BAELA I had been waiting outside the castle for more than 30 minutes, seeking to see the face of Alpha Abbadon. I had not been allowed in as expected as an Omega but I had my message sent in. I knew I had to be patient if I wanted to speak to Alpha Abbadon or if I wanted our wedding to be held tonight. It was just past sunset and we still had a few more hours before it could no longer be done tonight but I was hopeful it would be done tonight.Alpha Abbadon had left me quite worried during this evening, he had left the Arena straight away after his big announcement and it felt like he was ignoring me. I could have ran and caught up with him but I knew his Beta werewolves would have stopped me from talking to him. He now was the Alpha and I had to know my place.I was fortunate my father and mother had decided to wait behind in the Arena to speak to me. They were supposed to be with the rest of the Beta's guarding the Alpha but they knew how important this night was for me. They caug
BAELAI could barely sleep on the uncomfortable bed I had been assigned as I laid wide awake on it. Not that the comfort of the bed really mattered that much tonight, I would still not have been able to fall asleep had I slept on my comfortable bed in the castle. You see the problem really was with my mind and heart. My mind was fixed at the castle and my heart was heavy, I could only think of one person all through the night - Alpha Abbadon!In my solitude, I had Aria to keep me company. She sang one of her soothing melodies to me, to soothe my aching soul. I appreciated it so much, it worked like magic and kept me sane throughout the night. I hadn't had the time to keep her company of late, the events of my life had been moving so rapidly like the swift currents of a white water.I got out of my bed at first light as I ran out anxiously in hopes to see my father or a messenger from him but there was nobody. Father had not come bearing good news as I had hoped, it meant he still ha
BAELAI was being dragged along the moist grounds of the fields by two Beta werewolves behind Alpha Abbadon. It was by his order I was being dragged. I was his slave, to weak to walk, stricken by shock and grief. I had been a fool to think ours was love at first sight...I had been a fool to believe he ever truly loved me, someone I barely knew! Now he had rejected me, I didn't know what fate I had in-store. I arrived at the Arena grounds with mud all over my boots and clothes, as I was let go."I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE RIDE? - NOW YOU CAN STAND AND WALK ON YOUR FEET". Abbadon said, looking back at me. I swear I could feel his spite for me as he stared at me. I wondered why he hated me so much but whatever reason it was, I was beginning to despise him with everything in me!"COME WITH ME MY SLAVE, I HAVE A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!" He ordered as he climbed the stand, leading up to his throne. I didn't quite feel like obeying him as I remained standing on the spot but I was shoved fro
BAELA I was escorted back to the city as instructed by Alpha Abbadon. It was by an Alpha guard - he was Beta Oliver. Beta Oliver was no stranger to me, he had served in the Alpha guard's for years beside my father and he was one of the few Alpha guards that didn't despise me so much. Maybe that was why my father was comfortable picking him as the one to lead me back to the castle. He walked a few feet ahead of me, giving me the comfort to walk on my own without feeling watched. I had no intention of running away and I think he knew. He probably also figured if I tried to run away I won't go far on my two legs when he could easily transform into his werewolf and catch up with me. We walked in silence for most part of the journey until we were almost at the castle and then he started to whistle. He was playing a tune I knew so well and he was good at it. It felt almost as good as Aria's and I was slightly impressed. He suddenly turned without warning and caught me staring at him.
BAELA Getting to know Beta Oliver wasn't bad after all. I had my misgivings about him and still do but other than that, he was great company. I arrived back in the Arena in good spirit, ready to face anything Alpha Abbadon threw at me. Alpha Abbadon sat on his throne and made me sit on a stool at his feet. It was much better than kneeling on my knees like he had forced me to do before. It probably meant his countenance had started to change towards me. "YOU WORE THE COLOR WHITE AGAIN? I SEE YOU HAVE A POOR SELECTION IN COLOR". "THE COLOUR WHITE IS NOT FOR SLAVES. YOU SHOULD SETTLE FOR SOMETHING DARKER". He teased, not pleased with my color of outfit. I was particularly happy he didn't like my outfit...it made me glad, I didn't want him to like it. I had no pleasure in him admiring me or what I was putting on, I wanted him to despise my outfit so he could send me away from his side for good. I couldn't stand his sight or presence, I didn't want to go on being his slave forever! "A
BAELA It was shortly before sunset when Alpha Abbadon locked me inside of his study in his chamber. He had just finished informing me he would set me free as his slave once I helped him pick a worthy Luna as his bride tonight. Of course, Alpha Abbadon wasn't one to beg - he was the mighty Alpha and he made sure I knew my place and what the consequences of messing up tonight would be! I would experience HELL ON EARTH he called it and I could tell he meant every word! I was now left alone with my thoughts. "How could you be so cruel to me tonight?...How could you force me to pick a bride to replace me?...How could you force me to give out my wedding dress as a gift to your new bride?!" I c asked in despair. "What should I do now, should I help him pick his new bride or should I stand in his way tonight?" I know I still felt something for him but I could not call it love. It certainly wasn't love!...It was probably the left over feeling of it...of me missing what could have been! "
BAELA I remained in the tense atmosphere of the Alpha's court with the crowd murmuring in the background at what I had said. It seemed I shocked them with my suggestion to the Alpha! Alpha Abbadon, for his part, had ordered that the codex of Gaiasania and Gaiamania be brought up to him and he was reading it eagerly within him as he sat on his throne. All his attention was fixed on it that he paid no heed to the murmuring of the Beta werewolves. "I HAVE READ ENOUGH!" He exclaimed, as he slammed closed the book. The noise it created caused the murmuring of the Beta's to seize. All eyes were now fixed on him and what he was about to say. I was slightly nervous inside but I had read the codex for myself and I knew all I had revealed to Alpha Abbadon were true. I watched as the book was collected from him by one of the Alpha guards. "IT IS TRUE WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE JEWEL THAT LIVES FAR AWAY AT THE ENDS OF THE WORLD". "THERE REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL MAIDEN OF AGE, BORE TO THE ALPHA KING
BAELA "I'LL PICK AS A LUNA WHOSOEVER I CHOOSE!" Alpha Abbadon declared to all those in the court. His anger was burning but he had it in his control. "I HAVE NOW MADE MY FINAL DECISION AND IT CANNOT BE CHANGED. I WILL NOT BE LECTURED ON WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT DO BY ANYONE IN THIS PACK - KNOW YOUR PLACES!" "I WILL SET OFF ON A JOURNEY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH TO GET MY NEW BRIDE DAENA RUSSO AND BRING HER HERE". "I WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SELECTED MEMBERS OF THIS PACK AND OF COURSE BY YOU". Alpha Abbadon said, as he looked at me. I was afraid of the prospect of leaving the pack to a scary place called the ends of the earth. My life was not pleasant here in the pack but I knew how difficult it was out there. I wished I didn't have to go with him. "THE PACK CANNOT BE WITHOUT A LEADER IN MY ABSENCE. AS THE SECOND IN LINE - PRIME BETA WARG WILL ASSUME MY ROLE UNTIL I RETURN". Alpha Abbadon said, as he looked in his direction. "I will not fail you, Alpha Abbadon".
