ALPHA The pack seemed calm, for some days now, I couldn't wait for Ivar to recover strength again,to stand by me as always. I inhaled the morning breeze that flopped in and out of my office through the window, easing weight and burden existing on me. Please be nice today, moon goddess. I cleared up my desk as I spread over the maps on my desk and I began strategizing our next move against the rogue threat, a familiar knock broke my focus. The knock sounded so loud I knew it could only be Simon who knocks trice and quite hard. What brings him hear today anyway? I pondered unexpectedly. "Enter!" I called, looking up with a warm smile. The door swung open, and Simon stepped inside, his confident ate up the distance. He was dressed in his favorite colour. "Simon! You are welcomed" I exclaimed with genuine warmness in my voice. We weren't best of cousins but he was always my right man sometimes. I rose up and rounded the desk, to extend an unusual greeting. I stood
ALPHA I stormed through my room, as fear unleashed,I could feel the vibration of rage, disbelief and failure roaming through my veins. I blew apart the accessories arranged in my room I scattered anything that was before me, unleashing my undescribable pain. Everywhere was shattered and splintered, as i reflected the chaos within.I paced through as the rogues faces haunted me and their laughter echoed my mind with so much recaps.Pain burned down my soul, like a hot iron leaving my soul with an unforgettable scars.How could they? Who are they? Where are the from? Question bantered my mind, leaving reality and drowning in thoughts with no answer.They shattered my pack and my family with no mercy. I watched the infant, young and old slayed by the sharped sword with no mercy. What wrong have I done?"Why..... why.....?" A loud yell tore from my throat, years rolling down my cheek as I unleashed my agony on the top of my voice. My voice echoed, through the walls of my comfort. Why me
SYLVIA As I stood at an edge of the pack, staring, the Alpha's determination drew my gaze. Why has he changed? This isn't the Bryan I knew back then.I watched as he planned with potential allies, for his pack safety, I sighted desperation from a distance etched on his face.As a mix sense of satisfaction coursed through me, knowing the next attack I had planned, was near and shall cause more pain than any had ever witnessed. Yet, the gravity of the situation weighed heavily on my conscience. He caused me pain and this is in return of what he caused, why do I pity his suffering?I watched Simon from a distance with the warriors in the field as he guided and trained them for the next plan we were about unleashing. Such a smart game, no one can every trace our guilt and involvement. Blood shall be spilled and the moon goddess Shall watch from a distance and I Sylvia Sky shall triumph over the Alpha and his allies. ***The sun shined brighter upon the surface, casting long shado
ALPHA ~ONE MONTH AFTER~I surveyed my pack as the sun settled, eliminating a warm glow over our entire territory, I surveyed our lands and gardens seeing the progress and growth. Members rounded for the day before it was time for our curfew.A month of silence and peace and no rogue attack, the stillness was almost unsettling. Would they ever return? I made my way to Ivar's quarters, as my steps paced silently as I approached.I stood in his quarters, The Beta's door was open, and I entered without knocking, he was seated in his comfort."Ivar, you don't have to fight with us, just incase the rouges intend on returning back.," I said, as my voice betrayed with empathy. " You could take time to keep regaining your strength as well as spending more time with your daughter."But Ivar's face was firm, I could see determination burning in his eyes."I'm ready, Alpha, I've had enough time to get myself together." he insisted. "I won't let our pack down. We need every able body and I o
ALPHAI laid on my bed, weak and helpless from the battle, my body ached really bad from the various wounds on me. As the Alpha of Viking pack, I had to ensure my pack's safety, but the rogues unexpected and unbelievable strength had left me even more worried with no answer nor who to run to."Guard," I called quite aloud with my voice weak."Yes, Alpha?" A guard by the door post walked into my room, responding to my call."Summon Sylvia. Let her know the Alpha needs her healing, summon the other healers to take over from where she had stopped."I ordered as the guard bowed and departed, leaving me to my thoughts. Sylvia was the only fast healer now who existed in my pack. I need her more than anyone else does.The rise of the sun shine through the windows and just then, Sylvia walked in to my room with a mini old bag, dressed in a flowing white gown, her hair laid pretty down her back shining so nice, her fragrance enveloped the entire room."Alpha, you called for me." she said softl
SYLVIA My husband? Well his right before me, fool. My sarcasm played in my belly.As I finished tending to the Alpha's wounds, his intense gaze settled on me, filling me with a bit of confusion. Why does he stares at me so deep?I shared a glance at him, meeting his eyes, and my heart skipped a beat at the curiosity and admiration I saw laying in his eyes.The Alpha's expression softened, his eyes blinked at the corners, as I felt my cheeks ache Abit in suspense and confusion."Thank you, Sylvia, you've really been kind and I owe you much" He said with a his low and husky voice, which sent shivers down my spine." I need to get going, Lina must be awake by now. " I responded always using my innocent daughter as my escape. I hesitated, acting dumb to the question he asked few seconds away I quickly gathered my herbs, as desperation filled my heart, to escape the Alpha's piercing gaze and further questions."Okay then," he responded. As I stood to my feet. "Sylvia, I mean it, thank
SYLVIA I turned around gently, only to find Marcus, my spy guard, panting heavily beside me."Marcus, what's wrong?" I asked, as concern etched on my face. He looked tensed and I wondered why?He looked around nervously before whispering, "Follow me." He responded We walked into a hidden corner, as shadows disguised us from view of others. "What's the issues? You look worried." I exclaimed "Your stepmom's ill," Marcus revealed, his voice shaking. Well not more like I cared about her illness, I wondered why he brought such new in hast."I mean she's dying," he added, his eyes locked onto mine."And my stepsister?" Suddenly I felt a spark of worry popped within me as i asked."She weeps in the woods daily." Marcus's eyes dropped facing the floor as he replied,Sympathy washed over me, as I murmured, "Poor girl. Thank you Marcus for bringing such News."Marcus nodded.I took a deep breath, to process the news which has just been brought unexpectedly. "Keep watching. Ensure you rep
SIMONAs I leaned even more closer to Sylvia, I looked deeply into her eyes as I noticed how lost she was in thoughts, her eyes etched with worry.I gently touched her arm, sending shivers down her spine. I could see goosebumps rising to every touch.She stared into my eyes, her expression revealed uncertainty. Her beauty glowed everyday, I could kill for her sake. My thoughts mixed."Why didn't you tell me?" I repeated myself as though she didn't hear the first time, with my voice low and calm, trying not to create some tension.Her brows clutched with a light frown etched on her face. Confused right? Ohh yes i thought so."Tell you what, exactly Simon?" she replied as I searched her eyes, I could see Concern and Curiosity, yet confusion."About your stepmom, Sylvia" I responded, watching Sylvia eyes widened in deep shock and surprise.Ohh Yes! I expected that exact shock. I've told her countlessly I've got my eyes on her. "How did you know? Did Marcus inform you?" she demanded.I
SYLVIA I sat in my room, braiding my daughter Lina's hair. We were laughing and chatting about our favorite memories together. Lina was giggling uncontrollably as I teased her about her silly antics.Just as I was finishing up the braids, the curtains to my room opened and the Alpha walked in. He didn't knock, as if he knew I was expecting him. But I wasn't."Hey, Sylvia, you're doing a great job with Lina's hair," the Alpha said, his eyes scanning the room.Lina looked up at him with a big smile on her face. "Alpha!" she exclaimed, hurrying over to give him a warm hug.The Alpha smiled and hugged her back, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You look beautiful, Lina," he said, his voice sincere.I watched as Lina beamed with pride, her eyes sparkling with happiness. I smiled, feeling a warmth in my heart.As Lina returned to sit beside me, I finished up her braids and tied them off with a small ribbon. "Okay, sweetie, you're all done," I said, giving her a gentle smile.Lina hopped
NARRATORThe Alpha stood before the old woman's hut, his heart filled with hope. He had heard that she possessed the power to cure his pack of the curse that had plagued them for so long. The curse had brought them shame and suffering, and the Alpha was determined to find a way to lift it.As he entered the hut, he was struck by its beauty. The interior was warm and inviting, filled with the scent of herbs and spices. The old woman greeted him, her staff supporting her grip. She was frail and elderly, but her eyes sparkled with a deep wisdom."Welcome, Alpha," she said. "I know why you've come.""You do?" the Alpha asked, his curiosity piqued."Yes," she replied. "You seek a cure for your pack. But I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."The Alpha's face fell. "What do you mean?" he asked."The cure lies right in your hands, Alpha," she said. "All you need to do is open your eyes beyond the ordinary."The Alpha looked at her in confusion. "I don't understand," he said.The old woman smi
SIMONWhy can't I just breathe? Why does everything keeps suffocating me? My thoughts reeled just as I paced my steps.I walked into my office, as the door shut behind me.The familiar scent of leather and wood enveloped me, with a comforting respite from the turmoil brewing within."Simon, when will you propose to me?" My mind replayed Tasha's words, as her questions echoed like a speaker. Just as I settled in my heart beat increased.Why now? Why must she ask this now, when my thoughts were consumed by Sylvia and the pack's future? It's all Sylvia fault for healing her. Can't she see how much more I've sacrificed for her all in the name of love? Bryan doesn't care, just a selfish being. I'm sure of that.My feet's tickled so I paced before the window, as my gaze drifted towards the forest beyond.Sylvia. Her name whispered through my thoughts like a seductive breeze.What did she want from me?And what did I want from her?The questions broke in, just as a cloud of confusion cloud
TASHAI sat in my room, lost in thought, after Elara delivered Sylvia's rejection. Why didn't Sylvia want to see me? What had I done?I just wanted to be grateful for not letting me die even when I knew she could have done it.My mind wandered, as I tried to recall what had brought Sylvia back to our pack. But the answer left me hanging.Just as I laid back on my bed, the door burst open, and Simon paced in in hast. For a moment, I forgot all our troubles and rushed to him, for a big hug with all arms open. "Simon! I'm strong again, I thought I would have lost you." Exclaimed with joy overflowing in my voice.But instead of a warm welcome, he pushed me away."Tasha, not now," he blurted, do nonchalantly like my love never mattered to him.My smile disappeared with a disappointed heart, replaced by sadness."Why do you always act like something's wrong with you?" I asked, as frustration creeped in. "Simon you can't keep hurting me, because someone hurt you." "Move out of my way, Tash
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
