Ralph
The long-awaited day of the meeting had finally arrived. I was set to claim my new breeder from the Moonlight pack, the daughter of Alpha Grayson. The Greyhound pack and the Moonlight pack had been at odds for five years after a tragic incident in which my brother was killed by a Moonlight pack guard. This event ignited a deep-seated animosity in me, fueling my desire for revenge. However, I eventually sought to establish peace through a strategic agreement with Alpha Grayson. In exchange for his daughter's hand as my breeder, I would forgive the past and end the longstanding feud. Callan!, "I called for my Beta and commander. He quickly arrived, and I gave him my orders: 'Prepare a few guards and our cars. We're leaving for the Moonlight pack soon. 'Yes, your Majesty’, Callan replied, and bowed briefly before hurrying to carry out my instructions." For years, I had been urgently searching for an heir. A witch, whose daughter I had taken as a breeder, had cursed me with a prophecy of a short life and warned that any Luna I chose would lead to my downfall. This dark prediction drove me to find a successor to ensure the Greyhound pack's throne would remain secure after I was gone. We arrived at the Moonlight Pack several hours later. As we took in our surroundings, I noted the serene atmosphere and lush woods, reminiscent of a traditional pack, a stark contrast to my own, which has little to no wooded areas. "Lovely," I muttered under my breath, nodding my head. "I love it here. What do you think, Callan?" I asked, noticing he was distracted by the beautiful young maidens hovering around the pack. "Callan!" I yelled, my eyes wide. "Compose yourself. We're not here to find you a Luna." "I'm sorry, sir," Callan replied, quickly regaining his composure, a look of fear on his face. Upon exiting the vehicle, I was greeted by several maidens who welcomed me with respect. However, I also overheard whispers among them, speculating about my intentions regarding my soon to be breeder. "Oh, poor Otsana, I really feel for her," I overheard someone whisper. "How will she cope in the hands of this cruel Alpha?" This statement prompted me to raise my brows and stare at them, compelling them to leave my sight. My guards also dispersed them as they secured the area. Although I dismissed their gossip, the name Otsana resonated deeply. It was different from the name "Sophia" that my Beta, Callan, had given me as my breeder, after he visited the Moonlight pack a few days ago. Otsana was the name of the mysterious woman who appeared in my dreams every night—the one prophesied to be my savior, my weakness, and my downfall. According to my seer, she was the only one capable of bearing me an heir. Despite years of searching for her, I had yet to find her. Thus, I chose to disregard the prophecy and pursue a breeder from another pack, hoping to secure an heir and ensure the future of the Greyhound Pack." "Could she be the one I've been searching for all these years? I don't think so," I muttered to myself, dismissing the thought. I then proceeded to make my way into the Moonlight pack house. "Hello, Alpha Ralph! What a pleasant surprise," Alpha Grayson said, walking towards me and jolting me out of my deep thought. "Are you surprised to see me? I thought I announced my arrival earlier," I replied sarcastically, confused by Alpha Grayson's remark. Alpha Grayson scoffed, "Oh, forgive my manners. A man has a lot on his mind, you wouldn't disagree," he said, a small smile creeping across his face. "I see," I replied with a sigh, taking in the environment as I walked in with my hands behind my back. "Hey, Callan," I called to my Beta, "tell the rest of the guards to wait behind. You're coming with me." "Yes, Your Majesty," Callan replied and quickly moved to carry out my orders. "Shall we?" Alpha Grayson urged. "Of course," I replied as we walked toward the pack house. Hoping to catch a glimpse of my breeder, I asked, "Where is she?" I tried to remember the name I was told a couple of days ago but had difficulties recalling it. "Please remind me of her name," I asked Alpha Grayson. "Otsana," Alpha Grayson immediately answered. "Otsana?" I murmured, feeling a bit confused. I turned to my Beta. "I thought you mentioned her name was Sophia." Callan looked equally puzzled and was about to speak when Alpha Grayson interrupted. "Here she is, my beautiful daughter, your breeder, Alpha Ralph," Alpha Grayson said, pointing at a young maiden who walked toward us with a smile on her face. "You're welcome, Your Majesty," she said gently, as she bowed to me. I was dumbfounded. She was the one. That face, that smile—I had seen them in my dreams. How could that be? I was confused, my gaze locked on her for what felt like an eternity. She stared back into my eyes as though she knew what was happening, as though she felt the same way I did. She was as beautiful as the morning sunshine, her skin radiant. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. At that moment, I found myself daydreaming about her, picturing her being crowned my Luna. Suddenly, I heard someone call out to me. "Alpha Ralph, Alpha Ralph," Alpha Grayson called, snapping me out of my daydream. "Oh, sorry, forgive me," I stammered, struggling to speak. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She had a sadness in her eyes, as though she was being forced to smile. "Otsana, you can go inside now. Go with the maids and get your things ready. The Alpha will summon you when it's time to depart," Alpha Grayson instructed her. As she was leaving, she turned back to stare at me again. "That's strange," I muttered under my breath, staring at her with a confused look. "What is happeningNothing, I," I said to my self. Suddenly, the name Sophia came to mind. I turned to Alpha Grayson to ask about the name change, but before I could speak, I felt myself dozing off. The next thing I knew, I was on the ground. Callan and the guards were calling me. "Are you okay, Your Majesty? Get him some water; he must be worn out from the journey," I heard Alpha Grayson order. But all I could see was Otsana. She was said to be my doom. Could the prophecy be happening already?Otsana I was about to leave the meeting room when I suddenly heard shouts. The Alpha had collapsed. Everything about him was unusual, especially the way he stared at me. Could we have met before? I was sure I had never seen him in my life, yet he seemed strangely familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. I couldn’t deny that he was the most handsome man I had ever seen. His eyes seemed perfectly designed for his face, his height was godlike, and his voice was commanding. Everything about him was perfect, except he was a ruthless and notorious Alpha. The finest ones always have faults. "Prepare the guest room for him and call the physician immediately!" Alpha Grayson commanded. The entire pack was in chaos, with everyone running around frantically. "What could have happened to the Alpha?" I thought to myself as I ran back to the meeting room to see if I could lend a helping hand. When I arrived, Alpha Ralph was lying helplessly on the floor, surrounded by his guards who were shield
Otsana I pushed open the door and saw Alpha Ralph, still unconscious. If he was unconscious, who had called out to me earlier? I thought to myself. Confused, I looked around the room for anyone hiding. I checked the wardrobe and noticed the window was wide open, with a breeze blowing in. Could someone have escaped through the window? I was puzzled, my hand on my jaw as I thought out loud. I stared at Alpha Ralph, who appeared to be cold. "Should I close the window?" I muttered to myself, thinking he might be feeling chilly. I reached for the window glass to close it when I heard my name again, "Otsana!" I turned quickly, scanning the room. Who had called me now? I whispered to myself. My eyes trailed to Alpha Ralph, who was still motionless and peaceful. With raised eyebrows, I hastened towards the Alpha, an inexplicable pull drawing me to his side. An overwhelming urge compelled me to take his hand, and as our palms touched, a sudden jolt of electricity coursed through me. Our mi
Ralph I was furious. My blood boiled as I watched Alpha Grayson manhandle Otsana, treating her like some sort of animal. I would not stand for this. "How dare you treat her like this?" I roared. "Release her at once, I'm taking her with me. And mind you, never set foot in my pack again, I do not wish to see your ugly, and heartless face ever again!" My attention shifted to my guards, who snapped to attention, ready to do my bidding. "Prepare the cars," I commanded. "We are leaving now." As I turned to leave, I paused and narrowed my gaze at Alpha Grayson. "I know what you did," I growled. "You switched your daughter Sophia with Otsana, your step-daughter. But I will not fight it. The moon goddess has chosen Otsana for me, let's leave it that way ." Inwardly, I seethed with rage at the betrayal. But I knew that Otsana was part of the prophecy, and I would not risk losing her. If not for the prophecy, I would've dealt with Grayson, and his entire pack members "The prophecy will be
Otsana As I stepped through the ornately carved door to my new quarters, I felt like I had been transported into a world of luxury and beauty. "Welcome, Alpha Breeder Otsana," two maids greeted me, curtsying low. "I am Nina, and this is Laila. We will be your personal attendants while you are here." The room was decorated with plush carpets and velvet drapes, with a four-poster bed that looked like it belonged in a palace. I felt a wave of astonishment wash over me. I took a moment to take it all in, my eyes roaming over the rich tapestries and ornate furniture. A pair of exotic birds fluttered in a gilded cage, chirping and trilling a haunting melody as they watched me with curious eyes. I smiled at the birds, feeling a flutter of hope in my chest. Perhaps this new life would not be so bad after all. "Alpha Breeder Otsana," Nina said, her voice filled with excitement. "Alpha Ralph has sent us this beautiful red dress for you to wear to the welcome dinner. He wants you to look yo
Ralph I paced the length of my chamber, my thoughts churning like a storm inside my head. Otsana was beautiful and charming, but the prophecy was clear. She would be my downfall. I clenched my fists, my anger rising. I wouldn't let her have the chance to kill me in my sleep. "I'll clip her feathers," I muttered to myself. "I'll turn her into a slave. She'll suffer before she can ever lift a hand against me." I marched to the door and threw it open, bellowing for my beta. "Callan!" Within moments, the loyal wolf was at my side, his eyes questioning. "Alpha Ralph, what is it?" "I want you to go to the kitchen and tell them to stop preparing for the welcome dinner," I ordered, my jaw clenched in anger. "And I want you to take Otsana out of her new quarters and put her in the slave quarters. She'll take part in the work from now on." Callan's eyes widened in surprise. "But Alpha…" I silenced Callan with a raised hand, my eyes flashing with rage. "Silence, Callan," I growled. "Un
Ralph The crowd parted, and a familiar figure stepped into the light. His hair was silver with age, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's, and his face creased with lines of wisdom and experience. It was Jasper, My elder brother, believed to have perished in the war between the Greyhound and Moonlight packs. My mouth fell open in shock, my heart racing as I tried to make sense of this impossible scene. "Jasper?" I whispered, my voice hoarse with disbelief. Jasper, dead for years, yet here he was, as real and alive as ever. My brother, my right hand, the one I had lost to that accursed war. How could this be? I could feel the gazes of the pack burning into my skin, watching and waiting for my reaction. But I was frozen, my heart in my throat, as I tried to reconcile this reality with the one I thought I knew. "Jasper," I repeated, my voice stronger now. My mind drifted to Otsana, I noticed as she collapsed to the ground, her body quaking with relief. She buried her face in her hands, wee
~RalphI downed my eighth glass of whiskey, the burn doing little to quell the anger simmering inside me. The situation at hand was infuriating, and I tried to pour myself another glass, only to realize I'd finished the bottle."Callan!" I yelled.He rushed over quickly. "Yes, Alpha?" he responded, his voice respectful but tinged with concern."Get me a new bottle of whiskey. This one is finished," I demanded.He looked at me with a mix of worry and hesitation. "Are you sure, Alpha? Not that I'm questioning your wishes, but you've already drunk an entire bottle. You have a meeting with the elders soon," he reminded me gently.I groaned at the thought of the meeting, feeling my frustration mount. "Are you defying me? You know the consequences, right? And yet, you dare to go against me?"Callan's eyes widened slightly, but he didn't back down. "No, Alpha, I would never defy you. I just thought you might want to be at your best for the meeting. But if you want more whiskey, I'll get it f
~Otsana *TWO WEEKS LATER*Everything in the pack had settled back into a routine, and it had been two weeks since Ralph last called for me. I was relieved and secretly hoped things would stay this way forever. He barely seemed to notice me these days, lost in his endless work. I often found myself bored and yearning for something to occupy my time. Being a maid was challenging, but it had its moments of camaraderie with the friends I had made.“You should get down from there, Otsana. The Alpha will be upset if he sees you up here,” Kate said, her voice filled with concern.I was lounging on the balcony, and her warning made it sound like a grave offense, but I knew she was just looking out for me and trying to keep me out of Ralph’s way.I nodded in agreement and headed back to my room, only to find a sparkling, glittery bag placed on my bed. I stared at it, puzzled about who might have left it there for me.Turning to Kate, I asked, "Who brought this bag? I don’t remember ordering a
~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.
~RalphI stumbled through the forest, my steps unsteady as I made my way back to the pack. "Otsana," I muttered, the name a whisper on my lips. "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
~RalphI woke with a start, the room coming into focus in a haze of shadow and muted light. 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. "The moon goddess must be pleased."Rage coiled through my body,
~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. "Callan," I said, turning to face my Beta. "As my Beta and my advisor, I want you to see to it that Jasper
