#Chapter73Third person“But you have to be away from him for- a while. You need to be reborn in the land of living, but not as a werewolf or a human. There is a great imbalance of life on one kind right now. They have lost quiet a lot of their own. It’s only right to give a few more life in return.” She says looking towards the lifeless body of a wolf. Of Alex.His destiny awaited him in another life. In another place. A half of his soul.“So, I have to be born again just to be with him?” Althea looks at her with so much hope.Destiny returns her soft gaze back to Althea and nods her head. “This time it will be different, Althea.” She raises her hand and holds it forward, towards them. A red thread wraps around Althea’s small finger and forms a long string as it reaches towards Aries, connecting with his own small finger and tightly wraps around it too.“I call it ‘the red thread of Destiny’ that connects the two pairs that is meant to be.” Destiny looks down at Althea’s finger,
#Chapter74Althea - The Female Alpha SeriesBook ThreeThe Raven - Born Of The EarthPrologue – Amara RavenYou can never blame a man for the things he has done. You can only be glad for the things that he didn’t get to do. Born into the wilderness, I have learned to survive and be at the top of food chain. I have endured enough pain that this life has to offer. Only known to the deepest darkest forest, this is Amara Raven, and this is my story.That’s what some may think of me as. An animal. And that’s what the others may believe me to be. A human. I believe that being born in the wild, I will one day be one with it. I have never really needed the company of anyone except for Aya. Because she accepted me as I was. She thought of me as one of her own. And with the bond formed between us, I became freed of my loneliness. We resided in the deepest part of the wildest forest. There I feel serenity, a sense of peace. I feel comfortable in it and it provided me with th
#Chapter75How The Raven Came To Be Known-01Once we reached the clearing, the view in front of me awed me at the same time, something in me told me that there was something so wrong with it. I could see a lot of people out in the field, man, women and Children alike. But they were all on their knees probably forced by the mans or the man like wolves that stood behind them either surrounding them in a protective barrier or imprisoning them. But I think it was the latter. As their eyes looked our way, some men on their knees started growling and tried getting up. But the men behind them forced them back down on their knees, either pushing their shoulders back down or kicking them when they tried to fight back. That confirmed that I was in fact correct. These people were forced out here. But I still didn’t know why.When we got closer to them. The man from before changed back to his human form and got dressed followed by the rest except for the wolf holding me. The man went ba
#Chapter76How The Raven Came To Be Known-02All those people who stopped struggling had their entire focus solely on me now. Their faces clear with confusion but also with fear? The wolf who was pinning me was now a few feet apart, baring its fangs at me. I had managed to push him off me. Unlike them I was standing on my two feet. To me it seemed as if I was taller than them and I stood looking down at those huge beasts. Then I looked down, I saw my legs covered in white furs. My feet elongated, strong, bones outlining the thin skin and my nails sharp as a claw.I had no time to be surprised at the turn of events as I looked around me, then all I saw was red. I could see far clearer than my human eyes did. I felt a surge of energy inside of me. And I felt a bloodthirsty Agnes begging to be free. When my eyes landed back to a pained Aya, I set her free.My feet/paws shuddered as it hit the ground. I was fast. Unbelievably fast. It held a destructive force. In no time, I was f
#Chapter77A Raven’s PromiseOvertime we stumbled upon a few rouges, here and there who decided to form a pack with us. We built few more houses, trained and hunted together. Well they did, while I played a rogue human. True to her word, Aya trained hard. She became the best fighter we had. She became fierce. She was fire. The shy, scared little girl was no more. But she could never hide from me. For me, she will always be the sweet little girl that I used to wonder the woods with, even though she was much bigger than me now. I would always make her loosen her up as much as possible because she had built a wall so high that no one could ever dare to cross. She was as much of an Alpha now as she was before. Judging by the way she acts and commands, even more so now.I was stronger with Agnes but not so much without. So, I trained myself so hard that I was physically undefeatable even in my human form. The day I learned to conceal, I masked my presence, my scent, my being, eve
#Chapter78Who Makes Amara A RavenAs I predicted, four of them decided to leave a week after and the two of them stayed for a further week before they finally thought to let us know that they too, will leave the very next day. Now all that’s left was Aya and me and the forever dark, green and cold woods. We decided that tomorrow at dawn we too will leave. Although I am very fond of these woods, I know that I cannot be selfish and keep Aya here just because I felt safe here. Someone out there was waiting for Aya and this sister of mine refuses to leave my side so for her sake, I will go out there. Aya will be eighteen in a few weeks. Cause I don’t know anything about my birth, judging by my looks and my childish behaviour, Aya decided that I was a year or so younger than her. Oh, the irony.She says there is someone that’s made for me out there too. She says that the moon goddess did not forget about me. But I know that there is no such thing as a mate or the one for me
#Chapter79Raven: A Ball of Fire? Or Earth?I discovered that I could control the nature as we struggled to build a house back then. Frustrated that even with all these powers, I could not do anything to help us, I left to relieve some tension. And Aya being Aya followed me around.Due to the limited words in my vocabulary, I don’t know why but I felt very much tempted to release it on those poor trees. Whatever wrong they had done to me. I screamed loudly and ran to punch the bark of one of the trees. I watched as a piece of it flung over and landed on the ground beside Aya who was standing with her mouth gaping wide open that even a raven could fly in. Her brown eyes became even lighter as she witnessed what unfolded in front of her eyes.As I turned back to look, a gasp escaped my mouth and I stumbled a few steps back. There, where I landed the punch on the tree, grew a lot more branches with green leaves to replace its loss. When the initial shock left me, I slowly took t
#Chapter80Raven On Her JourneyThe man or the wolf she just pushed away, grabbed her injured arm and hauled her up. Her weak legs dangled with no strength to keep herself up. She winced in pain and tried to yank her arm off. She could have succeeded had the red eyed man not grabbed her by the other arm and the man with blue eyes not pulled her head back by grabbing a handful of her hair. She let out a snarl. Not a painful one but one filled with a promise to kill them all, if she got a chance.The werewolf whose back was still facing us, slowly took calculating steps towards them until he was directly in front of her. “You leave us no choice sweetheart. Oh, how I wanted to taste that vicious lips of yours, just once.” He held his hand to feel her lips on his fingertips. But once his fingers were close to her lips, she snapped her mouth, almost biting his fingers off.He laughed. “Feisty, are we? I would have loved to taste you.” He moves closer to her ear to whisper. But she
#Chapter237Forged (4) (Special)Aries BlackwoodLike a magnet pulled by its other half, I walk towards her. “This is where she offered herself to save your soul. You didn’t even know her, yet she was so keen on being with you. I had asked her why she was so willing to love someone that doesn’t even know her existence?” Then she looks at me with a sad smile on her face. “You know what her answer was?”I shake my head, my eyes still on hers as I try to control these emotions wanting to pour out of me once again. “She told me she could hear your soul. That she could understand your heart. Said she would womb your sin and find a place where you both can be together in this loop of infinity.She was willing to sacrifice herself just to hear you laugh. I warned her. But my daughter is too stubborn for her own good.” She too shakes her head and chuckles softly. “I told her that just because she wants to be with you, doesn’t mean that you too would want the same. And you know what sh
#Chapter236Forged (3) (Special)Aries BlackwoodI open my eyes to the darkness.Pitch black darkness was all I could see. And I doubt if my eyes were even open at this point.But then I see something glimmer distance away and so I reach towards my only source of light which guided me to a land, painted in red, soaked in blood. Piles and piles of dead bodies covered the entirety of the land and there he stood, a boy with a sword pierced right through his heart.He holds his ground until no heart beats the land. Then he too falls on his knees. Swinging his sword up and onto the ground, he holds his wounded body upright as if proving the land that he was invincible even in death.And as something in that blood-soaked golden hair spurs my curiosity, I inch closer towards him, studying the lines of his equally bloodied face but his piercing blue eyes stops me from going any closer. For I see a replica of my own eyes. For I see myself in him. Baffled at the image of my younger se
#Chapter235Forged (2)Althea SilvermoonA group of rogues that wished to live in a pack again.With no place to return, no place to call home, they had chosen to remain on this barren land until their bare bone was the only proof that they once lived. And as my father’s words chanted itself over my head for the uncountable time, I had healed the hurt and guided them home as promised. Maybe that’s the reason they could bear to be with me. For they only saw me as their saviour and nothing more.I sigh softly as I feel the warmth of the flames. The only proof that I lived was the light rise and fall of my chest. Although alert, the only melody I was interested in listening to was the soft crackling of the wood as it sacrificed itself and burned into ashes.Thump.All of a sudden, I hear my heart thump loudly.Once. Just once.But it was enough to break me out of my empty thoughts. Lifting my chin higher, I place my palm over my heart to feel that lost sense once more. Sadly,
#Chapter234Forged (1)Althea SilvermoonMy feet digs deeper into the scorching golden sand as I make my way further into the land of dunes. The sun sits hot on the crown of my head, and my forehead beading with sweats, trickles down, dampening the white cloth covering my eyes as I advance further into the land with no direction. With no aim.I don’t know how long or how far I had travelled. I have passed through lands, crossed the ocean. I have even travelled across the universe with Alex always by my side. The essence of my life now engraved on the entirety of the vast universe.Had it been a century? A millennium? Or had it only just been years?I look up to the sky, feeling the sun hard against my face and I exhale tiredly.I don’t know. I don’t know anything anymore.The only thing that I knew was that I was once again back on this deserted land, occupied only with silence and the occasional howling of the wind. But my soulless body preferred its silent words anyways
#Chapter233Free (Special)Third personShe sits frozen still while the rest of the world moves on. Chaos finally gone along with both darkness and happiness. The land sits silent, too quiet to be called alive. And when everyone thinks that she will never come out of her grief, she stands herself tall, although tiredness evoking of her, she moves even though forced.With face as empty as her heart, she carries herself forward, towards the edge of land and Alex comes forth from her shadows. Taking her in the strong hold of his arms, he descends, wings spread wide, down to the land where flowers bloomed beautifully all around. And when he lands, Althea moves out of his hold, her eyes solely to the front as she gracefully glides through the narrow path. Ignoring all eyes on her, she continues to move forward to where her mother sleeps within that vast tree, her pale skin now as white as the snow covering the mountains. She stands before her mother and the man, she once loved as
#Chapter232The goddess of life (2)Third personShe whispers the name of mate as pain becomes too much for her to bear and in a silver flash, appears a man, wrapping his arm around her defeated shoulders, holding her tall. And with a swing of his arm, he dismisses the darkness floating the land, as if it was nothing but a heavy mist.He stands dressed in white and like the goddess, he too holds the brilliance of heaven, the halo in his silver hair, and supremacy on his silver eyes. But those silver orbs remain on the girl, searching for the light, the innocence she once radiated with.He had failed to protect his little girl, one whom he loved before heaven.“My sweet, little Althea.” But Althea looks back with hard eyes, blaming him for her loss as she pulls Aries tighter in her arms, in fear that he too was against her being with Aries. “What has this world done to you, my little Althea?”She keeps her glare on him even though, Randolph, her father, held the softest gaze of
#Chapter231The goddess of life (1)Third personShe lowers her head a little. And finally, the Lycans and wolves could see the light in her eyes that now shines through the world, as those silvers torches the darkness around.But on the other hand, her coal back eyes become one with the so-called darkness. Hatred, it holds all. Slowly making the silver dull which only holds the pain, the sadness. It grieves its loss and gradually the light in them too starts to fade along.“I will destroy this land that does not hold your breath. I refuse to reside in a universe that does not accept your heart. And I will never ascend to heaven that does not house your soul.” Gruesome words roar throughout the land as the war halts, as if time froze still petrified of the rise of the dark goddess. One by one, the creatures starts to dissipate as the darkness touches its core. Until there was none that lived apart from the man called Vyncent. Staggering on his feet, he moves forward, wounds
#Chapter230The dark goddess (2)Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonThe wind blows hard as a loud roar echoes the field. A divine beast soars through the blue sky with his silver wings, beating on his back. The girl chuckles softy as she looks upon the beast and stretches her arm forward. And he lands inches away from her and strides with power, his marvellous wings spread high, until his furry head touches the small palm of the girl. “Would you like to join me on this journey, Alex?”He grunts softly while nudging his furry face against the palm of her hand, making a sweet giggle erupt out of the girl. The goddess walks towards them with a small smile on her face now as she looks at them both. Then her eyes shift on the silver of his wings and she steps forward. Gently stroking the soft feathers, she seems to be deep in thoughts. “I better prepare for the worst then. Who knows when you might need some kind of harmony in your life? I’m sorry to burden you with such weight,
#Chapter229The dark goddess (1)Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonThen I hear the loudest roar of all, every other feeling in the air dull compared to it. I sit numb as I look up at the sky, but my vision far from it. My pitiful lips torn apart, pulled away from one another. It was me. My grief. Echoing to the heavens.Then I’m pulled into a land, heavily filled with green, blooming beautifully with tulips that stretched beyond, meeting the peaceful blue horizon. Then I see a girl dressed in white, her perfectly sliver hair blending into the pureness that she exuded. She sits on her knees as she hovers over the pond. Hesitantly, I move forward, pulled by the curiosity that held the girl’s keen eyes tightly to the pond. I stand just behind her and look over her shoulder at the clear colourless water. But instead of both our reflections, I see a man. One that looks very much like Aries with his golden hair now shorter, trimmed and his face void of the light stubbles. He loo
