Xavier stared at the guards as they walked in and from the bleak expression on their faces he could tell that whatever they had come to tell him was not good news.

“Hope you two have not come in here to spoil my already bad day with worse news?” Xavier grunted. “If it’s not about Rhea or Jimin, I don’t want want to hear it. Whatever it is you want to say to me can wait till we’ve found them.”

“It’s about Rhea, my king,” the first guard replied. “Come with us. We have something to show you.”

They walked ahead of Xavier, leading him all the way into Rhea’s room and Xavier paused at the door.

“This is not the best time for a joke you know,” Xavier said. “So if this some sort of prank you’d better call it off now.”

“It’s not a prank my king,” the guard replied. “Come on in.”

Xavier walked into the room he had already been in earlier and looked around. The bed was still scattered as it was when he had come in but every other place was well arranged. Everything was in its place.

    “I want every single one of you searching for Rhea and Jimin now!” Xavier grunted. “The first person to get their scent would get a prize from me, and trust me, I’m far more generous than Ghost. I would never ever slay the person that gives me what I want when I want it.”“Yes Alpha,” they replied and bounded out immediately.Xavier grunted and walked out of the room. He was fuming in anger. That bastard, Cain had successfully turned the heart of over thirty of his best men against him and he didn’t even see it coming. If he had known, he would have never made Cain a commander in his army. He had seen him as a loyal and down to earth person and coupled with the facts that he had a few skills that many wolves couldn’t boast off, Xavier had quickly gone ahead to name him as his latest general.“Alpha Xavier,” a voice came from behind him and Xavier turned to see that it was Megan.He stared at Megan, a frown coming across his face. “Do you have any information that would make our search

    Rhea looked over her shoulder at Xavier approaching them and frowned. One of the many perks of being the daughter of the lycan king was that your scent was so peculiar that even a day old pup could keep tabs on you.“Act normal,” Calistè grunted, noticing that Rhea’s hands were shaking.“How in heaven’s name do you want me to act normal!” Rhea muttered back. “Can’t you see that they’re here already.”Rhea turned around to see that Xavier was already standing behind her and she smiled at him.“Hey Xavier…”“Rhea,” Xavier stared her down. “What are you doing out here by this time in an abandoned vets office at St. Jacques?”Rhea would have lied but it was no use lying to him. It was all there - Calistè, Jimin, the dead body of her ex boyfriend that was struggling to get to his master again. She knew how it would sound if she told Xavier that she came to see her ex and for a split second, the part of her that dared to have a little fun with him, considered blurting it out.“Remember the

    Calistè frowned at Layla and opened her mouth to say something but Layla quickly cut her short.“Come on, witch,” Layla grunted. “You of all people should know that I was joking. Of course we’re all smart. If we put our heads together, I believe we can solve the riddle, whatever it is in no time.”“I envy your pessimism,” Rhea smiled at her. “Although I’ve lived with Mork for the better part of my life and I still couldn’t get a finger on what that riddle was even talking about.”“Because you never paid any attention to him,” Layla smiled at her. “Maybe he even liked you. If you had asked nicely I’m sure he would have told you what you wanted to hear.”“Well guess who didn’t give me the chance to ask nicely,” Rhea frowned and turned to Calistè.“Hey!” Calistè protested. “You can’t blame me for his death. He was proving to be strong headed. He didn’t want to spill.”“Still,” Rhea murmured. “He would be more useful to us alive than dead. Now we have to spend hours solving a dumb riddle.

    Ghost reclined on his royal chair without a care in the world. His mind was racing and he was excited. With the latest discovery from his top agent, Chloe, he was sure that it was only a matter of time before Xavier and his Black Wolf Pack came crumbling down. He turned around, looking for any of his guards and found one snoring away at the corner of the throne room.“Sylvester!” Ghost growled.The guard woke up with a start and looked around to see who had called him. He found Ghost staring straight at him and he sat up immediately at alert.“I didn’t know you needed me,” he stood up immediately. “I slept off.”“I can see that,” Ghost replied. “Is there any word from my adviser yet?”“Not any my king,” Sylvester replied. “Although I’ve heard rumors that he went out partying with a few of his friends.”Ghost stared at him for a while before turning back to face the throne.“What news do you have about the other bastard that refused to bow down before me?”“There is no new news about h

    Chloe made her way gingerly across the woods. She walked, ran, hopped, anything at all to increase her speed and her chances of completing the assignment that Ghost had given to her before the clock struck twelve. That, as Ghost had agreed with her was the only condition in which he was going to allow her friend live. He had refused to follow her on the mission and Ghost was pissed to death. He had already sent his guards to behead him in the dungeons but Chloe had pleaded for his life. Ghost had told her that the only thing that was going to make Syke live was her. She had to bring in the daughter of Alpha Ferran from the custody of Xavier before the clock struck twelve and her friend would live.Chloe had agreed to the deal immediately and set off, with her knife and dagger stashed in a leather pouch hanging around her waist. Chloe would have never believed that she would spend an extra second thinking about Syke but their brief relationship after getting booted out by the Black Wol

    "You want to take the princess on a stroll?" Sebastian frowned, staring at her."Yes," Chloe shrugged. "Anything wrong with that?""Not at all," Sebastian laughed. "Just that it's weird seeing a guard of the Black Wolf Pack trying to be friendly with Megan. Since I got here, all they've been talking about is how she's changed from the quiet and friendly Omega they used to know back in the pack. Apparently, no one likes her anymore. It's very strange to see that there's still someone in the pack who even wants to have something to do with Megan after all.""Maybe I'm different in my own way," Chloe smiled at him. "Or maybe I want to torment her too. You can never know if you don't let me have that stroll with her.""You're mysterious," Sebastian smiled at her. "I like them with a little touch of mystery, a bit unpredictable, just exactly the way you are."Chloe smiled at his remarks and waited, hoping he would hand over the key to the room where she was locked."I can't allow you go wi

    Sebastian turned around, confused. Never in his life had he seen a crowd as much as that all running towards the same place and he knew immediately that a stampede was imminent. He got out of the way before they ran into him and screamed at the top of his voice.“What in heaven’s name is going on here!”They all stopped and began to murmur amongst themselves while a few of them who were at the back struggled to come forward.“Yes?” Sebastian stared at them waiting for an explanation that could give him some more insight on why they were running around like mad people.“Would any of you here care to explain to me why you’re running around?”The guard that Chloe had spoken to walked forward to meet Sebastian. He watched as she made her way to the front still panting and once she had gotten to where he was, she spoke up.“We got your message from the guard,” she said amidst heavy breathing. “You said that the Alpha wanted to have an emergency meeting with all of us and if we came late, o

    When Layla’s eyes opened again, she was in unfamiliar territory.She kicked her shoes against each other, trying to get rid of the grasses that had stuck by the sides and she wondered if that was how the moon goddess’s marble journeys always worked. To her, it had only been a minute or even less, but she knew that if she had taken the normal route, it would have been longer.She dusted her jeans and started walking towards the huge building that lay ahead of her. She knew very well that it was Ghost Damon’s castle at the center of the pack but she didn’t care much. First things first, she had died already so there was nothing worse than that. Second things second, she didn’t think that Ghost or any of his stupid servants were strong enough to hold her down. She knew that she could defeat them all. What she needed was a good start to the day and there was no better start to a day of spoiling an enemy’s camp than killing the first guard in a matter of seconds.Layla’s day couldn’t have

    “Rhea? Helping? After all I told you about her?”The disgust on Jimin’s face was pretty much obvious and Xavier knew that it was going to take more than mere words to convince his Beta that the Lycan kings daughter was actually on their side.“She’s helping out with Calistè,” Xavier frowned staring at Jimin. “She saved my life and i really think we should give her a chance.”“Well I don’t think we should,” Jimin sighed. “After all that she’s done, but if that’s what you want, who am into argue with you?”Jimin turned around immediately and stormed out and Xavier watched as he left. He turned to face Jaime and Layla who had been quiet all the while and he stared at them.“What’s with the look?” Layla frowned. “Come on let’s go help your Luna. I want to be an aunty very soon.”Xavier smiled and blushed and bolted towards the sound of the clanking swords. He was happy that his sister had gotten over her hatred for Rhea and he knew that with her on his side now they were going to defeat C

    "Hunny! Did you miss me?" Calistè gave a smug smile while Xavier stared in shock."You…yo " he tried to speak but what befell his eyes was greater than what his mouth could speak out loud."Yeah. I understand" she made a mocking face." Now! Are we going to fight or what?" She grinned big time and whistled to her beasts.He beasts all came after the others that stood in the room, Layla immediately changed to a wolf, her teeth snarling and her roar as clear as crystal.Calistè raced towards Xavier, her sword in hand as she raised her arms and swung at Xavier.Xavier missed it by a beat and she smirked hard ."Oh, much I've waited for this!" She screamed and charged at Xavier again, her heels hotter than the very earth as she kept off.Meanwhile kycans began to climb the walls and started to hit the windows."Jimin! The windows" Jamie screamed while trying to fend off a beast who looked at him as though he was nothing more than food.Before jimin could think of anything else, the shatte

    Jimin watched as Layla rallied the group together in the small study, the space getting filled up immediately with eager faces ready to fight for their Alpha, for their kingdom. Jimin turned away from the group, striding into the main study and shutting it close behind him. When he turned around, Xavier was staring up at her, his hands frozen untop a map that he'd probably been gazing at before Jamie entered."You know you can join your sister and help with the planning. Instead of being all by yourself, worrying, like always." Jimin was satisfied with Xavier's severe frown, his forehead wrinkling. Xavier ignored him and went back to his perusal of the map. Jimin drew closer, his head tilting down to take in the almost real picture of their kingdom. Xavier had placed pins around the boarder, and was currently swirling one in his hand while staring at the map in concentration.He stuck the pin at a place that didn't make sense and let out a grunt of frustration. Jimin was confused and

  • RISE OF THE LAST ALPHA   CALISTÈ

    "You can't believe you can ever defeat me, right?" Calistè said with vigor and a growing grin coming up on her face."Just wait till I smack that stupid grin off your face" Rhea said, her brows nearly touching from anger."Make me?" She challenged.Rhea rushed at her, her hands holding two daggers now, her feet swift on the ground and her stance defensive even though she was the attacker now.Flames went up in different directions and Rhea glanced quickly to see that Layla had her hands on Xavier as he steadied his breath to catch his breathing and stop the bleeding that was now obvious.Rhea got even more angry as she dodged the attack on time, her face nearly been dissected by calistè's sharp sword."You know how I got this sword? Huh!" Calistè boasted and struck again, missing Rhea immediately from her swift and tricky movements."I have a feeling you're going to tell me anyway, so do" Rhea said and took another stance.With two of her fingers she gestured for calistè to meet her a

    Xavier looked from jimin to Layla with so much surprise."How did you know that?" Jamie asked the man in question but he didn't reply.He gestured to his fellow elders and they all went to take their various seats at their high tables."So tell us, Xavier. Why have you come back?" The eldest elder asked again.Xavier who was still managing to recover from how they knew about Rhea snapped out of his head and stepped forward in the council."I have lead this kingdom for a while and everybody can see my works" Xavier began and some of the elders nodded their heads to what he said but not Marcus."I have been away for quite some time" he looked intently at everyone" And I bring you news from the snowy mountains and others... Calistè is alive and well" the elders gasped in shock." And what's even more? — he paused Ashe examined each and everyone one of them including Marcus — she has beasts of her own"Gasps rang out from every corner and Xavier liked the fear it impacted on them, it was

    The fight took a lesser time to finish as they had gotten that source of information, blood and splatters of beast remains stained them and the very earth that they walked on. Layla couldn't help but feel very dirty about the whole scenario that played out in front of her."We've got to help the women and the children Xavier" she said while Xavier turned back into his human form.Xavier didn't utter a single word as he walked past her and back to where a horse had galloped to."Xavier!" She called for him, her feelings out on a platterXavier stopped walking but didn't turn to look at her."I'm talking to you. We should help them out Xavier" she said, her voice sharp and firm and this got Xavier turning to look at her square in the face and Layla was able to see just how much anger resided in his little orbs of crystal clear darkness."No" he said, a Huff if air coming out of his nostrils with his finality."What?" Layla asked, baffled by what the heck he could mean."You heard me rig

    "Calistè?" Jamie asked, astonished.layla didn't know what to say or how to respond, the whole world felt like it went silent and collapsed."She gathered up every last woman and child and took them with her alongside some beasts" a man spoke up." You've got to help us sire. You're our only hope now" the first man said. Xavier came out in front of jimin, his hands still placed on the scratch he had obtained."We journey to my Homeland, the black wolves" people began to murmur." We plan on taking back our Homeland and we plan on defeating calistè once and for all" Xavier said with an air of finality.The crowd stopped murmeeing and cheered a bit." Can we come with you?""Oh... Let us come with you!" Another said." Let him rest folks, wherever he goes, we go. We pledge our loyalty to you sure" the first man said again. Xavier didn't know what to make of all of these information and all of these kinds of response. He just gave a Curt nod and that was it. The men dispersed out of the h

    "What did you find?" Layla said with all seriousness. Jamie had so much excitement in his eyes as he jumped up and down." I found a shelter and jimin found food, we could make a camp fire later tonight" Jamie replied. Xavier nodded his head in agreement."Lead the way" Jamie was more than happy to do so.They walked together under Jamie's direction and lead, he would lead them to a path that had a sheltering , like a makeshift house but with tents. Jimin was bent over a hurdle of stacked sticks and on closer inspection, he was currently striking two stones together in order to produce fire."Jimin, let me help you with that" Layla said and walked ahead of the men to help jimin, in seconds she had done that which jimin had struggled with.With food on the raging fire, each of the flame licking a bit of the left over meat, night had quickly fallen on them."I have a question Xavier" Layla suddenly said, everybody's attention focused on her , the illumination the fire casted around the

    There was an obvious change in the air the next day, Xavier was calmer and for the first time, so was Layla. They had both had time to think, mostly Layla.Jamie had appeared out of nowhere, map in hand as he suddenly cleared their breakfast off of the table that had seen more of the good life than the ugly.He spread the map evenly and Xavier glanced at Layla just in the nick of time to see that same excitement he couldn't deny made him feel a spark." Xavier, lead the way" Jamie said as he stepped away from the map. Xavier who had been seated stood up and so did the rest. With their necks outstretched, they gathered around him like a flock of flightless birds in need of direction."We go through the Rocky mountain which should take a day but now that we have no means of flight or how to get there asides from our obvious walking, we'd have to take nearly two days to get there," he said, pointing at some steep and yet pointy figures that made its way to the map."What about going arou
