《The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince》Chapter 141 - Sedora
Advertisement
The Silver Mansion was abuzz with activity. Caleb and Pia had ensured that in the absence of Daryn, Caleb is pronounced as the heir apparent and next in line to become the King of the Silver Clan. For that Caleb had pressurized his father by telling him that without the announcement of the heir apparent, the outer forces, the enemies would try to gain control of the position of the Silver Clan. Pia was sitting with him when he had this conversation with Gayle.
Gayle was well aware of the fact that his elder son was hurrying up the whole process only to smooth his ascension to the position of the Alpha. He hard pressed his lips when he heard them. This conversation had taken place the day they had returned.
"Caleb, you must wait for your brother's return. We should wait for him for a month at least. What is the hurry?" he said.
Caleb knew that the moment he would be proclaimed at the next king, there would be no way that his family would back track. They will have to proceed with the plans, else it would look extremely flimsy on their part to keep changing the plans, which was a sign that internally they didn't stand together. This was one thing his father didn't approve of. It was a different thing that both he and his wife were like sly foxes.
"No father!" he said in a high voice. "We cannot show others that because of Daryn, who ran after his wife rather than looking after the responsibilities of the position he held, we as the Silver Clan are weak."
Pia nodded in agreement.
"You must make the announcement now," Caleb insisted.
Gayle took in a deep breath. He said with anger in his eyes, "I will look into it and when I see it deem, I will announce this change. You may leave." He was too upset at the way Caleb was behaving.

"Okay father, but don't take long," said Caleb and left.
When they were going back to the place where they lived, another one of Silver's property, Blue Sapphire, Pia said, "Call your mother Caleb. She is going to help you with this situation. She thinks from her mind and not heart like your father. Your mother, Sedora, will wield her power on him."
Caleb shuddered at the name of his mother. He looked outside the window.
"Don't be scared Caleb," said Pia as she squeezed his hand in hers. "She is one of the most feared people in the Silver Clan and it is also because of her that you people have secured this high position over the years. If she backs you, Gayle would not be able to go against her."
"You are right," replied Caleb. He took his phone out and dialed Sedora's number. She had been cruising on the outskirts of the Amazon forests for endeavors not known to anyone.
Sedora came back home a day later after listening to Caleb.
She confronted Gayle the moment she stepped in the Silver Mansion.
Gayle was half-sitting on his bed after having dinner. He had his glasses on and had covered himself with the blanket. The dim light of the bedside lamp was falling on the document he was reading. He had called his people to make sure that Cole was safe and secure. He was about to return from his school trip the next day. He was sipping warm water when he was disturbed by a soft knock on the door.
"Hello Gayle."
Gayle turned to look at her and his jaw pressed into a hard line. It was not difficult to guess why she was there. He was suspecting this already.

"Hello Sedora," he returned the greeting and went back to reading.
Sedora ambled beside him and sat at the edge of the bed. Her lips curled up into a smile.
"How are you?" she asked resting her hands back and supporting her body over it.
"Never better," he replied. Although on the inside he missed his younger son greatly.
She gave a soft laugh. He could sense the venom the laughter was laced with.
"What do you want? What do I owe your gracious presence for?" he asked just as sarcastic as she was.
Sedora came to the point straightaway. "You very well know that both Daryn and his neotide of a wife would never return."
"No, I am certain they will return," he replied looking straight in her eyes.
She scoffed. "Maybe. In either case, Caleb should be pronounced at the heir apparent and I don't want to see any delay in it." She got up from the bed and started to walk out of the door. Before leaving she said, "Don't go against me or you know the consequences you would suffer."
When she left, Gayle threw the document on the floor. He was trembling with anger.
The ceremony was supposed to take place the next day. Important dignitaries of the werewolves of some influential clans were invited for lunch. The purpose of invitation was stated clearly.
Back at the Silver Arcade, Dawn and Daryn were so exhausted from the entire journey that they didn't wake up until the sunbeams were glaring at them through the window. Dawn lay on her stomach as her head rested in the folds of his arms. He was sleeping without a tension in the world. A loud knock on the door woke them up.
"Wake up Dawn! Where the hell were you all these days?" came Cole's panicky voice.
At first Dawn thought that it was just a dream but then she sprang up when she realized that it was Cole.
Daryn opened his eyes and saw her throwing the blanket off her and leaping out of the bed. He was not wearing his shirt and had slept in his pajamas that he had managed to wear somehow.
Dawn opened the door and exclaimed, "Coleeee!" She hugged him tightly and said, "I missed your bro!"
Cole stumbled a step back and then hugged her back. "Where did you go? I was so worried about you. Gayle had told me that you had gone for an extended vacation. Could you not call me and tell me about your plans?" He complained.
"I am sorry," she said as tears ran through her eyes. She was not even sure that she would ever meet him again.
And then Cole complained more.

Mana Soul
Like many others across the multiverse, Markus was chosen as this world's hero to fight against the steadily approaching cataclysm. Only, something went horribly wrong. Left with only a handful of memories, Markus has spent years clawing his way up from poverty and officially registered as an adventurer to try and make his fortune. Unfortunately, Artificers are the least combat-capable class of the four classes, and Markus has no connections to join an established party. With the fate of countless worlds hanging in the balance, a chance meeting will determine the course of a war nearly as old as reality itself. Warning: Markus has trauma induced amnesia and will occasionally 'act out of character' or make 'poorly thought out' decisions. These events are rather obvously telegraphed abd represent conflicts between his current personality and the one repressed alongside his trauma. Just something to bear in mind.The story will bounce predominantly back and forth between the primary protagonists every couple of chapters. The time stream is linear, so events are not revisted/rehashed/retold through the narrative format. Characters may comment on something that has occurred, but that's different. Just giving a heads up.Chapters will be around 7-9k and updated 1/week on the same schedule as my other story Ogre Tyrant over the weekend.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The ancient name of Blackwood is one steeped in myth and legend. Suddenly appearing at the end of the age of the mad gods—shortly before the war that tore the world asunder and heralded the end of the era—and is said to have belonged to the greatest warriors of the old world. Old tomes, found within the depths of the hidden city Amagani, tells of their bravery and valor, more than any mortal could have held.
