Alice's Pov,I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Isac had been acting strange around me lately, and it was making me uneasy. I tried to brush it off, telling myself that it was just my imagination, but the nagging feeling wouldn’t go away.Ever since I learned about what he does in secret. I kept finding more traits of Isac that was unbecoming of the alpha I knew. Sometimes I felt relieved, it proves to show that even our great alpha was not perfect.It all came to a head during a pack gathering when Damien and I were chatting by the fire. I felt Isac’s eyes on us, and when I turned to look at him, his expression was dark and intense.“What’s going on, Isac?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm.“Nothing,” he replied curtly, but I could tell he was angry.I didn’t want to push the issue, so I turned back to Damien and tried to resume our conversation. But the tension between us was palpable.A few minutes later, Isac came over and sat down next to me, his arm around
Isac's POVIn my role as the alpha, my foremost duty entailed safeguarding the welfare and security of every pack member.However, as of late, my focus had been entirely fixated on Alice. I couldn't control the depth of my sentiments for her—the symphony of her laughter resonating in my ears and the luminosity that danced within her eyes when she spoke.Yet, my emotions became entangled in complexity due to the presence of another suitor within the pack.Damien, our beta, had increasingly been devoting his time to Alice. Each time I witnessed them together, a pang of jealousy surged through me. I acknowledged the irrationality of my possessiveness—Alice did not belong to me, and I possessed no entitlement over her. Nevertheless, the mere thought of her involvement with another caused an unsettling discomfort within me.On an evening when we congregated around the blazing fire, I noticed the way Damien gazed at Alice—a look that teemed with admiration, adoration, and perhaps, something
Isac’s POV“Damien, there are levels to madness,” I warned him, already feeling threatened by the sight of what Damien has done and what he was about to do.Threatened, yes; scared, no. throughout my life I had dealt with different obstacles: rogue wolves, pack invasions, moles, con artists, and even wizards, hence, this was not any different from my usual challenge as Alpha. At least on a combat level it was not.However, on closer inspection of the situation, it was not quite difficult to tell that this had a whole new level of difficulty. Usually, if a traitor was to be found in a pack, they would either be killed or worse, expelled, howbeit, I wanted none of that for Damien seeing that he was not a traitor by will. It was my own actions and words that had led to his mutiny. I tried to reach out to him again“Damien! I understand your anger, I understand your rage, I understand your wrath. But consider the options. Tell your wolves to stand down and go home, and things would not ge
She once even said that she was my mate, a rumour that spread like fire in a bush of hot summer dried leaves. Females who had had their eyes on me felt threatened and some of them left, worse were the males who had had an eye on her felt threatened too and left leaving the pack a few soldiers and hunters short.I had puished her by giving her time in the dungeon but that did nothing to taint her spirit. She remained loyal.Samantha’s swerved her head towards me and caught my eye with a bright twinkle in them. I knew what she wanted – permission to deliver the final blow on Damien.He was weak from the fight, but even more so, he was naïve to attempt the takeover. When Damien was still my Beta, Samantha gave him the upmost respect and admiration for his position, but here she was, about to uphold a sacred pack tradition of killing the traitor. And I knew that she would have done it easily, should I have allowed it, but seeing that I disapproved, she was going to back down.Or was she?
After staring at Alice to my fill to which there is no actual gauge, I decided to walk up to her. As I did I just that, I realized that I had made another mistake I usually won’t make – waste time. If a pack member was lost and I went to search for them, I would normally waste no time in bringing them back here as the open world was fraught with all kind of dangers and the safest place for the pack would obviously be in the Abode.Alice did not notice my arrival until I got too close to her and sat beside her. “Hey?”Alice does not speak a word. In fact, she does not even as spare me a glance through her side eye. She just keeps her attention focused on the sand. In front of her folded legs, she had drawn the pictorial depiction of a scary wolf. The wolf looked a lot like Samantha’s own.Two things came to mind: first, she was feeling sorry for what she had done to Samantha and was hoping she did not die or second, which was the most likely option of the two, was feeling jealous as sh
Isac's PovAs everyone went into their Abode, I could tell that there was still a lingering sense of unease. Damien had been dragged off and Alice had retired back to her dwelling with the rest of the pack leaving just me and the Three White Wolves, the ones that acted as interim guard, manning the entrance that led to the Abode.“Alright, boys. Off you go,” I said to the three of them.“There was a fight. I believe you are aware?”“Yes, Alpha.”“There would be other Alphas looking for territory, there would be rogue wolves searching for honour and an adventure to make a name from. Make sure you deal with them ruthlessly.”“Yes, Alpha.”“Good. Now off you go.”All three men transmuted into the white wolves from which they go their name while, I, the Alpha in the pack retired to my dwelling. On my way there, a very familiar voiced called out to me.“Why so conflicted, boy?” It was Aariv, the oldest member of the pack. He was so old he had seen three separate Alphas of this pack. Me bei
“I know. I can’t really relate but I know it must be hard,” she said. I could tell that she wanted to say some more but was holding it back. I did not know how to urge her to go on so I just reached for her arms and held them. Then she continued. “I know I’m am just a service wolf and I don’t fight, or hunt that much or deal with pack affairs but I feel you need to take a break.”“How am I supposed to do that?” I asked in confusion. “My duty lies here with the pack I cannot go off to some vacation island or anything.”“I’m just saying, why don’t you start with the most obvious distraction?”“Are you talking about Alice?” I really did not know why Minnie would want to talk about Alice with me but I felt oddly comfortable to talk about her with Minnie. Maybe she was right. Maybe all I needed was a quick distraction that would distract me from the distraction which would in the grand scheme, bring me back on track as the leader I once was and I have always been.Weirdly enough, or perhap
Alice’s POVIt was cold as ice. I really did not know why I was surprized or what I had expected but I definitely did not expect the lowest point in a cave to be this cold. I thought they always had to be hot as hell because their depth did not accommodate fresh air. But it turned out that was only half true but completely false for this one. It was freezing cold. Little wonder why guards down here wore coat when in human form or just stayed in wolf form, though that had its limit.I sat on the floor to rest my tired legs but stood up immediately. The ground too was unwelcoming. There was no way I was not going to freeze my rump; not now, not today, not ever. I had earlier snuck into the donjon in pursuit of Damien after Isac had dismissed us all. Safe to say I did not obey that order but he did not seem to notice. If anyone had noticed, they did not care much about it because no guard came running after me, nor did I hear anyone say anything concerning my whereabouts. I had come back
It was over it was finally over the long war had been put to an end everything would return to normal after this Alice chanted in her heart as the spell broke and she was released from Albert’s body he coiled at the far end of the forest it seemed it took a lot out of him he had helped although last minute he had come through for them releasing control to a person not more the creatures you dislike Emelia changed her form and rushed of to her mate, tears flowing down her cheeks in quick successions unto Lucas she held unto him tighter Alice looked away for she could not bear to recount how many wars she had lost, gathering her bag she walked deeper into the forest, it would take a while before all the realm heard of the battle that occurred so she would be fine for even a few hours sitting at an empty spot where dead flowers were scattered around, she wept for everything she had overcome staying at the spot with her head in her arms she calmed herself, suddenly she heard someone clear
“So you where the one after all” Alice spoke“How?? Did you know…what??” Albert asked in shame at his cover been blown “ I might be clueless to a lot of things but I am not shallow did you think I would believe that the monster was only one the LANTROPAC are a group of demons who travel in groups of ten or more you must imagine how surprised I was to find out that only one had been there pure instance you might say I also belied that too not until I took a walk down the forest to grab some herbs then I realized it but suspicion with proof was worthless so I gathered enough your nonchalance to blood although being a creature yourself the glee of pleasure every time battle arose as though you were ready for a kill but never truly fighting and cowering in what I would pretend to say is mock elusiveness you are not as elusive as you think dear Albert in a while kingdom and only one survives, of course, they choose to save their king as they all perish and he worries not for them for if h
“I can manipulate the mind and a few will agree that I can read the past as well a little bit of resistance to it would cause some discomfort and I must admit it has been a while since any mind gave me a struggle it is nice to have a little challenge ever now and then, now on to business at dawn you shall depart west the truth you serk us there or at least a guide wouldn't you say so Albert you are after all from the west realm" she replied while biting on some pie.“we shall head north as instructed we hope to trust your words” Alice spoke. In conviction with a silent nod at the table they broke bread eating in silence .Alice knew the danger she gas decided to embark on lena had powers in the north most of her demons dwelled north they would have to fight tooth and nail if they are to ever reach the north. She would not allow her win sighing in displeasure at Albert she groaned he had not been if much help you them so far in fact if they where to be honest he was more cowardly and
Alice arrived at the first destination which was a small carven, a bar to be more exact with a long sigh the gang went in. It looked like the typical inn creatures drunk out of their mind with several long mugs making said perverting remarks at the female who served them drinks yes it was the typical stop place looking around for an empty table they found one at the far end of the inn all nodding in agreement they took a slow stride to the table taking their sits they got to it. ”so far they have been no suspicious movement this looks to be the typical inn but open your eyes closer boys at the far end it seems only a few creatures are using that door and the giant at the front door why was he positioned at the door everything coming from that part looks suspicious.” Emelia raved “ I believe we should send two solders to check the back so as to camp out on and map out the area” Lucas added Alice replied this new piece of information with a nod two warriors immediately stood up and w
“Alice… Alice!, are you in there my dear it has been but a while since the rain stopped and you have been in your room all morning dear” Mr. Gerald spoke knocking once more for Alice“Yes father, I shall come out soon” Alice replied dashing off to her window she could see that the sun was finally out to play sighing with content she walked to her dresser picking up her cloak, a pouch of hidden spices and her mother’s spell book she walked into the kitchen her father as always was carving some sort of wood into something different he called it his own masterpiece…”father I shall head out to the fields I will be back soonest, once I return I shall be leaving at dawn papa I need to go back to my troops another war is coming and I would not want to be unprepared “she spoke “Return first my dear “ Mr. Gerald replied absent minded Taking up her boots Alice walked out and headed towards the fields a simple spell would have gotten her there faster but on a day like today walking was the sol
Alice “How dare you?” she spat you shall all pay for doing this she rose up with her hands in the air she casted her first spell “ sabtagos min paria” a storm like cloud formed around them understanding the spell and it’s significance Alice casted a spell at the nick if time “Recardonez un raptez “ dust like cloud covered the clouds as they turned to dust and where returned back to camp things did not turn out as hoped they all knew it the from faces of all the warriors where something to look by on she has failed her coven her clan and her people she needed so time alone to herself a moment to think of what next to do Lena was now a new witch with an agenda for revenge a new witch was dangerous on their own without a reason for control they where practically unstoppable, now Lena was one of those thriving in her new powers she would continue from where her mother stopped who knows even extend her hands to the rest of the realms facing Sabrina was one thing she was evil she killed t
A light groan could be heard coming off from the bed in the center of the room“Alice!” “Alice !” she’s waking up ….”Adrian go find Emilia hurry” Lucas yelled as he rushed off “Where am I” Alice asked in surprise looking around she realized she was home again or at least she hoped she was but seeing Lucas confirmed she truly was home her eyes watered to finally be back home whatever she saw a dream or reality she could still not understand but being in the arms of her friend she was safeHasty footsteps rushed into the room Alice was meet with the teary eyes of Emilia as she rushed to the bed and embraced her tightly both lost in each other’s embrace time seemed to come to a standstill as the men where asked to excuse Alice for a moment in other for her to change and refresh herself, “what happened to me Emilia” Alice asked With resolve and unhappiness Emilia recounted the events that occurred while Alice laid asleep“it was after the fight with the seven witches which had surroun
Alice“Alice stop spacing out and have your meal” her father spoke “Am sorry dad “ Alice replied back almost immediately “It’s all right sweetheart, I know the unexpected move must have taken quiet the toll on you and I haven’t been the best at sharing feelings your mum was better at this” her father confessed“no dad you’re a great father, it is I who haven’t given you an opportunity mummy’s gone and I need to grow past this and move on with you am sorry for the way I reacted yesterday. I still have u and you are a great dad” Alice replied “thank you Alice I appreciate the fact that you apologized taking you away from school and all your friends and what your used to. The tantrum was the least you could have done to make me upset” her father replied “so what am I going to be doing at home all day now that we are on the run” Alice sassed “ no young lady you are not going to be doing anything at home because you are going to be starting school tomorrow and you are going to partici
Alice“Argh!!’ She screamed."Alice calm down this is you, you are the one controlling it take deep breaths it is your emotions that are reflecting come on, Alice hold it in and command it to close. now Alice!"Alice stood still taking her hands towards the book she commanded it to close immediately the book closed it pages and the room returned to stillbess once again. " what just happened" Alice replied shakily " your mother and I thought we could stop it. We thought we could help you and shut you away from such powers now look what we've done you can't escape destiny, I should have realized that soon enough now Alice your powers have awakened I can't protect you anymore. They know you are alive you need to leave now" her father replied Alice watched in apprehension as her father took the stairs straight to his room waiting for a bit before deciding to follow him "that book in my library had been closed for over ten years I tried almost everything to get rid of it, it reminded m
