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".
BAELA It is a brand new day at the Aurora clan pack but this was unlike every other day. This was the penultimate day before I left the pack for the ends of the world. I still hadn't figured out what MEANINGFUL GIFT I was going to give to Daena Russo - the Alpha King's daughter but luckily for me I had someone I could ask for help. Alpha Abbadon had left me to wander the castle in search of the answer and had placed me under the watch of Beta Oliver. I was glad he chose Beta Oliver, he was the other person I could talk to. My parents were with Alpha Abbadon as he discussed his travel plans. "Baela, you really are in a lot of trouble!" Beta Oliver exclaimed. "You are lucky you are leaving the pack tomorrow otherwise the Beta females would have had a piece of you after that stunt you pulled off yesterday!" I could see he had been giving me the eye since I stepped out of my room. I guess this was what he had in his mind along. "Really?!" I asked, trying to sound surprised. "Yes! T
BAELA The sunset tonight was not as beautiful as I had hoped. The sun had set but I was still yet to figure out a gift that was meaningful that I could bring for Daena Russo. Alpha Abbadon had not demanded to see me since today but now he had summoned us to come to the Alpha's court for his big announcement. As we walked in, I could see the Beta's were not excited as they wore a grim look on their faces. I was still with Beta Oliver as we spent the day together inside and within the walls of the castle. I was not permitted to go outside the walls unless I was accompanied by Alpha Abbadon. I was led to the front of the Alpha's court where I could see Alpha Abbadon seated on his throne and he could see me. He looked at me briefly before getting up to address the Beta's. "I AM GLAD YOU ALL COULD MAKE IT HERE TONIGHT". "AS YOU ARE ALL FULLY AWARE, I WILL BE LEAVING THE PACK TOMORROW TO JOURNEY TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD FOR MY BRIDE". "I PROMISE TO RETURN WITH DAENA RUSSO BACK TO THE P
BAELAThe chirping of birds could be heard from the trees overheard as I made my way through the woods. It was just past dawn and the morning dew could still be seen resting on the grasses on the ground. The cool breeze was sweet to perceive as it touched my delicate skin, soothing it. It was in sharp contrast with how rough my skin had been handled the night before and I had a scar on my arm to show for it.My scar reminded me of him, of Alpha Abbadon. As we set off on our journey through the great woods of Gaiasania, this scar reminded me that this was not a leisure trip of the great woods of Gaiasania, Alpha Abbadon had done this to me and we were on our way to the ends of the world. I looked straight ahead at him as he walked in front of the rest of the pack majestically. He ordered the Beta's who were with him to bring some more gifts for his new bride - gold, silver and precious stones. They were carried in a special backpack by one of the Beta's that accompanied us, it was to
