Today was the end for sure, if anyone stared at her in the wrong way or said the wrong words, she would lose it. It was just too much even for a strong alpha like herself. Alpha Ciandra wanted to ask a time out although one didn’t exist. It was overwhelming, the workload was increasing and she could clearly see it was not planning to end anytime soon. Alpha Karl’s death broke her than the news of still no return of her father, at least this, it meant, he was still alive somewhere. She had been happier when she had been informed of Gamma August’s return but it had disappeared the moment the wolf had told her the bad news. Alpha Ciandra shook off the thought of that day, she hated it to her core. She didn’t believe the alpha was dead and hell, she wasn’t the only one. Every werewolves from every pack claimed it was too soon and they didn’t believe the alpha was dead. Alpha Ciandra was preparing to head back to the Free Pack and no matter how many showers she took, she couldn’t get
“What the hell, Alpha Ciandra?” He asked, his voice filled with disappointment.Alpha Ciandra didn’t move from the position she was in, how could she when she was trying to come up with a reason as to why she was kneeling in front of the alpha who had his zipper down and was smiling goofily as if he had won a lottery?The dismay in his tone wouldn’t go amiss, clearly, Alpha August never expected this from Alpha Ciandra.What made Alpha Ciandra more uneasy and couldn’t come up with the correct words immediately was the fact that the man instead of calling his father’s name decided to call hers, why?Alpha Ciandra wanted the ground to open and swallow her alive. What would he think of her? For someone who never cared what others thought of her, she wasn’t looking forward to August thinking of her as someone who give heads to someone who wasn’t their mate and to make it worse, in another pack while they were mourning.“Uhm.” Alpha Ciandra cleared her throat as she ransacked through her h
His anger was directed more at himself than at anyone else, and since he was full of shit and would rather bury himself alive than ask anyone for help, he kept ransacking through his mind when, how, and where he started losing his shit. He was more of do it and do it, by himself. At least back then. Right now, thinking for the past few days, he could see that he has slacked in most of his duties, either delegating them to Alpha Ciandra, Beta Pierre, and the elders. He had to get back on the game before the pack thought he was a pushover. But how could he when his mind was in a loop with the same question? “Who kill them?” It wasn’t Alpha Alphonso and he was devastated more than he should have. The death of John and Alpha Karl had come like a tsunami into him and to make it worse when he asked his beta, he informed him he had no hand in it. He didn’t believe Beta Pierre, and after ten minutes of pushing, Beta Pierre flipped, claiming, he was right, Alpha Ciandra has built a home in
After calming him down, they both went into separate ways without saying a word. Alpha Ciandra didn’t understand what came over her, and neither did Alpha Alphonso. It was super weird for Alpha Alphonso to calm down after she touched him, this had never happened before. Even whenever he was angry at Luna Adrielle and she tried to calm him down, he wouldn’t let alone allow her to touch him. What was happening? * Alpha Ciandra got under her cover. “What was that?” Her wolf asked. “I have no idea.” “Are you sure?” Hunter, her wolf pushed. “Yeap.” Alpha Ciandra’s tone was dismissive, making her wolf pull back and let Alpha Ciandra fall asleep. The sun was barely up when Alpha Ciandra woke up, she cleaned up herself hurriedly and left to go and check the territories. The schedule was getting a little bit boring but she didn’t mind. She knew if she had to stay sane, she had to follow some normal things in her life. However, a new surprise waited for her outside, Alpha Alphonso was wa
Her judgemental eyes sent shivers through her body, she knew something she didn't. It was a first, Elder Karela was never someone to let things go on and would always ask, instead, these days, what she did was stare at Alpha Ciandra. Alpha Ciandra squirmed on her chair, her eyes met Beta Pierre's, she raised her eyebrows, and Beta Pierre looked away. The man can go fuck himself for all she cared. They had woken up Alpha Ciandra and informed her they would receive some visitors soon. Alpha Alphonso left and returned after thirty minutes, with a bruise on his face. The moment Alpha Ciandra saw it, she rushed to her side, touching Alpha Alphonso, he sent a mindlink to her, (just because you fucked me, it doesn’t mean you are mine and you can show off in front of everyone.) Embarrassment. That was what she felt at first before she replied, (what happened to you?) Alpha Alphonso didn’t get to answer because Carmen came in running. Alpha Ciandra’s mouth formed an o as she realized Alp
No number of prayers would have saved her from the damnation that was about to befall her. Elder Delora was no longer the same weak wolf who had walked towards her with her hands on her waist as if all she wanted was to crawl on the ground up to where she was. She was outrageous and filled with fire in her eyes. Alpha Alphonso moved and pulled out of her hastily, releasing a certain sound that Alpha Ciandra wanted nothing but to run off and asked someone to remove her eyes from her socket and even cement her ears so she would never hear that noise again. She was in pure shock and didn’t even feel Elder Delora’s hardened grip on her arms. Alpha Alphonso moved aside as if the two women were infected with a disease that would be transferred through touch. With Elder Delora blinded by rage and now Alpha Ciandra full of terror, Alpha Alphonso sauntered to the bathroom. Shaking her head, she pulled Alpha Ciandra outside and to the Shadow Court. Before Alpha Ciandra could realize what
The entire day replayed in her mind, over and over and over. Even for a glitched radio, Alpha Ciandra was hundred percent sure it would stop after a while. She was devastated, Alpha Ciandra didn’t think she would sustain another hour. Alpha Ciandra looked back, hoping among the wolves who saw her being dragged out of the pack would run to her with some clothes and offer some help. Luck however had run out of her but nobody came. The road was empty, someone might have thought that not far away there was a packhouse. From when she fell on her knees a few minutes ago, she stayed like that. She listened and hoped to hear any sound, and hell, when, she didn’t perceive anything or anyone, she let out a hurtful scream. Of course, it wasn’t loud as she hoped, it was a tiny sound from a broken soul. Hoping someone heard, even a rat from nearby if they existed, Alpha Ciandra glanced around. Nothing! The world was against her and clearly, she was all alone. She drawled her shattered ass t
Maria, the old woman who found her outside the abandoned shop listened to her silent cries. She knew immediately the stranger she had brought inside her home was more than broken. Maria always walks around Tagadi Town as a means of stretching her legs.By the time the town gets busy, she would be on her way back home or sometimes just sit around and speak to some of her friends. It was easy this way for her because she didn’t have to deal with the busybodies during the day, and damn, how hectic it always is when everyone is in town.This morning, she didn’t know what came over her to come to town this early, but now, just hearing the woman in the bathroom sobbing, she knew she did the right thing not using a different route.Maria’s head snapped toward the bathroom when she heard a glass breaking, the woman inside there had gone through something terrible and she didn’t know what words she would use to calm down.Yes, she was old and as they say, old people are full of wisdom, neverth
The nights and the days lengthened. The nightmares came in full force. Every night, she woke up screaming bloody murder, as much as she hated it, it bridged the gap between her mother, the woman she never knew. Unfortunately, she didn’t like the relationship as she was selling it to everyone else in the pack. Alpha Ciandra couldn’t help but remember the son she had abandoned. Apart from Alpha Hunter and Felicia, no one else knew she bore a child at the lands of the human. They had agreed to keep it a secret after Alpha Ciandra told Alpha Hunter she didn’t want her son to know the supernatural existed until he became of the age of transformation. Until then, Alpha Ciandra wanted Hilla to enjoy his life with Mart Stone. Living and having fun like everybody else. The idea of Hilla being here made her shudder. “Alpha Ciandra, let us check out the borders,” Avery said from outside her bedroom. “Coming.” She replied. They got closer after Avery promised to work on making Ciandra for
“I, Alpha Ciandra of the Vagabond Pack strip you, Beta Garrick, your powers as the beta. I denounce you as both the beta and member of the pack.” Alpha Ciandra said, smirking on her face. Felicia took his wolf and cursed him to never be accepted in any pack. As extreme as it was, Ciandra didn’t care. She dragged him outside and said, “An eye for an eye. Don’t show your face here.” “Two down, one to go.” Alpha Ciandra whispered while walking away from a broken Garrick, begging for Ciandra to give him one more chance. What he received was fair, right? For a best friend who betrayed her, she did it right. Another week ended, and the news was still circulating but Alpha Ciandra hadn’t been seen by anyone. She was inside the Vagabond Pack, tending to her father. And for the first time, her and Felicia’s relationship strengthened. She released the warriors but not without a clear warning that they would be shot dead if they dared look at her in the wrong way or even think of running aw
The news of the attack on the Vagabond Pack spread like wildfire. The return of the outcast alpha was the talk of the packs.Alpha Ciandra was back, and she was out for blood.With no news from Beta Pierre or Garrick, Alpha Alphonso knew Alpha Ciandra was coming for him with all she got. But until then, he planned on putting up a tough front that he wasn’t scared of. That he still had the power over the broken alpha. Did he?He said to Avery, “let us attack her before she attacks us.” Avery huffed, “Let me meet up with her and try talking to her, for a truce, an apology from you of course, offer her a few packs.”Alphonso was staring at Avery as if she had lost her damn mind. They all knew Alpha Ciandra wouldn’t care about that. “Plan the attack, Avery.” He ordered. “Let us not think irrationally. Alpha Ciandra is a good alpha. You destroyed her, remember? For all, we know she can be suffering from amnesia from all the beatings she got from you, asshole. So, go back to your safet
Come rain, come sunshine, Alpha Hunter couldn’t help Beta Garrick. For all he cared, the pack could burn in hell. Why would he assist the same pack that abandoned his daughter without a second thought?Everyone stood by as Beta Garrick shunned her.No one asked her if what Alpha Alphonso said was true. No one wanted to hear the side of her story and watched as she was turned into nothing but a mere wolf on the brink of death. It had been more than one year and no one has heard about her. And since she was a powerful alpha who had fallen because she couldn’t close her legs, thus breaking the rules, her name was now known by everyone, everywhere. The old, the young, and the pups.Alpha Hunter was a hundred percent sure his daughter was long gone. And if it wasn’t for the fact that the tiny room he was in had nothing he could use to end his own life, he would have died long ago.How cruel of Garrick to ask him for help when he has been starving him?Alpha Hunter by now was used to Garri
The human city was not as she had imagined. It was something more. Something better.Alpha Ciandra loved this life more than anything. If anyone had told her this the day she left for the Dark Shadow Pack for her duty, she would have said, “are you crazy? I was born to protect. To fight, and to care about somebody and not me.” Of course, life at first hadn’t been safe. She had been distraught, which was expected since it was the first time she was staying far away from home, far away from any supernatural, and only surrounded by humans who seemed to love partying, laughing, and not caring.She saw pregnant women laughing with their friends. No one carried weapons around. Oh, the mornings she didn’t worry about waking up. The humans taught her something she didn’t know. Freedom. The freedom was great. As mundane as it sounded to anyone in this human city, Alpha Ciandra found it heavenly. For weeks, she watched the humans, paying for a motel room with the money she stole from Hi
For someone who never cared about their relationship, he was mourning too much.The whole pack felt Alpha Alphonso’s sadness. Even the Vagabond warrior.How could they when the alpha screamed every night in anger, thrashing things around, listening to no one but only himself? And the only time he was quiet was when he was asleep. This turned Luna Adrielle into his nurse. She hated him to her core and yet she had no choice but to take over the part of being fully his mate. Every time she touched his arms to beg him to stop wailing, she recalled those same arms harming her.For an abused mate, she was doing more than she was supposed to.Her love for Alpha August has always been strong. She was the one who should have been screaming the whole night and not Alphonso. She was the one who should be asking everyone what time it was and not being asked.The woman didn’t have the time to mourn for her dearest dead son, the son she lost a second away from having the perfect mother-son relatio
Alpha Alphonso began feeling better. He could feel Alpha Ciandra right beside him and this brought everything to light. He came back to his senses and the first thing he thought was; Luna Adrielle must return.“Pierre, where are you?” He met a block.Ever since they left the Wilder Pack, they haven’t taken more than ten minutes together. Beta Pierre was busy dealing with their plans since he noticed the hesitation in Alpha Alphonso when they embarked on the Wilder Pack last time.Beta Pierre wouldn’t let go of his plans or won’t change the direction, he has lost a lot to just say fuck it just because the alpha had missed his second chance mate. He planned on following the plan till he died. No matter what it took, they were going to make him an alpha in one of the nearby packs.They will own numerous packs; this had been their goal.“Avery.” He called.“Yes, Alphonso,” Avery responded immediately.Alpha Alphonso smiled at that; Avery was something for sure. “Come to my office.”Avery
Alicia was sceptical about her mother. The way she talked, the way she walked and even the way she ate. Staring at Kelly, Felicia felt her heart breaking severely. The lady she had known for years was now staring at her with awe in her eyes. Wondering who she might be. Of course, there was the same love lingering in her eyes, just like before, the problem was, that love was directed to her for a different reason; Kelly was grateful the stranger saved her from the goons who almost killed her.Alicia excused herself and asked her mother to follow her.Felicia placed a simple kiss on Kelly’s cheek and followed her daughter. She closed the door behind her and then turned to her daughter. She was gnawing the inside of her cheek, something she did whenever she was nervous.Alicia noticed it, and she confirmed that indeed, her mother was hiding something.“Mom, there is no way Kelly will just sleep and wake up with her memories gone. The Kelly I know isn’t weak, even after she heard her da
Once a pariah, always a pariah. The only difference here is that, she brought it to herself. Bad luck was following her everywhere. Look to the right, to the left. Still bad. She blamed herself and the moon goddess. She didn’t need a soothsayer telling her this has to do with her.She had felt the storm coming, but she never thought it would be in the form of the death of Hilla. Hell, she hadn’t even sat and think of what would happen.Ciandra kissed the lifeless body goodbye and grabbed her phone from the nightstand. The last time she spoke to her parents was when they were here, this will be the second time. It sucked.How could she start, “hey, I killed your daughter, come and take her?”She stayed silent as the phone rang, when she thought no one would answer, a manly voice came through, “Hilla, I will kill you when I arrive there.”Ciandra’s breathe hitched, they must not find her here. She is a wanted wolf by vile Alphonso, the last thing she needed was to hunted by humans who w
