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.
Once In The Dust 53 In The Culprit's Shoes
Christopher. Willow relaxed on the couch in the room allocated to us, and I could tell she was nervous. It wasn't every day that people realised that they were royalty. I could understand why she was nervous, and I could feel the tinge of anger she was radiating. I touched her hand, and she looked at me with misty eyes. "How do I tell him I do not have long to live?" she said, voicing the one thing that troubled both our hearts and I held her while she cried. "It will break him, Chris; it will destroy him," she said. I wanted to tell her it was breaking me too, but I held it together and gently patted her. "It is okay, my love. I am sure he will be fine," I said, and she wrapped her arms around me. "Why will the goddess be so cruel?" She asked, and I shook my head. "It was my fault, Willow. I did this to us. I did not protect you and allowed those two to destroy us. This is on me," I said, and I believed every word. I deserved the heartbreak that would come with her departure b
Once In The Dust 54 How The Dinner Went
Willow. I watched as they dragged the culprits out of the dining room. People were in fear, and Queen Agnes was shaking. "I swear, darling, I did not know that was what they were doing. I genuinely thought you had a brain disease," She said, wiping away her tears. Elder Ramos looked at my father with concern and then looked at me. "Thank you for saving his life, young lady. The Lycan kingdom is indebted to you. You have averted a horrible war that would have happened had he died. Thank you so much." He said, and I smiled at him. "It is an honour to serve my king," I said, and then the man nodded. "If I may, your Majesty, Alpha Christopher's Luna looks a lot like your mother. She has her eyes," Elder Ramos said. "Is that why you are so fond of her?" he asked, and my father began to laugh. "You are too nosy for your good, Ramos; I am glad you notice the similarities between her and my mother because that brings us to the next reason why I called this dinner," He said and touched
