King Eric searched through the drawers of his son's study. His son had told him all that he knew and how he was able to carry out the mating but he wanted to have the books in his hands and so he was here searching the study. He needed to get the book to have a detailed understanding. Even though the prince had told his father the book had missing chapters, the selfish king still wanted it in his hands. After his arrival, he had made his son tell him about all he knew about the werewolves. The prince had told his father all he knew but what the new werewolf king didn't know was that he father was planning on a war. Angry, King Eric flipped the small cabinet next to the king's seat. He had been searching for the book for over an hour and there was no sign he was going to find it. He huffed and moved to the door. He opened the door and called the two guards who were in the look out. Both guards came in and started to search for the book right away. They explored the large study, maki
Lily rose early in the morning and rushed to the forest. For the past few days she had been waking early and coming to this spot, hoping that the quiet and calm would bring about another transformation for her. She hadn't transformed since that night after speaking rashly with the high priestess without a clear head and it made her feel incomplete. Like she was lacking something vital that made her her. And she feared that she won't ever be able to transform. It might be because she had stared in horror the first time. Or maybe it was how she cursed out when the pains came, but the second time hadn't been as terrible as the first and she needed it back. That pain was better than the hurt in her heart. She sat beneath the tree that she had met the spirit days ago and looked around, wondering if anyone would know that something drastic happened on this very ground in one trudged up here. There was nothing special about this place and yet, she felt like she had truly changed and been
"Such a wicked man.""And to think he had been staying right under our noses.""... Peelah had been attached to him like a shadow.""I heard that he joined in on the revelry. Such an evil soul."Lily could hear the words ringing in her head and she hunched over, squeezing her head between her knees. She had gone to meet the people today, most especially to check on Peelah and she had met a crowd of people outside Elder Ruthe's house and they had all looked within from the outside, at a scene that she had marveled at. Young Peelah was standing in front of the elders, Baba Kazoh squeezing his arms and telling him to say everything that had been spoked between him and Nicholas. She had walked in when Peelah, with a huge smile on his face, told them with a lisp in his speech, that he couldn't remember anything that they had talked about and that his memory went away with his friend. She groaned, flinching when Elder Ruthe smacked Peelah's behind. He looked at her, offended and apologiz
Juniper ,Elm ,Oak, Maple , Red fir , Beech and Pine. Lily looked round the woods, identifying the trees as she and her people passed them. She remembered with a small sting of pain the first time she came into these woods. Baba Mbari had gone on one of his journeys and he'd asked her to accompany him. She'd been so delighted. She'd learned her first fighting moves here, in these woods, practicing with her now dead friend and running around, feeling the forest dew in her hair.Those were some fond memories she would cherish forever and venturing into these woods had somehow sprung her feelings of nostalgia. Shaking her head, she directed her attention somewhere else, banishing the flow of memories from her head. They would do her no good, she thought, walking faster to keep up with the group she was walking with.The fighters were at the front, supposed to be led by her but instead she was reminiscing on past events that brought nothing but shame and pain whenever she remembered them.
priestess and the now quiet Ralph behind her and the grim looking soldiers at the rear end. Their small group had let the silence envelop them and not a soul broke it. It seemed that every one had settled for his own thoughts and there were no more gossiping. The soldiers had grown tired if talking and bored of repeating the same topic over and over when there was clearly nothing about again. It was a temporary refute and Lily welcomed it.The silence cleared her anger and irritation and she was starting to feel remorse for the soldiers themselves. Taught and trained to be fearless and brave, they were clearly not expecting to be marching to the wolf kingdom with no plan or prospects in mind. Lily thought that maybe she'd been a little short with them and they deserved a break. Besides, she thought glancing up at the gradually darkening sky. They deserved a rest. They weren't machines.She paused, making Ralph pause and the group behind the priestess to pause as well, giving her curi
"I've drawn your bath."Laura didn't glance up from her place beneath her covers. She wanted to stay cocooned right here, because leaving this cloud would bring her back to her actions and what she had wrought. She watch from her periphery as Suzy busied herself folding her clothes. She knew that it wasn't because she was cleaning then, because Suzy had done this every other day since Nicholas's Father had arrived. Suzy was trying to avoid that evil man. Laura could relate, because she locked herself in her room everyday just so she wouldn't see him and listen to his tireless taunts. The only time she left the room was to see her Father and to partake in the dinner that The vampire King had forced both her and her father to attend. Her Father needed bed rest, be shouldn't be walking down the stairs just to sit down and watch King Eric eat. Laura squeezed her eyes shut, not ready to face the reality of the day and what had happened. "Your water grows cold." Laura threw the covers o
Laura shook in her seat. Her head was bowed and she tried not to listen to the sound of slapping flesh, but that was all she could hear. It filled this room and it made her chest to hurt. She had rushed for him when he bent over Mary but two guards restrained her to her seat, using like the same chain that was tied around Mary's wrist to bind her hands to the chair and even her feet. That didn't deter her though because she kept struggling. The only reason she stopped was because Mary had whimpered, her eyes cutting across to Laura. Vacant. That was the only sign of life coming from henr since and Laura knew it was one of pain. So she sat silently, her eyes away from what was happening before her.King Eric grunted loudly, the sound making Laura to quake and then he was done, buttoning himself and sitting on his chair. Mary dropped like a rag to the floor and Laura screams, scared that her friend had closed her eyes forever. "Relax, she's not dead. Just tired." He smirked, pleased
Princess Laura lashed at king Eric but the guards were quick to stop her. The heavily built guard carried her like she weighed a zilch and hoisted her on his shoulder faces down. The princess screamed, hitting his back but he didn't bulge. He is grasps on her thighs we're still firm.The guard threw her on the bed and the princess shouted when her head hit the headboard of the bed. Her hands on her head, she massaged the spot of her head with throbbing pain then sat up on her, a scowl etched in her features. The princess spat at the old king just across her room. He was seated on the chair for her dressing mirror and he had two guards standing on each side on him. She stared hard at the door. It was locked. She turned to the windows and it's small frames wouldn't fit through her body. She needed to escape. She wanted to. Having the vampire king now ruling over the werewolf kingdom was hell. The old man was crazy and was obsessed with the craze of having an hybrid as heir. It was ev
