The partyThe party was already in full swing when Maugrim came arrived at the castle with up to ten of his soldiers, including Nate and his deputy included.Amarog was seated on the head of the long table that had been filled up with different assorted meals while Kasla sat beside him.At the opposite end of the table, a seat was kept for Maugrim as befitting his stature.I was seated with Hera on the left side of Maugrim's chair and Kimi and Lucian had taken the seat next to Maugrim's chair on the right.Theo had made sure he sat next to Kimi, his infatuation with her still intact, while Fyr and Theo took the chairs next to their mother.Before Maugrim arrived, Lucian and Kimi had provided us with laughter, making the mood if the hall boisterous. Lucian has been finding it difficult to bat him away and we have been laughing at him. Kimi had joined in the fun by flirting with Theo, further pushing Lucian to the brink of violence against his brother.Kimi had then taken pity on her bel
Shocking meetingsTy's and I stayed indoors two days after the party, exploring our bodies and just stopping for rest and to eat.The others left us alone to ourselves. Lucian and Kimi didn't even notice us as they were too busy with each other too.Maugrim had gone back to his tent and was preparing to follow us to Texas.We are all following Ty's to his home today, all including Maugrim, Lucian, Kimi, and me.Theo and Fyr wanted to come along but father forbade them to leave their duties to follow us on 'an adventure' . That is what they both called it.As we finished packing, Lucian and Kimi knocked on our door."Ty's, Hera? we are ready" Kimi called."We are coming" I called back and hurried Ty's who was still busy tying his shoelace.We set out, ten minutes later.Father and mother were waiting at the castle gate for us. Mother was weeping, while father was caressing her hair, trying to console her."Oh my babies" mother said, as she saw us, opening her arms wide for us to go into
Forgiveness abound"Maugrim? is that you?" my mother asked, her whole body vibrating with shock."Yes, Nymeria, it's me...long time no see" Maugrim replied, with all the love he had for her shinning in his eyes. "Oh my god" Mother exclaimed and she and Maugrim locked eyes for a long while, it was very obvious that they were still in love.Thane and my other siblings looked on at the spectacle with fascination mixed with horror. Except Akela of course, she had probably seen everything already in her visions.Beowulf, growled, he had a look of hatred in his eyes for Maugrim and I felt like punching him on the face.This man made my mother unhappy countless times and now that she is about to find her happiness, he wants to spoil it."Shut up, Beowulf!" My mother shouted, her eyes blazing with rage at Beowulf. I almost cheered for her."Thane, where are the mountain men? what's happening here?" Beowulf boomed"Tys vanquished them all...in one minute, father... Our enemies from the mountai
Happy endingsThe night before had been a fun filled one for everyone involved.They had had a little get together where everybody had finally unwinded. Even the pack members were not left behind. They all came to pay homage to Tys and stare shyly at his beautiful mate.Maugrim and Nymeria had stayed together throughout, rekindling their love for each other.Beowulf had enjoyed playing host, he had announced that he would be leaving soon to travel all around the world and had joked that who knows he might find love. Everyone had laughed. They all joked that, he would find a woman everywhere he went, jokingly testifying to his randiness.Beowulf and Tys had a long father to son talk which brought about a form of closeness between them and making Tys eventually admitting eagerly to having two fathers which made everyone laugh.The night had ended on a note of happiness for everybody when Tys proposed formally to Hera.All the female pack members swooned with jealousy when Tys knelt down
* APPRECIATION TO MY READERS*Hey lovelies♥️♥️ thank you so much for adding this book to your libraries. I promise you, you won't regret it. I hope you enjoy reading it even more than I enjoyed writing it and please do not forget to follow me and write a comment, it would encourage me to write more and better.Thank you so much, once again. A grave decisionIt was a cool evening, I walked through the bushes at the back of my home, my destination was the lake where I always swam in since I was a child. I always came here when I wanted to be away from my family and alone with my thoughts.I got to the lake, stripped off and jumped in. I swam for an hour and came out, and then sat on a log at the bank of the lake, throwing rocks at the water. Doing this helps me process my thoughts. The swim had done nothing to calm my frayed nerves.I was not in the right state of mind. In fact I was quite angry and very unhappy.Early in the afternoon, I had come back on an errand my father sent me o
A family affairI stood impatiIently waiting at the entrance of the tunnel for my twin brother, Lucian and his lover to finish whatever it is they were doing. I was worried for my twin. I have been watching him for weeks now, and I knew he would soon be in deep shit, what the shit would be, I do not know yet.Lucian has been sneaking out of the castle for a dangerous meeting with the daughter of our father's oldest enemy, Maugrim at her father's castle. While I was not one to discourage a tryst, as I was a believer in dangerous excitements myself, I wouldn't encourage one with the daughter of the feared Maugrim. I have no idea why Lucian would choose to play with his life like this. I fear for him, I could see that he was falling in love with her, and I knew that it could not end well. I would have told my mother if not for the fact that Lucian made me swear on my life that I would not breathe a word of it out to anyone. And what choice do I have? I was the keeper of his secrets,
An unwelcome visitI have been traveling for two days now, avoiding crowded places, because I know word would have passed around that the Alpha's misfit son has been banished. Definitely, members of other werewolf packs might consider me easy picking, especially rogue werewolves who might want to attack me for fun. There is a particular rogue werewolf who I expect to come looking for trouble, his name is Brutus. He was a member of my father's pack ten years ago but he was banished after it was revealed that he was murdering innocent humans for fun. Since then, he has borne a keen hatred for my father and anything that has to do with him, me especially. when he had been a member of our pack, he had hated me and found ways to be cruel to me. He once bit me during a full moon and blamed it on the effect of the change. My father had turned a blind eye to that. Now that he was no longer under any alpha, he was free to do as he please, including killing me if he so wishes.Not that I wa
The rescueWe have been on the road for almost a full day now. Though we are vampires and most vampires can teleport, our gifts are somewhat limited in a way. We cannot teleport to a place where we have never been. Our destination is New York City and we have never been there, so we walked. We grew up in a coven in Pittsburgh, we have never been away from the family,so this is our first time to get a look at the outside world and I'm really happy about that, though I can't say the same about Lucian. He has been very moody and sad since we left, because he is missing Kimi. He has also been giving me the silent treatment because he blamed me for Kimi not coming.When we had left the castle at dawn, he had insisted on seeing her before we started our journey.We had gone to her father's castle even though it had been very dangerous to do so. He had communicated to her about his banishment. My brother and I have the power of telepathy, and Kimi shares the power because she has shared Luci
