84 BAShe was left staring at the white blank ceiling of her bedroom. It is the same ceiling she used to paint her dreams of being with Alpha Mikhail the rest of her life. She was delusional. Alpha Mikhail haven't found his Luna, not yet. But Nyx is hoping he would just pick her to become his pack's luna and hoped that what they had would not just a pastime game for an Alpha before finding his fated one.“This is ridiculous. He will soon find his luna. Alpha Mikhail is not for me. We shouldn't have came here. I should stop thinking about him.” Nyx sighed deeply. “How I wished I could go back to time and then suggested we head to Alpha Grego's place. If only, I wouldn't be feeling this shit.” She closed her eyes wanting to quieten the memories that haunts her especially the desires of being owned by the man she loves. “A sleep will do the job. I hope so…”Nyx concentrated all the energy that is left on her to feel the aches of their run and the exhaustion they acquired before reaching
85 BATheir stay on Alpha Mikhail's place has lasted for almost a week and they will be counting more days in his territory. Alpha Lachlan have not figure it yet on how they will find a safe place of their own to hide. Going back to his territory is dire. It is the hotspot for the enemy's eyes. He is certain all the way in and out of his vicinity— everywhere, there is an enemy lurking and waiting for them to get seized.Sebastian handed Alpha Lachlan a cup of coffee he made himself. From a distance, from the balcony of Alpha Mikhail's mansion, they both witnessed how much Nyx is relishing Alpha Mikhail's company. “I did not expect that,” he stated, “she did not want to come here and there she goes smiling like there is no tomorrow.”Alpha Lachlan remained expressionless. “Let her be. She is still in love with that asshole,” he muttered contemptuously.His eyes grew wide and mouth gaping. Sebastian gazed at Alpha Lachlan with a dumbfounded look. “Did you just called him 'asshole'?” he
86 BAHe stayed there, hesitating even to breathe. His heart is pounding so hard that he thought even the sound of his breathing will put him to danger. Alpha Lachlan felt he is seized though he is not— not yet. The weight of the stare have not left his direction.“You are getting paranoid.” Alpha Mikhail spoke irritated. “You need a break, Cere.”“But, Alpha—”“You did enough. You may go.” Alpha Mikhail snapped him. “You did great.”“Thank you. But what am I going to do with the Alliance?” Cere asked like he is waiting for Alpha Mikhail to give him the command.“Continue spying. I still need your eyes and ears inside the Alliance.”He was so shocked that Alpha Lachlan almost rushed to see who Alpha Mikhail is speaking to. The good thing is he is able to prevent himself to do it— not to give into the temptation of seeing them or else he will be putting himself in great danger. A spy… this is something knew to him; a huge fragment of information that will soon be beneficial.“Sure. As
Nyx shook her head contemplating, searching for the right and logical reason her twin is using to act that way because up to this time, no matter how she cogitate, she can’t understand him.“So are you really going to insist Alpha Mikhail is up to something?” Nyx rolled her eyes and then it went to challenge her twin. Her angry glare went deeper into his orbs. But Alpha Lachlan did not have a change of emotion. “I see. You are sticking to your act, huh? This is extremely ridiculous!”“I saw how—” he was snapped immediately. He wanted to tell her he is not insisting lies, but the truth he found out. Nyx needs awakening; he needs to scrape whatever matter Alpha Mikhail has put before her eyes, blindfolding her to see what is really happening. Nyx bitterly smiled then her vision landed into each of them. She lastly glanced at Maridelle before her eyes returned to Alpha Lachlan. Before she uttered something, memories of how she dislikes Maridelle for her twin; the instances she had repea
88 BAHe is doubling his steps towards the guestroom. Behind him is Sebastian; he is panting, catching for his breath. Alpha Lachlan is walking too fast with his long strides. But Sebastian is not in a mood to use his super speed.Alpha Lachlan halted himself from walking just few steps away from the guestroom's door. He lifted his gaze and landed it on his twin. He could not, not yet, give Alpha Mikhail a glance. It boils his blood beholding him staying close to his twin and making her feel special when in reality, everything he is showing her is fraud.Sebastian stopped his steps and remained behind Alpha Lachlan. From Nyx's perspective, she can only see a glimpse of him.Nyx still remembers them bickering over petty concerns. But they are still siblings and she cannot let the bridge of their relationship burn again. It has been fixed for a short time; its destruction is unwanted. “Hi,” she timidly said.“Hey.” Alpha Lachlan embraced Nyx. He tucked few of the hair strands swaying in
89 BA Nyx felt instantly relieved. The way Alpha Lachlan has gave an introduction to asking pieces of information from Alpha Mikhail has made her tensed. Remembering their fight about Alpha Mikhail pulling an act is the source. “You had just asked the right wolf for that twin,” she commented, being proud of Alpha Mikhail’s ability in information seeking. Sometimes the same thing rendered Nyx to daydream it had made them compatible. Both of them got the knack to know what is ought to be known.“Right. Since Nyx and I are getting okay and I am foreseeing this as the start of stronger bond” —he looked at Nyx with her face reddening in front of everyone— “feel free to ask me anything, Alpha Lachlan. We are going to be a family soon. We should both learn to work together.”Alpha Lachlan had his stomach turned up side down for the umpteenth time. Every word coming from Alpha Mikhail nauseates him. He could not take another bite regardless how tasty Nyx has made it. Even Sebastian got nau
Alpha Lachlan hastily closes the door. Maridelle who is preceding him abruptly glanced at Alpha Lachlan. “You look anxious and nervous, are you okay? Is everything fine?” Maridelle is perplexed. Recalling everything that had happened within the passing minutes, she saw nothing that should worry him— well aside from the wounds that she got.Alpha Lachlan just walked past her. She found it strange. He never ignored her. She observes him hurried his steps towards Sebastian. Sebastian is swaying in front of him a discolored rose. His world revolves around his wild and alarming thoughts as he stared on each petals. He was so out of the reality that he did not heed the repeated calling of his attention from Alpha Lachlan. “Give it to me. Let me see,” Alpha Lachlan demanded for Sebastian to give him the rose. He got his suspecion correct regarding the rose. Maridelle's blood must have flowed in droplets directly into the rose.Sebastian is finally snapped out of his train of thoughts. “He
She found herself on two minds. One thought of her says to stop following him; the other says, to keep going. Whichever thought she would harken to, Nyx is frightened to discover the truth. That the euphoria she had felt is an illusion; that she had said the piercing words to her only family for the wrong reason. That Alpha Mikhail— the wolf she will be willingly offering her entirety and whole life to— is not worthy of the second chance. Nevertheless, her feet continued following his footsteps along the dark corridors. She carefully observed the things she passes by. Within few minutes of stealth movements, a warm streak of light came into view. It is coming from few lamps attached on the walls. She found the place really weird. Few meters away from her, Alpha Mikhail stopped. She found it strange. It is a cul-de-sac and no one except them are in the place. She stealthily closed a considerable gap to closely learned from Alpha Mikhail's strange behaviour.“He is few minutes late. I

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
