SIMONI walked into my room after watching how the Alpha stared at Sylvia while she exited the meeting chamber.I sat in my room, surrounded by darkness of my thoughts. The Alpha's words echoed in my mind loud and clear. "Sylvia's always come through for me." Why does he have so much interest in her? What was it about her that captivated him? Or does he remembers her or feels bonded?I searched my heart as I tried to identify my motion grew inside of me, it felt like hatred and anger. Or could it be jealousy? Of course, it is. I've never felt this way before, but I couldn't deny it. Especially as the Alpha sings about Sylvia.Why did the Alpha have to notice her? Why did he have to praise her in front of me? Or does Sylvia cast a spell on him?I squeezed my fists, as frustration broke all over me."My love," I heard Tasha's voice, but didn't respond.Tasha walked into the room with her footsteps quite light and gentle. "Simon? Everything okay?"I stood up immediately still silent
SYLVIA What really does Simon have to say this time around? I wondered as I watched Simon disappear into the distance, as his broad shoulders faded from my view. My thoughts clashed on our brief discuss, I could sense a hidden tension beneath his casual response and act.Well, I'll figure out soon. I thought as I shook off the feeling and I remained focused on my task. I needed specific leaves for my next incantation, and the woods were the perfect place to find them. They were only known by I and the ancient ones.As I wandered deeper into the forest, the rustling of leaves and chirping sounds of birds enveloped me. I inhaled in the earthy scent or pure nature, as the sun casted shadows through the trees above my head, I felt energy of the natural world as paced through.Suddenly, just as I had began picking few leafs, some footsteps approached. I recognized the light pace of steps which identified it was Tasha even without even looking backwards. Why do I feel tracked by everyo
SYLVIA I woke to and yet, the pack seemed calm, which means my curse haven't began to manifest it self yet. I could imagine how disastrous this would be."Good morning, ma'am," Elara exclaimed as I smiled, stretching beneath my warm blankets."Thank you, girls. You're as prompt as ever." I responded, as My maid, Elara, set the tray of food on my bedside table."Today's breakfast includes scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, and warm pastries, ma'am."I inhaled the arising aromas, my stomach rumbled in anticipation."Delicious. You've outdone yourselves, today." I acknowledged her.As I sat up, as I Elara helped me into a comfortable sitting position, dropping the pillows behind me."Shall I pour your tea, ma'am?" Elara asked.I nodded, watching as she expertly poured the steaming liquid into the mug. Today's treatment felt highly different from the usual way. But who cares?"Enjoy your breakfast, ma'am. We've prepared everything just as instructed." My maid exclaimed. Did I just hear instru
SIMONI sat across from Sylvia, the silence between us thick and heavy. I wanted to break it, but my words tangled in my throat."Syl...via..." I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper.Sylvia's eyes widened in surprise, her brows furrowing. Why can't I confront my feelings, this should be the easiest thing to do not to be scared of how she might feel."Simon, what's wrong?" she asked, with so much concern etched on her face.I tried again, but my words broke. Ughhhhh not again.Sylvia stood, directing towards me with elegance."Simon?" she whispered, with her voice soft and calmly heart chilling.She settled onto my lap, as her warmth enveloped me.I felt my tension ease slowly, but my emotions remained raw."Tell me," she pressed on, her hands racing through my face.I closed my eyes, as I took a deep breath."It's just...the alpha..." I began.Sylvia's grip tightened."What about him?"I opened my eyes, as I met hers."The way he looks at you...praises you...it's like..." I strugg
NARRATORSylvia stepped out of Simon's office, her mind still clashing from their previous conversation about the upcoming curse. Why does it delays this time to unleash itself? She questioned herself as she prepared to leave"Thank you, Simon," she said, as she turned to him with a determined look."Stay safe, Sylvia," Simon replied, his eyes serious, but more appreciative for her presence.As she walked out into the quiet hallway, Sylvia felt a shiver run down her spine.Something felt off.The pack's usual bustle was replaced by an unusual silence. What's going? Where are all the pack members and why the sudden silence.She walked around the corner, lost in thought.Suddenly, her foot got hit on something soft.Sylvia looked down to see a guard lying on the floor.No injuries, just...still.Her heart sank." Ughhhh.... What the fuck is this? The curse," she gulped and blurted out locking her mouth. " His dead, really dead" sylvia added her words as she kicked the still guard. Pl
NARRATOR."Thank you, once more for offering to help in such a great situation." The Alpha acknowledged Sylvia."It's my pleasure to serve." She responded with a smirk spread across her jaw. An unpredictable one.As Sylvia and the Alpha walked together and returned to the pack, there was a sense of urgency that filled the air as the moon shined down the pack."Sylvia has promised to find a solution to cure the curse." the Alpha announced to the members as his voice echoed aloud.The all pack members gathered around, as curiosity and concern etched on their faces. While some moaned for the dead already."A quarantine will be enforced from henceforth." the Alpha declared aloud. "Until the curse is contained and a cure is found."Murmurs began to spread through the crowd."But Alpha, how will we survive?" a pack member grumbled as others agreed to the question.The Alpha's expression remained resolute. "We will work together. We will protect each other." The alpha tried to assure. "Fa
SYLVIA I gently tucked Lina into bed, with her soft breath soothing sound as she slept. As I gazed at her peaceful face, my mind wandered.What had driven Lina to run to the Alpha earlier? Was it mere fear or something deeper? My thoughts clashed against me. I really don't want more stress added to the one I already have.I need to talk to her, inorder to understand her feelings. I hope she doesn't have a bond towards him , cause I'll be in more problem especially with Simon.But for now, I pushed those thoughts aside. "Lina, sweetie, sleep tight," I whispered, as I gave a kiss on her forehead. I was about laying myself as well into my body cover.Just then, a knock banged on the door, as it broke the silence.I hesitated, wondering who it could be. Would it be the curse spread or what? It was already mid noon.I opened the door just to find the Alpha standing before me, his eyes gentle."Sylvia, may I come in?" he asked.I stepped aside, letting him in. "Shh.... Lina's sleeping," I
SIMON The sun reflected on my face as I woke up to an unsettling silence enveloped in my room. My room was covered with in darkness, except for the faint sunlight which peeked through the window. As I laid back on my bed just there, and thoughts raced like a runaway horse.Why do I always feel this growing unease? It was as if my instincts were screaming warnings, but I couldn't quite understand the message. Everything around me just began feeling so much off.The thoughts of sylvia and the Alpha clashed my mind as their bond seemed to be strengthening instead of weakening. It all felt like a trap which was tightening around my neck. What would happen if the Alpha realizes that she was the sylvia he maltreated and made weak many years ago?I couldn't shake the image of how Lina ran into the Alpha's arms like father and daughter. The way he held her and comforted her...it was like a punch to my gut. Lina never came close to me since we moved to this pack. She forgot how everyday
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
