After Alicia is rejected by Alpha Eric, she runs away from the pack. Years later she gets another mate, Alpha Drake. However, war breaks out pitting her own brother against her mate. Alpha Eric is also involved, and maybe this is a good time for Alicia to revenge for what he did to her.
View MoreALICIA Aunt Regina and I share a few moments, but I don't reveal anything about myself to her. I even decline an offer to take me to my parents. At first it looks like a good idea, where I can go and bide my time waiting for the war to end, but then I am a fighter, and I belong to the battlefield. Secondly, my mate is worried about my whereabouts and I want to end his anxiety so that he can participate in the war without worrying about me.“Listen aunt, I can't go to my parents. I want to go somewhere else right away.” I tell her when she insists on taking me home.“You never cease to amaze me my child. But where are you going?” She has already brought me some of her clothes, and when I wear them they are so tight. I bet I am bigger than her by a few inches. We have joked about my weight for a while and laughed a little. Perhaps this was what I needed, a light moment. “Aren't you afraid of what might happen to you when they find out that you let me go?” I avoid her question, opting
ANDREW'S POV The door is going to open any moment now. Someone has been fiddling with the padlocks for some time and I can hear every time he succeeds in picking through one. I have already deduced that they are Invaders, having heard earlier as they slaughtered the guards. They want me now, to slaughter me too, but I won't let it happen so easily.I already know about the existence of a death sentence on me and slaying their leader in battle must have added some salt into a fresh wound. They must be on fire.The hut doesn't have any single weapon I can defend myself with, and I get too anxious every minute a padlock is unlocked. They must be experts in this art.Then at last I hear them disengaging the bolts and I know that my time has come, to live or to die. I position myself strategically behind the door and wait, as the door slowly squeaks and finally opens. My adrenaline levels are at an all time high, and I am ready for any eventuality.What comes in first is a sword, the tip
ALICIA I am floating inside what looks like a bottomless void. I try to establish some footing but I am powerless, so weak. I look around and all I can see is an vast plain, shrouded in endless spires of mist.“Am I in heaven? Then does that mean that I died?” I mutter to myself.Then it dawns on me that I am actually dead. Maybe I am somewhere in heaven's holding chamber, being cleared to get in. This explains the lack of energy in me. I am in the spiritual realm, I am no longer on earth, my body must have died.Everything comes back to me and I remember how my body suffered on earth. The wolves bane in my blood, the bruises and the substance Eric injected into my veins. My body couldn't hold all that poison, and that's how it died. I break into tears, tears of agony, of hatred. I should not have died before exacting revenge on Eric. I had vowed to teach him a very good lesson for what he did to me when he rejected me years ago. Not to mention all the torture he subjected me to rec
DRAKE'S POVYesterday was the day the war was fought fiercely. We have never fought like this before. Some rogues took us away from the battlefield but we managed to subdue them. All in all the rogue army was beaten to a pulp and if they manage to rise again then I'll applaud their spirit. By the time we left the battleground there were about a hundred of their fighters dead and a large number wounded. Their top commanders had escaped or hidden from the Juggernaut that was our army. Whatever had motivated us should stay with us even today and into the future.However we suffered losses too and our biggest loss was the death of one of our leaders, the Gamma of Lazarus' pack. He had charged at Andrew Waters with at least four of our men. Andrew had injured the men and struck a lethal blow on the Gamma, killing him on the spot. We learned of his death very late in the evening because we came back late. His trusted men brought his body home and his family and the whole pack were inconsola
ALICIA “Find the camp where I was being held before I was brought here Valerie. I need to send a message to my brother being held there.” I whisper to Valerie.“I know where it is. The guards here don't keep secrets.” She tells me.“Please, go there and find where they have kept a man known as Andrew. He is my brother. If you manage to see him, tell me where I am.” I say.“Anything for you Alicia. I will try all I can to ensure you are released.” She says.“Well, leave now before the guards throw you out.” I say. She walks out slowly, her shoulders heavy. She's carrying so much weight on her mind. After she's gone I manage to sleep a few winks.It takes what looks like eternity for morning to come, but eventually it does come. I am in so much pain and so weak but the natural light that is slowly creeping in gives me some hope. Drake must be looking for me now, very seriously. He knows about the rogue camp and that is where he will look first, then I hope he will search deeper and fin
ALICIA Later in the night the chains that pin me to the wall are removed and I am put into hand cuffs. Two other people come in, carrying a small table that they place at a corner a short distance away from me. As they walk out I notice an assortment of weapons on top of the table. They include knives, razor blades, scalpels and some other crude weapons. I know what is going to follow.“Alicia, I bring you a visitor. Be kind to him." Abed says. The two men consult for a while but I don't hear what they say. Abed walks out immediately and I hear his footsteps as they fade into the corridor.“Alicia, as you can see, I am here to persuade you. My name is Dwayne and I am here to replace Abed who has been given some other assignments. I am a bit reasonable and if you cooperate you will find that I am a cool guy." He says. I keep quiet. He starts circling the cell. “My role here is very simple." He says from behind me. “I want you to denounce Drake as your mate, and once you do that I wil
ALICIA The door to the hut opens and I spring up from my corner. I have managed to sleep on the damp floor and the visitors have just woken me up. There is a familiar scent, that of Eric.“Bring her out, but leave her criminal brother. We'll deal with him later.” He instructs.Two females walk quickly to where I am and frogmarch me towards the door. I can sense that Andrew is watching us, so I see no need to alert him.“Wait!” He growls in the darkness. “Where are you taking my sister?” No one answers him. I see him struggling to get up, but he's handcuffed from behind.“Touch her and I'll kill you with my bare hands Eric. Do anything to her and you will regret you loser!” He shouts. Eric walks in just as we approach the door.“Shut up Andrew. You are going to die, having outlived your usefulness. You sabotaged our mission and helped your sister to kill our warriors. I'd worry about myself if I were you.” Eric taunts him before walking behind us, then locking the door. I can still he
ANDREW They have brought Alicia to the camp, a camp that has been razed to the ground and all prisoners released and evacuated. Bodies of our dead warriors litter the compound and there's no evidence of any fighting. This means that they were found unawares or even sleeping as usual and murdered in cold blood.Brice can see what his lax warriors have brought unto us, and now more than anything else we need shelter from the elements. Then there's the thorny issue of my sister Alicia. She has regained consciousness but now she is very weak and even though her eyes are open she can't talk. She still lies on the stretcher she was brought in as Alpha Eric assesses the damage or what is left in our camp. There's nothing much to see as the only remaining structure in the whole compound is the hut that has the radio equipment and also acts as an extra cell for prisoners. I decide to stay besides Alicia and wait for Eric to come back and explain to me why he has taken my sister. I understand
ALICIA The next morning the war starts in earnest. Our side is very energized as we move out of the camp, marching towards the battlefield. There are four commanders today, the Gamma, the Beta, Alpha Lazarus and Alpha Drake. I'm also among the leaders of a women only battalion with about one hundred warriors.The warriors, more enthusiastic than before, are chanting victory songs for their respective leaders, praising and extolling them. My warriors praise me as the first ever woman wartime Luna who has left the comfort of her pack house and joined the battleground to fight for honor and friendship.“Hail the slayer of demon Patricia! Hail the great Alicia!” They chant.Today I feel it's going to be a day like no other, the spoils will be many. Something tells me that today will mark a turning point in this war. I'm certain that things will turn for the better.We get to the big clearing that is the battleground and we run to meet our enemies, each side shouting loud chants, ready to
ALICIA It's on a Friday afternoon and I can't concentrate in class. The lecturer keeps looking my way and I pretend that I am serious but my mind is far away. I am thinking about my former pack which is miles away, where I fled after being rejected by the Alpha. My memory goes back to the night when it all happened.We were all gathered at the pack house for a party organized by Benedict, our Alpha. His son Eric was celebrating his twentieth birthday and this was the opportune moment to crown him as the new Alpha.My mother had tagged me along against my wishes. She insisted on taking me with her because the Alpha had decreed that every pack member should attend the party. The reason I didn't want to attend was because I knew Eric as a very contemptuous person who looked down on those below him.At the party I stayed outside because I didn't want to encounter him and the kind of friends he kept. I went to the swimming pool and relaxed on the reclining sofa, listening to the loud mus...
