Author's POV
Two Years Later
The King's court, Black Moon Pack.
At the throne sat King Gorgis ,the king of all werewolves and Alpha of Black Moon Pack. A very handsome man in his late fifties, with a crop of red hair just like that of someone you might have heard of before.
Beside him sat his Luna, Queen Marla and not far away sat , the prince and princess of the Black Moon Pack: Dennis and Sharon Mason. A picture perfect family of the ruler of the Werewolves.
There was worry edged on the handsome face of the king and all the subjects seated in the court, all the Alphas, betas and gammas of all other werewolf packs of repute.
War was brewing. There have been reported mysterious killings and poaching from Vampires and Lycans of Werewolves all over the world and as their king, Gorgis had to come up with a solution.
How do they stop the killings? It was becoming worrisome. For the past two years, werewolf packs were gradually going extinct and the ones that were strong enough were tired of the constant fighting with enemies.
Here all the Alphas were, looking up to their king for an immediate solution.
"Send for the seer immediately. There must be a solution." King Gorgis bellowed from the throne and the head of the pack council scurried off to do the bidding.
In less than twenty minutes, he was back.
Whispering to the king in his ear,
"Your Majesty, the seer cannot come today as she has to perform a ritual to the moon goddess before obeying the king."
King Gorgis was not pleased but there was nothing he could do. Even though he was a proud man, he was a good ruler, he loved his people and did not want the werewolf kingdom to go into extinction.
He listened and made an immediate decision.
"The seer cannot come today. She will be here in two days so everyone must wait for two days.Stay in the palace, enjoy yourselves but be on guard." The king told his people.
Clapping his hands, he signaled for the end of the meeting to be recovenned in two days.
While everyone stood for the royal family to exit the hall, among the Alphas gathered was Sebastian Knowles, Alpha of Blood Moon Pack and Elizabeth's ex.
He looked at the royal family and something familiar struck him. The princess Sharon looked the spitting image of Elizabeth. The only difference was their eyes and hair colors.
That was where the differences ended. Every other thing was the same. Is Elizabeth from the royal family? He wondered.
While he stood stupefied, his beta, Conor nudged him, "Are you thinking what I am thinking?"
"Was Luna a princess?" They thought in unison and looked at each other in horror.
What have they done? They are as good as dead if anyone ever found out about them.
"Now go and find out everything you can. Inquire about Elizabeth, let's see if it's really true." Sebastian ordered.
"Okay Alpha," Conor left to carry out the task leaving Sebastian alone.
If Elizabeth was a princess,then what was she doing in the human world? "Elizabeth, what else have you not told me?" He wondered.
The following morning, Sharon Mason, the princess was walking around the pack grounds with her guards when she bumped into Conor.
"Hey watch your step," she called.
Conor bowed at the sight of the princess. "Thank you, your highness." He continued to look at the beautiful regal princess, tongue tied.
Sharon noticed the poor man still looking on.
"Any other thing , stranger?"
" Forgive my rudeness princess but you look exactly like someone I know."
"Really?" Sharon asked with a raised brow giving a small smile. That was a lame pick- up line, she thought.
"I am very serious, Princess," Conor insisted, falling into pace with Sharon . The guards tried to restrain him but she raised a hand to indicate that it was okay.
"So stranger, where did you see that person, hmmm?" Sharon asked with a smile.
" She was the Luna of our pack, unfortunately she and my Alpha had to part ways due to a misunderstanding." Conor told her.
"Really? I look like her?" Sharon asked.
"Very! Do you by any chance have a sister or cousin?"
A shadow flew past her face as Conor watched closely .
"No, I don't have a sister," her voice hardened . They have been warned to never mention her name.
"If that is all, I will be taking my leave then,
Goodbye."
" Goodbye princess." he waved.
Conor looked on while the princess continued walking on, something fishy was going here, I must let Seb know, he thought.
When Sharon reached the inner walls of the Palace, she stopped and leaned on a pillar. She placed her hand on her chest and heaved a heavy sigh. What was that stranger talking about? Has he really seen Elizabeth? Where? Oh goddess, what now?
Two Days Later.....
The King's Court.
At the feet of the king sat an ancient looking Shaman . All her hair had turned gray. She looked scary. The whole court was in dead silence.
"Welcome, Eyes of the Goddess. You know why I summoned you here today. Tell us, what is the way forward?" King Gorgis greeted the shaman.
With a staff in hand, the old woman stood up and looked at no one in particular. All the Alphas in the court held their breaths. This old lady was as scary as hell.
The Shaman hit her staff on the ground with a superhuman strength and everywhere shook as if there was an earthquake.
"What is happening here today is as a result of your sins, King Gorgis. You were cursed because you abandoned the daughter of the goddess.Bring back the abandoned Omega, or all werewolves will go extinct , she is to be the salvation of us all…" the shaman said in an eerie scary voice that sent chills down everyone's spine in the hall.
The shaman trailed by chanting some
incomprehensible things
" And you"
she pointed directly at Sebastian who was sitting on the second row,
"You must bring her back or you will know no peace."
Everyone turned to look at Sebastian who continued looking at the shaman.
What did she mean?
Shocked , both Gorgis and Sebastian looked at each other in confusion, each thinking very different thoughts.
" Act fast, there is no more time, she is the only one, the only one who can save us all…"
And just like that, the old lady disappeared right in front of everyone.
The whole court erupted into speculations, What did she mean? Whom was she referring to?
In the minds of the two main characters in this whole drama, there was only one name they could think of, Elizabeth….
