SYLVIA I leaned beside Simon, as we both were hidden behind the bushes outside my stepmother's cottage few miles away from the Viking pack.The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground as we spy."Are you ready for this?" Simon whispered, his eyes looking right into mine looking for certainty.I nodded in response, my heart raced with anticipation and curiosity. What would I find? Had my stepmother and stepsister changed any better or worst? I wondered in thoughts as I peeped through the leafs.We observed in silence as Vivian and Emily went about their day. The same routine, the same arguments of which they always carried out years back. It was as if time had stood still cause nothing seemed different to me.I felt a spark of sadness yet pleasure and satisfaction filling my soul. They were still trapped in their own world, obvious to the world outside. Nothing changed and hope seemed to have been distant away from them. I remembered how much more Em
ALPHAI stood outside my office, gazing out at the forest. The memory of the rogue attack still lingered, fueling my anger. I paced my steps returning back to work.I settled into my leather chair, running my hands through my hair. The weight of the pack's safety rested on my shoulders as thoughts of the sickness spread across, killing a high number of members played through. Sylvia has cured few, but more is needed. I scanned the papers on my desk, reviewing the latest patrol reports. The rogues had been quiet for too long, I knew they'd strike again soon.My gaze drifted to the window, watching the sun rise over the forest. The pack's lands were vast, but I knew every inch.I stood, pacing around the room in my reckless thoughts. The silence that enveloped my office was a welcome respite from the constant demands of being an Alpha.I stopped in front of a framed photo as I looked at my late parents, the previous Alphas. Their strength and wisdom guided me.I took a deep breath as I
ALPHA I stood on the training ground, as I surveyed the few soldier left as they gathered around me. Their faces were filled with defense and assurance. "Today, we focus on defense training," I announced, as my voice echoed across the ground. They began to practice, the sounds and movement of their action synchronized. Swords clashed and the sound of grunting filled the entire atmosphere. I summoned Ivar, my Beta, to my office few mins after I left the training ground. He arrived promptly with and exhausted, yet determined expression. I could see drips of sweat rolling down as he walked in "Ivar, our pack's safety relies on constant training hope you're aware of that? " I emphasized as I questioned to be sure we both were on same page. Ivar nodded as his eyes were locked on mine. "Yes Alpha, I'm aware of that." "Very good. " I responded."Our warriors must remain vigilant and adaptable." I added as I faced the window watching my warriors from a distance. "I'll ensure th
SYLVIA I stepped into my room, closing the door behind me.I breathed deeply, feeling the familiar energy of my room fill me.I was still surrounded by the gentle bustle of my maids in the room. They fluttered about, tidying up and preparing my evening attire.But I needed solitude."Thank you, girls," I exclaimed, my voice firm but gentle. "I'll take it from here."Elara, my senior maid, looked up from folding my gown. "Are you certain, ma'am?"I nodded. "Yes, I need some time alone." I responded as I sat on my bed."Let's give milady some privacy." Elara's facial expression sigh understanding, as she gestured to the other maids to exit the room.Elara and all the other maids, stormed out of the room, closing the door behind them.The silence enveloped me, with a welcome of relief and silence.I took a deep breath, feeling the tension ease from my shoulders.Alone at last, I can focus now on my incantation, without any interruptions. I whispered. I haven't had time to cast my spell on
SYLVIA I finished my incantation, the energy was still coursing through me. My mind shifted to my plans, as a wicked smile spread across my face.I began to pace my room, my thoughts consumed by visions of how I want the Alpha to suffer.I glanced around my room, my incantation tools, were still quite scattered on the floor, so I began to lay them organize my room, placing them in their respective shelvesI picked all the crystal vial, and leather-bound book, and placed them in their designated spaces. While placing the herbs, neatly bundled and labeled, as well as arranging the candles by their color and size.I must watch him witness his pack members fall, one by one. I will watch how despair shall etched on his face. As i Inflict a slow and painful death. I rumbled words in my head as I cleaned my room.The pack was as quiet as a grave, everyone must have slept of already. I inhaled deeply and satisfaction enveloped the atmosphere as I slipped into bed, feeling the softness of t
ALPHA I sat in silence, my office bathed in the warm glow of sunset. For a moment, I forgot about the rogue threat, the curse, and the weight of responsibility. As I was fully assured my spy's would return with good news. My chair creaked softly as I leaned back, eyes closed. The tension in my shoulders began to ease after having such a busy week already, compelling files and relevant documents. I took advantage of the quiet moment all to myself, feeling Abit free from the constant demands of leadership. The thoughts of my pack, struggling to find hope amidst the darkness prompted for a while, but for the moment I tried to push away those thoughts aside. I took a deeply inhale of breeze feeling the stillness. As I let out a lit smile off my cheeks. **** A knock at the door shattered the peace, making me jolt back to reality. I looked up to the ticking clock and realized I was drawn in my thoughts for quite some minutes. "Who is there? Enter," I called, with a dimm
SYLVIA I walked through the pack's garden, enjoying the beautiful flowers and green plants, spread all over the garden.The air smelled sweet with roses, As an old gardener carefully watered and tended to each plant.His hands moved gently, as if each flower was precious.I watched, with interest.Water dripped from the hose, making a soothing sound as droplets shone on the leaves like tiny diamonds.The gardener smiled." This garden has healing magic," he said.I nodded. " Well, to me every petal and stem is special," I agreed.His eyes sparkled." I'm glad you see the beauty too," he said.Sunlight filtered through the garden as Life bursted forth in every color. I stared as joy and happiness filled my belly.I felt peaceful. "This is where I come to clear my head," I said inhaling the chill breeze that blew.The gardener nodded. " Nature calms the soul," he said. As I responded with a nod.A butterfly landed on a nearby flower as Its delicates wings fluttered, dipping some nectar. L
SYLVIA I stood at my window, gazing into the dawn." Today shall be great." The sky transformed, and the birds sang their morning song flipping through the sky. As an admirer of nature's beauty, I never seized to miss the rise of the sun nor it's set, yet in my pleasure my heart remained cold.The pack's silence enveloped the entire atmosphere. No laughter, no chatter everywhere felt empty.Only the weight of Aria's fragile existence and my control.The Alpha's desperation still lingered.His hope, was now tied to my mercy." Dear Bryan, how soon would you realize my trap? " I pondered in pleasure and mockery, as I smiled, letting a subtle curve off my lips.This is power, the power I longed for all my years of suffering. I rumbled words in my belly as I stared through my window.The sun rose higher, casting golden light.The forest awakened, birds singing sweet melodies more louder than I already heard, but the pack's stillness remained as it were. A held breath, awaiting Aria's fate.
SYLVIA I remain weak right on my bed as I felt a chill run down my spine as the argument with Simon lingered in my mind. The tension and frustration boiled over, and I broke down in tears. "Why? Why does everything gets tough for me?" I cried out, with my voice shaking and cracky.Was I wrong on my plans and choice? Was I standing in the way of what needed to be done? My thoughts clashed against me as I laid and looked to my roof.Memories flooded my mind, taking me back to the night Simon took me to the hills where life became restored. The very day the Alpha rejected, every memories hung in my belly, as I re called everything and how Simon's comfort had been a balm to my wounded heart.But I couldn't have him to myself, could I? Not when Tasha's face haunted me ever since my existence. I couldn't cause more pain to her than she has already faced even though I never cared, but not this time.Why haven't Simon took her as his mate yet? Does he really thinks I'm his? My thoughts
SYLVIA "Lina, you shouldn't wander off alone in the dark. It's not safe." I gently scolded Lina, trying to avoid making he cry, as we walked back to our home, the moonlight casted it's shadows on our path.Lina looked up at me with her cristal bulging innocent eyes."But mum..... I wasn't alone. I was seated right with the Alpha." Lina responded back with her tiny little voice.With the Alpha? Not again. How more can I stop Lina from publicly roaming around the Alpha? My thoughts broke but I had to remain calm and chillI smiled, even though at heart I felt a spark. "Still, you should be more careful roaming around in the pack, it's not safe enough."I concluded as we settled into our cozy room, as the burning fire waved warmly.As we sat together, I remembered the questions I had for Lina. Why did I keep forgetting? Well there was always a distraction that came up, but not this time. My thoughts concluded as I drew her closer to me as we settled in the room."Lina, can I ask you
NARRATORAs the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the pack's territory, Simon's thoughts remained consumed by his desire for Sylvia. He couldn't care less about Tasha's fate, only seeing her as an obstacle between him and his true desire.Meanwhile, Sylvia retreated to the quietness of her room, her hands moving in circles as she prepared the herbs to cure Tasha. Her compassion and kindness drove her to help Tasha recover her health, despite Simon's indifference of requesting before death.With the cure ready, Sylvia made her way to the sickroom. She pushed open the door, and found Tasha asleep. Gently, Sylvia shook Tasha's shoulder, awaking her from slumber."Tasha, I've brought the cure," Sylvia said softly. "I'm sure it will work for now and more." Sylvia assured.Tasha's eyes fluttered open, as confusion gave way to hope."This will cure me?" Tasha asked, her voice weak, yet quite hopeful."Yes, it will. Drink this, and you'll begin to feel better so
ALPHA ~moonlight~It was time for the meeting after waiting daily for a full moon, it finally came out.I got myself ready and exited and headed for the meeting. I stood at the center of the gathering, surrounded by the esteemed elders of our pack. The full moon casted a look blue glow over our meeting."Tonight, we discuss the progress of our pack," I began. "There have been so much disaster as we all know and have seen." The elders nodded."Alpha, our numbers have increased within the short three years of peace we experienced. New families have joined." An elder exclaimed just as others nodded yet grieve etched on their faces.I smiled. "But then the new curse out break is taking away higher numbers of people that we recovered after losing so much in the battle field." An other elder exclaimed, just before I could emphasizes on same issue.But my gaze fell upon an empty chair. "Elder James, where is he?" I asked as the room fell silent for some seconds."Haven't you heard?" Eld
SYLVIA "Sylvia, please be my Luna," what?? I could believe my ears With an accompanied kiss, our lips departed. The Alpha eyes locked unto mine, as his deep voice whispered those into my ears as he took hold of me..His strong hands were wrapped around me, as he drew me closer to him. I felt weak like a baby right in his hands... trying to believe his quest.My heart skipped a beat, and my pulse raced. I was out of words at the moment, I had no idea what to do. This would ruin my revenge of taking the glory and destroying the Viking pack."Emmm... I'm ... I" I stuttered, but before I could respond, a tiny ball of energy launched on me, as I freaked out realizing it was a dream."Mommy, wake up!" Lina exclaimed, as she bounced on my mattress.I cleared my eyes realizing I was right on my bed, I was enveloped in the warmth of my blanket.His Luna? Why did my dream feel so much real and true, his words and touch? I thought to myself trying to shake off the weight of sleep in my ey
ALPHA The ticking sound of the clock echoed in the silence of my office.I sat in my office, surrounded by maps and papers filled with details of our pack's struggles against the curse. My beta, Ivar, walked in, with his expression serious."Ivar, what's the current death number?" I asked with tension echoed in my voice.Ivar's face saddened yet firm."Twenty-seven and counting, Alpha. But there's hope, cause Sylvia's cure has shown promise and indeed numbers of cured members are quite increasing."I nodded to his response. "Slight progress, then?""Yes, Alpha. The pack members are responding well to her treatment," Ivar concluded with so much assurance.I gestured to a chair." Take a Sit, Ivar. I want your honest opinion." I exclaimed as Ivar took a seat opposite mine."What do you think of Sylvia?" I asked.Ivar's expression turned thoughtful."She's... remarkable I must commend, Alpha. Her dedication towards finding a cure is amazing ever since she was welcomed to this pack." Iva
SIMONI stormed into my room, as I slammed the door behind me with a resounding bang that shook the walls. Anger coursed through my veins like liquid fire, burning my skin and fueling my rage."How could she do this to me?" I rumbled words in my belly, as I paced back and forth across the room.After everything, I can't watch it end this way. Sylvia wouldn't let Tasha die and the Alpha will definitely keep using Tasha as a way to get his way with Sylvia.Something must be done. But what could that be??Ahahah! A sharp thought broke my worry.I grabbed my phone immediately and dialed a number, as my fingers trembled with anger, yet a bit of hope weighed in me."Sir, Simon what's the issue on ground?" a deep and trembling voice answered."I need a favour." I responded. "What favour will that be if I may ask?" The rouge on the other end questioned. "Take out the Alpha," I exclaimed without hesitation, with my voice low and menacing.For the moment I said it, silence took hold for a mi
SYLVIA I stood frozen in the doorway, as my eyes were locked onto the Alpha's piercing gaze. The tension was noticable, as the air thickened like a fog.But just as I searched round with my eyes, the Alpha's deep voice broke the silence, "Simon, I guess we're both done for now, so excuse us."Simon's gaze lingered on me, without voicing any words I could read suspicion and jealousy etched on his face like a scar. He stormed out, as he slammed the door with a resounding bang. Why I'm I in the midst of my emotions? Why do I feel lost in identifying what my feelings want?I remained at the doorway as the Alpha's eyes never left mine, his expression was with a mixture of curiosity and concern. "Please sylvia come take a seat." He welcomed as I snapped back fully into reality as I walked towards the table side."I wonder how long you've been out there... So what brings you today," he said.I remained silent for the moment, as my lips sealed. What could I say? My thoughts clashed. The
ALPHA I slowly opened my eyes, as I blinked away the weigh of sleep. The creeping sounds of the birds outside my window and the sun-casted shadows on my walls greeted me flashing some life for the day. I stretched, as I felt the softness of my bed.I felt like ages since I woke to life.Memories from only I wish I could remember when flashed in my mind. A flash of Sylvia's face, her eyes and her touch, played through my mind as I remained on my bed. Who was this woman? Why do I feel a spark of connection whenever she was near? She should be my mate.. but would she accept that? I flipped off the covers wrapped around me, as swung my legs over the side of the bed. My feet dangled, as I felt some cool air blew through.Just then, a knock at the door broke the silence."Enter," I called out wondering who it might be.Ivar, my trusted beta, stepped inside."Alpha, you're awake," Ivar said, "this is indeed a miracle." He exclaimed with a hint of relief in his voice and wide smile spr
