The Alpha's Cure Mission Accomplished
Justine returned home with Emelia to gather my belongings while Mitchell and I did all the paperwork needed. Mitchell says, "Because we're more like an agency or business, not just a resident, the Knights require we submit information on anyone visiting our location. I'm not using your real name because you're seeking safety, correct?"I nod yes. Winking, he says, "Bruce taught us well. We got you covered." "Lots of people come here seeking refuge?" I ask."Nah. But since we're a "ministry," we like people to feel safe when they feel lost, alone, threatened, or whatever.""Why'd you emphasize ministry? Are you one or not?"Analyzing me a moment, poking out his lip, he answers, "No reason."Emelia returns alone. She's a stocky Latino woman with dimples. There are three bedrooms on the second floor. Lifting her keys, she unlocks one door, saying, "This is the best room in the house. Sweet dreams.""Thanks, but I'm not going to bed just yet."With a nod, she placed my suitcase inside t

Mouth dropped with wanton eyes. Mrs. Ricard asked, "Now, who are you?""Hi, Mrs. Ricard. I'm Jude Knight.""I've owned this home for over three years and never met you.""I travel often, Mrs. Ricard.""Please, call me Carol.""Are you ready, Carol?"I stand frozen, watching momentarily, before Shellie asks, "Lead in your feet? Let's go."Now, out of my trance, I nod and hurry behind Shellie. When I open her car door, Jude's right behind me, saying, "Hopefully, I'll see you at the dinner tonight, Ajay."Wide-eyed, I stare his way when Carol interjects, "How do you know Ajay?"Gazing into my eyes, Jude answers, "She visits here quite often.""Where's your home, Ajay?"Still in the Twilight Zone, I remain mute while Jude answers, "She prefers staying at our villa."Looking me up and down with her nose in the air, Carol says, "Well, maybe I'll stay a night. I've never heard anyone mention how nice it is.""Your home's much nicer, Carol. The villa is to accommodate visitors, not our reside

While they're screaming, Reggie and I start searching for a plan of escape. He removes a switchblade and starts cutting through the back of our tent. The moment he's done, our entire tent is kicked over, and we scream for bloody murder.The lights pointed toward us are blinding. Then we hear, "Stand with your hands lifted in the air!"Hands lifted, I see Mitchell, Emelia, Andrew, and two other Knight brothers. Mitchell and Emelia are in camouflage, while the Knight boys are dressed in all black. Glaring my way, Andrew says, "The island laws and rule handbook distinctively instruct there is no camping allowed on this island. Each of you will be charged a fine of $3500, as stated in section 11C. No one is allowed to leave the island until this fine is paid."Mitchell's glaring at me when he adds, "All underage minors parents will be charged, but anyone over 18 years of age will be charged as an adult."Jonas scoffs, "This is wack. I'll pay for everyone myself, even the minor. We're ju

I'm on the other side of the island when Melanie calls, asking, "Jude, where are you? Deena's parents, Mama, and the tailor are looking for you.""Let me clear my mind. Tell Mama not to worry. I promise I'll be there."We ended our call, and I parked and then hiked up to a high cliff. As I gaze out into the ocean, I can't believe I'm marrying Deena. She's human, and I don't love her. How miserable must my life end? Along with this fiasco, Ajay is transitioning into a werewolf somewhere in the world. After relaxing my mind for over an hour, I return to my jeep. My phone is buzzing and vibrating out of control. While driving, my phone rings and I hurl it out the window. They'll see me when I get there. On my way home, I ride past the church. I see Mitchell and Emelia, so I pull into the driveway. They see me and stop what they're doing. Smiling, Emelia walks up, asking, "How are you?"I shrugged, and Mitchell asked, "Are congratulations appropriate?"Exiting my truck, I answer, "Not

Knowing Ajay was here for the wedding, I purposed to be late for my dress rehearsal. Once dressed, I snuck through a guest room window and hid near the woods' entrance. After Ajay entered, I followed shortly after. When I reached my front porch, Micah hugged me, whispering, "I love you, brother. I only want and hope the best for you. I'm sorry we fought earlier." I end our embrace with a nod and then detour into my dining room, where I come up behind Ajay. The closer I get, the more intoxicating her perfume fragrance is. Her body looks fantastic from the back. Now, behind her, I lean into her ear. Quickly, she turned to face me, and she looked stunning.Her innocent eyes gaze through me. Those near-neon pupils assure me a monster is being birthed inside her. The longer I stare, the more I want to kiss her. Instead, I turn cold towards her and cringe as I walk to Deena.Although I'm interacting with our wedding guests, I'm watching Ajay. Soon, I see Micah invading her personal space.

Bruce assures me I'll never be blamed for Micah's injuries, yet he insists I stay hidden. Too, he pays for my fine. He said, "No one wants those messy Masons involved. I told Emelia to let them stay where they are."The following Monday, I put in a request for a leave of absence from my job. Staying here in Bruce's cabin, I focus on living in peace.My childhood traumas seem to follow me. No matter how much I seek peace, I seem to attract chaos. Bruce called it a generational curse that I should give over to God. I have never been religious, but with the comfort Bruce brings, I'm starting to understand why people attend church. I've enjoyed a week in solitude without a phone or spending long periods of time with others. As much as I hate leaving Ken and Lana in limbo, it's my best option. I take a short hike through the woods to the nearest beach at dusk. Standing at the shore, I behold an aesthetic violet and orange sky. Removing my shorts and tank, I dive into the water and swim o

My ferry has come and gone, and I don't care. Knight Island feels like home now. I'm sure Ken thinks I'm a heartless lying bitch, but Lana understands. Jude never returned after he seduced me on the beach, but I wasn't worried. He and I had bonded, so I knew we'd see each other before long. Although he hasn't told me much of anything, I know I'm more right than wrong when assuming something's unhuman about Jude.Staring into the mirror, I don't feel as pretty as I felt a few months back. My hair seemed thinner, and my pupils were back dark. Perhaps I may have dreamt I was more attractive than I feel. Whatever it was, I was back to looking like I always have. At the last minute, Bruce insisted I join them at the Luna Harvest Festival.I ask, "May I borrow a truck and go to the mall? I need a beautician."Not having responsibility here, I had no reason to touch all the money I had in my accounts. I paid my rent and car note up for a month with the $3500 Emelia swindled from Delilah fo

Jude jams on the brakes after hitting the side of an oncoming vehicle. The impact causes my neck to jerk back, and then I slam my head into the dashboard. Only seconds later, another vehicle rammed into the back of us, and our car slid. We spin and stop once the car's back end is crushed into a tree.High-pitched beeps ring in my ears as I struggle to open my eyes. Now squinting, I see a blurred vision of moving teal-green uniforms. Head throbbing, I raise my hand to massage my temple, but my arms are constrained by tubes and cords.Once I opened my eyes, a nurse grins my way, saying, "Hello, Ajay. Where do you feel pain?"Swallowing to moisten my dry throat, I answer, "Everywhere.""Any areas more than others?""Yes, my neck, head, and knee.""Okay. On a scale from 1-10, how much are you in pain?""My knee is a six, but my head and neck are nines.""Thanks, sweetie. My name is Jenny. You're at Mount Sinai Hospital. Dr. Warton will be in shortly."Jenny starts whispering to someone,

The Alpha's Cure CURED
The same night I googled Dr. Houseman. He has a private practice across town. I schedule an appointment, but he's not available until next month. Uncomfortable going to anyone else, I keep the appointment and buy a home pregnancy test.My sweaty palms wet the box, while my trembling hand held the stick steady. I waited the instructed time, and it came back inconclusive. I run to the drugstore and purchase three more tests. They all yield the same result.Justine told me Delilah was discharged from the ICU and apologized to Zelma. Delilah told Zelma, "I've been consumed with Jude and finding his truth for so long that I haven't even lived. These days I grieve for Mama. She was so deep into this that there was no way she could walk away and live a normal life.I've had Eve only a few weeks, and I love her as my own. Mama loved Jude. She did what she thought was best. If Jude ever comes for Eve, she's his, so I'd have no choice but to return his daughter. But until then, I'll love and ra
The Alpha's Cure The Purest Medicine
I left Floyd perplexed. Soon, I heard Jude questioning me about the short story Eve wrote about Samuel and his brother. Plopping onto my couch, I close my eyes and concentrate, hoping to remember anything significant.Suddenly, I recall Mr. Knight saying, "I hear my mother's singing in my head and whisper, "Dreamers? No, filthy dreamers. My bloodied fingers thumb through my Bible. Weak and dying, I circle the chapter at the top of the page. My shaky hand draws an arrow, and I write, This is his name."Immediately, I rushed and opened the small suitcase I had taken from the island. It has Jude's Bible inside. I remove it, go to the table of contents, and find the Book of Jude. Jude had circled the title in blood.As I stare at the encircled name, I realize that Samuel VII and Mr. Knight are the same. Samuel is the baby's father. The story instructed the Knight's lineage to name his son and the next Alpha, Jude.Soon I'm wondering why Samuel slaughtered his students. Did he hope to be k
The Alpha's Cure Decipherer
Paige offers to go with me to see Mrs. Freer. I decided it was best to go alone. Walking on campus was strange. It seems like eons ago this was where I spent most of my time. Upon entering the administration building, I see familiar faces. Some greet me while others walk by, oblivious to who I am. I exit the elevator on our floor and see Mrs. Freer talking with two coworkers.Seeing me, she does a double-take. Quickly, she ends her conversation and heads toward me. "Ms. Vernon. This is a bewildering surprise.""Hi, Mrs. Freer. My name's Mrs. Knight now, and yes, I'm sure seeing me is surprising.""Mrs. Knight, wow. Well, congratulations. Now, may I know why you're here?""I need to speak with a professor, preferably one knowledgeable in astronomy.""Professor Floyd was a friend of Phyllis's. She asked for the same help right before she passed.""Mrs. Freer, it's terrible what happened to Phyllis. I'll admit, I was pretty heartless in the past, but I'm a new person. If possible, I'd a
The Alpha's Cure Stay In The Light
I decide to wait in the car and let Justine handle everything. Once Zelma opens the door, she sees me. Instantly, she gripes, "What is she doing here?"Justine says, "She needs our help, Zelma.""From the moment I first helped her, it's been nothing but tragedy for those I love. You promised me you wouldn't go to Knight Island.""If we hadn't gone, Ajay would've been stranded there.""I don't care!" Zelma shouts."We're not like that, Zelma." Justine sighs.As much as it hurts, Zelma is right. Since the moment I stepped on Knight Island, it's been nothing but devastation and death. Once we get to their home, I retrieve my suitcase and leave. I tell Justine, "I promise I'll be in touch."Before I exit, Zelma stops me, saying, "I don't hate you, Ajay. And I understand the hold Jude has on you. I know you're worried and want to find him, but have you ever considered maybe he wants to be lost?Delilah attacked me over some books with mathematical formulas that no human could possibly deci
The Alpha's Cure Rescue Me
I'm hiding in what's left of this burned cabin when I hear voices. Realizing they're women, I rush out into the open. I see a woman running, and two chasing her. Then I hear, "Shellie, stop running!"I see Justine and cry out, "Justine! Over here!""Ajay? Is that you?" Justine shouts.Immediately, Shellie stops and runs toward me. Dottie and Justine come to me as well. They all stood staring my way, speechless. Slowly, Justine reaches to touch me and asks, "Are you okay?"The only thing I could do was cry. All three of them huddle around me. These strange sounds in the distance make Dottie say, "I think we need to go.""Are you alone? Where's Jude?" Justine asks."I'm alone, and Dottie's right. We need to leave."They have food and liquor on their boat. All three care for me until I'm no longer trembling from fear. We're miles away from the island when Justine asks, "Do you want to talk about it?"How do I explain this? Honestly, I don't know what happened myself. Coughing to clear my
The Alpha's Cure Justine's Journey
Zelma doesn't know. I've been looking for Ajay forever. After I learned she practiced witchcraft, I told Zelma. Zelma warned me, "Knight Island was demonic. We just didn't know it. Dad was privy to some information but tragically learned it wasn't just superstition and ghost stories."I'd called Ajay but she never called back. Then, I decided to wait for her in the library's occult section. Afraid other students would see me and think I was a witch, I started asking about her instead.The student aid at the desk knew who she was. He told me, "Ajay is great. I haven't seen her in a minute, but sometimes she'd go to the coffee shop down the street."Cafe Sheol made me look more sketchy than sitting in the library. Only the barista and I are present. I go to the counter, order a tall latte, and ask, "Hi Cecily, I'm Justine. Do you remember a girl named Ajay being a customer?"Before I can describe her, Cecily answers, "Of course. I love Ajay. Why do you ask?"I explained how we lost cont
The Alpha's Cure Life Flashes
My life flashes before me as we drop to the ground. I open my eyes and am in the top bunk bed at my foster home. It's a clear night. As I gaze out into the stars, I think, I wish someone loved me.The Michaels have four foster children. All four of us are girls. We're all around the same age. I climb out of bed to use the toilet and overhear my foster parents discussing how one of the girls has been adopted.I hurry back to my room, crying. Now, staring into the night sky again, I whisper, "Please let someone love me." The following morning, Aunt Irene adopted me.It's my senior year of high school. My boyfriend, Benjamin, and I ditch prom and drive to the marina. We sneak in and lie in someone's boat. Lying beside each other, we gaze up into the sky, and he asks, "Do you think anyone's truly out there?"I answer, "Look how beautiful and vast the sky is. How can it not be?"Nodding, Ben says, "I agree. So, is it God or aliens?""Definitely, God. Aliens are techies, according to what t
The Alpha's Cure Homebound
After weeks of sailing, we find nothing. We return to Brazil, and Jude says, "Let's just go home."The closer we get to Knight Island, the more uneasy I feel. Early morning, we leave Florida. Soon, the island appears, but it's no longer the paradise I knew. It's burning wasteland. Wide-eyed, I look at Jude, but he's expressionless. I stammer, "W-What happened?"Knight Island looks exactly like the island I spent a night alone on. Had I swam all the way here and then returned to another location near Columbia? Our boat hits a rock behind this burned-down villa. Jude anchors our boat and then stretches out his hand. Nervous, I lightly place my palm in his. He helps me to shore. Once he releases me, I stare into his eyes.Exhaling, he pans across the island, saying, "They would've told my secret. I start to panic, but a still voice calmly says, "Agree with him."Through a shaky voice, I say, "You're right, babe."Jude cuts his eyes at me and says, "Come here. I'll carry you."He lifts
The Alpha's Cure 1607
Mrs. Dotson taps her ruler on her desk, saying, "Sit down, students. Class is in session. It's October 30. Today we will explore stories of myths and monsters."A crisp autumn breeze gusts through the room from the opened window. The ten children are prim and proper for school, in their uniforms. Each innocent face intently gazes at Mrs. Dotson, anticipating her reading.She looks up and sees me standing in her doorway. Her eyes light up, and she says, "Kind day to you, Mr. Knight. Is there something that you need?""I'm celebrating my birthday. I hoped to leave a tad earlier. Will you see to it that my class leaves on time?""Anything for you, Mr. Knight.""Thanks."I enter my mill and chain myself in the dungeon. Everyone I love dies. It's been 500 years, and I'm still here. As the sun sets and the full moon rises, I begin my change. Though I can control my inner beast, tonight I'm frustrated and want to kill. But killing will attract unwanted attention. Once I'm transformed, I let
