EVOLET“I bet you’ll lose before the battle even starts,” Gamma Dave mocked, tossing the wooden sword at me.I was on the ground after the bullying from the Gamma. We were having our last practice when he targeted me like yesterday, making training hard for me.Now here I was sitting on the ground with my butt aching badly. He roughly tossed me to the floor, getting the others to laugh out loudly.I didn’t bother to get to my feet but sat there, looking at the Gamma.“Like I care about winning any more. Soon, I’ll be far away from this place, and you won’t get the chance to bully me again,” I muttered under my breathe, rubbing my aching buttocks.“That’s the end of our practice. I wish you all good luck. Well, some people will need that luck on that day,” he joked, directing it at me, before exiting the arena.Derby came to help me up, asking if I was okay.“I’m good,” I responded with a smile, dusting my body.That’s when we heard Fiona and the others gossiping about the game and the
EVOLETFinally, the day we’ve been waiting for was here. The arena was arranged wonderfully well by the servants of the Royal mansion, to welcome the guests.The people were already showing up, even though the game was starting in one hour time. You can say they are here to get the best seats before the show begins.Where I stood looking at the guests, I thought of my Mom and hoped she’d be present to watch tonight’s game. “That way I can apologize and make peace with her when I lose. I hope she can forgive me for disobeying her,” I sighed, wrapping my arms across my chest.I soon felt a hand on my shoulder from behind. It was Derby’s.She came to call me in for a brief meeting with the Queen and her son, Alpha Allen. “Come on, you don’t want to be absent,” she said, taking hold of my hand and leading the way.I followed her until we arrived at the hall of the mansion where Queen Chriselda stood at the top of the staircase with Allen at the right, and the sorceress at her left hand si
EVOLET“Aren’t you happy, Eve? Two bestie going head-to-head… It feels so wonderful. Don’t you agree?” Fiona grinned, wiping off imaginary tears from her eyes.I was still in shock, wondering why she had to be my opponent. If I had paid more attention to the Gamma, I would have prevented him from making Fiona my opponent by stepping back.But that can’t be changed now. We are out in the open, and there’s no backing out from this.“Why did it have to be her? Gosh, I just hate her,” I mumbled, keeping my distance from Fiona.She was busy stealing the show, all thanks to the audience who cheered out her name to show their love for Miss Show off.“Go Fiona! You can do it, darling!” I recognized her mother’s voice from the crowds, cheering out to her daughter.On looking at her mother’s direction, my heart sank when I spotted Mom sitting in the front row, staring at me.“She came,” I uttered softly, feeling emotional.She still hasn’t changed from that mood I left her in. She sat there wit
EVOLET“Goddess, this can’t be the end. Please give me a second chance!”“Please, let Alpha Allen save me. I know he likes me. I’ve seen the way he stares at me.” The damsels that lost their fight, cried right next to me. They were all weeping bitterly, like it was the end of the world.Since we lost the round, we were made to wait in the hall of the mansion before we can be sent away.I was already getting tired of waiting that I ended up sitting on the floor, playing with Cadell. He kept me company with the childish games we played while the others howled out sorrowfully.“Hey! Don’t cheat!” I smacked Cadell’s paw, laughing at him.“Are you for real?” one of the girls uttered, gaining my attention. I lifted my eyes and met all their gazes fixed at me.“What?” I asked, wondering what my crime was.“You’ve got to be kidding me.”“She’s acting as if she didn’t lose a fight!”“You are supposed to be crying, not playing! Can’t you see that we’re going to be kicked out from the mansion?!
EVOLET“Block every entrance! He must not escape!” Alpha Allen roared out to the guards, pulling Queen Chriselda close for safety.The Queen was looking terrified by the Alpha Cat’s sudden action, but not as terrified as the people of Wolf Fall.They were bringing each other down, in the name of escaping the Werecat’s terror. You won’t blame them. They are all scared and don’t know what the Tiger would do now that he’s free.“Evolet!” Mom yelled, taking hold of my hand and trying to make a way out of the panic-stricken crowds.Her grip was rough on me, but not as rough as the terrified people, who was pushing each other down with no concern.“Cadell!” I yelled, looking behind to make sure he was close to me. Indeed he was, but his attention was mainly at the Werecat who was beating the hell out of the guards, and somewhere else.I couldn’t tell what was in Cadell’s mind at that moment, but It felt like he was making a risky plan in that head of his. “Oh no you don’t,” I said, forcing
EVOLETCadell came back as promised, but not empty handed.In his mouth held a long golden chain, which he took from the arena. Seems he knew things won’t work out well with me and the Alpha.“Someone came prepared,” I smirked at him, watching him growl at the Werecat, who was struggling to get back on his feet.Looks like Cadell’s attack struck him hard. He managed to rise, glaring directly at Cadell and I, with his eyes flashing intensely at us.On seeing his gaze, I knew he wasn’t going to go easy on us, but I’m ready for him.“Get set, Cadell. This Tiger is as stubborn as hell,” I said, taking my position.Cadell stood next to me, still growling at the Alpha Cat. And somehow, it seems that increased the Alpha’s annoyance.“You think you can chain me down?” he rose to his feet, cracking his neck bone. “If I was able to break out from that rusty chain in the first place, what makes you think you can bound me?” He growled, taking his stance.His right leg positioned behind the other,
EVOLET“What are you saying?” Allen asked.“Two Lion Cubs. Did anyone see them stepping into Wolf Fall?” I repeated my question.Everyone glanced at each other in confusion, having nothing to say, except Sorceress Thelma. She scoffed and spoke rudely, “What garbage are you pouring out now?”“Your barrier. You can feel anything that goes through it. Surely you must have felt those cubs presence,” I pointed out, pinning the sorceress to the matter.And when she noticed this, she shouted, “Are you making a mockery of my powers?! Are you insulting me?!”“I never did, Sorceress. But if the truth gets fished out, your reputation as Wolf Fall’s sorceress will be questioned, “ I said with no fear, stunning both Sorceress Thelma and Allen.The Sorceress was mad. She was now desperate to paint me before the people as the pack’s enemy, asking how I knew all these. But I wasn’t going to tell her how. She doesn’t deserve to know.Just then, the Alpha Cat said, pulling out something from his pocket
QUEEN CHRISELDA“What’s happening now? Why has no one returned to give me any news?” I grumbled in the living room, pacing about.The maidens were watching from the corner, unable to say anything to me.I don’t even know why they are still here instead of going to their rooms. But I won’t blame them. I bet they are worried about my son and decided to stay with me.Stay with me to impress me of course. Weaklings.“My Queen,” I heard a familiar voice at my left hand side. I turned over and met Fiona, the only damsel I adore.She stood before me with worry in her eyes and said, “You don’t have to be worried. I’m sure Alpha Allen will be fine. He’s a strong man. He’s your son.” She carefully took hold of my hand before the others, stunning the girls with her action. Something no damsel or any other person outside the Royal home has done, she did.And by the minute, I fell deeply in love with her nature.She’s indeed perfect for my son. She possesses the qualities of a true Luna. My Qualit
QUEEN CHRISELDA“Idiots, that’s what you are!” I sparked at the guards who stood before me.They had their heads lowered before me.“The next time you all will make me call out to you without getting any response, I’ll have your heads chopped off!”“We’re sorry, Queen Chriselda.” they apologized, but I wasn’t done talking.“If you see that wolf and cat running around without their owners and causing disaster in my home, then I want you to capture and lock them up! Is that clear?!”“Yes, my Queen,” they all chorused.“What’s going on here?” Allen questioned while stepping into my almost crowded room.I sent the guards out and began complaining to my son about the attack made on me by those rodents.“They almost sent me to the ground!” I groaned, turning over to look at myself in the mirror and see if that dirty cat make any scratches on me.“Oh Mom, you know they are just animals? They don’t have good reasoning like us,” my son defended those creatures.I know why he’s doing this, but
EVOLETIt’s still fine if this problem happened to me alone, but Derby?I will not accept that at all!When we were heading for the dining room, I noticed how troubled and scared Derby was. Even Trent looked angry in her arms, and it got Cadell and I wondering what the problem was.They couldn’t speak at the dining yet until we got to the arena for our training, where there’s enough open space to stay in and talk. Then Derby told us what happened.Someone came into her room last night!And it was Allen!“I was sleeping when I heard Trent hissing out. I had to turn over to know what it was. Only for me to see a man staring at me from the door!” Derby shared, shaking fearfully.“The red glowing eyes… The height in the dark… I recognized the dark figure immediately.”“That bastard!” I cursed, getting furious over this!“If not for Trent, I don’t know what Alpha Allen would have done. Trent attacked him badly and that got him fleeing the room. If care wasn’t taken…” She squeezed Trent clo
EVOLET“We did it,” Derby cheered next to me in the dining room, holding my hand tight.“It’s thanks to the Goddess. She used the people of Wolf Fall to force the Queen to accept us,” she chuckled lightly, before facing another damsel who was sharing her happiness in being back in the mansion, to the others.Indeed it’s the Goddess that gave us this chance, and we need to make good use of it before things gets out of hand.“But I know we’ll succeed in this mission real soon,” I believed within, caressing Cadell.He had his head falling on my lap while being patted by another damsel at my side.“He’s so cute,” she had said, running her fingers in his fur.And you need to see the way he laid lazily on me, enjoying himself.“Naughty,” I chuckled, stroking him.Just then… “Good evening, my Angels.”“Alpha Allen!” The girls called out with joy, dismissing their conversations to gawk at the Alpha.The creepy Alpha walked into the room with a smile, taking the high seat which Queen Chriselda
ALLEN“Are you satisfied now?” My Beta questioned. His voice sounding displeased and hard. But I didn’t care about his tone and replied, smiling right at the ones I have been waiting for, “Extremely satisfied.”Dean won’t understand the kind of thrill I’m getting from this. He thinks I’m just being confused and don’t know what I actually want.What a foolish wolf.“Just pray that the Queen doesn’t learn about your involvement in this decision she made. You know how furious she’ll get.”“My mother will never find out about a thing, unless you’re planning on telling her,” I uttered, facing my Beta, who stood next to me.He no longer had his wheelchair but walked around with a cane. He kept his head down when I turned to glare at him.Just what I expected from someone like him.“If she ever finds out about my deeds, I promise you Dean…” I slowly placed my hand on his neck and grabbed him tight.He kept his head bow silently, saying nothing else to me.“I will make you breath your last b
QUEEN CHRISELDA“Thelma!” I called, storming to her room.When I got there, I met the door locked.I thought she wasn’t inside but heard sounds coming from the within.“Thelma, open up!” I banged harder, almost losing my patience. That’s when she answered, sluggishly opening up for me.When our eyes met, Thelma asked coldly, “What?”This woman! Nowadays she no longer shows me respect because of what I did. She has decided to take me as a nobody!“I need your help, Thelma,” I said, stepping into her room without her invitation.“This people want to run me mad in this pack.” I sat on her bed, trying to ease my pounding heart.“I just had a meeting with our elders. They came to tell me about the people’s interest in making that disrespectful Omega my son’s Luna. They gave me two options, Thelma! They want me to either bring her and that friend of hers back into the game, or cancel the hunt and make her the Luna. But I don’t want any of the options! What can I do?!”I felt my hands trembl
QUEEN CHRISELDA“Evolet! Evolet!! EVOLET!!!” I sparked, slamming my fist into the wall.“It’s always her! WHY GODDESS?!”“I can’t handle that girl any more. This is getting out of hand for me!” I groaned, flashing to the look on her face when she glanced at me before leaving the arena.She once again stolen the hearts of the people, and now she has done it again.They are talking about how she and her friend sent that Vampire Queen running.It has been the latest topic since last night’s hunt!Even this lousy people have taken it to the internet, calling her Wolf Fall’s true Luna.“She is no Luna. I am the one who will decide who the true Luna and Queen of this pack will be!” I vented once again, slamming my hand into the wall again, but harder.This time, I made a big hole to the other side, only for me to hear the sound of someone screaming out in fear from the other end.When I looked, I found a maid staring at me in fear from the opening. Her face trembled before she fled away wit
EVOLET“She did that?” Mom asked, frowning her face.We didn’t head back home because we were thinking of a new way to get back into the mansion. We met Mom coming down to the arena with other pack members, since it was afternoon.“Yeah, she just kicked Evolet out so rudely. You need to see the hate in her eyes,” Derby shared, describing the Queen’s demeanor.I stood there with my back against a tree, watching them while glancing at the arena.My focus was on that pendant. I need it to stop Chriselda and Thelma from monitoring my location. But it can only be possible if I’m inside.“That ugly wrinkled woman! She’ll pay for this,” Mom groaned, pulling closer to me.“Don’t you worry, Eve. We’ll think of something.”“I hope it’s one that involves ruining that woman’s face, because I want a piece of her flesh in my claws,” Trent vented right on Derby’s shoulder, still raging over the Queen’s words.Cadell laughed at his anger and said, “Welcome to the club, Pretty boy.”That made Trent gl
EVOLET“Welcome my lovely and brave damsels. It’s so nice to see you all again,” The Queen said with a big smile, stepping off the stairs with the sorceress by her side.“I’m sorry about the delay. Your Alpha had an emergency and couldn’t welcome you angels himself. But don’t worry, he’ll be present during the games today,” she said, pleasing the girls.Where I stood watching, I noticed how Sorceress Thelma kept lowering down to touch her knees and rising again to stand straight.“Are you seeing this?” I asked Derby while keeping my attention on the elderly woman.“What?” Derby asked.“The sorceress is acting strange. I think she’s… weak,” I observed when she repeated her brief squat, patting the Queen from behind.“Really? I didn’t notice,”Derby said, looking lost.She didn’t see when the sorceress made those weak movements. In fact, I think I’m the only one among all the girls who saw this.Others were focused on Queen Chriselda’s welcome speech. Their minds are on the game.I saw t
EVOLET“That wasn’t enough,” Cadell grumbled, sitting next to Mom.“He ran away before I could unleash my wrath and break his bones.”“You will get him next time. For now, you won the fight,” Mom pampered him, putting a smile on his face.“I knew Allen wouldn’t last long with Cadell. The time I fought with that asshole, he couldn’t take me down. He’s lucky that the old sorceress came to his rescue otherwise…” Trent shared, running his thumb across his neck where he sat.“Wait, when was that?” Derby asked curiously, and Trent gave her his response.“The night I was caught and taken by the Royal home.”“Really? But the Sorceress claimed Alpha Allen was the… Damn, they lied to us!” Derby groaned, getting mad.“I hate them all!” She kicked the air, expressing her detest for the Alpha. “I can’t wait to expose their dirty secrets. This hunt is taking forever!”“Calm down, Derby. We are getting there. Soon, everything will fall in place. Right Eve?” Trent uttered, looking at me.Where I sat
