LOGIN"Oh, hello." Roydo smiled at her."Fina! Come here." Her mother hissed. Toby tried tugging her away.Seraphina yelled and stubbornly held on."I think the Goddess is trying to tell us something." The priest muttered."I agree." Jerry nodded. "Toby, is seems your little one has taken a liking to the boy. Will you allow him stay with you? It will be for a little while, till we get him other accommodation.""Why are you asking? You should be ordering him." Mona snapped.Jerry glared at her to be quiet."Mona!" Frank hissed.Toby hesitated. "I have no objections Alpha, but it's not my house alone. My wife has a say too." He turned to Anna. "Would you allow it my dear?"All eyes turned to Anna. She winced. She didn't want the abnormal look boy in her home, but she couldn't refuse without looking bad. Thanks to Seraphina."He is welcome to stay. Since it will be for a little while." She said reluctantly."Thank you." Roydo said shyly.Seraphina smiled and raised her hands up at him. Laughin
By the time Nic reached the courtyard the place was packed. Every wolf had heard the gong and come out. He noticed the crowd seemed to be gathered around something, or someone in the middle. He strained to see but couldn't. He gave up. He'd find out soon enough.Jerry and the pack alpha's had also heard the commotion and they all came into the courtyard."What's going on here?" Jerry demanded.A guard stepped forward. "Sire, this boy was caught trying to enter the kingdom. He says he is a prince." The guard forcefully parted the crowd. A dirty, ragged, tired-looking boy stood in the middle, an unconscious child cradled in his arms. The child he carried was unmistakably a zombie, but the boy himself was different. Though he bore the features of a zombie, he lacked their gray skin, and one of his eyes was completely black."Who are you?" Jerry asked."Sire, I am Prince Roydo, son of King Corpa of Zombie Kingdom. This is my brother Tok."A murmur rippled through the crowd. Most had hea
It was exactly as Ruto had predicted. His father listened to him with a bored and annoyed expression then said sharply,“So? That arrogant oaf wants his son to marry the daughter of another oaf, why should it bother you? Don’t you have better things to occupy yourself with?” “Father weren’t you listening to me? Fira and I love each –““Love is for idiots and common fools.” His father snapped. “You are a noble. Never mind our pack isn’t well to do, I know it will change one day. Till then, concern yourself with gaining more glory and not the affairs of our enemies. Dennis can trade his whole pack from a bride if he likes. Better for us if he using his grain to get wives for his sons. He will soon run out of resources and be as poor as a Zombie field mouse.” He laughed.“Father please. Fira can’t marry Som. Let’s offer more grain to Alpha Gorey. He would reject Dennis’ offer and Fira and I can get married.” Nic suggested.His father gaped at him.“Are you out of your senses? How can y
"Ruto, I wasn't expecting you." Nic told his brother."I know. I came to wish you luck, but met your Retainer who told me you went to find some limestone to shine your sword. Is that true?"Nic almost rolled his eyes. Had his Retainer forgotten the lie?"Yes. It is true. My sword needed a little more sharpness.""Where is the limestone?" Ruto asked staring at his empty hands."I didn't find any.""Really? Oh wait," he slapped his forehead. "Your Retainer actually said you went to relieve yourself, so which is it?"Nic stared at him, realizing he had been tricked. Ruto laughed."You know, I don't think you went to do either, I think you went to see Alpha Goreys' pretty daughter. Am I right?""Keep your voice down. If you already know why ask?" Nic said, sitting on the bed beside him.""I want to see your blush when you talk about her." He laughed again.Nic playfully punched his arm."She came to wish me luck," Nic explained, "and she gave me this." He brought out the fan, from where h
Nic sat in his small tent polishing his sword, his heart pounding with excitement. The roar of the crowd was so loud it seemed to shake the ground. The Annual Lunar Games were always a time of excitement. All twenty packs of Wolf Kingdom gathered together while their young nobles competed in archery, swordsmanship, racing, and other contests for the coveted, Lunar Medal. Nic was the reigning champion and was determine to keep his title. Black Fang was the poorest of the twenty packs, bringing them glory in the Games was the least he could do. His retainer entered the tent. "My lord, you have a visitor." "Later. I'm busy." The retainer lowered his voice. "It's Lady Fira. She's waiting at the edge of the tournament grounds. She says it's urgent." Nic stood up immediately. “Stay here. If anyone asks for me, say I went to relieve myself.” He instructed the retainer. He hurried to the woods surrounding the training ground, where he knew Fira would be. On the way he ra
"So my Luna, what did you want to talk about?" Nic asked, as they walked away from the palace and into the garden. "Like I said, our common enemy. Som." "I didn't know you loathed that despicable son of a vampire as much as I did." "Of course I do. Didn't you see how he humiliated me the day the Alpha came back from the Moon Pool? Before then he encouraged a servant to disrespect me. And he is insufferable! Strutting around as if he were the Kingdom Beta, when he is nothing more than the Alpha of a pack not even half as worthy as yours. He needs to be taught a lesson in humility. Unfortunately Jerry is too weak to do what needs to be done. Wolf Kingdom needs a strong ruler." "And who do you suggest is strong enough?" Nic asked cautiously. "My son of course. Kyle will be the strongest Alpha to ever rule Wolf Kingdom. Have you seen him at the training? He is already showing promise." Mona said proudly. Last I heard, you nearly tore the palace apart when the Alpha suggested the boy
Two weeks later… Beta Frank was surprised to see his daughter walk into his office just as the dinner bell rang. "Mona! Why aren't you at dinner?" He asked. "I'm not hungry." She dropped on his office sofa and folded her arms in front of her. "You asked to see me?" "I did but you should finish
That evening she was dragged from her cell, blindfolded, and thrown into a horse drawn cart. She shivered throughout the ride from cold and the uncertainty of not knowing how she was going to die. It would probably be by beheading, the standard execution for traitors. There was silence except for
The dungeon was quiet. The only sounds heard were Sharon's ragged breathing. Each breathe hurt, but her anxiety lessened the pain "Do you think she succeeded?" Hela asked Sharon, breaking the silence. "I know she did. She has Jerry's ear, and the Omega or Frank haven't come down here for awhil
The pain this time was different because it was mixed with anger. Anger at the discovery of her best friends betrayal. The anger was so great Sharon couldn't even feel the hot iron rod being used to burn her body. "Confess and end this soon." Beta Frank said coldly. "The only thing that will be
