The court room was filled already as it was always on meeting date. The members of the council had filled up the entire place. However, the atmosphere was not as it has always been. There were no unnecessary murmurs or chatters. What had happened the previous time was enough reason for everyone to learn to keep their mouths shut. No one would dare talk or mutter any word that would be against the alpha king. Eyes kept on flashing in the direction of both possible entrances and exits. Fear was the language of the day. The meeting was scheduled to be held two days ago. But then, the alpha king decided to cancel it out entirely. He had aborted the meeting on purpose. Deep down in him, he did not have a single plan to let Sophia go. Though he was yet to figure out all that there was to her existence, he still wanted to keep her. The words she had said to him two days ago never stopped echoing in his thoughts. The warm embrace that they had both enjoyed before his right hand man decided to
The whole court was still in a state of pause. The red beauty took slow but calculated steps towards the center of the court. That was where the alpha king , Derek, was standing . Neither Vieira nor Derek could recognize the person coming. A long red gown that was an exact fit of the lady's body, displaying the splendor of her elegance as a woman. Her steps looked so powerful that they could subdue anyone. Or maybe it was the charm of her beauty. No one was making a move. The guards were all standing at a place , moping like morons. In fact, at the current situation of the matter, everyone was a moron, including Derek himself. " Oh my.." Vieira muttered . Sophia too was shocked at the way all of them were staring at her. From the very moment she arrived outside the court, everyone began to treat her with so much respect like she had more place in their hearts than the alpha. They probably thought of her to be the visitor of the alpha king. One had told her that she can go in, that t
Derek found himself breathing very heavily. His feet did not stop moving back. His hands clutched his head . He was beginning to pant. It was very obvious right now. The alpha king was losing his control again. But why? What is going on? He is losing it again. Who is that man? The whole court had been torn apart by curiosity. Not just curiosity but fear. Fear had started to take over the entire atmosphere. They all knew what it would be like for them to remain there when the alpha king would lose the remaining part of himself and shift completely. The memory of what had happened just recently began to flood the thoughts of everyone and panic started to take over. " Your majesty. " Vieira called in a low tone, taking a few steps closer to him. But Derek did not respond to him. The alpha king was holding his head tightly and screaming. " What is wrong with him? " Sophia asked. " What is going on right now?" " I have no idea . " Vieira replied. " Damn it!!" Sophia cursed under h
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
