A WAVE IN THE DARK

CHAPTER FOUR-I WILL COME BACK FOR YOU

The air is cleared, it is dark, the party is over and everyone is gone.

Lambert couldn't wait for the next morning he ran straight to Alpha Austerb.

Oh Lambert, you have done a great job today.

Thank you Alpha. I want to have a discussion with you.

Ok go ahead

You have already betrothed k****e as my wife to be, we were waiting for the full moon then we will do the wedding remember.

Yes I do, why do I need to be reminded?

Well because you proclaimed that Lubrom can choose any of the Female wolves before morning and she will be his.

Are you sure about that, I said that?

ok then he can choose any one else but not k****e of course.

Well I don't think he will get that if you don't tell him.

Ok send for him immediately before morning comes let me make things clear to him

Kindle Lubrom commented you look astonishingly beautiful today, and there is something I want you to tell you.

Kindle exhalled she couldn't wait to hear it. She winged her tials in consentment drawing a map on the ground with her feet and her hands folded over at the back, raising her head like an ostrich.

I will also love to tell you something but you go first

No you go first Lubrom insisted.

But I would love to ask you first, how did you become so brave .

I was raised in the forest alone with my mum.

I survived all by myself without any help right from childhood

And then tell me where did you get your beauty from?

Oh ... . about that k****e smiled from the Moon goddess I guess down to my mother.

My mum died when she had the death of my father she couldn't take it

Am so sorry for your loose, they made a very nice parent

Thank you.

Lubrom would you love to see an olive tree?

I planted it some months old now but so beautiful,

Of Course I will…. Love to see it

Lambert stood on the way like a statue,

Well well well, the party is over and I guess everyone should return home

Alpha wants to have a word with you Lubrom. Lambert declares

Ok I hope everything is ok

Let's find out

As they got to Alphas chamber

Oh my great hero please have a seat but I called with immediate effect in order to set things right.

It is not our custom to give out a betrothed mate to another.

Kindle is betrothed to Lambert so you can choose any other female wolves but not k****e.

This sounds like what Lubrom would not want to hear but then he adjusted himself, understood Alpha.

Great so you can go now.

That is what we want to clarify.

Alpha I must say I want to carry out the wedding immediately since the moon is full. I don't want to waste anymore time.

Then let go ahead and make preparations ready for another party

I guess still on the moon of celebration

First we just defeated our enemy

Our water restored

And now marriage celebration wow…the moon goddess must be on our side, Lubrom I must thank you for coming to us now you have really brought us a lot of happiness already.

It's my pleasure Alpha.

Ok let's go to bed tomorrow we will announce the wedding preparations. Luna must be so happy to hear this.

Alpha left immediately leaving them behind.

Ok now I think you know the truth she is mine

Well Lambert I never intended coming in between anyone so you don't have to worry.

Well I am worried, please when are you leaving.

Good night Lambert.

Lubrom couldn't sleep that night. He thought of k****e all through the night. Why didn't she tell him about this?

Does she really love him?

Kindle had a knock on his door, when she opened there Lambert stood

I told Alpha, prepare yourself because there is no time, we are getting married.

Lambert we need to talk k****e said

There is nothing to talk about, you don't have a say in this, it is my marriage I am the one that gets to make all the decisions.

And that reminds me I don't want to see that Lubrom again.

Kindle stood helplessly watching him leave the door, she wondered what to do.

Then she ran straight to see Lubrom, but while she tried to knock on the door it opened by itself, she walked and discovered that Lubrom was gone.

No she screamed as she ran out in search of him, when she got out she met Lubrom already on his way out.

No please don't leave me she shouted, holding him tight.

Kindle you are his wife to be

why didn't you tell me you should have at least let me know.

Please am sorry I couldn't tell you because I…... .was looking for a chance and everything happened so fast and I can't imagine losing you……and then ... .I don't even, I don't even..

Hey k****e Lubrom held her, put yourself together ok calm down

Alpha is fully in support of this marriage and I can't come in between you two

so I have to go

No Lubrom I don't love him, is you I love

Is you I want to be with, it is you, my heart is meant for, you make me happy please Lubrom I don't want to marry..him

Oh no k****e I wish I could do anything about this, I love you too I was going to tell you early this night before Alpha called.

Alpha is a good leader, I don't want trouble

Then what about me, don't you care about how I feel, don't I have the right to choose whom I will spend the rest of my life with, how can I marry someone I don't even love.

Kindle you are already betrothed to him

I mean we should not even be having this conversation right because you are his

Lubrom

I can never be his, I am yours

when I got betrothed to him I was afraid that he was going to kill me if I didn't agree

But when I meant you, you taught me bravery and courage,

I learnt to draw strength from your arms. And now I have made my decision that I want you and not him and once the morning comes I will tell Alpha

Alpha and Luna they only want my happiness, they will surely support us.

Ok k****e but you have to go now I feel so weak I need some rest

My love you can't be weak with me, I want to be your strength, I love you from my heart

Kindle begins to touch his head, She slowly comes closer with her eyes closed. I love you k****e Lubrom said touching every single part of her face while he spreads his fingers across her lips, gently kissing her.

Lubrom! Lambert shouted

Lambert she doesn't love you and you know it.

Lambert instantly took the arrow and drew it furrowly on him but k****e stood on the gap and was wounded…….

Lubrom felt so week and couldn't do anything about it

Lubrom fight you are a brave wolf k****e Lamented out of pains

No…. honey not today

Guards k****e shouted as she bleeded pointing at the guards

No…. Lambert said they are all working for me now, I know this moment is coming so I planned for it

Lubrom can't pick a pin now because I surked his clothe today on the the weakening spell

That is why we wore the same cloth so that I can exchange it and everything was all perfect when our hero went to restore our water I exchanged the cloth

Lambert you are so cruel and wicked

I hate you, I will never marry you

Lubrom fell down flat under the spell, what are doing Lubrom oh…my love don't worry I will ll come back for you k****e said giving up also

Lambert wolf gangs took Lubrom away.?

Listen, take him far away in the forest, torture him very well and then kill him.

Call the healer immediately.

My mate is dying

Am not your mate, bring back Lubrom where are you taking him….

Kindle I will wait till you are healed then we will do our wedding.

I will never marry you, Alpha and Luna will punish you.

No my love there is no stupid Alpha and Luna only me my love

What did you do to Lambert?

What is your plan?

Where have you taken them to? but now she couldn't stay when the healer came she was already dying

How is she Lambert asked, she is dead healer said but I will take her and still work on her the charms might bring her back

Ok Lambert said go with her……

What did Lambert do to Alpha and Luna

Will k****e die?

Will Lubrom regain his strength or will he be weak forever?

What happens to the pack?

Will Lubrom take over the wolf pack?
