Lucian's PovThe meeting was not yielding any result so when Muriel left, I followed her quietly leaving the elders to debate on their chosen topic. She entered her room and I waited for her to come out but she did not. So, I opened the door and saw her holding a paper. This was strange. The Muriel that I know will scream immediately. I stepped into her room but she did not. Was it that she did not notice my presence? I could see that she was lost in thought and I stepped closer to her but she did not turn to see who it was."Muriel." I called gently and she turned, looking at me with confusion written all over her face. She was still holding that paper and I am curious to know what was written in it."Why are you with that paper? What is in it?" I asked, reaching for the paper and she hid it behind her back. I was surprised at her action and at the same time more inquisitive to know what is in it."Are you not going to show me? or is it some love letter written to you by a male admi
Muriel's PovThe weather today felt nice but what pained me is that I can not move about freely. I really wish I had that opportunity, I would have been out in the woods enjoying the afternoon. But Lucian! Today has been so boring and I haven't talked to Lucian for a very long time. The only time we saw each other was when we had breakfast. After that, he disappeared. I guess, palace business. He doesn't really involve me in it so I am just here.I heard a knock on my door and I immediately adjusted myself. "Come in." I shouted and the door opened revealing a tall slender lady with broken wavy hair. She was dressed in flashy clothes and she looked like someone with a good fashion sense."Good day, your highness." She said bowing down. I became confused. Wait, did she just call me your highness? Weird."I am Muriel. Cut off those titles." I snapped."I didn't mean to get you annoyed.""Why are you here? Who are you?""I am in charge of your wardrobe, Muriel. We are about to go shopp
Lucian’s PovWe were back from the priestess place and Muriel has not uttered a word to me. She does not feel sorry for disobeying me and I will do everything within my power to punish her for what she has done. She sat opposite me in the palace and tried avoiding every eye contact with me."Are you going to pretend nothing is wrong with what you did?" I asked."I already apologized, Lucian. What else am I supposed to do again? Kill myself?" "I would have slapped the hell out of you right now.""You don't have the right to slap your mate.""Oh yes, I do and I am going to do that when any nonsense comes out of your mouth. If I had known, I would have let you get killed.""How did you know we were in danger?""I was contacted and I was really angry because you flaunted my order, you this Omega!""I did not know who those people were and I do not know why they are after me.""They are after this pack. Maybe you possess something great. What is it?""Something great?" She laughed. "I am
Muriel’s Pov.I had gotten myself into deep shit, if I had known beforehand that this is what the garden is... I would have trailed Lucian the instant he was leaving.But how did he manage to get out without going in circles like me? Okay now that's one dumb question!! He was the Alpha and had lived here all his life so why wouldn't he be acquainted with his surroundings.Or did he bring me here to abandon me?Different answers kept running through my mind."Luna!!." I suddenly heard someone call out frantically and a ray of hope flashed in my eyes.Maybe correcting this guard that I'm only a breeder not their Luna would be better. But that isn't necessary now."Who's there?" I asked hoping the person would be able to trail my voice."It's me, Lucian." The person responded."Oh goodness! Thanks to the goddess that you're here. How do I get out of here?" I asked Lucian my guard while I walked towards the direction I presumed his voice was coming from."Luna, you just have to stay w
*Apocrypha*~The reigns of Alpha Vixen; Unknown clan~The news reached the palace where the Omega's rule got the king of apocrypha panicking. King Omega Xander Harish could not stop thinking about their failed plan. His special adviser is with him and he has no choice but to receive all the angry bants of Omega Xander. The atmosphere is so tensed up and one can hardly come inside the palace without feeling the heat."You all are useless! How could you?" He shouted and the walls of the palace shook. His eyes shot out as his hands clenched into fists."My Lord, you should at least commmend our effort. It was not easy and it is not our fault the plan did not pull through.""You are a Fool! A very big fool! Are you telling me it is not your fault? Oh, I should start commending your irresponsible act.""That was not what I meant. Things do not always go as planned.""You better shut it before I lose it. It would have gone well if not of…" Before he could finish his sentence, the special ad
**Unknown Pov**After hearing the plans of Alpha Vixen and his special adviser, I went back to the back of the palace and scaled the wall.It was no longer a new thing because I had gotten used to this, In Fact this was now my usual route and it didn't even take up to five minutes for me to scale the wall.Landing on the outside of the pack, I pulled off my clothes and shifted to my wolf form. Grabbing my clothes with my fangs, I sprinted as fast as my paws could carry me.Enjoying the cool breeze of nature hitting my skin, the trees, the forest, the chirping of birds, the picturesque view.Everything was just perfect and my wolf wouldn't stop running, enjoying the sprint more than ever.I had to report to Alpha Alaric and get back here so I wouldn't miss any vital information.Yes, Alaric is an Alpha.Most things are hard to believe, most things are impossible to understand until you eventually stumble upon them.My life as a rogue had been messed up until Alpha Alaric picked me up a
Harlow’s PovThis was my greatest fear, losing someone so dear to me.My whole world ceased.I didn't know how to react as I watched Alaric fall down with blood dripping down from his mouth.Everything happened so fast and it got me shocked and immobile for a few seconds.I ran towards Alaric but didn't notice that he was preparing to knock me down too until Marc intervened.Son of a bitch.I feel he's just a maniac, he's the cause of all these things happening."Alaric, open your eyes." I sobbed holding Alaric as carefully as I could."Why did you go back to fight him? Why didn't you ignore him? Fool...Now what do you expect me to do?" I cried out in pain.Meanwhile Marc and Tobais were already in a fierce war but I couldn't care less as my priority now is to make sure that Alaric is okay."Pumpkin,you don't have to bother about me, I'd be fine..." He said and winced in pain."Shut up, you still have the strength to talk even in this kind of situation!" I scolded and he only chuckle
~Unknown clan~The next morning.....I didn't sleep till the following day, I think it was the effect of the coffee.I felt like I fell off a cliff, my whole body hurts like hell. I couldn't even feel myself.It was now I noticed I was in a different room.The room I saw my self In wasn't familiar to me ,this wasn't the room they gave me.I thought to myself.But where could this be? Just then Amelia walked in, the first question I could register in my head and asked her was:"Amelia, where am I"? "Is that a good morning or what?" Amelia asked me, seemingly displeased by my actions."I'm sorry, it's just that I woke up in an unfamiliar room." I responded to her pouting and making a cute funny face.And yes, that got her."It's okay, have you forgotten you asked me to bri____" The remaining words hung in her mouth. She acted like someone who was just reminded not to say a particular thing."You were saying something." I reminded her "Don't bother, it's nothing serious." She replie
*GOT ANOTHER MATE! DOOMSDAY!!!*Already aware of the fact that the Alpha I had just served was my second chance mate, I decided to act like I didn't notice anything and just keep on moving.Especially now that it seems like he isn't aware yet but who am I kidding?He's an Alpha and it's possible that he already knew it before I noticed.Why else would he thank a servant?I was about to pour wine for the person beside him when I felt an additional weight on my hand and somehow the touch made my body tingle."Mate." He announced to the hearing of everyone and I raised my gaze to meet his smiling eyes.Immediately, some of the Alpha's began cheering him and my eyes moistened up.Was he accepting me?On my birthday?Double bliss!!!I didn't know why but I suddenly got that feeling you get when someone is staring intensely at you and I had to swerve.As I turned, my eyes came face to face with Alpha Amos.It seemed like he was using his eyes to drill and bore holes at the back of my head.
*A MATE, AGAIN? DON'T COME TO ABANDON JUST STAY*Taken back to the dungeon was one of the most dreadful experiences but I was able to stay alive till this very moment though the darkness still creeped me out and I couldn't wait to see the light of day. Though I wasn't sure that particular wish would ever be granted. *Scoffs*Not like any of my wishes ever gets granted.Just as I cursed my very own existence, the door to the dungeon creaked open. It was like some movie that had been rewinded because come to think of it, this was the same way the door to the dungeon opened the first time I was here. "You're quite a lucky one." A voice came from the doorway and the effect of seeing sunshine after a long while made me shut my eyes as they were hurting. Shutting my eyes wasn't enough as the lights were still able to penetrate into my eyes as if they would pierce through my soul at any time.My whole being felt sore and it was even more like I'd been deprived of my freedom to live like
*BITTER SWEET*I stared with my face and eyes moistened up with tears at everyone as they threw different spiteful insults at me.Wow... How fast does news fly here?It's almost like they had a transmitter or something because how did everyone know I had shifted and even killed someone in less than an hour.Fear gripped me as I wondered the severe punishment that awaited me if the royal palace hears of this.Gosh, the last thing I want is getting back into that dungeon.If only everyone would have just a little sympathy and shut their darned mouth then everything would be fine, or would it?No matter how much I wanted sympathy, it's quite clear I just murdered someone.My thinking wasn't flowing in the right direction anymore but I couldn't fail to realize that even when I shifted to my human form, I still had my clothes on.That doesn't happen or does it?I don't even know anything anymore.And it seems like everyone is oblivious of that particular detail... My clothes aren't shredde
DREADED NIGHT*I ran out when no one was expecting and I'm pretty sure no one noticed but something was totally off. The howls in the shadows kept me in a state of both confusion and fear as I couldn't interpret the animal that produces such a howling sound.I needed to focus on how to escape effortlessly but it seems that the sound keeps distracting me by implanting fear in me. At some point I felt like it was there for only one purpose and that's me!But what the hell could that be?I noticed that I didn't have enough time to deliberate on whatever that thing was so I had to let go and continue my run.... I had this strong instinct that I would escape successfully.Where do I have in mind to go?No where!Absolutely nowhere because I had no connections with the neighboring packs. But then I still had to escape to save myself.I had gone so far and with my observations, I knew fully well that I was about to cross the border but that would only happen successfully if I am able to figh
Harlow's PovIt's already been months since I was able to feel myself once again. The fact that many things weren't right wasn't something anyone can doubt as it was clear like crystal. Everyone including everything seemed strange and it felt like I woke up from a long trance. Constantly looking at Blair stared down at me like I was a ghost, or Rona who always avoids me like I carry a disease. Not to talk of Jade whom I knew was somehow close to..."Arghhhh." I screamed internally trying my best not to yell out how frustrated I feel. I watched as Blair started walking to my direction, I felt like walking away but no, curiosity made me stay to hear whatever shit she has to say to me."How are you doing? Let's grab a drink or two." Blair didn't even wait for a reply from me as she threw both questions at me without even waiting for my reply."Excuse me but are you talking to a kid?" I asked her, anger evident in my voice."Can we go now? You mustn't throw a fit you know." Rona muttered
*Santiago*I had left Nadia's room so she would feel a little comfortable because it seemed she acted kind of weird with my presence around.Going to my study room, I placed my head on my desk as the events that had happened yesterday came like flashes of light.I had rescued a girl that would have been hanging 6 feet above if I didn't get there the time I did with my team.Now that's bad of me, always forgetting to introduce myself.I'm Santiago Beckett, doctor and banker. I know it sounds weird but that was it!!I had my mother and myself to take care of so I had to do a double task to make ends meet.And my mind went to my mother, my expression and emotion immediately changed as tragedy hit.I had rescued a girl the night before and lost my mum the same night.What a bad fate!!As a doctor, I tried my best to save my mother as it seemed she was torn apart by an animal but what I had forgotten to ask the team that found her, was where they found her body!Quite forgetful of me.Some
NadiaOn getting to his house which freaked me out like hell, we alighted and I kept staring at the car—like he called it— with a dreamy look in my eyes as I gazed at it.The noise that came out of the car when we were inside was deafening.This particular world looked weird with freaky and terrific gadgets but I kinda liked it... How the hell did we get here in split minutes? Even if it was fast, it was slow somehow!!He took me in and offered me a room but everywhere looked too clean and classy for me. I don't know why but I would have preferred it a little dirty.And also, I had forgotten to ask him why he had run out of the hospital when he had been questioning me earlier. Oh damn it!! I'll make sure to question him about it.Few minutes later, Santiago re–entered the room with a mug in his hands though his countenance wasn't as bright as it was before."Here you go. Herbs and tea, it would help relieve you of the pain you might be feeling." He said and dropped the steaming tea o
Long time ago in the Green Oak pack*MEMORIES GONEWith no other option left, I strode out of the Green oak pack as tears trickled down my eyes.I was leaving the only place I called home!!I should have known that trying to be compatible with Moses would end in a losing game.I had suffered tribulation and gotten addicted all for a losing game!!Getting to the outskirts of the city, the guards that were assigned to make sure I left the pack without causing any troubles stopped and retired back to the pack because they had gotten to their limit.I was now left alone to find my way into the woods alone as more tears fell down my eyes.Just then, I felt strange and sharp chills run down my spine and I started screaming in anguish.My head was burning and my eyes turned crystal blue as I scratched my head in exasperation.Early Lunar Madness again!!!It was too much for my human self to take so I had no other choice but to shift to my wolf form.As I transformed into my wolf form, I bega
"You killed her!!!" Alpha Xander of the Crimson pack yelled.And that was enough to confuse the remaining sanity I had left."What are you talking about!?" I asked in anger. This is becoming too much for me to handle… but then, I have to be strong for not just myself, including my pack members. I have to protect them at all costs."Don't ask me that question!!! Aside from your pack, there is no other brutal and senseless pack." Alpha Xander blurted out."Enough of the insults already!!! What were you talking about!? Killed who?" I hollered as I felt my brain would explode soon.My head was spinning as I couldn't think straight anymore. When he said 'you killed her' my thoughts drifted to Petal.Could it be that she's dead? No, that can't happen.What went wrong? " You killed Amanda!!! The child was just innocent…You killed her because you couldn't find any way to reach Petal!!!" He shouted.Okay that's fair, nothing happened to Petal and that was a relief but not entirely a sweet r
