chapter 6

Cadel 

"We camp here for the night!" Sean, my beta commanded. We had been marching since dawn. The road to the dwelling of the Desma pack wasn't this far but due to the fact, that we are attacking them unannounced, we wanted to take them by surprise.

"Cadel, we will leave at sunrise" one on my men told me and I nodded. As I stood watching the mountains and the bits flying around, I remembered how I felt yesterday. I couldn't shake the shock of my brother's face the moment I told him my plans. 

"Brother, what do you mean that you want to take over the Desma pack? I mean you just went there yesterday?" Hercules asked me. I stared into his eyes as he pleased with me to make him understand my motive. 

"I want to do a hostile take over on the Desma pack. The Volcans have strong men which would complete our army." I said looking away. I lied. I didn't want to tell him the real reason but I too couldn't believe it. 

"yes I know we do not control a big amount of army but that is not what we need right now" Hercules said. 

"Trust me on this brother. I have a purpose and of which I would achieve. Please trust me" I said looking into my brother's eyes. I did that to gain his trust because this was something we did when he were honest and wanted support. Though the sad truth was that I wasn't. 

As my mind kept wandering around like a demented creature, it still couldn't be at peace after what I had seen yesterday. I heard that things happen to people and of which, they get a hint from their dream. Some believe in theirs dreams while others didn't but recently my opinion had just changed. 

Right from the time I had been little, I had better a sad boy but that changed when I began having these weird dreams. In my dream, I would see a little girl come around to play with me. We would play all kinds of games and when I woke up, I would be in a better mood. At some point I was happy. This dream or rather this girl kept coming

to me in the dream. She comforted me when I was sad, and made me smile harder when I was happy. She was like my little pastime. It got to a point that I would deliberately sleep, just to see her. She kept coming to me until I turned 23 years. The day I slept but I couldn't se her was the day I began loosing every inch of me. I lost myself and my sense of good will. It's been 5 years since l last saw her. And ever since then, my mood has greatly changed. I get easily irritated. I snap at anything and everything. All these and more contributed to the my character change after I was made Alpha. 

After that,I had ruled out the fact that I would see her in my dreams. Though that didn't stop me from missing her. 

Yesterday at the Desma pack, I was trying so hard to not get bored. Jesse, the daughter of the Alpha was so annoying. She kept batting he eyelids like one who had something stuck in her eyes. Suddenly I felt the need the turn because, I was getting this feeling that someone was watching me. The moment I turned, I saw her. 

I saw the girl of my dream stare at me. At some point she turned red. She was blushing. 

I did so well to hide my surprise. I couldn't believe that people could jump out of your dream, down into real life. I just couldn't believe it. So I kept staring. It felt like she wasn't real and could disappear any moment. I heard them call to her and found out that her name was Malia. I said her name once more and loved the way my lips moved, lived the sound of it. That was when I made up the plan to touch her. The Moment I did, I felt that strange of energy towards her. Judging from the look in her eyes, I knew she too felt it. 

When we got home, my emotions were erratic. It was all over the place. I snapped at everyone who came close enough. I didn't know what to do. After a lot of thinking, I

decided I had to get her to me, and she needs to start talking. And the only way to which I could do that was to attack the Desma pack. 

************************************************************************************ Malia 

After I had that dream, I couldn't sleep. No matter how hard I tried. It was still 3am and everywhere was dead quiet I looked around me to see, my fellow maids all sprawled on the follow like snakes. Then I had some sort of with for them. 

The day had not yet begun but they were already in the dark. When shit hits the fan, I wondered where these girls would run it. Then I made a decision to let my pack members know. Although at first I was indifferent to the attack because the people of the Desma pack treated me like scum but then for the sake of these innocent maids and also for Alpha Edward. These were the only people who needed saving. I made up my mind to go see Alpha Edwards at once. 

The day began and I washed and dressed up. Celia my friend, asked me where I was headed. Then I begged her to cover for me. 

"Malia what will I say to Jesse. You know she is not only stubborn but she is wicked. She would throw tantrums if she doesn't see you" Celia asked. 

"Okay. I'll tell you" I said. I went ahead and told her of my dreams and how I feel that the people of the Desma pack were in danger. 

"huh?" she said. She raised an eyebrow at me and stared at me like I had developed two heads.

"Don't look at me like that Celia. I know what I am saying. I have that feeling that something bad is coming" I said as I pleaded with her to under me but it felt like she couldn't see the pleas in my voice and eyes. 

" The Faulkners never attack a pack that hasn't wronged them and…" 

"and packs they want to take over. They did that to the flawless clan last month, don't you remember" I said. That was what shut her up. She stood there. 

"Celia do you now get what I am saying?" she nodded. I kissed her on the cheek and ran off. There was no time to waste. I have to get to the Alpha ASAP. I walked to Alpha Edward's office but he wasn't there. That meant that he was not in. So I sat on the step and waited. As I sat, I could see the stares the guards were giving me but I was unperturbed. I had a message to give and I would not rest until u have Done that. 

"Hey you!" I turned to find a guard behind me. He looked extremely huge. The Volcans were known to have the best security and army of fighters. Luckily for the Desma Pack, they rarely made use of these army Because they were cowards. They would rather suck up to their enemy than say the Truth. 

This stance helped them a lot to prevent fights but it caused little wars in the pack. Most of the time, Desma pack had little or nothing to eat, because a pack comes and takes away the food. Rather than for Alpha Edward to give a warning, he would invite that pack for a feast. Thereby wasting the little food the pack had. This was the only side of Alpha Edward which I hated with all my heart. 

"yes" I answered.

"what are you doing here?" he asked. So I went ahead and told him my dream. The next thing that happened surprised the hell out of me. He burst into laughter and walked back to his duty post. 

I became embarrassed and decided not to tell anyone against but Alpha Edward. Just as I looked ahead, I saw Declan from afar. I stood up to run but he caught me. 

"You can't keep running from me" he smirked as he tightened his grip. Just as he was about to open his mouth, a punch came from no where and landed on his face. It was his father. 

I couldn't be happier. I followed the Alpha into his office, afterwards. "So what were you about to tell me?" he asked. 

Just as I was about to open my eyes, I saw something and immediately a tear slipped down my cheek. 

"Its of no use. They are already here."
