Sage climbed on the steps of the reservoir bit by bit, hoping he got what he came from. He got to the top of the stairs and turned to open the only available door. As he moved inside, he saw himself walking into what seemed like someone's sitting room. At first, he thought he had been misled by the ladies but then he decided to move fully into the room. Just when he got to the middle of the sitting room, he was a little girl about ten years old sitting on a couch reading a book. The girl who felt his figure raised her head to look at him. She smiled when their faces met and Sage returned his smile. "Uhm… Sorry to barge into your home this way, I came looking for someone," Sage apologized and the girl stood up to meet him."You're looking for my dad, the Seer, right?" she questioned, gawking at him. "Oh! Your dad? Yes, I'm looking for the Seer who lived here," he answered, realizing the girl was the daughter of a Seer. "Come with me," she beckoned to him and Sage did as told. He fo

Sage stomped his way to his father's house. He was upset that Aurora wouldn't trust him with whatever he was planning to do. His anger grew when he knew he couldn't explain the reason he had gone out of the pack. He thought of how a lady could have such a temper and refuse to listen to her Alpha. He had tried his best to prevent her from getting angry with him with the marbles of her not telling him she would leave him. He knew not informing her anything about his plans was wrong especially when she gets to know about it but he wanted to get into it so in case she found out, she wouldn't be able to stop him. He finally made use of his inhumane speed and got to his house in no time. He pushed on the gate and hurried into the sitting room. "Mother!" he called and he got a response immediately. He traced her scent that led him to his room. He heaved a heavy breath when he got into his room seeing his mother cleaned his room. He sauntered to her and gave her a back hug nudging his head o

The laughter was deafening. They seemed to be making a mockery of his unsuccessful attempts to beat his trainer. He sat still on the floor, trying to get over what he had just witnessed."What the heck just happened?" he managed to utter his first post-defeat words, looking at Rae.Managing a grim smile, Rae reminded him how he had warned him to be on his toes whilst being trained by her."You can't say I didn't tell you.""But I didn't see that coming!" he protested."What is rule number one?""You must always be on your guard. Your enemy will never give you a cooling break," he struggled to complete it, looking down."I'm glad you remember what she said. You better get up," he said, drawing his attention to Aurora and the rest of the pack who was fast approaching them."Get up, Alpha," Rae told him again. He was more worried about Sage's reputation before the pack than any other thing.On the other hand, Sage was more concerned about catching his breath than getting up. What was the

While Sage patiently waited for Aurora to finish cooking, he suddenly sensed someone jabbing into his thoughts and instantly, he opened his mind link for the person. "You should check on Alpha Cowell, right now, Alpha," Beta Rae conceded to him and Sage knew something might have gone wrong. He sprang up hurriedly and was about to tell Aurora that he needed to see the Alpha but since he knew she was tired and might get worried, he decided to leave and return later. He carefully left the chamber and made his way to the Alpha's chamber. He couldn't tell why his heart was racing but he decided to be calm with it. He got to Alpha Cowell's chamber and stood unnoticed by the door as he helplessly heard him cough long and hard.His mind drifted to the research he had carried out about the Alpha's illness. He did not need to be a doctor to know that every passing day of his hardheartedness brought him closer to death. His heart hurt remembering that.Every senior wolf of the Lock Heart Pack

He just couldn't sleep, his eyes as open as daylight. The more he tried to close them, the more they refused to."I feel lonely, even when you are around. That's because you have been acting strange to me lately. Sage, do you love me?" Her voice had played in his head for the umpteenth time. The more he tried to downplay what she had said, the more worried and restless he was.He was worried that his refusal to tell her what he was keeping away from her was beginning to affect their relationship and that there was nothing he could do about it."Damn it!" he cursed.Just then, Aurora walked in, looking a lot calmer than she was a few minutes ago. She sat by the edge of the bed, looking directly at him. He looked away.…and then she began…"I know you think I'm stubborn and that I am probably too naive to understand what…""Oh, no, Aurora, you are not naive and I will never think of you as one," he cut in."Then what is it?!""You won't understand, at least, not now. My love_""Oh, spa
