There was their king Kane and Modrich standing before them with the guards behind. King Kane's jaw dropped in shock as his daughter quickly scurry away from Zayn and covered herself with the duvet. His fears were confirmed, how dare he lay with the daughter he was protecting from men? Zayn on his path was frozen at that spot, this was the last thing he ever expected. He could see the disappointment on the face of his father who was too shocked to speak. King Modrich never believed his son would go to this extent. He trusted him and the last thing he expected was finding him unclad with their guest, not an ordinary guest, but the daughter of King Kane of Dakota Kingdom. "This was your plot all along" Aurora's father yelled loudly and turned to her as she looked down. He ordered with all fury written on his face "Pack your things. We're leaving" "We can resolve this" King Modrich finally found his voice. What was done was done but he hoped to fix it for the sake of the peace treat
Zayn was awakened that morning by the voice of August. His guard sounded outside his chamber. He dragged his feet lazily from the bed to the metal door which he opened."My Prince," he bowed gently and the prince beckoned at him to come in."Why are you here?" Zayn inquired as he grabbed a bottle of wine and poured the content into a cup. He didn't know when he slept off after Mia left last night but he was sure August must have come around to see him sleeping. There was no way he haven't heard the trending rumours yet, maybe he should stop referring to it as rumour since it was true, 100%."I'm your guard, My Prince""I guess I forget that every day of my life" He gulped in the wine and let down an empty cup. It was true though, the two had grown fond of each other that he(Zayn) sometimes forget that August was a guard sworn to protect the prince with his life. The prince would sometimes joke that he was the one protecting August instead and they would over it. He was much like a br
....Present.... Zayn managed to stagger to his feet and leaned against a close tree so he wouldn't fall. He takes off his torn shirt revealing his broad chest and perfect abs. "Wolves existing in what they call a human world, shocking!" He let out the statement in pain and rage. Slowly, he wiped off the blood from on his stomach with the cloth and there was a fresh wound wide open on his skin. "Damn it!" Zayn cursed under his breath and made to tie but paused hearing incoming footsteps. He wondered if the lady alpha had changed her mind and was returning to kill him. "Who's there?" A soft feminine voice sounded and he turned to see a blonde appear at the scene with a shotgun she aimed at him. He exhaled in relief seeing that it was not the one he expected. The wounded alpha was just too weak to engage in another fight but whoever this stranger was, he believed she wouldn't blow off his head with the weapon she was wielding. "Easy..." He spoke but that did not make her let down
The claim was that Zayn was responsible, he had killed the king with a silver dagger that no one knew where he got in from and so was imprisoned for later judgment. She(Queen Rita) would have come a long time ago but needed to clear her head first and attend to royal issues since the council of elders had decided that she become the queen regent until a new decision is reached. Queen Rita after a deep silence spoke "Leave us" There was a surprised look on the face of the guard who decided to question her authority without thinking twice "Your grace, I was instructed not to take my eyes off him" She wasn't the queen anymore as the king was dead and he was arrogant enough to... "I guess you've been holed up down here for long to know what goes on in the kingdom. I'm the queen regent and if you dare raise your voice at me again... Your head will be hung on a spike before evening. I promise" There was intense anger in her eyes which you didn't need to see because it could also be n
"Mother, this supports my claim about Silas being responsible. Ivory has never run from the palace, she's a loyal omega. He definitely killed her and hid her body to clear traces that lead to him"Rita paused for a moment before speaking "Do you have any other witness to speak for you?" "No one. August knows I wouldn't do such but just as you said mother. It's not about people knowing me, It's the pieces of evidence and they're all against me right now" He was pained that he fell into his uncle's trap that easily. Silas plotting the king's murder was something he never thought about once. he was a loyal friend and brother of the king. "Mother, can you talk to the council on his behalf before the trial tomorrow? explain things to them, " Mia asked knowing that it wasn't possible but she just wanted to help her brother. "You know I can't, Mia. No one is allowed to talk to the council about the trial before it commences, only after. Whatever needs to be talked about will be done durin
"Framed? Zayn Hendrixson, we would proceed to give you a hearing before the council of elders and the people of baridoki", five minutes "That was the usual practice, they let the accused speak first before the witness and Zayn's case would be no different. Tyrrell had his seat among the other elders and tilt his head to hear the accused prince speak. Zayn took a deep breath and looked into the several eyes in the hall. All he could see was pure hatred for him and at that moment, his worst fears could become true. The people not believing him but this wasn't theirs to decide. It was the council of elder wolves. He quickly realized he had only five minutes to speak before he stopped. It was normally ten minutes and above, why was it different this time? "I thank you for allowing me to speak... To clear myself of my... the crime I'm accused of. First of all, if I wanted to kill the king, that's the most insane way to go..." There was loud murmuring from the crowd and he wasn't sure i
Zayn was dragged out to the waiting four-wheeled carriage that had ropes connected to two horses. The coachman was already on his seat and turned to see the warriors bring the banished prince. "We can't stay here for long, there's an angry crowd behind" One of the warriors informed the coachman who nodded and helped to put Zayn in the carriage where he sat on a fine oak seat that was decorated with gold. Two warriors sat at opposite sides with him at the centre and the coachman ahead then wriggled the ropes notifying the horses to move. They did obey and with their pulling strength, the carriage was wheeled away at a rough but quick pace.Zayn shut his eyes tightly trying to cope with the pictures that his brain was bringing up. He could see his mother in pain again asking to see her son. The council was bribed and they did not even try to hide it. A sentence was passed on him without proper consideration of the facts. No witness was even brought up to support the accusations that
There was Zayn in the old 1979 Chevrolet C10 truck that was been driven on the deserted tarred road by Stephen Jones who handled the wheel expertly.Stephen Jones was the man who rescued him from the ocean two days ago. He(Zayn) had mysteriously found himself in the waters after falling off the cliff with a stab injury.The compassionate man had made sure to take care of the nasty wound and stitched him up. Zayn wasn't healing at that time because it was inflicted by silver, the weapon that was capable of killing a werewolf like him. Here he was now in a new world that was completely different from his. He looked out of the window to see the architectural buildings around and that which amazed him the most was the skyscrapers. Stephen had taken Zayn into his house to live with him since he claimed he didn't remember anything but that was Zayn's lie to save himself from questions that could alarm the man that he was different. The Banished prince knew that he was in a place that wa
