Moments passed before Ruckus was done with his pleasure hunt. He lay on the bed and watched Jael dress up. " I guess this will be the last I will see you for another couple of days. " Jael said , packing her hair behind. Ruckus giggled. " Would you want this juicy moment to take many days before it comes again?" " Well, if I were to choose, I would be here every night till I have had enough that will last for years. " " That would probably take forever to have that much. " Ruckus mused. " Anyway, I hope you still remember the assignment. " Jael glanced at him and smiled. " Do you think I would forget something like that?" " I believe you won't." " It is as important to you as it is to me. " Jael replied. " When you have ascended the throne, there would be no need for me to wait for days to set my eyes on you. I will be with you always, then. " " Just do the right thing, Jael. Do it as fast as you can. I am an impatient man." " You don't need to remind me of that. " She began
A couple of moments had passed already. Yet Derek could not bring himself any other thoughts except the two that already occupied his mind. Not long ago, all he had to think and imagine was the strange intruder into the borders of the dead valley pack who now identified herself as Sophia. But now, there was another thought seated right in his memory. It had to be the case of the man with no identity. He was torn between two thoughts. A part of him which was now the softie would want to cling unto the little time of ease he had spent in the embrace of the strange girl called Sophia while the other part of him wanted to maintain his vicious nature. No doubt that Derek was revered by all his people. The one thing people could not do was stand before him with no single traces of fear. Even a man as huge as Vieira had his reservations the moment it came down to his relationship with him. Though the both of them already had a long way behind their past and Vieira was the only one who knew a
In the next couple of moments, Derek was storming towards the former chamber of the alpha king. After he had ascended the throne of the dead valley pack, he erected a mighty building as the dwelling place of alpha kings. To a layman who could not see beyond his ambiguous nature, he was probably trying to be that powerful and appear as high as he looked. Yeah. Anyone who saw the design of the structure would definitely think the same way. However, there was another reason others could not see . Derek had refused to spend his nights and times of rest in the former chamber of the Alpha Kings not because he simply wanted to seem that high and powerful. Rather, he had memories that he did not want to remember. The chamber of the former alpha king, his father, held so many of those memories. In the confines of the damned room, he had witnessed the death of his mother. He had seen her draw her last breath in the hands of a man he did not know. That man was definitely not a member of their pa
Sophia idled on the comfort of the bed , dragging the bedspread to cover all her body. She was all smiles. This still felt unreal even though it was very real. How could she be the one waking up every single moment she slept on the comfort of a large bed. Sleeping in such a comfortable zone made her realize better how pathetic that attic she used to sleep in was. Taking the bedspread to one side, she crept out of the bed and walked to the mirror that was in the room. Her body was really transforming into what she could not explain. Was she really that pretty? The skin of her arms had completely healed. Now, the traces of the hardship she had been through were almost out. The smoothness that now replaced the once harsh and rugged body of hers was rather mesmerizing for her small head to comprehend. Turning herself around, she looked over her shoulders through the mirror. The marks from the lashes she had received prior to the escape run were equally disappearing. With every passing mom
Derek had not left the former alpha king's chamber . He was no longer with his right senses. His eyes glared . The siren red glow of his alpha eyes were very evident through the darkness of the entire chamber. Every corner of it was plunged into deep darkness. The only trace of light was the siren red glow that came from.his eyes. He gnarled his teeth with fangs that were rightly jolted out of his blood filled mouth parts. The stench of blood had consumed him. Right now, what he saw was no longer the current reality he had. Rather, he could see the same little boy that had been consumed by his own rage. The same rage that had taken over him when he was still a youngling still had its way through him. In his date of fury, he had killed up to fifteen men already in addition to seven that were brutally injured, excluding his right hand man, Vieira. Vieira knew what he was afraid of. He knew something of this sort was going to happen the moment Derek made up his mind to go there by himsel
Ruckus and her father were still seated at a place in the alpha king's chamber . Time had passed a lot already. But there was still not even a single sign of Badmus and his men. Ruckus was beginning to get anxious and very worried about the situation. Where did the damn path lead to? He wanted to just burst through it and see for himself. But on second thought, he knew better not to attempt anything funny. If Badmus and all the men that entered there with him had not yet come out, then it could mean that the route was not safe after all. Or maybe the treasure that may be behind the door was too much for them to carry some of it. Yes. They could be it. He smiled foolishly. " You seem so excited , son. " His father said, stealing a glance at him. " Am I not allowed to at least be excited for myself?" Ruckus asked. " Of course, you can. But I have a question for you. " " Question? What question do you have for me, father?"" I can say that the reason you were smoking that much was be
Derek and his right hand man, Vieira stood and watched the healer as she applied certain herbs medicine on the belly of Sophia. Derek had still not transformed to his normal form. His eyes were still siren red and his claws were yet to return to their resting place. However, he was in his right senses. Partly in his right senses. The fury that was in him had still not gone down. But the moment he pierced the belly of Sophia, he had a touch of sanity. He had killed fifteen men without flinching. Seven were seriously injured. In fact, Vieira was yet to heal from the wound that Derek's claws had caused him. But the moment he struck Sophia, a wave of ice washed through the rage he felt. He had paused for a while, staring into the eyes of the beautiful soul as she slowly fell to the ground . Derek could not help but stare at her with their eyes locked together. The lady word of Sophia before draining into unconsciousness was still echoing in the head of Derek.." Derek." Sophia had outrig
Jael could not help but smile sheepishly in her room. She dragged a chair to the mirror and sat down before it. The smiles of a soon to be Luna was all over her face. The ecstatic fragrance of a queen in the Red moon pack was just all over her. In fact, the only thing that remained was the formal coronation for her to be called the Luna of the pack. At the moment already, everyone or almost everyone in the pack submitted to her. She knew what they were after. They all wanted to get on the good side of the next Luna. If not for any other thing, to get the protection and little favors that a Luna could offer was of great importance to them all. Moreover, to be tagged as the friend of a Luna in any pack was something cool to the ears. It took special grace to even have anything serious to do with a member of the royal bloodline. And soon, she will be a part of that line of ancestry. Getting close to Ruckus was one hell of a struggle. Though, not a total struggle. What Ruckus felt for her
