The Alpha's Cure Wasteland
We leave Kendra's, and I remove my phone from my clutch purse. Druscilla called with Katrina. Druscilla's voice message alerts me, and I ask Jude, "May I call back now?"Speeding through traffic, Jude answers, "We're on our honeymoon, babe. Whatever has happened can wait."Suddenly, Jude's phone starts ringing. Lily's name is displayed on his car's dashboard. I say, "You better not answer it.""Lily has Rebecca."Arms folded, I slouch down in my seat. Jude answers, "Yes.""Bruce is in jail! He killed Mitchell!""What?" I sit up in shock.Unmoved, Jude asks, "Where's Rebecca?"Lily's delirious. We can't understand anything she's saying. Jude yells, "Lily! Focus!"Breathless, she stammers, "Okay.""Bruce can handle himself. Get Rebecca home safely or send for her mother. You know Ajay and I can't return to Michigan. By now, I'm sure Bruce has told the authorities everything."Soon, we hear Katrina asking, "Lily? Who are you talking to?"Lily answers, "I'm speaking with Rebecca's mother.

Ted leaps up to help, but I yank him back down. Ted asks, "What are you doing?"I say, "Let them be. Do not get involved. We're finally free."Druscilla asks, "What's going on, mom?"We hear gunfire, and all three of us duck. Ted gasps, "The kids!"He races toward the children's dining room, and Druscilla follows. Once they're out of view, I sneak towards the entrance. Seeing Mitchell bleeding from the head makes me cover my mouth and cry.Police cars arrive, and Ted returns, speaking on his phone. He tells the dispatcher, "Yes! They're here. Thanks."Ted hugs me tight while I cry in his arms. An officer sees us and comes over. The officer asks, "May I get your names?"Ted answers, "I'm Ted Charter, and this is my wife Irene and our daughter Druscilla Creed.""May I call you by your first name?"We all answer, "Yes, officer.""Mr. Pratt has already confessed to shooting the victim, but we need everyone's account of what transpired."Ted starts by saying, "We're related to the bride."

When we land in Rio de Janeiro, I see a gorgeous navy blue and white yacht. Jude and I are matching it in our navy blue outfits. Peter tips his hat, saying, "I'll be expecting your call."Two young men and one woman greet us as we enter the ship. The captain says, "This is your staff: Angel, Dustin, and Grover. And I'm your captain, Oren."They shake our hands and then disperse. Oren leads us to his quarters and shows us a map of the route we will take.Jude asks, "Are you familiar with any of these islands?""This one was once owned, but they couldn't afford the upkeep. As a result, they abandoned it."Shrugging, Jude says to me, "Let's check that one out first?""Sure," I reply.Everything is immaculate. The staff serves us and then disappears. We're on the upper deck making love under the moonlight. While resting, Jude says, "There's a full moon tonight.""Which one is that?""Mama knew each one. I was too busy fighting who I was to become."He rolls on top of me and says, "We'll le

Our school and convent overlooked the mountains. I'm admiring the forest from the window when I'm whacked across my back, with a yardstick. "Ouch!" I screamed. The nun yelled, "Lorain, head to the principal's office!"My family wasn't Catholic, but we dabbled in that faith and many other religions. I'd often get in trouble for daydreaming. I wasn't a mischievous student or child, just different.I was placed in an orphanage since my infancy. My mother died during childbirth. Everyone in my family knew what I was, but no one wanted the responsibility. After so many fights and being molested over and over was recorded, an aunt finally took me in.Aunt Veronique was a tyrant. She was a gorgoeus lady, but her past was so cruel she had no clue about how to love. Order and respect were priority number one. If she only perceived I had an attitude, she'd beat me.Because Aunt Veronique expected me to shapeshift but had no idea when it'd take place, she made me sleep in caves. Brazil has spide

Before I became a werewolf, Aunt Veronique told me, "The spirit of Samuel the Seventh lives in the jungle underneath a waterfall." A military base was near the college I attended. The female students lusted for American soldiers. We saw them as our ticket to freedom.Experience taught me to keep my secrets. No one knew the powers I possessed. Every full moon I'd hide in the jungle. Often, I'd awaken covered in insect bits, but once a jaguar attacked me.Although I'd heal much faster than a regular human, my college buddy asked, "What the hell do you do to yourself, Lorain? At least once a month you leave and return with war wounds. Are you in an abusive relationship?"Realizing that was a great cover-up, I lied and answered, "Yes."Sensing my lies were catching up to me, I started seducing military men. Finding locations was their specialty. I figured if one fell in love with me, he'd take me to Samuel's location.One soldier and I found a dilapidated shack hidden in the jungle. You

There's no time to react so I say my chant and vanish. This spell only gives me seconds to hide. Jude isn't pleased, so he instantly turns into a werewolf. In movies, the damsel lets out a whimper when she's hiding. It's so irritating to the audience, but tonight I know it's added in movies because it's real. The fear gripping my heart is overwhelming. If I don't breathe I may pass out.So, just like the girl being chased by the monster in a horror flick covers her mouth to scream. I'm in a corner squeezing my mouth so my weeping isn't heard. In his werewolf voice, Jude growls, "Ajay, where are you?"Gripping my mouth tighter, I start hyperventilating. I have to think fast before he sees me in the spirit. Rocking and thinking, I remember the night Deena came to my suite. I hear Ellie saying, "Hurry and drop blood in the sink."Jude growls, "I found you."Without a moment to lose, I chomp down on the finger, run into the living room, let the blood drip into the fountain and breathless

I'm accompanying Ellie to visit her obstetrician. My car pulls up, and she greets, "Hi First Lady. Thanks for coming.""No need to thank me, and we're not at church. Call me Katrina.""That'll be weird, but okay, Katrina."The doctor enters the room and introduces herself. "I'm Dr. Smith, and who's this with you today?""This is my pastor's wife, Katrina.""Awesome. I'm pleased to meet you, Katrina. Well, let's get your measurements. The baby is growing perfectly."Dr. Smith is typing away when she says, "It's time for you to come in every two weeks now. So, schedule all your appointments before you leave. Once again, it was nice meeting you, Katrina. You ladies enjoy your day."After Ellie's done scheduling with the nurse, I ask, "How far along are you?""Seven months.""What? Ellie! You have to let Jude know.""No, plus I'm not keeping it. I put it up for adoption. I've already found it a home.""Jude is a plague on this earth. Everywhere he goes, there's death and destruction. Winni

I'm rushing through the house to get dressed when Tyler asks, "What's your issue, crazy lady?""Tyler, watch Eve for me! Ellie just had Jude's daughter! This is magnanimous! If only Mama were alive to see today.""I don't know how to take care of a preemie.""Ask Aaron to help! I gotta go!""Aaron? He's stupider than I am!"I'm driving down the freeway like a bat out of hell. I see Kendra's name pop up. I have her on hide alerts, so she won't call killing my vibe. I entered the hospital, and Jude just left. I groan, "Dammit!"A woman walks up to me with her hand extended. She greets, "I'm Katrina Chauffee, Ellie's pastor's wife, and you are?""Dr. Delilah Mason.""Doctor. Impressive. Are--"While she's speaking, I rush past her and ask the nurse, "May I see Ellie?""What's your name?""I'm not on any list. She's not expecting me." I say lightheartedly."I understand, but if you want to see her, I need a name.""Delilah!"The nurse asks me to wait, and I sit. Once I'm composed, I look u

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
