A couple of days had passed since Ruckus slashed the life out of his father's throat. The dude was basically sitting on the head of every fellow that was in the pack. So much respect was given to him, if not fear. People now feared him more than they feared his father. The members of the council had greater fear than the people who were assumed to be very common. No one had expected the type of string he had pulled. On purpose, he had leaked the plan of him having to poison the drink of his father simply to get him to hear it. It was a bait , a good enough bait which the old geezer had bitten. It eventually drove him to a forced death. Ruckus stood in his chamber, seated on the throne he had built for himself without having to feel the urge to sit on a real throne. He knew that eventually, he was going to sit on the throne, the real throne. In fact, the throne he now sat on could be termed real now. After all, he was the alpha king now, though not officially made alpha king. But it wa
The day at the dead valley pack was full of tension. It had been like that for the past couple of days. After the incident that happened after Sophia was named the Luna of the pack, there had been so many talks and murmurs about it. But that was not the problem of Derek. All he really wanted was for his Luna, Sophia, to get up from the bed where she lay. Seeing her lying down again was like having a dagger being pierced through his heart. It hurt him so badly. The thought of the number of times that she had had to go through pain all because of him was just heavily impinging on his thoughts. But at the same time, he was troubled, troubled at the word that Sophia had let out of her mouth. " Mom." That was it. No matter how much he had to think and think about it, it still did not make any proper sense to him. Why would she call that woman her mom? It had to be for no other reason. Perhaps, the pain that coursed through her body had affected her thoughts at that particular point in t
Sophia was still lying down. In her thoughts, another shard of her memory was playing out clearly. She had been in the alpha king's chamber of the red moon pack. With her was the lady she did not know but now knows. It was the same lady that had come to her in the pack after she had met with the vicious father of Lord Ruckus, the then alpha king, who had tried to recognize her identity . When she had escaped through the hidden route, they had ended up through one of those routes in the hidden path to come outside the borders of the red moon pack. Not just were they out of the borders of the red moon pack, but that they had walked into a chamber where she had met with the supposed Luna of the pack. That pack was the dead valley pack. " Urgh. " She winced in pain . Her head hurt like it was eventually going to fall.off. Her thoughts jumped through time to a point when she had ended up in the woods with the lady who had helped her to escape the danger that lurked at home. " Are you sa
Days had passed already. Ruckus was no longer addressed as lord Ruckus but now called alpha King Ruckus. The sudden change in the way people addressed him was mor3 reason for him to be healthier with every moment of his life that passed. About four days ago, the remaining things that he needed were moved from his former chamber to his current place which was the chamber for an alpha king. In his thoughts, he yearned to really move the chamber to somewhere else. It was fitting for his ego to spend his moments of rest in a chamber that had been used over and over again by other alpha kings. The packs always held a common ideology about ancient things. Like it's believed with the ancient look of the tomb that upholding the ancient stuff ensured purity . All those were gibberish in his sight. They made no sense to him. The pack had modern things but many people were bent on using the ancient ways . This made him angry. It was very irritating to think of such things. First, he had given th
After the incident days ago that pushed Sophia to the truth of her past, her world had become a total mess. Here she was, locked up in the room she had always occupied in the house of the healer. No one had locked her. She did it herself. She had completely blocked everyone out with no intentions to let a single person in. For the past couple of days, she had been a shadow of herself. Her world , she knew, was spinning but there was no one to stop it. The thought that her father had been in the same pack with her all this while was troubling her. It was too much to hear. He had seen the man at the point of death. His words never stopped echoing in her head. How could it have happened this way? Fate was cruel to her. Extremely cruel to her . Throughout her life, it has always been from one problem to the other. Just the little while she had had to be happy , her fate ruined it completely. The very alpha king she had gladly accepted to be her mate was the person that put an end to the l
Hours had passed away in the red moon pack. It was already the evening hours . Darkness had begun ti crawl into the spaces that were all around. The atmosphere of the entire pack was filled with tension. There had to be only two people in the entirety of the pack who were relaxed at the whole turn of events . Those two had to be the ruthless alpha king Ruckus and his beloved Luna, Jael. They had both turned out to be villains . Not that it surprised everyone entirely . But no one was willing to accept something of that sort without blinking an eye. Ruckus was someone the whole pack had love for. Even though it was not as obvious as was expected but they still had a little space in their heart for him to stay. A lot of them had gossiped in his favor regàrding the way the previous alpha king who was his stger had treated him. Jael too was a part of the people. How could she have thrown away all her memories with them.so suddenly? That was absurd and literally bad . The way she sat down
In the woods, Badmus strode as fast as he could. But it was nit actually the same case for Sophia who was merely managing to push her body. She strode too. But then, there was no damn way in this life that one would have to compare the strength of someone in her state , that is if there was a strength left, to that of someone in the state of Badmus. There were never the same. The thought of Badmus was so heavy that he had forgotten the fact that there was someone trying so hard to keep up pace with him. His feet were just moving without him having to make any much efforts . They were just striding through the wood. His focus was on the destination that was ahead of them. He was taking Chloe to the border of the red moon pack. If they could get there without being caught, then he would rest assured of the fact Chloe was going to be alright. If not alright, he would know he had a little to worry about, probably himself. " Are you not walking too fast ?" Chloe asked. " No one is followi
Derek had still not gotten the courage he needed to face Sophia. Nadia had made it more complicated than it needed to be. If he fails to win Sophia, then she was going to return and knock at the door of his heart. That was an open declaration of her supposed visit if his moves went south with Sophia. He needed to do it right this time. Nadia was right , after all. It was his visit that led to Sophia locking up herself in the room. It needed to be his visit that would be able to would get her out of the room where she had locked herself. What the case was, it required him to pay her a visit. He was seated on the couch with eyes flashing through the bottles that he had emptied. That was quite absurd of him to have done something of that sort. It definitely meant that the feelings he had fir Sophia was really great. This made him to even wonder more. Between Nadia and Sophia, who did he love more during their times in his life? When Nadia had left him, he was devastated. He felt like he
