ALPHA DEVON IS BACK

Avery's POV

The news that Alpha Devon has come gives me bone frightening chills. Infact, I can't breathe. I suddenly begin to shiver. Different thoughts ram through my brain.

All i do is go back to sit on the cold floor. There is nothing I can do so long i am locked in this den. My hands clasp my head and i look up to the ceiling as if summoning the gods to come to my aid.

Then i take my hands to my feet to hold them close like a form of protection for myself.

"How the hell do i get out of here? Alive." I think hardly as i look at the ceiling like it has some answers to my questions.

I need to escape Blessingstoke alive. I cannot for the life of me die at the hands of a ruthless alpha who could gorge out my eyes or fo things more brutal than the other sickening thoughts filling up my head.

My stomach roils at the thought of all theseand I rub it to relieve me of the discomfort. It's as if it can sense everything going on also. "What do i do?" I rack my brain hard

    TRYING TO ESCAPEAvery's POVI am out of the den with the keys to the den in my hands as i run out of the den's entrance. Alex screams "You bitch! I will make sure that you pay for this! Get back here while there is still chance for you to repent" I turn to regard gim before taking my last step out of his view. He is stretching his right hand outside and motioning for me to come back. I would be a fool to go back in there. I had been there for days. Freedom tastes so good.Hsi face rolls into a snicker as he huffs. "You do not know the danger that you are putting yourself into you fool!" He bellows. If he gets a hold of me now, i would lose a tooth or two. "Bye Alex!" I wave at him and take steps out of his view. The last thing I hear from him is "You scum! Alpha Devon won't just kill you! You will ne hung upside down!"The thought of that hastens me. I run as fast as i can. His temperance would be enough to roast a turkey. I totally understand how he must have felt to be deceived l

    I WON'T PAY THE MONEYBeatrice's POVWhen Reginald told me of his plans, they made some sense to me. However thinking about what Levi would say if he heard that i plotted with him scared me.I have been ruminating on it since morning. "Should I go with him?" I sit at the ample pillared iron wrought verandah holding a magazine. My mind is weighing the odds of the plans and i am stuck on the first page i opened thirty minutes ago.The local magazine contained hot gossips from different families in the Park. Those who couldn't meet up with their spouse's demands, those who found pleasure in having many sex partners, those who had family issues were not spared.Gossips like this frequented guest houses and other social gatherings. Most times, friends were the ones who spread such gossips. It could be as a result of a quarrel they had had with the person in particular.It was another reason why I don't keep plenty friends except Lady Ashley Carr and Lady Stephanie Drake. Those two have bee

    THE PLOY Alpha Devon's POVThe news that the prisoner has escaped from the den with crisscross iron flanneled gate sounds like a joke to me.It isn't possible for her to escape that prison without the help or the stupidity of someone. My eyes are filled with fury at the mere thought of this slipping opportunity because with every minute that passes, i lose the chance to get her"How the hell did one lady escape from the den!? How could you all be so careless about a lady?" I stomp up and down the hearth. It makes no sense to me how someone could outsmart twenty men."We came to pay our obeisance to you but we made the mistake of leaving just one person in the den. She manoeuvred her way out of the den and locked him up inside" onr of them spoke up."Bloody hell! How could you leave an amateur to guard such a wild girl? Did her first instance not teach you anything? Now that she is gone what are you going to do about it! Answer me! I need answers!" I bellow."We are sorry my lord. We

    I MUST SAVE AVERYHoots POVI left the palace immediately one of the men told me of Avery's escape. If only she knew that escaping will only add more fuel to Alpha Devon's anger, she would have stay put.However, i understand her. I was once in captivity also. Captivity had a way of making you quest for freedom. You just want to ne free to fly again without your wings being clipped.Avery March had quested for freedom and she got it. I just hoped that she ran as fast as her legs could carry her because she would regret ever coming here if she didn't run.Day by day, I prayed for a way to escape in the forest. Just one slight mistake that would make me run as fast as my legs could carry me.The first time i tried it, I was caught almost immediately. They whipped me with their whips and starved me of food. "Young man, if you ever try that again, that will be your goddamn end! Am I clear?" One of the slave traders dragged my ear and said as they tied me to a pole.I can never forget his

"The Alpha summons you to thr castle immediately" the servant had delivered the alpha's message and i knew that i was needed as soon as possible with the urgency in his voice.Did it have something to do with that lady?

    NICHOLAS MUST MARRY AVERYNicholas's POV"Stop! Do not hurt her!" Wahika screams as she see my father about to strike her with his sword. He looks shocked and the people turn to us. They murmur amongst themselves while i make way to the center. "Why, Wahika? This person is a betrayer!" He yells."Yes! According to our tradition, betrayers must not live to see the next sunlight. Alas, this one has seen the sunlight for at least three days. There is no escape for her now" one of the chiefs says as he spits in her way.Most of the onlookers are angry too. "Can we speak in private?" She says to him when we get to the center. He looks at her in confusion, then he looks to me who is by her side."What the hell is going on Nicholas and where the hell have you been!" The alpha asks me. "I don't know Papa. I am as confused as you are. Wahika has refused to tell me also but please put down the sword" I plead. Why i am worried about her is something beyond my imagination. I am trying his best to

    AVERY'S SHOCKNicholas's POV"What did you just say?" I rephrase those words carefully to ascertain if i heard Wahika well. My ears must have been malfunctioning."Wahika, this isn't a joke or a child's play" father says as his face changes into a darker cloudy mask. I look around and the chiefs are also astonished at the turn of events."Why would i joke with such heavy words my lord. Have i ever dared do such? Have i ever dared speak what the gods have not commanded me to? I wouldn't dare. My life would go for it" Wahika says.It is glaring that no one anticipated this. Marriage? To someone who would have reported them to her Kingdom? Some of them look to each other in confusion as they murmur."Are you really being serious, Wahika?" I turn to her. I flicker my eyes to hers, trying to see if she is pulling my legs which Wahika never does. Maybe i am just looking for an excuse to reason what she said."You don't mean it right because how the hell do you expect me to get married?" Ang

    EPILOGUE --- AGAIN AND AGAINIt was a whole battle against a male confessor and his clan. The nightcrawlers came together to join forces with all the confessors to eradicate the male confessor once and for all. They all knew, that killing the male confessor is like catching lightning - His armies are might, large and filled with humans, confessors, Lycans, werewolves, and nightcrawlers.Only a few, a very little few are not under his command. They are all bent to his command and are willing to sacrifice themselves for the male confessor. With his mother forcefully beside him, ruling multiple large kingdoms.When he was only but twenty, Dylan decided to kill him, but he was caught. The male confessor commanded that each part of his fingers should be removed every hour, then he would finally be killed when the ten fingers and toes are gone.Dylan removed the leather gloves, revealing his lost fingers.

    THE LITTLE BOY The nightcrawlers surrounded the eldest of the nightcrawlers inside their cave. They waited for him to speak up because they are all aware that he would have known about what is going on currently in the forest and with the confessors. "You all expect me to say something about what is going on currently in the confessor's city?" The nightcrawler asked. They all shook their heads and went their way. Deep down they were all scared. What really happened during those times? The nightcrawler sighed and glared at one who didn't want to leave. "What are you waiting for young one?" He didn't speak, yet he continued staring at the nightcrawler. He sniffed the air and at once the old nightcrawler knew something was disturbing him. "Talk young one. I won't sacrifice you." He assured. "The baby ---" "I know. I'm also thinking about what to do here. The baby must not live." "The baby is hours old now. Nothing can kill him as we speak.

    HE IS REBORN."We will regret this. It is not about the question if we would. We didn't - No - You should have listened when I said we should go forward and search for her." Theresa, one of the midwives - also one of the greatest confessors that ever lived lamented.She sat down on the chair as she entered the room and others followed behind. "I know it is risky." The eldest of the midwives said and continued. "But, we all know that it is just written in the books and we have not seen for ourselves what great calamity would befall us. Maybe the people who came together to write this book see how powerful he is and would not want anyone to wield that kind of power again. Thus, tagging him bad from birth.""I would not say otherwise, but it is written for a reason. If it was never a threat to us all, I don't think they would have agreed to write the book.""Then they should have explained the consequences of leaving that child alive. No stories, only warnings. And if it had happened bef

    THE BIRTH SYNDROMEIt feels a lot weird when you know you have a super power inside of you. Humans and supernatural beings bend to your will, and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it. It is incredible, but it comes with a disadvantage."Erhmm, Nicholas, can you help me with the cup of water on the table please?" Avery asked."I'm very busy currently, there are a lot of letters I need to write back to Blessingstoke and —" a stolen glare toward Avery kept him mute halfway. "Don't you dare use that on me, Avery." Nicholas stood slowly.Avery laughed and kept on laughing. "I'm not using it on you. See my baby bump, I don't want to move right now." She said amidst laughing.Avery is eight months pregnant. The midwives told her to get into care immediately, but she was adamant. When anyone tries to force her to leave for the care room, she would try to use her powers on them. Thus, they all backed off at one point in time.They heard a knock on the door.

    BETRAYAL AND LOYALTY"We are home!" Philippa, a young lady about Avery's height and age yelled as she entered the castle. Beatrice wouldn't believe her eyes - she shouldn't be back now - oh, she missed Avery."Philippa?" Beatrice called out her daughter. They embraced each other as tightly as they could."Mother." She smiled, closing her eyes to feel the moment she had craved for.There was an elderly woman beside Philippa. A few months ago, she was forced to follow Philippa to an unknown town And they spent most of the year there. "Mrs Stewart, welcome back." Beatrice greeted her.Amazed as she should be. "Is this the king's sister?" She asked."Yes, I am," Beatrice replied with a grin."The real you wouldn't have greeted me. It is weird." She said what was on her mind and didn't keep anything to herself."People change." Reginald walked majestically toward Mrs Stewart and gave her a warm hug."Reginald." She called him."I have missed how you call my name." Reginald smiled. "Avery w

    THE EVIDENCE"Should we ask her about it?" Nicholas bent toward Avery. Avery glared at Beatrice."No, don't. Let's wait till after the wine and dine. Don't spoil the fun!" Avery yelled beneath her voice."Why did you have to yell?" Nicholas scowled."I didn't. I just have to maintain a voice you can hear with the high pitch noise in this tavern.""No one can hold his liquor better than me." A man with a gold beard and a loud voice bluffed after finishing a bowl of liquor."Did he really finish that?" Nicholas asked Avery."We are both watching Nicholas. Don't ask me questions like that. I'm still amazed." Avery glared at the dwarf."Let me prove it to you." Danika's solemn voice filled the room. Her actions brought more evidence to Nicholas.The eldest prince of the moonstone clan was the strongest liquor drinker in the whole of Arbedour until Danika challenged him and she won. Maybe that sums up the reason Elias hated Danika up till now."She behaves exactly like Danika." Nicholas la

    A VISIT TO HELL"Who is next!?" Young Danika screamed from the arena. Nicholas was proud of his best friend who hasn't turned but defeated those that have with ease. No one like her because of this and they are looking for a person that can shut her mouth - she hasn't stopped yelling and no one was cheering - Nicholas would have, but as the son of the alpha, he is expected not to take sides."I said who is next!!?" Danika bluffed until a huge man came on stage.This was not supposed to be so. He shouldn't be there at the moment. He was not expected to fight at all, but people wanted her to lose. Nicholas complained to Devon, but he didn't listen."Father, this is murderer. She hasn't shifted yet and she will fight with Kakuna? Even I can't take him on without getting serious injuries." Nicholas complained."No, this would be total fun. Don't you believe in your best friend?" He replied with a grin. Maybe this day was the day he stopped calling Devon, 'father'.ANNOUNCER: THERE IS THE

The men sat with the butcher who was almost done with the kill and talked about sports and the following day which was hunting.Nicholas was lost in their conversation about sports, but it is entirely different from what he knew back at home. Reginald showed the scar he got from racing on a wild horse and the butcher joked about the fact that he is always butchering or arranging the meat into a sack. Tables turned and it was Nicholas' turn."What about you?" Reginald tilted his head sideway. "Have you gotten any injury or scars?" He asked before Nicholas could reply. "I know you guys heal or you don't?""Too many questions." Nicholas scoffed. "Well, I have a scar, but it is a long story. It is from the sports, but not actually from playin
