Alex gingerly picked his way down the gravel path to go outside the palace and check what was going on. The howling had stopped but he needed to confirm. He walked past the royal garden. A garden that has welcomed guests in the years past now and will probably be invaded by their enemies if he doesn't fight this war with his power.

Alex gritted his teeth, anger firing his blood as it did when he first saw his sister murdered in cold blood. He could also remember from childhood when his stepmother died.

As always, his fury mixed with a grudging attitude to how stupid and weak his father had been to have allowed all his family to be killed. Now they are seeking to kill him but he would make sure he lets them know he is smarter and wiser. Everywhere was silent and when he got to the bushy part where nobody was staying and it was miles away from his palace, all he could hear was the cricket sound.

"I know you're out there. Come outside and show yourself."

    Alex looked at Bagdana curiously as he asked, "Who the heck is Alichino?" Bagdana chuckled and walked around him graciously. "Why are you surprised? Didn't your mother ever tell you anything?" "My mother is late." He swallowed hard as he said those words. He hated to talk about her since she died before he even knew her. "Oh, dear me. She finally gave in to the mortal end." His reaction looked pained and real. There was silence for a long time before Alex decided to talk again. "I need to know who you are, why you're calling me a strange name, and all other nonsense stuffs you are performing right now. Just fucking tell me!" Bagdana held out his hand towards him. "I am Bagdana, it's nice to finally—" "My name is Alex. King Alex. Alpha of the Wolf Pack, King of Forester." He held his gaze for a while as he said those words as if he was trying to let them sink into his memory. His cold steel-blue eyes fixed on him. Bagdana moved away from him and faced the dark alleyway that stre

    He fumbled his way to the window. In the street he could hear the cry of frightened horses stomping in the mud, their hooves crackling against the stones of the walls that kept them in place. Far below him where he could see passers-by, he could see a terrified-looking beautiful lady looking around and screaming loudly. Almost like a screech.The screaming grew louder and louder as the horses kept running about. Wolves rushed out of the palace to surround her and it felt like a war was about to go on. But, she was only a woman in need of help.Rex looked through his binoculars and saw what he had been waiting for. Who, he had been waiting for—the star whom the soothsayer had asked him to wait for."Can it be true?" He wondered aloud as he rubbed his face nervously with his hands. "It can't be. How do I explain to my wife that I'm going to marry another woman? She'll think it's because she hasn't given me a child." He pondered to himself.In the east, the sun began slowly to rise. It w

    The clock struck 8:30 am and as Selena woke up, she looked to her side and saw that it was empty. Again, Alex hadn't slept in. She could hear the birds singing and the sun was high in the clouds. She got down from the bed but stumbled upon a large wrapped box on the study table where Alex had been sitting the previous night before they had gotten intimate with each other. Her stomach churned at the thought and if she had done the right thing, Alex wouldn't have left her stranded in the room. She took the large silk-covered package and walked back to the bed, where she placed the object on her lap. As she slowly unwrapped the parcel, her excitement grew. Had Alex dropped a gift for her? What has been going on lately? "You found the gift earlier than I thought it would take." She lifted her eyes and she could see Alex by the door, dressed casually in a grey shirt and black pants. His hair was still wet which indicated he had just gotten out of the shower. Without her. Without her? Why

    Author's Note: As we all know already, this is not a regular werewolf story. It has a combination of almost every supernatural being. The main powers of most of our main characters are wolves. Best believe that this book is intriguing, and captivating and doesn't focus on just the main leads. If you've always wanted something of this sort, welcome home, Alphabeticans. KEep REading what you LOve! Krepe sat at the long table and stared into the fading embers of the fire. Ethan slumped in a large wooden chair by the hearth. He had in one hand a bottle of scotch as he stared into space. Ethan must have been shooting arrows again. "You look like you're not ready for a conversation, Ethan." Krepe started to say. "I thought you'd at least wait till when I call the shots before planning when to attack." Ethan just sat down there, without moving and he almost thought his nephew had fallen asleep. "I would say we do this with care, though. Forester is not a place we can majestically walk in a

    Alex grabbed Bagdana out of Selena's room to the drawing room as he made to inquire about what he just told him. "What did you mean by activating my orb? I still don't get you." "Well, Alichino..." "Alex." He corrected, eyes shut tightly in frustration. "It's Alexander, thank you. You may proceed." "So, according to the book which I told you about. It's called the Galaxus. It was compiled by ancient idols and spirits and poltergeists and many more. We had from Jove, Poseidon, and damn, I even got from the goddess of wisdom, Athene..." "Just cut to the chase, will you?" "Okay, the thing is. You can't really understand unless I have the book. The only thing I remembered when creating you...I mean the orb was that your powers will be activated when you mate with your fated partner. I quoted the book." He looked up as if he was trying to remember more words. "And the person..." "Why didn't you choose my brother?" He asked and it was as if he has had the question for years. "Why n

    "Selena?" He called gently and she was sure he was shocked by the way she acted but she had just learned something vital from what he had said when he said he didn't want her to leave the Palace. He must have cared so much for her and she was grateful for that. "I'm sorry if I had been so harsh earlier. I know I shouldn't have been disrespectful, given how you just want to protect me." She looked up at him, a small smile playing on her lips. "Thank you." "Um..." He chuckled nervously as if he was lost for words and didn't know what to say. "That was...today is your birthday, just enjoy it." Slowly, he disentangled himself from her embrace and walked past her but she grabbed his arm. "I can't enjoy this birthday until I see my Dad. Can't I go just this once?" Alex groaned and turned. "You don't seem to understand, do you?!" He spat. "Every corner is dangerous and I cannot risk losing another member of the palace." Her heart sank. He didn't want her to go because he didn't want t

    It has been two hours already since she had a discussion with Alex and she decided to wait in her room for her Father. Many things crossing her mind. Marrying Alex had involved lots of uncertainty. It felt like she was marrying a total stranger but marrying him seemed good which is something she guessed is a good sign he was meant for her and they may end up forever. After Craig's death, she thought of freedom, she thought she would be finally free from marrying her father's choice, she thought she would be able to travel freely, fall in love and get married to the man of her dreams but she didn't expect another marriage proposal a day after Craig died. But had she really moved on? She asked herself. Hadn't she given in to her feelings again, trying to make Alex fall for her too? Was he right when he said she was still grieving Craig? Even Craig didn't make her blood boil in excitement just like he did, so of what effect is his death on her romantic life? What's more important is

    "Then I shall see you some other time when I'm not busy with work." Drake kissed his daughter's forehead as they walked out to the hallway."It's okay." In spite of being in her best behavior, her voice had a begrudging and breathless quality. "That's what you've always done. Work.""What about I take you out to dinner tonight to celebrate your birthday?" Selena just smiled and shook her head before walking back to her room. He watched her walk with dignity and pride and his heart swelled with pride. Exactly what he'd always dreamed of."Why suggest tonight? Don't you have other things engaging you?" A deep voice sounded behind him. It was intense."I am... engaged this evening." He needed to see his acquaintance immediately, especially with what he'd just discovered but he must be careful so as not to blow his cover.He turned to look into the eyes of a tall, dark man with interesting eyes. He was smiling knowingly at him. The man looked strange and Drake wondered what he was doing i

    "Bagdanas?" Alex called at the tall, dark man that stood beside him with his arm outstretched and a huge line of red lightning coming out of his palms. He was gritting his teeth. "You came for me." He muttered and he looked at him gratefully. When Bagdanas would drop his arm and turn to him, Alex grabbed him and embraced him. "You did come for me!" He said excitedly. Bagdanas nodded and took a glance at Sathanas. "You have failed this time again, Father. However, this one would be different from before. You will be erased from existence and your name will no longer be in the mouth of anyone." He said, his face strong and rigid. "My treacherous son. Let's see how you'll stand up against my other children who have proven to be so loyal." Sathanas mocked but Alex huffed. "Really? Let's see what you've got to say about this then." Someone stepped up beside them both and swirled her sword. "I'm sorry Father, but I've chosen this path." "Asmodeus?!" Sathanas thundered. "Unfortun

    THIS CHAPTER IS A THROWBACK TO SOME OF CHER'S CONVERSATIONS WITH HER DAD"Come in."A young lady pushed open the door at the landing, holding around her the hooded cloak. Coming to the hyena territory at this time may seem unwise but she had to be in on the plan as she now seems confused. She has heard of the unfortunate fate of many ladies who walk around the place at that time. Especially if they are not shifters. Non-Shifters are people who are purely human.As she stepped into the room, she was met with a comforting smell of burnt coffee and flowers wafting through her nostrils. A few candles burnt in the corner of the room illuminating only a few parts where a man sat wearing a hat. The moon in its half form shone through a long window that overlooked a huge part of the garden outside. The rest of the space is filled with a stool, and two empty glasses that showed a visitor had just left.

    Selena opened her eyes to see fire and brimstone falling, together with screaming and crying for help. She straightened but then realized she had been tied to a pole. She was kept in a cage made of huge iron bars. There was no way she could escape. Talking of escaping, she was too weak to even try.She squinted her eyes to see clearly but the only thing she saw was rocks and stones all over with smoke emanating from every area of the place. She knew immediately that she was in hell. But how? Thinking back to when she was at the bar, she could remember a young good looking Italian guy coming over with a glass of chardonnay on a tray."Your order?" She looked from the booth where she had paid extra to sit, alone.She remembered not having ordered anything yet and she didn't want to let down her guard anytime soon. However, this vibrant-looking man was here in a black and white shirt and trousers uniform stretching a tray o

    Alex was furious as he got into the room. He couldn't fight this battle alone. He had gone five blocks from Chelsea's house and asked around for Chris's parents but he was told no one around born such a name. And there hasn't been any stranger in the past two months. Chris wasn't Chris or maybe he was and was just used.But what about Selena? Where the hell was she? Even if she was upset, she should be ready to come home so as to resolve the matter. He was worked up even when almost all the bars and every other place she could go to had been shut. It indicated that Selena has been kidnapped too. He had only one way to solve this. Go down to hell. But how? By going back to Forester. He would have to find someone who could channel him there. The last time he'd tried, demons had been freed. It was at this point Alex was beginning to miss Bagdana.He breathed in and out before resolving to go back to Forester and settle this once and for all.

    Dressed in a black and white striped woolen top and jeans that stuck to her body, Chelsea walked next to Chris on the street, hands locked. They could pass as couples to anyone looking at them and it made her toes curl. In as much as she was happy that her crush was here, taking her out, she still was worried about him. She had seen what these demons could do, especially to people who are unarmed. But she wouldn't let any harm come to Chris.They branched a cafe and bought two vanilla grande lattes with six pumps that are hot. They got out and walked out, heading to the restaurant."So, how are you feeling, Chels?" Chris asked, their hands still locked and she looked up at him."I'm trying. This is really hard for me but, I have no choice. It's like my destiny to tied to do this." Chelsea shrugged."Or maybe you don't have to worry yourself." Chris urged and she thought about it for a while. Eventual

    Selena felt uneasy with what Chelsea told her but she needed to hear from Alex himself so as to be sure if what she heard was right. Was that what Bagdana meant by her being created for Alex? And Sathanas in Krepe's body telling her Alex is nothing without her.It was dinner time and Chelsea had just finished making hot chicken soup. Unlike the city, Edison was quite warmer but with the season, it's more reasonable to have a chicken soup that hot. In the next few hours, the temperature will drop and they will be grateful they had a hot dinner. She also made casseroles and shrimp crackers, spreading them on the dining table. After settling, she waited for Alex to finish taking his shower and join them."I read in the papers today that the number of suicide shot up since last night. About ten people hung themselves this morning." Chelsea announced as she dished out food in their bowls.Selena just nodded but her mind was a

    Chelsea punched the number on the phone and Chris picked up. She was shaking all over and her face had swollen up. She raked a hand through her hair as the phone rang which he eventually picked up."What's up, Chels?"She couldn't speak, because as she opened her mouth, water streamed down her cheeks."The...the chants." She sniffled. "I think you told me the wrong one."Silence ensued and she knew he must be thinking. "Didn't you ask me to tell you the first transmission order?"Her heart jolted. "What?""Yes. That was what you told me, right?" Chris asked and her heart dropped so also did her body on the sofa nearby."No." She cried softly."Are you okay, Chels?" He asked, concern evident in his voice."We released hundreds of demons into the world." Her voice broke and she could see the horror look on his fa

    Alex looked up over the candles that were lit and gathered to form a circle in the abandoned temple. He had connived together with Selena and Cher to come to the temple just down the street at 4:06 am when it was still early.The temple had ancient bricks and cement that were broken in various places. It looked like it had served as a hiding place for people during wars. Alex looked around and saw the empty place that was in turn filled with broken bricks, rocks, torn fabrics, bags, wooden materials, and so on. They had cleared a small part of the place and lighted seven candles at the center as Chris instructed."Make sure whatever you do, be careful." Alex had heard the boy tell her and she nodded before hanging up.Now they had finished the setup. The seven candles were placed in a circle, two red fabrics were tied to metal and placed in the middle. Chelsea took the olive oil she had grabbed from the store and began t

    Alex woke with a start, sweating profusely and his heart thudding against his chest. He gripped the sheets tighter and something churned within him like fire. What had just happened? Sathanas had erased his mother from existence. How could he?Like a thunderbolt, he left his bed, eyes darkening. Selena stirred on the bed and turned on her other side. Good. Because he wouldn't want her to be involved. But how could he call on Sathanas, talk of fighting him? Besides, the book is now with him which he can use to destroy him. He would have read how to kill him. But he still needed to talk to Chelsea. She alone has the answers to most of their questions.He glanced at the bedside clock and saw that it was still at the wee hours of the day, 3:00 am. He grabbed a shirt and put it on, walking stealthily out of the hotel room.Alex got to the room next to his and rammed on the door, waiting for a reply.
