EKA: Tale of a Wounded Heart

A Seer in the Family

Jeet's breathing was normal and relaxed. Avadh ran his hand through his son's hair. Iker smiled as he looked at them. It has been so long since one of their kids found them at night because they can't sleep.

When Jeet was 7, was probably the last time and then he said he didn't want to be considered a baby and here he was. The terrible night has shook their son to the core.

They knew their son liked space while sleeping and probably his limps will be on their heads when they wake up, but that was okay.

Both parents fell asleep hugging their son.

------------

Arth smiled as he settled against Magnus' chest. Arth's legs barely reached Magnus' thigh and he rested his little feet on Jana's stomach instead. Jana was tightly wrapped around the father and the son.

------------

"I am so sorry," mumbled Carles.

Samuel held him closer.

"It is not your fault. I should have come along rather than go into a strop," said Samuel.

"Don't blame yourself," said Carles.

"Isn't it double standard?" asked Samuel, teasingly.

Carles scowled but let the man hug him closer.

------------------

The morning was calmer than usual at palace. There was a sense of peace after the end of the unrest in the border. It was evident as Avadh sat in the hall with Iker by his side as they read the news update. Jana was watching amused as Arth and Magnus refused to leave each other's side as he made Carles have some healthy food which he was obviously resisting. But Samuel was there to back him up.

Jeev let Ili lay on his lap as Clement was trying to talk the horror of the night out of the boy.

Antony was nowhere to be seen. Ahem and Cristian had called to let them know that Antony was in Ilse and asleep.

------------

The time for judgement came and Antony and his parents were back from Ilse. Ili tried to catch Antony's eyes to no avail.

Ahem however found him and did not let him leave his side after that. Cristian and Ahem loved him and Ili knew it.

--------------

Silvio and Slavic were exiled from Manowar. The west pack who did the kidnappings were given the death sentence.

--------------

"When we go home, Papa, miss Isco," said Arth.
Magnus looked at Jana who rolled his eyes at him.

"Soon, do you feel the call to go home?" asked Magnus.

In young wolves, the need to be home is strong. The older wolves grow out of it with age.

"But I miss grandpas, uncles and aunts," said Arth.

"I know, why don't we invite them to Hallerbo?" asked Magnus.

Arth nodded.

"I will go tell brotha that we can go home soon," said Arth and ran out to the hall room.

Magnus and Jana followed surprised.

They saw Arth run in and Samuel smiling and lifting him up onto the sofa. Carles smiled as Arth placed his hand on his tummy.

"We are going home," he told his brother in a hushed tone.

"Does he talk to you?" asked Avadh who was in the room with Iker.

Arth nodded happily.

"He does. His wolf is yellow," said Arth brightly.

"What else did he say?" asked Avadh.

"He said we should go home soon," said Arth.

"And?" asked Iker understanding that his husband was asking for something.

"That we should take everyone with us to Hallerbo," said Arth.

"Did he say why?" asked Iker.

Arth fell silent at that.

"Arth, what did he say kiddo?" asked Magnus.

"Danger. He said danger till Supermoon" said Arth and Carles was holding Arth to his chest, scared for the kids.

"When did he start talking to you?" asked Iker.

"After he started moving," said Arth.

"Does it happen often?" asked Iker to Avadh.

"It happens when there is a seer in the family. Samuel Carles Jr is a seer and that Arth is the future King of Manowar," said Cristian. He and Avadh exchanged a look.

"Okay, we are moving out of the palace as soon as possible. Half the family will stay in Ilse for the next three months, till the super moon," said Avadh.

"You are all coming with us," said Magnus brooking no argument and Avadh raised his eyebrow. Magnus cowered a bit but stood his ground because Jana was having the same staring contest with Baba.

"We accept," said Kanwar throwing his dad a glare.

What about Manowar?" wondered Viraat.

Grape and Grandpa Ethan is coming with us Grandpa Viraat," mumbled Arth.

"Okay, your highness, now come on, let me get you to your uncles," said Zaleno and picked him up and left giving them all a pointed look.

"Someone should leave first to make it habitable for everyone," said Magnus looking at Jana.

"We will go if you don't mind Brother. It would be difficult with Arth and Carles is pregnant. We are the best bet," said Jeev

Clement nodded.

"Okay, just don't let him do his shit in there. Ili? " asked Magnus.

"Yeah, I am going," said Ili.

"Antony, go and inform everyone in Ilse and keep this silent, all of you. No one should know that we have moved," said Cristian.

"Kanwar?" asked Avadh.

"I and Eka will go with Clem and Jeev," said Kanwar.

"Okay, now Vansh, go and inform Ethan. I would through the family link, but he won't get the seriousness and you know how Atrey is. I will tell Evan anyway," said Avadh.

Vansh nodded and left.

---------------

"Hale, get all the kids inside the palace, everyone of them and tell Pran that I will personally punish him if he deigns it fit to run off into the woods at all times," said Avadh getting up. Hale nodded and left. Viraat went off to set the transportation.

Avadh looked at Iker.

"We need to tell the family," said Avadh.

Iker nodded.

"Fuck, they are all going to be so worried," said Iker.

Of course, there was cause for the worry. It was on a Supermoon decades back that half the royal family was killed by the rogues.
