The Peony pack is the most powerful pack to ever exist among all the other wolf packs. It is known for its extremely organized system with hierarchies that uphold the smooth running of the prestigious pack. With twelve tribes guiding the pack, each tribe represents a pillar that supports the affairs of the pack, with the tenth tribe as the biggest tribe of all.
The tribes have walked hand in hand for years with understanding until the need to take over a certain power arose, which led to a big fight between the tribes and also caused the wipe out of the entire tenth tribe.
***
Just like every other full moon, the eerie feeling clouded everywhere as the wolves were getting ready for the shifting party. For generations, they had been ordered to shift together and enjoy the ambience that the full moon creates for them to draw the energy they can before it rolls over to another day.
The tribes’ elders were busy holding their usual meetings in the pyramid room while other wolves were getting ready for another big night. Hums of happiness were heard from all the corners of the pack from the expectant wolves who couldn’t wait to display strength and beauty in few hours.
“I think we should induct the wolves that will be of age into the adulthood circle soon. They are now many in number and should not be left hanging”, the leader of the tenth tribe proposed, and everyone supported his suggestion. “Make every preparation for the induction”. Alpha Ricky commanded the first tribe, which was in charge of the induction.
“I will make sure to set everything in place, My Alpha” the leader bowed without any further countering.
“The other tribes should get ready to play their parts too. Our pack has always set a good example over the centuries. We can’t afford to lose our faces” grunted the Alpha, and they all agreed to his words.
The meeting was wrapped up on a good note and the elders dispersed to get ready for the great night, but little did they know that the night would never come. One of the wolves that was sent to bring in food from the warehouse ran to inform them that a strange entity had invaded the pack and bitten one of them.
“What do you mean by a strange entity? What are you talking about? Explain yourself this instant!” the elder of the fifth tribe countered with a scrunched nose, but before the wolf could reply to him, the said bitten wolf showed up with huge vein marks all over his body.
Piercing screams filled the pack as everyone ran for their lives. The wolf had bitten the other wolves who tried to help him and before anyone could blink, the pack was filled with strange poppy vein sickness which drained the wolves of their powers and took over.
“Can someone explain what is going on?” questioned Alpha as he staggered back.
The situation at hand was terrifying and ominous. No one understood what the strange and frightening situation happening was not to talk of proffering solutions to it.
The elders gasped in shock as one of the wolves tried shifting for strength. With a loud and long grunt, his claws popped out and the visible veins began to stretch further. His furs were sprouting out at a very fast rate, his bones were cracking loudly with his eyes bulging more than usual. He finally shifted and was torn into pieces before he could do anything after letting out a powerful but painful howl.
“What is this disturbing situation?” the elder of the fifth tribe blurt out as the blood splashed on everyone around the lifeless wolf.
“We are doomed!” exclaimed the leader of the tenth tribe as everyone gasped in horror.
Welcome everyone, this book is very different from every other werewolves books you might have read because there will many factors included according to the fantasy of the book. I hope we all enjoy the book without dwelling on the supernatural happenings but enjoy the relationship between the characters instead. Happy Reading.
The thick rain enveloped all the surface of the wind screen so much that the driver was hardly seeing what was in front of him, the wipers were sweeping the waters pouring endlessly as if their lives depended on it as the car moved through the dark street.“When did you say we would get there?” a thick voice asked from the car and the silence that was existing in the car shattered to shards. The driver replied “The navigation app showed that we will be there in the next five minutes” with immediate effect and he grunted.He was getting impatient.The driver was sticking his eyes widely on the road while holding onto the driving wheel as if it was the key to his life. He wanted to get to his destination safe and sound amidst the pouring rain.Alfred growled “You should just relax, you are always too anxious and worked up. You don’t have anything to be scared of, it’s not like this is your first time here, so breathe in and out” and Draco rolled his eyes and fired “Did I not tell you thi
DRACO’S POVHas it been over a year and half I last saw Helena? She had come to me with a smiling face that early morning with a clear sky and the atmosphere of spring at the Lead Lake situated in the pack. She was jumping and hopping along the metal rails of the bridge and I couldn’t get enough of her radiating beauty as I stared at her from afar where I was waiting for her.She called out to me “Draco” with a wave and I smiled back before proceeding to walk towards her direction. Running to my side with a woven bamboo basket in her hand, she was giggling and finally linked her arms around mine when we met halfway on the bridge. She was my mate and we had been dating for over two years. Everyone knew about us but we were never ashamed or tried to hide that fact.She would come over to my place and I would walk her back to her place whenever she’s leaving, making us the inseparable love birds. “Did you wait for long?” she asked as we turned to walk down the bridge and I replied with “N
HELENA’S POVYes, I and Draco are sworn enemies. No one can dare mediate between us. We might have loved each other crazily in the past, but now we hate each other more than we had once loved ourselves.I became a trash to him overnight. He saw me as nothing but a filthy rag he could dispose of. The warm hands that once held me turned cold and icy, it was as if I was bare naked with nothing to cover me.I worked so hard to achieve this position. Well, people might tag it as an overnight success, but only I knew what it took me to be in this seat, maybe also Secretary Han and my boy too, Jerry.There are so many secrets hidden that I must dig out. I will not let my parents bear this shame no matter what. They were not even properly buried because they were considered traitors who had killed the royal family. They were thrown on the mountain, where the snow fell the hardest.I still cannot sleep well in the night because I can see that moment where I saw their frozen corpses in my dreams
Alpha Draco led the way into the palace where all the servants and every other entities living in the palace trooped in to welcome them. Helena kept staring at everything in the palace with every step she took, the interior and everything she was familiar with had changed. As expected of Draco, he is a fan of cool and vintage interior designs so everything had been changed to suit his taste but that was not her cup of tea right now. She was not in the palace to admire the change in interior decorations and how they were arranged to display the pride of the egocentric Alpha. “Welcome My Alpha” Chief maid Kinn greeted with a deep bow and the servants followed suit. The look on his face was nowhere friendly and they could sense that he was in a trashy mood so no one moved or made a sound that could make his ticking bomb trip off. Even though they were all scared to ask him directly why I was there, Chief Kinn still summoned up the courage to ask because it was her job to make sure ever
The elders were having a meeting over the cure Alpha Draco went to get from the person who was said to have the cure. They were waiting for his arrival while also discussing the way out if by chance, he fails to bring the cure with him.“This strange illness is alarming”, the Elder of the seventh tribe sighed with his head hung low.“What do you mean by strange illness? This has happened before and we were able to get rid of it. If the late Alpha hadn’t banished the scroll containing the method that was used for the cure, we wouldn’t be in this state right now. Our people are dying every passing hour and the isolation center we are putting them in to prevent them from infecting others is getting filled up every day. You still think the late Alpha did well by sealing away the scroll?” growled Elder Conri of the fifth tribe as he smacked his hand hard on the meeting room’s table.Everyone jerked in shock at the suddenness and they all agreed with his claim, the late Alpha was the cause o
HELENA’S POV It was refreshing to see Elder Conri get disorganized at the news of his son. I had did all my research throughout the time I was absent from the pack and knew that the youngest son was his weakness. I didn’t even need to do much, all I pulled was a string to pull him out of his out to the place where he would likely get bitten by luring him with the truth about his dead mother who got killed by his father. He jumped out of the house at the letter and got himself bitten. That worked for me as my leverage to get Elder Conri and other tribes’ elders to give me the throne. They are very strong when it comes to their solid decisions and I have to hold one of the strongest elders as a hostage for them to have split opinions. One thing was sure, even if the youngest son gets recovered, he will harbor hatred towards his father for killing his mother, so it was like killing two birds with a stone. If I will be getting anything done in the pack, I have to cause disunity among th
DRACO’S POVEverything that was happening between Helena and the elders was not my business because they were the ones that came in to protest without permission or any discussion. Their childish protest was what soiled my plans of taming and making her submissive while leaving her no choice but to help out her pack with whatever antidote that she brought along.Thanks to their rashness, they had given her the upper hand and even signed the same request they had come to protest over with their own hands. I couldn’t care less about whatever conclusion they arrive at, but all I know is that Helena would never be able to leave the pack anymore, even though she had come in with her own legs.I will make sure she begs for death but never find it. She will get to experience what it means to be ridiculed, because that is exactly what I will make her pass through even though she attains the queen’s position. There will never be any queen as useless as her in the history of our pack when I am d
HELENA’S POV Thanks to the intense gossip of the maids, I was able to hear that Draco instructed Chief Kinn not to make any preparations for meals, drinks or party fun for her wedding and coronation. Even with the absurdity of the command, I was not fazed because I knew all he was planning to do and it was something I had prepared for beforehand. “Draco! You are playing exactly as I had imagined it and this is getting interesting. I wonder what your reaction will be on the said day” I mumbled to myself as I walked past the maids after extracting all the information I needed. Later that evening, Chief Kinn came around to take my measurements of my dress and also informed me of the day it would be taking place. A snort escaped my mouth as I remembered the faces of the elders who were obviously pained when I demanded that the coronation be held before the separation ritual took place. “I can’t get the shocked faces of the old hags off my mind, they were so stunned back then when they
The fight at the border had been quite fierce due to several intruders trying to sneak into the pack because of the pack flourishing. “We just rounded up some spies we caught trying to enter the pack. They are now in the back quarters”. One of the soldiers rushed to update Prince Klaux who was just coming back from another mission. With a tired sigh, he gulped down a bottle of water and signaled to his assistant. “Let’s go and check them out. This is really getting out of hand” he said, and left with the soldier. The spies were interrogated and they confessed that they were on a mission to find out the manufacturing process of the cures that were being developed at the pack’s research lab. “Which pack sent you?” he questioned “The bluemoon pack”, one of the spies responded. “I hear of new packs every day” he groaned as his hands found their way to his waist. He turned to his assistant and scratched his head for a while, “Feed them, give them a place to sleep and send them on the
Prince Klaux had been frequently visiting Han ever since she had been on the sick bed, even though he didn’t exactly know the reason why. “You always find yourself here. You both didn’t have anything going on while she was still fine though”, Vincent once said to him, and he smiled a bit. “I know right, we never had anything going on. I guess I just missed seeing her standing by cutie’s side. No one to bicker and argue with, it feels weird” he responded, and Vincent chuckled. “You really need to think about it further. Something might be kicking in”, Vincent remarked, and he denied it vehemently. “What do you mean kicking in? You are just blabbering nonsense” he muttered, but Vincent only patted his shoulder before leaving him. That very day, he came by after leaving the proposal party. He came to check up on her since it had been a while due to the fact that he was away from the palace. “You seem to be doing well over there, seeing you don’t want to come back here anymore. I gue
The priestess treated Jerry and told her that she would have to hope that the moon goddess would have mercy and grant him another spirit wolf in the nearest future because nothing could be done anymore, since the spirit wolf was killed after being torn away from him. For days, Helena couldn’t digest the news. She couldn’t eat, move or do anything. Nothing made her happy no matter what anyone did. She couldn’t rid herself of the guilt that her son had to face such a terrible fate because she was not there to protect her son, thanks to her obsession with the cure. She lost interest in everything and was ready to give it up. Alpha Draco gave orders for Elder Damon to be executed publicly and his family were turned into slaves, Amy’s entire tribe was banned and a letter was sent to every pack not to accommodate them with the notification of their crimes. Ava was hanged as an accomplice to the crime and her family were sent out of the pack. Both Helena and Vincent got healed from the vir
HELENA’S POV I played all day with Jerry who was now very big. He was growing so well that I felt bad not involved lately in his growing process but I needed to find the cure in order to be by his side. I came back from his quarters and went down straight to the lab where I found out that Vincent had injected himself with the cure we recently developed. “Why would you do that? Who would attend to me?” I lashed out at him and Han gave me his note “It is brutal to keep watching you battle with the pain of the cure every time. Let’s share the pain together this time around” was what was written in the note Han said to me, “You don’t need to be afraid, I will be the attending doctor” and I nodded. I trusted her enough after all I was given the shot and placed under observation. It didn’t take up to three minutes before I fell asleep but I felt my furs sprout and my claws coming out before I lost consciousness. The next thing I woke up to was everyone fighting and running for their liv
Draco was coming back from where he went to deliver flowers as usual to Helena but he was not let in on her orders. That didn’t annoy him nonetheless, he only wanted to keep trying till she would open up to her. He was passing by the kitchen when he witnessed the sight where Amy was trying to pick on Chief Kinn, even to the extent of slapping her. He paused at the door to take a look around from one maid to the other before he started entering the kitchen till he got to Amy. “What do you think you are doing right now?” he growled at her and everywhere shook. He was so livid at the sight in front of him and the bitterness he had for Amy added fuel to the fire. “I was only trying to teach her some lessons, why is that a problem?” Amy countered, not backing down easily “Are you asking me if that is a problem right now? Can you listen to yourself?” he growled hard and rushed towards her in anger. She shuddered at the sight of his anger, she had never seen him that way. His furs sprou
The sending of several types of flowers from Alpha Draco continued day and night but I couldn’t bring myself to send him any response even though I loved the flowers. I didn’t want to give him any false hope, fall in love with him and disappear like the passing wind when death comes. It was better how we were neither enemies nor friends. “I only have to fulfil my purpose. Any other thing should not be attached. He should just focus on being the best father for our son” I stated when Han was trying to convince me to spend the little time I have with him instead of avoiding him “You might come to regret this when it’s extremely too late. It is best you enjoy everything you can now” Han insisted but I just tucked myself under the blanket and faced the other side. I couldn’t stop crying at the fact that I wouldn’t be able to stay by Draco’s side after we cleared the misunderstanding. I wouldn’t lie, I still loved him dearly. We were both torn by the greedy adults but we managed to pull
B Beta Gray was surely stunned at my reaction as I rushed towards him and jumped in his hand. He wasn’t expecting it but then he couldn’t allow me to fall so he had to catch me so fast. “Uh.. Uhmm.. You didn’t.. uhm have to.. uhm” he kept stammering and Alpha Draco came to his aid. “She didn’t have to hug you, right? I support that fully” Alpha Draco commented with a fake frown, and we all laughed at his remark. “So you managed to retrieve this from Elder Damon’s house? It’s well written and decoded”, Vincent stated as he flipped through the book. “Yes, the man with the scar has been captured too. He’s the closest aide to Elder Damon. He’s in custody at the prison”. Beta Gray chipped in with a bragging right and Vincent smiled. “He should also have the taste of what being locked up against your will looks like. I hope he rots in there”, Vincent remarked coldly before raising the book. “Since what we need is here, we should get to work as soon as possible” he added, and I agreed
HELENA’S POV Everyone was happy that I was finally awake after a long week and the Alpha instructed the kitchen to throw me a mini-feast. “Whatever she wants should be cooked for her with immediate effect. Nothing should be left undone for her, take care of all her orders with optimum care and swiftness”, he ordered, and the maids had no choice but to agree with him. “Why are you putting so much pressure on them? It’s not like I can eat more than my stomach”, I argued, but he shook his head. “You deserve everything” he declared, and I gave him a suspicious side eye. “What do you mean by that line? You are being cheesy for no reason”, I attacked, and the Alpha sighed in frustration. He moved closer to where I was attending to the flowers by the window and let out a small cough. “Helena, are you still going to continue this way? Don’t you think it’s high time I was forgiven?” he carefully asked, and my hands paused. I turned to look at him and dropped the napkin in my hand. “Dra
I finally opened my eyes after being unconscious for two days and I saw Vincent studying hard at the table close to the window at the far end of the room. I groaned slightly as I tried rolling to the side in order to stand up, but no matter how I tried, it was an impossible task. “Are you finally awake? Don’t try hard to stand up, you can never stand up for now”, Vincent cautioned and started to walk towards me when he heard my groans “Why can’t I stand up?” I questioned, losing the fight against standing up and lying there. “The treatment I placed you on is so strong that it won’t wear off for the next three days. I know that you will never rest if I tell you ordinarily, so I have to place you in absolute rest against your will and I am not sorry to take that decision”, he said boldly, and I just smiled. I knew Vincent to be stubborn and strict, so it was not surprising to see him act that way. We are both stubborn and determined, it was obvious that I wouldn’t allow that if I wer
