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
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
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
