Derek was shocked. His eyes had dilated. Though the pack she had just made mention of was not in very good terms with the dead valley pack, he had more reasons to be surprised. She just says that she was the daughter of the alpha king. How possible was that? Who was she really? How could the daughter of an alpha king possibly be the outcast of the pack just as she had claimed? It definitely had no strand of sense attached to it. Or was she lying to them all along? Could she really be the spy he had earlier on thought her to be? His head was a mess. Thoughts jumbled through him. Or maybe the alpha king had no idea Sophia was his daughter. Whichever case, he had to confirm his curiosity right away. " Red moon pack?" He asked. Sophia nodded. " Yes. The red moon pack. " Are you certain about that? You are really positive that it is no other pack. It has to be the red moon." " I can understand that this pack is not really a fan of the red moon. But I don't think I can change that fact.

A couple of moments later, the healer was alone in the room with Sophia. The young lady was still lying down on the bed with no signs of getting up. The healer sat beside her on the bed doing nothing. She thought of the way the alpha king had questioned her for asking the question that she asked. If not that she was already an elderly person in the line of werewolves, she probably would have stuttered and given herself away so easily. Derek was no ordinary person. Had it been that it were not her kind of person, the man would have definitely had his way without any stress. Keeping the rhythm of her heartbeat was a trick she learnt very long ago, when she was still young. Now, she was of age. Certain things were not difficult to do now. Derek had tried his best to get the slightest hint of aloe in the words that she had said not long ago. But he failed. He was not able to find any damn thing about her. " Sophia. " She muttered to herself. " You need to wake up soon. We have things tha

The casting of ballots was a system of voting that was only used once through the reign of an alpha king. This was an exclusive right the members of the council could exercise at any point in time. However, they had that right to be used just once. No one could say how or when the rule came into place but it was a common thing to note that the system had been used for years of the existence of the pack. It was a way of bringing down the alpha that was in power. In a situation where the members of the council seem to feel too displeased with the reigning alpha and we're unable to bring him to their feet, the strategy was always employed. In fact, it had been used to tear down the reign of a good number of alpha kings as can be accounted for by the records . Every powerful alpha that rose to the throne always did all they could to bring down the system. But it was always brought to nothing. Derek never imagined something like this would even come up. Besides, he felt that he was already

When Ruckus arrived at the chamber of his father, the alpha king, what his eyes saw had to be the opposite of what was at his own chamber. There were more guards loitering around the whole place. For a moment, he stopped, gazing at what was before him. What did the alpha king have in mind? At least, for someone like him, the alpha king needed that number of people to be able to pull him down. There was no doubt that Ruckus was one of the strongest werewolves to grace the pack. Maybe his father was impatient enough and was now willing to drag him into the ditch. " Badmus. " " Yes, lord Ruckus. " " What do you think this could mean?" " I have no idea. I was going to ask you the same question. " Ruckus eyed him. " What do you mean by that? You were going to ask me the same question? You have been moving around. You should know better than I what this number of people are doing here. " " Lord Ruckus, " Badmus moved his mouth closer to his ear and said in a whisper," I think your fa

For a good while, Sophia did not say anything. She was rather confused as to what was going on. The way Vieira had left seemed very strange like he was up to something. " Why are you surprised?" Derek asked her. Sophia turned to him . " Why should I not be? Did you let both of them go? If I may ask, what is the reason for that?"Derek giggled faintly. " What are you thinking right now? That I asked them to leave for a special reason. Is that it? " " The air around here is quite different. It is obvious that there is something off. " " Tell me, Sophia." Derek said , taking quick strides to the bed. " Tell you what?" Sophia asked him as he took his way on the bed , coming face to face with her. " Do you happen to know any stuff about the healer?" "I don't really think I understand what you have just said now. What is with the question that you just asked me?" " There is nothing harmful about the question that I have asked. But at the same time, I need to know. So, tell me."" Ar
