~In the calm, deep waters of the mind, the wolf waits.

----F.T. McKinstry

************************************

The Crescent Stone Pack's territory was located northeast of the land of Boulderstall. The place was named by the first werewolves who settled there hundreds of years ago. Every werewolf in Boulderstall knew the story of how the place got its name and the great rivalry between the Crescent stone pack and the shadow pack of the land of Midvein.

It wasn't always like this, Thousands of years ago the Crescent Stone Pack and the Shadow pack lived in peace together as one pack, known as the Moon Empire Pack. The Alpha then, Alpha Rudolphus was a great and mighty warrior who guided and taught his pack to leave together as one. He had two sons Ulfang and Grogan. Ulfang was the eldest and was to be the next Alpha since his father was old and getting weak. Grogan was only a year younger than Ulfang and was known to be quick-tempered and rude, the opposite of his brother.

Everyone in the pack loved and respected Ulfang. He was the replica of his father, the most powerful Alpha who ever lived. He was a great and skilled warrior just like his father.

Alpha Rudolphus was old and depleting and ended up dying a sudden death. Ulfang was made Alpha and ruled gracefully for many years. One day during one of his nightly endeavors he came across his mate, Uma. They accepted each other and Uma become the Luna of the pack.

Uma was a beautiful and strong-willed woman. Together with Alpha Ulfang, they became an unbeatable pair. Four full moons later, Uma was announced pregnant and expecting the Alpha's first child. Ulfang was so happy and excited when he found out. He was finally going to have his child in his hands.

But there was one problem, Grogan was in love with Uma. He didn't believe in the notion that one was to wait for a soulmate and stay with that person till death. He was jealous of his brother being Alpha and having Uma all to himself, so he planned to overthrow Ulfang.

He went to the rogues and promised to bring them back to the pack if they helped him kill Alpha Ulfang. The rogues agreed and so a trap was set for Ulfang.

The rogues attacked the village and Ulfang and his warriors including Grogan rushed to protect the people.

After successfully winning the fight with the rogues, Grogan stabbed Ulfang in the back, with a silver blade he acquired from a witch when Ulfang was still in his wolf form and become the new Alpha. He changed the name of the pack to the Shadow pack and made a new set of rules.

A great mourning fell over the whole pack as they lost a leader they loved and cherished.

Uma tried to kill herself and her child in her womb after she heard of her mate's death by his brother but she was stopped by Grogan when he came across her before she could finish the act.

After her son was born, one of the warriors who was a friend of Ulfang informed her of Grogan's plan to kill her child before sunrise the following day. She escaped from the castle with the help of some of the warriors who did not like Alpha Grogan.

She was still weak from giving birth but managed to run away from Midvein with her child whom she named Bodolf, her parents, and a few of her loyal maids.

They journeyed for days and months until they came upon a land with no residents on it. Uma named the place Boulderstall which meant freedom and so they settled there. Some days later she passed away because she was too weak and didn't fully recover after giving birth to Bodolf.

Her parents Lupin and Ida took over taking care of Bodolf. Bodolf grew and married one of the maids called Belvina and they gave birth to children who also married and gave birth to more children. Years later, the Crescent Stone Pack was born. The story of how Boulderstall came to be was spread from generation to generation. The Crescent Stone Pack and the Shadow pack became sworn enemies and remained so for thousands of years.

Paige was right behind me trying to keep up but I was way faster than her.I stuck my mouth out of my mouth, as the wind slapped my face. I liked to let my wolf out and run free. To feel the sun kiss my face. I wished this moment would last forever. Freedom, how I longed for it."Hey, wait for me," Paige spoke, communicating telepathically to me while trying to catch up with me.I ignored her and ran further into the woods. I wasn't supposed to be out but I convinced Paige to help me sneak out. We reached the clearing which lead to town and changed into our human forms and wore our clothes behind the bushes. It was easier to sneak out in my wolf form."What the hell is wrong with you Reika? Do you seriously want me to lose my head!" she shouted startling me and drawing the

    ~"A man might befriend a wolf, even break a wolf, but no man could truly tame a wolf."The silver blade had been stabbed into his chest. The ugly man lay lifeless on the ground and in front of him was another man wearing a very long black cloak with a hood covering his head. I could barely make out his face but from the outline of his jaw and his lips, I could tell that there was a pretty face hidden by his clothes.He stretched his hand to help me up and I quickly took it. I brushed the dirt off my clothes and checked up on Paige to see that she was alright. I could still feel pains in my throat but the dizziness had subsided. I tried to get a glimpse of his face but he hid it too well. Paige came to stand behind also looking at him with admiration and curiosity."Thank you sir for saving our life. Is there any way we could repay you?" I quirked expecting an answer but the only thing he did was turn around and start walking away. Puzzled by his actions I tried to catch up with him, P

My hair for the first time in my life has been left on its own and decorated with flowers of different kinds. When I had a chance to look in the mirror earlier, I couldn't believe what I saw. I looked beautiful. I could confidently say it now.My arrival was announced and all the people below turned to look as I descended the stairs. I raised my chin high just like Kira taught me exuding elegance and confidence when deep down I was nervous from all the attention I was getting. Some people stared with awe while others, let's just say didn't look pleased at all. I was used to most of them. Being the Alpha's daughter didn't people actually liked me, they just never disrespected me because they feared for their heads. The only person who could say all manners of commen

    We talked for a while. He told me a story of how he got a very big scar on his right eye that nearly blinded him but if not for a very powerful healer who helped him. He allowed me to touch his scar. I couldn't see his face so I imagined how it would look on his face.I told him of when I pulled a prank on Kira when I was eight. Paige and I had put Boyle, a substance that caused itchiness, into her bathing gel. I omitted Paige from the story since I was obviously lying about my name. It felt so good to recall that memory, especially with a stranger who could freely laugh with me. I didn't think I'd ever laughed with someone who wasn't Paige before.The snack table became vacant as the crowd cheered for another dance. He finally let go of me. This was my chance to escape but I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay and continue talking to him and share more stories and I really wanted to see his face. I turned to speak to him when I realized he wasn't there anymore. The stranger had left

    "You did what?" Paige shouted but I covered her mouth before she could utter more insults my way."I'll be damned. Why the hell would you do that? Okay so what if he starts looking for a girl named Paige, what am I to do?" She started biting her lips. It was something she did unconsciously when she was stressed out."It's no big deal. He left without a goodbye. I doubt that we'll ever cross paths again." I said in an 'I don't care' tone but I knew from how she narrowed her eyes that she could see right through me."You almost had me fooled Reika but the look in your eyes tells me something different. You want to see him again, don't you?""Ugh, Paige it's killing me not knowing what he looks like." I finally said letting my frustration show. I hadn't been able to sleep last night because my mind was occupied by the stranger."When we talked yesterday, I felt something that I can't understand. I know we don't believe in mates but it felt like he was the one for me. I don't…." I break o

    A pungent smell hit my nose as I regained consciousness. It was coming from the dirty cloth which had been used to cover my eyes. I had a mild headache and my mind was fuzzy. Nothing made sense. It was like I had been drugged with something. I felt weak and I could barely move. My hands and legs were tied with ropes and I lay on a very hard wood that had been used as a seat.My body suddenly jerked forward and I fell face flat on the floor of the carriage I was in as it rocked back and forth along a rocky road.What the hell was going on?I got up from the floor and sat back on the wood.I couldn't remember how I got myself into this situation. The only thing I could recall was my nose being with a wet cloth and seeing Paige and Kira unconscious on the ground. Was Paige alright?As much as I loathed Kira, I did not what her dead.Was I being kidnapped? Where were they taking me?All these questions ran through my head as the carriage suddenly stopped and footsteps neared it. The door

    ~VLAD~To say I was stunned was a huge understatement. I had never thought to check up on the lady because I didn't see her as a potential trait. When I turned around and spotted her trying to escape, I was stupefied.How did she untie herself?I turned back to my human form and dragged her back to the carriage. She cried and bit my hands several times but my grip on her was very strong.Fitcher and the other men were behind me, staring at the lady with amazement written all over their faces."Are you sure we kidnapped the right person?" Fitcher asked flabbergasted, "How did she even untie herself?""Damn it. she used the wine bottle I left in the carriage." Kai spoke coming out of the carriage with pieces of glass in his hands. When did he even enter there?"You're a very cunning lady." Bruno sneered from where he was sitting on the ground while Alec went back to reading his book. He was such a bookworm."What do you want from me?" the girl voiced from beside me. She tried to speak i

    Was it him, Vlad?The Stranger I had hidden behind the potted plant?Yesterday when the other man, what was his name again? Aha! Fitcher had mentioned the name, I was extremely shocked. I had looked at him front head to toe assessing him. The man standing before me had white hair and was very good-looking. He appeared to have the same height as the stranger but he couldn't be him because he didn't have a scar on his left eye.If he was indeed the man behind the potted plant; then there should have been a scar on his face. I remembered it clearly. My hands had touched it, felt it.He couldn't be that 'Vlad'. It was not possible. I couldn't bring myself to believe that the stranger behind the potted plant, who had made me feel such wonderful things, was the same man who had kidnapped me.Waking up an hour ago to find 'Vlad' looking at me as if he couldn't quite believe what he was seeing, was quite unsettling. His gaze had startled me and I nearly fell off the wood if not for his hand

  • Alpha Reika   Fighting back[3]

    ~ReikaI was leaning against a wall, my eyes slowing closing, heading to a much-needed sleep when the sound of a distant growl reached my ears. My heart skipped a beat and I rose to my feet in fear. I looked at Arya, who had frozen in place, her eyes wide with concern.How had they found us so quickly?“Have they found us?”, I asked, my voice trembling, even though I didn’t want it to. I had to be strong!“It’s a warning,” Arya said quietly. “ It means they’re still looking for us. They’re probably close by. As long as we don’t make any noise, we’ll be okay. We need to be vigilant”“What about our scent? I hadn’t thought of it earlier but won’t they be able to trace it here.”Arya gave me a faint smile, “I’ve taken care of that. I concealed our scent with a magic potion, Eragon and I had gotten a while back.”The small sack she’d been holding!“Oh. Smart move.” I mentally smacked myself. Why hadn’t I thought of that? I was so useless. The Moon pack is still out there, searching for us

    ~ReikaI hesitated, my heart hurting with the knowledge that I was leaving everyone fighting those monsters behind. I had to trust that they'd be okay. With one final look, I turned and entered the passage. As Arya led everyone into the depths of the passage, the sounds of the battle fading, I made a vow to myself, that I would find a way to end this war, no matter what it took. But now the women and children were of top priority.The darkness of the passage pressed in on me, as we followed closely behind Arya, through the winding tunnels. There was no light, just plain darkness, making it impossible to see anything. The only sense of direction we had was the formation of a straight line, where everyone held onto each other with Arya leading. As we reached the hidden exit in the forest, I paused and listened intently. The sounds of battle were distant now, but I could hear the occasional distant growls. I only hoped Vlad and Eragon were holding their own.Arya ushered everyone out int

    ~ReikaAs I lay there, the warmth of Vlad’s body pressed against mine, a sense of unease gnawed at the back of my mind. The world outside the tent seemed distant, almost unreal, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was wrong.Suddenly, the flap of the tent was thrown open, and Arya burst in, her face pale, her eyes wide with fear. “Reika, we need to leave. Now!”I sat up quickly, pulling away from Vlad. “What’s happening?”“They found us,” Arya gasped, struggling to catch her breath. “The Moon pack… they’ve found us and we’re outnumbered. They’re vicious, Reika!”Vlad was on his feet in an instant, his expression darkening. “The Moon pack?” His voice was a low growl, the tension in the room thick enough to cut with a knife.My heart sank. I had hoped for more time to prepare myself for this, but it seemed fate had other plans. “They want me. But I didn’t think they’d find us and this quickly too,” I whispered, my mind racing. “We have to get out of here before they….”A

    A few days later, I made it to Boulderstall and was shocked by what I witnessed. The town was in ruins and men who I recognized as warriors of the moon pack guided the place. I knew this because there were many faces I’d encountered during my visits to their territory. I could capture things easily. Staying out of focus, I monitored everything that took place in front of the great gate that opened to the town. Carriages entered carrying boxes probably filled with food supplies. I still couldn’t fathom the fact that the moon pack had attacked the crescent stone back. Alpha Conri and Alpha Bodolf had been allies way before I had even been born. Surely, their friendship wouldn’t have been strong enough if a simple cancelled marriage had led to this.There was a ninety per cent chance that Reika was already in Boulderstall and had been captured. Though the chances were high, my gut told me she wasn’t. That I should look somewhere else. But where?Crouching down I tried to smell for any cl

    ~VLAD~I could hear concerned voices surrounding me as I was carried from the ground and placed on what felt like a mat. Their voices were muffled in my ears so I couldn’t pick up what they were talking about. I was semi-unconscious, that I could tell since I could not open my damn eyes. I tried to recognize each of them which, was useless considering my current state. The pain was still there but, I could no longer feel the dagger that had been accidentally stabbed into my chest by the woman I’d come to care about—that too against my wishes. She was the only one I could think of at that moment. Was she okay? Had she already reached Boulderstall? And most importantly, would I get to see her again? I felt a deep ache in my chest just from thinking of that. A wet substance was suddenly applied to my wound before all hearing seized and, I blacked out again.I woke up to the sound of men talking and the clattering of plates. My stomach grumbled and, my mouth watered as my nose picked up t

    ~ReikaI made my way through the crowd until I stood in front of what had caught their attention. My body became tense, my hands slightly shaking by my sides as I stared at the person before me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing."V-Vlad?" my voice came out hoarse, my throat suddenly parched. He wasn’t dead! I couldn't explain the emotion that washed over me. Relief, sadness, I couldn’t tell but I was glad to see him. He looked well. No one would believe I’d stabbed him with a silver dagger some weeks ago. He stared back at me, his gaze piercing my soul as he came towards me. There was something in his gaze, a fondness that hadn’t been there before. It confused me. Everyone moved back, clearing the way for him as he reached me. I stood frozen before him, too shocked that words refused to tumble out of my mouth.He stood close now, so close that I could see a fading scar that cut across the left side of his face. It hadn’t been there before but it reminded me of the stranger behind

    "Reika"He looked confused, "What?""My name is Reika, not Paige. I lied."Eragon's eyes widened. Arya and Marcie gasped from where they stood."Wait!", Marcie's terrifying gaze pierced into mine, "Are you Reika, daughter of the Alpha of the Crescent Stone pack?""Y-yes, I am", I let out a breath i didn't know i'd been holding, relieved that I'd finally been able to let out the truth."But how's that possible? You...you were kidnapped by the shadow pack!"Marcie yelled. She looked troubled, so much that she could hardly meet my gaze. What was wrong with her?"I was. I escaped and don't ask me how. I have to look for my family."Eragon and Arya had not spoken a word during our exchange.I looked at Eragon, his face was expressionless, " I have to go in there. Thanks for everything you've done for me. And I'm sorry for lying to you but I've learnt not to trust anyone."I turned to leave but then a hand grabbed my arm, stopping me again."What is it...""I'll go with you!," Eragon said,

    “Something isn't right,” Eragon voiced, his words loud enough to sink into my panicked mind.“I'll go ahead and check”, Arya suggested but Eragon raised his hand, signalling her not to. He descended and helped me down before climbing back on. He led us to a grove on the left side of the road, and tied the horses to the stem of a tree. He said to me, “Reika, stay here with Arya and Marcie. I'll go ahead and check what's going on.” and whispered into Arya’s ears before leaving.My chest felt tight and I could hardly breathe as Arya, Marcie and I hid behind a large tree. My hands were sweaty and slightly shook as nerves overcame my calm state. I had a bad feeling about what was going on and I felt a sense of loss that I could not explain. It reminded me of the feeling I had when my eyes lay on Vlad's lifeless body. Shaking the memories away I turned to look at the other two people with me. My eyes widened as I found Arya staring intently at me."Are you okay?" She asked, shocking me to t

    ~Reika~Eragon was my saviour. I liked the way he carried himself and how he was the true image of confidence. He'd been so kind to me that I couldn't help but seek his presence all the time. I enjoyed the stories of his journeys that he told me and found myself agreeing to whatever he said even if it didn't make sense. He was so wise and intelligent and the way he spoke volumes of that. He loved to read books, something I deeply admired about him, and had the weird habit of running his hands through his long hair every minute. He has been nothing but polite and gentle with me which made me sometimes wonder if he was truly a rogue. The thought never came to me at first but after spending more than ten days with them, I began to ask myself, 'why did the others seem to fear him?'I'd been told numerous times not to trust rogues and of how cruel they were, my first encounter with them had been proof enough. They had been ugly vicious beasts with blood lust eyes and sharp teeth that could
