He didn’t know why Chike was here and now, but he knew one thing for certain: he wasn’t here for good. Nothing about the snake was good. He was a betrayer, a monster who tried to take his wife away from him. For that, he could never forgive him. Whatever news he brought from his master, it better be one that wouldn’t annoy him, or he would return the message in a body bag. “You heard too?” he asked when Edward fell in line with him. “I saw Sir Valerio enter the castle, and I wanted to know what news he had that brought him so early,” he answered.He slowed down but didn’t stop walking. “I see, but you had no dealings or business with Alpha Chike while he served under me, so why do you bother?”“I want to once again see the man who made you doubt my loyalty to you. But then again, you have doubted my loyalty from the very day I was born. And from then on, you figured out a way to catch me in the act of betraying you,” he said, and this time, it made Xavier halt.He kept quiet; Edward

Warning: Triggering chapter: Dead body. “My king,” Chike bowed as he stepped into the throne room where Elliott currently sat on the throne; the chair beside him belonging to Lily, his Luna Queen, is empty.The throne room had witnessed a massive change since Elliott became king. He wanted to do things differently than past kings. He changed his throne setting and also had the stairs that led up to the throne seat elevated. Then he closed up the multiple windows the throne room had, leaving it with just one. Lastly, he removed the office of the Luna Queen, though her seat remained in the throne room. Luna Lily was as quiet as she had always been with this decision as she carried on with her role as wife and mate. The only counsel he took now was Zor’d, and he saw nothing wrong with it, so Elliott carried on.The throne room didn’t have as much light as it used to; instead, it had only one light coming from behind the throne seat and always blinding those standing before it. “You sen

Edward could hear the footsteps of the king’s army marching on from a few miles away. Despite having already evacuated those who worked and came to the Farmer’s Institute every day since earlier this morning, many stayed back to see the turn of events. They stayed back to see the last state of the building. And others lingered around because the Farmer’s Institute had given rise to a few jobs and businesses in the vicinity which was north of the capital. The crowd had gossiped about how this was an obvious ploy by the king to lure out the alpha king, Xavier, and many prayed he stayed hidden away from Elliott, the cruel usurper King. It didn’t take a genius to know the people’s loyalty rested with the former king. He had been a wonderful king and provided food and security. Peace has also been abundant in his reign as compared to that of the self-proclaimed King Elliott, who only invoked fear and hatred wherever he went. Still, he didn’t let anyone around him know who he was; he had

Xavier sat in silence beside Mia in the deliberation room. Everyone who was there earlier had one way or another left to put things in place, but Xavier couldn’t pull himself up to do anything. Mia stayed with him, and his heart went out to Edward, and he wondered where and how he was. He had gone to face the Revolution Force on his own. That was self-destruction, because even Edward knew he couldn’t take them down alone. He couldn’t, unless he had acquired powers Xavier didn’t know of or his strategy of attack differed from theirs.He couldn’t die. Edward was more stubborn than that. He had to come back to him because he would be a complete mess without his brother. Mia had stayed beside him silently, already knowing that what he needed most was the silence and her presence.After a few hours, Xavier joined up with the rest to plan the battle before them. The odds were not in their favour without Edward, but they had to keep pushing and hoping for the best outcome. Everyone’s input a

After three weeks of journeying, they were already in Klean, heading for the Royal city where the palace was. Klean was a smaller kingdom compared to Wahala in land size and population. Getting to the capital after crossing the border would take just three days of horse riding, and that wasn't such a long time. The smell of the grass and the warmth of the kingdom engulf princess Xoe and she knew she was home where she belonged. She hadn't cherished these little things when she was here, but being gone for many months had opened her mind to the things she had. The rest three days flew by before she knew it and they now sat on their horses, staring at the royal palace of the kingdom of Klean where her father, his Majesty, king Ferdinand Ono, lived. "When we get there, promise you will let me speak alone to the guards and no matter what, do not fight. If they take your sword and weapons, they will hand them over to you in time," Xoe told Ace, sir, Alex and Joi. "Do you understand?" E
