The water falling into the bucket mesmerized her, the sound was like music in her ears. Alpha Ciandra shifted her weight from one leg to another, her eyes never leaving the water dropping. They were her wolf’s since it was still dark outside.It was eerily silent, the pack was still asleep, leaving her to be the morning person she always loved but this time around it was not to train or run through the confine of her beautiful forest.She had been reduced to nothing but a mere wolf, if it wasn’t for her strong will to live, she would have succumbed two days after she arrived in this hellhole she had no idea when she would leave.Alpha Alphonso hadn’t been joking when he had said he wanted her to serve the pack, as much as she wished she served them as their warrior, and temporarily alpha, she couldn’t. She was now their servant slave, the one wolf who woke up before everyone to prepare their damn breakfast.Even the cooks these days don’t wake up.During nights, she cleaned after they
You better run. She wanted to do so badly. Looking behind her, Ciandra wished she had powers like Elder Karela had to disappear into thin air. The emotions displayed on luna’s face were nothing she had ever seen. To add, her sickly face made everything even scarier. It was not like she feared she would win if they fought, but she wasn’t looking forward to meeting her this way and then the second sentence that came out of her mouth was her asking why her scent matched her mate’s. He had rejected her, and each night before she rested her tired ass, she would wonder why nothing has changed when it came to the scents. “I am talking to you.” Luna Adrielle half-screamed, half-whispered. Alpha Ciandra moved to her, “you should lay down.” “Get your hands off of me.” She jumped and returned to the exact position she had been in earlier, although she wanted the powers to disintegrate into the ground, she wasn’t leaving when she definitely should. They eyed each other, Luna’s breath get
Dear death…Currently, it was beautiful and exciting and if it called for her right now, she would embrace it like no one’s business.So many things were crawling into her mind like never before. Not once had she thought she would be ready to throw herself down the cliff and die. Yeah, she had dreamt of getting mauled by rogues, but at least that was murder.Not now though. She was suicidal and it was depressing for Hunter, her wolf.She decided not to answer it, there was nothing it could help anyway. She wanted to scream, to let everything out. To tell the world they messed up big time and she didn’t deserve it. Even for an optimistic wolf who always saw brightness in everything, this was goodbye.Alpha Ciandra let the tears fall, she wasn’t even surprised they were falling with Alpha Alphonso not yelling at her to let it out, to cry so he would let go. No, they were coming on their own. Her chest ached, and the pain was intolerable.She saw every moment of her life flashing in fron
Alpha Ciandra shook the water out of her hair. She used to have a towel but Luna Adrielle had taken it, claiming she should stand under the sun to dry up for all she cared.Her life was a disaster right now. No one was speaking to her and pushed her around when they crossed paths. She was heartbroken and lonely. Staring at herself in the broken piece of a mirror, Alpha Ciandra shook her head vigorously. Her cheeks were sunken. Her eyes were dull. She looked like someone life has beaten repeatedly. The beautiful woman was no longer beautiful.She was the most hated person in all the packs and she hated every minute of it. Beta Pierre called her from outside, "woman, hurry up. I don't have all the time in the world."Alpha Ciandra grunted, if only she could turn herself deaf, she could. She ignored him completely. Her eyes fell on the scissors on the floor. A single tear fell from her eyes. Luna Adrielle had brought it to her, claiming, "I am helping you. Cut yourself."She had been su
Alpha Ciandra lost her will to fight when she realized how serious the wolves were about 'serving her'If someone had told her that the wolves she trained would, later on, kick her ass while calling her names, she would have said no.Both Alpha Alphonso and Beta Garrick lost their damn mind. How could Alphons bring her people to beat her up? Why on earth could Beta Garrick agree to this preposterous need from Alphonso?Both Ciandra and Gareick always knew only the best is supposed to come here. Not just anyone. Well, at least she applauded Beta Garrick to stay back and guard the Vagabond Pack.The warriors shook her violently, Alpha Ciandra touched her face and winced. "Tired too soon?" She asked teasingly. They were provoked immediately, making them continue hitting her. When they heard incoming footfalls, they yanked her and threw her to the bed. Alpha Ciandra looked at the door, bored out. She rolled her eyes when she saw Alpha Alphonso. "You shall continue this tommorow." The alp
Alpha Hunter was disheartened by the news. He couldn’t believe the audacity Gael had to shove it right to his face that his brother was working the perfect way he needed. He wanted to go to the Vagabond Pack to confirm that indeed the same man he brought up was the same wolf who wasn’t doing anything to help his daughter.Lameck dropped by once in a while and the more his visit increased, the more Alpha Hunter began wondering whether he was on Gael’s side or he was just neutral.“Lameck, may I ask, what is happening outside?” Alpha Hunter asked.“Alpha Hunter, we are forgetting what is happening here,” Lameck grunted.Alpha Hunter looked down, disappointment washing all over him. He could see in his face where those words were going, Lameck wasn’t happy with how he was speaking to him. Alpha Hunter moved backward to the corner.Lameck rolled his eyes, “seriously, I was only joking.”“So, should I know or not?” Alpha Hunter whispered.Lameck headed outside and closed the door behind h
Avery ducked an incoming blow. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Callister glaring at her. They didn’t get along. Callister hated her for taking her spot, the one spot she could give anything, even if it meant standing aside and letting her friend of a minute suffer.The two women strode to each other. The wolf who had been training with Avery released a happy sigh. She halted in front of Callister, “you are slacking, missy.” She spoke.It was Avery’s work for everyone to train. As much as she wanted to inform everyone, “scratch each other to death.” She couldn’t. She was the best, or at least Beta Garrick had informed her.Trouble was, every morning, she woke up with newly found self-doubts, she wasn’t sure anymore if she was there because Garrick saw her as a threat for asking too many or simply, she was good at fighting.Staring at Callister with her smirk, she wanted to rile her up, to see whether she would beat her ass up or be beaten.Callister’s smirk turned into a smile, “d
As the rogues entered, Alpha Ciandra closed her eyes. She wasn’t going to put up a fight and not even once did she wonder how they entered when some of the Vagabond Pack’s warriors were guarding the border.She didn’t need to call out for death anymore, it was already here and unlike the moon goddess who had turned a blind eye and deaf, death heard her perfectly well.Alpha Ciandra said goodbye to her father and promised if they meet in their next lives, she would protect him first before everything and everyone else.As sleep started slipping in, Alpha Ciandra heard the movements increasing. She waited and waited. Patiently like a kid waiting for their mother to feed them soup. Like a kid filling her penny jar hoping in the end she will buy herself something good.Nevertheless, what she expected would happen didn’t.Loud steps could be heard and then snaps. Trees broke. Murmurs could be heard and still, no pain in her. No wolf was sinking its teeth into her neck. No one was killing h
