Hey, my dear readers? I hope you like it, leave a comment. Thanks for reading.
Air caught in her throat. She covered her lips not to cough because if she did they would know her exact position. The two men were catching up with her pretty quickly, if only she knew the same people she trained a few months ago would be the same who would run after her, she would have allowed them to slack off in training, after all, the pack hadn’t been attacked ever since she arrived.What had been the reason for her coming anyway?Alpha Ciandra kept pushing harder. She wanted to call out for her father and asked why he agreed for her to come to her duty while all she ever did while at the Dark Shadow Pack was being humiliated, used, and abused.All those memories were dragging her, and so, she pushed away them because what happened had already happened and there was no way she would reverse it. “She can’t be far, Pierre. Find her.” Alpha Alphonso said, and Alpha Ciandra could hear the malice in his voice.She looked back, her foot caught on a twig of a tree, and she fell, a cry
Alpha Ciandra parted the drapes apart and looked outside. It was beautiful. The building sat in a secluded area. She leaned on the window and looked down, it wasn’t too far and yet she couldn’t get herself to jump and run for her life. He brought her here for a reason and with his meticulous planning skills, Alpha Ciandra was a hundred percent sure there was no escape route. Why else would he leave her with the window opened just like that? She was devastated; another reason for her not to jump and run. Her legs wouldn’t save her now even if someone told her it was her last day on earth. Lazily, she covered her face. Her mind was blank and for the first time in forever, she was thankful for that. Alpha Ciandra took the third shower that morning, and while she dressed in the attire she didn't give shit knowing where they came from, Alpha Alphonso came through the door. “Get out.” She thought instead of voicing it out. “Do you mind joining me for a walk?” He eyed her with hunger in
[ALPHA ALPHONSO] “Don’t worry about it, my owl. I have got it cover…” He didn’t get to finish because Elder Delora swung the car door open and said, “you must be connected.” Alpha Alphonso’s eyes widened, he looked at her then together they stared at the elder. Luckily, Elder Kalera called out for Elder Delora. Alpha Alphonso watched as the woman went to meet the other and turned to Alpha Ciandra who looked like she wasn’t breathing. He held onto her hand and pressed down, “I don’t care what you have in a mind, but be prepared to explain why you have a mating mark.” He let go and walked to the packhouse to ask Elder Delora what she meant by they must be connected. “Elder Delora, can I have a chat?” He asked. “Yes, Alpha Alphonso.” She replied and bowed at her fellow elder. “Actually, can I steal him first?” Elder Karela asked and motioned for Alpha Alphonso to follow her before Elder Delora would reply. His jaw tightened, he always hated whenever the elder spoke to him like tha
(ALPHA ALPHONSO) The other day before he went to meet his beta in the cave, he caught wind of August’s arrival, also, seeing his son’s pen in his office had been proof. But now, staring at August, he knew no one was kidding when they said he was back. Why is he here? Alpha Alphonso pondered. When Alpha Karl had mentioned he wanted to come, Alpha Alphonso thought he had been joking. August won’t show his face here unless it was important. He rose, asked the elders to go on with the meeting without him, and told Alpha Ciandra to follow him. “Wait for me in my office.” He sarcastically replied, “of course, dad.” And offered Alpha Ciandra a tiny smile. They watched him leave, and just like his father, he ignored everyone who greeted him. “I see he takes after you.” She said. “I don’t remember asking for your opinion.” He responded. Alpha Ciandra shrugged. “Did you call him?” He accused. “Call who?” “My son.” Alpha Ciandra sighed, she whispered, “between you raping me and always t
On their way to the Free Pack, Beta Pierre fired question after question at August, and knowing he was his father’s right-hand man, August kept mum. When it came to ignoring others, he had a medal at it. After all, for half of his life, he had been ignored by both his father and his mother. Not far from the Free Pack, August asked him to stop the car, Beta Pierre did and even pointed out he didn’t have the plan to enter the Free Pack, Alpha Alphonso’s orders. August leaned towards him and asked where his mother was, Beta Pierre, shrugged then answered nonchalantly, “not my question to answer.” “At least tell me, is she alive?” He inquired, he wanted to know whether the woman was alive or not. He hadn’t heard exactly what happened to her and even though his bond with his mother wasn’t exactly shiny and glittery, he was worried about her. “August, you know me.” Beta Pierre replied, his arm resting on August’s thighs, he smiled weirdly at him and opened the car door. He waited till he
(Get up here, Ciandra.) (Oh, fuck me.) She replied. (My pleasure, mate. Now come with Pierre before the two of you make a scene. Seriously Ciandra, I didn't expect this from you. This is a pack and not a kindergarten playground.) She rolled her eyes, making Beta Pierre chuckle. Alpha Ciandra rubbed her nose, cussing herself for accepting the mind-linking to happen. Before she was super excited thinking at least it would mean less seeing Alpha Alphonso’s face, not now though. It was the worst thing to happen to her if anyone asked. Of course, she had lied at the meeting with the elders when they asked, for starters, if she had said no, they would have asked questions and Alpha Ciandra wasn't in the right mind to answer without saying what the alpha has been doing to her. (Why are you still standing there like a lost buffoon? Come up here, now.) Said Alpha Alphonso. She gave him the middle finger behind her back and looked up and saw Alpha Alphonso, she hated him like no day befo
Soft music rang throughout the pack. The wolves walked hand in hand, chatting with one another. The kids were throwing balls at each other, excited by today's event. A kid threw a ball at Alpha Ciandra, she caught it pretty easily and squatted as the kid ran to her with a big smile on his face. "Are you enjoying yourself?" "Yes, Alpha Ciandra. Do you want to join us?" His eyes shone with anticipation and hope that Alpha Ciandra would accept the invitation. She ruffled his hair and promised, "I will tomorrow." "Pinky swear, Alpha Ciandra?" She nodded. The kid enthusiastically joined his pinky finger with hers and ran back to his friends. For a few minutes, she stared at the children playing, she was jealous of how free they were. If they were back at the Vagabond Pack, at the moment they would be busy doing something entirely that kids really shouldn't do. Since they were expected to become great warriors, weapons were more of their balls. Here, the kids lived their lives to the
Passion, courage, and stability were her driving force at the Vagabond Pack, but right now she was more of a tired duckling with the surge to run, hide and cry. August didn't miss a chance to express how deeply disappointed he was in her, and after hearing that from someone who didn't even stay in the pack she was protecting, a hole formed inside her heart. "Carmen, are you okay?" She asked through the mind link and when she got no reply, she asked Carmen to walk with her. She inquired if she was able to communicate with the other warriors she was with at the Free Pack and Carmen said yes. Explaining to her she was scared to speak to her and she hadn't tried the mindlink, Alpha Ciandra informed her that this isn't the first time she tried to speak to her and got no reply. Carmen told her she didn't know why and asked if she was okay. They trained together inside the Vagabond Pack since they were teenagers and though they were not joined at the hip, Carmen could see her alpha was o
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
