Heading back to the palace is not the Beowulf who left. Half of him is dying under the weight of his guilt. And the other half is scared of what he had just done. The conviction of what he just did. Killed a man because he was caught performing a sacrilege to the land. Killed a woman he loves or the woman who makes him happy just so he could avoid conviction. He has a long face with a sloppy walking stride. He had gone to a stream and had watched himself. He had taken precautions against what he thought might make people suspect him. "Welcome Lord Beowulf,""Hmm!" He grunted at the guards at the palace gate. He wondered what the guards thought of him. Do they see him as a killer or just as a good person? If what he did should get exposed, he wondered how they would treat him. The spear would be pointed towards him. He would be in a lock and there would be some other guards with switched Werewolves form to guard against him. And since he is an Ultimate Al
Welcome Beowulf, you have come to check up on her," his mother said. She revels in delight at Beowulf's presence. She looked at him from the top of his head to his feet. "Yes Mother, I am here," "You didn't tell me she is such a beautiful lady. It's unfair on your part to have left me out of full information about her,""At least now you are seeing her," he smiled. His head hurts now that he is in the same room with his mother. He feels tired and needs to leave. Ashina lies on the table, she lies weak and unconscious. "Why isn't she healing?" He asked his mother. It's rare for them to use this medical room. If it's an injury gotten from battle or any form of violence, it heals on its own. Most times the medical room is used for sick people. Not those who got the injury from fighting or even abuse, in her case. "She was on her period before he punched her. Her systems are weak already. So her imm
Most times, brothers are not in sync with each other. There is always a sort of rivalry going on amongst them. Or that's the case with most brothers in the world. But Audolf and Adalwolf are calmly seated in the courtroom, just like they have always been. Each other knows the strength of the other. It's safe to say they never argue because they are scared of each other and not for love. But they never showed fear to each other. Even when they have differing opinions that would require brothers to shout at themselves, they keep calm and do their best to control the situation. But right now, it is not such times that they are having differing opinions. In short, they are in sync. They are happy and it's something they must share. "So Olcan's daughter is here," Adalwolf asked. His voice sounds like it's in a bit of slur like he just woke up. But Audolf knows otherwise. His brother's days are ending. "Yes! She was involved in an accident with
It's only normal that I am alone in this situation," Adalwolf mourned. His eyes are deep red. He is alone in the room designed for Ultimate Alphas to stay near the end of their days. His loneliness isn't the kind where no one loves him, nor that there isn't anyone that wants to be with him. But it's the law of the land. And Ultimate Alpha needs to practice being lonely towards the end of his days. So his awakening to join the next Alpha will be faster. Adalwolf stood up from his bed and went to where his food is being kept. He carried his food and went back to his seat. He wanted to eat. He hasn't had good lunch in a long while, he had been requesting for junks. Even though the maids could have reported to the Luna who wouldn't allow him to eat such, she respected him. And kept bringing in junks. "This vegetable with…" a sharp migraine hit him. Not just any migraine. It's not the kind of migraine that comes and goes or that reduces with t
And you left them alone?" "Father I had to," "It was quite an unsightly event. I was embarrassed at how he did that," Skoll laughed. "I knew it was going to happen. He dare not attack her," Lord Olcan told his son. "But father, the risk was high," Skoll warned his father. He arrived two hours ago, but he didn't come directly to his father. Other things needed to be done. "But in the end, it's worth it," Lord Olcan replied, staring at his son. "You know I foresaw his limitations. Since he came to shout at me, I know how far he could go to protect her," Lord Olcan replied. Skoll admired his father's predictions. How could he have expected such to happen? For a very long time, he had always been looking up to his father's political ideas and his plans. His father is always a step ahead of him. Even when he was young, that he tried sneaking out of their pack to seek refuge under the Ultimate Alpha's pack, his father had expected him. No one would go through such rigorous training a
"Brother, I have been knocking here for some time now. Were you asleep?" Audolf asked, using his eyes to trace his brother's weak steps. "Haa! Don't mind me, I was only resting," Adalwolf replied to his brother. He walked slowly towards his seat. He took his time to sit. "Hope you are alright?""Yes! I am," Adalwolf replied. He would have loved to add that it depends on his definition of being alright. If it is this constant state of being weak and having his health deteriorate every day, then he is as good as goodness comes. But if it's about just hearing the news about what abomination his son was about to create, and if it's about having the anger of every one of his predecessors before him, then he is not alright. Those that he admires and adores. Their anger on him has a toll to take.The first Alpha had growled at him for not instilling the laws of the land, and for not letting his son have enough knowledge of the law.<
"The day is coming to an end. The hour has gotten long past the usual time she is supposed to return," Dun frowned at her husband. "Didn't you reiterate the particular time she is supposed to get back?" She asked her husband. "You know she isn't the type that comes back late. She knows the law in this house," he replied. "Exactly," both of them know Sassaba. She doesn't have many friends to go greet. The few friends she has had left their pack. She has always been alone. A crime her mother had tried to get her out of. Dun urged Sassaba to have both male and female friends. She would force Sassaba to go to the market with her. Most of the time, their argument usually leads to them not talking for days. "See, we are a family for a reason," "I know mother," Sassaba once replied her after her mother set a bar for arguing one evening. "Do you plan on creating your family?" "Mother! Not everyone wants to give birth and live a family life," Sassaba said one more time. "So if you d
There is always a problem with sleeping throughout the day. You won't be able to sleep at night. It's annoying. No matter how long you sleep during the day, night sleep is essential. The weather at night is usually perfect. But sleeping at night is more of a psychological trigger. There might be some people that are trained to work during the night and sleep during the day. It's not like there is a sort of sleep pill poured all over the air. We have only adapted to sleeping at night and not during the day. In Noguchi, they have a problem with distinguishing day and night. There is something only the Ultimate Alpha knows and most of the very elite members of the society, who gets awakening. The Ultimate Alpha knows that beyond the barriers of Noguchi, the humans have a moment of twelve hours called day and they have another one called night. But most times in Noguchi, it's mostly dark and even though a duration of twelve hours for day and night was implemented, Noguchi's timeframe wor
