~Autumn~
I geared up to go with Ian to my father. After this visit, I bet I will be free from my father’s pester. I met Ian outside my room. “Shall we?” he asked.“Sure,” I accepted and we headed on.We reached my father’s room. He was writing, seated behind his desk. He raised his eyes to us as we entered.“Greetings, Father,” I greeted.“Hello, sir,” Ian saluted. Father stood up and moved to us.“Now you did the right thing, Autumn,” Father smiled. “You are welcome, son, come on, come tell me about yourself,” Father said, leading us to the three sets of couches at the corner of the room. We sat down, I entwined my hand into Ian’s. He looked at me and turned to Father. “Tell me, son, who are you and where are you from?”“My name is Ian Blake from Newmoon Pack. The only son of Edward Blake and the grandson of Gamma Hagan,” Ian introduced himself.“You don’t say,” Father adjusted on his seat. “You mean you are EIt was late in the night when I woke up. I saw Ian writing on my desk. “Hey!” I exclaimed. He looked at me.“You are awake,” he smiled. I yawned.“What are you doing?” I asked, getting down from the bed.“Just writing and waiting for you to wake up,” he replied. I reached behind him and placed my hand on his shoulder.“I must have kept you waiting too long, right?” I pouted.“Not too long. It’s your stubbornness that got you awake by this time. Why didn’t you continue sleeping till tomorrow?” he teased.“I didn’t wake myself up, did I?” I let out, heading back to the bed.“Now that you are awake and you have seen me. Can I go?” he asked, standing up.“Go? Don’t you know what the time is saying? How can you leave me here all night alone when you know I won’t be able to fall asleep easily after waking up now?” I whined.“You want me to guard you all night?” he asked.“That’s what you promised Fat
“What are you doing, Lucian?!” I queried, taunted.“What I should have done a long time ago,” Lucian let out and grabbed my hand.“Let her go!” Russell groaned, pushing Lucian back from me. He couldn’t use his powers anymore, so he was only left with his human strength. My heart pounded heavily as a fight started between the men. Not just Russell and Lucian but with all the soldiers, leaving Russell to take on them alone.“Lucian! Stop this madness!” I screamed, and among the screeching of the swords, my voice faded out. Just then, a mass of smoke clouded the fighting scene. From the smoke appeared other demons in the range of twenty, all glaring with red eyes.“Why are you all here, Joe?” Russell queried one of them as the wolven warriors shielded themselves.“I followed you up, my prince, and when I discovered you were in trouble, I summoned other soldiers. The others wouldn’t come because of Mateo’s warnings,” Joe explained.“
~Lucian~“Burn him!” I ordered. One of the remaining demons charged at me with a speedy force that got me standing confused. Before he could reach me, he was flown into the air, thudding heavily on the ground. From the smoky force that pulled down the soldier appeared a man. His regal attire flowed behind him. His eyes darted back and forth.“I will take it from here,” the man said.“He is mine, I will do as I please with him,” I stood my ground. He stared mutely at me before a smile appeared on his face.“Come on dear friend, I’m on your side here. In short, you deserve applause for a job well done. This is a task I couldn’t accomplish over the years and you did it in a twinkle of an eye. Impressive. But I will implore you to allow me to burn his body, at least, I should play a part in his death too,” the man stated. I found myself succumbing to his desire. And looking at my men, no one was ready to burn a demon.“Fine. Keep him out of m
~Autumn~I couldn’t sleep over the night, Ian was stuck in my head. Why didn’t he come to see me? Did he go to war with them? I dressed up quickly and hurried down to his room. I placed several knocks on the door, no response. I kicked the door open and stormed in. No one was there. I searched the bathroom too. My shoulders deflated. Did he eventually return to his pack? How can he mark me and leave just like that? I left his room and walked along the hallway, feeling down. Father came up my way.“Autumn?” he called softly. I lifted my gaze to him. “What’s the matter? Why are you sad?”“It’s nothing, Father, I’m fine,” I faked out a smile.“But you don’t look fine to me.”“Trust me, Father, I am fine,” I insisted.“If you say so. I was heading to your room to tell you that Ian is at the pack hospital receiving treatment.”“What?! What happened to him!” I exclaimed, taunted.“He was at the battlefield yesterday a
Meanwhile, in a distant land lies Russell, black and unconscious. A beautiful, young lady came along playfully to a well side when she saw him. She cowered back, having almost stepped on him. She gradually took a step forward, looking around to see if anyone was watching. She stooped and touched his leg, jerking away her hand in fear. “Oh, dear God, what is all this?” she lamented. “He is still breathing, he must be alive,” she convinced herself and touched his leg again. She watched him move a finger and she gasped. “What do I do? What should I do? Mother!” she cried, tapping her forehead. She ran back home. Returning with her brother, they helped Russell to their house, a small bungalow on a field. They lay him down in the guest room and an elderly woman, their mother began treating him with herbs.“Where did you find him, Ruby?” the elderly woman asked the lady.“At the well, Mother, I saw him lying beside the well unconscious. What do you think happen
Ruby brought food for Russell and sat with him while he ate. She stamped her feet constantly on the floor, biting her lower lip and clutching her dress under the table.“Are you fine?” Russell asked. She feigned a smile. Russell focused and continued eating.“Ahem! Um, please, who are you?” she asked.“I don’t know, I don’t think I remember anything,” he lied.“Huh? Do you remember nothing? Not even your name?” she queried curiously.“No, Miss, I remember nothing,” he stopped eating, looking sad. “I thought you were my family. You don’t know me?”“No, uh, I mean, yes, I found you at the well side, lying halfdead. It’s a pity you don’t remember anything, not even what happened to you?” she stated and sighed. “Anyway, you will be fine. We are your family now, okay?” she instinctively placed her hand on his.“We?” Russell repeated, confused.“Oh, yes, my mom and brother, they went out, they will be back soon.”
~Autumn~I helped Ian back to his room. His wound healed quickly but he was still weak. “I can walk by myself, Miss Fury Autumn,” he insisted.“Does it matter?” I commented, leading him to the couch. “You are frail yet proud. Stop acting like a hero or you will die in a twinkle of an eye.”“I will be happy to die in your arms, Miss Fury Autumn,” he declared and I sat him down. He pulled me back on him and wrapped his arms around me, pinning me to his body.“What are you doing, Ian?” I struggled.“You still haven’t answered my question from last time.”“What question?”“Are you still a virgin?” he asked. I clenched my jaw and tried to pull away from him but he was too strong. Despite his weakness, he was still strong enough to keep me in place.“Let me go, Ian, is it a must I answer your silly question?”“Then I assume you are no longer a virgin, Miss Fury Autumn,” he whispered. “And I can have you even
~Cora~Since Jennifer refused to return to her room, I decided to go check who the lady was. I have lived in Newmoon Pack for a long time now, I should know her. I opened the door without notification and saw them. She was crying and he was consoling her. Their eyes turned to me.“Uh, um, I’m sorry,” I apologized. “I was looking for the Luna, Alpha. Where is she, please?” I asked pretentiously, taking a closer look at the lady. She glared at me. She isn’t a member of Newmoon pack.“Jenny?” Bryson mentioned, standing up. The lady held his hand. “You didn’t see Jenny, Cora?” he asked. Worriedness laced his voice.“I… I was looking for her too,” I feigned.“Come on, let’s go find her,” Bryson said. Trying to walk, the lady pulled him back.“How can you leave me, Bryson?” her voice broke into a cry. “If you go, I will commit suicide. I will die with our child,” she threatened.“Don’t say that, Naomi. Okay, I won’t go,” he de
