Alpha Jones maintained his stance. He was about shooting another arrow into the range when he heard footsteps running towards him.He turned around and saw the Mage.His mind went straight to what Scott told him. It seemed right.The Mage looked very worried and determined."You are not even considering your age" Alpha Jones muttered."My age matters less in crucial situations like this" he breathed heavily as he stopped beside him."I guess the important situation has a lot to do with the throne and who sits on it" Alpha Jones said looking away."Exactly!" the Mage exclaimed excitedly. "A lot about who will sit on it in the next days coming" he sighed."And is that you?" Alpha Jones fixed his gaze on him until he could feel it was becoming awkward."Me? No. Why me?" the Mage was obviously swimming in astonishment. "Actually, I am here to tell you about my recent vision" he continued."Your recent vision? And it is an emergency because it has to do with Scott" Alpha Jones shot an arro
It was very dark. The Mage stood by the wall quietly to avoid being noticed. He was outside the Manor, close to Scott's window. He had spent some hours there and he still didn't get anything.He was also there the previous night, he didn't find Scott doing anything suspicious but he believed he would catch him redhanded one day. He was looking for an evidence that would be uncontroversial.He had started thinking maybe today was not his lucky day. As the dawn was coming near.Suddenly, an unknown man approached Scott's window and knocked thrice. The Mage sighed. It seemed the Moon goddess had granted his wish and smiled on him. He stood attentively opening all the ears on his body.Not long after, Scott came out to the man. They both walked to a corner.The Mage followed them quietly and took position where he could hear them."The Alpha is very angry at you" the unknown man sounded like a fairly young man."Why, I have been doing everything asked of me" Scott reiterated quickly. "Li
"It's me, Sophie" Sophie held the Mage's hand as he seemed to have become overwhelmed with fear."Luna Sophie?" the Mage asked, calming himself."Yes" Sophie walked him to a side and made him sit down. "Relax yourself" she hoped to hinder his trembling.The Mage resisted but his weakness couldn't let him fight for long."Why are you following me?" he asked impatiently. The Mage seemed unsatisfied with her."Why are you here? That should be the question" Sophie rectified."I can't sleep" he lied which was very obvious."And you followed who is giving you sleepless nights" Sophie completed. She had noticed him spying on Scott for some time."Nights?" the Mage was astounded."I followed you last night, you came here to stand behind his window. I was wondering what you are trying to do to him" she sighed in relief."I just want an evidence that I could present to Alpha Jones, just an evidence and I have found one" he revealed happily."You don't need any of that. You should put an end to
Alpha Jones laughed hard. He leaned back in his throne. It haf been long since he laughed like this.Scott really knew the exact words to say to make him laugh hard."Just stop!" he managed to say while laughing. He raised up both his hands in excitement."I have stopped and you are still laughing" Scott said with a funny tone."Just don't say anything anymore" he sighed and stared at Scott with affection. He wished he had come back a long time earlier. His presence would have been very helpful.The Mage walked in to the throne room. He hurried weirdly towards the throne. Alpha Jones mood swung immediately. The sight of the Mage irritated him but he had nochoice, he had to listen to him.The Mage also hesitated as he laid his eyes on Scott. "What is it?" Alpha Jones sounded unfriendly."I have a message for you and I mean for you only" the Mage fixed his gaze on Scott. He was obviously wishing him bad in his mind."For me only? When do we start sharing such information?" he wouldn't
Sophie could hear as Alpha Jones was sighing heavily on his way to the room. He was obviously very disturbed.He finally came into the room. His face was a clear expression of dilemma.She rose up instantly. She had to make him calm down and she wished she could achieve that easily"Are you okay?" Sophie asked softly."I'm fine" he faked a smile, took off his jacket and went straight to bed."You're really, really fine" Sophie commented sarcastically."I've had enough of both of them" he stood up from the bed furiously, breathing heavily with his rage shot up. "I need to get rid of them" he raved."Scott and the Mage?" she asked softly."They are just pain to me. They both keep confusing me. I can't even get my head straight. I have to banish them, they should go and continue their game elsewhere" he said loudly pointing at a direction."You won't do that" Sophie moved closer to him. She placed her hand on his chest to feel his thumping heart. She wiped his chest downward all in the b
Alpha Nolan kept staring at Scott without saying a word. His eyes were burning and he felt much hatred towards him.Scott sighed. He wanted to speak but he was not courageous enough. His lips were moving but he wouldn't dare open his mouth and utter a word."You let him live and you want me to let you live?" Alpha Nolan finally spilled with thunderous voice."It was a test" Scott knew he could now speak. Further silence would be considered disrespectful."What is your mission in the Manor?" Alpha Nolan ignored his response."To kill the seer" Scott trembled in fear."Why?" Alpha Nolan counted his fingers."To make them vulnerable" Scott replied with the exact words he wanted."That means you couldn't apply sense when needed. I needed them vulnerable, that's why I ordered the seer's death. The Alpha's death will be more severe than that but there you are with your sword on his neck. You stood up from him and let him live" Alpha Nolan vomited sadly."I was trying to gain his trust. Ther
"Spread the bandana" Alpha Nolan whispered to instruct Scott who did as directed immediately.Alpha Nolan bent down to put the hair on the bandana. He walked round the bandana for some minutes. Scott watched him cluelessly."What is it you are doing?" he finally asked impatiently."The best way to enchant. This is the most effective method" Alpha Nolan chuckled. He stretched his hands forth directly over the hair."I do not have much time. I should get back soon" Scott complained again."Wherever you are, I call your spirit. Come quick, for us to discuss in secret" Alpha Nolan chanted repeatedly. He looked up and saw Scott folding his arms on his chest angrily.He was surely not interested in what was going on."What was going to happen now?" he asked as Alpha Nolan withdrew his hands and moved back."Wait for it" he smiled in response."I told you I have no time" he grumbled.Smoke started rising slowly from the bandana until it got high to their eye level. It became thicker and dar
Sophie put on a smile as the Mage walked into the throne room. She loved what was going to happen. The Mage and her husband reconciling after their recent falloutAlpha Jones sighed. It seemed he wasn't feeling very good or he was just awkward on how everything was going to be.He stood up from the throne immediately and hugged the Mage.The Mage smiled at Sophie over Alpha Jones' shoulder."I'm sorry for doubting you, I should know better" Alpha Jones murmured. "You found Alpha Nolan?" the Mage inquired happily."No" Alpha Jones replied instantly and went back to sit on the throne. "No one followed him but his movement was very suspicious and he hasn't been back yet. I believe you have always been right about him" he concluded."No problem about that" the Mage sighed satisfactorily. "We need to act fast now that we have identified our enemy" he urged."What are we going to do? We don't even know if he is coming back" Alpha Jones opened his hands wide in cluelessness."Something tell
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
