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 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 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
