Two days had elapsed already yet it felt like it was just a couple of minutes. It wrapped up like a blink of an eye. Derek stood before his window with his gaze flying out to the city that he reigned supreme over. This time, his gaze was not all over the place. It was fixed in one place. And that was in the direction of the court. Just in a few moments from now, he would either be seated or standing in the court to pass the verdict on what would be the future of Sophia as regards to whether she would be allowed to remain in the pack or get driven away . A death sentence could even be pronounced if by any means a hint of her being a sign of a threat is released out there in the court. " Hmm. " He exhaled tiredly and yawned, stretching the whole length of his body Knock. Knock. Knock. Someone was at the door. He could tell who it was. " Your majesty, Vieira has arrived. " The man outside the door announced. Derek sighed." Let him in. " The door opened and the huge guy found his wa

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

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

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

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
