Ari Chapter 28: Forest Wolf Tribe
Lowell and Acwulf were waiting by the entrance of their tribe when we arrived on their territory. Acwulf looked worried and hurriedly asked Dillon for a private conversation while he instructed his son, Lowell, the current alpha, to accompany me to the rooms they had prepared for us. The housing of the Forest Wolf Tribe was a huge cave on the mountain that had multiple rooms they built for each member of the tribe. "Long time no see," he said excitedly. I didn't dare remove my hood nor respond to his greeting. I was thinking about a lot of things at that moment and was not motivated to talk to anyone else if it was not necessary. "Here, you can stay here as long as you want," he said enthusiastically. I remained silent and in a daze, as I was swallowed by my emotion, though I was holding back my tears. He opened the door and led me to the bedroom, where he placed my bag on the side as I sat on the bed. He squatted in front of me, trying to peek under my hood. I was startled, so I
Ari Chapter 29: The Little Hatchling
The next morning, there was a commotion in the Forest Wolf Tribe. It was said that they found an unconscious Lion hatchling in the forest, so they brought him back to Lowell to decide what to do after they treated his wounds. I hurriedly took a peek at the said hatchling, as I felt uneasy when I heard the news. Lowell and Dillon accompanied me to the elder healer of their tribe, Ralph. I was stunned when I saw Gurion's disheveled appearance. I screamed in shock, "Gurion!" "Do you know who the parents of this little hatchling are?" the elder healer asked. "Gurion... he is Ari's little hatchling," Dillon answered as he approached Gurion gently. Lowell, Acwulf, and the elder healer were stunned. They were speechless, and they seemed not to know how to respond. Who wouldn’t be shocked to know that a minor like me had a hatchling who was barely four years old? What's more, I haven't even come of age yet. I laughed at their reactions because they looked at me in confusion but couldn’t
Ari Chapter 30: A Nightmare
A hatchling normally couldn't speak properly as they were not used to their passive appearance just yet. "Never mind, I'm still happy that you are fine—my heart almost dropped when I saw you unconscious this morning," I sighed as I hugged him tightly and stroked his honey-blonde, frizzy, and curly short hair. "Would you like me to arrange a nanny for him and a separate room in the meantime?" Lowell asked. "No, I can take care of him by myself if Ari needs some rest," Dillon insisted. "Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare lunch and snacks for later," Lowell replied as he suggested, "and I'll help out by teaching him how to pronounce the words properly too." "Aren't you busy?" I asked out of curiosity. "You looked so lax, despite being the alpha of a big tribe." "Nope, I can have my tribe do things for me, especially because your method for sustaining food helped us a lot—there are a lot of hands working anyway," he explained. "Then why is your father always busy?" I asked in respons
Ari Chapter 31: Second Guardian
I was thrilled because of his response, so I ate all the soup and tonics at once before responding. "I'll do anything as long as I can do it; just please keep it a secret," I pleaded. Lowell suddenly knelt to the ground as he bowed down—I was surprised. Why did he suddenly do that? What's happening? My heart started to flutter as I suddenly got nervous about the words Lowell was about to say. "It doesn't matter if you give me a favor similar to Dillon's, but I still want to be by your side; can you also accept me as your guardian?" He replied, begging as he kneeled in front of me. "There are other beautiful females out there; what's more is that I am still too young, and it will be unfair for the both of us to be bound by a forced relationship," I said defensively while panicking due to his words. "I... won't force you; I never intended to do so; don't worry, I'm willing to wait until you can accept me, but I won't give up easily; for me, there's only you and no one else," he str
Ari Chapter 32: What happened to Dillon
Lowell and I were taken aback. I'm not sure if he heard everything we said, but he seemed serious and concerned at the same time. "Where is Gurion?" I asked nervously, hoping to lighten his mood. "Acwulf took him for a stroll," he replied, clenching his jaws and holding his temper. "How much did you hear?" I inquired. "Since he confessed his feelings," he said, looking away insecurely. So technically, he had heard everything. I felt bad, but it was his fault for listening in on our conversation. "Are you possibly jealous?" I wondered. "Would you be upset if I was?" he asked. "Nope—it's natural to feel jealous from time to time; I can even feel jealous; I just don't show it to anyone," I replied honestly, smiling at him to cheer him up. He sat beside me, holding my hand and resting his head on my shoulder. "Is there a reason you're going there?" He asked as he pushed me onto the bed and hugged me tightly. For some reason, I felt sleepy. His scent was extremely soothing. "Can
Ari Chapter 33: Quitting as Alpha
When I awoke, Dillon was setting the table for breakfast. "Are you awake?" he asked, abruptly turning to face me. I couldn't respond because I was reminded of my father, who would greet me in the morning and invite me to breakfast before we started working on the tasks at hand. "Let's start with breakfast," he said sweetly and softly. Tears welled up in my eyes, causing Dillon to panic out of confusion. "Did you have a nightmare?" He asked then rattled, "Water... water... drink some water," attempting to keep his voice down despite his panic. He handed me the water with trembling hands, almost spilling it on the blanket. Gurion was still soundly sleeping by my side since it was far too early, and a hatchling usually takes a nap almost all the time. I sat down carefully and started drinking the water to soothe myself before returning the cup to Dillon. He was about to return to the table when I mistakenly grabbed his tail, remembering how he had fled without saying anything the p
Ari Chapter 34: Brother
A few days after Gurion was found in the forest, an unexpected guest arrived along with shocking news from the Forest Lion tribe. According to what I've heard of the report given to Lowell by his subordinate, my father suddenly vanished into thin air after his body emitted a blindingly bright light. Everyone in the Forest Lion tribe was in mourning. Acwulf didn't let the report finish, as he already understood who the report was from. Lowell and Acwulf were in a panic. They didn't explain to me what was going on, but they asked me to hide from the visitor who delivered the report to the tribe. I snuck out of the room to see the cause of the commotion while hiding in the distance. Unfortunately, the said guest identified my location instantly. "I know you're behind the tree, Ari," he said while laughing. "Brother Orson, why are you here?" I asked as I revealed myself. "I'm here to report the incident to the Forest Wolf Tribe because Acwulf is one of Father Lev's friends and to lo
Ari Chapter 35: We are Siblings
"Can I talk to you in private?" he asked. "There is something I need to tell you regarding Lindie." I asked Dillon to leave and bring Gurion after eating so my brother and I could talk in private. He agreed, so after I fed Gurion and Dillon finished his food, he left the room with Gurion to give me and my brother some privacy. "I'm sorry, Ari. I failed you as your older brother. I know Lindie was too harsh on you. I knew it all. However, I couldn't do anything." he said as he held my hand, trembling as he tried to control his emotion. "I really did try my best to convince her and to stop her from bullying you, but her jealousy had the best of her since she was spoiled too much," he explained. It was true. Lindie had been the center of attention for most of the tribesmen since she was young because she was favored by everyone. Her beauty was unparalleled, even when she was just a hatchling. I, on the other hand, hid from the eyes of the masses to prevent any unnecessary circumstances
