“When I was at the river, the other day, when I closed my eyes, I saw a man. He looked exceptional like nothing I have ever seen. Who was he?” I asked the wizard.“He is the one made for you.” He paused and continued. “That's all the moon goddess wants you to know.” He nodded feeling satisfied that he delivered his news.I was sad and disappointed. This wasn't what I expected at all.“What next move should I take in order to find my father's clan?”“I have already given you all the information you should know. It's totally up to you to decide what you want to do or how you want to go about it.” He answered me.How was I going to find this man in my imagination? According to Geston, he is the one made for me and I must find him to be able to reach my full potential in my search to discover my full identity.“Can I know his name?” I asked.“That's all you need to know.” He stated, not saying anything further.I believe he was trying to dismiss me when he told me that. I wanted to know s
The festival of fire was successful and fun.Everyone was allowed to play fun games and make new friends. Laura introduced me to some of her friends who had lived in this clan all their lives. They were all nice to me.I had adapted to this type of life where unlike my life in the Palace, I had to wake up very early and most times it was not voluntarily. Here, I had to go hunting with the men to hunt for food even though women didn't ordinarily go hunting.It all happened because I had the skills and so I went hunting with the men. The king had me in great esteem and called me special. I didn't know if going hunting as a woman was special but I did know that I enjoyed being here and never regretted it for one day.The king believed that I had brought favor upon the clan and that the town would prosper because I was here. I didn't know why he said those words but he believed them so I might as well.The people of Stormclaw were my family now and I wouldn't let anything hurt them, not i
“Wake up! Wake up!” Someone tapped me. “What's going on?” I opened my sleepy eyes to see Mascot who looked shocked to the bone. My eyes were still fixated on him. “What happened? Has the rain stopped?” I asked but I got no response. Rather, he made strange movements with his eyes. I could literally see fear in his eyes. “What is wrong?” I sat up slowly and that was when I noticed a presence behind me. I turned sharply. “Whooo.” “Who are you?” I asked the little boy who was simply gazing at me. I looked at Mascot who only shook his head. “I'm supposed to be asking you two that. This is my house, so who are you?” “My name is Naomi and he is Mascot.” I introduced us to the little boy. He wasn't so much but he was cute. “Why do you live alone here?” “This has been my house for such a long time.” He was quick to answer. “Why are you guys here?” He asked. I could notice how smart he was but I was scared for him. “You live alone? Where are Your parents?” “I don't know where they
The woman with white hair talked more.“You're welcome. My name is Diane and I'm glad to welcome you here.” She bowed. “We have waited for so long.”“Waited? Who have you waited for?”“They have been waiting for the person whom they were foretold. Someone who would bring back the dignity of the calm.”“Is that me?” I asked.The guys stared at me, likely wondering why I didn’t get the idea of what was happening.“Please sit down.” Diane offered a seat to me. “Let's bring you some food.”We were ushered in. The environment wasn't the most beautiful place but it was still suitable for people to live.“This must be your husband and your son.” I received stares from the women there. Diane was asking me.“No, no. They're my friends.” I chuckled, not sure if I could refer to the strange boy whom I didn't even now his name as my friend.“Oh wow. You all are welcomed.” She bowed as she greeted again.It made me wonder how respectful they were taught to be. She looked old but she was insightful
“Just tell me who it was.” I asked Diane, coming back from my recollection. “I want to know.”“The truth is that I couldn't see the killer's face but people, after the massacre that night, insisted that it was Alpha-king Magnus who attacked the clan and killed your father.”Was it truly him? Did Alpha-king Magnus kill my father? Was he the one with the tatto that had shot my father that fateful night? It was indeed a sad day for me so I would always celebrate my father every 4th April.It took me years to finally adjust to Palace life and live with the girls. It seemed my mother wanted to be taken away from her husband's land to a new environment. She kept saying that she was looking out for me when she made that decision but I still had my doubts about it. How could she had forgotten about my father so quickly?I wanted to forget it too because it haunted me when I remembered it but I just couldn't. I felt guilty each time I decided that it was all in my past and should be left ther
I felt glad about Laura and Mascot. Whatever I felt I had noticed about Mascot was all a lie now. He had a fiancee he would never cheat on.I went into my chambers to have some rest. It was indeed a hectic day and I was so exhausted. My back ached but I could only take medications.At this point, I wondered where the love ofmy life was. After all, Laura and Mascot were my age mates and they found love. Why could I not find mine?I let it go because it wasn't in my agenda to find love here. I didn't leave ice crest pack for this place just to find love. If I had wanted to get married, I would have done that with Lucas.I occasionally thought about Lucas and the offer he made to me. That man wanted to marry me because of what he would gain from me. It was totally embarrassing but I learnt it the hard way and I hope life was being unfair to him.I laid down on my bed as I reminisced about what had happened today. Was it all my destiny. Was I meant to have met Chad? It wasn't mere coinci
“How about you?” I asked him sharply before he could think of another question to ask me.“Well, I was born and brought up here. I'm a hunter too.” He said and I became glad. He could teach me how to hunt too.“You could teach me.” I responded and he didn't say a word.“I have to go.” He announced.“Now? So soon?” I couldn't let him hear how desperate I was for him to stay.“Yes, I guess we’ll be seeing each other.” He responded, winked at me and left.“Thanks for the orange juice.” I screamed after him.“You're welcome.” He screamed back. It was like those times in the movie when a woman would fall in love with a man. It was like a fairytale and I loved it.“I knew you would be here.”I turned sharply to see Laura standing behind me with her hands akimbo.“You found me.” I laughed, though unhappy that she did.“Yes. I did.” She sat beside me exactly at the same spot, Thorne had sat. “You weren't in your room and whenever you aren't in your room, I know you are here.”“I'm I really th
“What is wrong with you?” I questioned Mascot myself when I had met him in one of our training sessions.“Hi, Naomi.” He seemed so excited to meet me.“What's up with you?” I asked again and I could see his countenance change. He had been asked to teach the younger ones since he was much more experienced than them.“I don't understand what you mean.” He gazed at me, mouth agape.“You do understand me, you don't just want to admit it.” I told him, then left.I was really pained when Laura told me about her relationship with Mascot. Who wants to be treated like trash? I was sincerely upset with him and I needed an explanation. According to Laura, he was not the lovey dovey kind of person, but he always showed that he cared. Now, he doesn't even like talking to her, much more sitting with her. Mascot was a great help to me but I don't like the way he handles and treats Laura.Laura had told me that he would pick offense if I mentioned that to him but I knew I had to talk to him about i
