There have been several times when Cyrus has requested the presence of the chief priest in his bedroom or anywhere else. And even though the chief priest had shown up timely on all occasions, there wasn't any occasion where the chief priest was as fast as this time.In less than ten minutes after his order, both Sule and the chief priest were back in Cyrus’s bedroom.Cyrus was standing with his eyes looking down on the table where the blade was as he tried to imagine what exactly was going on. He had known for years that the silver lake kingdom was trying to get back with the Lakewood kingdom but their barn was a permanent one and no king in his right senses would have allowed it.So as Darius stared at the knife, he wondered why Darius had even granted his audience to King Barroc.Cyrus considered calling Darius as well, he was to answer for what had happened with the weird king and those were the first words out of Cyrus’s mouth the mo

Darius and his Beta, Adolf, were out riding away from the kingdom. Darius had left Emelda’s room with a strong determination to bring her a cure from the weird king but before he left, he had asked his most trusted person on earth, Adolf, to go with him.And without any pause, Adolf had jumped on his horse and had joined his friend in a ride away from Lakewood and to Silverlake.Silver lake was a far distance from Lakewood and it was going to take them the whole day before they could reach it. But Darius didn't mind and neither did Adolf.The friends had been riding for six straight hours when they found a small stream and Darius suggested that they take a break. The sun was already about to set but that wasn't going to stop Darius, he had every intention of riding through the nights, he wasn't going to stop till he got to Silverlake but the horses needed some food and some water and so, Darius and Adolf took a short break at the bank of the river wher

After a long ride, Darius and Adolf finally arrived at Silver Lake and they went straight to the palace where they were greeted at the gates by three mean-looking guards. The guards did not move an inch nor did they acknowledge the entrance of the Alpha of the Lakewood moon pack nor his beta. Darius immediately sprung off from his horse and so did Adolf as they walked up the stairs into the palace.For some reason, Adolf had expected the guard to stop them but to his surprise, none of the guards made a move at them nor did they even flinch as Darius climbed up the stairs. Unlike Darius, Adolf was a little bit hesitant in climbing, and he took several looks at his back as if he was expecting someone to spring on him. But no one did and then finally, he followed the steps of his Alpha.At the back of his mind, Adolf wondered about what could be happening back at Lakewood. They hadn't told anyone about their short and impromptu trip to Silver Lake and Adolf co

Adolf’s expression of unbelieve was more intense than Darius’s own. Adolf didn't know everything that was going on but Darius had already told him a part of it.And one thing that Adolf could identify with currently was that he didn't trust the weird king at all, not even for a second.And Darius was beginning to feel the same way. Darius was struggling to admit it but something was telling him that the weird king had played on his intelligence and that there had always been a secret agenda the whole time.“Why do you want Gedoni and Tobias?” Darius demanded. The request was insane and Darius hadn't ever guessed that the weird king would have anything to do with his treacherous uncle or with Tobias.“That is for me alone, I do not have to tell you why I want them. But that is the request, I will hand over the cure the minute you deliver Tobias and Gedoni to me,” The weird king said as he tucked the cure into his pocket.

“What exactly do you mean by that?” Lucius charged at his brother, “how can you say you did it for us? Emelda’s life is hanging by a thread because of your actions,” Lucius sprawled as he pushed his twin brother with both hands.Darius staggered backward and then he bounced back in anger as if he was ready to fight his twin brother.“ENOUGH,” Cyrus managed to scream and his voice vibrated around his bedroom. It was surprising but no one said anything at the time because Cyrus, whose voice was already lost, had somehow managed to scream loud enough that he got everyone’s attention.“You two will comport yourselves while in my presence we have a serious matter at hand, an enemy has infiltrated our kingdom and I will not stand by to see you two bickering like idiots,” Cyrus spat.Lucius took two steps back but his eyes didn't leave Darius as he walked away.Silence followed and it was at that t
