Ralph "Within our walls?" Aurora's eyes lit up with a certain understanding that I couldn't place. I furrowed my brow a d tried to understand what she was getting at. "Ralph I'm right. I think I'm right." She was excited and agitated at the same time. "What if I'm right?" She bit her lower lip. Her expression faltered and I struggled to understand her. "What is it Aurora?" I queried when she kept repeating incoherent words. "I knew it. I was mistaken at first but then the pieces fit together when Annora....Annora!" She suddenly looked up at me. "Annora, Zendaya," she was not making any complete sentence. "Ralph the traitor is within our walls and Annora..." she trailed off again. No way was I going to let her pull a repetition of the stunt she pulled by accusing Annora again. Annora had literally given up her life in Aurora's stead without a clue of survival when she returned with me, how will that same person be the traitor? Nothing made sense to me. "Don't yo
RalphThe presence was getting stronger, my palms felt sweaty and my heart rate quickened.'Who was there?'"Who is here?" I growled in frustration abandoning the book that had fallen. I took a few steps around searching for the sign of a person. There was no one.Uncertainty filled my heart as I took strides back to where the book was on the floor only to find the thick cover turned as well as pages."What under the moon light is happening here?" I stooped to the book and picked it up, studying the particular page, my eyes widened twice their size."Oh my goodness!" The page that was turned was the page that contained the exact information I needed about the blue bloods.Written in clear ink and pictorial descriptions was the history of the fall out with pure werewolf breed and the bluebloodsReality hit me quite hard."The blue bloods were a complex breed rumored to have extra abilitiesand that threatened the existence of the pure breed if given a chance at—""Alpha!" Someone inter
Annora"Why are you just standing there?" Brian asked as he tossed our things on the bed from the wardrobe. I wanted to plead with him so we stay a while longer but I knew better to make such a move."Annora!" He called out separating me from my thoughts. "What is it?" He walked over to me.I was worried sick about Aurora, her decision to do this on her own made no sense at all to me. "You are thinking about her well-being not so?" Brian could easily read me like an open book.I looked into his eyes but got no response at all.He was right but I couldn't confirm that, it was going to make him upset.Aurora had crossed so many lines and said a lot of things despite the explanation I gave to her."Brian I need to tell you something," I heaved a sigh deciding to tell him the truth.He had a soft spot for Aurora and seeing the both of them at loggerheads did me no good at all."Say,""Actually Aurora—" "I want to have a word with you," someone interrupted me.I paused and turned to see
Ralph"I thought as much," I heaved a sigh after Kristen's reply. I wanted to go with him and see what he was talking about but I also didn't want to adjourn my research. "How bad?" I asked."I can't say, I saw her charging towards Brian and Annora's room and no matter how I tried to stop her, she wouldn't slow down or at least give me a listening ear."I massaged my temples at Kristen's words,"I hope Aurora is not going to start another fight with Annora," I sighed under my breath."What's that you looking up?" Kristen was also a pool of knowledge always ready to take in more."What do you know about them blue bloods Kris?" I asked."You already asked me just now." Right. He was right."That's not what I asked you." I realized I had asked something similar but not exact."Ralph the topic is ...." he trailed off, shut the door behind him and walked closer to my desk.He strode past the grey sofa at the far end of my study and placed a hand on one of the leather chairs at the other en
Aurora. Arguing with Brian I felt uneasy. In as mush as I was trying to push him, I had pushed him too hard and I saw him switch, he misinterpreted what I said but I had no time to explain myself to him at all.My head suddenly felt light, my mind was occupied with images I couldn't interpret, I had reached for the nearest support but only ended up tumbling the vase nearby causing a loud thid and hurting myself. I heard my name before I gave into the darkness but nothing was physical."Aurora, Aurora!" A familiar masculine voice was calling out to me."Dad?" I fluttered my eyelids open but I was no longer in Brian's hand like I had felt when I passed out."Dad?" I got down from the bed and looked around for where he called out to me from.'How long was I out?' I groaned and steadied myself. 'This doesn't look too good,' Rora purred in my head."Where have you been?" I asked out loud even if I knew she was stuck in my head.'We shouldn't be here,' Rora sounded a little bit agitated.
Aurora"Arrrrgghhhh!!!" I held my head in my hands and screamed the loudest, my entire body quaking, my hands were trembling and I wondered if I was still in that awful dream.I looked around but the people did not fade out, the environment didn't change but the floor seemed to merge with the ceiling before my eyes."Aurora, are you alright?" Someone wrapped his arms around me."Dad?" I looked up and saw my Dad hugging me. I smiled relieved. "I knew you wouldn't just leave me like that." I rested head on his accommodating chest and sniffed in his scent.Something was wrong. This wasn't my Dad's scent."I'll find out whoever did this baby," the person spoke again and the voice and scent matched but not with Dad's. "Ralph?" I asked and snapped my head up."I'm here," my smile turned into a frown, it wasn't Dad, it was Ralph. Then where was Dad?"If you are here then where's Dad?" I asked him, both my brows furrowed, he looked at me with pity in his eyes and looked away. I looked to the
Ralph’s POV“Kristen, where is Lyon?” I said as I walked down the stairs.“He left to make a few checks at border, why?” Kristen replied and quickened his pass to catch up to me as I walked out of the mansion.“Call him, tell him to meet us at the dungeons,” I ordered without so much as a glance at my Beta.“Uh… Okay?” Kristen muttered with a hint of confusion in his voice. “But… us? What do you mean us?”“Get in the car, Kristen,” I barked as the chauffeur drove up to the entrance.“But I…”I turned and glared at Kristen, forcing him to choke on whatever he was trying to say. Recently Kristen had become my closest friend, probably my only friend if I was being honest with myself, and this was the first time I had seen him that scared of me. The bloodlust in my eyes alone… if anyone else was on the other end of my stare, they’d have probably passed out.Kristen sighed and walked into the car without anymore questions. I got in and the chauffeur drove off.My mind was bubbling with th
Ralph “Okay, fine, let’s say I do agree this was all Adrian’s doing. Let’s say that I believe that it was all planned, that there was no coincidence, what then? Nothing changes, we still don’t know where he is, do we?” Kristen finally said after a few seconds of thinking.“That is why we are on our way to the dungeons,” I replied with a voice so deep I felt it reverberate throughout the car.“What? I… I don’t think I understand,” Kristen shook his head slowly.I let out a sigh of exhaustion and explained myself to him; “If it was all planned, then there is one person we still have that we can question, don’t we?”Kristen looked at me with a confused expression, but his expression loosened slowly as he realized who I was talking about. “Adrian’s father, Elder Sebastian.”I nodded slowly in affirmation and relaxed into the comfort of the car as we drove silently to the dungeon. My thoughts were no longer as chaotic as before, because I had focused on getting answers from Elder Sebasti
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?"
