Two more days had passed like a blink of an eye. The day that everything was meant to go down had finally come. It was either Ruckus went down or his father , the alpha king went down, whichever the case may be, one of them will have to go down. The first day of the full moon had finally arrived. However, they still had so many hours to go through before it was night. Within those hours, there would be no limit to the things that could happen. Ruckus lay on his bed with his eyes shut. Beside him was a woman who he had tried to use to ease off the tensions that were leveled in his heart. While the lady slept so soundly, Ruckus was not able to get a nap. Out of the tension and anxiety he felt, he had sought the comfort of a woman. Jael was not anywhere close to him. In fact, she was behind bars, struggling to retain the life that the alpha king had not stopped trying to snuff out of her. The last time Ruckus got information regarding how she was faring in the cell, he was pierced right
Hours passed like they were seconds. In what would be called a jiffy, the night had fallen. It felt like an eclipse. Just a couple of moments ago, Ruckus was in his room , merely waking to see the annoying creature that lay by his side. That lady was probably the worst choice he had ever made through the whole day. She had ruined his morning until Badmus arrived and presented him with the note that Jael had sent to him. This had given him better reasons to not yield . Even if he had wanted to, he would not . At least, there was someone else, who though behind bars, was still cheering for him to rise to the throne. He was dressed already. He tried to look his best for the party. It was his father's birthday celebration. Not like he had worn any special dress. Just the normal royal dress meant for him. He would wear it to the party. Strolling to the window, he slid the curtains and stared for a good while. The night was already busy. The hustles and bustle were all high up in the night
Badmus stuck to the plan. He knew exactly what he had been told to do. His job for tonight was not to be with lord Ruckus. Lord Ruckus would do just fine on his own. The main focus for him was Jael. The woman that had the heart of the one he served in her hands. Protecting her was equivalent to protecting Lord Ruckus. While the party was getting set and taking a grander style and fashion, he was so many meters away from the royal hall where the ceremony was being held. Here he was, positioned very well in the perimeters of the prison . What he was just waiting for was the appointed time when Jael would be taken out of the prison to a place where it would be more secure to have her. But then, time was fast elapsing. Yet there was not even a single trace of Jael. There was no movement that could arouse suspicion. " What is going on?" He muttered to himself. " I don't think Jael is in danger from the way the whole place looks. He was with one guard. Just one person. He knew that gather
Through the window of Sophia's room, the rays of the full moon could make their way to her eyes. She had purposely left it open to feel the warmth that came from it. The brightness of the moon was very luring. She lay on her bed with every part of her body well covered under the duvet except her face. Her eyes were shut and she was asleep. Not totally asleep but partly conscious of what was going on around her. Soon enough, the warmth of the duvet began to drive her into real sleep. For a reason she could not seem to come up with any sort of explanations to, every moment she had spent staring at the full moon served as a reminder of the red moon pack. There was a pull. A sort of voice that was drawing her back to her pack. But for what reason?She had no explanations for them. She lay on her bed , deep in sleep when the voices began to replay in her thoughts again. " The weed." She was discussing the weed with her mother this time. She had gone to tell her mother about the teachin
At the open field where the event was taking place , the crowd had been expecting to see the alpha king. But he was just not coming around. No one had seen him since the event started. There were a good number of fires that had full fledged meats roasting on them. The merriment was going on. The moon goddess was done with other people. She was now patiently waiting for the alpha king to show up , that is if he had intentions to do that. She had an overall gown that was made of two colors; red and black colors. The two colors ran vertically through the gown , dividing the gown into two different parts like it was some sort of flag . Her hair was well weaved and decorated with very big beads and certain kinds of ribbons that gave her a mysterious look . Her eyes had black markings below them. Her look was that of a serious woman. Anyway, she was serious , just like the office that she occupied in the pack. Being a moon goddess was more than anyone could just think about. She stood on t
Sophia and Vieira were getting closer to the field. From where they were at the moment, they could see the smoke coming from the fire. Just one thing was odd to Sophia. When she was lying down on the bed, she could hear the chants and shouts of so many voices that seemed to be very happy at the event. But then, it appeared to be the opposite of it that was happening right now. The closer they got, the more silent the whole place seemed to get. That was odd, highly odd. " Vieira. " She said. " Yes. " Vieira responded with his gait still remaining straight and his gaze still focused straight on the road. His legs were moving at a constant pace that Sophia could tell came from his training as a guard in the pack. " How long have you known him?" " You mean Derek." " Yes, I mean him. " " Well, I can't even say . I don't know anything about that."" I don't understand. About what?"" I mean keeping the dates I met with people. All I can say is that I have really spent a good number of
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
