Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 14 - Citadel HeadQuarters
Monday, nine-thirty in the evening. Elder Mauritius called Alpha Qillalon and Alpha Zane in his study.“I called you both today because I have been summoned by the council to go to the Citadel headquarters. I need an Alpha to go with me.” He says while stirring his coffee. “I’m bringing Qillalon with me. As per you, Zane, you will facilitate everything and make sure our detective friends are well taken care of during their investigation.”Both Alpha nods.“When are we leaving, Elder?” Qillalon asks.“Later at dawn” Elder Mauritius replied casually.“I should pack my luggage then,” Qillalon answers.Mauritius nods.Soon, Qillalon bids them goodbye.“Elder, why are you bringing him with you instead of me?” Zane asked, his tone conveying dismay.“Are you questioning my decisions? Alpha?” Mauritius retorts. His voice is so powerful that the coffee in his mug trembles.“No, Elder.” Zane's tone changes and conveys a humbled demeanor.Mauritius did not want to speak to him anymore and gestur
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 15 - The Rumor Is Not True
THE NEXT DAY… Three o’clock in the afternoon. The meeting regarding voting out Elder Mauritius started. Mauritius was standing in front of the window at the other end of the 76th floor while waiting for his fellow Elder’s decision.He was staring blankly outside, then he began to speak, “I had a vision that this would happen one day, but I never imagined this would be it. I was expecting it to happen in my 80s or 90s.” His tone was filled with sorrow.“Elder, they will come to their senses and regret the idea of you losing control. Citadel Manor thrived for many years because of you.” Alpha Qillalon responded. His voice filled with certainty.“You’re a good kid, Qilli. Quillion sure is lucky to have you. If I had known you earlier I could have talked to Zane to let her go.” Alpha Qillalon’s eyes widened. His eyes are gloomier than ever.He shook his head.“No. Zane was never the issue. With or without him in the picture. We are never going to last. We simply are not meant to be toget
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 16 - Qillalon and Eleanor
Alpha Qillalon stood on the 76th floor of Citadel Headquarters floor-to-ceiling window. He is physically present, but his mind travels back to six years ago.Where the young Alpha Qillalon first set foot at the Citadel headquarters in the city center. The building is a towering 76th floor, and it's the center of the business of Citadel Pharmaceutical. He was standing outside admiring the beautiful architectural design. When suddenly a woman bumps into him. It’s a she-wolf. He could smell her scent. Strong. Alluring. Captivating.When he saw her face, it was love at first sight. The cliché, everything in slow motion, and butterflies in the stomach can’t even bring justice to what he feels. Her beauty is beyond comparison to any wolf he's seen before. Her long brown wavy hair, light brown eyes, and heart-shaped mouth are created by the moon goddess in perfection. He almost gasped when the she-wolf apologized and bowed her head to him.As if he is in a trance, he follows her inside the bu
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 17 - Qillalon and Mara
Two years after Eleanor's rejection.Qillalon attended an underground meeting as a stand-in on his father’s behalf. Deal between two organized crime groups that were held in a casino, he sat comfortably inside one of the VVIP rooms; playing poker, and drinking bourbon, surrounded by a bunch of lewd women of different sizes, colors, and shapes.He finds it boring. Waste of time. He kept on drinking his heart out while observing the obscenity of humans in front of him. Then a sweet scent caught his attention. He sniffs the air and locates its origin. It’s from the girl who entered with Henry Sansbury, the head of the organization he is about to make a deal with.Later, he was introduced to her. Her name is Mara Sansbury, Henry’s only daughter. She has short blonde hair, a pointy nose, and full lips. Her heterochromia makes her unique. Her left eye is green, and the other one is blue. She has a beautiful, contagious smile and a small physique that makes her look fragile with a scent of da
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 18 - Moving Forward
ALPHA Qillalon was brought back to his senses when he heard Elder Mauritius' voice.“Qilli, tell the Delta to prepare the cars we are heading home.”He nodded and notified the Deltas. After a few minutes, they said that the cars were ready.The journey back to the Manor was dead silence. Elder Mauritius looks exhausted and Alpha Qillalon seems gloomier now than before, heading to Citadel Headquarters. None of the wolves around their presence wants to speak.Shortly, Elder Mauritius broke the silence.“Do you remember what I told you before, Qilli?”Alpha Qillalon glanced at the Elder, who was staring outside the window looking at the city lights.“The vision?” He asks;“Yes, that this day will be the day. Well…” He paused and Qillalon held his breath patiently waiting for him to finish. “That day ain’t today.”Mauritius laughs.Alpha Qillalon heaves a sigh of relief and then grins.“The vote is zero to five. None of the other Elders wants me gone. They still need me.”“As expected, Eld
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 19 - The Relic Is A Hoax
After days of waiting.The searcher finally found a copy of the book and sent photos to Velmont.The copy is more of a replica of the original, but the owner swore that the replica is 100% the same as the original that was made in 1321.They checked all the pages and found that the relic was listed there. The golden charm is part of the sacrificial dagger they use in the ritual. Just by looking at the image in the book, the dagger does not correspond to any wound that was inflicted on any of the victims. The victim's wounds are clean-cut, but the dagger is serrated on both edges, giving it a unique marking once it is used.Based on the book, to make an offering to the goddess of youth, the ritual needs a dagger and a female sacrifice. The human sacrifice needs to lie inside a circle made of a combination of human ashes and lamb’s blood. Then, using the remaining lamb’s blood, the offeror needs to write a specific set of incantations on the human sacrifice, then the sacrifice will be st
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 20 - Eleanor in Citadel
A KNOCK disturbed Alpha Zane’s slumber and when he moved near the door a familiar scent entered his nostrils. He immediately opens the door and says:“What are you doing here?”“What kind of question is that? I’m here to visit you, my beloved husband.” Said Eleanor. As she flirtatiously moves her hands around Zane's bare chest.“You should have called me first,” he stated, his voice containing a mild annoyance. “Then it wouldn't be a surprise if I did that,” she exclaimed. She then pushed the door wider and entered the room. She felt offended at how Zane talked to her. She angrily sat on the bed. “Why are you acting as if you didn’t miss me?” She mutters, arms crossed. Glaring at him.“Of course, I miss you. I always do.” He declared and then sat beside her. Nuzzling her neck and caressing her thighs. He glanced at the clock and saw it was only four o’clock in the morning. “It’s still early, let's stay in bed.” He whispered to her ear, mischievously hinting at something dirty. “How
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 21 - How Alpha Zane met Eleanor
Almost two decades ago.Zane Carmichael and Eleanor Zalk initially met when they were ten. When Eleanor's family came to the United States, leaving their native country, Scotland, they left everything behind to start fresh, as the Zalk family got into trouble with the law in Kinsale town on the southern coast of Scotland.

She believed that everything could be achieved the right way.Though, the two went to the same school and grew up on the same streets.

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
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 90 - Delusions and Urges
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
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 89 - So, Adrian?
“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
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 88 - That Night
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
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 87 - Awaken
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
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 86 - A Mother's Warmth
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
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 85 - A Step Outside
“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
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 84 - The Black Order
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
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 83 - Inception
Vesper smiled softly. “Hey,” she said while waving at the young Qillalon. She lowered her head, unsure how to talk to a child. She clenched the hem of her shirt and crouched down to him, ”Do you know where the older version of you is?” She asked nicely.The young Qillalon shook his head in confusion and hugged his mother tighter.“I don't think you work for Quillion. Who are you?” Samara asks and starts to become defensive. She clenched the large needles she was using and glared at Vesper. Vesper raises her hand in surrender, showing them that she means no harm. “My name is Vesper Miles and you are right. I don't work for your husband.” She explains.Samara stared at her intently.Vesper understood what her gaze meant. “I’m as puzzled as you are. I’m not supposed to be here, and you are not supposed to see me. This is a memory—”Samara raised her hand, gesturing for her to stop talking.“I know where I am, and I know what this is. I am aware that I am already dead. What I am right now
