'Oh Goddess can someone please tell us what is going on?' Aura voice out my mind.
"I'm here now Alexa." He pats her back trying to calm her down.
"That's the thing brother, you are here but he is not. He is no longer with us." She was hysteric to the point of finding it hard to breathe.
Her attitude and what she was saying got me confused the more on what was going on. It made me wonder who it was that was in the ICU and apparently the said person just passed away.
My mate looked at Prince Brice who was standing not too far from us looking sombre, "Where is mother?"
This is the worst way I've seen Prince Brice. He looked so roughened up and unkempt. There were bloodstains on his shirt.
Grieff-stricken, he looked at the door in front of him, "She's in there with him. I...I'm sorry bro... I couldn't... I...It happened so suddenly...B... by the time we realized w..what was happening, they have already done a lot of
He looked straight at me, took out a pen, and started writing on the book in front of him on the table, "keep your friends close and your enemy closer. The enemy lives among us, be cautious and be prepared for the worst. This is only the beginning, the worse is yet to come..." He was still writing when the door to the inner room opened and in comes a cloaked figure. This one was human or rather a werewolf but surely not a Changeling and looking closely at the figure, I could not see the face but the way it walks tells me the person is a female. I squint my eyes to try and see who the person was but couldn't. Even when the person came closer to the king, I couldn't see the face because I was standing at the side but he could, since he was directly before her. With the surprised expression on the King's face, I knew the person was one that the King was in close and constant contact with. Leaning back on his chair different emotions crossed h
"Lay down back. You need all the rest you can get now and tomorrow we commence your training as planned." I was surprised to hear her say this. I mean the King, her mate, just died a few hours ago which should leave her in a state of deep anguish and shouldn't even be able to think of anything but to mourn the loss of her mate, and despite that, here she is saying to me that we will commence our training right after what just happened. Taking a look at her, I try to gauge if she's in the right state of mind. It is commonly known that when one loses their other half, they tend to snap and go crazy leading them to do all sorts of crazy things. There have been several accounts of how the partners of the dead went on a rampage killing and destroying anyone or anything that cross their part and how the pack had no choice but to end their lives. Being a royal makes it worse. There have only been a very few cases that didn't go on a rampage
I guess I just have to. The earlier I start the faster I'm put to my grave. I gave out one last sigh before I started by jogging the first few meters then gradually increasing my pace. Few rounds later and it was as though my legs would give way and I would collapse any minute soon. At one point I noticed that Alexa had joined the queen where she was standing under the shed of a tree, my eyes locked with her and I saw a glimmer of worry across her face as I averted my eyes away from hers and continued my rounds. I kept pushing and dragging my body telling myself it was for my good. I also encouraged myself by playing the scene of what happened to the King in his library and his words also. Reminding myself that there are lives that depend on me and for me to keep them safe I need this training now more than ever. This motivated me and gave me the strength to push on. I lost track of time and how many rounds I had run at some point. S
This time around, the running came easy to me and felt energized the more I run instead of the other way round. Running this time around felt as though I was gliding instead. It was as if the air around me were the one doing most of the work. Finding it difficult to explain properly, as I run I felt the air around me gather and assisted me in easily running. As I said, I don't have a way to explain it. The more I ran the faster I became and before I knew it, I was running faster than human imagination. This left me bewildered. I understood that because of my abilities I have the privilege to do things more than what an average werewolf can do. In a blink of an eye, I have completed the fifty rounds but still kept running as I enjoyed the feel of the air around me. Still running, I glance at the Queen and saw that Alexa was already with her and noticed the way they were both looking at me. Their e
This shouldn't be difficult to do since I've done it before on two different occasions. There must be something that is not adding up somewhere. There must be something that I'm not doing that I'm supposed to do. Puffing out some air from my mouth, I raise my head to the sky and noticed how beautiful it was. The stars were out, shining brightly giving out a sense of peaceful scenery. I gave a short sign and wish I had the privilege to do some sight gazing but knew I didn't. I look around me and saw that the Queen has left and Alexa was just ahead of me leaving as well. I jug to catch up to her, "Hey, Alexa wait up." She stopped on her track and waited for me to join her before she resumed walking. "I didn't see you guys leave." "Yeah. I tried getting your attention but you were deep in thought and mother said I should let you be and left. I stayed a little bit to stare at the sky with you before deciding also to leave."
I looked around once more to see if we were truly being followed and when I looked behind us, I saw some men dressed in black following us at a distance. I looked at their faces and could not associate them with the ones I know and their clothing left little information that I could use to identify them. I held Alexa's hand to get her attention, "Alexa don't look but we are being followed." Her eyes widen hearing this, "Are you sure? where?" She became frenzied as she looks around squeezing the hell out of my hand. I place my other hand on hers to try and reduce the tension of her hold on my hand, "Calm down and keep it down Alexa, don't let them know we already found out about them." I made sure we kept walking not to give ourselves away. Taking in deep breaths, "Okay...okay I'm calm. Tell me where they are." She whispered. Trying to stay calm myself, "behind us, a few distances from us. If you want to look at them do it discretel
HE walks towards us in hurried steps and grabs me in his hands. "What took you guys so long. I was getting worried." Alexa shook her head and gave a short laugh, "I never knew I will live up to the day that you, brother, will become worrisome. Rest assured nothing happened we only took the long route walking here and I'm sure your guards have informed you of this already when you asked them earlier." She walked forward and patted him on his arm then turned to where Rye was standing not too far from us with his hands folded behind his back whose attention was on Alexa. he was looking at her as though she was the center of his world. Like she was the only existing creature at the moment. His look was more like the way my mate looks at me. I looked at Alexa and saw that her expression was filled with admiration and forgot totally that my mate and I were there standing as she walks like a seductress to his front hugging him tightly.
Not able to take her silence much longer, "Lore, what's going on here? I asked you a question, a very simple question for that matter that is very easy for you to answer. Why are you not answering it? Do I need to command you to answer before you do?" I chipped in that last question just to make her answer me. Bowing deeply at me, "Y...Your highness, forgive me. I...S...she...was taken by the Crown Prince guard at the wee hours and has yet been released since then." I was surprised by her response. 'I guess we are right. There has been an occurrence that we had no idea about which we need to find out about' Aura's interest piqued up at this. I can't deny mine isn't as well. I take a few steps towards her and stopped directly in front of her. "Why was she taken Lore?" Looking left and right as though what she was about to tell me next was a secret, she took a step forward, "She wa
