Once In The Dust 45 cuddled in each other's arms
Willow. We stayed with the King for a while, and he was excited about the treatment I proffered. Christopher decided we shouldn't speak of it again until we were out of the Kingdom, and I respected his reasons. The queen walked in to check on her husband. "You are still here, Christopher?" She asked, sounding surprised that we were still with the King. "I asked them to stay," King Edward said, and she sighed. "You need to rest," She argued, and he shook his head. "I have been couped up here for too long. A lot is going on out there," He said, and the queen sat next to him and touched his forehead. "You need to rest, your Majesty," She said, and he laughed, coughing in between. "I will die anyway. I rather enjoy my time left living than spend it moping and taking drugs. In fact," he said and looked at her. "I will be going on a trip tonight. I will be spending a month away," He said, and the queen exclaimed. "You can't," She argued, and he frowned at her. "When did you start
Once In The Dust 46 The first step
Willow We left the bear kingdom in the morning. King Lucien wanted us to stray longer, but King Edward was too eager to start treatment. I knew he was bored of sleeping on his bed all day while being treated. We returned to the Rain pack and found a way to secretly keep the King in a small property away from the pack house. It was a small bungalow that Christopher visited to escape the stress of alpha duties. It was beautiful and well-furnished. There was no building close to it, so it was very isolated. We did not want any surprises, and we did not want people to know he was with us. Luis was made to guard the place, and he was eager to do it. Even though the people feared the Lycans, they loved the King. Christopher and I moved into the property temporarily, so there would be no suspicion. The pack members simply believed we wanted time alone. After we had organised King Edward's living arrangement, I called Leeana so she would join me to pick herbs. Christopher feared fo
Once In The Dust 47 By the lake
Christopher I joined Willow in her office to wait for the doctor. I haven't been to the luna's office since I married Aida. The last time I entered the office, I had no luna and wanted to renovate the place for Aida. Seeing Willow occupy the seat made my heart swell. "Should we go to the lake after we are done with the doctor? It is a beautiful night out there," I said, and she smiled at me. "Yes, I would love to," She said, and I relaxed in the chair. Even though we had so much to do, I did not want to miss any moment with her. Knowing she wouldn't be with me for long made me desperately want to spend time and build memories with her. I felt it was unfair to put her on a clock while we were allowed to live the rest of our days. If truly we all died, we should all be on a clock. It didn't make sense. I wasn't the one who determined what would happen in our world, but I hoped the goddess would make an exception for me this time. I stared at my wife as she attended to documents o
Once In The Dust 48 No To Aaron
Christopher Garret and I left for the meeting the next day. I was eager to get it over with. I wasn't looking forward to the topic of discussion, but if I refused to show up, it would be seen as an act of insubordination to the King. I pleaded with Luis to take care of my wife and keep the pack in order until I returned. We arrived at the venue, and King Aaron could not stand seeing me. I couldn't wait to get the meeting over with, but everyone called had to be present before we could start. Based on what happened with the poisoning, Garret and I chose to stay away from their food and drink and stuck to the water flask we had brought. Each with their own. Some alphas looked at me funny, but Aaron did not need to guess why I would do that. He had successfully poisoned me once; I wouldn't give him a chance to do it again. I was offered small bites and cocktails, and I outrightly refused them. Soon the alphas caught on, and some felt weird eating the food offered. When we were al
Once In The Dust 49 Why The Lycans Came
Willow, The treatment lasted about two weeks, and King Edward was feeling better already. It was a miracle. Realising I was right about him being poisoned did not sit well with him, and he was glad he listened to me. As for the silver in his system, it dissipated a week into treatment. King Edward was thrilled about his health; I could understand his joy. From thinking he would soon die to having a long life was enough to get him giddy. He also seemed fond of me and promised to give me a title in his court. I wished I could stay long enough to enjoy the promotion. It was sad that in this lifetime, I was only passing through, and I had just a few months to go. I hated thinking about it and just enjoying my life, but my life was so good that there were times I cried about it when I was alone. I was afraid to leave the people I loved behind, especially Christopher. I wonder how he will cope without me. It was a hard pill to swallow, but that was my life. We decided to watch a
Once In The Dust 50 I Was All Ears
Christopher Who could have imagined that Edward was Willow's father? She was the actual princess and the heir to the Lycan throne. Why didn't I know this in my first life? I would have thought to get her back to her father. Now that she was on borrowed time, I doubted it would help. The truth is, there was a possibility there wouldn't be a war if Edward had an heir, but Willow would not be around long enough to ascend the throne. Telling him the truth about his daughter will be hard. He did not take Leah's death well; how will he take it when I tell him that his daughter was also killed because of my stupidity and negligence, and she was living on borrowed time? It was a cruel joke, and I wished there was a way I could plead with the powers that be to restore Willow's life. I watched Edward hold on to his daughter, and my heart was broken. Fate had sent back the right wolf with the wrong conditions. Thanks to her speciality, she was able to save Luis and my life, and also sav
Once In The Dust 51 Alive and well
Christopher Brooks and I went to my car to have a conversation. He said it was private talk, and I wondered what it might be. We sat in the car, and Luis stood guard. "Sorry to trouble you like this. I know you have a lot planned out, but I needed to speak to you about my niece, whom you are married to," he said, and I frowned at him. "I know I have never visited or spoken to her, and maybe I should, but I am not good at building relationships, especially broken ones," he said and sighed, then pinched the bridge of his nose. "I am only telling you this because of what Queen Agnes is doing. I would have held my peace if King Edward was still alive, but I can't anymore. I know you love her and will protect her. So, I know I can trust you with this information." He said, and I knew he would tell me what I already knew and much more, so I was attentive. "My sister wasn't a bad person like people try to make her seem. That was queen Agnes's narrative of her; in fact, she was a joy.
Once In The Dust 52 It will be Explosive
Christopher. As we drove into the gates of the Lycan kingdom, I felt giddy because I knew the drama that would ensue. A king presumed dead had returned, and he had found his heir. I wondered how Agnes and her co-conspirators would take it. The men looked at my Jeep funny, and I could not blame them; it had just survived the attack of the Bandit Clan. I hoped we could solve this matter once the Lycan king was back in power because Aaron was not doing an excellent job. I wasn't happy about everything because it meant I would get to spend less time with my wife, and we didn't have much of that left. It was frustrating. Someone came towards me, where I parked my Jeep, to lead me inside. It was clear I was no longer an ally because I would usually walk in without issue. I linked King Edward to cover his face with a hoody while he carried my wife, who was wrapped in a blanket. Carrying my sleeping wife would draw less attention to him than if I were carrying her and he was on his own.
