He couldn't believe it. All these while his father had always kept a soft spot for his brother, ignoring him die to claims which weren't true, speaking of things of which he didn't understand or even know anything about.His mind was filled, more of being crowded with thoughts of his father's statement. And to think it was his brother who he told all these to, the one he really didn't see reasons to despise apart from now, that went a long way to show that he had more enemies in his household who prevented him from becoming that we he had always desired to be.The secret kept on repeating itself in his head, the thoughts of it alone caused the veins in his body to pop out visibly as he showed off his anger in the very way he breathed, walked and looked. This was something so unbelievable from his father's actions. He remembered the moments when he and his brother played in the fields.He remembered seeing his father standing by the side with his hands behind his back, smiling as he
"No it won't be...", Lucas scoffed at the fear which oozed out with Nicholas's statement. He spoke in a confident manner, reassuring him that he was present with him even if things would want to go astray.The man they referred to was his father, if there was someone who should know the man in question in and out, then apart from his father's mate, it would have to be his sons. This was going to be rough, to trace his father down by threatening his mother was something which could cause them their lives if things weren't put in the right place.But he decided to keep an open mind, he fell back on the statement that there was definitely no harm in trying, and so he got enough nerve into going on with this plan of his. He placed his hands on his waist and then heaved a heavy sigh, looking up to the heavens as he prayed within himself that he was doing the right thing. "Is there a problem...?", It became Lucas turn to ask. He could see the frustration and the worry written all over hi
They waited till the darkness had taken over the entire landscape, peeping through the door all they could see was the lights which shone through the hallways and few footsteps around.For a moment Nicholas cursed the existence of the maids and the servant which lived in the house, he only wished their duties would end just as the darkness creeped in but no, they had to work till close to midnight and awake again before the first light.And while they waited patiently in the room, their heads were placed against the door just so they could keep up with the footsteps they heard.Slowly the footsteps faded away, and the hallway became quiet with just mere chatters from the maids who he claimed were known for their gossips.Nicholas held the door knob and opened again, this time he did it slowly to avoid the screeching sound of the door being heard and drawing attention to themselves.He stretched his neck out, his head moving left and right just so he could survey who was coming and who
"No...!", Emily screamed at the sight of her mate's lifeless body on the ground. This was a nightmare, one which had arrived earlier than expected.She stopped at the door with her eyes set on the man she ever loved, she couldn't move her feet neither could she breathe. She stood in her position with tears rolling down her eyes, her knees were weak and her legs were wobbling like she would fall to the ground.She dropped to the ground, her knees colliding with the hard surface as she stretched he hands towards her mate's hand. She held his hand, with no fear whatsoever she grabbed it, but the warm sensation was gone. That tingling sensation she felt whenever their bodies collided was no more, and all she felt was the coldness of ice around his body.She looked at his face, his eyes were wide open, bloodshot red and his mouth gave way for blood to flow out. "Emily, don't cry. I'll be fine, the wounds would heal up..", she imagined his lips parting to release the words. How she wished
"Tell me what happened..?", Luke asked while he stared at Emily who sat on a chair sobbing her loss. The night was long gone and the only sound heard was that of them who spoke and the chirping of the crickets outside of the house.The moon was up in the sky, shining brightly it's light upon the earth while the winds blew coldly and slowly.And with all of these things which Emily had noticed, to her it became funny how nature still went on with it's duties despite the death of a powerful being like her mate.And she realized Luke had asked her a question just the moment his touch on her skin interrupted her train of thoughts.."I was knitting something, wasn't so specific as to what I was making, but I needed that to do all those just to make sure that I had my time spent as I awaited Richard to return..", she sniffled again and cleaned off a mucus which rolled down her nostrils."And then what happened..?", Luke asked again, still paying keen attention."They came.. two of them...",
He stood under the bright morning light, that which the windows had let into the room, standing in front of a dead body which had been neatly arranged..Nicholas stood with his two hands placed placed behind his back, staring at his father who was into a deep sleep, this time, it was an eternal slumber of which there was no breath moving in and out of his nostrils.His father's lifeless body had been picked from the room, washed and dried in preparation for the funeral which would hold later on during the sunset, preferably the time when the darkness had covered the earth and the only source of light would be the bright full moon.He had heard of the plans his father made, the plans to hold the wolf summoning ceremony the next night which would bring about the birth of a new ruler, a new authority put in place.It would have been his brother Bryan, he had no doubts about what the future held for him, the conversation between his father and his brother during the previous day was enoug
The funeral night, the moon sat in the sky, though not as full as the previous nights, it was half shaped and it's curves were perfect, but still it shone it's light beautifully and generously, giving light to the environment.The death of the Alpha king had struck a blow through the hearts of the occupants of the blue moon pack, causing a mourning that wouldn't seem to end even at the venue of the funeral.They stood at the bank of the ocean, where the waters moved with an energy beyond imagination. It felt as though even nature itself had felt the demise which had befallen the blue moon pack as the winds followed it's movement, moving roughly but created a warmth sensation on the skins of the people present.They each had fire torches held up high in their hands, kindled on some sticks which were gotten from tree branches, of which it's top was wrapped with pieces of clothes, dipped in oil and set on fire.Despite the harsh movement of the winds, the fire didn't seem to quench, just
Adira walked into the house, on her body was a lengthy black dress with long sleeves on both arms and a little ribbon used to beautify her hair which was made into a bun.The atmosphere was busy with a tidal wave of people moving round and at the corner of the large hall sat some skilled instrumentalists who calmed the atmosphere with their melodious songs..Yet even with the busy atmosphere, the smell of sadness and pain filled the air, the scent of it striking the same feeling into everyone who stepped in. She stepped inside, her eyes were already wet as she wasn't an exception to the feeling which had swept off everyone, she could also tell of the pain which came with the loss of the Alpha king.She remembered the first moment she had a conversation with him, his looks alone could deceive one to thinking he was extremely aged with the colour of his hair on his head and his chin bearing the same evidence, but his words were still young and agile, his intelligence had never faded and
