BEFORE SEBASTIAN'S ARRIVAL RALPHAshina mapped out a plan for me. I doubted it, but I would never doubt my sister. She has the best brain when it comes to finalizing a rough plan. I agreed to do exactly as she told me to do.Going in and out of the pack to confirm things would be quite tedious, but I have to try, if not for anyone, for my pack members.My pack members have suffered enough. I knew I wasn’t entirely right when I left them all alone. It provided a loophole for my Beta to slip in.Personally, I feel betrayed when I saw Adrian trying to take over my pack as the next Alpha, which would probably happen in less than two weeks. How could he think of that as the solution?Adrian has been with me since childhood and had always followed me around. He was competent and worthy, that was why I made him my Beta, aside from the fact that his family always had the Beta title.I couldn’t believe he would stab me in the back. He didn’t even try to find me at all. All he did next after I
RALPHAs soon as the alarm was raised about them seeing me, I broke off on a run. I was already recognized as Alpha Ralph, the one they have been searching for all along for several days.That was the only thing that came to my head, the only thing that occurred to me, it was to run away from all of them. They seek to kill me so if I wasn’t ready to die yet, I would try to escape.The guard’s uniform was still on me but that didn’t stop the other guards we met outside from chasing after me. Thinking about it in a rush, I suddenly made a U-turn as I decided not to go through the main entrance gate.I opened the small gate that was just a few meters from where the entrance gate was and I ran into the woods. The woods would be the perfect place for me to run to as I cannot go through those guards right now.I would have gone back to my family through the dungeon area, but I knew better than to go back in there. If I did, I would be putting my family in danger. I would be exposing them an
BRIAN I didn’t want to be awake because I felt reluctant to do so. My body was weak. My mind was too exhausted. My bones were too heavy to gather around strength so I could sit up which was unbelievably weird. This situation has never happened before. I have never been this tired in my entire life; all my limbs and body feel greatly weak as though I was almost beaten to death last night. It aches all through. I rolled over to the side as I tried to open my eyes. I closed them again, thinking about the sunlight that was going to hit my heavy lids, which will cause a pain throughout my body — and that was the last thing I needed right now. Finally, I was able to open my eyes. I looked around the room with heaviness and I sighed. How did I get here? I tried to stand up, to lift my body up, but something weighed me down. It was Sierra. She was laying on my chest and had just woken up too. I thought I was dreaming as I watched her smiling down at me. My eyes traveled down and I di
AURORAI couldn’t help but worry about Ralph. Would he be back soon? Because it had already been a few hours and there have not been any sign of him returning.Fear was starting to radiate in my heart. What if something had happened out there? What if the plan didn’t fall into place? What if something was holding him up? What if he had been apprehended? What if he had been killed?I almost slapped my forehead to stop myself from worrying and to stop these questions from roaming about in my head. This time, it wasn’t because of Jasper, as I had claimed earlier.I was simply worried about him. What if the disguise Ashina had given to him failed along the way? What if he needs our help somehow?Ashina was sitting in one corner of the room, either eating her nails or maybe filing them. I couldn’t really tell why she was doing at that corner, but it didn’t seem like she was worried at all.Wasn’t she supposed to be worried about her brother? His life was in danger out there. If I had known
AURORA“You must be Liana’s daughter.” The voice sounded unfamiliar, but I was sure it was that of a female.How could she mind link me? How did she find me as Liana’s daughter? So many questions roamed in my mind that I completely forgot the person was still on the mind link.“Who are you? How did you find me?” I asked.Ashina looked at me, probably wondering who I was talking to. She must be thinking it was Ralph, whereas it wasn’t.I couldn’t recognize the person’s voice; maybe she was from one of our distant family, a friend, or something. The voice couldn’t register who the owner was in my head.Just as I asked the lady the question about who she was, I felt the link snap. It was abruptly broken. Why did it suddenly break? The person who reached to me now might be trying to reconnect the link again.Suddenly, I felt my heart snap right after the link was broken. I winced and opened my closed eyes as I thought I was already dead. My heart began to ache terribly, as if it had been
RALPHDinner time was over. The family were still chatting in the living room until their daughter said she was feeling sleepy. Her grandmother took her by the hand to her room, probably sing her some songs or read her some bed time stories before she sleeps off.“Do not mind our cooking as it is not the same as Royal food but I hope you enjoyed it, Alpha.” The guard apologized and I chuckled.“It is more delicious than all I have ever eaten that was served by maids. I appreciate it.” I thanked her and she gave me a smile.They had ascended the stairs while the guard’s wife cleared the dining table. She took all the dishes into their small kitchen and began to wash them. After some minutes, she came back to the dining to pick up a hand towel.The house went silent again until his wife brought a small box which contained some clean up equipment. “Let’s clean you up, Alpha.” His wife sat on another available chair and dragged it towards me.“What made you wounded?” She asked without loo
RALPHThe moment I saw Aurora about to be checked, right in line, my heart skipped a beat. Why would she be so silly to come out here when she knows what is at stake? I understand that it was a duty to save whoever she wants to save, but it is very risky.Literally, I was panicking. I couldn’t possibly wait for what was going to happen. If Aurora is caught, she will be apprehended and probably killed. She might even be held as a leverage against me, to bring me out of my hiding place, which was going to ruin everything.I can’t let them win this time. They are already all over my pack and ready to take over everything I have worked hard for. They have poisoned the mind of my pack members, and Adrian is now their ruler even if he isn’t crowned Alpha yet.I was ready to shift and defend my mate. She mustn’t be caught, and if she is caught anytime from now, I will use my Alpha voice to bring them down. Within those few minutes, I will take the both of us out of here.Surprisingly, Aurora
AURORAA trance or a vision, I wasn’t sure. All I knew was I suddenly went blank and I was thrown into a place where I saw the young lady in the midst of wolves.I didn’t know how I knew. All I knew was she was the one who sent a mind link earlier that suddenly got broken. Was it because she was distracted when the wolves came that made the mind link break off?The lady must have been scared when she saw those wolves. Ashina said there must be other blue bloods out there, which meant the lady might also be a blue blood. I didn’t doubt that it might be true.Was it because of her I felt that excruciating pain? I wasn’t sure. It might be because of the vision I had. Maybe I am required to help her because those wolves didn’t look friendly. At the slightest chance, they get, they are going to tear her apart.Ever since I came out of the vision back to reality, I haven’t been myself. My entire body was functioning perfectly normal, but it looked like I wasn’t in control of it. What was ha
Aurora I watched the faces of the crowd go pale as they saw her head drop to a side and everywhere erupted in chaos as someone shouted. "A dead Alpha!" People stood to leave in a rush knowing the meaning of the very clear statement yet I watched closely. I knew they would come for her.The chaos and noise woke her from her slumber.It took her a while to adjust her eyes to the light but she eventually did and looked around frantically. I had let her sit freely without binding her to the chair so she could lead me to my target. 'Where is he?' I was in her head not as a mind link but as a torment perks of being the blue blood leader actually, I could invade their heads and get them to do my bidding but I rarely used my powers out of courtesy. This was one of the rare occasions. She held her head as if to silence my voice and jumped to her feet. On seeing this most people paused seeing she was alive."She's alive!" Cheers erupted so the ceremony could continue. "Please mount the podi
AuroraHe refused to tell me his name but I wasn’t interested in it, I was more interested in how he was able to numb his scent. "I don't know you, you have the wrong person." He said getting down from the bed to leave."Don't force me to get the information from you because I can and I bet you already know who I am." I stopped him."Just leave me the fuck alone. I said I'm not who you think I am."He was getting agitated, maybe he thought I was pulling his legs and trying to frame him like they had done his mum before he suddenly went missing. "Liar." I lifted his shirt to reveal the mark of my mother's bloodline .I had the same matk in the same spot."Do you still have anything to say for yourself?" I asked when he didn't deny further."What do you want from me? My past is buried." He looked sad and lost. I threw my hand around him and hugged him.He was much older than me but he had suffered a lot and I heard the stories growing up and only got to spend a few years with him durin
AuroraI had less than twenty four hours to either get it right or get it wrong, I realized my heart wasn't beating irregularly because I knew I was in full control yet still I wasn't ready for the worst to come."What are you going to do with her?" Connie asked me as she and Lyon watched the unconscious Zendaya lie in state."Wait, I'll wait for her to come around and snitch on us." I said actually meaning it.I needed her to regain consciousness and call for back up. I was going to end it all where it began. "Then?" Lyon was quite curious."Then the party begins." I told them"Alright now you're beginning to sound exactly as the Alpha would and that's wierd as fuck." Lyon cringed and I laughed but my heart was sad, I hoped the news got to him as well and he made an effort to come see for himself. "Do you think he'll come?" I asked none of them in particular. "I can't say for sure that the news will get to him given that he is not in his pack." Lyon shrugged. He was right, Ralph w
*Ralph*"I am least interested, my response is not changing. His nose flared and his breathing became labored. He looked different and I didn't push my luck since I was unaware of his abilities and dis.What had he done to himself?He had created a monster of himself with no remorse, he had definitely given more to his wolf side with the way he behaved animalistically on impulse. He was also cautious not to start the war first and I suspected that he still wasn't confident enough in his fortification. No matter the elements including magic, an Alpha remained an Alpha with the blessings of the goddess and several different other gifts. I needed to find Aurora and rescue Lyon, those were the most important things to me at the time. I returned with Kristen to where Brian held up with the rest after getting Annora to safety and I realized why Adrian was playing safe,He was already quite outnumbered seeing that we had two Alphas on our side.Completely exhausted I tried to communicate wi
AuroraIt took a while, lots of effort and all what not to get things out of Zendaya and surprisingly she had still not given me the answers I wanted.She had only given a silly condition for a bargain and I thought it quite fair."Just kill me because my tongue swore an oat not to disclose that information so I wont." She had boldly said that when I plucked her tooth one after the other with a plier and got my alibi to pull out her nails one after the other.A beautiful feel of satisfaction I got watching her writhe in pain but it wasn't exactly enough for me.Seeing the lifeless body of father had definitely brought a chill to my spine and blood, I had become cold hearted towards the parties involved and all I wanted to know was who was in charge.After much operations, Zendaya had offered to take us to the location. "Do you think we can trust her?" Connie asked me when I told her we were going to return to ny dad's pack and recover the seat of power since it was still vacant. Conn
RalphIt was like a movie where you watched lovers tear at each other's throats but what did I care?Adrian laid his bed and he was going to lie in it. Hopefully he was going to rest in peace with his father.I watched the tournament and observed Adrian's strength and weaknesses. He healed very fast, his speed was primal too and his attacks very accurate.Definitely, something had happened to him and I could see that he wasn't even fighting Kylie, he was just defending himself and pushing her away so he didn't hurt her until she found the dagger again."Good girl," I muttered as I saw her hand swing very fast before he could notice to stab him from the back as he laid on her trying to subdue her with his huge frame and weight.Like I said, his speed had greatly improved and in a split second, he rolled off her when he finally saw the dagger.I saw the look of shock on Kylie's face when his weight was lifted off her but she was already in full motion and she couldn't stop herself."Kyl
Adrian"I'm sorry." Kylie mouthed.I saw everything I stood for and fought for, fall to the ground but I couldn't rush in and pull out the stake to start treatment for him.It was a bloody scene, my Dad was still not close enough for me to trespass. I felt my head become light."Kylie why?" I felt a hand squeeze my heart tight that she of all people would betray me this much."Oh common, he's a prisoner charged with treason with a death penalty hanging over his head all this while. He was bound to die sooner or later." Ralph said smiling like the devil himself. I didn't see it coming. I knew had a devil side to him.Ralph had raised my hopes very high and taken me to a vulnerable state only to crash me at lightning speed with the worse thunder bolt; my mate.If it was someone else then I would have wasted no time to rip the person into two with the powers I had attained."I guess you can commend me for being a good Alpha now not so?" He paused and grinned like a child. "I have served
AdrianThe shock I received ran through to my bone marrow when my eyes fell on my mate Kylie, what was she doing here?I had picked her scent first but Ralph's blow had destabilized me in my distracted state and I felt the impact move me meters away but I was least bothered about that."Kylie," I called her name but she stood in her spot at his side. What a dirty game Ralph was playing, I knew him as a principled man and the last thing I expected was for him to drag my innocent mate into all of this."Addy, stop all of this please," she had tears in her eyes as Kristen held her hands to the back not letting her run into my longing arms."Baby I..." I lost the words, I could feel the bond pulling me to her, dampening all my vigor and lust for revenge Damn the goddess for such strong bonds of love that came with fated mates, love was the greatest force of attraction but I couldn't back down from my course simply because she asked, I had gone far deep and there was no redemption for me
RalphI turned and saw Adrian, well I was distracted by him so much so that I didn't pay attention to the petite lady that spoke to me first.He was truly standing there, my blood boiled in my veins as I recalled just how much he had betrayed me but something was off about him.He looked lost and drained, like a zombie maybe."Hello, Ralph." His voice was different too, I would have blamed it on magic but I already picked his scent from a mile away."Somewhere in my head I still thought that you'll be decent enough to address me as Alpha but I see that you already severed all the ties." I replied quite calm."There's not much to gain from given that I'm never going to kneel before you." "Bastard," I threw it at him utterly disgusted by his audacity. "More like the Ralph I know, calm doesn't suit you at all." Something was wrong, they had done things to Adrian and he had the look of a murderous monster in his eyes."Where's my mate?" I asked going straight to the point. "Your mate?"
