I thought I didn’t hear him well at first until he removed the two bags on top of the box in my hands.“Bring your maid in if you need one’ Arnold said to the girls and they scoffed in disbelief.Both picking up their bags on the floor, I let out a short laugh as I hurriedly followed the two Alphas out.The walk was a quiet one until Aiden broke the silence “So what was your discussion with Ryker?” He asked.“Uh?” I asked in confusion.“You’re aware that he’s our Beta and he’s not going to waste time in telling us if we ask,” Arnold said.“Then you should ask him” I muttered under my breath. Why are they concerned about my business anyway?I didn’t give them any reply as I increased my steps walking far from them.I got to the meeting hall first. Panting heavily, I set the box on the table and raised my head when my eyes met with the elders and Morpheus staring at me with disgust.Their gaze almost got me frozen but I faked a smile as I bowed to say my greetings before turning around
Arnold gave no reasonable reply before leaving me on the spot.In deep thought, I strolled down the street hoping to see and get to talk to Ruby.With my drooping head, I pushed open the tall gate of the clinic and made my entrance.I was busy with my thoughts when I noticed the air around me changed and I can smell fear. I raised my head and searched the large territory with my eyes until they land on a pregnant she-wolf struggling to walk to the main door.Her water broke and that must have sent her on edge. I hurried to the door to help her stand and opened the door.She lifted her brows in surprise, her eyes flooded with tears and her face so pale and out of blood.“Oh my goodness… you don’t look good” I said in concern.She burst into tears “Please just help me inside” she sobbed as she groaned in pain when I helped her climb the porch.I can feel how much she’s in pain and I don’t know why. She’s weak, scared, and malnourished. I didn’t bother to ask questions for now and I car
My stroll back to the mansion was quiet and heavy. With the knife in one hand and the gifts in the other hand.On getting to the big door, I glanced at the guards heavily dressed in armor and a spears in their hands. It sure feels good to be able to fight in their wolf form and as humans trained with weapons.I hid the knife carefully and made my entrance.I’m sure the person who threw this knife must have had a hand in what happened a few years ago. Why let me know now and not when I first came?Series of thoughts ran through my mind as I stare at the knife on the way to my room.I pushed open the door and dropped the bag of gifts into a corner on the floor of my room.I stood in front of the mirror to examine the knife once more but then I heard a knock on the door.I wonder if they want dinner already.With that, I opened the drawer and hide the knife inside before going to open the door.“Hey” a pretty round face came into view and I recognize her to be Vickie.“Get us two cups of
In exactly five minutes, I arrived at the training ground in my training outfit.I see Aiden making a circle with black powder in a small token bag.I didn’t know what to do so I just decided to wait but then a sharp smell wafted into my nostrils “Wolfsbane?” I thought inwardly.These people love to play with Wolfsbane but what’s his deal with me tonight? I doubt he would know that I’m the first werewolf that gets away with the adverse effects of it.I stood there motionless, with a fixed stare on the Alpha.“We are to train in this circle Sie, the harder the level of training, the better you become,” he said.“Why would you want me to become better?” I asked him.He gestured for me to enter the circle, his face expressionless and his stance strong.“It’s time to put your defensive techniques into practice,” he said.I was busy looking at the black lines that I didn’t see him move, what I noticed was a fast movement on my face.I flinched and staggered back close to the line.I touched
AIDENRunning through the woods at the speed of light and leaving trails on the cold soil isn’t for fear, but for her. I and Arnold both have our suspicion and guesses about Sierra but our guess was nowhere near being a frigging Silver Wolf, a born Luna!I knew there was something about her and our plan initially was to use her against Morpheus, reject her and avenge our father’s death on her until today!Everyone thinks Morpheus makes the rules, I mean that might be true. We only show people what we want them to believe… what we want Morpheus to believe.He’s got a secret up his sleeves that we’ve been trying to investigate for years but anytime we are close, it always gets foggy and we always lose all points on our leads.With Sierra here, we thought she could stand up to Morpheus and have him busied up with her issues while we operate on the low.We are the Alphas but Morpheus is loved and favored by all, the elders, old and the young, and that's why it’s not easy to take him off t
AIDENI watch as her eyes morphed into shades of darkness, her Silver Fur illuminated against the shadows of the tree, the air was heavy and thick with her scent.A chill suddenly ran down my spine as I sensed the presence of another wolf in the forest with us.She sensed it too and snapped her head towards the approaching steps. Only when the wolf was near that the familiar scent hit me… It is Arnold. It’s only right he finds me easily since we are twins and he can feel exactly what I can. The only thing that can stop that would be when we both find and mark our mates, that way the strong bond between us will be transferred to our gifted mate. Suddenly, he emerged from the darkness, his eyes blazing with aggression and his sleek black fur bristling.Sierra braced herself up for a fight, her muscles tensing as she readied to defend herself. Arnold maintained a fighting stance against the Silver wolf on seeing her with me and that I wasn’t attacking, he felt I needed help, and since h
AidenSome minutes after Sierra disappeared, I picked up approaching footsteps from the distance and the different scents of my pack members. They must have been worried about the wolf call by an unknown.“We should go,” I said to Arnold and stretched my hand to help him up.Instead of taking my hand, I heard him scoff as he stood up to me with anger pooling in his eyes. His red eyes faded as it was quickly replaced with blue ones.Judging from the heavy stampede in the woods, I could tell that half of the entire pack are here searching for answers, especially if they had checked for their Alphas but couldn’t find us.It’s improper for everyone to see us with no clothes on so I carefully filtered through the troubled minds of the pack members to find Ryker. It didn’t take much effort to find him since he’s our beta.I talked to him through the mind link to get us anything to put on while stopping the people from coming into the West forest.I bet they are all prepared for a fight sin
SIERRAI don't think I have luck with peace of mind.Anytime things start to go well, there's always one tiny streak of misfortune hanging around the edge of it.When Aiden decided to train me, I was confused but happy, especially with the hopeful words that he said to me.I'm tired of having to do things I don’t want all because of the mate bond.The scene where Aiden kissed me out of the blue replayed in my head like a song on repeat. And each time it happens, I feel so affected by memories of how soft his lips were, how good he moved them perfectly on mine.He was good but I shouldn’t have given his permission with my reaction. I was having fun training wildly with Aiden before Arnold showed up.The anger on his face threw me off the edge, it all started to go wrong with his showing up. The two brothers are confusing… no matter how hard I try, I just couldn’t get the scene and their hot conversations off my head.Now they’ve found out my secret, and I ended up leaving them with mo
THE CORONATION DAYIn the chilly ambiance of winter, the pack house has been properly decorated by not just the Omegas, but including the elderly women and young girls of the pack.There was excitement everywhere as people started heading to the coronation ground with their families.Each family held gifts for their new Luna with handwritten notes for her.Standing on the balcony of Elder Farrah’s home, her chest raced up against her chest In happiness as she scanned the number of people walking to the coronation ground. She’s happy to see the young pups, old and the young heading in the same direction with smiles on her face.And then, she saw Tyler leading the first batch of the warriors dressed in their costumes and matching in the same direction.She saw other batches being led by General Wayne and Commander Daryle.What piqued her interest was the strong aura emanating from Aiden in his royal Alpha outfit. She felt her cheeks burning and butterflies flapping off their wings in he
The Vampire King looms over Sierra’s figure as he suddenly grew taller than before. Sierra freeze when she noticed the obsessive gaze on her but she clasped her hands together nervously. She made sure to cover her wrist with the long sleeves of her robe so the Vampire wouldn’t notice the bracelet missing.“I can give you a tour of the mansion if you want, it’s where you’ll spend the rest of your lives in any way,” King Varl said with a snarl and licked the side of her face.Sierra trembled at the gross action out of the blue and she thought inwardly “This is getting worst” “Uh…well, I’ve seen enough today but I’ll like to see more tomorrow. We have all the time anyway” Sierra smiled.“If you don’t mind, I can keep her company as usual,” Ryker said to save his head.“Alright, enjoy. I have something to attend to in the meantime anyway” King Varl said.He kissed Sierra on the forehead and left with Elder Ante. Ryker hurriedly walked to Sierra and whispered to her “I thought you had ab
In the dark forest of the night walkers' territory, Sierra is seen sleeping peacefully on the large bed surrounded by slaves tending to her body. Some were rubbing sweet oil fragrance on her hands while some were massaging her feet and back.Sierra moaned at the sensation but she was deep asleep.In her sleep, she started dreaming of what happened to her in the night.She saw herself running after Crystal in the woods and then he suddenly transformed into a familiar-looking man, the vampire king who tried to kidnap her many months ago. She whimpered at the sight of the dangerous creature before her and hated how submissiveness her body was to him.She saw him slipping a bracelet into her wrist.The Vampire king was about to mark her when she gasped and fluttered her eyes open.Due to the direct impact of the sun on her face, she was forced to keep her eyes shut for a while but then she noticed some hands on her body and Sierra sprang up on the bed.She crawled back in fear as she st
What? I can’t kiss you!” Sierra shook her head in disapproval.“Sierra, this is the only thing I ask from you. What are you scared of? You would be betraying our friendship if you’re not fair with your decision” Arnold growled and knocked over another bottle from the table.Sierra sighed and scanned upstairs for traces of Aiden.She’s trapped between her love and friendship. Arnold got greedy at the last moment.“I really want my friend back in return please… and if this feels like a goodbye to you, then it is,” Sierra said and pulled him close before he could utter a countering opinion about her statement.Sierra kissed him lightly on the lips but Arnold grabbed her body tightly to his, kissing her hungrily and greedily.But then, Sierra noticed one thing… her wolf wasn’t responding! Bia wasn’t saying a thing and she wasn’t reacting to Arnold’s wolf. Even if her self-control was fighting against the Mate bond like usual, she always felt it anyway.Sierra pulled away from the kiss wit
The brothers exchanged confusing glances at each other and they were forced to think back on Sierra’s reply to their questions last night, perhaps she had decided to run away.“No way!” Aiden mumbled, he turned away from the door heading for the main entrance when Sierra pushed the door open. She came inside with her white puppy in hand.Crystal barked at them and that was when Sierra noticed the two brothers in front of her, panting heavily. The restlessness on their faces is visible.“Good morning is ever…. Is everything okay?” She asked with a questioning look.“Uh? Uh…“Yeah, sure. We just woke up and so”They both stuttered gibberish trying to find the perfect excuse but none was coming.“I guess you wanted to go for an early morning walk as well, I just went with Crystal” Sierra said to them.“Yes! That’s it” they replied strongly.Aiden and Arnold passed Sierra by and walked out of the house.They both smacked their lips in embarrassment when they were outside.Their eyes met a
Sierra felt at peace after visiting her parents' graves for the first time in years, she was happy to find out that they were buried and not burnt into ashes according to tradition.With a fulfilled face and peace in her heart, she was humming happily on her way back to her parent's house when she came across Shirley and Darius.“Hey guys, I’m sorry for coming back so late…” she said in an apologetic gesture.“It’s fine Siera, we are done restoring your parents' house for you thanks to the strong warriors,” Shirley said.“Darius nudge Shirley and gave her a weird signal which caused Shirley to cover her mouth in fear “Everything has been taken care of now, Lady Sie” Shirley rephrased her statement.Sierra squeezed her brows in confusion “What’s going on here?” She asked.“Well, everyone has been talking about it … I mean your upcoming coronation and we should give you your respect before the very day. You’ll be our Luna after all” Shirley explained.Sierra rolled her eyes with an exha
AT THE OFFICEAiden and Arnold arrived at the office and they saw Vickie cleaning the office with another omega.Aiden flashed Arnold a questioning look but he reacted with a shrug“I know nothing about it”“I guess the elders demoted her to the rank of an Omega” he added.Aiden glanced at her for a while before walking away.He called for Ryker to get him the letter sent by the elders and he came in with it.“Good Morning Alpha Arn” Ryker greeted.“Morning to you Ryker” Arnold replied.Aiden was busy removing the letter from the envelope and when the content appeared on his face, a muscle in his jaw twitched and his hand trembled with fright.Arnold already made his guess at the content of the letter based on his brother’s reaction. He had the same reaction when he heard it from Ruby.“Yeah, she has chosen a date… which means she’ll have to be marked by a mate on that day” Arnold explained.Aiden’s heartbeat can be heard from outside of their office door. He first requested a cup of
Sierra’s legs weakened at the wave of reality brushing up against her. Now she knows that the elders wouldn’t take it easy on her and she would have to face the fear she’s been running from.Ruby sighed and patted her back as she made her seat on the couch.“It’s not anyone’s fault Sierra, the pack has been existing with no Luna to help them strengthen the Alphas. You know how important it is for an Alpha to have his Luna.” Ruby explained persuasively.“What do you think I should do, Ruby?”“I think you need to talk to both of them, you don’t want two Alphas to mark you then you should let them know. Stop suffering yourself and confess to the one your heart wants “ Ruby advised her.Sierra opened the letter again and she saw the remaining text in small font at the lower right side of the letter; it says to input the date chosen and submit it back to the boardroom for approval.She tendered it to show Ruby who nodded her head slightly to motivate her.“These people want me gone as soon
The last case on the list for tonight is a serious one that got everyone on edge about how it will turn out.Elder Farrah who was standing at the front to address the crowd made a turn to hand over to the priestess. Her frail-looking body moved carefully to the seat and the old priestess stood up straight despite the old age reflecting on her. When Ruby saw the Priestess coming forward to handle the last part, she knew already that the elders are up to something. She turned her attention to Sierra with “sympathy” etched on her face.The pack priestess scanned the entire pack members with her heavenly blessed eyes and then stopped at the rogue's seats. She started “I will open this case with the crimes committed by the rogues over the years”Silence descended on the already tensed crowd as they listened attentively to the priestess.“Over the years, the border has been attacked and robbed of food and resources and sometimes our warriors were killed and our Omegas kidnapped by you peop
