever he turned in Kaiden's direction.Did he use– the thought and immediately wave it, of course, hoping against what he thought?"See," Maya said pointing at Chase who was still standing, gathering his thoughts together "He wouldn't apologize for a cause–" She stopped midway as Chase walked towards her, bent down, his hands on her lap his hands soon found hers, and he caressed."I'm sorry" He apologized, he stared at his mate lovely while Kaiden watched.'Is this what having a mate could be?' He wonders, he took his gaze away from them and settled it on the book he was holding.Maya hugged Chase, he sniffed the air and the scent of Silver hit his nose, it was so strong and it was coming from beside him, from Kaiden.Oh goodness! ... Chase exclaimed mentally with fear.He disengaged from his wife, and he stood to his feet, his wife took Kaiden by the arm and dragged him up, Kaiden's face contoured in pain which again Chase saw.Chase almost shouted as he saw a big bruise just where Kaiden's sleeve has been lifted."Let's go outside," Maya said and went with Kaiden.'Garry!' Chase called as he mentally linked Garry.'Yes,' He answered.'I could perceive that scent on Kaiden' Chase said with panic and that only made Garry on the other end agitated.'What scent?' Garry questioned.'Silver' Chase dropped the bomb.'What the hell do you mean Silver?' Garry questioned-concerning ng his tone.Chase nodded as if Garry was there with him 'I confirmed and I also saw a big bruise on his arm just above his wrist, I saw it while Maya dragged him up' he explained.'Maya is at the Palace?' Garry asked.'Yes,' Chase answered with a roll of eyes knowing what his friend would tease him.'Seem you got a hell of work to do, family man' Garry teased, Chase rolled his eyes 'Keep your eyes on him, don't let him out of your sight' He said firmly.'Okay,' Chase answered and cut off the link.Chase hurried out of the palace, he looked around but didn't see both Kaiden and Maya."Did you see the Alpha and Maya?" He asked just as one palace worker wanted to step into the building.The older woman nodded "Yes, they went on a stroll alongside Madam Dera" She said, pointing to the direction in which they had gone.Chase nodded and hurried off....Chase stood beside Kaiden while Madam Dera stood at the other side some distance away plucking some flowers.Chase wonders if Madam Dera could perceive the scent of blood and Silver emanating from the Alpha.He looked at Madam Dera whose eyes were on the Alpha, soon her eyes caught that of Chase, they exchanged glances and opened up their mental link.'The Alpha looks weak' Madam Dera stated, she looked at Chase who nodded slowly.'You know why?' He asked.'No' She answered, Chase, creased his brows'What about you? Do you know why?' She asked.Chase decided against telling Madam Dera cause she might become fearful and that could make Kaiden suspicious if she begins to act fearfully around him.She waited for his response but got none, she averted her graze from Maya and settled it on Chase wondering why he didn't answer her but then she knew the reason, Kaiden's graze was on Chase who was staring at his mate with an innocent look."Do you know why she is hyperactive?" Kaiden asked as he saw the creased brows of his third commander, thinking Chase was confused about his mate's strange behaviors.Chase turned to him "No, why? She told you anything?" He asked.Kaiden shook his head slowly "You will soon be a father" He said.Chase blinked, processing the information and finally he seems to get it "Oh goddess!" He exclaimed as he looked at Kaiden who gave a small smile.Madam Dera frowned "You don't know?" She asked in surprise as she stared at the happy man who shook his head in the negative "Slow man" She added.Kaiden smiled as Chase rushed to hug his mate who looks confused but hugged him back.Madam Dera smiled "I love beautiful scenes like this," She said, her smile widened.Kaiden looked at his nanny, he saw her happy smile, he sighed sadly...'if only he could just feel that emotion called happiness and not this void' He thought.Madam Dera looked up to see the Alpha's eyes on her, she smiled all the more."A good news indeed," She said, she looked at the mates again, Chase had told Maya and both of them were jumping happily like kids "That slow man!" She said and chuckled, she looked up again when the Alpha didn't comment, still, she met his gaze in her.She looked around maybe there was something he was looking at but there wasn't."My lord?" She tapped him, Kaiden shook a bit, seems she had broken him from some thoughts "You are lost in thoughts" She said.He stared at her with his sad droppings eyes and looked away, she sighed with understanding, she knew that the voidness had taken over him again.He placed both hands behind his back, down his waist, he turned and wanted to walk away when Maya rushed to him."You going to be an uncle!" Maya yelled happily but Kaiden deep in her world didn't respond but kept walking.Chase exchanged a glance with Madam Dera."Kaiden?" She meet up with him, tapping him, he came to a stop, he looked at her "Are you mad at me?" She asked, he shook his head "You just ignored me!" She exclaimed sadly.Kaiden forced a smile "I'm sorry" He apologized, Maya nodded, she intertwined her hands with Kaiden's, and both continued walking.Chase would have playfully complained about the closeness but now was the time, so he just watched and was somewhat grateful to have a playful mateAs they walked on, Kaiden wondered what could be wrong with him.'Did I do anything wrong?' He continued to wonder as he tries to remember if he had ever gone wrong.He kept walking but his mind had wandered off to nowhere in particular."Kaiden! See!" Maya yelled happily as she pointed at some flowers, it wasn't the call that brought him to reality but it was the pain he felt due to how Maya had unknowingly pressed against his arm.He nodded "Beautiful," He said, then stopped as she ran towards it.Kaiden could see the happiness Maya got from the beautiful Flowers on her face.'Would I ever feel happy?' He questioned as he stared at Maya whose face was shining with happiness.Maya walked to him and again intertwined her arms which cause pain to shake his arm ... he winced quietly."See" She held the flower up at him, he forcefully stretched his lips to form a smile, and his mind began to drift away again.Pain.He remembers... Pain always made his mind stay with him. He held Maya tight, the pain shot through him again, and he tightened his grip as the pain increased.He was about to tighten his grip again when he seems to realize she was his best friend's mate and damaging a part of her body doesn't speak well, he relaxed his grip and slowly his mind began drifting into nothingness.A figure appeared, cladded with a long black robe, the figure turned around to reveal his wrinkled face, his hair of shoulder length and grey, slung across his shoulder was a black weaved bag."Humm" He hummed as he looked up at the clouds which were gathering up darkness in them, his wrinkled face was slowly turning into a frown when he heard whistling from afar."Woo hoo!" The feminine childish voice sounded.Something speedy passed him, causing his hair to follow in the direction of the breeze gathered by that thing.It stilled, a little girl in a long red robe with a hood over her head was standing on a Witcher broom, she pushed her hood back revealing her babyish rounded face, the broom which was some distance away from the floor slowly descended and finally, she got down from it, she snapped her fingers, the broom disappeared."Where is Master Gunner?" She asked her tone depicting the five years old she was.Gunner who was standing some meters away from her, rolled his eyes and c
A panting Garry enters the throne room, shirtless, he had just shifted back from his wolf form for a minute Rune's eyes seem to get stuck on the male's chest which offered her eyes the fascinating sight of a heavily built male.Her cheeks turned crimson.'Rune! Check yourself!' She mentally scolded herself as she tore her gaze away from the panting Beta."What did he say?"Chase asked anxiously looking at Garry.Garry sighed and shook his head "No, he went for a run, told me to leave him alone" He answered, Madam Dera gave a sad sigh as she sat down, and soon tears started to pour from her eyes."Is there no any other way?" Garry asked, concern evident in his voice.Gunner shook his head and answered "No, there is no other way" Garry slowly sat down, his face laced with worry and corner, Chase went over to Madam Dera's side, and he began patting her as he tries hard to fight the tears that's wanting to spill from his socket.Rune looks at the people before her, she closed her eyes b
Chase gave a relieved sigh as he gently stood up from beside his sleeping mate who had woken up some minutes before midnight, asking for food and plenty of water.Pregnancy hormones .. He thought with a shake of head.He gently remove her hands from his and stepped away from the big comfortable couch she had decided to sleep on.He sat down on another couch, he relaxed his aching back, he had stayed bent over, for some hours patting his mate and luring her to sleep.His mind drifted off to what had happened just before he left the palace..Chase stood at the door to the throne room, he watched as Madam Dera lead the wizard and his apprentice to their room."Chase, ain't you going home?" Garry asked as he walked towards the younger male, the Beta is fully clothed in long black robe which he always wear.Chase sighed as he leaned against the wall "I am" he said, Garry stood beside him, he turned and gave Garry a brief look "This is serious " he mumbled.Garry hummed "Hmmm" and nodded h
Few days passed ...Crescent Glove Park seems to be mourning, everyone continually went around their business with sad eyes and heavy hearts.Alpha Kaiden, for four days hasn't stepped out of his room and for those four nights, the sad and agonizing howls and cries from him were terrifying. These nights seems to be the worst nights for Crescent Glove Park cause they could feel the pain and agony behind the Alpha's howls and cries....Her legs folded on each other, her hands on her knees, she floats in the air with her eyes shut and her mouth muttering inaudibly.The door opened quietly, Garry looked around the room but saw no one, he had knocked for some minutes but no response, he had mind linked Madam Dera who told him that Rune was in her room.He turned to leave the room."Looking for me?" A voice asked which startled Garry, a rush of a non wolfish scent flooded his nostrils, he looked up to see Rune who was also looking down at him."Hmmmm.... Yes" He said quite confused, he ha
Worried eyes stared at the unconscious body of the Alpha which was laying on the couch."Ah ... hm.." Sounds escaped from the Alpha's lips as he stirred awake.Chase, Garry, and Madam Dera scurried to their seats, Kaiden sat up, his eyes were blurred with tears, and he sniffed and wiped his tears.He slowly put his hands away from his eyes as he felt relieved in his body, the pain he felt before seems to have lessened, he opened his robe and he could perceive the scent of ointment, he smelled different scent around him, he raised his head to see his best friends and nanny – his family.Tears rushed to his eyes "Prepare everything, I am leaving for the human world" he said as tears rolled down his eyes, the three rushed happily to him, and they gently engulfed him in a hug."Ahhhh" Kaiden cried, they disengaged quickly from him "Sorry, you were pressing against my injuries" he smiled faintly."Are you leaving?" Chase asked, he still had some doubts, Kaiden nodded "Really?!" He exclaime
A Week Later. Kaiden got down from his car, he looked around him as the general scent of humans filled him, he had been here a few days ago for the completion of his registration and to familiarize himself with the campus.He took his bag from the car, shut the door, and pointed the key towards the car and pressed the lock button, the lights flashed, locking the car.He started his walk to his first class.His mind drifted...Kaiden sat up from his bed, he yawned lazily, he walked to the mirror, he had only shorts on, he stared at himself in the mirror.A small smile made its way to his lips, for three days now he had been placed on bed rest by Madam Dera and the doctor."Hmmm" He hummed as he looked at his reflection, his injuries were healing up already, he had been taking medications and some herbs the Wizard had instructed his nanny to prepare for him, and for these days the strong urge to inflict injuries on himse
Just along the average-looking street, a big restaurant is situated at the right side of road , it is the biggest restaurant on that street, people come in their numbers to eat there, although the restaurant might the biggest, the interior decorations looks so old and outdated which gives it a rusty look.With a bright smile on her thin lips which made her pale face shine more brightly, she walked to the table of a man who also had a smile on his face, the name tag above her left breast pocket is 'Merry'"Sir, here is what you ordered for," Merry said, setting the tray which had several dishes down on the table, then she stood straight staring at him with her small brown orbs that seems to add more beauty to her face, a beauty she is not aware of.The man sat there like a statute, transfixed, she pushed her head out a little wondering why the man suddenly seems to become unmovable.Merry took a step forward, lowered her head to level with his face, she tapped him gently "Sir?" She cal
He stirred from his sleep, he turned to the other side of the bed because of the brightness that shone on his face, he slowly opened his eyes, he uses both hands to shield his eyes from the brightness of the morning that has invaded his room.He yawned, sat up, and stretched, he got up from his bed and stretched again, his eyes landed on the alarm clock that stood on his nightstand and his eyes widen."What!" Kaiden yelled in surprise as he grabbed the alarm clock, he couldn't believe what he was seeing, the time indicated thirty minutes past eleven in the morning, he blinked, a small smile, first of all, crawled up his lips, slowly this small smile turned into a big one and finally into a grin."Yes!" He exclaimed happily, fisting his fingers.It happened again.This would be the tenth day he has been in the human world and has slept soundly, the first time he had woken up at nine in the morning but now...He grinned all the more.'Seems coming to the human world was a great idea!'
