The Lycan with no origin~Orion~"Alpha, I am here to inform you to begin preparation. We are getting everything ready in the next three days." Elder Winston and I were having a walk. On a good day, I would have enjoyed this walk because it was weather was favourable for a nice stroll. It was windy, the clouds sat in the sky like white foams moving slowly as they shielded the sun's rays momentarily. With the present turmoil in my life, I can't enjoy things like this anymore. A chilly night with the stars adorning the sky. The nice scents from the garden. And more. "Very well, Elder Winston. That's fine. I'll be ready by then."I had to pretend to be fine. As Elder Winston passed the information. I was thinking of what my mother had told me. Do I consider abdication or do I take the risk of going to the red plum tree? She said I would die if I tried to go as I was not a Lycan descendant of the Bloodmoon pack.All my life was a lie. She lied to me. I am a man with no origin. For years,

Friends Forever ~Orion~I opened my eyes and all I could see were trees. Is this where we come when we die? I ask myself. I felt pain in my feet, I could not move them. But the dead feel no pain. "You have woken up. You scared me. I thought you had died." That was Gabriel's voice. What was he doing here? Was he dead too? But he would not have said he thought I was dead, right?I turn my face towards the direction of the voice. " Gabriel, where are we? Are you dead too?"His laugh echoed through the forest. "Dead! We are fine.""How? I was in a room engulfed in flames.""Let's say I arrived at the right time. I heard all your conversations. Tristan and Sofia were with you in the room. I came to ask you how you were fairing with the preparation for the ritual. But I couldn't help but listen to what was going on in your chambers. It was when I perceived the smoke of burning fabrics and wood that knew I had to come in to save you. So I broke the door.""Does everyone know what happened

The Grand Scheme of Things ~Freya~The night was bustling with merry people rejoicing. The smell of roasted meat and wine filled the air. Men blasted to the music and the women swayed their hips to the tune. Tonight many maidens were brought in to amuse the men. Damian was not having as much great time as the others. He was missing Lauren. "Do you mind?" he asked, before sitting next to me. I shook my head to imply that I didn't mind. "This must mean a lot to all of you.""Indeed. I know I am new in this pack but I would die for this pack anytime, any day," he said proudly. "Do you also hate Moonstone Haven so much?" "My friend's enemy is my enemy. I do not need a reason to. But I do have a reason to hate them, the Bloodmoon pack are selfish and shrewd bastards.""Wow. They must have wronged you for you to categorise them as such.""I had a friend from there once. He was nothing short of evil. He stole all my money and tried to kill me afterwards. But miraculously I survived."

Hurt Lovers~Freya~Gabriel! I fought hard not to say his name aloud.I was shocked to see that this spy was Gabriel. The man Lyra has been in love with and was seen at the border was Gabriel. I almost got a panic attack when I locked eyes with Gabriel. i could feel the hair on my neck stand erect. Gabriel stared at me with puffing eyes. He had a look of disbelief on his face. He understood not to whisper my name or show a reaction of being acquainted with me. "What are you doing with the beta's sister, Lyra at the border? How do you know her? Were you trying to kidnap her? Because I can't believe you are lovers. You are an enemy!" Alpha Kane questioned, with fury in his eyes. Gabriel looked worn out. It was evident he was in a fight with Alpha Kane's men before they succeeded in restraining him and dragging him here. I withdrew from standing by a corner in the room. I didn't want Alpha Kane to read any meaning behind why I was becoming emotional all of a sudden. It was written o

Trailing Damian~Freya~Damian was lying. I knew it. He was hiding something. I drafted a plan on how I would read his thoughts. It wasn't long until Lauren returned from her trip. I had been planning to go see her. With the recent events, it was the perfect time for me to see her. I had not seen Damian since he returned from the border. I could not find answers to my questions. Unfortunately, he was no in"Lauren. When is he coming back?" I asked."Is anything the matter? Why do you want to see him urgently?" Lauren replied."There's something I would want to ask him." "Ohh. He has been busy lately. You know with their victory. He now goes to the goldmines often." I would have asked Ryan about Damian's whereabouts if I wanted to. But That would be foolish because Ryan would only suspect something was up. "Lauren, can I ask you something?""Go ahead. What is it?""For how long have you known Damian?""When I was brought in as a sex slave I met him at the brothel. He was very clo
