MARCUS P.O.V

It was a two hours ride to Morgan's little home in the village and Alicia and I had spent hours in a conversation about our likes and hates. I made sure she did most of the speaking and I did the listening but we tried as much as possible not to speak of anything aside from human lifestyle.

She told me a lot about her experiences when she was away from California, she told me about her beautiful life with her aunt and amazing friends, a time when she was free to be happy and had plenty of laughter.

Sitting still and listening to her while she poured her heart out, smiling and crying was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and it was a life that I am sad to steal from her,

I only hoped that getting into her life wouldn't destroy those sparks, I was determined that no matter what happened I wouldn't make her like me, she had to be a human like she is.

When we arrived at Morgan's home, he was seated on a short wooden chair at the front of his one bedroom flat with his

    MARCUS P.O.V "What do we do?" Travis said but my mind was far from his question.How would we escape this without me triggering my wolf form? What will Travis say If he sees my monster side?This is a wrong time to show what I am but if i don't he will die. I could see the glowing eyes of the dreadful lions sneaking out of the bushes. There were three lions and the other seven were lionesses.While I kept observing them Travis shot a bullet at one of the lions but he failed to get the shot since his hands were trembling.I thought the gunshot would scare the lions away but it didn't, rather It provoked more wrath in them.One of the lioness mounted towards Travis as he shielded himself with the gun, however the weight of the lioness dropped him to the floor.The teeth of the lioness gnashed tightly on the gun as it fought hard to pull it off and force its way to Travis neck."Help Marcus," Travis said, still struggling to get himself free from the cat but couldn't and the other lions

    MARCUS P.O.V "Travis please…" Alicia pleaded.I stared at his angry eyes and I knew he wasn't going to accept our plea."He is a monster," Travis answered. His statement put fright on their faces. Morgan's wrinkled skin got worse and I could tell that he never wanted it to be true."How could you say that sweetheart?" Emily said."I am not kidding or making up stories, I witnessed it myself, there were ten forest lions and he fought against them swinging them haggardly on stems of trees," Hearing Tyler's accusations, Morgan asked me if all he was saying was the truth.There was no denying it now so I had to answer plainly. "Yes, I am not human,""You lied to us, you said that you fought against only one lion but there were ten?" Emily said like she was hurt."Why did you not tell us what you are?" Morgan asked."Because I know that you will not accept me for what I am," I replied.Travis affirmed my prediction to be true. He was never going to accept me so he suggested that I leave t

    ALICIA'S P.O.V When Marcus brought me into the restaurant I knew something was off, we just had a bad day so why he insisted we had this meal was something that i couldn't understand. Probably it was a make up for what I had witnessed in Morgan's home but I didn't see a reason why he would do this because of that since he was the one who was hurt and not me. Even while our conversation went on I relaxed putting up all the amusing biography of my childhood which I enjoyed but what Is happening right before my eyes is something unexpected.I loved Marcus but even though I do I wouldn't want our relationship to begin this way. "Marcus, I am sorry but I don't think this is the right timing," I said but what came next was stunning."Yes It is. This is a magical moment for me and for once in previous times i can tell that you believe I am upset but I'm not. it's been so long since I felt this way and your answer today will change my life forever, I am more happy than I have ever been befor

  • The Alpha's Catalyst   The nightmare

    ALICIA'S P.O.V There were sounds of people cheering, rejoicing and clapping by my left and right side. For a brief moment I didn't know what was happening, not until I realised I was dressed in a beautiful wedding gown and I was standing on the aisle. Still uncertain about what was going on I heard a deep voice by my right side as I looked to see that it was my father Eddie and he was dressed in a comely black suit."Dad," I said, drifting my eyes down to his left palm which was open to me. "What Is going on?" I asked."Today is your wedding day, come on sweetheart," He said gently with a smile on his face as I took hold of his hand.I looked forward to the altar to see the priest and Marcus who was dressed in a comely blue suit and a cute smile was on his face. His smile was so real and attractive that I couldn't take my eyes off until I arrived at the altar and made my way opposite him.Everyone settled down at the priest's command as he made us say our marriage vows which after we

    MARCUS P.O.VThe moment I stepped into Alicia's home I got the impression that today would be one of the days I had to be on my best behaviour. Of course I had met with Alicia's father and even helped him on a crime case but his countenance this morning showed me that he was going to take a different turn. Trying to read his mind wasn't going to change a thing because I could sense he would go dynamic. At this point I could see only one picture in his eyes and it was nothing more than a widower who was sad about giving away his only child."Marcus right?" He furrowed his eyebrows as he pressed his lips together. His hesitation crept the hell out of me and no matter how hard I tried to read his mind I still could not, and following after it was an unexpected question."Why Alicia? Why must it be my daughter?" He asked.The question was simple but I was careful, because it had to be what he wanted to hear. "It's because i love her,""Love," He chuckled. "You love her… what do you do for

    EDDIE'S P.O.VEver since Marcus came to my home I have been having some sense of awkwardness in him, maybe it's just that everything seems new to him or he isn't comfortable.I know he is a good person but I can't let go of the thought that someone was taking my only child away, it's not an easy place to be but it's better that way. I did take the daughter of another man so it's time someone else does the same to me.I could tell my daughter loves him but why does it hurt so badly?I shook my head to get those thoughts off my mind and focus on the task at hand. 'This is my moment to find out whatever had been disturbing the peace of the California,'Some minutes later I arrived at the police station and my two work colleagues Jack and Desmond were present to receive me.They led me into one of the interrogation rooms and right there I found a beautiful young lady seated on a chair and her hands were chained to the table. She had blond coloured hair, fair skin colour and a nice figure.

    ALICIA’S P.O.VMy father had never kept anything secret from me before. We had always shared our deepest pains together, I know he isn’t fine and I have to find out what is going on.“What happened dad?” I muttered while I watched him walk upstairs. Marcus was the last person I knew he was with so I think that was the first place to start. As early as 10 a.m. the next morning, after making a meal for Eddie and myself I went up to his room to check up on him. I thought he was already prepared for work but he wasn't. He had refused to leave his room since last night.When I walked inside I saw him lying on the bed with his eyes fixed on the ceiling.“Good morning dad,” I greeted.“Morning sweetheart,” he replied gently, still gazing at the ceiling.“Aren’t you supposed to be at work right now?” I asked curiously.“I don’t feel like going to the office today, I asked my colleague to fill my space, I need to rest,” he answered.“Are you sure you are alright?” I asked, gently taking a seat

    MARCUS P.O.VThis was beyond what I could stand, I could sense Alicia’s suspicions but my deepest fears was that she never knew I was the one who put her friend in such a condition, if she finds out what I have done I am not sure how long our conflict will last. It could last for some months, a year, or it may result in me losing her forever, and if that happens, our marriage might not work out.I was aware Kelvin knew I was the one who damaged him; I knew what his obsession over Alicia could result to. If he wakes up and announces the details of what happened that evening to her and her father I will be doomed for sure.This was the pressure that comes upon every villain, this was the reason they committed their first dark imagination. The worst part was that I had the hunger to do the same. I wanted to kill him and make sure that he never wakes up to reveal the truth.Not all villains are bad but the circumstances they had to face had made them what they are, the pressure to keep th

We have already fixed a date to come visit you in person," She said."That's great news," I said."What about you, Maxwell? Do you have any charming Princess you would like to tell us about?" Zoey asked."No, I haven't really thought about it lately," he replied."Hold on, are you…" "Don't even complete that statement," Maxwell interrupted Zoey. "I've been occupied with other things and I am sure the right time will come." The place was silent for a while. "I'm sorry, I almost forgot how hard it is when viewing the world from your eyes. It must have been dark," Zoey said."It was, but thanks to my parents who gleamed light on me," Maxwell replied. "We haven't told you yet but finding a partner for Maxwell isn't as easy as it is for you if not he would have found one by now," I said.

Alicia, Maxwell and Stiles were also with me.We went upstairs as we walked through a fancy door which opened up to a large and furnished room. There was a large round table at the center of the room and an elderly man was seated on one of the chairs.“Mr. Lucas, your guests have arrived,” the man who brought us in announced.Lucas’ eyes lit the moment he saw us. “Oh, please take a seat,” he said with a cheerful smile on his face and we all did. “This must be your beautiful wife Alicia Lindsey.”“Yes, she is,” I replied then furrowed my eyebrows in uncertainty. “How did you know?” I asked.He lifts his eyebrows. “Well, news flies these days, especially giv

    ALICIA P.O.VIt hurts so much to think I was wrong but it hurts even more to give up trying. I had always fought to have even if it was a moment with my son but now at the verge of losing everything I realized I had made a terrible mistake.I saw his deadly fangs above me; they were ready to rip off my bones. His claws were more painful than anything I had ever felt. I had lost him to the darkness. All these could have been avoided if not for my greed. If I had sacrificed him earlier, I would have been able to save everyone.I was about to take my last breath when I heard a clash. I opened my eyes and Maxwell was off me. I looked sideways to see Marcus struggling to hold him back from getting to me.‘No,’ I thought to myself as I transformed into a human. I struggled on my feet. If anyone had to die while trying to stop him then it would be me.“Maxwell, stop please,” I yelled but my voice ended in a whisper. While approaching, I watched Maxwell hit Marcus severally until he returned

    MARCUS P.O.VFinally it’s time, the dark clouds had covered the sky and it was only thirty minutes before the blood moon rises. We were all in the woods, far deep into the island and as far away as possible from the main city.There were a lot of us. Alicia and I were only standing about ten feet away from Maxwell while Ronald, Wilfred and Flynn were chaining him to the trees. We found the best spot in the forest with the largest trees and we also used multiple large iron chains in hopes that they will be able to hold him until his transformation is complete.I could already see Maxwell’s beastly eyes as he kept glaring at us.“Ronald, hurry up,” I said.“It’s almost ready,” he answered and after a while they both returned to where I was standing.“Max, you have to stay calm, you can do this,” Alicia said.“No, I can’t,” Maxwell replied. “Save me, please… Mom,” he called out.I held her back when she was about to take a step. She looked at me and I wagged my head gently."Dad, why are

Thus time Aracely won't be the one coming to me, I would be meeting her myself."Aracely!" I called as soon as I arrived at her secret grounds."Marcus," I heard her voice behind and I turned to see her standing just three feet away. "What are you doing, you should not be here." "I need answers, Aracely. Enough of the preamble… tell me what I should expect tomorrow," I said."I have already told you everything you have to know. Tomorrow will crown his fate and the chance he will be good is slim, it might not work so you must be prepared," She replied."No, let me look at it myself," I said."That has never happened since the history of Alpha’s, you cannot use that sacred tool," She said.“It doesn’t matter now. If my son falls into the darkness he will destroy you and burn down this place and there will be nothing left…”“Enough! Marcus,” she interrupted me. “You have a

As we all know today is my birthday and I am entirely grateful to all of you for being here but most especially to my awesome parents Mr and Mrs Dominick. They have always stood by me all through, most especially my mother Alicia Dominick…”I heaved a sigh as I closed my eyes in disappointment at the last sentence he made. I looked at Alicia and I could see the huge smile over her face. I could tell that she was enjoying it. I thought I was Maxwell’s favourite but it ended up being her.“Most especially your mother, huh,” I chuckled, then looked back at the stage.“I am grateful that despite the challenges she was tough enough to face it and determined to hold on to me until the end, even if it could have killed her. When everyone gave up on me she persisted. I love you so much mom and I will love you until the end

    MARCUS P.O.VI walked inside the building while holding Alicia’s hand. The hall was filled up with both humans and werewolves as rock music filled the air. There was no strange pack present; I made sure that the sentinels never allowed any werewolf from another tribe to venture into the island.Everything was coordinated just like it should be and I trusted my pack to be great at blending in with the humans without causing any arousal, and that was all thanks to my late parents who taught them well.“Marcus, look who showed up,” Alicia said. I looked only to see that it was Katherine. I saw the excitement over Alicia’s face.“Will she be a burden to you?” I asked.“Are you kidding me,” Alicia said with a frown on her face.“Sorry, I was only joking, go on, go and have fun with your friend, I will keep an eye on things,” I said to her.“Okay, please watch Max but don’t spy on him,” she said.“Yes ma’am, but you know that they both mean the same thing…” I was yet to complete my statemen

However, he Still assumed his position as the Alpha of his father's pack.He wasn't the only ruler of the pack since I was ruling beside him. To me it all seemed like a dream. And when speaking of a dream I am talking about the story of a feeble human who fell in love with a charming beast, a mortal chased and hunted by a pack for years was now ruling as Luna of the same pack that tried to kill her.Now the feeble mortal is known as the most revered Luna since the history of the Dominik's pack. And not just that, but far stronger than any Luna who had ever ruled beside the Alpha.Looking back from where I am I was grateful for everything that I had gone through.

Even right now I feel sorry and indebted to her.The dark cloud had already covered the sky when Meredith escorted us out of the house. She wrapped her blanket around her body to protect her from the cold breeze and by the time we arrived at our car she looked down at Maxwell. “Thank you for showing me what you showed me earlier. It felt good to see her face again,” she said to him.“You are welcome ma’am. I know you needed it,” Maxwell replied.Hearing that got me curious but I guessed it was best that I don’t ask. I was okay as long as whatever he showed Meredith made her see things differently.“Guys, I think we have company,” Ronald alarmed us.
