Chapter 6.

*.*

"Why should I trust you, Luna?" 

Azura's proclamation made Cora furrow her brows in astonishment.

"I just took an oath by the name of the moon goddess. Why would you think a wolf species would joke with her sacred name?" Cora questioned as Azura motioned her to stand up in her kneeling position and she did, dusting off the dust from her knees.

"Don't blame me, Cora. The wolves are sly creatures" 

"At least not at the expense of the moon goddess's name"

"Let's get back to business, Cora. You would really do what I want if I help you?" 

"That's correct. That is if you could help me" Cora affirmed.

"There is nothing Azura can not do. But the issue is that I have trust issues. I have gone through a lot in the past and wouldn't want history to repeat itself" She looked elsewhere as Cora sighed.

If she really wanted the witches to help her, she has to earn their trust.

"I will give you a top secret that would put the entire wolfdom in chaos if let out. If I do not do my own side of the bargain, then you spill it. I stand at risk if someone leaked it" 

Azura peered deep into her eyes and all she could see was sincerity and desperation.

"Hmm, you sound and look desperate. What must this secret be?"

"Alpha Creed of Mountain Howl Pack is dead, he died three d___"

Azura gasped and covered Cora's mouth with her right palm before Cora could finish her speech and she was openly shocked at this gesture.

"Shhhhh... You must not say that in the open. The woods have ears. Come on, we have to go to the coven right away!" Azura started walking away as fast as she could.

Cora arranged her stuff and trailed behind her back. They got to a place that looked every inch of the forest as Azura mumbled some words under her breath.

"Aperiatur mihi, demittatur velum"

There was a rumbling sound as a portal opened, Azura turned back to look at Cora who was staring back at her in surprise.

"What was that?"

"It has always been there. It is a cloaking spell. We made it that way after we were banished. Come on, let's go" Azura walked in first and was no more seen. 

Cora looked around, frowning, she was skeptical about trusting the witches. But she had no choice as she sighed and walked into the portal too, and it closed up immediately.

"Come on, over here" Azura beckoned to her as she took her time to look around the coven.

The witches were going on with their businesses but were giving her looks that were dreadful.

"Why are they looking at me like that?"

"You are an outsider and a species they considered an enemy" 

She kept following Azura as they moved toward a cottage in the village.

"How could they tell my species?"

"Your eyes are glowing like a flame of fire" She bulged her eyes when Azura pointed that out.

She quickly closed her eyes and opened them back, then her eyes were back to normal.

"What was that?" Azura questioned.

"A defense mechanism. My wolf's side, Cee, knows I am in the black forest" 

"Oh"

"Yeah, I guess the hatred for each species is mutual" Cora said.

"I dare say"

They got to the cottage in the middle of the town and Azura dropped the basket outside. She knocked twice at the door and opened it.

"Come on in" Azura spoke and walked in. Cora surveyed the environment before walking into the cottage.

Immediately she walked inside the room, she heard incarceration and before she could know what was happening, a strange wind swept her off her feet as she flew and hit the walls of the cottage.

"Hazel!! Stop it! She is with me!" Azura barked.

Cora's eyes glowed like a flame as she tried to control her wolf's side which was struggling to surface.

"We agreed that no more wolves in the dark woods after the last one! What does she want?" Hazel fired back.

As they argued, Cora kept battling with Cee and finally subdued her. She sucked in a breath of  relief and took her time to look at the old cottage. There was a chimney, and the fireplace looked old.

Herbs of different kinds were scattered on the floor, bottles, and portions could be seen hanging on the wall and there was a big pot on the fireplace.

Hazel looked exactly like Azura and another girl was sitting on a wooden chair, knitting a seess, and she looked exactly like them too.

Their hard voice to each other brought Cora back to the reality of things as she touched her aching head. By this time, she has managed to suppress Cee completely.

"Yes, I know I promised that after the other wolf, no more wolves would be allowed in the black woods. But this is a different and urgent situation and you have to trust me on this" Azura said.

"Whoa! This redhead has quite a lot of temper!" Cora stood up from the floor as they all looked at her.

"I don't care how urgent it is, I want her out of here!" Hazel insisted.

"Come on, Nora, please say something about this" Azura said to the other girl knitting the dress.

She stopped what she was doing and looked up at them, then she turned to look at Cora who just stared back at her.

"She does not seem harmful. At least not like the other wolf that came here the other day" Nora said with a shrug.

"Seriously, Nora? They banished us out of Mountain Howl but wouldn't stop coming here for help? This is outrageous!!" Hazel stormed out of the cottage as Azura sighed and turned to look at Cora.

"I don't blame her for being that way" Cora said.

"Come on, have a seat and let's talk" Azura motioned at her as Cora looked at Nora. 

Azura quickly understood what she meant by that and smiled.

"She would have to know about this. Even Hazel. I don't know what you want my help for, but whatever it is, I can't pull the spell alone and we have to cipher our magic to do whatever you want" 

"Oh, are you guys..."

"Yes. We are triplets. Azura, Nora, and Hazel. I am the eldest, and Hazel is the youngest, we are stronger together"

"But most werewolves only know about me because I am the one who accommodates and help them when they need help" Azura explained.

"Wow! How do other witches tell the difference between you three?" 

"We engrave our names on our wrists" 

She showed Cora her left wrist as she saw the tattoo of her name there.

"Wow!"

"Yeah"

"So, what wolf was Hazel talking about?"

"There was a wolf that came for a silver blade, we made one for him. You can imagine what he used in the exchange for that"

(Hmm, Creed was right. It was truly a wolf) Cora thought.

"What was the prize?" She asked.

"I can't tell you that, I'm sorry"

"What is the name of this wolf?"

"I can't tell you that either. We took an oath not to spill" Azura said to her disappointment.

"Well, that wolf killed the alpha" Cora declared as both sisters stared at her in shock.

"What, Alpha Creed is dead?" Hazel who was just coming back to the room asked in shock as Cora nodded.

"Yes, but the other werewolves do not know about his death, and I what it to stay that way" she added.

"Hmm, why do I sense division in the wolfdom?" Nora spoke.

Cora let out the breath she has been holding in and sighed.

"That's correct. That wolf that came for the silver blade is a member of the pack" 

"Why do you come to us then? We can't do anything for you. This has to do with the wolves and we can not interfere" Azura blurted out. 

"I can't back out. You three are in this as much as I am in it because you know too much already"

"What do you want from us, actually"

"Without them knowing the alpha is dead, a new alpha would not be crowned. I don't want it to fall into the wrong hands because no one knows who the traitor is"

"So, how do we come into the picture?" Nora questioned. She was no more knitting the dress and was fully interested in the conversation now. 

"No one knows there is a traitor in the pack. And I want enough time to fish him out before a new alpha would be crowned" she stopped to observe if they were following, when she was convinced, she continued. 

"They think the alpha is alive, and they have asked me to provide proof in seven days" she concluded.

"More like I blabbed I could provide him in seven days" She added.

"What? Are you nuts? You are not suggesting we perform some necromancy, are you?" Azura angrily stood from her stool.

"If that is the only way, why not?"

"We would never be foolish enough to tamper with dark magic. Life from the other world in exchange of life from this world" Azura spoke with her voice like steel.

"And dark magic would drain all magic in us, that is if we would be able to survive it. We can't risk it" Nora explained as Cora sighed.

"But we could use a cloaking spell" Hazel spoke for the first time as they looked in her direction.

"Who is going to volunteer to be used? Stop saying the impossible" Azura spoke, pacing up and down the room.

"If our dear luna would take the pain of going to the human world to get a human who could do it, I see no reason it shouldn't work" Hazel pointed out.

"Are you nut? How would she survive in the human realm?" 

"I will do it!" Cora spoke as they looked in her direction instantly.

  • The Alpha's Human Twin   Epilogue

    EPILOGUECORA CREED BOSTONNEXT DAYIt was a lovely morning that Cole and I decided to visit Hazel's gravestone in the black woods with flowers even if we knew we might face some opposition from the coven.The council had said they would give me and Cole feedback about their decision by noon and by that time, I believe we would be back.I still don't understand why Cole is so optimistic about the outcome of the council meeting, but I just wish I could be as positive as him because our offense was just too much.I've deceived the Pack for months and made a deal with the witches that also threatened the existence of the Pack. And in as much as what I did was for the greater good, it still points me to be a traitor and an enemy of the Pack.Still, I don't understand why Lucas had suggested we take some guards with us, but I had told them we were fine on our own and right now, I and Cole are on our way to the black woods without saying much to each other.Surprisingly, I could still remem

He was determined to break down the door and make her come out if that was what he needed to do to get her outHe hadn't moved far when he saw Max walking in the opposite direction, he stopped when he saw Max walking toward him."Hey" Max said to him to his astonishment."Hi" he responded with a nod. The atmosphere became awkward as they continued to look at each other without speaking then Cole decided to speak."I know it's an eyesore for you to see me hanging around. It's just a matter of time before I'll be out of here and you would be__""Shut up, silly" Max stopped him from speaking as he creased his brows."I know I haven't been a nice person, Cole. And I feel so guilty for the death of my brother, Creed" he lowered his head.Co

    Chapter 150.*.*Boston sighed and took in a deep breath and by this time, tears were all over Cora's face."That was how I found out the figure that had visited me was the moon goddess herself" he went on to explain."What about the pregnancy, what did you both do about it?" Cole asked."Nala told me the moon goddess has already told Alpha Rex about the pregnancy and he was to keep shut about it. But Nala was scared she might give birth to a human baby" Cora blinked her eyes when she heard that as she was in the same shoes. But she didn't allow the men to see the look of uneasiness on her face."But the moon goddess was ready for anything" Boston continued."No one was to know the pregnancy does not belong to Alpha Rex and it was a secret between me, Alpha Rex, Nala, and the moon goddess" "And the moon goddess didn't wipe off my memory about the wolfdom because she was prepared for anything. She wanted the baby to be returned to me if it turns out to be human. And the Pack was to b

    Chapter 149*.*The trio finished having breakfast and lunch in the sitting room. Cole was clearing the table right now while Boston was wiping his mouth with a tablecloth."The food is satisfying, even if it isn't__""What? Delicious?" Cole asked and Boston grinned."I didn't say that, you did" he replied and Cora couldn't help laughing.When the table was cleared, they sat around the table and waited for Boston to finish picking his teeth so he could continue the story. And when he eventually stopped, he took in a long deep breath and rested his back on the chair, then continued the narrative."Sorry... Being old is something tough. When you get to my age, you would understand what I am talking about" he chuckled."If you are going to ask where you left off in the story, then it's where you said the moon goddess visited you" Cole said, resting his elbows on the table."Thank you, Cole" he returned."Do you mean you saw the moon goddess? I don't think anyone has ever seen her" Cora h

    Chapter 148.*.*Boston shrugged and turned to face elsewhere while Cora and Cole remained speechless for a while."Okay... I would have felt the same way she felt" Cora nodded her head repeatedly."Why didn't you tell her what you were?" Cole questioned his father."I didn't know I would fall in love with her that deeply!" "The plan was not to fall in love. It was to stay with her until she finish taking care of my injured leg while feeding me so I wouldn't die of starvation" he stopped to catch his breath."But you know the heart, it does stupid things even if you try to tame it" he finished with a bleak expression on his face.He was about to open his mouth and speak again when his stomach grumbled for food, making Cora and Cole's stomachs grumble too."I guess I have been talking for way too long" he breathed out."I'll make hazelnut soup and potatoes" Cole stood up."I'll help you out" Cora slowly stood up too.Cole handed the locket pendant to his father who took it from his gr

    Chapter 147*.*"Wait... Hold on a second" Cole interrupted him as they turned to look at him."How were you able to have sex with her with the necklace around your neck? Didn't it by any chance...""Burn her?" Boston completed the sentence for him and he nodded, recalling how he had had to toss the necklace away when he was about to have sex with Cora at the fortress."Well, Cole" he began."I never take off my clothes anytime we are doing it" he shrugged."Funny""Why? You were scared of the necklace touching her or her finding out?" Cora asked this time."Not really. I was scared of her seeing my tattoo of the armory and making her ask questions I couldn't explain" he said."That would have been awkward. Didn't she ask questions?" Cole asked."She did"FLASHBACKBoston and Nala were on the bed, kissing, smooching, and in a heated romance while she unlocked their lips and peered deeply into his eyes."What is it?" He asked when she had looked at him far too long."I don't know... Bu
