Ralph The building looked dark and deserted, a hotel maybe. We approached from the rear careful to stay close to the thick tree lines scanningthe area for signsof anyone.Flashlights were often shone into the woods with beams that shone several miles searching for their prey.We ducked and went flat on the ground each time the rounds were taken, Kristen already smartly deduced the arithmetic progression of the timing, every fifteen seconds a path was illuminated from a different angle for five seconds sweeping through the perimeter before the darkness was enjoyed againHaving Kristen on my team and having to pick his brain for ideas and solutions was always a plus for me.'Now,' at Kristen's subtle command, we all went flat blending with the night and ground while the lights penetrated. No way nothing was going on up there.Kristen, Lyon and I were identically dressed and moved in a tandem a little far from the others. We had found the lead to the place from some items we found on th
Ralph I didn't quite get the response I hoped for or a positive lead in my search but at least we were sure of one thing; the blackmail was over and their leverage with magic was over as well."It was worth the least," Kristen smiled weakly as he watched the mother and daughter reunite.The girl we found was Seraphina's daughter, the very same one she claimed was kidnapped, the one on whose account of safety she was compelled to dance to their tunes."We can only pray the damage they've caused is not too much," Lyon remarked.I was quiet. The possibility that they already got all the spells they needed was higher than not. I ran my hand over my face and hoped to the goddess for protection against these anonymous enemies."Alpha, you should rest a while," Kristen encouraged me but the least of my worries was my personal wellbeing.I was more concerned about the family I was heading, my pack and my mate's wellbeing after her loss."I need to see my mate." I heaved a sigh and left the i
Aurora I remembered mornings when my head didn't hurt, the news still broke my heart as I tried to seat upright. I had not left my room for as long as I could recall after the package I received. "Here," someone offered me a glass, my vision was a bit blur so I didn't look up at the person. Revenge more than sorrow clouded my sight but his smell and voice was unmistakable. "Any news?" I asked as I sipped on the hot tea."No but if you want we can lay him to rest," my mate responded."What now? Receive another delivery of the rest of his body, travel with the packegr or bury both apart?" I scoffed.I heard him sigh, he was probably also trying hard to find a solution but at the time I had shut my heart out on everyone. "What do you want?" He asked me as he sat on the edge of our bed and watched me as I stared blankly outta space."Talk to me," he took my hand in his and rubbed on it gently."I want a tattoo," "What?" Ralph was shocked at my absurd request but I wanted to cover my
Aurora "All good things come to an end and good people too," the Elder said as he set father's disjointed bdy ablaze."Dust to dust," he recited the cliche ritual citations as I watched my father gradually disintegrate to complete ashes, the tears pricked the corner of my eyes but I blinked them back and squared my shoulders. I was Aurora; Luna and Leader of the blue bloods, I couldn't be perceived as weak either."Did you later get that tattoo?" A strong arm wrapped around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him.I rolled back my sleeve and displayed it for him to see."Looks good to me," he shrugged and kept his gaze on the almost burnt body of my father."What looks good?" I nudged him with my elbow in his side and he faked a wince."Well, since you showed me, I hoped you wanted me to imagine it," he looked down at me, humor playing in his grey eyes and at the corner of his lips. I pouted and placed a hand on my hip before rolling my eyes at him."Ok, fine. Why did you change you
Aurora Going back was a huge leap for me, filled uncertainty and other emotions I couldn't quite interpret.A part of me wished Ralph had insisted and put his foot down to stop me but the other part was grateful to the goddess for giving me an understanding mate that had allowed me do as occasion served me. Damn! An absolute mess; that was the state of my mind."You called," Annora pushed open my office door slightly and let herself in without knocking, not like the door was closed anyway, it was ajar.No one knocks on an open door, it's already a statement of access granted.I sighed and finished up what I was scribbling and closed the file. "I did," I said to her.I gave a weak nod and smiled when I noticed the other woman at the door. Annora's expression seemed to faulter when she saw the woman enter. It was no news to me since both women were always at each other’s necks. "She's here too?" Annora remarked as Zendaya walked in definitely not alone since she was assigned to someon
Ralph "And you let her go?" Brian was yelling over my head."She left with your mate as well." I said in my defense. "Exactly my point, I didn't know they were going with that shrewd woman and absolutely no security for the love of the goddess Ralph."Brian was right. I screwed up big time. I didn't know how Aurora was able to convince me to let them leave without giving me the details I needed but hearing Brian grunt, I knew I had made a mistake. "She did leave me an email," I filled him in on the details of the email and he only got more agitated swearing and venting on everything. My poor wall took most of his blows as he flexed his muscles. "Why did you do it?" He grabbed Lyon by the shirt and landed a punch in his face."Hey, hey. No violence against my officials man. They had nothing to do with it." I immediately stood between a furious Brian and a nose bleeding Lyon."Damn. That was one hell of a punch Alpha." Lyon rubbed his healing broken nose." Does he have just irons a
Aurora I drove. Heading north all the while as I did so."This doesn't look like the route we had planned out does it?" I looked over in my rear view mirror to find Zendaya frowning. "Nope it doesn't, I thought we'd do a little stop somewhere and ask some of my old friends a thing or two before we set out on our journey. "And you didn't think it wise to inform us first?" Zendaya seemed agitated. I shrugged. "I didn't, why?" I asked as I observed her expression carefully as she responded. "Nothing, I just thought that it would have been better if you at least gave us a little heads up first." She said again swallowing hard."Not like we have anyone expecting us do we?" I asked over my shoulder and she became very uncomfortable in her seat."No, no." She said and Annora smiled at me."Or do we?" I asked again and her eyes widened in shock although she was quick to catch herself and regain her composure? I already saw it."What car is this by the way?" Zendaya asked after a few seco
LizbethNot like I liked the idea of being around these people but you know how the saying goes; your enemy's enemy is your friend so yeah I teamed up with them.Anything to ruin Aurora and hopefully get me a chance with Ralph again plus they had freed me from the dungeon do why not?"They should be arriving in a few minutes, do you have everything set?" Natalie walked up to me and asked, separating me from my thoughts.I didn't exactly like her but I had learnt to tolerate her after sharing a cell with her and having a uniform course ahead."Ready," I gave a word reply because conversations with her were not exactly ones I enjoyed the most.The people here were one hundred percent on her side and I couldn't be the black sheep but one thing that bothered me was where they kept Adrian."Thanks for your help so far. We made it this far because we had you on our team." Natalie placed a hand on my shoulder and in as much as I wanted to shrug it off, I didn't. I rather flashed her a polite
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?"
