It was your typical cafeteria which I think every high school had. So I didn’t feel awkward or out of place here. I bought some apple juice and yogurt and looked for a place away from everybody.I was still looking when I felt a tap on my shoulder. It startled me and I jumped only to come face to face with a smiling Einstein.“Lost?” he asked.“Not….really” I answered back.“I know you are looking for a place to sit, you can join us, see over there,” I looked in the direction he was pointing at and expected to see a bunch of nerds hanging out together. But they all looked pretty normal unlike the science genius Einstein here.“no it’s fine, I’ll find my place,” I said and motioned to move away when a slender girl walked up to me.“Hi, I am Sandra, you must be the new girl everyone has been talking about, sorry if maverick startled you, he does that sometimes,” she introduced herself in a friendly manner, she had a blunt bob hairstyle and her dark brown eyes looked trustworthy.I don’t
“Agh, he is a menace, to me and to everyone else, I have to control him when he gets out of the way, but if his wolf is out then I think only Alpha can control him,” Sandra told me. As soon as she mentioned Alpha my heart skipped a beat. I wanted to know more about him. To me, he was a bit of a mystery and I wanted to see the real guy who was behind all that.“Alpha looks really young, isn’t he?” I asked Sandra“Yeah, he is, so what?”“Well I have never seen an Alpha so young,” I said.“He is young but he has been through a lot and I doubt that he is young in his head, he is very powerful and magical,” Sandra told me, eyes wide.“How so?” I asked her.“You know he is the only wolf among us who can communicate with light, the moon tells guides him through the white light,” Sandra said.“The white light, what do you mean?” I had seen the light myself and was eager to know more so I acted as though I was hearing it for the first time.“You don’t know, it is very ancient, we all worship t
“You need to calm down girl,” she said with a smile.“So you forgive me,” I asked.“What’s there to forgive,” she said and then we hugged. After what felt like ages we finally let go of each other.“Listen, how you come down to my place, on the weekend, and I’ll make you something special and then we can discuss all Alpha and I’ll tell you all the juiciest tales of Alpha and the girls who like him.” She offered.I had to wait for the whole week, but it was better to gossip about that in Sandra’s house than in the school as I didn’t want any unwanted attention drawn to me.“you are going to make me wait a whole week, but I guess I don’t get any choice,” I said squinting my eyes at her.“I guess not, see you tomorrow, bye,” she said and walked away with a smile. I waved bye at her and turned with my head down, disappointed.“What the hell!” I smashed face-first into Maverick and hurt my nose. He was strongly built. I had tears in my eyes.“Oh so sorry dear, did I startle you?” Maverick
Alpha Ares POVI was desperately waiting for Beta to show up and give me today’s report. I stood by a large window in my office, looking outside at the vast greenery that lay in front of me. The trees were silent, which was a good thing but something in me was unsettling after what I had seen in the light. I needed answers to that. Damnit! Where was this Gennady?After a while I got bored by looking, it seemed the outside world held nothing of interest for now. So I returned my gaze to the dungeon door where secrets waited for me.I didn’t want to use my Alpha aura to summon Gennady, he could be in the middle of something. So with all options exhausted, I sat back down on my high chair, carved out of bones painted black, with etchings and markings of the ancient.I started working on the day-to-day tasks of managing the pack. I studied different official documents signed a few, assigning a pack family to different houses. But my heart was not in it.Then as I was shuffling documents a
Alpha Ares (POV) There was a soft knock on the door. “Enter,” I said. Gennady appeared from behind the door, he was covered with dirt, and I could barely make out his eyes. He walked with a limp. That was alarming. “What the hell happened to you?” I asked. “I’ll tell you everything, but first can I get a glass of vodka first please,” He said with a painful expression on his face as he sat down on the chair next to the main table. The chair gave a little squeak as he put his whole weight on it. “Ah”, he whimpered in pain. I didn’t ask any more questions and went straight to the cabinet in the corner of the room, and opened it, in there were all the exotic wines one could dream of but I what I was looking for was nowhere to be seen. At last, I located it behind a champagne bottle, quickly pulled it out, took out shot glasses, and poured one for Beta. He quickly took it from my hand and gulped it all in one go then proceeded to take the bottle from my hand and started drinking str
I stayed silent and sat on my high chair. I closed my eyes and looked through all the wolves through my Alpha aura, two lights were missing, it was Donovan and Jose. They had joined just last week and were in training, Gennady was supposed to show them the day-to-day patrol activities. They were not supposed to die. I had failed to protect them. I was the Alpha, how had I not foreseen it?Well, I did foresee the bloody streets, didn’t I? So it’s my fault.I opened my eyes with a jerk. A fire was running through my whole body and it only ended with one thing: blood. An eye for an eye. I was not going to let go of that. If they had indeed returned then they should realize who they are up against.“Gennady, stay put, and tell me where it happened,” I asked.“The north border,” he said without looking up. He was observing the little scar on his biceps.“Don’t worry about that G, they didn’t get you, you’ll be alright,” I told him.“Would I be?” Gennady finally looked up and said.“Go to y
“Fuck man, he was really strong,” one of the skinny ones said.“Yeah, I thought that I was almost a goner,” the other replied continuing on with changing his clothes and cleaning the blood.“Too bad Cera didn’t make it, we’ll get his body out at night, he’ll be just fine,” another said.“As long as they don’t burn him though,” the skinny one said.“Yeah that could happen, but we got them good man,” the bulky one said.“Hahaha, it feels so good to be back”“Well, I’ll love to take my house back, I heard fucking wolves living in there, it will be ours again, they won’t know what hit them, hahaha,”“Better change up quick we don’t want them to find out our hiding spot”“Relax we are safe from everything here, we got protection here, we are not in their territory”“But still it isn’t our territory either”“Damn you everything is our territory here”“Hurry up, we still need to get Cera’s body at night”I had heard enough, and what I deduced from it was for another time to think about, for
Ares came across a little hill and stumbled to a stop before the body of a dying Werewolf. The enormous beast lay on its side, intestines coming out from its chest broken and slit through. The Werewolf was vaguely skeletal in shape as if malnourished, with naturally long limbs that sprouted from his shoulders. The eyes were just empty sockets on his face.His face was as if it was made from bones, the skin barely existed on it. He had long gone on.Even after all these times, seeing a Werewolf dead up close made Ares feel the utmost disgust. The Werewolf was one of the biggest he had ever seen in his life, and he had seen many of them. He had seen dead werewolves before, and truth be told it hadn’t been pleasant.Of course, dying rarely was.He passed the creature, stepping more carefully on the battlefield. The woods were filled with trees and little various magical vegetation, natural pillars rising around him, and bodies littering the ground. Not a lot to be seen here except these
