Through the window of Sophia's room, the rays of the full moon could make their way to her eyes. She had purposely left it open to feel the warmth that came from it. The brightness of the moon was very luring. She lay on her bed with every part of her body well covered under the duvet except her face. Her eyes were shut and she was asleep. Not totally asleep but partly conscious of what was going on around her. Soon enough, the warmth of the duvet began to drive her into real sleep. For a reason she could not seem to come up with any sort of explanations to, every moment she had spent staring at the full moon served as a reminder of the red moon pack. There was a pull. A sort of voice that was drawing her back to her pack. But for what reason?She had no explanations for them. She lay on her bed , deep in sleep when the voices began to replay in her thoughts again. " The weed." She was discussing the weed with her mother this time. She had gone to tell her mother about the teachin
At the open field where the event was taking place , the crowd had been expecting to see the alpha king. But he was just not coming around. No one had seen him since the event started. There were a good number of fires that had full fledged meats roasting on them. The merriment was going on. The moon goddess was done with other people. She was now patiently waiting for the alpha king to show up , that is if he had intentions to do that. She had an overall gown that was made of two colors; red and black colors. The two colors ran vertically through the gown , dividing the gown into two different parts like it was some sort of flag . Her hair was well weaved and decorated with very big beads and certain kinds of ribbons that gave her a mysterious look . Her eyes had black markings below them. Her look was that of a serious woman. Anyway, she was serious , just like the office that she occupied in the pack. Being a moon goddess was more than anyone could just think about. She stood on t
Sophia and Vieira were getting closer to the field. From where they were at the moment, they could see the smoke coming from the fire. Just one thing was odd to Sophia. When she was lying down on the bed, she could hear the chants and shouts of so many voices that seemed to be very happy at the event. But then, it appeared to be the opposite of it that was happening right now. The closer they got, the more silent the whole place seemed to get. That was odd, highly odd. " Vieira. " She said. " Yes. " Vieira responded with his gait still remaining straight and his gaze still focused straight on the road. His legs were moving at a constant pace that Sophia could tell came from his training as a guard in the pack. " How long have you known him?" " You mean Derek." " Yes, I mean him. " " Well, I can't even say . I don't know anything about that."" I don't understand. About what?"" I mean keeping the dates I met with people. All I can say is that I have really spent a good number of
A couple of days had passed since Ruckus slashed the life out of his father's throat. The dude was basically sitting on the head of every fellow that was in the pack. So much respect was given to him, if not fear. People now feared him more than they feared his father. The members of the council had greater fear than the people who were assumed to be very common. No one had expected the type of string he had pulled. On purpose, he had leaked the plan of him having to poison the drink of his father simply to get him to hear it. It was a bait , a good enough bait which the old geezer had bitten. It eventually drove him to a forced death. Ruckus stood in his chamber, seated on the throne he had built for himself without having to feel the urge to sit on a real throne. He knew that eventually, he was going to sit on the throne, the real throne. In fact, the throne he now sat on could be termed real now. After all, he was the alpha king now, though not officially made alpha king. But it wa
The day at the dead valley pack was full of tension. It had been like that for the past couple of days. After the incident that happened after Sophia was named the Luna of the pack, there had been so many talks and murmurs about it. But that was not the problem of Derek. All he really wanted was for his Luna, Sophia, to get up from the bed where she lay. Seeing her lying down again was like having a dagger being pierced through his heart. It hurt him so badly. The thought of the number of times that she had had to go through pain all because of him was just heavily impinging on his thoughts. But at the same time, he was troubled, troubled at the word that Sophia had let out of her mouth. " Mom." That was it. No matter how much he had to think and think about it, it still did not make any proper sense to him. Why would she call that woman her mom? It had to be for no other reason. Perhaps, the pain that coursed through her body had affected her thoughts at that particular point in t
Sophia was still lying down. In her thoughts, another shard of her memory was playing out clearly. She had been in the alpha king's chamber of the red moon pack. With her was the lady she did not know but now knows. It was the same lady that had come to her in the pack after she had met with the vicious father of Lord Ruckus, the then alpha king, who had tried to recognize her identity . When she had escaped through the hidden route, they had ended up through one of those routes in the hidden path to come outside the borders of the red moon pack. Not just were they out of the borders of the red moon pack, but that they had walked into a chamber where she had met with the supposed Luna of the pack. That pack was the dead valley pack. " Urgh. " She winced in pain . Her head hurt like it was eventually going to fall.off. Her thoughts jumped through time to a point when she had ended up in the woods with the lady who had helped her to escape the danger that lurked at home. " Are you sa
Days had passed already. Ruckus was no longer addressed as lord Ruckus but now called alpha King Ruckus. The sudden change in the way people addressed him was mor3 reason for him to be healthier with every moment of his life that passed. About four days ago, the remaining things that he needed were moved from his former chamber to his current place which was the chamber for an alpha king. In his thoughts, he yearned to really move the chamber to somewhere else. It was fitting for his ego to spend his moments of rest in a chamber that had been used over and over again by other alpha kings. The packs always held a common ideology about ancient things. Like it's believed with the ancient look of the tomb that upholding the ancient stuff ensured purity . All those were gibberish in his sight. They made no sense to him. The pack had modern things but many people were bent on using the ancient ways . This made him angry. It was very irritating to think of such things. First, he had given th
After the incident days ago that pushed Sophia to the truth of her past, her world had become a total mess. Here she was, locked up in the room she had always occupied in the house of the healer. No one had locked her. She did it herself. She had completely blocked everyone out with no intentions to let a single person in. For the past couple of days, she had been a shadow of herself. Her world , she knew, was spinning but there was no one to stop it. The thought that her father had been in the same pack with her all this while was troubling her. It was too much to hear. He had seen the man at the point of death. His words never stopped echoing in her head. How could it have happened this way? Fate was cruel to her. Extremely cruel to her . Throughout her life, it has always been from one problem to the other. Just the little while she had had to be happy , her fate ruined it completely. The very alpha king she had gladly accepted to be her mate was the person that put an end to the l
