Hi everyone. This marks the end of Book 1. I will publish the second book in a week or so. Thank you for your support. :)
PROLOGUE It is said that there will be a time when a great and powerful Alpha shall grace the Werewolf World. Not many will know the Alpha’s true identity, and no-one knows whether the Alpha will be male or female. The Alpha will be very influential and they will be respected by all, royals and councils included. They will also be granted a soul mate that will love them until the end of time and share in their power. They will first go through trials and tribulations to test them, but should they succeed, they will stand tall as the rightful Alpha they are meant to be. Throughout the centuries, children have been told the story of the great Alpha to come, and Alphas to be, have often wondered if they were the prophesised Alpha. Everyone knows the tale of the Great Alpha and most people have believed that the Great Alpha to be would be a man, and not a woman, which is exactly what Calypso Henriques had always been taught. “Papa, why d
Having spaced out linking her mate, she’d missed hearing the bell, and Calypso wasn’t beside her. She could hear a ruckus going on outside and she rushed to find everyone running to the cafeteria. Upon entry, she felt her heart drop to her toes as she took in the scene before her. Her much weaker best friend was in the middle of an arm wrestle with the Beta to be of the pack, but that’s not what her blood running cold. Almost half of Calypso’s face was swelling and it looked like she had a broken nose from the blood running from it, and yet no-one else cared. They were all instead entertained by the death match that her best friend had decided to sign up for. When the charade was over, that’s how they found themselves in the bathroom, with Calypso spacing out again. “Cally, please talk to me! What the hell is going on with you today? Who hit you?” Samantha begged. “Oh, I asked Polly to punch me and she willingly obliged, twice,” Calypso smile
Calypso felt like she’d been walking for a while when she came to the end of the woods. She was somewhat disappointed by the journey. For woods that were proclaimed to have been so dark, she didn’t understand what the big deal was.She sat down and smiled to herself, until she felt a chilling presence beside her. She fearfully looked up, only to be met by curious, red eyes. Deep inside, she knew she had nothing to fear as the guy sat down next to her, even though he was probably as white as milk itself.“Hello there beautiful,” his silky voice was accompanied by a lazy smile.“Hi,” she shyly replied with a blush. Besides Samantha and Jordan, no-one else had ever called her beautiful.“What’s a sweet little thing like you doing in such a dangerous place, at this time of day?” he asked.She frowned. “Would you believe me if I told you that a voice told me to leave my home and all I know, and
“No,” Samantha whispered as numbness took over.“She left you guys this,” Clara said, handing over the note she found in Calypso’s room. By now everyone was gathering around to find out what was going on.Jordan and Samantha stood side by side as they read the short note from their best friend:Dear Sammy and DannyI don’t know how else to tell you this, but I’m leaving. I’m not sure why I’m leaving, but I am. I think it’s something I have to do since something in me says I have to.I don’t know when I’m going to see you again, and I know that you’re going to go looking for me as soon as you see this, but something tells me you won’t find me. You’re going to have to be patient I guess. I’ll see you guys again soon enough; that’s if I don’t die from this journey.I love you guys more than you will ever kno
Killian made it back to the pack house in the early hours of the morning, and everyone was already asleep. He wasn’t all that surprised to find Jordan and Samantha in the kitchen as he went to drink water. He was already angry at them, which is why he didn’t say anything to them. He was about to walk out of the kitchen when they stopped him.“Is she your mate?” Jordan came out with it.“I don’t know but I’m crazy protective of her, even more than the two of you apparently,” Killian mumbled the last part.“Your wolf would’ve recognized her if she was,” Samantha commented.“My wolf would’ve recognized hers if she was, but since her wolf hasn’t exactly surfaced, I wouldn’t know,” Killian corrected. Samantha and Jordan knew that he had a point.“Did you find her?” Samantha dared to ask. The look she received in return told her how stupid her ques
Tyson Cannon was sitting in his office, going through some documents. In the back of his mind, he was thinking about the revolution that the vampires had decided to start against their own Royals. He found it ridiculous because he found nothing wrong with wanting power. He himself relished in it, and he was sure that he was the prophesised Great Alpha. He had all the signs and status, so it was only a matter of time before it kicked in.“Alpha, the vampires are in town again,” Beck, his Beta alerted him.“Let’s go,” Tyson said, dropping everything.He wanted to have a word with the elite vampires he’d heard were around, but every time he tried, they would disappear and he was hoping that this time would be different. He headed into his sports car and sped to the town, with Beck and his Enforcer, Cain in tow. They parked their cars and quickly headed into the mall.“Any idea where to from here?” Tyson asked B
Killian came back into the house from a refreshing run and ran up to his room to take a quick shower. He wasn’t all that surprised to step out of the shower in his towel to find Polly lying on his bed in just her underwear.He sighed in annoyance. “You just don’t give up, do you?”“Come on Killian! You can’t possibly resist all this,” she purred, or at least attempted to. It sounded wrong to his ears.“Polly, I don’t have time for you, and I never will, so do yourself a favour and get out,” he smiled politely.“You will give in to me one of these days Killian!” she said determinedly before storming out of the room. He shook his head and stepped into his closet to get dressed. He was taken aback to find Samantha on his bed this time. Thankfully she was dressed but she was in tears.“Sam?” he frowned.“I’m sorry ok? You were right! We should’v
Calypso felt herself being shaken and her sapphire eyes opened to be met by hazel eyes that had her heart fluttering. For a split second, they held worry and an emotion she could only pinpoint as love, before they were clouded by blankness. She frowned when the person moved back, only to reveal a guy who made her feel funny.He was frowning at her. “What the hell was that?”“I take it you’re referring to the nightmares I seem to be getting lately. Just so you know, you’re about the tenth person to tell me about them, and for the record, I don’t remember this, neither do I know what the nightmare was about,” she amazed herself by explaining. Even the guy in the room looked stunned.“You have quite the mouth on you,” he admitted.“I also don’t know who you are, or where I am,” she noted. His voice was familiar, but she couldn’t pinpoint from where.“My name is Tyson,&
That was the last straw and Phillip commanded the wolves to attack. The pack members watched on in amazement from their hiding places as the Werewolf Prince and Princess took on the rogues by themselves.“Are we even needed here?” Harlan joked lowly, causing silent laughter amongst everyone.It wasn’t long before the rogues were down to half. As Killian had suspected, Phillip had a backup plan as more rogues showed up. Harlan’s question was answered when it started to look like there were too many for the royal siblings to face.And so, the pack came out of hiding to join the fight.Phillip was acting on intel he’d received from his spies and The Assembly of Warriors, but as he watched the fight before him, he realized that he’d been deceived. The intel he’d received led him to believe that this was a fight he could win.And he finally understood then why the crown was never meant to be his.He’d lived in Julio’s shadow for as long as he could remember, and he knew what the people thou
Killian turned to Nathan. “Are you ready to take him on and take the crown?”Nathan nodded. “As I’ll ever be.”Killian turned back to Hunter. “Any sighting of Jeremiah?”Hunter linked Wayne who was at the border before responding. “According to Wayne, he doesn’t seem to be with the group.”“So, how are we going about this?” Cassidy asked.“Well, one can only assume Phillip rallied up some rogues. If that’s the case, we take them out. If, by some off chance, he’s rallied the royal pack, then we only knock them out. They would be under his command, and as King, I’d be able to break it,” Nathan took charge.“Then there’s no need to involve the Lycans. I’d like for them to remain a secret for as long as we can keep the secret. The werewolves will take this fight. You’ll relay the instructions to them,” Killian told the Werewolf Prince.“We’ll also lay back and watch,” Zen added on behalf of the vampires.Killian linked the pack, asking the werewolves to meet him outside. Thanks to Cain’s
Back at Calypso’s pack house, the weather was changing. The skies were unexpectedly darkening, something that thrilled Calypso for whatever reason. She headed to her room to change, before heading outside.Noticing her change in outfit, Cassidy was confused. “Cals, why are you in your training gear?”Calypso shrugged. “Haven’t trained in a while.”It had been almost a year.Cassidy made the realization too. “Huh, guess we can go for some rounds. I’ll be back.”Calypso decided to stretch while waiting for her sister. Word was getting around to the pack members as they gathered around to wacth. Cassidy joined her in stretching just as word got around to Nathan, Cain, and Zen.“Isn’t this an unfair fight?” Zen questioned.“They’re both fantastic fighters in their human forms. The fight becomes uneven if Cally shifts,” Cain corrected.Nathan was particularly excited to see his mate fight. He’d only seen her fight a handful of times, and never against an opponent as powerful as Calypso. No
Jordan sat in the dark, completely exhausted. His wolf had finally settled down, but he found himself feeling empty. Something didn’t feel right. He felt like he’d been played somehow, but couldn’t think of how he even came to that conclusion.He tried to think about why his wolf had lost control, and the beast had shut him out. His pack had gone into hiding, and his memories were filled with a woman he couldn’t recall the name of.He just knew that she meant the world to him.And yet he didn’t feel a mate pull to her.In fact, he felt the very opposite. He felt mateless, like there was still someone out there for him. Something about the notion unsettled him, and the harder he thought about why that was, the more his headache worsened.What he didn’t know was that Amaya had managed to manipulate his memories of Samantha, with help from the Moon Goddess. With Samantha no longer being his mate, they felt that he didn’t need to remember her.Jeremiah arrived at the Twilight Moon Pack an
Elsewhere, the Grey family had just arrived at the area where Amaya’s pack used to be. The older woman felt her heart constrict at the loss she experienced when she was last here. Edward reached out to hold her hand, squeezing it.“How come there’s nothing here?” Samantha asked as they stared out at the nothingness.Amaya sighed. “That’s probably my fault. I lost everyone important to me that day, except you three, and out of anger, I lashed out and cursed the land. I don’t doubt that people tried over the years to occupy the land, but my spell would’ve eventually driven them away.”Killian touched his mother’s shoulder out of comfort. “Did you guys ever find out who attacked the pack?”Edward shook his head. “We’ve had our theories over the years, but no concrete evidence ever led us down a certain path.”“What about Hans’ descendants?” Kill
They arrived to an empty pack house, unaware that everyone had been instructed to steer clear. They searched the house, finding it strange that the massive pack had disappeared. It wasn’t until they got outside that they were truly mystified.“Where did everyone go?” Vera asked her mate.He was about to respond when his sense caught the high-speed arrow headed their way. He managed to dodge it and get Vera behind him at the same time. There were many more arrows shot their way, and he realized they were under attack.“Go back inside,” he told Vera.He didn’t question why she willingly complied as he was focused on defending his sister’s home. “Whoever you are, show your face.”Instead of a face, a dagger was flung his way, and soon the daggers replaced the arrows. He dodged them all with ease before a group of vampires he’d never before encountered came out of the woods.“Is t
He had locked himself away in the war room, and Vera sighed to herself when she realized that he hadn’t paid her any attention in a while. She couldn’t complain though – not when she knew that he was holding things in.A lot had happened since Calypso had come back into his life, and things were already shaky even before she did. It had only been a couple of months since they’d gotten married, and with the vampire kingdom struggling with unrest, it was almost a reflection of their relationship.She loved Zen with her entire being, that much she’d never contest, but she found herself curious about what life would’ve looked like had she been mated with a normal vampire. Things with Zen had been passionate from the moment they met, but he’d always carried a burden with him.A burden she finally had unravelled before her.There was a lot happening around them, but she was grateful for it all – grateful
While rooms were being prepared for them, Killian led his parents to his office, while Samantha grabbed Calypso’s hand, leading them outside. Calypso understood that Samantha needed someone to talk to, and in that moment she was that person.“I’m so confused,” Samantha started off.“I can just imagine,” Calypso commented.“It makes sense, but at the same time it doesn’t you know? I mean, what the hell is a Lycan? There’s so much going on and I’m just so lost,” Samantha panicked.“The first thing you’re going to do is breathe, and then you’re going to listen to me ok?” Calypso told her.She nodded before Calypso fully let her in on everything. Now that it was clear which side Samantha was on, Calypso knew that she would need to know everything, especially with the looming danger everywhere.Samantha sat, listening intently. Calypso filled her in on the g
Jeremiah felt like his life stood still. For the first time since his father has said it, it settled on him that his son was gone, but what his mate was saying terrified him even more. He knew many people with blue eyes, but none like Calypso and his son.“The girl had blue eyes like Xavier’s?” he questioned.“She told me what you did to her. They told me that they had you held hostage, and when I tried to protect Xavier, her mate knocked me out. When I woke up, Xavier was gone,” she explained.Jeremiah’s head was spinning as he tried to make sense of what she was saying. According to her, Calypso and Killian had come to fetch Xavier, and they did so while they had him hostage, and yet all he could remember was coming to the castle straight from the wedding.Nothing made sense to him.However, how else would his mate have known about Calypso if she wasn’t telling the truth?“Somebody i
