NARRATOR'S POV

The evening had just settled. The weather was cool for the sundown. The streets weren’t exactly silent, but they were starting to empty out as people were already going home as fast as they could.

Most of the people in this quite distant town were scared of something that could not be easily pinpointed. Were they afraid of wolves, dangerous creatures, or themselves? Oh, or maybe ghosts?

Until this question was answered, why they didn’t stay out late at night and why they hastened to their houses whenever it was dusk was weird and had become a mystery that no one was ready to uncover.

This town contained humans, different forms of people. They were the ones that filled the town, in and out. Humans, all of them, and everyone else were abused by the invisible rule except one woman.

This woman, this lady, was seated in one of the shabby neighborhoods. Would she be regarded as a disobedient one? Or someone who just decided to play with her life.

    AURORA"Let me explain to you," Ashina muttered.I was anticipating how she was going to explain because it was confusing. How could it have happened?"This was how I figured it out," she said as she pulled up her sleeves.I swallowed and rested my eyes on her. What does she want to show me? Is it that hidden? What if she draws out a knife? It is hard to trust someone these days. She is Ralph’s sister for God’s sake. But she is not supposed to kill someone like her since she’s blue-blood too.On the side of her arms, something like a birthmark was revealed at first glance. Was she one of those hot babes who did bad things like getting laid, shooting guns, and stealing things? Of course, they would have different kinds of tattoos too. "Come on Aurora, she has been hidden all her life," I reminded myself."You see?" Ashina turned and asked.I walked closer to her to take a deeper look. "It’s not a tattoo, is it?" I asked, confused. It was not too small and not too big. It was moderatel

    RALPH "Where did you say you found this?" I asked, turning it over and over again. Jasper pointed to the bed. "Over there. Under the drawer," he answered, and I nodded. "It’s a camera, a beautiful one." I remembered when mother gave Ashina one so she could keep connected to us and not feel too lonely down here. Sometimes, I pitied my sister. She was a kid, very innocent. She didn’t need to go through the pain of being alone just because she was born differently. Ashina didn’t have the chance to have the kind of childhood I had, such as going out with friends. She was all alone, and I always felt sorry for her. "What is so special about it?" Jasper asked, his eyes resting on the camera in my hands. I stretched it to him. "I can teach you some basic things about it. It’s interesting to use," I convinced him, and he agreed that I tell him some things about it. We spent time discussing and looking at the camera. It made me remember all the things I did with a camera. Jasper

    ANNORAI moved away from the man, who was now screaming as his bone rearranged."Wrong move, he is a wolf," I muttered in shock and dashed into the woods. That was a very stupid mistake I had just made. It wasn’t intentional. I can swear that it wasn’t. The wolf was still wounded when I left him. How could I have been so stupid? I just blew up my cover, a secret that I have been keeping for years. How could I have been so careless to make it slip out like this?I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. The woods had some branches on the floor which kept on snapping as I stepped on them. But I cared less. All I needed to do was run away from this vicinity.I brought up my arm that was injured earlier and looked at it. It has healed up and I couldn’t be more grateful for that. But it wasn’t worth it.“I cured his wounds,” I cried inside and out. How could I have done this so carelessly?I tried not to panic but indeed, I was panicking very hard. “I blew my cover.” I recited to myself a

It wouldn’t be very comfortable for him.Ever since Jasper was a baby, he never liked to sleep in someone’s hands or on someone’s body. He always cried and whenever he was laid on the bed, he was always comfortable.The bed was probably very soft and comfortable to sleep in for him so I understood his reactions. But Jasper sleeping on Ralph’s chest so comfortably was something I was surprised about.How come he looked so comfortable? Like he enjoyed the relaxation so much? He was so relaxed like he was actually sleeping on a very soft bed. I liked the presence of the two of them but of course, I have to deny it.I dropped Jasper on the bed, just beside Ralph. I dropped the blanket on him to cover him well. I kissed his hair and patted his back. I was about to leave when a particular hand grabbed me.It was Ralph. Has he been awake throughout? Oh! He must have woken up when I carried Jasper of

    ANNORA“The goddess will lead you to her.” I remembered what the elders said and I became confused.This is a large world, full of werewolves and humans. How do I find her? Am I just going to wait for the goddess to show me the way? Would she tell me which way to go or how I am going to find her?“Don’t worry, Annora. Just like you heard, the goddess will definitely lead you to her.” Another elder walked up to me and patted my shoulder.I sighed. I decided to trust the goddess. That was what we have been doing all this while. We have been in hiding for so many years and all we do is to trust the goddess to lead our way right.They gave me a nod when I looked back at them before I entered my room. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Where do I start from?I removed all the clothes I was wearing and stepped into the small bathroom that was meant for me. I hurriedly used a sponge to rub my dirty body and poured lots of water to rinse my body. Who knows when next I might have a clean bath

    AURORA“You have to go to the pack. You have been out here for too long, your people need you,” Ashina whispered to Ralph.It was true though. I understood that perfectly well. Ralph needs to go back to his pack and monitor things. My father is an Alpha too, and I understand the way these things are done.He puts his pack first in everything he does. Whenever the situation involves his family and he has no choice, he always puts his family first and goes back to check on his people.It makes him like the superhero father, and I love him for who he is. “You should go back to your pack. That is your second family. You need to do this,” Ashina tried to convince her brother as he felt reluctant to leave us behind.“It will definitely last for a limited time. I mean, the disguise I just told you about,” Ashina pointed out.Though I couldn’t tell what disguise they talked about, I knew it was something that would be worth it. He is an Alpha, and he has responsibilities; going back to his pa

    SEBASTIANI had just one decision in mind, and that was to go to Ralph’s pack and befriend Adrian. Since Adrian wants to take over the pack as the new Alpha, it would be unwise for me to just stay back without doing anything.I needed to be there with him, help him with things, especially matters that concerned Ralph’s disappearance, and slowly, I would start bringing up the reason why I went there.The ladies were already out of my room, and I stepped into the bathroom to have a cold bath. The idea that settled in my brain was more than enough to calm me down, as I was already panicking earlier about my plans failing.“We will be traveling down to Ralph’s pack,” I informed my Beta, who had already come into the room a while ago. He nodded and was about to move to get ready.I was still in a towel and needed to dress up. “Prepare some gifts, expensive ones. That will be our second ticket to Adrian’s heart,” I ordered.The pack runs with the same rules. Beta Adrian will be crowned the

    Chapter 73BrianThe morning showed it would be bright, but I didn’t feel bright. My body wavered as though I was missing something. I didn’t know what I was missing, or maybe I knew but wasn’t willing to admit it.“Send a maid down here.” I sent a mind link to my Beta, and he responded almost immediately.It was still dawn, very close to the sunrise. The feeling lingered in me, I couldn’t scrutinize it. It felt unreasonably odd to think about. I knew what that thing is, and it was about Aurora.I couldn’t help but feel angry toward her. How could she live with it? How could she just turn her back on me because of a stupid man that didn’t treat her right? How could she just leave without even looking back at the only one that was with her throughout, the one who stood by her, the one who took care of her and her son?My breath hitched, and I had to open my mouth so air could pass through for me to be able to breathe. Aurora has always been the source of my strength. Seeing her face ev

    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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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?"
