It was a long journey from the Lock Hearts pack to the Autumn pack. They had left their pack around 7 pm and arrived at Autumn's pack by 8 am. Typically, they weren't supposed to spend more than six hours but because it was from dusk to dawn, they had to relax and sleep for some hours. They headed straight to the pack building with Autumn fighters surrounding them to protect their pack from being attacked. However, the Lock Hearts pack weren't there to formulate violence instead they had gone to build peace between the two packs. Either way, they still wouldn't fight since the Lock Hearts pack wasn't as much as the Autumn pack so, they could be defeated easily. Rae, Sage and Aurora walked at the front and about ten pack fighters followed behind while the remaining four Gammas strode at the back in case there was any attack from behind, they would be the ones to secure the rest. Not long, they finally arrived at the pack building and were ushered into the pack hall. Sitting graceful
Sage watched Gwen as he treated Aurora, putting mixed concoctions on top of her wound while she winced in pain. She had tried to heal up but the wound was too intense, causing her wolf to weaken and unable to rehabilitate. Sage had carried her down to his room, immediately after they got back from their journey. He had also called the healer, Gwen, to attend to her forthwith. "Do you feel any internal pain?" Gwen asked and she scoffed at him. Why wouldn't she feel pain? Wasn't he aware the blade had twitched her deep?"You adding the concoctions made it worse." She replied with a whimper. This was her first time getting a deep wound and it felt like hell for her. "Try making your wolf heal you." Gwen proposed but received a growl from Sage. "How do you expect them to heal? Can't you see they are trying their best!" Sage snapped, winning a suspicious glance from Gwen. Hope it was not what he was thinking about. Sage moved closer to Aurora, bent and placed his hands on her head, "Yo
Alpha Cowell summoned the shifters that have gone to the neighbourhood pack to question them about the assassin since he already suspected that Autumn pack might have something to do with it, but why would they make such an attack?"They hide their scent and they were trained assassins. None of them dared to shift." Rae delivered as they all bowed to their King who was sitting on a couch in his chamber, Beta Craig standing beside him. "How many were they?" Alpha Cowell asked with outrage. He just couldn't believe an assault would happen when they went to cultivate peace. It was unruly."About thirty of them," Rae conveyed and Alpha Cowell hit his fist against the couch, furiously. Beta Craig inquired, "Describe their dressing, fight skills and how they talked.""None of them said a word apart from their groans. Their skills were unmatched by ours, making them flee. I noticed all the ones left didn't even breathe and I suspect they killed themselves so we wouldn't have anyone to ques
Sitting down on the couch in his room, he used his hands to ruffle his hair. The fact that he couldn't have Aurora out of his head was driving him crazy. What more could he ask for? Aurora was his real mate, why was he being punished? Is it the same way it felt to everyone who found their mate? Why was he different from others? Why would Aurora punish him that way? At that moment, he was fed up. He had tried discussing it with her yet she turned down all his questions. She wouldn't even give him a clue about why she was refusing to see her mate. Maybe if he knew a little of it, he would know how to adjust himself. It looked like he was a bad person who would mate with her.Slowly and steadily he finally stood up from the armchair he sat on for close to an hour and made his way downstairs. He smelled his mother's scent in the kitchen, then he headed there. He stood at the kitchen door and rested his body against the door watching his mom as she went about preparing their dinner. Zara
"Where are you going?" Sora asked Aurora immediately she spotted her running down the stairs that led to their garage. Aurora mind-linked Sora, "I'm going for a run." She lied."Again? How many times do you have to run in a day?" Sora asked again through a mind link since Aurora wasn't in sight."I need to do something, Mrs Horatio," she proclaimed, already inside the garage. "I'll be back soon.""Be careful," Sora warned worriedly. Her granddaughter had been staying out late for the past few days which she never did. Before dusk, Aurora was already in her room locked up unless she needed to do something as a leader to the pack fighters but it seems her time to return home had changed. Aurora on her own had been called out by Sage and she had merrily jumped out of her bed even when she had returned from a run a few hours before he called. She took the garage to convince Sora that she was truly going for a run. She got to the garage and hurried out down to her cottage gate. There she
Beta Craig watched as his best friend returned to the bed gloomily, his face sore. His skin was pale, his mouth dropping, eyelids hanging and red stealing its way to the corner of his eyes. He looked terrible. "I should call Gwen, you are unwell, Cowell," Beta Craig suggested as he moved to sit beside him. King Cowell shook his head disapprovingly and signalled Craig with his hands to come nearer. Beta Craig did and sat down close to him, "There's nothing Gwen can do only to keep filling me up with his concoctions." King Cowell laughed but Beta Craig was serious. "We can get you one of the powerful healers, you'll be well," Beta Craig uttered painfully. He wasn't ready to lose his precious friend.King Cowell took his hands and squeezed them under his own, he mumbled, "Have you forgotten I can't be cured? You don't have to worry Craig as long as you're here beside me, I'm sure I'll stay healthy."Beta Craig unlocked his hands from the King's grip and wrapped his hands around the ki
"Why did he stop?" Aurora kept wondering why Sage had stopped when he was just a little bit to claim her. She groaned and rolled on her bed. It was morning but she felt herself drawing closer to her bed. She felt weak and tired thinking of Sage. He wouldn't claim her. Was he having fun with her conscience? She had agreed to be his boyfriend which was an arduous decision she'd made and yet, he wouldn't show his love to her as he'd promised. Was he lying all along? Or he remembered she wasn't his mate. His mother has appeared, does it mean, she didn't want Sage to claim her all because she wasn't his mate? A drop of water fell from the core of her eyes. Why was her's different? She couldn't have a mate, yet, she wouldn't be mated to anyone. Was that all she had gotten from denying her mate who would kill her the minute he claimed her? With a heavy heart, she stood up and went to her dresser, looking into the mirror at her reflector. Her eyes had protruded since she'd cried over the n
Aurora smelled Sage from where she stood listening to the King's message to those present in the Academy. She tried hard not to track the scent but she when she couldn't take it for too long, she leapt up from her seat and traced the scent. Sage saw her looking all over for him but he wasn't ready to meet with her. After his discussion with his mother about her meeting the seer, he tried his best to avoid her. But it was hard for him too. Just then he heard her mind link him, "Sage please show yourself," she conveyed, still trying to trace his scent. He fists his hands into a ball. He wasn't ready to face her but staying away from her could be the worst for him. He groaned, turned back and made his way back through the entrance. He stopped at an abrupt end when he smelled her closer. He raised his head a little bit only to see her standing some meters away, folding her hands over her bosom. With the look in her eyes, he knew she was already angry. "Why are you here?" She inquired
