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 small mistake Elder Karela made by leaving that small space after casting a spell around the Shadow Pack was used well by Beta Pierre. He told everyone what had happened regarding Alpha Ciandra’s predicament. Those who didn’t believe were given recordings of all proceedings. For the ones who still didn’t believe the recording and said, “it is a rumor.” Beta Pierre called the wolves who saw Alpha Ciandra being dragged away and asked them to retell what they saw and heard. For Beta Pierre, it was a damn birthday while for Alpha Alphonso, it was the great day of his life. Both the alpha and his beta cared less about what was happening with Alpha Ciandra, in fact, Alpha Alphonso felt like a damn king, it had been a while since the pack talked of him with unbelievable in their tone. It was as if he has done something great. It was about damn time he reminded the ones who had forgotten who he was. He wasn’t a sweet alpha nor someone who tolerated bullshit. By the time evening arriv
The whole pack would hear the alerting bangs against Alpha Alphonso’s door. They didn’t wake up to check what was happening, how would they when they knew never to budge into anything related to Alpha Alphonso? Everyone confined themselves in the safety of their bedrooms, with their mates and children, if they wanted to know what was happening with their cruel alpha, they would learn in the morning, after all, it was almost dawn. Elder Delora and Elder Karela kept banging, suddenly needing to protect Beta Pierre from meeting his maker. Alpha Alphonso inside wasn’t getting tired, and from the look of things, if no one got something into his thick head, he would be at it till the sun rose. Beta Pierre was beaten into a pulp, he wasn’t even defending himself, making Alpha Alphonso scream at him, “I told you, you are lacking in your training. You are weak.” He kicked him with no hesitation, if only Beta Pierre had known speaking back at him would lead him to this, he would have stayed
Miles and Alpha Alphonso were like water and oil, their hatred towards each other was like they were competing to see who loathed the other the most. Miles knew how to rile him just the way he used to know where to hit his sister, Luna Adrielle. Alpha Alphonso pushed him away, he moved away easily and bowed sarcastically, “forgive me, dear alpha, where are my manners, where are my dear sister and your mate?” Repeating himself was a way of annoying him, and Alphonso knew it. He clicked and walked to his chair. He slumped onto it and answered, “don’t pretend like you care when you don’t. Have you forgotten that you used to sell her to the highest bidder who said yes?” “Don’t be ridiculous.” He said, his voice filled with disbelief someone might think Alphonso was lying. “Your sister is okay, now you can leave my pack, in one piece.” “Alpha Alphonso, I must meet her today, I am not leaving.” Alpha Alphonso was irritated, he stared at the wolf who right now appeared so small he even
Beta Pierre sent him a mind-link with his eyes drilling holes on his forehead, “Alphonso, you are not scaring anyone, right now, you are more of a lunatic alpha. Let go of your son for fuck’s sake.”Indeed, he was more of a lunatic pathetic cat who went around holding other wolves’ shirt, Alpha August took that moment of him hesitating in doing whatever he wanted to do and dropped him to the ground.The werewolves around gasped, Alpha August shut his eyes and did the opposite. He bowed and said politely, “dad, am sorry, it was my bad.” He helped Alpha Alphonso up.“What do you think you are doing? Scramble off!” Alpha Alphonso screamed at the wolves who were lingering around staring at the all ordeal with shocked faces. They ran off, fearing what had happened to the elders might happen to them.Alpha Alphonso snatched his hand away from Alpha August, but not before glaring at him, the growl sending a message, “you have some questions to answer.”They marched into the packhouse, Alpha
It didn’t take long to convince Luna Adrielle to act as though all has been well for the past weeks, to be all shiny and flowery. Whether she had her selfish reason for agreeing eagerly or she truly cared on what her mate, Alpha Alphonso didn’t have to think about it that much. And hopefully, what he was about to do wasn’t going to bite him in the ass. Elder Karela’s face was flat, even the tiny line of wrinkles that had appeared on her head a few weeks ago was missing, Alpha Alphonso’s glare at her didn’t turn her mushy and cower, she matched the fire in his eyes. The elder was angry at herself and making her crazy, she blamed herself for Luna Adrielle’s predicament, for standing by as Alpha Ciandra was humiliated and thrown out of the pack, and most importantly, for siding and helping Alpha Alphonso. Granted Alpha Alphonso wouldn’t listen to her, Elder Karela’s emotions had come out in a rush and the alpha had been the first one he crossed paths with, would she have yelled at so
Alpha Ciandra had never walked this long and far in her whole life, now, not only couldn’t feel her legs but also her brain had frozen. If anyone showed her their legs and called them hands, she would accept. Between walking hungry and thirsty, Alpha Ciandra was beginning to question her reality, her direful mind was getting increasingly confused about separating her now, before, and everything in-between. Even hikers who aimed to reach a certain point rested at some points, right? She wanted to rest but Hunter disagreed. How could she rest when they were not even close to the Free Pack? Looking back, way before she got her wolf, Alpha Ciandra recalled speaking to her father about having someone else, or rather something else in control over your life, believing that it wouldn’t lead to your demise. Each time she asked those queries regarding her wolf, Alpha Hunter first scare her off, and then later on, when she saw Alpha Ciandra was beginning to believe his story, he would diver
The face was hers, but those eyes, hell no. Alpha Ciandra was dead sure someone else took her warrior’s set of kind orbs and changed with theirs. No day in her life has she ever thought Carmen would stare at her like she was garbage. She looked back; she couldn’t help herself. And when she found no one behind her, she turned and faced Carmen. Her mind again decided to betray her, it was the first time she has been betrayed and chased, and each time, she hadn’t learned the lesson that everyone was no longer who she thought they were. When would she learn this? Carmen hadn’t left the Free Pack, something Alpha Ciandra had overlooked during Alpha Karl’s burial because they were both occupied with so many things. Furthermore, it had been the least of Alpha Ciandra’s worries since she was being kinda rebellious towards the moon goddess. She couldn’t help but curse at herself, it was one thing to be judged by strangers, to be hated by those who don’t know your second but it was an
