The survivors said their prayers silently with tears streaming down freely. They remembered how the rogues took down the tall gate.Their call for help but no one came for them.They had tried to fight and defend themselves but they were outnumbered and weak compared to the irascible force of the invaders.The bruises on them show their struggle against the invaders and how they barely made it out of the camp alive.Shirley had fainted when a rogue smacked her to the ground but Evie and Darius rescued her by attacking the rogues together from behind.Thanks to the fallen tree on high ground in the forest and it had shielded them from their enemies.When everything died down, they were ready to go out at first but then they saw the rogues still patrolling as if searching for something or someone.That was when Sierra returned to the Camp. Evie wanted to scream so loud to warn her but Darius had pinned her down and covered her mouth. She cried silently as they knocked Sierra unconsciou
Staring out of the clear window, Aiden finds the scene outside amusing and calming as specks of snow swirl around. The unusual silence that filled his room, the beating of his heart as moisture settles on the window and slowly dripped down in zigzags.He was having the peace to himself and for the first time, he wished to just lay there for hours without worrying about a pack to rule. A morning training to show up to or the competition that dropped out of nowhere.He took in a deep breath and his muscled chest heaved up and down in a slow motion.All of a sudden, a knock interrupted his thoughts and he shut his eyes in frustration, brows creased in anger.He tried to calm himself and figure out the enemy of peace behind the door but he could not detect a familiar sound or movement.He wondered if someone has come to get him since he was running late for the morning training.Aiden groaned, his eyes boring at the elaborately smooth design on the ceiling and the chandelier that hung fr
The hall was plunged into confusion after Tyler made another report about what happened at the border. Some were in disbelief that Sierra could be working with the rogues courtesy of the few months they’ve lived together trying to prove her innocence. She tried so hard to build her trust but just like her absence, it seems to be fading away in the blink of an eye.“Are you sure that Sierra turned against you and your men and fought with the rogues?” Arnold asked again.Tyler suck in his lower lips in hesitation and when his eyes met with the twin Alphas' burning gaze, he stuttered with shaky breath “Yes Alpha”Morpheus's eyes darted, gleaming with excitement and the corners of his eyes crinkled as he looked heavenward.Aiden clenched his fist, his wrath was visible and roaring. How bad he wanted to defend Sierra but the discovery of the knife with her is holding him back and causing him an immense pain in his heart.Arnold flashed him a ferocious look and said in his mind “You’re wron
Commander Daryle explained why he heard from Morpheus's office and Ryjer was in great shock at the truth.“But is it okay for this young man to know? He is the twin Alphas’s Beta” Daryle asked with his hand pointed at Ryker.Tyler flinched and replied with a shrug “Trust me I'm cool, I don't think I can tell anyone of them about this at the moment. They are in great conflict with each other” Ryker explained.Ruby sighed and muttered a thank you to Daryle.“So, care to tell me what you think is going on?” Daryle demanded.Ruby glanced at Ryker with a dubious look and he gestured for her to go ahead.“Morpheus is not who you think he is…” Ruby started.“I can’t tell you the details now but I’ll tell you little of what I have noticed. He’s trying to divide the twin Alphas, fool the pack members, and rule over them alone” Ruby explained.Daryle scoffed, saying “That’s impossible, unless you’re born an Alpa or chosen by the moon goddess you can’t be one,” he said.“But he’s got an Alpha’s b
AT THE ROGUE'S CAMPSierra was forced to open her face to the loud noises of the rogues, more like a wake-up call to alert others about daylight.Sierra covered her ears in frustration as she shut her eyes completely to protect her hearing.Just then, she noticed a strange presence in the tent with her and when she opened her eyes, two men appeared before her and they snatched both of her arms and dragged her out.Sierra groaned as her soft skin bruised against the harsh ground of the forest. She was shocked to see many of them standing from afar with a big chair in the middle but with no one on it.She bit her lips and mindlinked Bia “We woke up late shit!”“Uh… sorry Sierra, the sleep here just hits differently” Bia uttered and immediately retreated from the surface.“I knew it! You love putting me into trouble” Sierra muttered as they continued to drag her down to the crowd.Sierra made a sharp cry as they dropped her roughly on the floor.As Sierra sat up to blow on her bruised le
Just like the passing wind, everyone started leaving in groups the minute their King left the scene.Sierra is left right there but with guards scattered around.The little girl stepped back with her eyes fixed on Sierra and when she arrived at a particular spot that leads to another route, She turned to face her destination. Walking into the forest far from the main camp.Sierra didn't know what to do but she know much that she shouldn't try to escape at the moment, not after finding out things that could solve all of her life problems.As she stood up, she dust herself off the dirt and muttered as her eyes sized the entire scene before her “Who could have imagined that those girls are rogues?!” Her eyes traveled to the path that the little girl took some minutes ago and she readied herself to do some exploration. Sierra gasped when her eyes landed on a scary-looking face and with a pointed stick in hand. He snarled at Sierra warning her to stay in sight.“Alright, alright... Gosh s
Sierra sneezed as she walked to a corner and the heavy hair material on her pushed her forward with its weight; Sierra nearly fell face flat on the floor as she stumbled forward.“Oh God” she exclaimed as she hold back the hair decorations on her head. She straightened herself and glanced around at everyone, including the guard who seems to be watching her like a hawk.Sierra smiled nervously with her lips snapped shut then carefully, she ran back into the forest. The moment she was out of sight, she increased her speed and began searching for the bird. And of course, she’s running with her hand tightly fixed around the heavy weight on her hair.She’s been searching for a while now but she hasn’t seen anything like Ruby’s bird and at one point, she thought about activating her wolf form as it would help her greatly but on second thought it would be a bad idea. Running through their territories in her wolf form could pose a threat, especially since she’s a silver wolf. Also, she would
The girl smiled at Sierra and waved her hand in dismissal “Vista can’t leave this place” she said.“Vista? What’s Vista?” Sierra asked with a questioning look.“Name… sister” the little girl informed Sierra that Vista is her sister’s name.“Oh I get it now, you have a name but you’re not allowed to name your little sister?” She asked and they replied with a nod.“If you know the way out of here, why didn’t you… no why can’t you leave?” Vista looked down as color drained out of her face “We have nowhere to go and the king is going to hunt us down” she explained.Sierra nodded her head in realization and since she’s not in a position to take anyone back to the pack, her heart hurts so much for them.“I don’t want to escape yet but can you help me out with something else?” Sierra asked with urgency in her voice.Vista looked at her with hesitation and she exchanged glances with her little sister before she talked. ”Actually, I came looking for you for something else, “ she said.“Uh?” S
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
