And it's a wrap. Thank you all, for riding with me. I guess it was fun. See you soon.
Alpha Barak sat on a chair in his office, and he summoned his first son, Menelik. Menelik burst into the Alpha’s office, and he yelped, “Father, you called me.” “Menelik, I want you to lead the warriors, to capture Zora. Since he’s escaped from us, we’ve gone all out in search of him, but he has always slipped from us.” Alpha Barak stated.“Oh, Zora the werelion.” Menelik heaved a sigh, took a deep breath, and sat on a chair afterward.“Yes. Zora. I thought he’ll be a piece of cake for our warriors, that’s why I had the Gamma, Mangol, and a small group of warriors go after him, but they were unsuccessful. We even lost some warriors in the process, but I am trusting you to capture him, either dead or alive. Bring an end to his life, and that of his seeds, before he takes over our world with his seeds.” Alpha Barak stated with authority. “I will hold the fort, back here at home. I would have led the warriors myself, but I have important business to attend to.”“I’m at your service, Alp
Usually, after I was done with cooking for the Alpha’s family, I would dish the food unto the plates, and I would have to stand by whenever Alpha Barak and his family members were eating, and until the last person on the table finished their meal, I mustn’t leave the dining room. Menelik was a slow eater, I guess he often deliberately eat slowly, to make sure I wait on him for some extra minutes. It was crystal clear that Menelik was my biggest adversary.When he was finally done with his meal, I heaved a sigh of relief and I started to pack the used plates and utensils onto a tray. Menelik was still seating on the dining table, slowly sipping water from the glass cup.While I proceeded to the kitchen, I gaped at Menelik's face. His face was unreadable, but it seemed that he was up to something, I just couldn't pinpoint my speculation.While I was still staring at his face, I missed my steps, and in a split second, I tripped and fell. The ceramic plates that I was carrying, also fell
I was caressing my cheeks with an ointment that the nurse gave me. The ointment helped suppress the dreadful pains, that was oozing out of my head. Overall, my mind was at peace, and I loved it. I just wanted to enjoy my little euphoria while it lasts.For the first time in a long time, I was far away from the Alpha’s chamber, and Menelik’s stiff face, which haunts me just by looking at it. I’ve learned my lesson the hard way, and henceforth, I’ll try my best not to look at his face, at all. “Hey, Calista.” I heard a strong masculine voice behind me, and I immediately hid my ointment. I had forgotten that I was still in the hospital. I looked around, and I didn’t see anyone. “Hey, I want you, in the Alpha’s chamber, right now. I give you 30 seconds to get here.” When I heard the voice again, I realized that it was Menelik that just spoken to me. He mindlinked me, and he wanted me to get to the Alpha’s chamber, in thirty seconds. It was a long way out for goodness sake, I don’t know
“This salmon is simply divine,” said one guest, Zack Hogan, a business-oriented werewolf. He was responsible for building structures in our pack and beyond. “Where did you find such a talented chef?”“I have my sources,” Menelik replied with a wink, “But on a serious note, I am very lucky to have such talented individuals in our pack. They always go above and beyond to make sure our events are a success.”I overheard the conversation, and I was slightly annoyed, because why can’t he just acknowledge me as the talented chef, whose tears and pain delivered this wonderful meal?As the dinner progressed, the guests were treated to a variety of entertainment, including live music and performances by talented members of the pack. The atmosphere was electric, and everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time.“I know we’re all having a good time tonight, but I want to take a moment to discuss something of high importance with you all,” The Beta, Ras Tafari said, “As you all know, the Lakewood
I ran up the stairs as fast as my legs could carry me, panting and gasping for air. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I could feel the adrenaline gushing through my veins. I had no idea where I was going, I just knew that I had to get far away from Menelik.I let my emotions take over me, and until I heard a loud growl from afar, it didn’t even occur to me that I had just carried out a fool’s errand. Bursting out of Menelik’s presence with anger, was a risky move on its own, not to even mention disobeying his order. Although Menelik was not yet the Alpha, he commanded respect from everyone in the pack; no one dared to defy his orders. When I heard a loud growl from afar off, it dawned on me, that I had tickled Menelik’s fury, and I was in great trouble. I was frightened, but I tried to suppress the growing sensation of panic. At this point, there was no going back for me. It’s left to destiny to dictate my fate. I just kept running around haphazardly in the pack house, looking f
The moment, the warriors laid my body to rest in the sacred forest, a grand staircase appeared before me, and I automatically ascended upwards. It wasn’t a matter of choice, I guess this was my new chapter.The stairs led, to the top of the biggest structure that I have ever seen in my life. The structure was atop the moon. I was stopped at the entrance and I couldn’t move any further. I couldn’t help but exude awe and astonishment as I made my way up the stairs. I had never seen anything like the edifice in front of me. As far as the eye could see, it appeared to be a ship that has no end.As I got closer to the enormous building, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was embellished with elaborate carvings and decorations, and it appeared to be made of some kind of glittering metal. The ship turned out to be a building of some type, and I gazed up at the imposing edifice, wondering what secrets it hid behind its walls.I was still gawking at the enormous structure, and I failed t
I tried to open my eyes, and I was still hit by an array of lights, then I instinctively shut my eyes in an effort to drown out the overwhelming stimuli. But I soon realized, from the inside of my eyelid, that there has been a change in my environment. I inhaled deeply before slowly opening my eyes once more, and I was able to concentrate this time around. Then, I found myself at the Lakewood pack clinic. I was surprised to find myself here, in the same room, where care was administered to me when Menelik disfigured my face with ceramic shards, but the difference between now and then, was that I didn’t feel any pain on any part of my face or my body. I could recognize the antiseptic odor and the pristine white walls in the clinic, but I was unable to recall how I had arrived there.Then, it dawned on me, that I have been granted a second chance at life by the moon goddess. I was with the moon goddess one moment, and the other I was back at the Lakewood pack, to continue living my mise
LATER THAT NIGHTMalik is tall, handsome, and also haughty-looking at the same time, his angular face seemed designed to intimidate, and as much as you’d have guessed, he was ripped and well-built with muscles bulging out of every possible part of his body. Scanning him from head to toe, his probable height, 6’2, isn’t a far cry from mine, as I’m, a 5’5. His big blue eyes seem to pierce my soul every time, he stares at me. The party was over, and I accompanied him to his room. “Wow, such a great performance you pulled up, out there. The food was excellent and majestic. I love how you produce such outstanding results, under pressure. You know, the food, was the main reason why the whole place was emitting contagious energy. I actually tried my best to keep my composure, and not burst up with excitement like the other wolves.” Malik lauded. “Ha-ha,” I giggled. “That’s funny, but thanks for the compliments, though. It truly was a great time out there, and I won’t lie, I did not look at
