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 slowly opened my eyes, gently as the sunlight pierced through my brain. My head banged so hard and my mouth felt dry. What happened last night?I tried to remember, but my memories were pretty blocked. I recalled coming into the Alpha's room to drop off some files... and then nothing more could be recalled aside the little discussion we shared.I turned over towards the Alpha, who laid beside me, fast asleep. His chest rose and fell with each peaceful breath as he snored deeply. My gaze drifted down beneath the blanket and I gasped." Shit..." I was naked I realized as the feel of panic bursted in. What the hell did we do last night?"Alpha?" I whispered.He didn't stir.I stared beneath the covers, as my face burned and shock etched all over me, sending shivers down my spine. The Alpha was naked too.Oh no... This can't be. My thoughts clashed.I silently picked up my dress, which was dropped on the floor as well my undies. I swiftly got dressed, as my hands moved with p
ALPHA As I laid in bed, staring at the ceiling as the events of last night replayed in my mind like a movie. Sylvia's face, her laughter, how her eyes gazed at me and sparkled... I couldn't shake off the feeling that something significant had shifted between us."Damn, did I really do that?" I thought to myself, rubbing my chest. I had always been cautious around Sylvia, careful not to overstep any boundaries. But last night, something had taken over me. Maybe it was the whiskey, or maybe it was the way she smiled at me, but I had let my guard down. "Everything seems Ike my imagination or was it real? Doubts clashed my mind.I recalled the way I had grabbed her waist, pulling her close to me as she stared like a baby. The way she hadn't pulled away, instead leaned unto me, with her body as her indescribable scent erupt the atmosphere, I couldn't get over the way we both kissed. Oh, that kiss, It had been like the entire world had come to a standstill and everything was stock. My
SYLVIA I sat on my bed, surrounded by the regular comforts of my room. Simon had knocked on the door a few minutes ago, and welcomed him in, wondering what was on his mind. He paced back and forth in front of me, his eyes scanning my face as if searched for something. Of course his looking for something but what would that be?"Where were you the other night?" he asked, his voice low and concerned."Just needed some quiet time, so I went into the woods for a bit of peace." I responded trying to appear nonchalant, I could feel my heart beat rising."Alone?"Simon stopped pacing his steps and sat down beside me as I nodded, picking at a loose thread on my blanket, avoiding eye contact."And was everything okay?" Simon's brow furrowed. "Was something bothering you?" He questioned again as concern etched all over his face.I forced a smile, hoping he knew nothing this time about my moves. "No, nothing's wrong. Just needed some space."Simon's eyes lingered on mine, as if searched for t
SIMON I slowly opened my eyes, dizziness clouded my mind. As my vision cleared, I saw Tasha sitting right before me, her eyes fixed directly on mine. She looked...upset. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. I felt much relieved, it's a new day to chase everything before me."Hey, Tasha." I said, my voice filled with morning roughness.Tasha's expression didn't change. "You're finally awake," she said, her tone flat. Why is she upset? Uhhh I so hate it when she acts up.I sat up straight, running a hand through my messy hair. "What's wrong again? Tasha" I asked, though I knew better than to ask.Tasha's eyes widened. "You really don't know, do you?" Her voice rose abit loud. I nodded saying no as though I was lost."You've been ignoring me, Simon. We barely talk anymore. You're always busy, always distracted. I feel like I'm just an afterthought to you." She yelled out as pain echoed in her voice.I sighed inwardly. Not this again. I don't have the energy for
ALPHA I stood firm to a pillar as the grounds of our pack shock and vibrated this was a very unusual feel. Just the Ivar my beta bursted into the hallway breathing heavily."Ivar, what's the urgency?" I asked, noticed the tension which etched all over him as he pace through and approached me."Alpha, it's...it's not over," Ivar panted, his chest and breathe heavy. "A large group of rogues are heading straight for us. I counted at least two large groups, maybe more."My thoughts kicked in, but my mind refused to believe it. We had just defeated in sending away the rogues which have been terrorizing our lands. It couldn't be happening again."What are you talking about, Ivar?" I questioned,"We settled this weeks ago. The rogue pack was no where to be found for three years."Ivar's eyes locked onto mine, his expression deepened. "I swear on my honor, Alpha. I saw them. They're flying our pack's colors, but they're not ours. They're...different. Hungry." Ivar exclaimed "The sounds of t
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
