Venom’s POV
“Keep them bound! Don’t let them get out! I’ll think of something” I said that with no hopes of the best idea coming through.
I walked out of them, and strolled through the pack. The only thought that came to mind was to take a survey of the pack, and see just what damages had been caused by these men. I needed to ensure that my people were all safe, and that all of their destroyed properties were restored for their comfort.
But as I walked through, and viewed the pack, I arrived at a point which seemed like a region not under my control. I was at the border separating my pack from another pack, an uncertain pack.
I sighted people, dressed in a manner which was different from others. They seemed happy, but at the same time strict and well protected. Their guards were all around, standing with their swords and having their eyes scout round their territory.
I hid behind a very large tree, trying to make myself unseen from their sight. I had the weirdest feeling that these men knew what was happening to my pack, and they were responsible for the destruction of my pack.
Then it dawned on me, an idea which popped in my mind. I was going to infiltrate their pack, and act like one of them. Perhaps if I resided with them and acted like one of them, then I would know what had caused them to place my pack as a subject for attack.
The idea resided in my head for a while but I reconsidered after giving time and thoughts to the issue. It might just be easy for them to spot me and I would get spotted too quickly.
Exasperation from what was going on with the people filled my head and I returned back home. May was waiting, she was always waiting on me whenever I would appear late. I couldn’t appreciate her less for the efforts she was putting in with how much I had been doing.
“Good evening, welcome back, Venom.”
Maya’s POV
After all the drama the pack was going throughout, it was as if a reign of darkness had befallen us. Maybe this was the usual pack affairs that Venom would usually go through, but it was something unusual to me.
I had witnessed executions, suspects and murders all around. I was riding to the courthouse as I thought about these things. I had taken up the duty of the Luna thanks to Venom.
“Ma’am, are you okay back there?” The driver asked me.
For a moment there I had been carried away already, he probably didn’t see me make any movements and that was why he asked.
“Yes, I’m doing okay.” I replied to him and adjusted my dress where I sat down.
We got to the courthouse soon and a case was on ground already. Venom had gone ahead and only invited me to appear later. I got in and the proceedings had begun already.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Venom was seated on a high throne and he overlooked everyone from that point. The elders of the council and the guards who were situated at different corners.
“May we begin.” He ordered and the process began for the case to be embarked on.
The case ended with orders for the culprits that they had caught to be put in prison alongside the others they still had. It was more than obvious that Venom had nothing planned and I thought I would talk to him as soon as the whole thing was done.
Everyone in the courthouse looked tired or exhausted, the weight was weighing everyone’s emotion in the pack down, I could tell because Venom had changed and he seemed really different from how he used to be.
He was jovial and enthusiastic, but he was more of a stern and dry person with emotions. It was getting me too worried.
As soon as we were done and I could go speak to him after he was done with the council of elders, I rushed to approach him.
“Venom!” I called him when I reached his side. He was discussing with the prison guards when I got to him.
“Please, give me some time.” He told them and brought me to his side so we could talk.
“How are you doing, my Luna?” He smiled, but I saw through it.
“I’m fine, I was more worried about you. How are you doing? You’re not yourself anymore.”
He sighed and he found somewhere to sit so we could discuss more.
“The pack issues are overwhelming. I wasn’t even expecting this after the time we had random people pulling different attacks on us.” He explained.
I gently placed my hands on his back and rubbed, maybe it would calm him or maybe that was what I wanted to do to him at the time, I simply did it, unbothered.
“Would you like to take time off after all of these today? You remember how you treated me when I had the hell’s pit fight coming. I think it’s time to return the favor.” I bent to check his face for a reaction since he bowed his head and I could clearly see a large smile from him.
“I did it!” I muttered to myself.
“What’s that?”
“Nothing,” I replied mischievously and left his side. “I’ll be waiting for you, be quick.” I told him.
He stood up soon after I left him and I watched him from a distance while he continued with his duties. I admired him a lot, I owed my freedom to him.
After a while or maybe it felt like that to me because I had done the waiting, he was through and we were ready to depart.
“One thing before we leave,” he told me and I looked puzzled at his statement, but in split seconds, he french-kissed me. I smiled and looked awkwardly around, but everyone just carried on with what they were doing.
“Now, we can go anywhere you would like.”
