He got back home later that day, determined to help Emily. She didn't say a word to him, even as he sat close to her by the bedside. She looked lost, continually staring into the empty space in front of her. For a while, he contemplated how to go about it, but the more an idea came up, the more useless he considered it. It was a very frustrating couple of minutes for him.Gently, he took hold of her hand, as he tried to get her attention. Emily's heart raced as she felt the familiar tingle in her fingertips. She knew what was coming next, so she decided to speak before he did."I have no idea what happened over there," she began, even though she made sure not to look at him."Has it ever happened before?," he asked, maintaining a calm demeanor."Yes, but that was a long time ago.’"Did you have control over yourself when it happened back then?," he asked again, his voice low and steady."No," she replied, her voice barely a whisper. "I don't know how to control it."Frederick placed a
The evening was a sight to behold. The sky was painted in hues of orange, pink, and purple, as the sun set behind the mountains. The air was crisp and cool, with a gentle breeze blowing through the trees. The leaves rustled softly, creating a soothing melody that filled the air. The moon was already visible in the sky, casting a soft glow over everything.As Fidelis walked through the woods, he couldn’t help but admire the beauty of the evening. He had always loved this time of day, when everything seemed to slow down and the world was bathed in a warm glow. It was in those moments that he loved to think."I never make mistakes when I take decisions, wrapped under nature's warm embrace," he would say to those who cared to listen.Suddenly, he heard a twig snap behind him. He turned around to see Damon, 'Alicia's doom,' as he often referred to him.“What are you doing here?," Fidelis asked, clearly irritated by his presence. He just didn't like Damon. No matter what he did, he was nev
Damon’s heart was pounding as he watched Zed approach his cage. He had been waiting for this moment for what felt like an eternity. He still remembered that night in the forest. Zed was the one who had helped him out of the pit, and helped nurse his injury. He was the last person he remembered seeing his face before he was put to sleep. So surely, he must know about his missing necklace."The way you're looking at me, it seems you have been dying to see me," Zed remarked, awestruck by the manner at which Damon had his eyes fixed on him.“Please! You have to give me that necklace!," Damon pleaded with him, sounding very desperate. "It's the only piece I have of my friends and family. Please, I beg you, let me have it.""Oh, this?," Zed smiled, dangling the necklace before him. "I never knew it's that important to you. Tell me, what door does it open?.""I can't tell you. Please just give it to me," he pleaded further.Zed shook his head. “I can’t do that, Damon.""Why?," he asked, look
It was Tom!Not just him!Damon caught him in discussion with Zed!"He still loves her," he heard him say to Zed."That's not possible!," he said, looking surprised. "He told me he wasn't going to stand in my way, and I believe him.""I swear on the alpha's life, Damon still loves Alicia. He may pretend not to, but he tells me every fucking thing. He is in love with her, you gotta believe me," Tom said, desperate for Zed to believe him."I don't believe you," Zed said, still not completely convinced."He is planning to attack you, just so have her all to himself. You must be ready, else you may have nothing to fight for.""Attack me!?," Zed asked, laughing. "He knows better not to even think of it. Don't worry, he is no match for me. I will see you later," he said and walked away, leaving Tom looking foolish.Damon was boiling with rage, his fist shaking as he watched Tom sell him out. He waited desperately until Zed left, leaving him alone with Tom."Hey, Tom," he said to him, just a
Alicia’s mind was consumed with thoughts of Damon and what Julie had told her the previous day. She felt torn between wanting to help Damon and remembering how he had denied her before her brother, Fidelis. But she couldn’t bear the thought of him rotting in a cage for something he didn’t do.At least, Julie said he wasn't.As the night wore on, she grew more and more restless. Even nature seemed not to have an idea how to help her. She tried to distract herself by reading a book, but her mind kept wandering back to Damon. She knew she had to do something to help him, but she didn’t know what.Before Damon came, she had never gotten into the alpha's bad books, but by always offering him support when no one else did, she had earned herself an unwanted tag before lord Cage…"That stranger would eventually tear us apart," he had told her.Earlier that day, she had gone to the alpha to plead for Damon's release."Father, you know that Tom is a liar," she began."What do you want?," he jus
Lord Cage was furious about Damon’s sudden disappearance. He had summoned Chamberlain, the head of the omegas, to question him about what he knew about Damon’s disappearance."My lord," he stammered, as the swordsman dragged him in. He looked like the typical church rat, who had been caught in a web and had nowhere to run to."Where is Damon?," lord Cage asked him."My lord, I swear on my blood, I have no idea where he is. Just like everyone, I woke up this morning to discover that he had escaped. Please, I know nothing about it," he said, looking jittery."You lie! You fucking knew he was going to escape, yet you let him! You fucking let him! You got stuck with the enemy and betrayed us! You will pay with your life! Guards!""Please, I beg you, spare my life. I have done no wrong," he pleaded.No matter what he said, the alpha wouldn't listen to him. Not even his advisor could make him change his mind. He ordered the guards to throw Chamberlain in the dark room and punish him until h
Alicia’s heart raced as she watched her brother, Fidelis, raise his hand to strike Damon. She knew that if he did, it would be the end of him. She stepped forward, her voice shaking as she begged him to spare Damon’s life. “Please, Fidelis,” she said, “he could be useful to us. We don’t have to kill him.”"What do you expect me to tell father, eh? I should tell him that he's right to think I'm not ready to take after him? Or that you've always been his anointed one, the one that will never break a sweat while executing his order? Tell me, Alicia, why shouldn't I prove to him that he's wrong about me?.""Please, I beg you, spare his life," she begged again. "He can be useful to us," she repeated.Zed, who had been standing silently by, as he observed carefully what seemed like a rift between them, stepped forward. “Useful?,” he spat. “You better tell me something that should make my heart break," he chuckled. "He’s a liability. Besides, he is better off dead, for his breath is of no us
"Here's my judgment!," he began, as he paused to take in the moment."This doesn't smell nice," Philip whispered to Frederick. He was really worried for Miguel."Father is going to kill him," Frederick, who looked equally as worried, said to him."We've got to stop him," Philip said, his fear palpable."We can't, and you know it," Frederick reminded him.He was right.Lord Zack was as ruthless as the word. When he got into his mood, he couldn't tell the difference between a son, friend, ally or foe, for everyone was the same in his eyes, as long as such crossed his path. He took so much pride in reminding everyone, including those who didn't care to listen, that he was the alpha who had killed his wife 'because she wouldn't obey me,' he would often say with the kind of pride an Olympic gold medalist wielded when dangling his medal before his audience. His words struck fear to the heart of those it was spoken to.Philip had often wondered how he came to be the son of such ruthless alph
