Tonia stood in the center of the hallway. She was waiting for the guard walking towards her.The guard hesitated on seeing her. He must have felt skeptical by her weird stance."Come" she waved at him seductively."What?" the guard looked around probably checking if he was alone. He moved quickly towards her. "How may I help you?" he grinned happily."First, I need food for seven men. And then your service" she replied him slowly and winked at him."Food for seven men? What are you going to do with that?" he asked smiling. "I already have six men. You are the seventh. You need the food for the job you are going to do for me" she moaned. "So, run all the way and fetch it for me" she turned to show him her side."You want me to run along?" he stared down the hallway behind him. "Why would I do that?" he chuckled. He was obviously not going to cooperate with her."I think you already know what's in it for you" she tilted her head to a side."Of course, I can see it written all over your
Alpha Jones paused suddenly. His attention was shifted to Caleb, the head of the security guards.He was coming into the throne room to report something very bad, obviously. The look on his face had said it all."What happened?" Alpha Jones couldn't wait for him to talk."Six guards are missing, sir" he replied sharply."Six guards? Missing or dead?" it seemed Alpha Jones couldn't comprehend."They are not dead, probably, as far as I know, it seems they left the Manor willingly" he wasn't sure."Has a case like this ever happened before?" Alpha Jones stared at Sophie probably to get her contribution."This is the first time and I think they might have done that due to what happened last time" Caleb uttered clearly."What happened last time?" Alpha Jones asked instantly."I was told, Beta David killed a guard just because he was tired. I think they left due to that and I'm afraid many might be planning to leave too" he finally conveyed."You see" Alpha Jones sighed. "That's what I was
Sophie rushed to hug Alpha Jones. She was terrified."Are you okay?" Alpha Jones asked calmly. He rubbed her head soothingly.Sophie nodded. She buried her head in his chest.There was a violent knock on the door. Both of them were startled"Who is that?" Alpha Jones was the first to break out of his startling.There was another round of hard knocks instead of a verbal response.Alpha Jones headed to the door. He clearly wanted to go and open it without a proper thought."Wait!" Sophie pulled him back. "We don't know who is there, what if....." she panted."Whoever it is, standing out there. I will open the door" he insisted."Do you know their numbers? What if the whole guards have turned on us?" she was too scared."At least, I still need to open the door to get you to safety" Alpha Jones replied slowly. He took her hands off his body and went to the door. He opened it swiftly. David jumped in, with readiness for a fight. He looked around and saw the dead guards. He looked surprise
David couldn't walk uprightly as he stormed out of the throne room. He believed that must have been caused by the goddess, Tonia.Though he did nothing wrong but she must have been angry that Alpha Jones escaped death."I'm sorry, goddess" he whispered to himself and continued fidgeting towards Tonia's compartment. He was going to tell her to put all the blame on him.He wanted to be punished for what he knew nothing about. He didn't even know when Tonia sent the guards to kill Alpha Jones. But now that the mission had failed, she would be angry. David wouldn't want that.The goddess' anger should be avoided at all. cost.He knocked on Tonia's door.She opened it instantly like she had been waiting for him. She stared at him for a while like she was surprised."David?" she made her mouth hollow in shock."My goddess" David struggled, trying to fight the pain going round his body. "I'm sorry" he begged."Sorry for what?" Tonia asked helplessly."You are angry. And the anger is taking t
In the hallway, Sophie hesitated. She could hear some light footsteps. She stared around looking for who it was.Someone was obviously sneaking behind her.She didn't see anyone. She continued walking to her room with extra carefulness."Sophie" Tonia called her softly from behind She was sure it was her voice but she wouldn't expect her to be snooping around her this way. They weren't friends, though they were not enemies."Tonia?" she asked without turning to face her."Yes, it's me, my Luna" Tonia replied politely. "You don't want to see my face?" she chuckled.Sophie chuckled with her. She was wondering what she was up to."I hear you are a goddess" she teased her as she turned to face her. "How do you have a Luna?" she scoffed."Being exalted doesn't mean you should be disrespectful" she said briefly.Sophie was stunned, she felt insulted and it showed on her face."I'm talking about myself" Tonia said to calm her. "I just realized I have not been given you enough respect and re
Sophie rushed into the Mage's compartment."Who the hell is that?" the Mage asked before looking up. He turned around and found Sophie standing right behind him. "Oh! My Luna!" he exclaimed in surprise.Sophie was breathing heavily. She couldn't say anything. Though Tonia failed, she was still terrified."You are acting like you just saw a ghost" the Mage said in a funny way to calm her."What I saw is worse than seeing a ghost" she sighed and tried to catch her breath."This Manor is very secured. It isn't easy to be infiltrated by a ghost talkless of something scarier than a ghost" he asserted confidently."Very secured?" Sophie said sarcastically. She remembered how her mother, Cassandra came in and left without being caught and the Mage could still claim it was secured."So what is it that you see?" the Mage cut to the chase."Tonia!" Sophie moaned. "She is the being scarier than the ghost" she exaggerated."Don't tell me you have fallen for her and see her as a goddess too" the M
Alpha Jones was worried. It had been few minutes that he had been looking for Sophie. He thought she would be in the throne room.He couldn't find her there. "Where are you, where are you?" he muttered to himself repeatedly as he ventured back on the way to the compartments.He met a guard groaning along the hallway. He was staggering back and forth. He was obviously in a lot of pains.Alpha Jones abandoned his mission of finding Sophie. He rushed to the guard and assisted him to sit down with his back against the wall.The guard was shaking all over his body."What's your name?" Alpha Jones asked him."Tedline" he groaned."What have you eaten?" Alpha Jones thought he might be suffering from food poisoning. There was no cut on him and no bruises."I need to share this with someone right now" he managed to speak but Alpha Jones couldn't understand him. His eyes were scarily bulging."Where are the others?" Alpha Jones looked around to find another guard that could assist him to the h
Sophie could hear Alpha Jones' voice. She scampered outwards to meet him."You are here" Alpha Jones was astounded. "I've been looking for you for a while. Where is the Mage, there is something he needs to know about?" he was clearly unsettled."He is preparing some things for an important mission" Sophie said reluctantly. She felt Alpha Jones might not be in support of their little escapade."Important mission?" he chuckled. "Nothing can never be more important than what I'm about to tell him" he said boastfully.Sophie believed that could be more important than what she had the Mage working on. It was a matter of life and death of Alpha Jones himself but he wouldn't know."He will be through with it in few minutes" she moaned."Do you think I'm blabbing?" Alpha Jones seemed seriously worried. "Mage!! It is better you bring yourself out or I will have to drag you of wherever you are" he cried out."I'm coming. This is a matter of life and death" the Mage said loudly to reply him. He
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
