"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
Minutes after Edon left and she was left to revel the information she was given, the door unlocked. Ashina was expecting him to come in and go on with his explanations or at least give her some tips to understanding why the relationship between her father and the Ultimate pack went sour before she was born. But in that regard, she was disappointed. Beowulf came in. He looked all around the room like it was a strange place. He didn't look at her directly. "Hello," he greeted from afar. There is a seat just beside her bed, somewhere he could sit. But Beowulf went further and sat on the chair Edon was on before he left. "Hi," she replied. Her voice wavering and her heart beating faster than usual. She wasn't expecting him. Either because she felt he would be too busy or because he isn't interested in her. "Blessings of the goddess be with you," she said. "Are you okay? You sound less normal than usual," he noticed. The last time he had seen her, she had a bit of energy in her voice.
There was no better agreement that Lord Olcan, Daciana, Fenris, and Skoll could make other than that Skoll will be sent to the Ultimate Pack. There, he will act on behalf of the whole family and bring back their daughter. Ashina would follow him. He had waited the whole night. He could barely sleep. Last night was a very interesting night. Fridolf, Amoux's father had come to meet his father and accuse him of not being loyal. "There is no man that is so two-faced other than you," that was the first statement he heard the moment he entered his father's courtroom. "You should try to understand the situation before blaming me," his father answered. He wondered what was going on. "What do you have to explain about your daughter being betrothed to the Ultimate pack," Skoll was shocked the moment he heard that. He walked closer to them and looked at his father. He didn't ask for an explanation at that point. He waited till Fridolf left. His father didn't give Fridolf a substantial explan
Fenris' mother came in earlier than expected. Her usual style of attending such a meeting is usually a grand one. The last person to come in and for some reason, her opinion is the one most accepted. In past meetings they have had, she is usually the last to come, last to speak, and one with the accepted opinion. If it's not hers, it would be Fenris. Their mother will only build on his opinion. And Ashina is mostly silent. She supports her mother's actions and ideas. And their father is the one who determines what happens or not. Skoll is usually just there. No one listens to his opinion about anything. If the concluded opinion requires someone to put it into action, it's mostly him. "I guess everyone has heard about the information somehow," Olcan said, with his eyes fixed on Fenris. "About what?" Fenris asked. No one replied. "There is so much information around these days. Help me narrow it down to something," Fenris said.
What do you think of the Ultimate Alpha's son?" Skoll asked her immediately she asked about their mother. It's a shocking question. She knew that since it came to the fact that she had to stay here in the Ultimate Pack, her brothers would know all about it. And now, her father must have heard about her love life. She won't be surprised if Fenris knew before now. "Brother! He is a good man," she replied. "You want to marry him?" he said. Her pupils dilated. "How did you know about him?" She asked. He scoffed. She knew she already irritated him by not giving him a direct reply. But there is a limit to what he can do. He can't hurt her. Not while they are under the Ultimate Alpha's room. If all in her life, she never felt safe. It has always been that she is under her parent's roof. "So how long have you hated Amoux?" He asked. "Since the very beginning," "And why didn't you say so?" His question
With recent activity, the Ultimate Alpha's palace is jumbled together. Guards are working to get the corpse to a good burial ground. A royal one where members of the ultimate Alpha's family are buried. The other man might have been buried on a commoner's burial ground, but one of the maids around had screamed when she identified who he was. They must be having some romantic relationship. Another woman who claimed to be his mother also cried. The three women -Sassaba's mother, the servant's mother, and lover- were taken to a room for consoling. While walking around, Skoll heard the Ultimate Luna had gone to see them. She had consoled them. He also heard that Sassaba's mother was taken to a special room. He wanted to know what room she would be in. But he couldn't ask the maids he heard it from. The palace has a mourning atmosphere. It's different from what it was in the morning when he came in. "Hello, please excuse me," he stopped a maid he saw. She car
The room's silence comes with contempt. Everyone has their eyes fixed on something else. The anger in everyone in the room is something Beowulf could feel. His uncles and aunties are in his father's courtroom. They have come together and need to have a meeting. The last person they were waiting for came in. The Ultimate Alpha himself. Beowulf saw his father some days ago. He had been here to tell his father about the woman he found. In Noguchi, there was no need for the Ultimate Alpha and his son to have moments of bonding. They believe it will hinder the ascension process. "Goodness of the goddess be with you my Lord," they all greeted in unison. They bow before him. Audolf had gone to bring him. He held him and walked him towards his seat. The Ultimate Luna is seated. She sat on a stool beside Edon. Others stood up to greet him. "Ah! Mingan. You have come to visit me today. Is it my death day already?" The Ultimate Luna asked.
