102 BALily had stopped the car. She can’t focus on her driving with them suddenly becoming agitated, acting weird and afraid. “Wha-What’s happening?” Maridelle can’t make something out of their strange behaviour not until she surveyed the same spot that Alpha Lachlan and Sebastian’s eyes are laid upon. She gasped while her hands nervously taps Lily’s shoulder.“What?” Lily confusedly responded to her taps. All except of her has fixed their eyes on a common direction. She decided to take a look on it too. Her lips moved and has pronounced, “El Diablo.”Written on stylish lettering are the letters comprising the name of the place they were trying to escape few hours ago. And Lily did not know that. It was their fault that they did not watched where they are going. “Make a quick turn, Aunt Lily,” Maridelle commanded in a frigthened agitated voice. “Faster!”“I don’t know what’s happening, but alright. Calm down!” Lily started the engine, look backwards and steered the wheel to backtra
103 BA Seeing both his childhood buddy and adored Alpha, in a worse situation, wrecks his heart. His second in command lifted his body and carried it on his shoulder like Alpha Lachlan is a heavy sack of rice. He gazed at his companion. He can read on their eyes the message of worries and helplessness. “We should go before our enemies gather around us.” He crinkled his nose. Alpha Lachlan is smelling like a rotten corpse. “We won’t be able to fight.” It is true. Almost everyone of them are enduring injuries; even worse most of them are women. “Hurry! Get inside the car.” With haste Lily went inside the vehicle, turned the key inserted in the ignition, and heated the engine.Everyone is scurrying to take their respective placement inside the car. Beta Mellow carefully placed Alpha Lachlan’s body beside him. Though the foul odor coming from his neck nauseates them, no one complained. Nyx could not look into her twin or any moment that she will do so will make her burst into tears; h
104 BA Growing louder on her inner being are the screams of longing, excitement, and a little of fright. This is probably the first time Maridelle has heard of her Aunt Lily talk about her father’s pack; a part of her origin that she wished to know since the first time she learned of her true identity. Since then, during her leisure time, she would conceived ideas of how the wolves on her father’s pack would look like on their pack run; what certain qualities make them stood out from the other packs; how they get through the day; and when she does not have a free time, Maridelle would steal time for her imaginations to embrace her. All of a sudden, her thoughts had zoomed out of her terrible situation until each of her neurons got theirselves working for her to get herself thinking, will they accept the hidden daughter of their Alpha? She doubt not. Maridelle has accepted it already. She will be destroying their peace. To avoid that, she knows the pack will immediately shun her.It
105 BALily saw her sitting on one of the chairs located at the porch. She was trying to find her after they had settled. But doubt is whispering to her saying she should not disturb Maridelle, who by the time is looking pensive. Shrugging the whisper, Lily’s feet prance towards her. “What’s wrong?” Lily pulled one chair and sat adjacent to her. “I was looking for you. You haven’t eaten your dinner. You must be so hungry. You know we had a long tiring day.”Lily does not want to tire her even more with her verbosity. But Lily finds it necessary to speak some words. However, Maridelle just stared at her for few seconds before she returned to her own thoughts. Lily gave off a deep long sigh. Maybe it was Maridelle’s peace that she needed the most and not her company. “I am sorry. I should not have disturbed you. I’ll just leave you here and if you are hungry, there is food in the kitchen, but if you want me to make one for you, you know I am always availabe. Just call me.” She stood u
106 BA What she saw written on his face made her rethink everything they shared together. Well on her memories and probably on their memories, they have been sharing bad remembrances all thanks to her troublesome blood. But is it enough reason for her to see Alpha Lachlan's face covered with an emotion she could not tell what is? They had shared, though little but genuine memories together. Maridelle only needed a simple 'Yes' or 'No' as an answer. But instead he made her leave the room in a manner a cruel master would do to his slave. Maridelle complied to his hurtful demands and without giving him a look, slammed the door as she took her last step out of the room. She does not know where she is heading, but she run towards the densest forest she had ever seen on her life. Beads of sweats are forming on her forehead; some had already found their way on her cheeks. When she had almost tired herself and her legs is feeling shaky, she stopped in between enormous trees. The sound of t
107 BAThere was a long pause in the conversation that Maridelle felt anxiousness slowly creeping into her body. She wanted more. Her mind desired to glean every bit of information she could get from the talk. To have a clarification, hoping that she would understand why all of a sudden Alpha Lachlan is talking about her parents’ death. And does the information he know is so big that it had hindered him to give her his mark?But the silence frustrates her. The longer it takes for her to hear what Nyx would respond to her twin, the more she overthinks. Does Nyx knew about it? What’s taking her too long to say a word? A simple “What about that night?” could make the conversation run. But instead she heard the kitchen utensils clattering and the sound of footsteps is heading towards her direction is getting louder.Immediately, she searched for a space to hide. On her right side, few steps away from her, is a spacious nook with a huge vase containing a leafy ornamental plant. Her feet sc
108 BAMaridelle know they heard it and by that she is certain both of them will come after her. As what she had expected, her name has been called out many times. But she is just as determined not to give a glance as the man shouting and going after her. “Mari!” Alpha Lachlan called her name for the uncountable times, “Please stop running!” He begged as he tried to close their gap. Still, Mari is gaining distance from her. She is just a naturally born fast runner. “Mari!” Nyx tried to get her attention; nevertheless, she got nothing in return. The time has come. It is this moment that he feared the most. Maridelle had the knowledge that he got involved on her parent’s death and she is not even asking for further details nor she is willling to listen to his explanations. The memory has stopped haunting him; he is now caught on the dilemma it had prepared for him to suffer. But he has to speak to her before she totally get him out of her life. Alpha Lachlan did not give up and ende
109 BA “Mark me, Alpha.” What she had just said has reverberated on his ears. It had occupied him for few seconds that he did not realize he was not responding to her demand not until Nyx took the courage to interfere. Nyx nervously neared them. “I don’t know the feeling of being fated to the Alpha, but as a wolf, as a daughter of a former Alpha, I know it does not happened the way you are asking it from my brother.” Nyx thanked herself for properly composing her sentence because honestly she don’t know what to do next if she would mess up. Still, she tried for she know her brother needs something to buy him time. Towards her direction, Maridelle has thrown a fierce and unmovable look. “Right. I am a daughter of an Alpha too. But I did not grow up with my father.”Alpha Lachlan could not give her a glance. Though the manner Maridelle is speaking is already calm and he sense that she will listen to his explanation, he can still feel tinges of hatred concealed beneath her self-contr

Days after the bloody encounter of the two opposing sides, the storm has subsided; the enemies has been defeated and although, the damage has been done so greatly, Alpha Lachlan and Maridelle as well as the Alliance has almost recovered from their wounds and from the effects of the encounter. They had returned to their respective abodes and pack, enjoying their triumph.“How are you?” Maridelle said as she neared Alpha Lachlan who has been looking at a distance in the balcony of his chamber. His thoughts are wandering along the memories of the yester days events. All the hardships that they have been through, the enduring, the loses, and the pain; the smiles, the tears, the camaraderie, and betrayal.He tilted his head to see who it was; his lips curved upwards upon seeing Maridelle. Her face is bruised and she's wearing a white cardigan to conceal the rest of her wounds and bruises. However, her countenance belies her appearance. Her aura is brighter than ever. Alpha Lachlan slipped
All of Vamoire’s power is on both of her hands that is pinning Maridelle’s head on the ground. “Die!” Her hands are trembling, seething. But to Maridelle, she had completely forgotten about her own fight. Vamoire notices it and wonderingly followed Maridelle’s stare. She chuckled devilishly upon knowing the reason. “I had changed my mind. I’ll postpone your death a little longer.” She pulled Maridelle’s hair, positioned it better to face the merciful situation that Alpha Lachlan is in and ruthlessly uttered near her ear, “That wolf that you love so dearly is going to die before your eyes. I’ll make sure you’ll see how Jek will tear him to pieces. Then the demise of your companions will be next.” She takes delight on the images of their enemies’ bodies lying lifeless before them. “Then I will kill you.”Vamoire has painted the scene so vivid that the next time Maridelle lifted the lids of her eyes, the red fiery color of its orbs were disclosed. This time those eyes are tinted with th
Nyx has received the report and she was quick to disseminate it. As what she has received, everyone especially his twin brother was informed that Hodor’s forces has been accumulated and is advancing towards one common location, the City of Hilwood. They need to get there first before them. “I can feel the end,” Lucia murmured in nervous breathing. Beside her is Alpha Lachlan who is also busy preparing his double-edged sword. “Hodor’s end. Let’s make that certain,” he suddenly replied. Lucia stopped strapping the special guns that are able to fight against vampires on her side. “How sure are you about that, Alpha?” she whispered to him, making it sure that it is only his ears that is going to hear her. Around them is a bunch of busy warriors whose spirits are being awoken in the last minute; still unprepared to fight even though a scarce amount of time was given, but it feels like it was only meant for them to have a stretching and not the whole exercise. Lucia is beign careful not
One vial of Maridelle’s blood is resting on Hodor’s hand. He took it from his pocket awhile ago. Actually it had never left the comfort of his pocket since the time he took one from Vamoire’s laboratory. His palm encloses the vial as the door opens. “Tell me some good news.”There is a wide grin forming on Vamoire’s visage. She pranced along the aisle, closer to Hodor’s throne. “Everything is doing really great accordingly to our plan,” she reported enthusiastically. “We are gaining controls over cities and towns and their fucking Alliance and all their forces are nothing compared to ours.”The news delighted him. “And the monsters and newborns? Are they doing well?” He wanted to assess the magnitude of Maridelle’s help. “Of course. That bitch had done us a good favor.” She smiled bitterly as her thoughts wanders from the moment she lost her pretty appearance because of her blood. It made her even angrier knowing Maridelle had survived the death they had offered to her. Hodor noti
Hurried and nervous knocks reverberated at the other side of the door. Without a waste of time, it was opened immediately disclosing to both Alpha Lachlan and Maridelle the Alliance and all who builds it. Nyx was quick to inform them about the news and the progresses it had already taken.She kept her gaze downwards while walking behind her Alpha who had entered with his authority and bearing. The silence that occupied the entirety of the whole room after they had stepped in sends cold shivers to Maridelle. Their feet halted just a meter away from the center where Lucia is standing.“She should be punished!” contemptuously scream by one of the Alliance’s member right after determining who their visitors are.His jaw tightened, fist clenched. Though he knew that is the best thing to do to Maridelle, for some reason Alpha Lachlan detested the idea. It only means she will get hurt. He held her hand and gently pressed it to tell her he got her. Maridelle remained gazing on the floor. She
It undeniable that the first being he would see right after opening his eyes is her is the best feeling he had for the past few months. Alpha Lachlan took his time to savor the moment as if everyhting is in peace. He slid his arm around Maridelle’s body, pulling her closer to his. Her back is facing him and his skin could apparently have the pleasure of her soft delicate skin; his nose is tickled by her body scent.There was a soft giggle coming from her. His lips neared her ear. “Good morning,” he sweetly whispered. Maridelle turned around and nuzzles on his chest. “I love you.” She smiled.He could not hide the happiness he felt; even his wolf gave a soft howl letting him know that he felt the same. A broad smile appeared on his visage; his eyes glimmer like the stars sprinkled on the pitch-dark sky. “I love you too,” he replied with all his heart, kissing her on the lips; but then the joyous moment has to be ceased. He needs to keep in mind the war Hodor poses. Regardless the mom
They drove along the dangerous road leading to the place where Alpha Lachlan was trained to lead his pack. Any time, their car could be susceptible to the rebels roaming around. The peace and order has been completely neglected. Lucia was so angry upon knowing that the Altamonte pack had kept the crucial information to themselves. She had almost used her wrath to destroy the pack if not only Alpha Lachlan did not convince her to analyze the situation cautiously. The Altamonte pack is the only pack that has fully prepared against Hodor’s forces. The bigger fight is not betweem them and so it has been decided to have a ceasefire and work together against Hodor. “We are almost there,” he informed her. She nodded, her eyes landing on the blurring scenery outside the car’s window as their vehicle paced fast. “Everything will be alright.”“No. It won’t,” she replied despondently. Not wanting to talk all over it again, Maridelle rested her head on the cushion of her seat and tried to doz
It was Nyx who first reacted after the shocking event of seeing Alpha Lachlan entered the Caruso pack with Maridelle at his side. The whole pack was stunned to witness the two together after the known dispute between them. Most of the eyes that landed on her figure are full of detest, apparently showing their anger of attacking their pack.“Ho-How?” Nyx asked; she is following her twin’s lead towards his chamber. “It’s hard to explain, Nyx, but I want you to prepare a getaway car and some essentials,” he commanded. “I need it ASAP.”He opened the door. Beta Mellow was already inside the chamber and so is Amari. Maridelle remained gazing only to Alpha Lachlan’s feet to guide herself on where to go, obviously avoiding any eye contact. Beta Mellow and Amari stood up as he entered the chamber. “Beta Mellow,” he called him. When he is certain that he got his full attention, he continued speaking. “Prepare the pack. All our warriors must ready themselves for a bloody war. There is going
