MARSAI'S POVIt was closing, and I told Arnold and Tasha that I had to go home early to do some things. Then Sam and I left the school and were talking as usual on the way home.“You are looking downcast today, Marsai. What's going on?” He asked out of concern, with his hands in his pocket as he kicked stones.“I guess it's not hard for you to notice.” I said, looking down.“Are you for real? Oh, come on! You know very well that we are close, and this isn't your usual attitude. Is it because of those guards?” “Not really. I wouldn't have minded it if I was allowed to go on the trip.” I blurted out, slamming my hand on my face.“What do you mean? My brother isn't allowing you to go for the trip?”Sam was clearly angry because he knew what I had to go through to get that opportunity, and it was heartbreaking to find out that I won't be allowed to go on the trip. Then he fastened his steps and then started running, I knew he was going to make a fuss about this, so I followed him, making
ALPHA ASHER'S POVMarisa caused many things in our lives. And if I had known, I wouldn't have allowed her into our kingdom. She left me with so many questions that feels like there would be no answer.I have tried so many times to ask her what creature she is, but she had never given me the chance to ask her. Then I remembered the threatening conversation I had with Sam. I knew I hurt him because he cared about Marsai and I was happy he was there at this time that I had to be cold towards her.But then, he was my brother and I wanted to avoid hurting him, so I felt I needed to let him know what's going on in my mind, so he'll understand and help me soothe Marsai. I went straight to Sam's quarters and met him drawing.He was always good at drawing, and he only drew when he was depressed and confused. He had not been drawing since he and Marsai became close, but now, he was depressed because he now feels whatever Marsai feels. I felt bad because of this, but I still had to be a rational
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI was in my room when I laid on my bed, unwilling to do anything as I had hurt someone I loved which automatically means I am hurting myself. I could see her facial expression, it wasn't a beautiful sight to behold. Currently, my wolf longs for her and I wish I could have her by my side right now. Since I changed and became distant from her, it has always been a long night and difficult to sleep. Who ever knew I would still turn cold even after she thawed my heart. Then I heard a knock on my door."Who is it?" I asked, not really interested in attending to anyone."It's me, Alpha."It was my beta and I knew whenever he came in like that, it always involved the kingdom and I was not prepared for another Marisa. I instructed him to come in, which he did."Alpha, a witch has come to see you, but she won't enter into our borders." My beta said, lowering his eyes."What do you mean by she doesn't want to enter into our borders when she wants to see me?" I asked, almost g
MARSAI'S POV"A fire stone? This is rare and can only be brought by..." Arnold paused, looking shocked "What's wrong?" I asked out of curiosity."It's a fire stone and the only creature that is able to do this is the fire monster, the kraken." Arnold revealed."What is a fire monster? It sounds creepy." I asked, looking at his reaction."It is a mighty kraken that destroy our world in a minute. We have to prepare against the Kraken." Arnold said, slamming his hand on his face.I didn't really understand what was going on, but I was scared. Was the world going to end or what was going to happen? Then we saw the guards approaching us. I also approached them."We can go." I said, knowing they wouldn't dare touch a strand of my hair as Alpha Asher didn't give them such commandment."Please, do not try what you did the other time." One of the guards warned, without looking at me.Arnold had also escorted me and I decided to go to Alpha Asher's quarters. I got there and didn't see him, I
ALPHA ASHER'S POV“Oh really? I would have to gather them once I get back home.” I said as my expression went serious.“Yes." she said softly as she began to fade away.Then, I also appeared back to my room, with her help. I looked around to be certain I was in my room and then, I went outside and found Sam and Marsai, holding the fire stone as they scrutinized it.“How did you get that?” I asked as I stepped down and walked fast, towards them.“Brother, you're back. Were you in your room all along?” Sam asked, looking confused.“It's complicated.” I replied as I collected the fire stone from him.“We have to gather ten brave alphas who would be willing to be swallowed by the fire monster.” I said as I scrutinized the fire stone.“What! You mean they would die?” Sam asked, with fear, visible in his expression.“No. They won't. The fire monster isn't immune to its fire stone. The fire stone can destroy it, but only ten brave Alphas can do the work, and I'll be among them.” I revealed a
MARSAI'S POVIt was Alpha, Asher. They all stood still as he gave them a commanding growl.“Didn't you hear him? Follow him now!” He instructed as his eyes changed from color red, back to his normal eye color.Fear shook them all as they just believed what Sam had been trying to warn them about.“Thank you brother.” Sam said, looking at him with cute eyes.“You need to learn how to command and exhibit power even without being an Alpha, Sam.” He said as he looked at the people, murmuring.“I know, brother.”“Alright, I have to go and address the Alphas. My beta has gathered them all. See you later.” He said and fled off.The situation between us was now awkward that he barely smiled at me anymore. It was more like I was back to square one.“You heard Alpha Asher, people. Now, follow me, so we can take refuge. The fire monster could wake up anytime soon. He could wake in the next five minutes, so if you still want to live on this earth, follow me.” Sam instructed as he held my hands and
The ground that shook below our feet sent shivers down our spine, because if I could feel it, I am certain they were feeling much more. The fire was a great monster and it was capable of anything, as we have been told. We were prepared to do our best to save the kingdom and our loved ones.Then I began to give to the Alphas, a fire stone, each.“Let’s get ready!” I shouted at the top of my voice.The other Alphas, stood at alert and ready to fight. We had not seen the fire monster, but we could sense the fear that revolves around it, it was near. “Warriors, make sure you are protecting one another as you attack. Use your skills well now, because this is the time you need it most.” I admonished them, looking at everyone of them from where I was.Then we heard a loud roar and the ground shook like there was going to be an earthquake. But what baffled us was that, it sounded very near, but we had not seen it yet.“Where the hell is this monster?” I shouted in frustration.Then 5 warrior
MARSAI'S POVThis was all so scary to me. How could this happen to us? Alpha Asher isn't with us and this shows how weak we are, without him. Within a few minutes, the people who ate the bread, began to puke and they all started shaking and it was like they were turning to cripples. In a split second, they cought out blood and we're certainly writhing in pain.One by one, that was how they all died. The others were scared and they all stood up, some, whose loved ones too ate the bread, also died. I felt pained to see them die and wondered why Niel was as wicked as that. He was in human form, so he ought to have a heart and a conscience, but it didn't seem like he had one."So, I still have two more days to endure all these. Would I be able to survive?" I said as I turned to the woman, looking at her and hoping there was a way out of it."When it happened many years ago, in this situation, some werewolves resorted to eating their flesh, to hold on." She revealed, slowly blinking her
MARSAI'S POVI could not believe that we had just failed the task. I didn't know what fate had in store for us, after this.Then I noticed that the ghosts looked as if something was communicating to them, then they looked back at us."You failed the task, but you have been graced. You will leave now and will be transported back to your destination." The first ghost said, then snapped his finger and in the blink of an eye, we were at the Benitoite forest."Thank goodness. We made it!" Alfred raised his hand for a high five, which we did.Then we began to walk around the forest, trying to search for the gem."It's really hard to find the gem. It is so rare and I guess that is the reason most people are after it.""Of course. These gems generates a huge amount of money for those in possession of it. They know very well that people covet it, so it is sold at a high price." Alfred said as he continued to search around the forest."I think we need to take a break. I'm kind of feeling tired.
ALPHA ASHER'S POV"Who are you?" I asked out of curiosity."I am a seer." She replied, with no emotions on her face."A seer? Really?" It was good news as she was a seer, because I would be able to get an answer to the burning questions I had right now. "I have a question to ask, please answer my question for the sake of the time that we have spent together." I pleaded, earnestly and this I did, because of Marsai and because she was a seer that wasn't under me."Alright, go on.""Someone I love was abducted a few days ago and I need to know if she is still alive." I asked, hoping she was still alive.Then her eyes turned white and she went silent for a while. I had to wait for a while until her eyes turned back to normal."I saw that someone you love is still alive, but there is trouble looming around." She said as she looked around."Do you know how we can prevent it?" I asked out of concern and worry."Only your presence can prevent it. I will take my leave, right now." She said a
ALPHA ASHER'S POVThe snakes came in different sizes flying at me and I immediately tried to run but fell in the deep sand.The snakes landed on the sand close to me and I immediately brought myself up to my feet and tried to run. It wasn't easy, running in the deep sand and the snakes were faster since they were in their element.One flew at me and I swatted it away, another flew right at my face but missed me by just an hair's breadth.I ran looking back at my unrelenting pursuers. It was something I couldn't bring myself to believe."It's all an illusion, they're just playing on your mind. You have to get out of here fast before you get caught! " I said to myself to give me the confidence I needed."Surrender! And stay here forever!" The voice of the lady boomed and although I looked in all directions, I couldn't find her."Stop this! I didn't plan for any of this!" I shouted as the wind picked up and it became hard to see.I had to close my eyes as the sand was flying all around
ALPHA ASHER'S POVA few days had passed and it was hard to stay in a room, starved. But the lady and I had gotten close a bit. Although, the normal would never speak to her to that extent, but this place was weird. You would do things you never thought you would ever do."Now it is time for the second phase. You will enter the illusion room and when you fight the illusion, you will be transported to where you wish to go to." The first werewolf announced, looking at each and everyone of us.We were ready to go into the illusion room and I feared for my new friend, because I found out that she usually was scared over things easily, but there was no way I could go on this journey with her.I also hoped that I would be able to conquer whatever the illusion brings to me and I kept reminding myself that anything that happens there is not real. I just needed to wield through. I hid the fear that could have shown in my expression, so that the lady would be encouraged to face it on.“Remember
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI went into the forest and tried to pick up trails, but I didn't find any and I decided that I would start checking different kingdoms and small packs to check for Marsai. Although, that would have been easier if I took a few warriors, but this would be as a punishment to me for the bad I had done to Marsai.As I kept walking, I fell into an underground and I groaned. I didn't expect to fall into anywhere, but then as I looked back up at the hole I had fallen into, it was covered already. What problem had I entered into again, I didn't know, but I was fed up with the different, tiring things that kept happening.I decided to walk where the path led to and it seemed like there was no end and then I noticed someone was somewhere not far from me. All along, I could see a figure with my side eye, but I didn't think too much about it until now that I was frustrated that I had been walking for what seemed like hours now.Then I looked to my side and saw a man, dressed in b
MARSAI’S POVI woke up and my eyes felt heavy. It felt as if I had been asleep for a few days, which I wondered how that could have been possible. My eyes stinged as I tried to open them, and then I knew I had to be patient for them to be able to adjust to the light.After the struggle for over a few minutes to open them, I was finally able to and I saw a lady, looking at me and beaming with smiles.“Who are you?” I asked as I sat up, scared of what she was going to do to me.Although, I wasn’t that scared, because she had a smiley face and she didn’t look like she was going to hurt me. “I am not going to hurt you. Just stay calm.” She said, with a smile and gestured with her hands, like she wants me to calm down.“Then who are you?” I asked as I curled up on one part of the bed.“I am Flora and I am a maid in this pack, who is assigned to serve you and assist with whatever you need.” She introduced herself, with a bright smile.“A maid? As in mine?” I asked, out of surprise.“Yes.”
ALPHA ASHER’S POVWhen I announced that we were going to have a combat, I noticed that Marsai’s expression changed, like she was uncomfortable. She was probably scared that she can’t fight well, but that was going to be the beginning of her training. It would be best if she knew how to fight for herself in case of times that she was alone and someone wanted to hurt her.“Hey bro, I’ll like to see you.” Sam said, staring into my eyes like he had a lot to say.We both went to my quarters and when we got to my room, I sat on the couch and laid back on it.“Alright, I am all ears. What do you have to say?” I said as I crossed my legs on the small table in front of the couch.“Well, I am certain that you would have taken a wild guess. I am here to talk about Marsai and you need to take this, serious.” “Alright, I am ears.”“I understand the fact that you really do not know how to let out your emotions, even when you want to, but I think it should be possible for you to reduce the way you
Marsai’s povAfter the contest, my tummy began to grumble and it made me feel uneasy. Have I eaten too much or I ate something wrong that wasn’t cool with my system. My tummy rumbled again. It seemed like I had already stuffed too much in my tummy and I was ready to visit the powder room, in order to feel better.On the way to my room, I met Alpha Asher and it seemed as If he wanted to say something, which I was curious to hear about.“Well, I want to talk to you about a few things.” He said, looking straight into my eyes.But as much as I wanted to hear what he was about to say, I could not hold it in any longer. I needed to use the toilet as soon as possible and it would be so embarrassing if I started farting.““I’m sorry. Can we talk later? I think I have to visit the powder room.” I said, looking uneasy.Before he could say any other word, I dashed off to my quarters as fast as I could, because I could not bear it any longer.Immediately I got into my room, I went to the toilet
MARSAI’S POV“Alright guys. Till we meet again.” Some people said as we all parted.It was a nice time which we had together and it made me feel depressed that the school where I had most of my lit memories had now come to an end. What was I going to do now that school has finally come to an end? I was not going to see Tasha five times a week anymore, although, it was possible that I would be able to see her, once in a while, which was obviously not enough.“Hey, Marsai.” Tasha called out to me, with tears, welled up in her eyes.She hugged me so tight that I understood why she hugged me that tight. We were no longer high school students and it was no longer certain when we were going to see anymore.“When next should we meet, Tasha?” I asked, trying to comfort myself with the next date on my mind.“I am afraid that we may never see anymore, except when we visit. Adam is moving to another faraway kingdom and my family has agreed that I go with him.” She said, looking sad.My heart bro
