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 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
