Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 8 - Training Day...
Saturday at three o’clock in the afternoon.It’s Evie, Jolly, Sebastian, and Sander’s first time to undergo the Citadel training. The four newcomers glance at each other and at the space between them. There are supposedly five of them but still no sign of Vesper. Even after three days since her punishment, they never saw her again.Delta Dimitry facilitated the training. First is the warm-up, then almost an hour's run along the Citadel Manor premises. Jolly can no longer take it and slowly moves to Gamma Sevy, who’s running behind them."Gamma? How is she?" She asks in a soft voice."Alive!" The Gamma replied nonchalantly.Delta Dimitry then yelled, "Miss Emberville, do you want to be with Miss Miles?" Her whole body trembled as she reminisced the sound of lashes and Vesper’s whimpers."No, Sir!" She replied in fear.Emily saw her reaction and slowly moved towards her to console her and ran together till they all became breathless.After one hour of running, they start the course cons

TEN forty-five in the evening.Gamma Sevy hurriedly ran back to Vesper. His mind is racing. A series of questions were running around his brain."Why did she shriek?”“Did someone attack her?”“Is it the Omega killer?”“Should I call for backup?”“Fuck!"Breathless, he arrives at the training course only to find Vesper cowering behind a tree staring at someone in the distance. His heart was pounding hard. He’s about to howl, but when he sniffs the air, he calms himself. He smelt lilacs."Alpha Qillalon!" he yells. The man then walks towards them. Vesper steps back a little as he gets near them."Don’t be scared, Vesper," Gamma Sevy mumbles."Me telling someone else not to be scared, but I’m also terrified." Gamma Sevy thought to himself.She then lowered her head and apologized. "I’m sorry, Alpha! I was startled and I panicked." She kept her head low as she didn't want them to see her reddening face. "How can he sneak up on me like that? I almost lost it and revealed myself. I was luc

SUNDAY, ten twenty-two in the morning.While waiting for the results of the items they recovered from the three different incidents, Gertrude and Velmont stood in their room seated on opposite chairs in front of a massive file of documents and photos of the crime scene. Reviewing and analyzing the victims' details. Trying to relive what their last hours might have been."I'm tired," Velmont says as he closes his eyes and tilts his head upward."This is by far the most dead-end case we've ever tackled." She responded as she slowly slumped on the chair."Yeah! The Omega killer sure does know how to murder, gruesome but neat. Perhaps too neat. It looks as if our killer took his time to display his victim's body, but what does it all mean?" He states as he heaves deeply, conveying his distress about the situation."There's no such thing as being too neat. We still have the silk, the book, and the relic." She responded with a hint of hope in her voice."What if the killer left them deliber

Twenty-four years ago…Hercule was ten years old when he first met Gertrude Fallis. Her face never changed from then till now. Never aged a day. He could vividly remember the day he laid eyes on her…At that time, his father was the Alpha of the Penumbral Sturgeon Pack. Always busy with Citadel Pharma. Neglected to be a father to him. One day he decided to run away to know if his father would notice or even care. Unbeknownst to him, the moment he got out of their home without his father’s Deltas, he would be abducted. Given that he is young, he has no proper training yet. He was easily subdued and thrown at the back of the van like he was nothing but a mere human. He wants to transform into a wolf, but he is immediately collared and chained with silver shackles. Leaving him helpless for the duration of the journey to a secluded area in an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere.He was kept in a cellar. In a small dimly lit room. Back leaning on the pillar. All of his limbs are b

SUNDAY: Six o’clock in the evening.The Omegas have just finished their training course, and it’s time for their sparring. They are divided into two equal groups and then paired with their sparring partners.Emily and EvieVesper and JollyLestine and BenSebastian and SanderAnd so on…Delta Dimitry found the activity a bit dull since they didn’t want to hit each other, and he found it unsatisfying. He called the Omegas, and they formed a circle around him. Listening to his new instructions. Meanwhile, Gamma Sevy was busy cutting the ropes that they would use.Shortly after, Gamma Sevy handed it to them, and they tied it to their waist. Then he starts to draw a huge circle around the ground while Delta Dimitry explains the mechanics of the match.“Tonight, instead of our normal boring sparring, we’ll have a little fun. Each pair will go inside the circle drawn by Gamma Sevy. Then you’ll try to subdue your partner. The game will only end if one of you falls out of the circle, or you ge

AT THE Manor infirmary…“I thought Jolly would win. I never knew you were that strong.” Sander says as an Omega nurse bandages the wounds in his knuckles.“That throw could have been executed better, but I saw that you hesitated at the last minute. What happened?” Sebastian pointed out.“I don’t know.” She responded as another nurse tried to stop the bleeding and put numbing cream around it."It's Qillalon Van Kirk's fault. If he had not been there, none of this could have ever happened. My blood boils every time I see him. He's scent and his face is a spitting image of his father." She thought to herself.“You got distracted. I saw your eyes move in Alpha Qillalon’s direction.” Gamma Sevy says mockingly.Vesper’s hand shakes a bit.“So you have a crush on him?” Sander easily said.“No!” She yells. “Ouch!” She winced as her adrenaline rush finally wore off. She could feel the severity of her injury and it was not pleasant. “It’s not that. There were just too many people in the audience

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

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 122 - Vesper Lost Humanity
Vesper walked through the mist, her shoes made a soft crunching sound on the gravel path.The wind blew wildly, tinged with dew, but what caught her attention was the inviting aroma the air brought her way. She swiveled her head and saw it was hovering from a small roadside diner up ahead.She stopped dead in her tracks and slightly tilted her head in curiosity.She sniffed the air deeply. Her eyes dilated and her lips curled up in excitement.The smell of bacon, sausage, pancakes, and waffles. The scents swirled together in a harmony that tugged at something deep inside her, something she hadn’t felt in years.Her stomach growled. The sound startled her, raw and unfamiliar, like a ghost from a past life. Hunger. Real hunger. Not the gnawing thirst of fresh blood from still pulsating veins she’d come to know so well, the one that had made her an outsider to the simpler joys of life. This was something... different. Something human.She could feel saliva starting to build up in her mou
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 121 - The Unwilling Traitor
In Alpha Qillalon’s room…The room was dark, cloaked in a soft amber glow cast by flickering sconces on the stone walls. Dust motes swirled lazily in the stale air, disturbed by Quillion's first breath in what felt like an eternity.His eyes fluttered open, their sharp silver irises gleaming like molten steel as they adjusted to the half-light. His body felt heavy and stiff as if the days of slumber had left an echo of time in his bones. But the moment of disorientation was brief; his instincts flared to life with a sharp clarity.He pushed himself upright, his long dark hair spilling over his shoulders. The silken robes over his frame shimmered faintly with the runes woven into their fabric. His gaze swept the chamber, a silent predator assessing his domain. The room bore the mark of his legacy—tapestries of battles long past, shelves of ancient tomes, and an ornate staff resting in its cradle near the grand window. But there was one glaring absence."Qilli..." he whispered, his voic
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 120 - The Face of the Traitor
Vesper resumed her journey to her unknown destination. She’s not even sure what got into her when she asks Carmilla and Elijah to join her in the fight she's uncertain of attending. She clenched her aching chest and lowered her head. She could no longer bear the longing, “May…be… I do care for him and genuinely like him…” She whispered in the air. The coldness of the wind seemed to remind her of her lonesome life.Mindlessly she found herself in front of the saloon again. She spun around and made a beeline for the opposite side, but there was a nagging feeling in her urging her to see Baltazar one last time. She moved her feet back to the saloon’s direction as she smiled faintly. When she entered, the three young vampires were still there talking to Baltazar as if asking for more information about her.Their eyes met, and the young vampires immediately left the place. Almost stumbling on the floor, the door, and the cold pavement outside. She could hear the loud pounding of their h
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 119 - The Incoming War
In the Citadel Headquarters command center.Alpha Barkus stared at the flickering monitor, his face darkening as the last footage from the mercenary’s live camera before they got blown out by explosives played out. The feed was shaky, the view obstructed by debris and flashes of light. Then, there it was—the unmistakable silhouette of Citadel Manor, its spires piercing the night sky. The image was clear enough to make his jaw tighten.Beta Lisara, standing at his side, leaned in closer. “Citadel Manor,” she murmured, her voice low and dangerous. “They’re planning an attack, aren’t they?”Alpha Barkus’s eyes narrowed as the screen shifted, showing the maps. Arrows and marks scrawled across the image pointed directly at the manor’s defenses and weak points.“They’ve been planning this for a while,” Alpha Barkus growled. His fists clenched at his sides. “But why the Citadel manor and not the Headquarters?”Beta Lisara’s gaze hardened. “It's less guarded. No humans in sight within the mano
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 118 - The Old Ranch
The headlights of the black truck cut through the deepening dusk as Rico and his friends drove Vesper. They followed the winding dirt road to the ranch. Memories surged into her with every mile. Soon they reached the entrance of the ranch. "You can drop me on the arch," Vesper demanded with a cold, menacing voice.Rico slammed the break immediately, as he was eager to get her out of the car. She stepped out of the front passenger seat.She closed the door with great strength, and it made the whole car shake and the window glass shattered instantly.The 3 young vampires gasped in fright. They thought the car would roll down the road."Why is she so strong?" Rico asks via a mental link to his friends.Ron gulps down slowly. "Don't ask me, dude. You're the one who said we could have fun with her because she smells like a newly turned vampire. No new vampire has eyes like hers." He replied in fear. He could feel cold sweat forming on his back.While Jericho remains silent as he pees hims
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 117 - Journey to Adobe Walls, Texas
The wind carried whispers of the past, sweeping across the barren plains as Vesper continued to walk into the remnants of Adobe Walls, Texas. The town wasn’t much—a ghost of its former self—but its echoes held stories she needed to remember.It was a ghost town in the eyes of humans and the government, but now it has become a haven for vampires like her. She rummaged in her pocket, took one of the rings out, and wore it in her forefinger. It immediately altered her scent. “For protection,” she mumbled, then her attention landed on the other ring in her pocket—The ring for the mental link. One call and she knew Qillalon would be running to her like a wild beast hungry for her attention. She smiled bitterly as she hid the mental link ring. She resumed walking, her boots crunching against the gravel. The air smelled of mesquite and history, the kind of scent that clung to you like an old memory. She adjusted the brim of her hat, shielding her face from the sinking moonlight, and scann
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 116 - BeWitched
Inside Elder Mauritius’ chamber, the smell of aged parchment and burned incense is in the air. The Elder is trying to calm the chaos in his mind.But none could pacify the flickering fire inside him.The Elder sat in his cushioned office chair, his form stooped and frail, yet his piercing eyes burned with the sharpness of a man who had seen too much.Around his neck hung a necklace hidden under his thick clothing. Its delicate gold chain seemed almost alive as it glimmered faintly in the warm light, and the pendant—a beautifully decorated vial that contains concentrated nightshade mixed with vervain—looked as though it had been crafted by a master artisan. But the object held an ominous venom. A venom he prepared for Vesper in case she goes rogue.He discreetly felt the vial under his clothes, “So she’s not coming back?” He uttered his voice sounding conflicted rather than relieved. He should be happy, but knowing that they are still in the dark about the Headmaster’s plan, it's bett
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 115 - Black Ridge
In the dead of night.The fire crackled low on the hearth, casting flickering shadows across the wooden walls of Delta Sevy's room. Outside, the wind howled, but inside, Delta Sevy was trapped in the grip of a dream—a nightmare that seemed too vivid to be anything but real.It was the Troll attack again.He saw the chaos, heard the guttural roars of the Trolls, and felt the pounding of his heart as he fought to save Vesper from the troll's grasp. But this time, his dream focused more on Vesper’s subtle movements.His dream replayed how she removed her ring and her scent hit him first: rich and dark, an intoxicating mix of earth and metal, tinged with something sharp and unnatural. Then came her strength—unnatural, otherworldly. He saw her lift a Troll twice her size and hurl it like it weighed nothing. And finally, those eyes—obsidian black, as if they absorbed the moonlight instead of reflecting it.In his dream, a voice whispered through the chaos—a revelation so shocking that Delta
Alpha's Last Chance CHAPTER 114 - The Citadel Manor will burn...
The car rumbled gently along the winding country road, its headlights cutting through the thickening dusk. Raindrops began to splatter against the windshield, each one blurring the path ahead. Inside, Alpha Qillalon gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles pale against the dim glow of the dashboard. His emerald eyes, glassy and red-rimmed, stared straight ahead, unseeing. “She said she'd try…” he whispered to himself, his voice breaking in the hollow silence of the car as he remembered how she pleaded for him to let her go. The words looped in his mind, intertwining with the rhythmic swish of the windshield wipers. “She said she needed space to think.” He let out a long, trembling breath. The weight of her absence pressed against his chest like a stone. The certainty of her words still lingered in his mind, "At least take the ring with you and reach me whenever." The only thing he could utter. She took the rings and wore them. Her scent, power, and looks dialed down enorm
