Two months swiftly pass, with Evan and Aiden preparing for their upcoming task in front of them. This night was to be their night. They were going to start sleeping outside for the full moon to rise fully.
"I think am nervous," Evan told Aiden
" There is nothing to be Nervous about, besides you got your family to be around you," Aiden told Evan
"I know but…"
" Okay boys, it's time, to go outside and sit in under the mood, close your eyes, and let the cool saint of the air take you away," Derrick said to them, and they did exactly what Derrick told them to do
It was already midnight, and the moon was rising slowly, so at the stars. Aiden and Evan weren't their selves anymore, they were taken away by the moon and the stars as they perform their rite on them
Three days slowly passed and at midnight, The moon and the stars had commenced fully, the night was shining bright, it rained heavily, thunderstruck everywhere, and immediately the moon and star shine on them, Loud groan was heard everywhere, and Aiden, Evan and the rest of the wolves that were around then groaning Loud, and they bowed to them.
After some time, the Moon slowly went inside as so as the stars, and that was when Aiden and Evan came back to their selves, They felt pain around them, they were weak and were taken inside to heal
"I had told you guys that the rites of becoming an Alpha aren't hard, what is going to be hard is the hard task that is ahead of you two" Gerrad said
"But am feeling the pain now dad, I don't know when I will be able to stand up from here," Aiden said to his dad
"By tomorrow it's going to heal," Gerrad said
"I will leave you two now, get some sleep"
Gerrad said and left
"Now, I can't wait to see what my mate would look like," Aiden said
"Why are you eager to meet your mate, didn't you hear we would face a heavy task ahead," Evan said
"When the time reaches, we would know what to do, but now, I wish I could see her now," Aiden said
"I need to rest, I may die if I keep on talking to you with this pain I am enduring," Evan said and faced the other side of the bed.
Evan and Aiden healed so fast, it wasn't surprising to them because they were already told about it.
The preparation for the attack started, They were going to attack their enemy in the next few days
"Everything is set," one of the Derrick men told him
"Go check on the starlight park and tell Gerrard to give you information, if anything is required there," Derrick said to the man and left
On his way, he called Dan, the inner eyes in the high court park
"Any information," Derrick asked
"The king has hired many guards to protect everywhere, it's going to be hard for you all to enter" Dan explained
"Is there not a place that isn't guarded? like a little entry" Derrick said worriedly, he wouldn't want all their efforts to waste
"There is, but that place is through the princess courtyard, I will lead you when you arrive," Dan said
" We will be attacking the night of her birthday, and remember, the princess's safety is in your hands, don't allow anything to happen to her" Derek cautioned him
" I know, I have to go now," He said and Hung up, Derrick was about to turn to go, When he saw Evan at his back
"Why to secure the princess, isn't she the daughter of the greedy man?" Evan asked
"She is, but she and her brother has nothing to do with it, Her brother can take care of himself when it comes to fighting but is not sure she can" Derrick answered walking away
"Is she my mate?" Evan suddenly asks, making Derrick stop in his track
"That I don't know, Am not supposed to tell you your mate, just secure any girl that gave a feeling to your heart," Derrick said without looking back at Evan
"You all are confusing me, how am I supposed to know any girl that has anything to do with my heart," Evan said almost yelling, all this was already frustrating him, and he doesn't like it
"I have no answers to that boy, calm down and you will understand, Get back to work immediately," Derrick said and left. Evan was confused, he stood there trying to formulate what his father had just told him when someone touched him on his shoulder
"Evan, what are you thinking about?" Aiden asked
"What are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be preparing for their so-called battle?" Evan questioned Aiden, trying not to answer the first question Aiden had asked
"So-called battle? Last time I checked, you are leading this battle, why the sudden sad expression on your face?" Aiden asked
"Why can't they just go straight to the point and tell me she is my mate, Than telling me some sought of feelings," Evan said sitting on the seat that was beside them, and Aiden followed suit
"Or maybe she isn't, or they were told not to tell you, remember dad said it was a task for us, You also told me we should prepare for the task ahead, Why are you running away from yours?" Aiden said, trying to comfort Evan, He knew his friend was in pain. He knew Evan loves sincerity
"I Know it's a task, but I just feel I need to know, what if I killed her in the process?" Evan said with said emotion
"Don't worry, I will make sure I have that feeling when though you don't want to" Aiden said Smiling and facing the other side
"Don't think of doing anything stupid, she is my mate!!" Evan said already becoming jealous
"Cool boy, I don't say I would take her away from you. Wait, is this jealousy?" Aiden asked, Making Evan glare hard at him before standing up and walking away.
Aiden laughed hard and followed his best friend who was already heading to the other park.
Everywhere was decorated with a silver-green color with a matching blue to fit it. Everyone was running around just to make things beautiful to avoid angering the king. It was the second week, and today was Kate's birthday. The throne hall was where the party was going to take place, The king was in his chamber dressing as Kate, Jaden, and her Grandfather.Kate POVThe maid had finished dressing me up, and my brother nocks the door and come into my room, he was so surprised seeing me in a beautiful dress because I never got the chance to put on a beautiful dress before, then “he said wow you look more beautiful than ever before on this dress” and I smiled. I was wearing a green long gown with bare hands, and my shoulder up to my neck was naked, except for the necklace that was on my neck. My body was decorated with different kinds of ornaments.Today was the day I have been waiting for, the day of my birthday, the day my mom had died, the day my father started blaming me for all his m
I staggered backward, What a surprise birthday gift indeed. I didn't know what to say, my legs became weak. I watched as my Father kept looking at the congregation, who were chanting happily. Now I know what the sudden birthday was all about, now I Know what the sudden decorations and the ornaments on my body were all about.The so-called husband tried holding me."Don't you dare come close to me" I said, I didn't know where I got the courage from, but I was fed up already, I won't let anyone humiliate me.The man in front of me frowned, he raised one of his brows and the other one down as he looked at me"Behave yourself, Kate!!" Father yelled at me. I wasn't ready to listen to him now. This is my future now, I am not ready to ruin my life."What is the meaning of this father, why didn't you tell us that you were trying to sell Kate away, your daughter!!" My brother said I didn't know he was already there"I called this thing a daughter, the one who made life miserable for me, she to
Evan POVAs the arrangements for the birthday were going on, The rest of the clan and I sneakingly did some arrangements without anybody knowing. We made everything look organized, cause we wouldn't want to miss such an opportunity.After we noticed that the birthday had begun, we slowly entered the court clan with the help of an insider."You all should go through from the down and both sides of the building, Aiden and I would go through from the top of the root," I said to some men who were with me"How do we get the signal to strike," One of them asked me"I will give you a signal with a groan, it wouldn't be too loud to attract them from running away, so you have to be alert," I told them"Go inside the throne hall like a normal guest" I added and they leftAiden and I found our way to the roof, Aiden walked slowly on top of the roof, while I walked through the windows. While moving through the windows I saw a lady facing the other end of the room, I wanted to go see who she was,
Kate POVI woke up very tired.I was laying on a soft bed. I had cried my voice and my whole tears out yesterday. My eyes were swollen from all the tears I had poured out since yesterday. I looked around and found myself in another room.The flashback of all what happened yesterday kept running through my mind."I hope my brother and Grandma are okay" I thought.I came down from the bed, I looked down at my leg which was bleeding yesterday but it was already taken care of. I walked to the door wanting to open it, when the door opened revealing a young man.He had a broad chest, Golden eyes and very long hair. Apart from my brother, I haven't seen anyone so beautiful as the young man that was standing in front of me."Are you done staring at me?" He asked and I staggered backwards"Were you trying to run away?" He asked again and I still kept quietHe came close to me and I stepped backwards, he still kept coming close to me."Don't come closer" I commanded, as I brought my hands forwar
Evan POVI ran around the whole clan, and still couldn't find her. I Didn't Know why I had this feeling that it was my priority to protect her. I entered the Starlight clan, and there I saw her, standing on the balcony as she gazed intensely at the sunrise."You are here?" I asked, walking straight to her, and she turned to look at me."You thought I was going to escape?" She questioned me"I didn't think, I know you were going to escape," I said back to her, and she smiled a little"I know I miss my family, but I would rather stay here where I have freedom than go back to my father, where I am always treated like a slave," she said, looking directly into my eyes. I was surprised " why would she say such," I thought"What do you mean?" I asked her again. She released a heavy sigh and walked closer to me."You wouldn't want to know. Am a slave here though but at least I have a little freedom, I will act like such, so don't think of associating with me" She said, smiled at me, and walke
Aiden and Evan kept staring at Jaden, whose head was bowed down. They were more than surprised to ask him any questions. They were disappointed that their friends couldn't trust them with his secret, but that they trusted him with theirs."Why are you telling us this now, because you assume we were the one that captured your sister?" Evan asked him"I was sent to your school to get information about your clan for my greedy father, After knowing you both had trusted me, I didn't tell my father anything about your clan, My father was a greedy man and could do anything for money and power, I didn't tell you two, because if my dad knew I told you, you and I would be hurt dangerously" Jaden explain"So you came for your sister?" Aiden asked and he nodded"My sister have never known happiness after my mother's death, she and my grandma is the only family I have, my grandma is sick now, all because my sister isn't found" Jaden said" I took your sister away yesterday, and she is in our park
Kate POVJaden left a while ago and I felt lonely again, even though Aiden had told me that, I was free to roam around the way I wanted but not to go outside just for my security. I still lay down on the bed, Aiden and Evan had followed Jaden so they could escort him back outside the clan. The door to my room opened, I didn't care to look back cause I knew it was Either Aiden or Evan"Am I disturbing?" Another voice asked, and I turned to look at it almost immediately. It was someone I don't Know"What are you doing here all alone?" The middle-aged man asked me, sitting down next to me on the bed, but I didn't reply"You don't need to be afraid of me, am Evan's father, Derrick," He said still looking at me"I came to check up on you," He said again"Thank you" Was my short reply to him"What that your brother leaving," he asked and I nodded"He must really miss you, am sorry you have to stay away from your family, but we are only doing this just for your safety," He said"My safety? I
Derrick left after he told Kate everything about the awaiting war, he showed her every secret place in the call, and he even went as far as introducing her to every important person in the park. Kate was surprised why he was showing her everywhere, and why he trusted her but told her some of their secrets, and his answer to her was that one day she will be the one to guide some affairs in the clan. Not understanding what he meant she decided to wash the thought off her head.Kate was now with one of the men in the park, she had told him she wanted to fight him, just to check her fighting skills, and after several pleas from the man he agreed. Everyone surrounded them when they noticed the princess was about to fight one of their skillful men.Kate was putting on tight pants that reached her foot, covering it with long sneakers. She was putting on her armor and tied her long hair up, so it wouldn't be disturbing her, she took out her sword and faced the man. When the battle was about b
