After four days of mindless journeying, we came to a large clearing and immediately I fell in love with the space, we are definitely setting base here. It just feels right.As I glanced around, a cool breeze blew across my face and whispered serenity in my ears.I smiled with contentment, apparently Mich and the guys thought of the same thing as they shared a look“I think we’ve come to the end of our journey as we’ll be setting base here” I announced and shouts and cheers erupted from everyone . I smiled as I sat down on a tree stump to stretch my legs. I silently watched as everyone laughed and related as family.“We can rest today, when it’s tomorrow we start building. We’ll be needing several building woods, raffia palms, firm bricks and other building materials”.I said while gaining the attention of the rest.“Devin, Harry and I will be in charge of clearing this space, sourcing for the building woods and also setting it up. I believe you ladies can handle the rest” Mich cont
“Tomorrow, we begin our revenge mission. And we are going from pack to pack destroying them all” I announced with rage seeping through my voice.“I suggest we call ourselves The Grim Reapers, for we are claiming the soul of the evil perpetrators and bringing balance to the world” Mich supported.“Which pack do we begin with” Eloha asks “We begin a journey following the route we came through; we start killing and destroying any and every pack we come across”.“What about weapons” Devin who has been quite asked “I suggest we all polish our swords and also carry a good number of poisoned arrows we prepared some days ago” Mich responded.“In that case, we need to go to bed now so we can rise early tomorrow to begin the journey” I announcedWe bade one another goodnight and went to lay down but I could tell no one was sleeping as we all anticipated the mission ahead of us.Dawn came and the ladies were the first to go to the nearby lake to take a wash and fill up some water for the jour
The next mission went as planned, the villagers were caught unaware and by the time they wanted to fight back,It was already late and their village was up in flames with the then Beta who betrayed Rozim’s father to become the Alphanowhere to be found but the other leaders tied up on a stake at the same place they had tied Rozim and Eloha when they found them. “Jasmine, let’s hurry and get to the dungeon as fast as we can. I have a feeling Alpha ralph will have gone ahead of us to the dungeon” he said in a rush while trying to pull me along with him.“Where’s this dungeon” I asked Rozim“Its in a settlement across the river of Zolam behind the village”, he respondedWe ran towards the back of the herbal home; we found an abandoned boat and I sat in it while Rozim got down to push us far into the water before jumping in himself.“Can you row faster Rozim, if your gut says Ralph is at the dungeon, then we need to hurry before he harms your mother. We got to the settlement in no time a
I don’t know what it is with me waking up to the excited chatter of the birds,there’s something soothing and hopeful about that sound. I was awake but my eyes remained close to enjoy the bliss in the sound of nature around me.I can hear some quiet whispers above my head and wondered who those voices belong to, what were they talking about?“Do you think we should wake her now; she looks so peaceful” I smiled; I still do not open my eyes; I was feeling quite lazy that morning.Wait, is that rain already? I was starting to enjoy my blissful sleep. What kind of rain falls without the fresh scent to water hitting the dry earth, I was puzzled.I slowly open my eyes to see Mich standing above me with a small container containing water, ready to sprinkle some more on my body.I exclaimed, “Mich! what do you think you’re doing pouring water over me like that” I said with fake annoyance springing up at him while he retreats backwards.“I sure will have my revenge on everyone who assisted
“You mean to tell me that Derrick is getting married to that witch Becky? After all they’ve put me through“I’m really sorry Jas, but I’ve got to be on my way before my absence is noticed. So long sister” she said walking away into the bush just behind the hut.I was lost for words as tears streamed down my face, I made no attempt to wipe it off as I thought back to when Derrick rescued me when I was almost burnt to death, up till when he announced me as his mate, I thought of the time he chased me away and denounced our relationship as mates publicly.Fresh tears streamed down as I gripped my chest in pain. It was in that state that Mich found me, he ran to me and put my head by his chest.“Jasmine, shhhhh, it will be okay. Just calm down” he comforted me while rubbing my hair. I further buried my face in his chest and soaked his cloth with my tears.“Just tell me what you want us to do to him and this Becky girl” he continued. I was shocked, how did he know, was he eavesdropping, a
I started on the journey back home by dusk in tears and a heavy heart, when Derrick announced me as his mate, I was so excited and I felt everything was just right and nothing could ever go wrong. When the villagers started accusing me of being a source of bad luck, my only consolation was that I had a mate that cared for me and had my back and would defend me. So when he denounced me publicly, my heart was shattered into a million pieces.I was almost home but I didn’t want the rest to know that I had been crying. I stopped by a lake and washed my face a couple of times, when I was satisfied, I made way to our hut.Rosetta and Carissa were the first to see me,“Everyone Jasmine is back”, they screamed with excitement as they hugged me tightly.“O..ka..y guys, can you let me go, you …are … choking … me” I struggled to breath as they held on to me tightly.“We are sorry Jas, we were just excited to see you” Rosetta talked in a rush as she was excited to see me of which I was yet to
We started fresh rounds of training with the rest of the pack. There was a sense of importance to the current mission: which made us train harder that we ever had. I trained more aggressivelyMich was the one training us, he taught me how to further develop my stance when fighting and also how to fight with my wolf, who was getting better by the day.He taught Devin and Harry in the art of bow and arrow,they also got as many poisoned poisoned arrows as they could get. I was the most amused by the ladies, Eloha indicated interest in sword artistry which I didn’t she had been secretly receiving trainings from Harry, Carissa was obviously leaning towards the art of bow and arrow defense while Rosetta preferred fighting with her wolf of which she had the strongest wolf among the ladies.“Jasmine, lets wrap up the training for today, its kind of being a while we sat round the fire after dinner, you know the way we used to have it” Mich said after a session of training a particular morn
Later that evening, as we prepared to have dinner, I supervised the girls as they prepared dinner and I watched them chatter excitedly,I drifted into thoughts as I thought about the dream I had earlier in the day. “What could this dream mean, I was sure I heard the voice call my name” I muttered quietly to myselfI shrugged off the eerie feeling that settled about me as I thought of the dream“I guess I just have to let this dream go, perhaps it’s as a result of the recent happenings” and like that I discarded the dream and whatever it could mean. I rose to my feet to join the rest by the fire as is our daily practice,“Jasmine, where have you been. You didn’t have dinner, are you sure you are okay” Carissa asked me as she sat close to me holding my two hands warmly.“It’s nothing serious Carissa, I’m okay. And as for dinner, I wasn’t really hungry”I assured her as she had worry lines etched on her face.I watched Mich to catch his reaction but he just sighed and looked away, th
