"After you" Garb pointed to the way for Sophie and Jones with a slight bow.They had decided to follow him to the law post after Skye left."Let's go" Sophie walked in, she tapped Alpha Jones that was busy looking at Garb like he was suspecting him.They both strolled over to the counter."Here they are!" Skye protested loudly. "How did you manage to get them here?" he asked Garb quietly."They came on their own accord. It seems they don't like being forced" he shrugged his shoulder."No problem" he cleared his throat and stood right in front of Alpha Jones with a wicked countenance. "You can hit me all you want now. Lawless folk" he sighed."I'm not here to dance with you. Just want to clear myself and be on my way" Alpha Jones leaned towards him and growled in his face."Put down his name. I am going to lock him up until he learns how to talk to a law enforcer" he instructed the lady standing behind the counter. "I will let you know the true color of North Grave. There is a reason t
"So here we are" Luke sighed and sat down after Sophie and Alpha Jones had taken their seat."Your questions" Alpha Jones didn't sound friendly."So you are from one of the towns in the far South?" Luke asked unnecessarily. He had already heard that numerous times at the counter.Alpha Jones sighed deeply. He surely didn't want to answer the question."I think I'm loud enough" Luke waved his hand at him."Are these the questions you brought me in here for?" Alpha Jones asked calmly. The type of calmness that would precede a burst of anger."You need to answer me, please?" Luke persuaded him. "These are the buildup questions to connect with you before we delve in to the main issue" he expantiated."I think you can answer that question by yourself anyway" Alpha Jones refused to cooperate with him."There has to be exchange of words" Luke moaned. "I think you need to talk to him if he want to be out of here soon" he said to Sophie."It's okay, just answer him" Sophie enjoined him."I'm f
Sophie opened the door slightly to see who was knocking. She saw Luke pacing around impatiently in the hallway."Is he in?" he asked immediately the moment he caught a hold of her sight."Yes, yes" Sophie stuttered reluctantly. She wondered what brought him as early as this.Luke took the door from her and forced his way in quickly. He dashed towards the bed checking everywhere for Alpha Jones obviously."Ready to take me in?" Alpha Jones came into the room from the bathroom."Good. We need to leave right now. It's urgent" he said hastily. He didn't really come to arrest him but his actions was just not understandable."Leave to where?" Alpha Jones asked without eagerness. "What's happening? Why are you here?" he bombarded him with questions, slowly one after the other."I found a new suspect in your murder case. I need you to see him" he revealed, looking straight like he had no choice."My murder case?" Alpha Jones smirked. He sat down just to show he wasn't bothered. "I don't have
Alpha Jones waited in the interrogation room. He was still angry at Luke but this was the best he could do.Luke came in with another man definitely the suspect he was talking about."Thanks for coming" he offered Alpha Jones his hand for a handshake.Alpha Jones shook him reluctantly. He was only here because he had no choice. The choice presented to him outweighed each other."This is how gentlemen interact not that punchy punchy punch" he joked and smiled."This is Mr. Kadal that I told you about" he introduced the suspect to him.Mr. Kadal and Alpha Jones shook hands."Why did you kill him?" Alpha Jones asked right away."Wait, it can't be done that way, you just don't jump in like that. Offer him a seat at first" Luke leaned towards Alpha Jones and whispered in his ear "Actually, it was in self defense. He was going to kill me" Mr. Kadal confessed straightaway."This is magical!" Luke exclaimed. "You spilling already" it seemed he couldn't believe it."Why did he want to kill yo
Alpha Jones leaned over the counter at the law post. He was waiting for Luke who had called him earlier.Luke came out smiling broadly at him."Your vacation will be taking a new turn, my Alpha friend" he narrated happily."What's so sweet in following a gentleman around?" he scoffed."It is becoming more exciting. You are going to a place where you are free to break as many bones as you want" he chuckled."And what does all that mean?" Alpha Jones wanted him to stop beating about the bush."I thought you like brawling" Luke stopped smiling and looked serious."I thought you called me here to give me a tinted window car and a giant camera that can shoot clearly from far away?" Alpha Jones expressed his disappointment."Won't that be so boring for you?" Luke shook his head."Nothing can be more boring than having a conversation with you right here" he stated and yawned close to his face."Kadal is going into the holding" he said quietly. "Special holding" he stressed out slowly."But I
Alpha Jones was busy looking around the whole area when they stepped out of the van. The place was a desert and the special holding stood alone in the center far from the road."This thing can be driven off road. You should have taken us right to the building" Alpha Jones complained to the officer accompanying them."This is where vehicles stop. Everyone takes a stroll to the holding" the officer replied in an unfriendly manner."And why are their hands free?" the driver alighted and came towards them. He breathed heavily as he stared down on Alpha Jones."Senior Officer Luke's orders" the officer retorted loudly."What if they attack you and escape?" the driver rested on the van. He was obviously not going to the holding with them."He will be responsible for it" the officer smirked."What an opportunity!" the driver sang. "You can just run away, now. You are free" he said to Mr. Kadal.Mr Kadal turned round and round."And where will I run to?" he shrugged his shoulders."What about
"Are you awake?" Mr. Kadal asked Alpha Jones.Alpha Jones was sleeping on the lower bed in the bunk while Mr Kadal was on top. The cell room was not only small, it was stinking, fluffy and every other bad thing a room could be."Seems like you want a chitchat?" Alpha Jones bellowed. "Today is your lucky day, I don't think I can sleep in this kind of room" he spat on the wall."I'm sure I'm going to die in this room if I spend the next eleven to twelve hours in here" he sighed. "It will be better for you but there is no way you will be allowed ten consecutive hours in here" Alpha Jones snorted."Why do you say it's better?" Mr. Kadal voice sounded close.Alpha Jones looked up. He saw him bowing down from his bed."So you don't know yet?" Alpha Jones scoffed. He moaned pitifully."Know what?" Mr Kadal was obviously clueless."You are sent here to die and I'm sure you are ready for that" Alpha Jones concluded without waiting for his acknowledgement."Do I have a choice? No" he groaned.
Alpha Jones strolled out into the front of the cell room. He made a stance that depicted confidence and wrath.Mr Kadal stood beside him. He was gasping for breath. All eyes were on both of them.Some wardens walked around while ticking sheets of papers in their hands. "Let's go back in" Alpha Jones told Mr Kadal and went back in. After some while Mr Kadal had not come in.Alpha Jones went back outside. He met Mr Kadal with some three men. They were touching him in a tease while he kept shrinking away from them. They didn't let him go back into the room."Whats happening here?" Alpha Jones challenged them."We are here for him, not you. Your time might come, boy" one of the men answered him rudely."I'm not your boy!" Alpha Jones scolded him. "Why are you here for my roommate?" he questioned them.The three men stared at each other and started laughing."Your roommate? It's cellmate!" another one of the men rectified."Whatever! I want you gone now" Alpha Jones pulled Mr Kadal away f
Present day.Sophie rushed to CassandraCassandra had fallen down and was groaning hard after pulling the dolls apart."Do not let him escape" Cassandra gargled. "Go after him" she pointed forward.Alpha Nolan started moving away slowly.The Mage held him down with all his strength but Alpha Nolan continued his movement dragging the Mage along.Sophie stared around searching for Crookdove. He was nowhere to be found.Alpha Jones ran out from nowhere with David. They both jumped on Alpha Nolan.Alpha Nolan threw both of them away with a punch. Both of them groaned as they landed on the ground.The Mage was still holding him tight.Sophie ran into him and kicked him to the ground. She looked around but she still couldn't catch a glimpse of Crookdove."Where's Crookdove?" Alpha Jones asked anxiously."I can't find him" Sophie was angry.Alpha Nolan got up again to start running away. He pushed Sophie off her body and continued running to a cornerSophie ran after him. She got to his side
"I'm sure this will seem strange to you. But I'm happy to tell you that after a lot of years, this Manor had been taken back from the imposter" Alpha Nolan addressed the gathering in the yard.The gathering muttered indinstinctly. It was clear that they were not welcoming him."You address them, now" Alpha Nolan snarled at the Mage."This is the new Alpha of the Manor" the Mage endorsed him. "The announcement will be made properly tomorrow. This is just to let you know we now have a new Alpha. He is the Lord of all guards, maids and servants in this Manor" he said conclusively.The gathering kept chattering as they moved away. They were obviously confused and with the Mage endorsement, they had no choice than to murmur."I'm taking a tour round the Manor" Alpha Nolan said loudly after the gathering had dispersed. He waved at Sophie to join him.The three of them went outside. Alpha Nolan kept checking around. He couldn't get satisfied.Sophie was surprised to see Cassandra coming tow
Present day.Sophie and Alpha Jones were still very confused about what to do. Alpha Nolan had become unkillable. He wouldn't also leave the Manor. "Should we just accept the fact that I have won and hand over to me what's mine?" Alpha Nolan asked teasingly."You have lost woefully. We won't stop until you meet your end" Alpha Jones retorted. "I'm fighting you to death" he proclaimed."I think you know only Crookdove can kill me now and I wonder how you are going to do that" he made jest of them."Take her away" Alpha Jones said to David and attacked Alpha Nolan.Sophie pushed David away. She rushed towards Alpha Nolan too.Alpha Nolan hit both of them together and they fell on their backs."I will kill you if you do not stop" he asserted.The Mage came to him. "What do you want?" he asked calmly."You must be the Mage, I want you to announce me as the Alpha of these Manor. Accept defeat and I will spare all of you" Alpha Nolan affirmed."You can not be the Alpha of this Manor. Your
"Why should I kill her?!" Alpha Nolan retorted"Sophie is going to be your downfall, your death, a lot of bad things in your life. You will keep getting near but you won't reach" the Diviner was very certain."That's simple. I can just change her name to Dana. Dana won't be my death, right?" he solved straightaway."You are joking. Changing her name changes not her destiny" the Diviner proclaimed. He got up and left."I think we should obey the Diviner and kill the little girl" Matt whispered to Alpha Nolan."Do you know how many soldiers I lose weekly and do you know how that is affecting my progress?" Alpha Nolan asked trivially.Matt was dumbfounded. He couldn't say anything."So remain quiet like that" Alpha Nolan shunned him.*********************"It still feels like a dream to me, I was nothing few days ago. Now you've made me a Luna. Just like that" Cassandra was all smiling on the bed. She was clearly waiting for Alpha Nolan's arrival into the bedroomAlpha Nolan couldn't get
Sophie rushed at Alpha Nolan. She was not ready to hear anything from him."Didn't you hear what I'm saying? Don't do anything stupid" Alpha Nolan insisted. He didn't run from Sophie or fight back."Crookdove!!" Sophie called him out.Crookdove stood behind Alpha Nolan with his hand stiffened. He was waiting for Sophie to give Alpha Nolan a push."Come on. I warned you" Alpha Nolan's confidence was not diminishing.Sophie pushed him effortlessly. Alpha Nolan made it very easy. The knife went into him. He groaned and exhaled to contain the pain."You have all meet your end" David hummed.Sophie started groaning. Blood was streaming out of her body without being cut."We are going to die together. Tell him to heal and cauterize my wound" Alpha Nolan breathed heavily. He was in great pain.Sophie could feel everything he felt. They were both losing their breath."Tell him to heal me now or we will both.... die.... Tell him" Alpha Jones could no longer held himself up."Crookdove, heal h
"Let's get him the beasts quickly" Sophie yelled hastily and she took off immediately.The giant soldiers flooded in and blocked them."I thought you said you have defeated them mentally?"'Alpha Jones asked the Mage."I just managed to escape. They are still alive and well as you can see" the Mage replied awkwardly.The soldiers started attacking them immediately."We need to fight them" David pulled his sword and engaged them."I think they won't attack us again after Rhine had died" Sophie was confused."Rhine is not the one controlling them. It was Martell" the Mage deduced."Stop! Stop!! Martell doesn't want this" Sophie said loudly but the soldiers didn't bother to listen to her.In no time, David and Alpha Jones had been grounded. They were now fighting for their lives."I need to find Martell" the Mage wanted to steer away."If you will get us anything. Get rats or any living animal for Crookdove" Sophie instructed him.She believed if Crookdove is revived. He would help them f
"I'm going to enjoy this, the Alpha fighting the Luna" Alpha Nolan reacted happily and focused on them.Sophie looked up at Alpha Jones. "Yes. Come and get me then" she stood straight waiting for him."Thank you" Alpha Jones said excitedly. He drew his sword while moving swiftly towards her.Sophie weaved aside to dodge his sword. She hit him on his nose.Alpha Jones staggered back and held his nose. It took some times before he recovered."I didn't know you are going to fight back" Alpha Jones shook his head. "You are welcome" he prepared to attack her again."This is how it should be. He is your enemy. But you are blind by the good side and the bad side. There is no good or bad. We are all trying to do what we have to do" Alpha Nolan encouraged Sophie."Just keep quiet" she yelled at him."You have picked the wrong side, Sophie. But it isn't too late. You have me here. I'm ready to accept you and overlook all your past mistakes" Alpha Nolan didn't stop.Sophie had her mind already
One of the giant soldiers finally got to her. He pulled one of her legs. "I'm one of your commanders!" she cried out. "I'm the Fourth" she breathed heavily.The giant soldiers didn't seem to understand a word she was spitting. They converged around her. With the staunch look on their faces, they definitely wanted to tear her into pieces."Stop!" a voice said suddenly. "Martell didn't want you to hurt her" the Mage walked through them and lent Sophie a hand to get up.The giant soldiers buzzed and moved away from her. They seemed clueless."They stopped?" Sophie was shocked."Only Martell controls them, if he is not around. They are useless" he helped her and they went into one of the chambers."What about David?" Sophie recollected how David had nearly took his life out of him."He's out" the Mage scoffed."Dead?" Sophie wouldn't want that."No. He's only knocked out" he shook his head."That's better. I didn't know you have so much fight in you" Sophie expressed her surprise."Alre
Sophie panted. This was an experience she never expected. Having to fight someone she didn't want to fight.She could have tried to subdue Alpha Jones and got him tied up in some ways. There was no way she could do that with David supporting him.She locked herself up in the throne room but Alpha Jones and David were relentlessly hitting the door to break it down.They were very engrossed in it and the door had started showing them some cooperation.They would be in the throne room with her within few minutes.She started crying. She wouldn't wish to die this way. Being killed by the only man she was in love with "That will be better" she mustered up courage. She decided to kill herself before they would make it in.She searched around for what can be used to commit suicide. All the sharp objects she could get were not promising. None of them could give a fast painless death.She remembered a dagger that was hidden in Alpha Jones throne. She skimmed over and brought it out.She went
