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
ALPHAI leaned back on my chair, with my eyes locked on Simon. "Simon, our pack's safety is still at stake. We need a very unique plan to secure our borders." "I've been thinking, Alpha. We can utilize our most skilled trackers to create a border." Simon nodded, with his expression thoughtful as he exclaimed."Go on," I encouraged, filled with interest about his plan. "We can establish a network of underground tunnels, allowing our trackers to move undetected." He responded, dropping a very important and unique idea. "Brilliant, indeed" I exclaimed. "And what about inspection?" I questioned with concern etched over me."We can use our technician members to create a digital grid," Simon suggested. "Covering our entire territory." He added his words with confidence and intelligence."Bravo, very smart thought" I praised with an applaud. "Simon, you're a genius, you always have been"Simon smiled, his face filled with pride, he was always ambitious right from young, but wasn't qualifi
SYLVIA As I sat right before the Alpha, as we both engaged in a conversation, I could feel my heart pounding quite hard, I knew I had to break the news to him. "Alpha, the sacrifice, like I said requires something personal," I responded, as my voice echoed on a lower tone.His eyes narrowed and his expression betrayed. "What is it?" he responded. " I mean what does this blood sacrifice requires that is personal? " He questioned again.I took a deep breath for a minute and replied, "Your blood." I watched as his face paled and his eyes widened in shock. "My blood?" he echoed.I nodded, trying to appear confident. " Everything I do is for the pack's healing, it's necessary." I blurted. "It your choice to decide if you want to sacrifice for your pack."The Alpha jaw clenched together as his emotions etched. " Okay then, When do you need it?" he asked.I composed myself lean a bit forward to his desk. "Now." The Alpha's eyes flashed with caution. "Here?" he asked."No, but in my room o
SYLVIA THREE YEARS LATER. I had just returned from a very hectic day as I decided to chill out by the fire hut to warm up myself before getting into my room. As the moon shined casting it's light on the pack surface, I sat before the burning fire, which my instructed maid had lighted up. Suddenly Simon's voice interrupted the silence from behind. "Sylvia, three years of peace is enough." I furrowed as I faced him and my mind clashed against his words. "Peace is also part of the plan have you forgotten, Simon?" I responded, with my voice firm. "Peace born of fear, Sylvia, fear of your wrath, fear of your power." Simon's eyes flashed with force. Why is he bothered anyway? Doesn't he sees why the longing peace? and how the people are happy? "That's not true," I whispered with a sort of defensive in my tone. "It is true, Sylvia, you've given them too much comfort, it's high time you remind them of your strength." Simon stepped abit closer, with his voice low and and f
SYLVIA As I walked confidently towards the Alpha's room, with some files in my hand, "Alpha, can I come in, it's Sylvia?" I asked standing right before his door."Yes of course, enter," his deep voice replied, as I pushed in and opened the door.My eyes widened in shock as I gazed at the broad chest of the Alpha standing right before me, he was shirtless, wrapped only in a towel on his waist, his broad chest and arranged abs stool my breath for some seconds.For a moment, I forgot myself, lost in the contours of his body. I stood like a log of wood, with my eyes locked on him. I could feel shiver running down my spine."Hey, Sylvia," the Alpha said, his voice low and calm, just then It snapped me back to reality, as I realized I was stock in one position."Emm... Alpha," I stammered, "here's the files you asked for." I added as I handed him the files, trying to compose myself."Thank you Sylvia, you've done so well." He acknowledged collecting the files.With no hesitation I turned
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
