Alexandros held a portrait close to his chest and gently caressed it. Audrey held her hands over her mouth to prevent her gasp from being heard. She watched in disgust as her portrait hung on the wall. She was smiling in all of them. She wondered when he had these drawn which only made her believe that he has been stalking and watching her for a while. Too appalled to stay there any longer she took cautious steps back and gently left the room.

She walked back to her room dazed and flopped on the bed. A lot of thoughts ran through her mind. What was Alex up to? Why does he have so many portraits of her? Why is he so creepy? Why does he weirdly look at her?

With a lot of questions and no answer, she decides to sleep on it. Gently her eyes got heavy and soon she fell asleep.

The rays from the sun escape into the room. Making Audrey stir in her sleep. She decides to wake up and check on Hercules.

Audrey is disoriented as she opens her eyes and realizes that she's no longer in the cab

    As Audrey quietly tiptoed towards the source of the voices, she could hear Alex speaking with an unknown person. The hooded stranger's face was not visible, but Audrey could hear his voice faintly. "I thought you said they would be easy to capture," the stranger said. "They are, but I need to keep a low profile. I can't be seen making any suspicious moves," Alex replied. "But as long as they leave Audrey for me, they are welcome to do whatever they want with the others." Audrey's heart sank as she listened to the conversation. She felt violated and betrayed by Alex's words. She was filled with fear her heart raced as she tried to process what she was hearing. She knew they were in danger, and that she had to warn the others. She decided to leave before she was discovered. She tiptoed back quietly. Then raced back to the Cabin. Audrey rushed into the house and saw Martin folding the dried cover clothes. He stood up immediately and walked up to her, "What's wrong? What's chasing you

    The pot was left to cook overnight. In the morning, Audrey rushed to the stove in excitement but Lucinda who was already up cautioned her against shaking the pot. "Not so fast, Audrey," she warned. Audrey turned around to look at Lucinda with disappointment. "Why? You said it will cook properly by morning," She asked. Lucinda came in from where she was gathering things for breakfast, walked in, and dropped the basket before sitting down. "The herb needs to sit for a while for it to be fully potent. Patience my dear is a virtue." Lucinda smiled. "So will it be ready?" Audrey asked. "Just after breakfast. Now come help me with these." she pointed at the basket. They worked in silence to prepare breakfast. After they had all eaten, Lucinda turned the extract from the pot into an open bowl and walked into Hercules's room with the rest of the group behind her. She sat on the bed and raised his head just as Audrey added a second pillow to make him comfortable. "Here you go, my dear,"

    The aura in the cottage changed from gloomy to happy. Hercules nods, looking over at Lucinda with a grateful smile. She moves towards him, placing her hand on his forehead to check his temperature. "You're doing much better, dear. The herbs worked wonders," Lucinda says, a proud gleam in her eye. Hercules nods again, his gaze drifting back towards Audrey. "I owe it all to her," he says softly, taking her hand in his. Audrey blushes, her heart racing as she looks down at their intertwined hands. She feels a mixture of emotions - relief that he is finally awake, happiness that he is okay, and confusion about how to handle their newfound closeness. May cleared her throat, breaking the tense moment. "Well, I'm just glad everyone's okay," she says, trying to lighten the mood. Martin nods in agreement, bending down to pick up the fallen dagger. "Yes, let's focus on moving forward from here."Lucinda claps her hands. "Yes! I have a few things to discuss with all of you. But first, let's g

    AUDREY POV Hercules and Martin discussed training schedule with I and May. We were excited to learn, I for one had always wanted to be able to defend myself. For faster pace training they decided to train us one on one so I would train with Hercules while Martin trains May. I came out to the front of the cottage where Hercules was waiting for me. He seem to have taken this training very seriously. I wouldn't blame him though, I know this was their last resort since they couldn't get their hands on fleets of soldiers. Martin and May were making use of the space at the back of the cottage. "The first thing you need to know is that you should plant your feet on the ground firmly no matter your stance." He said with a firm voice. I nodded as I took what I felt was an attacking stance. He walked over to me, using his legs he kicked at my right foot urging me to take it forward then he tapped on my shoulders for me to bend forward. "Fold your fist into a ball." He showed me his fist.

    The training continued for days and Audrey was beginning to do better. Hercules was impressed, he had used the standard he used in training his toughest warriors because he wanted her to be tough. May and Martin were in the cottage while Hercules came out in search of Audrey. She left immediately after dinner. He couldn't really mind link her or trace her scent because they weren't fully mated. He found it odd that an Alpha can sense and mind link every other person aside his own mate until they were mated and have marked themselves to full consummate the bond. He decided to go with his instincts which led him into the woods. Hercules searched the woods for Audrey and eventually found her sitting by a small river. He approached her carefully and sat beside her, admiring the beauty of the surroundings. "Hey," he said softly. "What brings you out here?" Audrey looked up at him and smiled. "Just needed to clear my head," she replied. "The woods have always been my refuge." Hercule

    Audrey jumped over every obstacle Hercules threw at her. She was training in her wolf form. "Now listen, and tell me what you can hear, but can't see." He instructed as he tried to sharpen her senses Audrey closed her eyes to concentrate but couldn't hear anything apart from the sound of birds chirping. "I can't hear anything," she growled. "Block out every distraction, focus your mind." He directed. Audrey closed her eyes, taking a deep breath and trying to concentrate on her hearing. She could hear the faint chirping of birds in the background, but nothing else. Frustrated, she opened her eyes and looked over at Hercules, who was watching her intently. "Just keep trying," he said, his voice encouraging. "Focus on the sounds around you." Audrey nodded and closed her eyes again, trying to block out everything else. She heard the wind rustling through the trees, and the distant sound of a deer passing by on the nearby road. She tried to tune those sounds out and focus on the o

    "Get a room you two, I don't want to see how my little sister is being intimate," Hercules said as he walked into the living room to find Martin and May cuddling on the couch. Martin and May looked up, their faces flushed with embarrassment, but they quickly composed themselves and laughed along with Hercules. "Sorry about that, Alpha." Martin said with a chuckle. May added, "We'll try to keep it out of you face from now on." She teased. Hercules shook his head with a grin. "You guys are hopeless," he said, plopping down on the armchair and grabbing bowl of nuts. They all settled into a comfortable silence, enjoying each other company. Hercules sat on the chair deep in thought, watching the ceiling. His mind wandered to Audrey, and he couldn't help but wonder if they could ever have what Martin and May had. He yearned to hold her close, to feel her body against his, and to show her the depth of his love. However, he was also torn with fear. Fear of overwhelming her with too much e

    ALPHA HERCULES I was shocked by her sudden boldness but soon took control and kissed her back. Breaking the kiss to catch some air. “I have waited so long for this." I whispered into her ears. "Me too," she replied as a blush crept on her cheeks "Are you sure about this?" I asked while caressing her lips not wanting to over play myself. She nodded, and kissed me again. She took of my jacket and dropped it on the floor. I grabbed her breast through the blouse and fiddled with her breast making her moan. I lifted her up and carried her up gently placing her on the bed. I kissed her again, my hand finding its way to her full breast. Gently pulling her blouse off I stood up to admire their beauty. They stood full and firm and fit easily into my large palm. I kissed the space in between her breast. Her moans only made me harder. She pulled me to her and turned us over with her now straddling me. Feisty! I like. She unbuttoned my shirt and took it off, leaned in and took my nipp

    And the battle begins. They all fight with all their might and soon Octavia's side is reduced to only her and Bradley. Everything was happening too fast that Bradley doesn't even know if he should trust Octavia with his safety. He wasn't sure he was actually prepared for the war. If there was going to be a battle, it should take long right? Preparation, tough fight but here , Bradley watched as his armies was all down with no one left. None of them even put a fight! They seemed all useless. "Didn't you say they won't be getting any help?! Well, it seems they got more help than I do." Bradley was furious as he sighted Hercules, May , Martin as well as Audrey approaching their side after defeating his team. "Don't be a baby and let me handle this." Octavia retorted pushing him behind her to stand in front. "You already lose Bradley.... Don't you think you should give up already while you're still alive?" That was Hercules. "He won't....

    "Alpha. I just got in a letter, apparently it had been sent 2 days ago but because of the wars and chaos, The messenger is just bringing it in." Hercules was getting ready since they would be leaving for his pack today. Martin was ready too, it was obvious and May and Audrey was no where around. "What does it say?"".... All the packs we've reached out for help that agreed suddenly turned us down. All of them""What?!" Hercules wasn't sure how he was supposed to react in such situation. He had been assured that those pack had agreed to help him win his pack back, why would they suddenly turn their back on him? "What's the excuse?!""None. But Alpha, perhaps someone left an information to Bradley that we were gathering help and they decided to send a threat to those packs?""That's absorb. Send for May and Audrey immediately."As Martin bowed and left the room Hercules was in , Hercules couldn't help but to pace up and down the room. The final war should be tomorrow! Tomorrow he wa

    Bradley paced his way about Octavia’s home, written with uncertainties over the force he had dispatched to track down Anna’s killer. Suddenly, the blinds were thrown open and a familiar face graced his presence. “Octavia! What news do you bring?” He asked as he awaited whatever, hopefully positive news, accompanied her entrance. “You have to relax Bradley.” She said as she sought to calm him in ready for what ever he had to tell. “Air pack is in disarray and the news of her death has spread like wildfire. I don’t know whether to mourn her or exact my revenge on every werewolf that lives in this pack because all of them seem to ravel in her death.” He replied her growing concern as he somewhat reached a conclusion. “What are you going to do Bradley?” Octavia asked as she sought to whatever it is his mind had decided on. “Whatever it takes to keep air pack in my name, I will do it.” He said as he exited her home and made for the palace. He left her to rue in whatever decision

    She met with their locked gazes, only managing to evade her sight the moment she turned.“Huh!” She sighed, in attempting to relieve herself from the strain of her mind-felt notion being proven wrong.As she comforted Eric, Isabella had tied a letter to the leg of a messenger bird and sent it flying. “Announce the horde’s return, and a celebration to be prepared in their honour to kick-off today’s victory.” She said as she looked to the bird’s heading in the direction of their destination.“Isabella!” Audrey called out to her, as this cased her attention to lift from the free bird.“Yes Audrey, we need to get going.” Isabella replied as her being snapped out of her mesmerized gaze on the bird allowed her recall the reason for tying the message the palace and community in the first place.“You can go on without me, I need to do something real quick.” Audrey said as she sought for Isabella to instead leave her.“Alright, but get to the palace quick before the celebration is underway.” I

    They all made towards the palace while the status quo remained as they had left it. Hours passed by and the celebration of the warlock’s freedom became more of a watered down consideration in comparison to the matter at hand.The warlocks hadn’t settled their controversies regarding the position of their new ruler. “Does this mean the resistance is taking over?” Some murmured. “No, it can’t be. We hailed Isabella as the new ruler.” Another set prided in their own earlier justification. “Isabella said it with her own mouth that her daughter is the new ruler.” A last set went on with their heart-felt truth. Contradictions arose over what they had been led to believe and without a constituted authority to address them, the horde almost fell into anarchy. The entire Warlock community would be in turmoil as different tongues telling separate tales would brew confusion on which would be true. Was there a leader, what would happen going foreword as regards how they would prosper. Th

    She felt accomplished, ecstatic in the sense. “You’re right.” She managed to speak while also accompanying it with a chuckle, an earnest smile and a tear. “Besides, i just lost a child.” She added. Ray and Raymond felt what she managed, they also read a sincerity into her every intention and leaned in on it to face the bickering lot of them. “...I don’t know what to decide...” Audrey lamented as Fay’s interruption brought her flaring emotions to a concise path. “Thank you! Audrey.” Fay interrupted, with the accomplished intention to Audrey was shocked, if not stricken with the sentiment in her words.She felt the deepened emotions attached to their conveyed gratitude over the freedom she had assured the warlock community.“I don’t really know what is going on between the rest of you, but I know I speak for everyone when I say this, we are glad you entered into the fold of our lives.

    His approach halted and his general motions seized. He had become locked in a binding magic that Isabella levitated him up to. “What are you doing to me Isabella?” Valentine asked, as his petrified self struggled to get a composed hold of his own constitution.“You will never harm my family again.” She declared.“How are you able to manage that when you couldn’t...?” The high mage said as he doubted her earlier attestation of not being able to heal Fay. His statement became interrupted by Isabella’s falling to the floor and beginning a series of panting. “Huh! Huh! Huh!” She let out gasps for struggles breath. With that, Audrey left Fay’s side and rushed to hers, holding her close. “Are you okay?” She asked as she cradled what little consciousness Isabella could muster.“Shouldn’t you be helping Fay?” Isabella asked.This caused Audrey to bow her head and turn from Isabella’s gaze as a resonating feeling of spite resurfaced.“There’s nothing I can do for her anymore, she lost the

    Suddenly, Fay began to fade in her consciousness and only Samantha somewhat caught notice of it, but before she could say anything as regards what she suspected, Audrey had shut her eyes and opened it in show of pure majesty.“I can do this.” Her voice echoed and her intention became revealed. It was now obvious that her intention all the while had been to gather her emotions and replicate the several she recalled giving to Hercules when he had also been in an unconscious state.“If that much time and focus tether with meagre broth could have cradled him back to my arms, then...” She began to proclaim as her hands drew light to itself and touched with Fay’s. “Then surely…” Her voice now contained a reverb. “This should be able to heal everything.” She concluded as her magic drew unto a single element that became accompanied by another.It was the water from the sash by her side that had been drawn on, as majestic as it was flowing with an earnest pace of nature.The air that encircled

    With this, Isabella came apart from her approach and preferred in that instant to instead heed to Fay’s condition. She hurriedly came to Fay’s side. “Fay, are you okay?” She asked as she took a firm hold on her hand. “She’s lost a lot of blood.” Samantha declared as she showed Isabella to her rendered state. “Call upon the goddess to intercede.” The high mage instructed as he revealed the acknowledged reason behind requesting Isabella’s presence in the first place. “I am too drained from my sustaining the ward to manage any of that right now.” Isabella countered his suggestion with a believable truth. “What do you mean?” The high mage asked. “There is no other meaning to be drawn form what she said.” Audrey said, as she stood to make towards and address the horde.“Audrey wait!” Isabella exclaimed, as she halted Audrey in her stead.“I think I should be the one to address them seeing as they are more familiar with me.” She added, as even from her sympathetic hold on Fay’s dwin
