"I guess you know who I am" Luke smacked the counter at the bar.The bartender nodded."Officer Luke" she replied softly."That's good. Can I have a look through your wine cellar?" he requested."Wine cellar?" Alpha Jones asked sarcastically."Yes, I'm sure there must be another bottle of that particular wine" Luke asserted. "We are looking for a person not a bottle of wine" Alpha Jones protested."A person that drank a particular bottle of wine" Luke contended. "If we find the wine,we will find the drinker" he affirmed.Alpha Jones heaved an unsatisfactory sigh. He tapped the counter before the bartender could leave her position."Do you have a record of people who buy wine from you?" Alpha Jones asked her."No. Why should we have that?" the bartender was obviously surprised by the question."Of course, that would have made this place the first that will have that out of all the bars I've been to, all my life" Alpha Jones concluded."Does that mean we can't find him through here?" L
It was a very large compound, looked expensive. Alpha Jones pulled down the glass of the van window to have a satisfactory look."I guess you didn't expect this, as an Alpha" Luke parked the van."Honestly, Alpha Claud surely has a lot of money" Alpha Jones nodded.They both got down from the van and walked towards the house.All the while, Alpha Jones noticed Luke was not himself. He kept jittering as they walked along and his nervousness was glaring."You should have let me come alone. I can't handle a grown man pissing his pants" Alpha Jones said without looking at him."This is the best thing to do. Despite how much, I don't want to come here. I have to" he sighed."So are you afraid I might get angry and beat him up?" Alpha Jones asked teasingly."It isn't just about physical strength. He is a powerful man. He could mistake you for a dangerous intruder. Then I will still have to intervene" Luke said like he was taking Alpha Claud's side."You sound like you still don't believe wh
Sophie sat down on the bed. She sighed in exhaustion."I'm sure he killed him" Alpha Jones disclosed confidently."Then he has to die. Barrett was a good man" she moaned."He will be, but we are not going to do that ourselves. We will expose him to his whole people" Alpha Jones asserted.Sophie was surprised. She didn't expect him to reason like that."You sound like Luke" Sophie stared directly into his eyes."No. I am still myself. I don't take on any Alpha that his tyranny is doubtful. I make sure all of his people want to be liberated before I come to their aid. And that's what I'm going to do to Alpha Claud" he explained."But this place is different from the south. They have blindfolded everyone with their so called law. They will never see their bad side and if they see, they will only grumble" Sophie smirked.North Grave was far worse than the south where they came from. At least the southerners knew what they were getting and who was hurting them. But it was different here. T
Sophie came out of the mall. Alpha Jones was standing in the front of the mall smiling to receive her.Suddenly, a truck drove towards Alpha Jones with great speed. It seemed it was targeted to hit him."Go back in!" Alpha Jones yelled and signaled to Sophie.Sophie was frozen. She couldn't move. She watched as Alpha Jones tried to get out of the truck's path but he was not fast enough.The truck pushed him into the wall of the mall, the broken parts of the wall crashed on him as the truck reversed.The truck door was kicked open from inside. Redmond came down looking very sad and angry. He had a dagger in his hand.He walked over to Alpha Jones that was trying to get back up on his feet. He threw a punch in his face.Alpha Jones fell down to the floor.Sophie was enraged. She threw the bag in her hand all the way at Redmond.Redmond brushed it aside. He waved the dagger at Sophie who was coming towards him."Wait for your turn" he said breathlessly.Sophie rushed at him to push him
It had been almost an hour that Sophie and Alpha Jones had been going through the documents they got from Alpha Claud's office.It didn't only seem suspicious and illegal. It was also not comprehensible. The information were coded in some logical ways."I don't think we will ever have a way with this" Sophie was fed up."I don't even know what to do anymore. It makes no sense" Alpha Jones abandoned the documents."It makes sense" Sophie sighed. "Only to some people and clearly not us" she shrugged her shoulder and walked to the window.She wanted to think of another way.There was a soft knock on the door."Did you order for anything?" Alpha Jones must have thought it was their attendant."No" Sophie moved to the door. She opened it slightly. She saw Luke waiting by the door."Is he in there?" Luke asked hastily. He was obviously in a hurry."Who is that?" Alpha Jones asked."It's me" Luke bellowed. He walked in immediately. "What have you got?" he asked and went for the documents ins
There were only three trucks in the yard. "Nothing changed, it is as always. Parked away" Luke professed as they came nearer to it. He was obviously still trying to discourage Alpha Jones."And the guards, are they always there?" Alpha Jones couldn't see anyone but he was sure there were guards around."There is no one here" Luke emphasized."Stop!" Alpha Jones pulled him back. "That's why you need to be careful. Alpha Claud won't leave three trucks outside in the middle of nowhere" he notified him."There's a fence" Luke disputed."Yes, I see it, a barbed wire fence that could be cut off by plier" he asserted sarcastically."So what are you saying? Not interested in checking the trucks anymore?" Luke whined."No. But we need to see the guards" Alpha Jones ascertained."There are no guards. Just get to the truck, do what you want to do and we go back" Luke picked up a small stone and threw it at the trucks. The stone hit one of the trucks and made some noise."You see, no one" he ch
Alpha Jones stopped by the road. He couldn't continue to the house. There were lot of law officers and other people.Something bad must have happened. He wondered why Luke had sent for him.Luke finally caught a hold of his sight. He waved at him to come while he walked towards him."What has befallen us again?" Alpha Jones asked as they met."A law officer has been killed" Luke sighed. He was obviously sad about it."I'm sure you are not thinking I killed him" Alpha Jones replied sternly."He was killed last night, around the time we were snooping around those trucks. You are free" Luke moaned."So why did you invite me to a murder scene?" Alpha Jones set his arms akimbo."The same reason why I always send for you" Luke held his hand and walked him through into the house. "As we are not sure of who to trust anymore in this killing spree. Is he a victim or an accomplice?" he questioned him."I don't even know who he is" Alpha Jones smirked."You didn't know who Larry is but you accuse
"What is going on in there?" Larry fumed at Luke.Alpha Jones came out and stood at the doorway."The headbutting is about to start" he muttered to himself. "Doing my job, what else should be going on in there?" Luke fired back at Larry. He was obviously not going to condone his scolding."That's an unknown individual meddling with a body of an officer" Larry groaned. "Who knows maybe he had a connection. He could just destroy all evidences and make us look like fools" he sighed.Alpha Jones chuckled. That was a culprit trying to pass the blame on him."That man there is not an unknown man" Luke pointed to Alpha Jones. "His family was killed in this town" he said to defend him."If he isn't unknown to you. He is, to me, because he just popped out of nowhere and with him comes a chain of murders" Larry fumed."If he is known to me, then you have nothing to worry about. I am working on the case" he replied softly."You are going to stop now. I will relieve you of the burden" Larry must
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
