The task at hand was nothing normal. I was about to lead the All Alpha meet, instead of my father. Probably the only one to lead such a meet without being an Alpha, herself. Herself? What was I even thinking about?Whoever, ever heard of a woman Alpha King? It was all mythical. It was all, only a fable. " The Alphas' have arrived , Sherizad, " it was the voice, that I was trying to avoid. It was Ryan. And somehow his presence was making me very uncomfortable. I wanted to not even look at his face but it was tempting, nevertheless. And somehow, after learning about the truth about his parents, I felt like an idiot, acting so rogue on my impulse. Could I have not tried talking to him, one last time, face to face, before jumping in for the marriage? " Sherizad... They are waiting for you. Come on. Come and lead the meet like your father would have... " His voice brought me back from my trails of thought. " Like my father? " I scoffed as I stood up to leave through the gate. " I am a
It was weird how everyone's demeanor towards me, changed after the seal on my back, confirmed my legitimacy, as my father's heir. Even my half brothers visited me one by one, vowing their obedience and assistance. I knew that some of my ministers and the other Alphas were not very pleased with my position. Yet they smiled and nodded at me in public. But I knew that they would bare their vision fangs behind my back. Ryan had gone back to his tribe. We were preparing for battle. We would launch a joint assault on the Northern lands, each pack would surround it on each of uta sides. Ryan had also gone to find the old practitioners of the dark arts. We would need their full assistance if we were up against dark forces. I was a little preoccupied. I had to sort things out at my own pack. Tristan had not yet recovered consciousness and his pack was restless at the situation. I had to put things in order at his place as well. We decided to move both the packs strategically, so we could h
I could not understand much of what I had witnessed. But one thing was certain, if the credibility of the mysterious man was exempted, the northern chief and Ryan's clan, had something intricate. It was almost dawn and I couldn't sleep well. With the first ray of the morning light, I gathered Midnight and a few chiefs. We rode off towards Ryan's tribe. The battle was just brewing. " Sherizad? Midnight? Whoah! Why are you guys so early? "It was Josh. We met him right at the entrance to their tribe. He was probably out there attending his nature's call or just wandering. " It's Alpha Sherizad, you, thick head... "Beck came in from no where and hit Josh right at the back of his head. He smiled and bowed as we passed right beside them. I could hear them bickering at the back which made me smile a little. " What a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting you so early... " it was Ryan. He remarked as he extended his arm, trying to help me dismount. I sprang beside him without accepting,
" Your father must have foreseen something for him to hand over these weapons to you, before his demise. "Another remark that blew me off track. We were en route to the Northern lands. Ryan's mysterious uncle was behind us as well. He promised to lead us to the last post where he himself was allowed. " What do you mean? "I , naturally slowed down ." Did you know my father? "" I might have. " He smiled. Then he positioned himself between myself and the rest of my team in such a manner that only I would be able to hear what he says. " That tree over there, is the last post till where I will be able to accompany you guys.""Why? I mean why can you not cross that land? "I knew that he specifically asked us not to ask about that but I took the liberty. " Ahhh! You are quite a girl I see. Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you since we both will be sharing some more secrecy. " He flashed his contagious smile again, " You see that thing that rules those lands have a dark source.
I had Sherizad's dagger in my hand. I was sitting in my study. My doors were shut for everyone at the moment. Even for Sherry, the human. I know my boys were worried and so was Chong but I had the very weapon with which Sherizad had annihilated my entire clan, along with herself. I thought it was gone. But here it was , right in between my palms. I brought out my own spectre and kept it beside her dagger on my study table. The only one missing was the sun sword that Tristan had. It was missing as well and I somehow had an urge. I had a feeling that I needed to find it as well. I felt like this was part of some missing puzzle. I felt like it would be the key to the answers to my questions. The answers that I never got to ask Sherizad and the ones she could never answer. I didn't want anybody to trouble me at the moment but it felt like chaos was part of my existence. I could hear some commotion, coming from the front gate. I could hear my boys talking and I could also hear Sherry
It was a week-long battle. A battle it was, just in name, it was basically a massacre. The moment we stepped inside those lands the day turned into darkness. It was nothing like the empty lands that we had visited. It was, as if, they were waiting for us with armed hands. " Spread out. Look for the other packs. "I could hear Ryan yell out the orders as a terrible blizzard suddenly came at our direction. We could tell it wasn't a natural phenomenon. The blizzard was accompanied with several ghastly apparitions. Each threatning one, with an different terror. It was as if we had stepped inside a mirage of madness. It was becoming difficult to tell fake from real.In the middle of that madness our days went by. Bodies fell here and there. It would have been easy for those minions of darkness to get rid of all of us but they chose meticulously, whom to kill and whom to play with. My eyes had been fixed on Ryan, at least I had been trying. Finally when the dark fog settled, I ran
" What nonsense! How can he be gone? What do you mean? "We were mid-air, when Ryan received the information. " I was kind of expecting it. He was taken out of the hospital. They caught two men escorting him out in the surveillance camera. Their faces were covered and they both wore black hoodies... "" So they couldn't be identified... "It had come as a shock to know that my father possessed something valuable like that sword K had brought . And now to learn about him being kidnapped was another thing. It was starting to feel like I didn't even know me, my own self. I sank back into my seat as the chopper turned around. I didn't bother to ask Ryan. I was no longer interested. There were creatures who weren't human, like Ryan, living within our society. Beasts that roamed free. Would my father be safe, in such a world. I couldn't help but worry. " Where are we headed? " I finally asked. Ryan didn't answer. He seemed lost in his thoughts as well. When we got off the chopper, I u
He was like the hungry wolf and it was more apt, now that I knew his reality. He was as impatient as our first night. Well, basically half of it. We never got to finish the act at that time. His kisses ravaged all over my neck as his hands mishandled me. It felt good. It felt raw. And my moans and groans were begging him to continue what he was doing. He ripped my dress off with his fangs as I saw his beastly side slowly arising. Strangely, I wasn't scared. There was a weird sense of familiarity. I could see my chest heaving so loudly that I was afraid my heart would pop out, as his tongue traveled towards the ends of my bra straps as he was about to undress me completely."Sherizad... why did you leave me? " he mumbled as he flung my innerwear to the side. I pulled my neck up to see where it was landing but he grabbed my neck and thrust his body weight over me. His embrace felt wild. His embrace felt comforting. He was like a big dog, snuggling so hard, looking for someone to
