Hey readers,
This story is my first werewolf book. It might be underwhelming to most of you as this is an experimental novel. (I'm trying to widen my writing genres).
Any suggestions, or comments, will be helpful.
Thank you for staying and understanding.
Lot's of Love,
Latton Ripley
NOTES:
~ If you notice when the Alphas are talking to each other, they call each other by name. It is because they see themselves as equal.
~ Velmont and Gertrude don’t use the word Alpha (or any rank) unless they are calling them with sarcasm. It is because they are not part of the pack (not wolves).
~ Meanwhile, Vesper, even though she’s a Vampire, needs to call them Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Gamma because she’s undercover as an Omega. On the other hand, when she’s alone or with the detectives, she addresses them by name.
P.S
***DON'T FORGET TO ADD THE STORY TO YOUR LIBRARY, #Comment #Like #SUPPORT #VesperMiles #QillalonVanKirk Feel free to check my other stories here: Hey, Stranger! & Goodbye My LoveElder Mauritius did not stay to observe the after-party. He returns to his room the moment Gertrude excuses herself.He could feel his friend was hiding something from him but didn’t want to ask her as he was well aware of how Gertrude and Velmont worked, as he too once worked with them.Despite that, the feeling of being an outsider in their friend group still took a toll on him. He feels like they no longer trust him like before.When he got to his room, he moved the small statue on his desk and a part of his desk drawer came loose.He opens it and there’s a small vault. He entered his code and inside there was a small glass vial in the shape of a capsule. Inside it is a dark-concentrated liquid consisting of Vervain mixed with Nightshade. Two deadly plants that could burn, poison, and kill a Vampire. “I never knew this vial would see the light of day,” he said to himself as he took it and wore it as a necklace around his neck. CONCURRENTLY…In Qillalon’s room.Vesper and Qillalon
Vesper stared at Qillalon in mischief. He swallowed slowly, “Why are you looking at me like that?” He asks curiously while guessing what’s on her mind. She smiled playfully, “Nothing… just a weird thought I had in my mind.” She uttered. “Now, I'm curious what is it?” He insists. She shook her head, “Forget it.” She remarks. He smirked and had no plans of letting it go. He pinned her down to the bed and started tickling her. She began laughing and her eyes well up with tears. “Oh.” She giggles uncontrollably. “Oh, okay. You won, I’m going to tell you.” She voiced out while raising her hands in defeat. “I’m listening,” he said as he held her hands above her head. “Is it possible for you to shift parts of your body?” She questioned with all curiosity. He furrowed his brows in confusion, “What do you mean?” “Your ears. Can you change them into wolf's ears while your face and body stay the same?” She asks seriously. He was flabbergasted. His face turned red, “I don’t think s
Vesper stayed all night inside the detective's chamber with Mauritius as they completed their list and evaluated all the possible views of the case.“So this is the best we could do? Find people we trust instead of locating the traitor?” Vesper voiced out.“Better than nothing,” Velmont pointed out.She scoffed, “When are you planning to let them know?” She asks in concern.Mauritius laughed mockingly, “Why are you afraid Qillalon would hate you?” He stated while crossing his arms. She glared at him. “Shut up, you old man.” She clamored in annoyance. Deep down, he was right. She was scared of losing her mate even though the wolf mating and rejection rules didn’t apply to her, or even if he was the son of the man who abandoned her. She grew fond of Qillalon.She stared at her ring. “It's probably for the best, right?” She asked herself.Gertrude grunted, her head throbbing in pain. She used her magic in the room for too long and hasn’t slept enough.“Stop this quarreling, would you.” S
It was ten in the morning when Alpha Mercimer sent a mental link message to Alpha Qillalon.“Is Vesper with you?” He asks in an angry voice.Alpha Qillalon ignored him as his attention was somewhere else. He had been biting on Vesper’s collarbone and drinking her blood. A punishment that he decided on a whim. He is planning to weaken her till she needs to feed again. He is aware that she needs blood to regain his full strength. When she does, he will prevent her from feeding till she begs and then he will force her to tell him everything. She could sense that his dismay and rage towards her had slightly dissipated. “Too much… You're taking too much…” She says in a pleading voice. She’s fighting the urge to defy him. Her eyes slowly changed to black while her fangs were already out ready to bite him back. “No, stop! You deserve this. Let him do his thing…” She said to herself as she resisted the desire to bite back.He wipes his mouth, “Mercimer asks if you're with me. What did you
When Qillalon, Mercimer, and Vesper arrived, Elder Mauritius, Gertrude, Velmont, Cain, Hercule, Zane, and Eleanor were already seated in the circular conference room.Eleanor was discreetly smiling triumphantly. Anticipating that at any moment, Vesper would be exiled to the Citadel, and her demeanor didn't go unnoticed by Zane. He knew she had done something last night but was unsure what it was. “Sit down.” Elder Mauritius growled dominantly, “Except you!” He added while pointing to Vesper.She sighed, then crossed her arms. She's clearly not impressed by how they handle things.In the meantime, Velmont and Gertrude remained silent and let Mauritius continue.Mercimer and Qillalon sat beside their fellow Alphas. Qillalon can’t help but to glance at Vesper, afraid that his mate might be exiled out of the Citadel. He wanted to speak and fight for her even though deep down he knew she had lied to him multiple times. He could look past it as she was his fated mate.He opened his mouth t
The moment the meeting ends, Alpha Qillalon hurriedly runs to the last known sighting of Wendigo to look for Vesper. He doesn’t want to waste any more time. He wants to know the truth about her. He shifts to his wolf form and runs into the vast forest.Meanwhile…Elder Mauritius spoke privately to Alpha Mercimer.“I’m letting you help with this fight against the Black Order, but that doesn’t mean I’ll let your actions go unpunished. You assaulted those girls—”"— Elder, I did not hurt them…” Alpha Mercimer intervenes.Elder Mauritius glared at him viciously for interrupting while he was talking.Alpha Mercimer’s face turned pale. His hands sweat as they tremble in fear. “I didn’t mean to intervene. I’m sorry, Elder,” he expresses as he bows his head.Elder Mauritius hit Alpha Mercimer lightly in the head. “Unshit yourself, boy. Do you know that Vesper asked me for your head, and I am this close to giving it to her.” He exclaimed while motioning to Alpha Mercimer how his patience was a
Alpha Qillalon continued with his journey in the forest. His movements were rash, swift, and clouded with mixed emotions.There was a burning intensity that resonated deeply with him, a pressing feeling inside him that ached at the idea that Vesper only used him. With that in mind, he began to consider that what he felt towards her might be the result of her ploy, and being his fated mate was just a coincidence.CONCURRENTLY…Alpha Zane stood in front of Elder Mauritius as he gave his report to him.“Are you sure about this, Zane? Isn't there anything that could be done?” Elder Mauritius asks in concerned as he can see the agony in Zane's eyes.Zane furrowed his brows, “She remained silent after I set her free. She had no questions about the divorce papers. I’ll take her silence as a sign of agreement.” He answered in pain. Elder Mauritius sighed and patted his nephew's back. “How are you feeling?” He asked in concern.Zane lowered his head and stared blankly at the floor, “I’m okay,
Vesper’s eyes widened in surprise at how scary an Alpha could be if they were in full fight mode. “So that is how strong he is…” She said to herself while following their moves.She could see the fear in the Wendigo’s eyes, a rare sight to witness.The Wendigo tried to outrun Qillalon, but it couldn’t.Qillalon was fast approaching and in one swift motion, he grabbed the Wendigo by the head using his sharp claws, forcing it to tumble off the ground.From there Qillalon continued to pound at it mercilessly. Its blood gushed out and splattered all around the trees, soaking the Alpha’s black fur, and adding a whole new level of terror to his beastly features.Qillalon stomped on its chest, neck, and head as if the Wendigo were just a toy. Its sharp antler-like horns were no match for Qillalon’s 10-foot pile of beastly furred muscle. The Wendigo tried to sink in its teeth and claws, but the Alpha’s thick fur and hardened muscles prevented its sharp fangs and nails from digging into his
The next day…Gertrude continued to accompany Alpha Hercule from his chamber to the digital room, as Vesper needed to rest from last night's shameful event.Recollecting the incident from last night, Gertrude’s cheeks turned red like a ripe tomato, and she couldn’t stop smiling. Alpha Hercule noticed it immediately.He blushed seeing the charming reaction on the witch’s face. He glimpsed away trying his best to hide his admiration.He puts his hand in his pocket and starts whistling, keeping his mind off her gorgeous smile. Clueless to his feelings, she began humming to the melody of his whistle.He almost chokes at her actions.The Alpha could no longer hide his admiration and suddenly blurted out, “You… are so beautiful when you smile.” His face turned scarlet in shame, surprised by his abrupt statement.He opened his mouth but couldn’t form any more words. He lowered his head in embarrassment, wishing that the floor would drop under him.Gertrude giggled at his reaction, not thin
Pennsylvania…Jacques wanted to keep the incident that happened to Eleanor a secret from the headmaster, but before he could even come up with a lie, the headmaster saw through him.“What’s the issue this time?” He said, his voice was weak. Despite that, there was a menacing tone to it that Jacques understood immediately that he must tell the truth.Hearing no response from Jacques, the headmaster got angry, “Didn’t you hear me, boy?” He said with an annoyed voice.Cold sweat formed on Jacques's forehead, and he swallowed slowly, “It’s our pawn, Eleanor. She went inside Alpha Qillalon’s rooms to create a ruckus between him and his mate.”The headmaster’s brows furrowed. “The wolf from the rare bloodline. Because of this illness, I almost forgot about him.” He said to himself.“Make sure to keep the pawns aligned. Our main goal is to enter the digital room and get a copy of their research. Once I’m healed, we’ll take over everything they have.” He exclaimed raspily.The idea got him so
Vesper and Qillalon are caught in the moment when suddenly they hear a gut-wrenching shriek. Startling them both. They are so preoccupied with their lustful encounter that they never notice there’s another person in the dimly lit room.Qillalon and Vesper slowly moved to the bed and their eyes widened in surprise when they saw Eleanor lying naked on the bed.“What are you doing? How could you cheat on me, Qilli? After all, I’ve sacrificed to convince Zane to let me go.” Eleanor yelled in disdain, acting as if she'd been wronged. She started crying, “Didn’t you like our intercourse earlier? That you need to take this poor excuse of a human.” She clamored deliriously, trying her best to sow discord between Vesper and Qillalon.Clueless that the two were together almost 100% of the time.Qillalon’s lips quivered in confusion and an undeniable tension was in the air.“What the fuck?” These were the only words Vesper could utter as her eyes moved around Eleanor’s body and saw marks on he
“So Adrian?” A familiar voice muttered. Vesper spun around. Her eyes widened in shock, she didn't notice him approaching, “Hey, huh? You’re awake.” She uttered in surprise. He nodded with a grin on his lips.Soon, he handed her the ring back and began talking via a mental link.“How did you find me?” She asks curiously.“I have a mate radar.” He commented playfully.She smiled, seeing that he was as happy as before and the color on his face was back to normal."I tried calling you via mental link only to hear my father on the other line.” He said.She laughs, “That’s awkward.”“It is,” he replied merrily.“Gertrude gave my ring to him while we were asleep,” she explains.He glanced away and asked her again awkwardly, “Sooo… Adrian is your first love?”She shrugged, “I guess. He is this really nice boy. The first time I laid eyes on him. I felt that I could do good. The innocence he brought is just—”She hasn't finished his sentence when he suddenly silences her with kisses out of jea
Eleanor knocks on Qillalon’s door multiple times but no one answers. “Where are you?” She asks herself as she switches on her wolf senses, trying to locate him but to no avail. His scent had already scattered in the air. She soon opens a mental link to speak to Alpha Mercimer, who tells her that Qillalon was sent on a mission. She heaves a sigh of relief thinking that Vesper is not with him. She swiveled around the hallway when she was sure no one was watching. She pried open Qillalon’s door and entered it. She inhaled his scent in his room and lay on his bed. She hugged his pillows and nestled herself in his blanket, savoring every aroma he had left. Imagine the old days when she slept in his arms. His warm body touched her skin and his contagious smile with his perfect white teeth. She smiled from ear to ear, but her happiness soon ended when she caught another scent in the room. Her face slowly contorted in an unusual way. Her face was disfigured with a conflicting distortion
Delta Selene was tossing and turning in the bed. The black shadow she saw looming around Eleanor was keeping her wide awake. “What I saw was real, right?” She asks herself as she stares blankly at the ceiling. Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest. Nervous for a reason she couldn't explain. She starts biting her nails in unease as cold sweats form on her forehead. The nagging feeling is howling inside her waiting to be let out.She was so immersed in her thoughts that she got up from bed and started pacing in the room when suddenly the nightstand lampshade was switched on, startling her immediately that she almost stumbled onto the floor. She'd been thinking too much, forgetting that her mate was inside the room with her, and she had just disturbed his slumber.“Selene, it's one in the morning. Go back to sleep.” Alpha Cain suggested. His voice is dry and raspy, and he is obviously half asleep. She sighed deeply and sat on the bed, hands clenched in puzzlement. Alpha Cain no
In a distant facility in Pennsylvania...As per request, Jacques stayed in the room as the Headmaster wanted to hear the real-time updates.“Headmaster, our little pawn is now part of Hercule Perrimont’s pack,” he declared happily.Planning how he will get back to Quillion and Mauritius once he gets a hold of the research for the regenerating medicine that will bring him back to his younger self, vowing to his fallen comrades that he will finish the job they started. "We annihilated the council of Vampires and all the old blood. We only need to kill the Elders and the Mafia lord," he said to himself while staring at the photo on his nightstand showing a group of young men and women in military uniform holding high-caliber guns while a white wolf was lying dead in front of them.The beeping and buzzing sound of the machines chimes with syncing glee, “Finally, good news after all the failed attempts you tried.” The headmaster says with a faint smile on his face.Jacques couldn't help bu
“I want to stay here a little longer but…” Vesper lowered her gaze to the sleeping young Qillalon on the sofa, “The Qillalon I know needs help.”“You’re stepping out?” Samara asks.Vesper nodded, “But before that, I need to speak to Lazarus and I need your help to test something…” She let her words linger.Without a shadow of a doubt, Samara agreed. With that, Vesper made her way to the guest room where Lazarus was patiently waiting for her.CONCURRENTLY…In Citadel Manor…The recently corrupted Eleanor headed to Elder Mauritius's room.She knocks on the door and the Elder lets her in.She bowed her head to the Elder, acting as if nothing was wrong with her. “What do you need, Eleanor?” The Elder asks.“I want to be part of the Citadel again.” She said as she slowly knelt in front of the Elder.Elder Mauritius squinted his eyes, observing her movements, trying to guess what she was up to.“I must say you are a strong wolf, no doubt, but…” He sighed deeply, “You’ve done too much ruckus
In a distant facility in the heart of Pennsylvania.Jacques, a young high-level wizard, hastily ran to the headmaster's quarters with a jovial, menacing grin on his lips. “In your face Gertrude Fallis,” he mumbled to himself.The tussle of his long black robe dances in sync with his movements. His mid-length black hair was braided in a French style, making him appear relaxed and friendly, but deep inside his blue eyes, he couldn't hide the pressure, the sleepless nights, and the uneasiness he'd been feeling recently.But not today—today is different. His magic finally possessed someone useful.After months of failed attempts to shake the Citadel manor, he finally has a break.He knocked on the headmaster’s door, and he was soon permitted to enter.Inside the chamber is a well-equipped medical room filled with machines that are usually present in the hospital.The buzzing apparatus, IV drips, and monitor all surround the lavish bed in the middle of the room.“What brings you here at thi
