Silver: Everyone seemed to be glaring at me as I fearfully made my way back to the harem. My body was shaking from having just lied to the king, but it was something I had to do. I had never had to go back to the harem on my own before as Alpha Damon always instructed a guard to take me, but this morning was different. I had pissed him off greatly and now had to face the consequences of my actions. I had a feeling he would be suspicious of my sudden desire to save the harem and Gertrude, but what I hadn't expected was him to be exceedingly angry about it. For a split second, I considered telling him the entire truth of how I had been put up to it by Rogu, but I knew in the end, if he knew what my father had done, the reasonability he showed with me would be gone. He implied he could take care of me and protect me from whatever plans Rogu had threatened me with, but I couldn't let myself be deceived by that false hope. As I walked through the main streets, some of the wolves turne
Silver:I managed to stay on her back by gripping her fur tightly, as she glided through the forest along with the other wolves who were scampering for their lives. Her wolf bolted through the grassy fields with so much speed that everything I looked at passed by like a blur, and the only sound I could hear was the sound of rushing wind slicing past my ears. Struggling to catch my breath, I buried my head in her fur as I held onto her for dear life. I was unable to forget the smell the rogues had released, a smell so rancid, it announced their presence even before they could be seen. I couldn't get the image of their bloody snouts and mouths dripping with saliva out of my mind either, a sight that disgusted me just as much as it terrified me. My class study on rogues from back in my clan school was one of the few werewolf classes I had ever paid attention to. I had admired rogues because they, like me, were ostracized. I hadn't believed in their existence generally, but just like a
Silver:My body shook as I fell to the ground and held my hands over my head. I could feel them coming closer even without seeing them and it terrified me to the core. There was nothing I could do at this point without making things worse. From a crack in between my fingers, I peeked and saw two women wielding sharp knives which were supposed to be for our collective protection here. For them, a human was more dangerous than a million rogues put together. At least they shared similarities with the rogues, but I would forever remain an outcast. Alpha Damon’s protection of me was becoming suspicious to the rest of his kingdom. They were beginning to think I had some hold on him and I couldn’t blame them. When I peeked again, the other women had given way for the first woman to walk up to me with the knife that looked extra sharp and pointed it directly under my neck. So this was it. My demise. I never imagined my death like this; in another man’s land when I hadn’t even begun to explo
Silver: “Who are you?” I asked her warily and she rolled her eyes. “I literally just told you that. You were in danger, you cried out to my Sovereign and she sent me here.”“So how exactly are you going to help me?” None of this made any sense, but the only thing I could keep doing was ask. I thought I was losing my mind and her answers weren't making it any better. “I already helped you. Why do you think everyone is frozen?” she gave me a ‘duh’ look. “You’re welcome.” “How?” “That's my power. I can bend and freeze time, so that’s exactly what I did.” She walked closer to me, but I only moved further backward. I no longer had my weapon with me, but I made sure to glare at her in a way that would make her know I could throw hands. “I'm here to protect you. There's no need to be scared of me. I thought you would be happy.” “You’re just a child,” I murmured, shaking my head and holding onto a tree. “This is my current form. Cute, right.” She looked down at her baby skin and her c
Silver: Not willing to risk my new-found freedom, I remained by an inconspicuous corner of the room, away from the rest of the women where they wouldn’t notice I didn’t smell like them and somehow remember all that had happened before now, but not so far away either. Apart from one sick-looking woman who kept watching me warily, no one else seemed to pay me any mind. I wondered where Mila was. Maybe if I had someone with me, the odd woman wouldn’t find me so interesting.Coming to think of it, there weren’t many people there our age. No other harem girl had made it into the building. I felt a little chilly. I hoped the people in here weren’t the only people who had survived. A door inside the room burst open and Mila came out. “There you are! I’ve been looking all over for you,” she chastised me, but came up to hug me. I was equally relieved to see her. She sat down beside me as we stared off into space. There was nothing else to do and nothing much to be said. Soon, a silence ove
Silver: Everyone was now awake because of the woman and me and I didn't like the attention it brought.“Are you okay?” Mila asked sleepily, vaguely aware of what was going on. “Yeah. That woman just thought she was seeing something," I said, desperately hoping that was all this was about. “Old Lady Ruth?” she scoffed, glancing at the woman. “Everyone knows her. She's crazy. I don't even know why she came here.” My eyes widened. “So she deserves to die because she's crazy and old?” “Calm down. That's not what I meant. She's always saying it's her fault her whole family died and she wants to die with them, so it's surprising how she keeps running to safety.” I glanced at the woman and noticed she was still mumbling something and staring at me. I didn't know her story, and I didn't want to know it. Something warned me against her and inasmuch as I didn't support abandoning people because they were crazy, I couldn't ignore that nagging voice in my head telling me to stay away from h
Tiffanie:It had been exactly twenty-one days since my sister, Silver left us, twenty-one silent days of regret and uncertainty. Our once bubbly house became a graveyard where celebratory visits slowly turned into condolence visits. On the day Silver left us, my mother had just agreed to do something she had been so against from the start, a hypnosis on Silver. Everyone had always been irritated by my sister's complete disregard for our sacred beliefs, but it had never been the plan to hypnotize her, no matter how many times the Sorceress tried to convince my mother. However, something had happened that morning after my mother found Silver in the forest. She never told me what exactly she had seen, but ever since that day, nothing remained the same again. Unfortunately, the Sorceress had come that day to try and convince us, and surprisingly, my mother agreed to go on with the hypnosis, wholeheartedly, and like the subservient and dutiful daughter I was, I agreed with her. Okay, th
Silver: The Reborn Kingdom did not take the news of their King’s disappearance as well as I had expected them to. On the first day, it was complete chaos. People wailed on the streets, tore their clothes, and scattered around everywhere. No one tried to bring Mila and me back to the harem like I assumed they would. There was nothing but confusion everywhere, I wondered how Beta Rogu would ever be able to put the Kingdom back in order. After storming out of the hideout building, I hadn’t been able to find Mila again. I wondered if she was searching for me, or if amidst the chaos, she had been hurt. I had to carry on without her. Based on everything that had happened, I had a huge role to play now, so I would worry about her later. I hid my bracelet inside my dress to protect it from being stolen. It was very easy for people to revert to crime during times like this and I preferred not to be a victim. I didn’t know where I was going to or what I hoped to achieve by mindlessly roaming
