~Otsana

It's been two days since Ralph returned, and I couldn’t shake the persistent urge to check on him. I didn’t exactly know why. It wasn’t like he cared about my sympathy or would even acknowledge it, but the need lingered. Maybe it was my subconscious trying to connect with him in a way that defied logic. Regardless, I found myself standing outside his office, heart racing.

The thought of entering his office made my nerves jangle. I wasn’t sure what kind of reaction I’d get from him. Would he be cold? Dismissive? Or worse, angry? Still, I couldn’t seem to let it go. I had already brewed him a cup of coffee, something simple, yet it felt like an offering, a peace gesture that I wasn't even sure he would appreciate.

I took a deep breath, then another, gathering my strength before knocking on the door. When the door finally opened, my anticipation plummeted. It wasn’t Ralph who answered, but Callan. He stood there with a welcoming smile, his presence immediately putting me somew

    ~Ralph I couldn’t shake the thought of the rogues lurking out there, planning their next move. Every fiber of my being screamed that they were waiting, biding their time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike again. I sat in a dimly lit room with Callan and my brother, Jasper, discussing strategies. My frustration was reaching a boiling point. “We can’t let them strike again,” I yelled, slamming my fist down on the bed, the anger consuming me. “We need to find them before they come for us again.” I tried to get up, to do something, anything. But my body, weakened from the brutal journey back, betrayed me. I collapsed back onto the bed, my muscles trembling with exhaustion. I hated this—hated feeling so powerless, so vulnerable. Every part of me wanted to get out there and hunt them down myself, but I was still too weak from the battle, the long, arduous trek back that nearly killed me. My mind was sharp, but my body refused to cooperate. “I have to get up,” I muttered through g

    ~Otsana Ever since I discovered that Alpha Ralph enjoyed the coffee I made, I’d been secretly sending him a cup every morning, though I had to use another maid to deliver it. He disliked me now—no, he hated me—and I was sure that was the reason he never wanted me near him. Still, I wasn’t trying to force myself into his life or expect a sudden change in our relationship. I just wished he would acknowledge me like he used to, I feel his current situation was my fault, I pushed him to that journey, if only I hadn't been captured by the rogues, maybe Ralph would still be nice to me. Even a little recognition or a small nod of approval from him, would’ve meant the world to me. Instead, he always kept his distance, treating me like I was invisible or worse, a nuisance. But still, I sent him the coffee, hoping that one day it might change his view, even if just a little. “Hey!” Kate’s voice broke through my thoughts like a splash of cold water. “Are you alright? You’ve been cutting that

    ~Ralph It's been weeks since Jasper returned with his son. Ever since, even with all the chaos going on in the pack, I've had a gnawing feeling that something bad was about to happen. I know my brother loves me and would never intentionally hurt me, but his sudden appearance with his son has left me uneasy. I paced back and forth in my chambers, my thoughts spinning. What is Jasper up to? “Aren’t you excited about your brother? I mean, he’s back after all this time. That’s got to be a good thing, right? Now that Jasper’s here, we’ll be stronger than ever, him helping out during the rogue attack, is enough evidence that he was useful to the pack,” Callan said, his eyes practically gleaming with excitement. He clearly didn’t share the same doubts I did. While Callan was thrilled, I couldn’t stop the growing unease inside me. Jasper’s return wasn’t as simple as Callan thought. He hadn’t been around in years, and now he was back, bringing with him the possibility of change, of upheaval

    ~Ralph Otsana stood trembling before me, her shoulders hunched as she tried to avoid making direct eye contact. I could see the fear in her eyes, the way she shifted nervously from foot to foot. The air around us was thick with tension. "Why did you break it, Otsana?" I asked, my voice low but carrying the weight of authority. Her eyes widened, and she swallowed hard before responding, her voice barely above a whisper. "I-I didn’t mean to, Alpha. I was working, supervising everyone like you asked, when suddenly I felt someone push me. I fell into the vase, and it broke." Her voice wavered with each word, as if she were afraid that every sound might condemn her further. One of the other girls, standing nearby, scoffed and crossed her arms. "She's lying, Alpha. I was right there, and no one pushed her. She did it on her own. I saw it with my own eyes." I turned my gaze toward the girl who had spoken, noting the smug expression on her face. She seemed all too eager to throw Otsana un

    ~Ralph I seethed, my fists clenched at my sides as I pace the room. The very thought of my brother Jasper's betrayal sent a bolt of rage through me. I had never expected him to want to take the Alpha position from me, and now, he has turned against me. My Beta, Callan, watched me with concern. "What are we going to do about Jasper?" he asked, his voice low and even. "We can't let him take the Alpha position from you." My jaw tensed. Callan continued, his voice steady. "You had ruled the pack for years, ever since your father's death. And when Jasper disappeared, with everyone thinking he was dead, you stepped in as Alpha and led us with strength and conviction. Now, he returned with a son, to try and claim the Alpha position from you? I wouldn't stand for it. We wouldn't stand for it. You can't let him take it away from you." I stopped pacing, and turned to face Callan, my eyes burning with intensity. "You're right," I said, my voice low and dangerous. "I won't let Jasper take th

    ~Otsana I stumbled through the halls, tears streaming down my cheeks. My heart pounded in my chest, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. "Otsana!" a voice called out, and I looked up to see Kate rushing towards me, concern etched on her face. "What's wrong? What happened?" I collapsed into Kate's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. "He was going to do it. He was going to force himself on me. I thought I was going to die." Kate gently guided me to a chair, her hand resting on my shoulder as I continued to sob. "Shh, it's okay, Otsana. You're safe now." She knelt down in front of me, her eyes filled with compassion. "You know, I'm actually surprised that Alpha Ralph was so patient with you. He could have forced himself on you a long time ago, but he didn't. Not after the incident with Jasper's unicorn." I looked up at Kate, confusion clouding my mind. "What do you mean?" I asked, my voice small and trembling. Kate sighed, her brow furrowing in concern. "Otsana, you know that Alpha Ralph

    ~Ralph I returned to my room, my mind reeling from my meeting with the seer. Her solution to my problem with my brother Jasper had been both unexpected and radical. She had suggested that I create a new clan from within the greyhound pack and give it to Jasper to rule. As I paced back and forth in my room, I found myself unable to shake the feeling of unease that settled in my gut. I knew that my brother was ambitious and would likely jump at the opportunity to rule his own clan, but what if he refuses? I ran my hand through my hair, frustration mounting as I tried to find an answer. If I agreed to the seer's plan, I would be giving up part of my pack, the very pack that I had sworn to protect and lead. But if I didn't, the conflict between Jasper and I could only escalate. I sat down heavily on my bed, the weight of the decision crushing me. My brother may be ruthless, but he was still family. Could I really turn my back on him? A knock sounded at the door, interrupting my though

    ~Ralph As I slid into her, a low groan escaped me, my body reacting instinctively to the sensation of being surrounded by her. Every inch of me was alive, sparking as I felt her softness embrace me, drawing me in deeper. Otsana's gasp mingled with the rustling of the grass beneath her, her nails digging into the earth as she clung on, her body shivering with every movement. Once I started, I knew there was no stopping. It was a point of no return, every sense heightened as if we were the only two beings in the world. I moved with a steady, unrelenting pace, each thrust a silent claim on her, each touch a mark of possession. The primal side of me took over, something raw and wild that I couldn’t rein in, nor did I want to. Her moans grew louder, answering my own rough grunts, the sounds of our bodies colliding punctuating the night air with the intensity of our desire. The night seemed to close in around us, wrapping us in a world of our own. My hands gripped her hips tightly, holdin

    ~OtsanaI hummed a cheerful tune as I soaked in the warm, fragrant bath. The thought of spending the evening with Alpha Ralph filled me with excitement and anticipation, my heart fluttering like a bird in flight."I can't wait to see him," I murmured, a smile playing on my lips. "I can't believe I'm in love."My mind drifted back to the first time I'd met him, my heart racing with the memory."I knew from the moment I saw him that he'd be the love of my life," I whispered.I slipped deeper into the warm water, my muscles relaxing as the fragrant soap bubbles surrounded me. I closed my eyes, letting the heat of the water soothe away the day's stresses.Suddenly, I heard a strange voice calling my name."Otsana?"I sat up in the water, my eyes wide with alarm."Did I hear that right?" I asked myself, my heart racing. "Was that my imagination?"I listened carefully, the only sound, the gentle gurgling of the water in the tub."It must have been my imagination," I whispered, my heart stil

    ~RalphI stood on the balcony of my Chambers, surveying my pack with a sense of pride. The sun was bright overhead, the sky a brilliant blue.As I stood there, I saw a car approaching, its engine rumbling as it made its way toward the compound.I turned to Callan, my Beta, who stood beside me."Are we expecting anyone today?" I asked, my brow furrowing in confusion.Callan shook his head, his expression serious."No, Alpha," he said, his voice tense and cautious."We aren't expecting anyone," he continued, his eyes narrowed with suspicion. "But I've already sent word to all the neighboring packs, including Noah, the Lycan king. They should be arriving any moment now. The battle is in five days, after all."My jaw tightened, a sense of unease washing over me."Keep an eye on whoever it is," I said, my voice firm and commanding. "And send word to the guards."No one enters or leaves this compound without my permission."I rushed to the gate, my heart pounding with anticipation. As I dre

    ~SophiaI sat in the moonlight oack's garden with my father, my mind swirling with questions and doubts."Father," I said, my voice hesitant. "Why are you so determined to marry me off to Alpha Ralph? You seem so bent on this alliance."He smiled, a cold and calculating gleam in his eyes."Sophia," he said, his voice low and smooth. "I am doing this for the good of our pack. You see, if you marry Ralph, it will create a powerful alliance between the Moonlight and Greyhound Pack."And with that alliance," my father continued, his voice taking on a conspiratorial tone, "we can conquer the Dark Shadow Pack." "The Dark Shadow Pack sits on a valuable piece of land that would greatly expand the territory of our own pack. And with you married to Ralph, we will have the manpower and resources to take it."I swallowed hard, my stomach churning with fear.As if on cue, my phone began to ring in my hand. I smiled, grateful for the distraction."Excuse me, Father," I said, standing from my seat.

"Otsana, Otsana, Otsana."Suddenly, I bumped into a solid form. "Alpha!" a voice cried, and I realized it was Callan"Callan," I said, my voice slurring. "Where's Otsana?"Callan looked at me with concern."Otsana?" Callan asked, his voice puzzled. "She's in the maids' quarters, I believe. Why do you ask?"I steadied myself against him, my hands gripping his shoulders. "I need to see her," I said, my words thick with need. "I need to make sure she's safe."Callan frowned. "Alpha, are you sure you're okay?" he asked, his eyes narrowed with concern. "You're not acting like yourself."I shoved away from Callan, my determination fueling me as I stumbled through the pack grounds, my feet thudding against the earth."Otsana," I murmured, the name a chant in my head. "I can't do this. I can't betray the prophecy, I do not wish to die."Finally, I re

    ~RalphThe council chamber was silent, the air heavy with tension. The elders sat in a semi-circle, their faces carved with age and wisdom, their eyes fixed on the confrontation unfolding before them."I will not marry your daughter, Sophia," I declared, my voice a hammer to the table. "Whatever agreement the council made, I will not abide by it."Alpha Grayson slammed his fist on the table, his face twisted in rage. "This is an insult," he snarled, his eyes blazing. "I saved your life, and you repay me with defiance?""I do not owe you my life," I growled, my own fury rising to meet his. "And I certainly do not owe you my future."Grayson stood, his body rigid with indignation. "You are a fool," he spat, his voice trembling with rage. "You think you can defy me, and there will be no consequences?"The elders exchanged worried glances, their eyes darting between us like a spark of flame."Enough," one of the elders said, his voice a balm to the heated argument."We did not bring you h

As my eyes adjusted, I saw a figure sitting at the edge of my bed, their features blurry and indistinct."Alpha Ralph?" a voice said, the words sickly sweet.I blinked, my voice emerging as a raspy croak. "Nicole?"I tried to sit up, but my body felt weak, the effort draining my already meager strength.Nicole reached out a hand, her touch cool against my skin."Don't try to move, Alpha," she said, her voice cloying "You've been through a lot."I recoiled from her touch, my stomach churning with disgust. "What are you doing here?" I demanded, my voice dripping with venom. "You have no business being in my room."Nicole's smile faltered, her eyes narrowing in anger. "I was only trying to help," she hissed, her hands balling into fists."I see you finally took the antidote," Nicole purred, her voice dripping with smug satisfaction.

    ~OtsanaI walked through the pack, my steps sluggish as I grappled with the mixed emotions swirling inside me. Alpha Ralph's dismissal had left me feeling dejected, I was a fool to ever think he'd fall in love with someone like me."Otsana."I turned, surprised to see Tabitha, the head maid, standing behind me. "Someone from Moonlight Pack, wishes to speak with you."My heart quickened in my chest. Someone from the Moonlight pack? That's my former pack, what could the person want?"Tabitha extended a hand towards the Alpha's residence, her expression enigmatic. "They are waiting in the study," she said, a curious lilt to her voice. "I cannot say more than that."I followed her down the path, my mind racing with possibilities. Who could it be that wanted to speak with me? Had I offended someone without realizing it? Or could it be something more?I stepped into the Alpha's residence, my gaze falling on Kate, as she struggled with a tray of used plates. For a moment, I thought she might

    ~RalphI slipped out of Otsana, quickly pulling on my pants as I crossed the room. My hand reached for the sword at my side, my eyes darting around the room, searching for the intruder.Otsana's face was pale, her eyes wide with fear. "What if someone had been spying on us all along " she whispered, her voice trembling.I pushed past the open door, scanning the hall for any sign of the intruder. There was no one in sight, the only indication of their presence the faint sound of retreating footsteps.I followed the sound, my steps quick and silent, my heart beating in my chest. But as I rounded the corner, the hallway was empty, no sign of the intruder."Show yourself," I snarled, my voice echoing through the hall. "Who dares to spy on me?"The silence that followed was deafening.I took Otsana's hand, leading her down the hall. "Come on," I said, my voice low and reassuring. "We need to get back to our quarters."Otsana nodded, her eyes still wide with fear. As we turned a corner, a c

    ~Ralph As the light faded, I saw that the hall had changed. The fighting had ceased, and all of the wolves were standing in a circle around Jasper and me, their eyes wide with wonder. Jasper lay on the floor, his body broken and bloody. He was panting, his eyes glassy with pain. "No more," he whispered, his voice hoarse and strained. "You win, Alpha Ralph. I yield." I nodded, my body still trembling from the exertion of the fight. I turned to face the crowd, my eyes sweeping over the wolves that had rallied to my side. "We have won," I said, my voice loud and clear. "Jasper has conceded defeat, and the throne is rightfully mine once more." The wolves howled in celebration, their voices rising up into the rafters. The Seer stood at my side, her eyes shining with pride. "But the fight is not over," I continued. "We must ensure that Jasper is held accountable for his crimes.
