"So mother, that is exactly how it happened." Beowulf excitedly narrated his ordeal to his mother. He selectively told her things that he knew won't get her angry. He couldn't tell her about the threat Amoux made. The words he said were something his mother would be worried about. If he mentions the threat, she would want to go to the priests to check if her son would be fine. Even though Beowulf knew most times, the priests only say things that she wants to hear. They might have every spiritual power. They might hear things directly from the gods, but they can't see the future.
"Oh my heaven! Heavenly goddess. You found a woman that interests you?" She asked, smiling and gushing over all of him. She stood up and began dancing the local Atilogwu dance.
"No wait mother, I am interested in all women. She only piqued my interest. She really is a perfect woman." He replied. He drew her close just so she could stop dancing. His mother frowned at him. She sat down on the bed before him.
"You are nothing like your father. He was a loyal man."
"Have you seen me with other women? Can't I just like all women? I only appreciate them from afar,"
"You cannot. See, cheating isn't only when you have sex with other people."
"But mom! I am not even betrothed to any of them yet. Even Ashina, she is someone I like but not married to yet." He argued.
"But that's being a womanizer. Except the priests, no one else is allowed to have two women." His mother replied.
"Not even the ultimate Alpha," Beowulf commented
"Not even your father." Beowulf knew why only the priests were allowed to have two wives. It's something he gets jealous of at times. They have a wife who is to be the mother of their worldly children and women, who will be mother of their spiritual children. These spiritual children are the ones who could become the next priests. Their children whom they had in order to satisfy their lust, were not worthy of being the priests. And this applies to every of the 12 priests who stand as mediators between the goddess and the people.
"And about father, how is he faring?" Beowulf asked.
"He is well enough. He is even glad to know that in a few months time, he will be having a daughter." She replied smiling
"But mom, you really didn't have to let him have a daughter, isn't he sharing more of his will into you?"
"You don't understand it yet. You will understand the happiness of being a father when Ashina gets you one." She said
"Mother!" He cried from cringe.
"But for an Ultimate Alpha to pass on his will, he needs to be at his happiest."
"I know right. And mother, that's why I am scared." Beowulf looked at his mother.
"Mother, I am only a hundred and ten years old. When I become the Ultimate Alpha, I would have to live healthily for the next eighty years. And the strength of my will, will determine if I will live long enough to finish the remaining sixty years of my reign." He said.
"There is no death in your eyes son. It has been a long time since a succeeding Alpha has been the son of the preceding Alpha."
"All the more why we need to be scared," Beowulf argued.
"It's why you should be patient and be at rest. Your will was strong enough. You discovered your "void" at a young age."
"Don't call it void yet if I am not the ultimate Alpha."
"To me son, you are my Alpha. My Ultimate Alpha. You have always been and will remain forever." His mother said. She drew him close, and kissed his forehead. She placed his forehead before hers. Beowulf smiled. At least before he gets his own Luna, the former Luna is perfect. She makes him happy.
In one of his classes with the priest, he had been asked to ask for the kind of woman he wanted. Without any doubt, he had said he wanted a woman like his mother.
"Boy! You are deluded. Blinded by your love for your mother that you perceive her to be the best among women." The Older wolf priest said. The priests are always in their werewolf form. Once they assume their spiritual journey as a priest, they shift to their werewolf form forever. Shifting back to their human form or their Dire Werewolf form is a crime, hence might be killed by blood moon.
"But it is what I want." He argued with the older wolf priest.
"What you want isn't what you need," the priest argued with his raspy voice. His raspy voice didn't come from old age, but it came from countless years of shouting. Calling on names. Chanting of praises and summoning spirituals made his voice become harsh.
"What do you think I need then,"
"You need the best woman for you. You and your father do not have the same personalities. So the women who will be able to handle both of you won't be the same."
"Despite that…"
"It's accepted that you love your mother. But you can ask for a mother like your mother for your children, but your perfect woman. Only your father knows the kind of woman your mother is." The priest had advised.
"Be careful what you ask the goddess,"
But now, with his mother's before him, Beowulf doesn't care. He wants the kind of woman who will make him happy. A woman just like his mother.
"And you think your father would appreciate that you want to take his woman in addition to his life and title?" A voice interrupted their mother and son session.
"Edon!" the Ultimate Luna called. She stayed away from her son and gave a broad smile to the approaching man.
"Oh! Uncle Edon," Beowulf greeted. He stood up and gave his uncle a viking handshake.
"My Lady! Good day. Be in peace," Edon greeted the Luna
"Same to you, Edon. I have asked of you since, where have you been?"
"Places that required my presence," he replied. Edon and Luna looked at each other. Creating a moment of silence. Beowulf expected them to say something. He thought they were going to keep talking and that was why he kept out of the conversation that he thought would ensue.
"And here he is," Beowulf broke the silence
"And here I am," Edon quipped.
"Beowulf! I have something to discuss with your uncle. Why don't you go to your father and tell him of your discovery," she advised.
" Of course mother," Beowulf greeted his uncle one more time and headed to the palace.

Chapter 52
Good morning Sir!” a calm female voice rang past Dr. Hugh Henow’s ear, just when he took the diversion towards his office in Lagos City Police Department. Oh, God! Here we go again. Is there any day people realize that you don’t want to talk to them? That even the best greetings they offer might sound so shrill to your ears. Moments you just want to be alone.“Morning!. How are you?” he responded less aggressively than he intended to. If he gives a cold reply very early in the morning, she would be wary of coming to him throughout the day. “I am fine sir,” she noticed the lack of interest and coldness in his reply. Now hold on. Not like she was interested in greeting him. She is only doing this because she has a message for him. Even if he is her superior, he has no right over. He is not even her employer.He kept on walking. She hurried towards him.“Dr. Williams wants to see you.” She whispered behind him. Hu
Chapter 51
Dr. Hefner Eric has been the coroner for the Lagos state police department, Allen District for as long as his certificate was handed to him 20 years ago. He didn’t get to stay that without his super apt sense of discerning. He was one of the best they have got and is the only one available when the need for one arrived. Despite being forty-three years old, he is still one to jump around when called to work. The reluctance other staff younger than him would show, was never in him since he began. Just like every Thursday, he was always sleeping over at the station. He was called to check out the corpse of a boy at Allison Baker's way. A police restriction line had been created 2 hours before Dr. Hefner got there. The Lagos city Police Department had received a call early in the morning from a woman who wasn’t ready to reveal who she was."Hello. Oh my God” she cried to the phone“911. What’s your emergency”“a man is

Has anyone else planned for something and it went just according to plan? Or perhaps you didn’t plan, you only wished for it to happen and it did? Even though it is out of your control? Of course, there would be lots of people. And some never got their plans into reality because of some unfortunate factors. Sadly, Tobi belonged to the second category of people on this particular day.Since his arrival at school, he had been anticipating the arrival of Amanda Dram. The way her presence spoke to him, the way it stimulates self-calming hormones in him is something he can’t have enough of. He needed to see her. To speak to her, but she wasn’t in school. And there was no way in hell he would go meet the principal to ask him about her. That would be creepy, wouldn’t it? He doesn’t want to create a bad impression of himself to anyone yet.After school ended and he couldn’t see her, there was only one thing left for him to do. To go see his Pharmacist.<
Chapter 49
Present-day. Open earth.“don’t… now… drink… night...” incoherent words like these were the only thing Tobi could make out from the argument of his parents. His mother’s high-pitched voice woke him. He already knew what the situation was, but he wasn’t going to interfere. He knew what would stem out of him interfering. He could hear his dad’s sloppy voice. He didn’t bother standing from his bed. The Christian early morning criers haven’t begun ringing their bells. Nor the Muslim’s crier. Not like he needed to worship their God, but those people were just some sort of alarm. The sudden creak of his door’s room sent chills to his spine. He jumped. He switched the light on.“Are you still sleeping, boy? Your father wasn’t home last night and you didn’t bother asking for his whereabouts?” his mom screamed. He looked at her pitiable appearance. Her hair tangled all around. Even her pajamas are rumpled. He knew she must have been in some sort of scuffle
Chapter 48
Run my lady!" Edon cried. "Run as fast as you can." He and a female werewolf were being chased by a pack of twelve fierce-looking werewolves. They were being chased through the wood but the female werewolf can't pick up enough speed to outrun the werewolves as she would. She is the Ultimate Luna of Noguchi. A world set aside from the human world with a large amount of magic. It has a barrier that keeps its inhabitants from interfering in human lives and vice versa. She just gave birth to a werewolf half a day ago and is unable to run. She could have healed five hours after she gave birth but during the birth, she has been using her power to conceal her and her Alpha's brother's presence. Both of them had left the Ultimate den in search of a hunt or more like so she could see him hunt. Just to pass time. She had been pregnant for the past one and a half years. She was expecting the baby anytime soon but never expected it to be the day she decided to go through the woods. "My lord,
Chapter 47
Dun knows better than rushing to the Volde pack to share information with Skoll. It's been two weeks since she and Skoll had agreed. Skoll hasn't given her enough information to convince her of who killed her daughter, but she doesn't mind sharing him information. The first time she gave him information about the Ultimate Luna and Edon. He wondered how that piece of information was useful to him. He knew they were friends. Very close one. But why does she have to make it an important issue? She noticed the disappointment on his face. The second time they met, she told him about Audolf and other things that went on, in the palace. And she mentioned Edon and the Ultimate Luna. "Do you mean both of them go into the woods, just for walks?" Skoll asked her. She could feel the restraint in his voice. He was trying his best not to get angry. "Yes! And I have been with them once. It's just Edon, her, and maybe two maids," "I see," Skoll agreed. But today, she fell out of favour with the
