CADELL“You’re safe,” I said, slowly lowering Evolet into bed. Her hand gripped my shirt tightly, refusing to let go. “Cadell,” she whispered my name softly, lost somewhere in her dream.I stared at her as I carefully took her hand off me, placing it right on her chest. “I’m still here. Your Cadell will never leave you,” I said, caressing her cheek with a smile.She felt my touch. I could tell from the way her lips curved into a smile, snuggling her face right in my palm.But when I recalled the whole scenario that took place this night, I felt upset.“This is exactly what I was avoiding. You aren’t safe in this place,” I groaned, carefully pulling my hand away and distancing myself from Evolet.I knew something was wrong when she didn’t return back to the arena. Trent noticed my worry and felt I should check up on Evolet. But before I could leave the seat, I heard her cry through her necklace.She called out to me, pleading to the Goddess to send me to her rescue!Quickly, Trent and
QUEEN CHRISELDA“Isn’t this amazing, son?” I clapped, impressed with the fight that just ended. But Allen didn’t respond to my question.That got me turning to his direction, just to find my son staring into the crowds all lost. His eyes hovered around them like he was searching for someone.“Is he looking for that wolfless Omega?” I suspected, following my son’s gaze to see if I was right. But there was no sign of that Evolet, and that made me happy.To take my son’s eyes away from the crowd, I said, placing my hand on his lap to gain his attention, “Fiona’s fight was impressive. Why don’t you give her a gift after the battle? I’m sure she’ll love it.”“As you wish, mother,” He muttered, making it look like I’m forcing that sweet girl on him.I am not the one who told him to explore her like some museum. If that Wolfless Omega hadn’t intervened during that Werecat’s appearance, I’m sure my son wouldn’t be acting like this.Well, there’s no need to worry about her. When this event is
EVOLET“Stop running! You might get hurt.”“Hahaha!”I groaned out tiredly, wondering who was making so much noise at this hour. “I know we don’t have neighbors, so who is that noisemaker?” I grumbled, carefully pulling myself out from bed.On opening my eyes, I was stunned to find myself in a familiar room. “This… This is the mansion!” I gasped, jumping out of the bed, looking around. “This is the same room I was given during the hunt,” I recognized, turning about.“But what am I doing here?” I wondered, finding this strange.That’s when I heard laughter coming from outside the room. It was loud and cheerful.“Stop running for heaven sake!” Someone yelled, running by.Curious, I carefully walked up to the door and opened it slightly. There I saw two young ladies running into a passage opposite the room I was in. The one behind wore a black attire decorated with red lines at the edges. Then the one laughing and running wore a pretty purple dress, with her black hair flowing out.“Why
QUEEN CHRISELDA“Allen, Son… Are you okay?” I asked, drawing closer to him.We all returned to the mansion a few minutes ago, looking all dull from the visit.The one who was down the most was my son, Allen. He hasn’t said a word since we left the hospital. And as his mother, I can understand how it feels to see someone who’s close to you, in such a terrible state.My son is in shock.That’s why I’m here to help him take away his worry. I’m his mother.“Talk to me, Allen. Don’t stay quiet,” I said, sitting right next to him with my hand falling on his shoulder.The moment my hand landed on him; Allen spoke without looking at me. “I don’t know what to do or say anymore. Are we just dealing with a Rogue or an evil spirit?” He asked.I didn’t even bother to answer that question but ran my fingers in his hair, showing him my support. If only he knows that the beings we’re dealing with are way beyond him. I bet he would lose his confidence as an Alpha in a blink of an eye.But as his mother
EVOLETIt was nine thirty in the morning. My eyes felt a bit heavy from my second nap. It made me uncomfortable, forcing me to stay awake until the sun was out.I had another dream about the late Luna and Queen Chriselda. They were sitting in the mansion’s living room. It decor looked different and better than the way it is currently.They were talking about something inaudibly, making gestures with their hands and laughing. When Luna Violet got to her feet, I met her gazing straight at me letting out a smile.She beckoned me over to her side, saying, “It’s okay. Come sit with us.” She stretched out her hand to me.I decided to listen and walked up to her, reaching out to take hold of her hand. As soon as the tip of my fingers touched hers, the whole room disappeared. I found myself in that same horrible storm, hearing both Cadell and Luna Violet calling out to each other.I tried to make my way out but felt something sharp going through my chest from behind! I was in so much pain and
EVOLETIf leaving Wolf Fall was the best solution, I would have agreed to the idea in a heartbeat and find a way to convince Mom to listen. But after seeing those dreams in just one day, I can boldly say that the late Queen wants my help in putting Queen Chriselda in her right place for good.For years, I grew up thinking Luna Violet was attacked by the creatures she showed love and care to, believing Queen Chriselda took over her place for the betterment of every Werewolf.That’s what she fed the whole Werewolves, making them think she’s a heroine and a true Queen.But everything is a lie. The whole story is nothing but a fallacy!If you turn on the TV, you’ll see stations from other Wolf Packs sparing some moment to talk about Chriselda and her bravery in the past. But we have all been leaving in lies for ages.She is no hero, but a murderer. She killed the late Queen out of greed.And now I can clearly see that she has been using the late Luna to hide her crime, by always reminding
EVOLET“Ready?” Cadell asked.I was on his back, rethinking my decision and the adventure that awaits me. Nodding, I responded, “Yeah, I’m ready.” Carefully, I wrapped my arms around him, hanging on tight.“Alright, here we go.” Speedily, he dashed off, making his way for the forest.I would have suggested the normal exit out of Wolf Fall, but one needs a pass to make that possible. Having none would only cause a problem for Cadell and I.Well, I didn’t even bother to mention it but chose the best way out, and that’s the forest. It’s linked to so many areas and it’s the safest route for us.I held Cadell close, watching him run pass buildings and people without being seen. That’s because of his speed. It’s beyond the normal pace of a werewolf and their eyes.It made me admire his uniqueness, feeling glad to be close to someone like him, despite his craziness.I can still recall the first time he carried me like this. He was running away from the guards and I somehow got tangled in the
QUEEN CHRISELDA“Please, enjoy yourselves,” I smiled, inviting the parents of the six damsels left for the hunt, into my home.They all bowed at me, expressing their delight to be at the presence of their great Queen, me.I had to do this just to disguise my true motive behind this invitation. I just wanted to see Fiona’s mother face to face for the first time, and get her ready for her daughter’s bonding ceremony with my son. When I laid my eyes on her, I could see why Fiona possessed the same attributes as me. Her mother has the aura of a proud beast. Her shoulder lifted above others, making it easy for me to identify her without Fiona coming out of her room to point her out.A true mother indeed.“Just three more days to go and my Allen would be mated to my sweet Fiona.” I grinned at the parents, inviting them into the dining room to dine with me.“Please, have a seat,” I said, taking mine.As the parents made their way to their respected seats, I gestured Fiona’s mother over. Her
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
