Samantha’s POV.
Cervantes invited me over to the council's meeting; he had very impressive sorcery powers. Right there in my dormitory I could see everything going on at the meeting.
“I will introduce every one of them to you. You must be attentive”,
Cervantes had told me, he would teach me all I needed to know about wolves.
I never thought it would be like this. I thought he would hand some ancient books to me.
The gathering was more like that of humans, they sat like it was a board meeting. The table was almost filled up.
I noticed some people stood outside the meeting room while some walked in.
The last person was Alpha Herveuax. He was the only one I could recognize. He was with Fernando, the man that saved me but enslaved me in return. "How absurd!"
The kiss, I had with Alpha Herveaux found its way to my memory. I felt flutters in my heart.
Suddenly, the light was turned off. “Did they know we were watching them?” I asked Cervantes, because that could only explain why they turned off the light.
“NO!” “No questions until I ask you”. Cervantes was usually cold towards me, just like his voice sounds.
There were just two women on the table, the rest were men. “Are they also Alpha’s” I asked Cervantes, defying his orders of asking no questions.
“They are called Luna!” he responded. "So the female Alphas are referred to as Luna’s that cool".
Alpha Herveaux sat close to one of those women; I could not but notice that she also had a necklace on.
“She is Rudina, stay away from her anytime you are on that necklace” Cervantes said, sternly
I had a lot of questions but he just said I shouldn’t ask. He would have answered if he wanted to, "He can read my thoughts!"
“Rudina is the Luna of the Sun valley pack, that’s where Ashina hailed from. Her mating with Alpha Herveaux made the two packs bury their hatchets.”
Cervantes had begun the teachings on the wolves.
Rudina is beautiful. Looking at her, I can tell Ashina was also a beautiful goddess.
She had daring blue eyes, a long slim face, her smile was also a brace, her black hair with a silver line was neatly packed.
“Enough about Rudina! That is Drauglun, the Alpha of the Shadow Forge clan. He is the weakest of all the Alpha’s seated there".
The man looked otherwise to me. He had very large arms, his face was also scary, he had a red scar on his face, his eye colour also varied, the one on the right side with the scar was brown while the other one was red.
“Who is the strongest ? Alpha Herveaux?” I asked with curiosity. “NO questions!” Cervantes thundered.
The meeting finally commenced. They discussed a lot of boring issues but just when I was about to completely zone off, my attention was immediately reversed.
“The human dweller invaded, The Lycans prowler territory, do you still think he is worth the post of supreme leader?” The man with the scar on his face said.
It was that same Drauglun, now I hate him, so much for a weak man.
“They did not invade the territory, they were at the border” another man said, but his expression reeked of sarcasm.
“That is Alpha Lowell, leader of the winter moon pack, the youngest of them all. He became an Alpha at the age of eighteen. He is twenty, there now.”
All the wolves, looked young, maybe because of their mysterious power, but Lowell was different. He had the appearance of a teenager.
He was forward and full of strength, tall, dark skinned, he had short grey hair, his eyes were also grey in colour.
It turned into a mocking spree between Lowell and Drauglun.
Alpha Hervaeux was composed all through, giving no attention to them.
“He’s so matured and impressive” I said to Cervantes, who wasn’t moved.
“Let’s get down to business here, Alpha Herveaux. How long will you remain unmarried? More so, you still haven’t punished those who killed your Luna. Don’t you think it will give our enemies an edge?”
I was expecting Cervantes to introduce the man who had just spoken.
He had a different appearance from all of them, his face was covered with a piece of black clothes just his body alone, was seen, he wore a black tuxedo.
“Who is that?” I asked Cervantes curiously. “Calm down, watch for now”, Cervantes cautioned.
“You have no right to discuss my personal issues, I am the supreme leader and no one dare question my decisions!” Alpha Herveaux shouted in a rage.
It sent shivers down my spine, the words were echoing like those of a thousand men. Alpha Herveaux was annoyed.
“Not only him, it's Herveuax and Tristan his wolf, the perfect Unity”, Cervantes added. He wasn’t frightened.
"So the Tristan he was referring to at the bar was his wolf?"
“I will take over from here. No one should invade the human world!"
"No lone wolf should be allowed to stay or dwell in any of our packs, and lastly, every human that we have as slaves must first go through the elders!” Alpha Herveaux said.
The expression on all of their faces was clear. They respected Alpha Herveaux.
“It's not him they respect. It’s the Lycans Prowler Pack’s legacy”, Cervantes said,
I knew he didn’t really like Alpha Herveaux, but he rarely praised anyone.
“What is Lycan? What legacy do they hold that could make them respect him?”
“Not now. The time will come. For now you will get prepared.” Cervantes was annoying me. He always had little or none to say.
“What should I get prepared for?”
Alpha Herveaux POVThe leader of the Lycan Prowler Pack.I stood on the terrace in my mansion, thinking about everything that had happened so far.I saw someone very familiar that night; she looked so much like Ashina. My wolf was also consoled, he wasn’t as furious as he used to be when I met with other women.“You should heal faster, Tristan.”Tristan is my wolf. He loved Ashina more than I did. I noticed it only after she was mated to me.The day before Ashina was murdered he was restless. If only I gave into his feelings, I could have saved her.Tristan gave out a loud growling cry. “I’m here, Alpha. You called for me”“Sit Fernando!” Fernando is my beta and right-hand man. He had been with my father before he died. He entrusted me to his care. Though Fernando was older than me, he served me as a beta, should serve his alpha.“Do you think the last attack was truly by the earth-dwellers and not the Lone wolves?” I asked Fernando.There have been frequent attacks on our neighbori
Samantha’s POV Never in my entire life did I think I would become a teacher. Cervantes' plan for me was to go in as a sub teacher to a school. Whatever plan he had for me was already so fun, but so bad it's not my style. “Don’t forget your name Auriel, You are a hybrid". "That would be used if anyone questioned you. I made sure your coast would be clear of any interrogation”. Cervantes was perfect at whatever he did, just a few days of knowing him and I have been so overwhelmed. “Which school am I going to? I am dressed up and I am ready to go”, I asked in anticipation. “Brighton high school, it’s the only prominent mixed school in this place. You don’t have to worry. I have settled it all. I would drop you off at the school.” We arrived at school, it sent a weird feeling all over my body. I always hated school as a kid. “Good morning, ma’am” I said to the principal, she wasn’t welcoming. “Are you the sub I requested for” she asked rudely. “Yes ma'am, I am the sub” I said a
Alpha Herveuax.POV.“How do I tell Tala, Nanny Veruska is dead?” I asked Fernando. I knew he was less interested, but I had no one to turn to.“Get her a new one, Alpha, I need to go somewhere important” he, requested for permission to leave.I was working on getting a new nanny, with the new lady I met today. If she shows up, she would be the one to take over. I’m ready to do anything as long as she agrees to take care of Tala.“You can’t leave now, we need to talk about Veruska’s murder” Fernando stayed back.“Take a seat. Every other thing can wait”“Yes Alpha” he responded. When we were at school, he called to tell me she had been murdered. I rushed there to see for myself.“That wasn’t a suicide this time, it was clearly murder.”“Yes, Alpha" "You have to act now, so you won’t be considered as weak. If this gets out to the public, not even your pack will be saved.”“What do you suggest I do?”“Meet with our elders” Fernando said, like he had the answers before I asked.“Fine. su
6. Alpha Herveaux’s P.O.V “Something just doesn’t seem right about this girl. Right from that night, up to this moment, we are meeting again.” “What do you think, Tristan? Can you smell her?” I pressed myself against her small body to the wall. “Stop!” She managed to say. Carefully, pushing me off from her. “I want to flirt with you a little. Before we get down to business” I said to her, I knew I sounded cold and a little unruly. My words put her out of place, making her snap back into reality. She adjusted her clothes. They fitted her perfectly even though it was a bit messy. ”Tala, wants you to be her nanny!” “I have been contemplating, should I take you by force or please you?” I said to her, drawing her closely into my arms. I noticed she had been avoiding eye-to-eye contact with me. “My time is wasting, young woman. Do you want me to please you? Or take you by force?” It looked like she was talking to someone before she could answer me. “I will think about it” she rep
Samantha’s POVI woke up very early. This place looks so good, but strange. Sleeping with my two eyes closed was scary. The nonstop growlings at night and weird cries emanating from the room upstairs, everything was just crazy. Not to think I was calling Cervantes the crazy one. What Cervantes did last night was crazy though. He interrupted every discussion I had with Herveaux last night.”How do I live up to the lies you have made me tell the Alpha?” I asked Cervnates. “Why are you silent? This is just the beginning as I see it!” I added anxiously. It was unlike Cervantes to not reply to my questions on time.“I can not feel his presence too”. I was a bit worried and perplexed.“Our Beloved Alpha request your presence “ Someone said outside my door. “Why can't they knock and come in?”.“Our Beloved Alpha request your presence!” The voice repeated louder. “I have heard. I need to change my dress and put some make-up on at least”, I had to reply. “You have to come out now. You do not
Daciana’s POV.I went in to see Herveaux after a long time. “I believe I have respected Ashina enough!” He wasn’t in a good mood. Even if the world sees that emotionless face. I Dacaiana, knows Herveaux the best. “Don’t you miss me?” I said to him as he sat on his golden chair. He wasn’t expecting to see me. I fell into his arms, deliberately kissing him out of the blue. He wanted it also. “Dacaiana, you shouldn’t be here” he said to me, still not pushing me away. I wasn’t offended, he just accepted my kiss. “How long, Herveaux?” I said to him angrily. “Watch your tone lady. I’m still the Alpha here” he responded. “And I am your Luna to be!” I replied him. “You should respect me Dacaiana” He moved closer to me, making me kiss him intensely. “The Herveaux I know never loved a weak woman. Disrespect from a strong woman turns him on!” I said seductively. It was going all as planned until someone interrupted. I felt like ripping the life off the person. “Who Is there?” Alpha herve
Samantha’s POVAlpha Herveaux's wife just died recently and he is already with another woman. He is a womanizer. That’s why he kissed me on our first meeting. I feel so stupid for pitying him. That woman just tried to kill me. At least he saved my life. But who could she be? I tried making Tala leave the pool but she begged for a few minutes more until we ended up staying for an hour or even more. I was deep in thoughts though. I heard footsteps approaching. “Its father and mother’s friend”, Tala said, still playing in the water.He questioned me for keeping his daughter out there. I was mad at him. But Tala made him leave us alone somehow. Something strange happened between me and Dacaian as she tried removing my necklace, a strange force blew her away from me. I just couldn’t explain it. A man came saying my uncle was here for me. “Cervantes puts me in trouble but he’s here to save me on time.”I do have a problem with this woman insisting on following me to see my uncle. I too
Alpha Herveaux’s POV.“Do you want to change your mind, Alpha Herveux?” Fernando asked me. I wasn’t changing a thing. I was sure of that scent. It wasn’t that man. That man was just a mere distraction to stop me from following that strong scent I heard. “We will go ahead with our plans” I said to Fernando. I wanted to meet with a strong sorcerer. He was once an elder in the Sun Valley pack. He left angrily after an undisclosed dispute between he and his people. “Do you know how we can find him?” I asked Fernando. “Yes, Alpha, I just feel you should let Luna Rudina know about it”. He responded. I am free to do things on my own and she might misinterprete me also. “Why don’t we wait for the prophecy Alpha Herveuax?” Fernando asked. I knew he cared about my status, but now, my reputation is at stake. “I have to prove everyone wrong that my father was wrong about making me the Alpha”, I said to Fernando angrily. “We are here, Alpha” Fernando said, he stopped the car at a dead point w
SAMANTHA’S POV. ONE YEAR LATER. His broad hand drew me into his arms with a tight hug that i felt in my soul. "Happy birthday, my beloved Luna," his coarse, seductive voice whispered in my ears."Hmmm," I heaved, still pretending to be asleep. He placed a small box beside me. "I want to go to the bath; will you join me? I know you’re awake," he uttered. He took off his clothes, and I fell in love with him all over again. It was my birthday again, a day I have regretted and wished never came just because of that unforgettable night. Alpha Herveaux changed that. It became a day I now look forward to."So what’s my first gift?" I asked him jokingly. "Me!" he coerced seductively. "What else can I ask for? Can I have you now?" I can’t wait to see his expression when he finds out I am pregnant with his child. "That night a few months ago, I thought you left; I would have been miserable without you. Thank you, Samantha," he uttered as he made out with me.He carried me down to
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.I rolled to the other side of the bed, expecting a push or a sound, but none was forthcoming; Auriel had left. It sent me a bewildering, intense feeling of sadness that swept all my happiness away."Don’t be sad; she probably went for the kill; only she can defeat Falcon," I consoled Tristan. If it turns out otherwise, then I’ll just go with the flow. I am back to full strength. Before Sunrise reveals its glory, I will go and defend the city. It won’t go down with me alive.She left the clothes she had picked out for me to wear at the extreme edge of the bed. She still cares, but maybe as a friend and not as my Luna.The clothes seemed like camouflage. There was no way I could hide without getting spotted or noticed; it was pointless hiding or wearing camouflage. I got dressed and was ready for the kill. I stepped out, and a smile returned to my face when I saw the moon. I growled. It meant she was still around. "I hope she sees me before leaving," I wished o
SAMANTHA’S POV. My heart fluttered watching him sleep soundly like a baby. His heart was beating slowly, and his face had a mild smile. "I am his peace," I muttered, blushing uncontrollably. "I’m sorry, my love, I’ll have to leave before you wake up. Just let’s stay alive all through. I really can’t decide now." I whispered and kissed him goodbye.I didn’t care if I would make it or not, but my love for him and his children was driving me to my peak."Avayah, Valerie, we are going to find Falcon and kill him. Easy, right?" I asked them jokingly. I tiptoed out of Ashina’s house so Herveaux would continue his sound sleep. The only place on my mind where I felt I could find Falcon was at Derrick’s mansion, the same place where Alpha Herveaux was held hostage. The mansion was miles away from the house. I wondered what made Ashina come this far and live there alone; not even Herveaux knew of the place. "Thank you, Avayah; you led me there, right?" I shifted like a pro as I ra
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.The wavering sounds of the waters at the sea stirred my eyes to open and my soul to awaken. Still in pain, I struggled to get up on my feet. "Hey, just lie down there; you’re still hurt."The voice I had always wanted to hear spoke to me. I beamed with a smile and fell back onto the bed. She hurried up to meet me."Herveaux, are you with me?" She asked worriedly, holding my hands. She placed my hand on her face. It still felt like a dream. I never knew she’d return to me. Especially now that I needed her the most."Samantha?" I murmured tiredly. "Yes, it’s me; I am here," she responded. My hands found her blonde hair, and I flicked them away from her face. "You’re beautiful," I said to her, smirking."I know there is no time to waste; tell me what to do; how can I heal you?" she asked instantaneously. She dragged me up the wall so I could rest my back. "Where is this place?" I asked anxiously. I had never been there, and it was pleasant. "It Belonged to
SAMANTHA’S POV. Gwendolyn helped me pack my bags. She was skeptical about it at first, then I was the one eager to leave."Will you tell your father about it first? Have you made any plans?" She asked me carefully. "None for now. I have been trying to call Alpha Draglun, but he isn’t responding. Do you think he’s also caught in this?" I asked her concernedly. "Keep calling, he might answer before you get there. Your father is not home right now. I will just tell him when he returns," Gwendolyn responded impatiently. I sat down on the bed tiredly. "Why are you acting like this?""Don’t tell me you’re backing out or having second thoughts, okay let’s do this, if the thing get out of your control, just say goodbye and come back to us, how about that?" Gwendolyn asked. Gwendolyn was done packing my bags. She collected the cellphone from me and put it inside. "So how do you get there? You’re not going by car, right?" she asked confusedly, and it made me blush. "Partly by ca
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV. The dangers of the night were out; the whole place was dark and sneaky. Not a single soul was around. The whole place was dark, and the absence of the moon didn’t go unnoticed. For once, I doubted the information Brenda gave me. It came so easily; just a few minutes after she left me, she returned overhead and came to me. "I don’t mind; I have no other choice," I said loudly to myself to stop the non-stop pondering in my mind. I checked the whole area. The woods, underneath, and even the sea that was nearby, but there is no sign of anyone there. "I will wait a while and leave if no one shows up," I coerced. I checked the paper she gave me again. "It’s here; I definitely am in the right place. Where are you hiding my children, Falcon?" I whispered, still searching. "Right here!" he responded with a wild roar. He threw Miranda’s body down from the tree. "Damn you, Falcon, I knew it!" I groaned painfully. She was still alive but writhing in pain."Don’t wor
SAMANTHA’S POV. He was dressed in the prisoner’s uniform. It suits him really well. "I still can’t believe I once liked men that looked like him," I whispered into Gwendolyn’s ear."You’ve said that before, okay? Thanks to Herveaux, you got to know there were better men than he was," she snapped.Lorenzo was called up, and he was sitting right in front of me. He was sad and teary. "I will have my revenge, Lorenzo; I really can’t wait to crush you and end your life; no one will save you from me," I said to him."I will take whatever punishment you give me; please spare my wife and our innocent baby," he pleaded with me. He fell on his feet and held onto my legs.I kicked him off angrily. "The police, you can’t assault him," Gwendolyn pulled me back."Dummy, I tipped them off; I am Samantha Eduardo!" I replied, laughing loudly, and continued kicking him. "I will kick them out of that house and throw them into the streets. You did the same to my innocent father, so why can’t I do th
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.Fernando fought against me with all his might, and I realized he wouldn’t stop until he was dead. I stopped fighting him. "I did you no wrong! I need to go save my children. I will kill you this time if you attack me again," I said to him."No, you will have to go through me!" he growled wildly. "You’re not in control Fernando, you can still get yourself back; I don’t want to kill you," I pleaded, ready to give up everything. It hurt so much to see the man who raised you like a father ready to kill you. I know he wasn’t as powerful as I was, but living with the guilt of killing him would be hard on me. "I forgive you for everything you’ve done against me, even though you think I was the one who offended you!" I yelled. "You were ready to choose another Beta and shamefully disperse me; you never trusted me; you handed over the throne to your brother; you could have promoted me to Alpha!" he grunted.It sounded so odd. I never knew he wanted to become Alp
SAMANTHA’S POV. I snuggled my body meekily under the tender, silky cover on my bed. My back ached so bad, but it’d turn into a soothing pain as I starched on the bed.My normal routine before sleeping started, whereby I had to think about every disgusting thing I did that day and even years ago, blame myself, praise myself a little, and have a mixture of regrets."Did I do the right thing with Alpha Draglun?"I shunned him. I could have just said NO politely, but I said it in a rage. I just hope he understands that I don't want that life anymore. Alpha Herveaux is the strongest man I know, and I believe he can fight off whoever threatens his pack. Moreover, He places it on a high pedestal, so he’ll never watch it fall."I just hope my thoughts are right," I said, thinking out loud. Like usual, I fell asleep without knowing it; all I knew was that I felt peaceful with a great ache in my heart that I refused to acknowledge.I felt a soft, hairy hand on my face. "Alpha Herveaux,"
