The accusation in their eyes was visible. Everyone has heard one rogue wouldn’t speak unless it was to Alpha Ciandra. The rogue’s request to speak to Alpha Ciandra was suspicious.The ones who lost their kids wanted to steer far away from Alpha Ciandra while those who lost their mates wanted to attack Alpha Ciandra, they would have and made sure she went six feet under.As Alpha Ciandra walked from her haven to the packhouse, she fought off the sadness that dripped in her. If only anyone asked her how she was feeling, she would have informed them she wasn’t happy that the rogues attacked their pack.She would have told them she kept hearing the tear of skin and the cracking of bones.The agony cries from the wolves as the rogues killed them.But alas, no one cared about that. What they cared about was finding a way to make her pay.Alpha Ciandra pushed the door and entered the packhouse, she was surprised Alpha Alphonso wasn’t at the door waiting for her. Earlier, after he told her sh
Garrick grabbed her shoulders and screamed to her face, “it is your fault I have become a laughing stock.”“Oh, come on. I spoon-fed you the pack. I took away all the hindrances and one thing you are already whining about. How about a thank you, brother.” Gael replied, prying away herself from her brother.“Don’t call me brother, I am not your brother,” Garrick said through gritted teeth while fisting his hands.Gael growled at her brother. It was one thing to say it was her fault while it was another for him to tell her he wasn’t her brother. Gael lived for Garrick and wanted nothing but the best for him.“You are not invited here, ever again,” Garrick yelled.Gael smiled, telling herself there was no way her brother meant that. They only had each other.“You are standing in this gigantic office because of me. You are the alpha because of me. If I hadn’t shown up, you would still be Hunter and Ciandra’s lapdog. So, little brother, don’t forget I will snatch it if I want it. I created
“We are under attack.”Alpha Ciandra hummed. The pack could burn in hell for all she cared. Alpha Ciandra had been serious when she told Alpha Alphonso she was never going to prove herself to anyone.They were never there for her… she was merely returning the favor.A smile spread wider on her face, she removed the cover from her head, ready to hear the cries coming from outside.“Alpha Ciandra,” Avery called from outside.She rolled her eyes and pulled her legs to her chest. Grinning, she whispered, “let the dance begin.”“Alpha Ciandra.” Avery’s voice was fading away. “I am sorry, okay? I will help the rogue. I will help you. Please, come outside.”“I never asked for your help, Avery.” Alpha Ciandra thought.[FLASHBACK]It was her fifth interview with Lameck and by now, Lameck was used to her coming and talking aimlessly and never pushed on why he attacked the pack. Alpha Ciandra was still accompanied by Avery and when she advised her to go outside and train since the pack depended
Was this the end of the cruel and noxious alpha?The wolves from the neighboring packs had the same question regarding the current event ongoing in the Dark Shadow Pack.The continuous attack on the pack elicited different emotions regarding the pack. Nonetheless, no pack volunteered to help them, after all, the alpha has always been bad.The wolves were mourning again and Alpha Alphonso was pacing inside his office, he knew he had to find a solution and fast. Or he would end up having less than five hundred wolves to lead.He would become the laughing stock.His already susceptible territories would become an entry to anything and anyone.With Beta Pierre away, he didn’t have anyone else he would ask for help. Elder Delora didn’t survive the war and Elder Karela was locked away inside a cell after she crawled away during the fight.Alphonso jeered, hating that Elder Karela decided to help Alpha Ciandra to escape instead of helping his pack.The mere thinking of Alpha Ciandra threw hi
It wasn’t sheer luck but rather a pure coincidence. Alpha Ciandra had crossed out anything related to luck from her life and that was why it was hard for her to explain why out of everyone he met was Maria. The same woman who had offered her a place to rest when the elders chased her away. Once again, Maria didn’t question her or anything. She fed and provided her with a place to stay. Alpha Ciandra saw the happy smile playing on the woman’s lips, she smiled back.“I am glad you are happy this time,” Maria said.“I am too.” Alpha Ciandra didn’t know if it was true she was happy or not. But at least Maria wasn’t worried about her. Furthermore, she didn’t think she would indulge in any one of the horrors she had called her life for the past few months.Alpha Ciandra finished eating and cleaned the plate. She bid Maria good night and went to bed.Opening the window, she saw something from outside moving, she closed it immediately with a bang.Maria came running, “is everything okay?”Al
Desperate times call for desperate measures.Alpha Alphonso didn’t care if they were questioning his sanity. No matter what they said about what he has become, he had one thought: Finding Alpha Ciandra.He didn’t even realize he was losing his touch just because his second chance mate was nowhere to be found. Beta Pierre and a group of warriors kept returning with the same answer, “no one has seen or heard about her.”It was tiring.It has been days since Alpha Ciandra escaped and by the looks of things, if a new month started before he found her, it might have to forget her forever.His luna kept asking why he wasn’t letting go when she was right here with him. She was good, or so she said. Nevertheless, Alpha Alphonso didn’t accept him. Although he had broken his bond with Alpha Ciandra, he still felt it within him, it was super weird and the more he kept wondering, the more he had known there was no escape.Some of the days when he wasn’t with her, he had told himself it was okay s
Whether it was from the goodness of his heart because he was changing, or because he cared. The pack couldn’t care less and neither did the other elders.The past deaths of the other elders hadn’t been felt as this one. Elder Karela had been respectful and never threatened anyone with her witch powers. She was always doing better when it come to protecting them.So, the pack was angry when they heard the alpha killed her because she didn’t accept to locate Alpha Ciandra.They were mad at Alpha Alphonso for doing irrational things without thinking. Although Elder Karela never wanted to find Ciandra, she would have come in handy in days to come if they were attacked.Everyone knew finding a witch inside the wolf's territory was hard.Elder Karela had been exceptional.*The good witch, Elder Karela never thought she would spend her entire life serving arrogant wolves. When she cut the deal with the moon goddess, she hoped she would find a pack where they will ask her to even teach them
Every scenario playing in her mind made a lot of sense but not this one. Not her pregnancy.Alpha Ciandra didn’t have a problem with pups but never in her life did she think of having a kid. How could she when all she ever knew was to train and be trained? To protect and not be protected?She felt a rush of emotions surging through her, she wanted to cry but refrained because she was unsure if she did it because of hormones or because she was sad.Alpha Ciandra waited to feel something useful regarding the news about her pregnancy, with the events that happened back at the pack and the fact that most of them hit her with shock, she didn’t want to just wake up one morning and have a hard realization.She shivered at the thought of what would have happened if the witch hadn’t noticed she was pregnant. When would she have realized? And why didn’t she ever feel the changes happening in her body?Most importantly, when did she conceive?Alpha Ciandra inhaled deeply, wanting the thoughts to
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
