MITCH CHESTER "WHAT DOES TERRY want this time?" Lorna asked, walking beside Mitch.He shrugged. "You know how he is, and his theatrics." He turned and saw that Terry still stood in the heavy wind, Draco stood with him. "It's probably nothing."Lorna followed his gaze and shook her head subtly. "It seems to be more than nothing," she said. "I think this time you should take him seriously. I could go and pick the kids while you men discuss."Mitch scoffed. "No.""But your Highness -""I said No!" She bowed her head in submission and nodded. "You can hang out with them after school..." Mitch said as a guard opened the garage for him. He got into one of the cars.Lorna placed a hand on the window. "I think Terry isn't bluffing." She said in a low tone. "I woke up with a dreadful chill this morning."Mitch snorted. "We are in the ice mountains, waking up with a chill isn't something that is unusual...""It's not that.""Then maybe you have caught the plague," Mitch's lips rose in a smil

MITCH CHESTERMITCH PORED OVER the large map spread out on the table. The map included the human community down below, his kingdom which extended into the mountains, and the packs closest to him. He was trying to plot a direction from any of the packs nearby that would lead them to the Northern Border. There was none, and it was making Mitch frustrated.A knock sounded on his door. He grunted. He had told Draco to take a day off and spend time with his mate.The door opened silently and Lorna came in. Mitch sighed, leaned back, and watched as she approached. On closer inspection, it was like her face was more lined than usual like the old age was finally catching up to her."What happened to you?" Mitch snorted. "You look like you aged 100 years in 2 days."She nodded and sat down opposite him. "I made contact with my sisters..."Mitch's face dawned with concern. That contact and communication would sap Lorna of her energy. No doubt that that was why she was looking like an old husk o

ANNA KYLIN CHESTERTHE HIGH PITCHED WHINE of the monitor was as loud and heavy as a blanketed silence. It was like the other patients also stopped breathing."Are you alright, Doctor?" The faraway voice of the nurse asked. She came to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Doctor Anna, can you hear me?"I then realized that the high-pitched whine wasn't from any machine, it was from my head."Hey!" The nurse called. "Give me a hand over here."The whine reduced and my vision became clearer. "I'm fine - I'm fine..." I started to pull away but the nurse held me firm."Are you sure?" She asked. "You look very pale. You should sit down,"Some other nurses came to assist me as I headed out. Doctor Marcus's haze glinted as he looked at me. "Probably her first death!" He scoffed. "Amateur!"I wanted to take his head. But I didn't want to frighten the human nurses assisting me... and deep down, I knew he was right. This was my first time experiencing the death of a patient or case I was handli

ANNA KYLIN CHESTER LISTENING TO THE shrill voice of my sister had been starting to get on my nerves, but I was feeling numb so I let her keep on ranting, trying to rile the crowd up against me. I was prepared to let her exhaust herself out, but then, to my surprise, Rick came out and defended me. I gave a small pat of appreciation to the nurse who had spoken up for me, then I walked away. The crowd shuffled away nervously, making a wide path for me as I walked past them, and I smiled inwardly. Beth seemed to have forgotten something - I was also Luna with an even stronger root to this pack than she was.I could hear Rick following me as I went to my suite at the inn where I was staying. I unlocked the door and entered. Sure enough, a few seconds later, Rick came in after me."Thank you for what you did," I said.He shrugged. "I could not have them start to disrespect you..." he said. "That was what Beth wanted to achieve."I chuckled. Beth wanted something more than disrespect to me

MITCH CHESTER"YOU KNOW YOU don't have to do this alone," Draco muttered.Mitch shrugged as he zipped up his overcoat. One that he wouldn't be needing. "So what, I should take you and half of my army for a mountain climb? I don't think so." He shook his hair out of his face and packed it with a rubber band. He grabbed some hiking knives and stuck them at different parts of his gear before walking out."That's not what I mean," Draco argued, following Mitch. "I just think that it would be better if you don't go alone.""It would make you sleep better at night, you mean." Mitch chuckled. He looked around the kingdom, many of his subjects were oblivious to what was happening, and they just went about their daily lives. He had not even told the senate elders of the kingdom about anything - either from Terry's suspicion to Lorna's contact with her sister and their conclusion. They didn't even know Lorna's true identity.Over the centuries, many of the elders were still old-fashioned wolves.
