....Present.... Zayn managed to stagger to his feet and leaned against a close tree so he wouldn't fall. He takes off his torn shirt revealing his broad chest and perfect abs. "Wolves existing in what they call a human world, shocking!" He let out the statement in pain and rage. Slowly, he wiped off the blood from on his stomach with the cloth and there was a fresh wound wide open on his skin. "Damn it!" Zayn cursed under his breath and made to tie but paused hearing incoming footsteps. He wondered if the lady alpha had changed her mind and was returning to kill him. "Who's there?" A soft feminine voice sounded and he turned to see a blonde appear at the scene with a shotgun she aimed at him. He exhaled in relief seeing that it was not the one he expected. The wounded alpha was just too weak to engage in another fight but whoever this stranger was, he believed she wouldn't blow off his head with the weapon she was wielding. "Easy..." He spoke but that did not make her let down
The claim was that Zayn was responsible, he had killed the king with a silver dagger that no one knew where he got in from and so was imprisoned for later judgment. She(Queen Rita) would have come a long time ago but needed to clear her head first and attend to royal issues since the council of elders had decided that she become the queen regent until a new decision is reached. Queen Rita after a deep silence spoke "Leave us" There was a surprised look on the face of the guard who decided to question her authority without thinking twice "Your grace, I was instructed not to take my eyes off him" She wasn't the queen anymore as the king was dead and he was arrogant enough to... "I guess you've been holed up down here for long to know what goes on in the kingdom. I'm the queen regent and if you dare raise your voice at me again... Your head will be hung on a spike before evening. I promise" There was intense anger in her eyes which you didn't need to see because it could also be n
"Mother, this supports my claim about Silas being responsible. Ivory has never run from the palace, she's a loyal omega. He definitely killed her and hid her body to clear traces that lead to him"Rita paused for a moment before speaking "Do you have any other witness to speak for you?" "No one. August knows I wouldn't do such but just as you said mother. It's not about people knowing me, It's the pieces of evidence and they're all against me right now" He was pained that he fell into his uncle's trap that easily. Silas plotting the king's murder was something he never thought about once. he was a loyal friend and brother of the king. "Mother, can you talk to the council on his behalf before the trial tomorrow? explain things to them, " Mia asked knowing that it wasn't possible but she just wanted to help her brother. "You know I can't, Mia. No one is allowed to talk to the council about the trial before it commences, only after. Whatever needs to be talked about will be done durin
"Framed? Zayn Hendrixson, we would proceed to give you a hearing before the council of elders and the people of baridoki", five minutes "That was the usual practice, they let the accused speak first before the witness and Zayn's case would be no different. Tyrrell had his seat among the other elders and tilt his head to hear the accused prince speak. Zayn took a deep breath and looked into the several eyes in the hall. All he could see was pure hatred for him and at that moment, his worst fears could become true. The people not believing him but this wasn't theirs to decide. It was the council of elder wolves. He quickly realized he had only five minutes to speak before he stopped. It was normally ten minutes and above, why was it different this time? "I thank you for allowing me to speak... To clear myself of my... the crime I'm accused of. First of all, if I wanted to kill the king, that's the most insane way to go..." There was loud murmuring from the crowd and he wasn't sure i
Zayn was dragged out to the waiting four-wheeled carriage that had ropes connected to two horses. The coachman was already on his seat and turned to see the warriors bring the banished prince. "We can't stay here for long, there's an angry crowd behind" One of the warriors informed the coachman who nodded and helped to put Zayn in the carriage where he sat on a fine oak seat that was decorated with gold. Two warriors sat at opposite sides with him at the centre and the coachman ahead then wriggled the ropes notifying the horses to move. They did obey and with their pulling strength, the carriage was wheeled away at a rough but quick pace.Zayn shut his eyes tightly trying to cope with the pictures that his brain was bringing up. He could see his mother in pain again asking to see her son. The council was bribed and they did not even try to hide it. A sentence was passed on him without proper consideration of the facts. No witness was even brought up to support the accusations that
There was Zayn in the old 1979 Chevrolet C10 truck that was been driven on the deserted tarred road by Stephen Jones who handled the wheel expertly.Stephen Jones was the man who rescued him from the ocean two days ago. He(Zayn) had mysteriously found himself in the waters after falling off the cliff with a stab injury.The compassionate man had made sure to take care of the nasty wound and stitched him up. Zayn wasn't healing at that time because it was inflicted by silver, the weapon that was capable of killing a werewolf like him. Here he was now in a new world that was completely different from his. He looked out of the window to see the architectural buildings around and that which amazed him the most was the skyscrapers. Stephen had taken Zayn into his house to live with him since he claimed he didn't remember anything but that was Zayn's lie to save himself from questions that could alarm the man that he was different. The Banished prince knew that he was in a place that wa
It was a warm afternoon in the lonely tarred road where only a Jeep Grand Cherokee Suv was moving at high speed towards the glass villa that was situated at the raised mountainous area surrounded by thick trees that served as shades from the sun. The Suv came to halt in front of the remote-controlled electric gate and soon it gave way letting the vehicle drive into the luxurious environment that was void of noise. "Stop here" A feminine voice sounded from instead the Jeep Grand Cherokee which then stopped immediately and the gates behind closed. The right door of the Suv pushed open letting out Alpha Allegra who was in a black trench coat that was unbutton. She took in a deep breath with her narrow nostril and soon opened her eyelid revealing her blue-coloured eyes that was surrounded by the thick eyelashes. The other door pushed open revealing a light skinned middle-aged man in an oversized coat carrying a shopping bag in his hand. That was Shane, Alpha Allegra's beta who was clos
'You're fvcking selfish!' Zayn almost yelled at his wolf for trying to--"Are you seriously trying to manipulate me? 'He asked more angrily this time."Don't be a stubborn head, Zayn, let me help you' His wolf told him in the calmest voice possible.'No, you've abandoned me for years and now you decide to show up because a mate is found, such a selfish wolf!" Zayn could never forget how he always pleaded with his wolf to speak and help him out of trouble but the selfish being always remain mute like he wasn't existing. That made him(Zayn) learn to be dependent on his own and deal with his troubles himself without the help of his wolf or anyone else. The last time he spoke with his wolf was when he was 19-year-old, his wolf had come alive the moment he clocked 18 and they were only together for a year before the split, and Zayn could still remember why.His wolf was furious at him for bringing humans into the royal palace which was one of the greatest offences. Zayn on his part didn't
