2024-10-29 19:42:56"So, is that truly the son of your Alpha? He doesn't look it," Beowulf said to the market leader, Farkas.
"Yes, Lord Beowulf," Farkas replied
"Well, I came here to see to the peace of the market. And the gold I promised everyone, is right outside. You should know where to keep it and share it amongst yourselves, when I am gone," Beowulf added.
"Alright lord Beowulf." Farkas humbly replied
"And Lord Beowulf, I want to tell you something else,"
"What is it?"
"It's about my daughter. She is a good felan. A beautiful one. She is loyal and…"
"Farkas, we won't be talking about this again." Beowulf interrupted. Truly most of the werewolves in Noguchi know what period it is. It's the period where the son of the Ultimate Alpha looks for his mate, who will be the new Ultimate Luna.
Most older werewolves know the reason Beowulf has been coming to the city. The reason he has been going from packs to packs, visiting Alphas. Soon enough, he will be the Ultimate Alpha. The one who would have control over all of the werewolves pack. And before the ritual of ascension begins, he is supposed to have a mate.
"I have seen your daughter, and I appreciate who she is. But she isn't the mate I want. We are good friends Farkas, don't worry. When I become the Ultimate Alpha, I won't forget you." Beowulf smiled.
He knew that was a promise he might not be able to keep up with. When he becomes the Ultimate Alpha, most of his existence and actions would be guided by some principles. Principles that he doesn't have influence over.
He heard soft footsteps approaching, but he disregarded it. It was more like he expected it. The footsteps slowed down. He smiled. Then he heard staggers from the same footstep. He turned around, only to see Lady Ashina, staggering a few feet from him.
He saw the wolf, Amoux, who was with her standing in fury. Amoux's eyes weren't at Ashina but at him. It was a bloodshot gaze. There was also bloodlust feeling, but not enough to serve as a threat to Beowulf.
"Ah! I see," he smiled. He dashed towards the Lady Ashina that was falling. It felt like she lost consciousness.
"Lady Ashina!" He called her. He dashed towards her just when she was about to fall. He held her arms. He looked into her eyes. He felt the softness of her skin. Her bare skin wasn't touching his, but through her silky cloth.
"How bright and beautiful these eyes are," Beowulf thought. When he saw her earlier on, he saw the look of interest in her eyes. She looked at him with a broad smile. He saw how she had looked at him right from his hair, to his feet.
"Let's see what you can do," was his thought while he approached her then.
"I love this Lord Beowulf," she said and Beowulf smiled. Then, she passed out.
"So you did inhale me," Beowulf thought.
Everyone in the market caught a glimpse of what happened immediately as Ashina fell. They all gasped. Some felt jealous at the fact that the future Ultimate Alpha held Ashina. Some felt pity for the lady who just felt, and ran towards her.
Amoux ran to Beowulf too.
"What did you do to her?" Amoux grabbed Beowulf's hand.
Beowulf slowly raised his head. He looked into Amoux's eyes.
"For some reason, he is angry at me. Ashina, what did you say to him?" Beowulf thought. He wanted to smile, but just as slowly as he raised his head, he rolled his eyes and lowered his face.
Some people from the Volde pack ran to Beowulf and collected the daughter of their Alpha from him.
"I helped her while she fainted," Beowulf replied Amoux, yanking his hand off.
"Before then. Just when she met you at first. What did you do?" Amoux barked
"What did I do? It would save us both stress, if you will lower your voice while talking to me." Beowulf advised
"And now you are warning me uhn? You bastard from the Ultimate pack."
"Watch your words. And choose your next words carefully," Beowulf began steaming. His claws were forming out of his human form. He was ready to punch Amoux if he said another provocative word.
"Or what? Will the magic from your pack be used in punishing me?"
"No! Of course not. I would do something worse," Beowulf smiled. He was trying to keep his calm. Ordinarily he would have attacked Amoux. He felt like punching and tearing up Amoux. But the respect he got from the werewolves around, were restraining him. They would be scared of him. They probably won't want to get close to him in the future.
"Listen, little Ultimate pack. Remember my face, because just when you are about to have the best time of your life, I will sneak up to you and take it away from you." Amoux threatened with his finger pointed to Beowulf's face.
The men who came in before Beowulf, who were to serve as his guard, came to where Amoux and Beowulf were arguing. They stood before Beowulf and Amoux. Forcing Amoux to move back.
Amoux is a strong werewolf. A prospective Alpha of the Hudun pack. One of the strongest packs in Noguchi. Their military prowess is nothing to ignore. And Amoux at his least powerful, could take on three betas from his pack. He is yet to get to his prime, but when he does, he knows ten Betas will be like a walk in the park for him. Except if they were upper Betas. Then, he would have problems fighting six of them.
Just moments before, he would have punched Beowulf. Kick him, claw him up and make him apologize for how he caused discord between him and his mate-to-be, but he is a member of a secret sect of werewolves.
And in his sect, they have been advised to lay low. They should never pick a fight with any member of the Ultimate pack alone.

The sect has its base at the Volde Pack territory. Ashina's father is the one who spearheaded it. They have all grown and learnt to hate every member of the Ultimate pack. They were to get any information about the Ultimate pack and share it with other members. The sect consists of Alphas from different packs. Alphas who harbor disgust and annoyance at the existence of the Ultimate Alpha. Amoux can't even touch Beowulf not to talk of punching his way through these men before him. He snapped his finger at Beowulf, and went towards where Ashina was. "I will take her with me. You," he pointed at the market leader. "Yes! Lord Amoux," Farkas ran to him and bow"Get help and carry her along with me to the Volde pack," Amoux ordered. "Get help from someone from the Volde Pack." He whispered to Farkas. No matter how strong and influential a werewolf is, there is a limit to those he can control. Not even an Alpha of a pack can control or order those of another pack. The only person excepti

"So mother, that is exactly how it happened." Beowulf excitedly narrated his ordeal to his mother. He selectively told her things that he knew won't get her angry. He couldn't tell her about the threat Amoux made. The words he said were something his mother would be worried about. If he mentions the threat, she would want to go to the priests to check if her son would be fine. Even though Beowulf knew most times, the priests only say things that she wants to hear. They might have every spiritual power. They might hear things directly from the gods, but they can't see the future."Oh my heaven! Heavenly goddess. You found a woman that interests you?" She asked, smiling and gushing over all of him. She stood up and began dancing the local Atilogwu dance. "No wait mother, I am interested in all women. She only piqued my interest. She really is a perfect woman." He replied. He drew her close just so she could stop dancing. His mother frowned at him. She sat down on the bed before him."Y

Their palace is a different castle than their building. For most days, that's where his father is. His mother does stay at the castle, but once in a while she comes back to this castle. The palace is like an extension of the castle. It has few rooms for sleep and a large court for meetings between all the Alphas of Noguchi. Running at a human speed would take thirty minutes from the castle to the palace. Beowulf only had to run for five minutes before he got there, and that's still not while in his werewolf form. In one of the numerous classes he attended in preparation for his ascension, she heard the story of how the palace was created. Something that once served as a shelter for werewolves during the war of separation. He entered through the main gate as the guards bow before him. Today, he didn't notice the large depiction of a waning moon drawn on a cloth, placed above the entrance of the castle. "Lord Beowulf!" They all greeted him. Even people who were older than him.

Ashina didn't gain consciousness at once. She began noticing her surroundings minutes after she woke up. There was no one nearby. She was alone in her room. Just beside her bed, she saw plates and cups that had been used to feed her drugs. She didn't call anyone or try to ask for help. She didn't feel any pain. She doesn't even have a memory of what happened. It's just her on her bed looking lost and empty.After minutes of silence even in her head, she wondered what had gotten her into this condition. "What made me faint?" She asked herself, thinking of possible reasons. It was not like her father had touched her. He beats her when she provokes him but he had never beaten her to the extent where she lost consciousness.It's not like she got diagnosed with any sickness that drained her energy. And she is quite energetic. The doctor has once said. And she had proved it at different times."Oh! Right!" She cried in her head. "I remember. I remember just what it is that happened." She

"Ashina! Who is this man?" He asked in a friendly tone. He didn't come off as angry. Even the guards of the court were not around. The atmosphere wasn't official. She felt relaxed."Father! He is Falcris. Son of Beta Donolf. His father was the one who helped us unravel plots of the Ekun's pack during the last war. We…" "Ashina! I know who his father is. Tell me the relationship between you and the young wolf." Lord Olcan ordered. He stood up from his seat and moved closer towards them."He is a wolf I am interested in, father. I love him." She said to her father with a smile on her face. She moved forward so her father would know how happy she is. She had her hand on her chest. "You love him?" He said. He turned around and smiled."And you Falcris, what do you have to say about that?" Olcan asked Falcris."Lord Olcan. I love your daughter. She is the perfect mate. She is…" Falcris said. He bowed down immediately. He thought it would be disrespectful to talk to Lord Olcan while stand

What is it? What is all this madness?" Lord Olcan asked a raging Amoux. Amoux entered into Lord Olcan's court without the usual formality required. He was to ask for permission from the guards who stood at the door. Either of the guards will go into the castle and ask if Olcan wants to meet with the person or not. But Amoux attacked both guards. They didn't fight him. They only paved the way for him. "You ask your daughter not me!" He fired back at Olcan"My daughter?" Olcan asked. He adjusted his posture on his seat. He sat with his right hand under his chin. His elbow touched his lap and he leaned forward."Your daughter did not only defy me, she disrespected you. And it seems all your policies are a facade," Amoux blurted. Four of the guards rushed toward him. A guard grabbed his right hand. He tried clawing the guard with his left arm, but he got punched in the bicep by another. His punch weakened. Another guard grabbed his arm. Two came from behind and kicked him in his leg.
Wolf's Will Chapter 12
Apart from fighting, the guards around Olcan were another problem. Even if he was to attack Olcan, they would get to him before he could do that. And this court doesn't support his fighting style. It's a large room with no pillars that he can hang on around. "Lord Olcan, I am betrothed to your daughter. She defied me. Isn't it only natural that I watch you punish her?" "Oh! I see. You were expecting me to punish her?" Olcan stood up. He dusted his clothes. Amoux saw him raise his garment up and…"I won't be punishing my daughter," Amoux heard Olcan speak right beside him."So fast!" Amoux cried within himself. "You are the fool who couldn't win the heart of my daughter in the last four months. Let her belong to the person who captivates her heart," Lord Olcan said."And you won't be standing when I am beside you," Olcan inhaled and shivered. Amoux felt pain in his nostrils. It went from his nostrils right to his brain. A shrill pain. An instinct that told him how much of a danger h

Ashina is all alone in her room, sleeping. She doesn't know anything going on around her, not to talk of things going on miles from her. The Ultimate Alpha and his brother sat down in their court room. Worried about why Beowulf had to fall in love with the daughter of Olcan. They know of the relationship between their pack and Olcan. "You think Olcan would agree?" Adalwolf asked. "Would he have another choice?" Audolf smiled."It's not about that. You know what have happened," "You should not be the one scared. You did nothing wrong," Audolf consoled his elder brother. "Yes! I know," Adalwolf replied. He appears as old as the oldest priest in Noguchi but he is the same age as Olcan. They used to know each other and be friends while they were young. But position and family made each other realize that they can't be friends forever. One has to hate on each other. Olcan Pack has to hate on the Ultimate pack. It's compulsory. It's necessary. It's inevitable and only so much can be d

Good morning Sir!” a calm female voice rang past Dr. Hugh Henow’s ear, just when he took the diversion towards his office in Lagos City Police Department. Oh, God! Here we go again. Is there any day people realize that you don’t want to talk to them? That even the best greetings they offer might sound so shrill to your ears. Moments you just want to be alone.“Morning!. How are you?” he responded less aggressively than he intended to. If he gives a cold reply very early in the morning, she would be wary of coming to him throughout the day. “I am fine sir,” she noticed the lack of interest and coldness in his reply. Now hold on. Not like she was interested in greeting him. She is only doing this because she has a message for him. Even if he is her superior, he has no right over.

Dr. Hefner Eric has been the coroner for the Lagos state police department, Allen District for as long as his certificate was handed to him 20 years ago. He didn’t get to stay that without his super apt sense of discerning. He was one of the best they have got and is the only one available when the need for one arrived. Despite being forty-three years old, he is still one to jump around when called to work. The reluctance other staff younger than him would show, was never in him since he began. Just like every Thursday, he was always sleeping over at the station. He was called to check out the corpse of a boy at Allison Baker's way. A police restriction line had been created 2 hours before Dr. Hefner got there.

Has anyone else planned for something and it went just according to plan? Or perhaps you didn’t plan, you only wished for it to happen and it did? Even though it is out of your control? Of course, there would be lots of people. And some never got their plans into reality because of some unfortunate factors. Sadly, Tobi belonged to the second category of people on this particular day.Since his arrival at school, he had been anticipating the arrival of Amanda Dram. The way her presence spoke to him, the way it stimulates self-calming hormones in him is something he can’t have enough of. He needed to see her. To speak to her, but she wasn’t in school. And there was no way in hell he would go meet the principal to ask him about her. That would be creepy, wouldn’t it? He doesn’t want to create a bad impression of himself to anyone yet.After school ended and he couldn’t see her, there was only one thing left for him to do. To go see his Pharmacist.<

Present-day. Open earth.“don’t… now… drink… night...” incoherent words like these were the only thing Tobi could make out from the argument of his parents. His mother’s high-pitched voice woke him. He already knew what the situation was, but he wasn’t going to interfere. He knew what would stem out of him interfering. He could hear his dad’s sloppy voice. He didn’t bother standing from his bed. The Christian early morning criers haven’t begun ringing their bells. Nor the Muslim’s crier. Not like he needed to worship their God, but those people were just some sort of alarm. The sudden creak of his door’s room sent chills to his spine. He jumped. He switched the light on.“Are you still sleeping, boy? Your father wasn’t home last night and you didn’t bother asking for his whereabouts?” his mom screamed. He looked at her pitiable appearance. Her hair tangled all around. Even her pajamas are rumpled. He knew she must have been in some sort of scuffle

Run my lady!" Edon cried. "Run as fast as you can." He and a female werewolf were being chased by a pack of twelve fierce-looking werewolves. They were being chased through the wood but the female werewolf can't pick up enough speed to outrun the werewolves as she would. She is the Ultimate Luna of Noguchi. A world set aside from the human world with a large amount of magic. It has a barrier that keeps its inhabitants from interfering in human lives and vice versa. She just gave birth to a werewolf half a day ago and is unable to run. She could have healed five hours after she gave birth but during the birth, she has been using her power to conceal her and her Alpha's brother's presence. Both of them had left the Ultimate den in search of a hunt or more like so she could see him hunt. Just to pass time. She had been pregnant for the past one and a half years.

Dun knows better than rushing to the Volde pack to share information with Skoll. It's been two weeks since she and Skoll had agreed. Skoll hasn't given her enough information to convince her of who killed her daughter, but she doesn't mind sharing him information. The first time she gave him information about the Ultimate Luna and Edon. He wondered how that piece of information was useful to him. He knew they were friends. Very close one. But why does she have to make it an important issue? She noticed the disappointment on his face. The second time they met, she told him about Audolf and other things that went on, in the palace. And she mentioned Edon and the Ultimate Luna. "Do you mean both of them go into the woods, just for walks?" Skoll asked her. She could feel the restraint in his voice. He was trying his best not to get angry. "Yes! And I have been with them once. It's just Edon, her, and maybe two maids," "I see," Skoll agreed. But today, she fell out of favour with the

The fraud from the Noguchi priesthood is something that annoys most werewolves. The priests who are supposed to be holy having more than one wife is the most ridiculous thing in Noguchi. There are so many debates surrounding why it is supposed to be so. But not many people have come out to go against it. In short, no one has. Arnou used to question it but ever since he became a priest, he acknowledged the weakness of it. How unfair it is to the Felans. He has been having thoughts about many things in recent times. He doesn't even want to get married. The spiritual wives of priests in Noguchi are treated worse than criminals. And if a spiritual wife gives birth to a child acknowledged as the next priest, she will be made to stop reproducing and left alone to live in her room, till her death. In most cases, the Felans usually die before their husbands and the next priest is given the title. But Arnou's mother is one hell of a woman who didn't die in all her days in isolation. And sinc

"Now this is the room you will be in for the main time. Once you and my son get engaged, you will be in a better room," the Ultimate Luna said. She smiled at Ashina. Ashina returned her smile even though she isn't happy. She is concerned if she really wants to be with Beowulf. What if her brother had been right, and Beowulf is just a random guy who isn't all pious as her first impression of him had been. She has been praying that some sort of enlightenment or clearance comes to her. So she should know. Left to her current feelings, she wanted to be with him. Her life since her grandmother died, has been full of sorrow and being controlled. Her father had contributed largely to that. Amoux came along the way. Even if he had been with her for four months.

Beowulf can't forgive himself for what he has done. He deserves every single act of aggression that comes from anyone he knows. But his father had decided to keep it between himself and his brother. Beowulf is concerned about how his father came to know about what happened. After his father asked everyone to leave, he expected his father to ask him questions. Ask him real questions like what is true or did it happen. Even if his father hadn't asked him that question, maybe just something else. He even thought this father was about to punish him for going to Ashina's house. Ever since he became the Ultimate Alpha, he had been warned never to walk or associate around women alone. Jealousy at times bred rumour. And rumours could be used to taint your image at times. That's what a young priest had told him. This same young priest had told him to be careful of how he relates with women. They are innocent and can be so tempting. He was supposed to stay off of them.
