There was a time when I thought life was simple. We live, procreate and then die. But now that I think about it, it’s much more complicated than that. Somewhere beyond the lines, there’s a connection that twines every living being to one another. A connection. Some sort of unexplainable thing that connects us from person to person until you meet the one who you needed at that point in time. Fate, as the literates call it. If everyone was born in an equal world, then there would be no status quo. No discimination. I know my potential and I know my limits. If I was born as a Beta, my life would be different. If I tell everyone I’m just as smart, talented and as woodworking as they are, they’ll only laugh and tell me I’m delusional. Status and rank is everything. I’m not unaware of how the Betas and Gammas see Omegas like me. Just like Rex, when he disappeared I felt nothing. And if I was being honest, I felt a sense of relief. ‘Why did Ahbaya choose a street dog like you?’ Was t
With every passing second I feel like I’m losing my mind. I bite my nails as I look for something that I could use to stop the bleeding. Anything. And then I remembered I have a spare shirt on my bag that I keep whenever I smell like smoke. I grabbed the shirt, tore the cloth with all my might, making a long dressing for the wound. Carefully, I lift Ahbaya up by sliding my arm under her neck, just to slide the cloth and wrap it around her.Ahbaya frowned, and murmured. “This will be quick. Bear with me, please.” Minutes feel like hours and I did what I could to clear her face and hands. “It’s going to be okay.” I whispered soothing words. She keeps on fidgeting and moving. Her face contorts in pain as she whimpers. I clicked my tongue as I reached for her hand to wipe off the blood. Frustration ran over me. Ahbaya’s body was so cold. I’ve never held her like this before. Her body was always so warm, and her face was flushed and she always smiled. I didn’t realize that I was alr
“I have to go home — why?” “Alpha’s orders.” We were pacing out of the Castle when I asked Emery. We were threading through the darkness. The thistles and bushes of the forest remained unkind, piercing and scratching my bare feet. Emery was in a rush, telling me to pack up only what I needed. Unlike the other times he assisted me out of the Castle, my guard wasn’t walking me with a leash. I began to wonder what was going on. Emery had always been a man of few words. Now his answers were either a series of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ or a two worded statement. He’s even more secretive than Martha’s secretary. “I thought my blood contract with her meant forever.” Emery stopped walking, turning back to me and his eyes were dark. Clearly he was pissed off. “It is.” I breathed in deeply, not taking anymore step and tried to put on a brave face. Slamming my feet against the dry ground, I opened my mouth and screamed; “Then I’m not leaving until you give me an answer I’ll believe — or else, I’m
At the end of the day, I couldn’t help myself. “I was bought by someone. Someone important.” Was my sincere confession to my best friend while I promised myself not to tell her everything. The two of us decided to go back to my place where there’s less ears to hear, and no judging eyes. Dane stood up from my bed and looked like she had an epiphany. She leaned forward then slapped my shoulder, as if she had always known and was just waiting for me to actually tell her the truth. “I knew it!” “Huh?” My eyes narrowed as I stared at her. A part of me wondered what’s on her curious mind. Dane and I have known each other since we were kids. Her mother was an omega while her father was a soldier, a Gamma. And while others saw her as one of the lucky few that she’s born a beta. She’s not. Ever since her father found out her mother was pregnant, he threw them out of his house like pests. Turns out, Dane’s mother was supposed to remain a secret. He was already committed to someone. A hig
"I know someone who is doing even worse things than you." Dane blurted out when I thought all things were over. “Compared to that little-shit, you’re a saint.” "There are four of us." I paused, remembering Rex had gone missing. "No,no,no. There’s three of us. And we were given a schedule when we will be seeing her.” "Well, that changes things..." Dane’s demeanor changed, she looked at me then let out a laugh. “Are you serious? Like a harem?” A part of me couldn’t look her in the eye. So I just took a deep breath and looked at a far distance. Will this change the dynamics between Dane and I? Knowing how conservative she is, she probably hates me now. I don’t know… I hope not though. "Tell me, if you’re one of the best in Martha’s brothel. Why did the Alpha let you go?" She asked out of the blue. Snatching me away from my train of thoughts. I shook my head. “I don’t know.” "So... when will you meet this Alpha, hm?" I sighed then shook my head. "I don't know yet. She hasn’t conta
Ahbaya laughed exaggeratedly at what I said with matching applause. "But it’ll be fun! Don’t you know how to have fun, you stupid wolf!” Now she’s calling me stupid. Perfect. And to that, I drink. "Well, you have a point there, my Queen. Why not kill your army and wait for the useless gammas to reproduce. Oh wait — the birthrate in this Kingdom is declining year by year and a female shifter bearing a hybrid in her womb has a chance of one in a thousand. With all that said and done, creating an army of Hybrid would take another hundred years, how fun is that?!" Was my overly sarcastic answer, but instead of noticing my distasteful answer, she mouthed a ‘Thank you.’ to me. Ahbaya laughed out of nowhere. Her crisp laughter resounded around the room. “I appreciate the sarcasm. And I won’t kill any of my soldiers, not until I find out who conspired and tried to kill me. Not only that — " Ahbaya paused, only to down the shot in front of her. " — the Wolf-less King demands I marry his son.
A hundred scenarios ran in my mind wondering when, how and what would happen if Ahbaya’s father, Alpha Devant had caught us together. And this… this exceeds my imagination in the worst possible way. It was six o'clock in the morning when a loud scream invaded my thoughts. A shrill call for my name, as if the voice behind it trembled in fear. ‘Yael, wake up!’ The loud call jolted me awake. “Rodes?” ‘Is Alpha Ahbaya with you?’ I peered on the body beside me, my mind was in a haze for a few seconds before I answered, “Yes. She’s with me. And she’s asleep.” ‘You need to wake her, now! Alpha Devant is coming!’ =========== ‘I don’t think this is smart, Ahbaya.’ I hissed at her telepathically, looking up at her while she had me tied down on a leash like a dog. I shifted into my wolf. Even Sow hated the idea, but he was smarter than I was. He knew both of us had no choice but to comply. After waking her up, Ahbaya did not waste any time. She commanded Rodes to come to my apart
What happened to the dining room at the Castle of the Hybrids lingered in my mind like a plague. It kept going on and on like a broken record. "Once I find out who you're fucking with --- I'll kill them all! I'll kill them all, Ahbaya! I'll slit their throat in front of you, feast on their flesh and drink their blood!" “Bring your worst, old man!” Ahbaya screamed, transforming into a bear. Her huge feet thumped against the marbled floors. Fear almost paralyzed my entire being as she dragged me out of the Castle. Before we made it out of the door, Alpha Devant grabbed a chair and hurled it towards our direction. "I can sense it, Ahbaya! The shame you’re hiding from me, from this Kingdom! I will kill all of them! I will find them all and make them suffer!” Alpha Devant did not stop there. He even followed Ahbaya, shifting into a bear bigger than her daughter. With every step he took, terror mounted in my heart. If it wasn't for the betas getting in between them, someone's blood woul
Thank you all to those who have read my story. The journey of Ahbaya, Yael and their child will continue on another book. Spoiler alert - - - as of now, Ahbaya and Yael's journey will continue on along with Accashia and Calleb. (My characters from The Alpha's Touch) whether or not they are going to be destined mates. Rivals. It's still on the works! And I plan to include the Demons from the west in the next story in the Alpha's Touch world. This journey of writing about an Alpha Female had always been a Dreak of mine. And I appreciate those who stayed on their journey with me. I'd also like to share some facts about this story. And how grateful I am to my Editor Jamie Maire for helping me with this story. I hope that one day, Alpha female troupe will trend!
"A ring, are you blind?" Was my sarcastic answer. Damn, Yael’s antics are really starting to infect me. Even his cute wits and sarcasm is sinking deep in my bones, skin and is frighteningly entering my brain. Elija Leon laughed and somehow found it humorous. "I know. I’m not blind, you wretched woman." He pointed at the ring. And took a close look at it. "A bonding ring, perhaps? It looks like one." I pursed my lips together. And somehow became conscious. My other hand unconsciously covered my right hand. An act trying to seal my little secret. With him laughing purposely in front of me implied that he already knows. "You’re acting like a foolish virgin. Far from your control freak demeanor. So... Am I correct?" He took a sip from the mug. "How is he? The man you’ve mated with instead of me." Terrified. "Good. We’re good.." Obviously, I lied. I don't want to talk about this. The curse. Isn't it awkward to talk about my problems with your ex husband to be, not to mention, best frien
Years ago the moon slowly moved over the sun along with Alpha Oliva's death. Its curve formed a dark silhouette that crept across the bright face, moment by moment darkening the sky. Across the landscape, rocks and trees seemed to sharpen as they drifted into this odd darkness. The stark edges of the surroundings became more distinct without the blinding glare of daylight or the fuzzy softness of night. Afraid to look upward, the people all walked with their heads down, shrouded in the long shadow of the moon. The blackness crept over the landscape as it crept over them, invariably seeping one by one into their hearts. Ancient memories rose in them, the darkness brought a foreboding that absorbed their spirit. In the darkness their hearts felt a longing, a loneliness they could not escape. Their empty yards and unlatched gates seem so strange to everyone. The screen doors seemed to ache for a carefree spin out into the daylight. The quiet mornings ground slowly into silent afternoons
I'm walking through the hybrid’s castle. Here and there I look at other reminders of how life's gone on. The sculptures, drawings and pictures have changed. I can't find one with me still in it. The only reminder of my existence was my crown. I stop at the trophy shelf on my way through the throne room. All I see are chairs, remembrances of the past and the chamber which the old Alphas, Kings and Queens used to sleep. None with my name on it. Truth be told I never one anything or really achieved anything. Not nearly as depressing. I start to laugh a little. I walk all through the castle with Yael’s hand in mine, the mood's slightly more upbeat than when I left it. Walls painted, new furniture, nicer things. I make my way to the secret room, my room. All my things are gone, now just a lounge. There's a few sparring rooms here and there. The wall is covered in framed portraits and pictures from my mother and father… and that is all.“It is so obvious how much your father is pissed at y
Hope is a fickle thing. A deadly weapon and a dreadful line to hold onto. That used to be my motto. How fucking naive I was back then. When I was a young girl, I thought of the Kingdom of Aensland as hopeless. It was messy, there would always be a bar fight in town. Young omegas ages to five to twelve would be kidnapped, their organs harvested from their still living bodies and thrown away like a sack of potatoes in the ocean. I had been hopeless even though I had led a powerful army of rabid hybrid savages… and the last drop of hope… of faith in me was shattered when I was told I would remain sterile. Barren. Worthless. Now I cannot say that all hope was lost… because the moon goddess placed a bundle of joy inside my womb. Something that I’ve hoped for… had craved for years. Now comes the hard part. My child isn’t even born… and yet my mate and I are willing ti lay our lives on the line to keep her safe once she’s here in this cruel world. “Aren’t you cold?” Yael walked closer to
The Shaman said my child’s fate was already written. And she will die in a horrible death from a demon named Kieran of the West. I've heard that name before... and I thought the six demons from the west were merely fairy tales. “Are you serious?” Was the only thing I could say. The words came out of me again and again as I muttered my disbelief. My hands flew to my hands, my fingers grabbed and pulled my hair — and yet, I felt nothing. Tears fell down on my eyes and I heard the shaman excused himself. “I will be telling your husband.” He muttered, his voice was low and almost apologetic. “I’ll give you some time alone.” The door closed and I was left alone. I pulled my legs close to my chest and hugged it tight. I began to shake, my body trembling as the shaman’s words swirled around my head. And I thought my dreams would be coming true. That I’d be happy with Yael and our little girl.Why would the moon goddess bless me with a child if she’s going to be taken anyway?!“This can’
AHBAYA BLOODMOONTwo weeks passed by so quickly and just like how fast life moves on from one event to another, here I am now trying to forage with my mate in the great forest of the Eastern Kingdom. The ship has been built, everything is ready — we only need food and then we can leave. We had been looking for rootcrops for almost half a day, and yet the woven basket was empty, but Yael was looking on the bright side and was saying it was half full. Blue and Yohan on the otherhand are being watched over by Timothy, Daniella and Melodias. I couldn’t trust them anymore. Not when I managed to learn the truth from Blue. He helped that wreched woman, Hyacinth, escape. It was the desire of his wolf, he said. But I beg to differ. And since Yohan is fateful to Blue, and was practically giving him is all like a god — I had to tie them up, stop them from doing something utterly stupid and condemn them at my Kingdom. I felt like Blue had given Hyacinth Shaldan the last piece of love he had in
HYACINTH SHALDAN It was me, I was the one who planned all of this. I am the mastermind of it all. Before Melodias even knew the truth, I had already plotted things with the Alpha of the Bloodmoon pack, controlled things behind closed doors and wished for Ahbaya Bloodmoon’s downfall because she stole what was mine. Nobody can steal what’s destined to be mine, and now she’s going to have a bitter taste of her own medicine. But will I ever admit doing it? No. I would never. And once Blue finds out, he will probably reject me as his mate, take my child away from me and banish me from the back and proclaim me as a rogue she-wolf. Worst case scenario is once he rejects me… he’s going to steal Ahbaya from Yael, leave that stinky bear and kill Yael. And that’s something that I’ll never allow. Never How did I do it? With some help from my mate, Blue — yes, he is a cheater and stupid but he is one of the few who is loyal to the bones, the ones that I could trust with my life. He is mated
I thought everything we had been working hard for was falling into place, smoothly transitioning just like how we had planned. Ahbaya and I were both responsible for overseeing how the boat was made. The 10 feet wide and 25 feet long sail boat looked pretty solid. With sails made of canvas extracted from the cotton trees of the forest, the room made from the humongous trees. In a few days, we would be able to go back to the Northern Kingdom to hunt down Hyacinth before she could rat us out to Ahbaya’s father. But then Blue must have done something so stupid that even his lover, Yohan almost beat the shit out of him. He shifted into a bear and almost broke every single bone in his lover’s body.The sound of Blue’s bones breaking sounded like firecrackers. And his screams sounded even worse.“Blue — fuck, AHBAYA!” Melodias, the one helping the couple, panicked and ran towards our direction. “Help — Yohan is practically killing Blue!”“What?!” Ahbaya and I exclaimed in unison.Ahbaya, Da
