The moon hung low and full in the sky as we approached the pack. The air was thick with the scent of pine needles, and the ground was soft and spongy underfoot. As I pushed my way through the undergrowth, I could hear the distant sounds of laughter and music, and I was curious as to why loud noises were oozing from the direction of the pack. The sound of distant howls also filled the air, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

We were flanked by the Phoenix pack warriors, who almost came to blows with Malik.

Thankfully that warrior saved the day in the nick of time and averted any form of bloodshed. He was also by our side, leading us to his Alpha. The sight of spilled blood, decapitated warriors, and dead bodies always makes me sick in my stomach, and thankfully I didn't have to go through all that again.

As we emerged from the trees, into the pack, my eyes widened in amazement. I saw what could only be described as a werewolf party. Dozens of them were gathered around

    *****CASSANDRA'S POV****It was a sunny afternoon, and it was time for the Stylo-Talleyrand trial. I gallantly walked into the room where the trial was going to take place — It was an unused room in my fortified chamber… and I had them modify the place into a court setting. They were probably expecting me to host the trial at the pack square, in the sight of every member of the pack, as it was the tradition, but at the nick of time, I chose to hold the trial behind closed doors, at a makeshift room inside my fortified chamber. I showed them yet again, that I'm the boss, and I'll always be one step ahead, of all their flimsy plottings. Well, who knows — a shock move like this one, might just tip everyone off scale, and make them dance to my tune. Well, I instructed the warriors to inform the members of the public, who were eager to see me dish out justice to the latest rebels to the Alphahood of this pack, of the change of the location of the trial court. That, their minds should no

    "They were not inciting the pack against the Alpha." The elderly woman continued. "They were just gathering the common folks of this pack, unifying them in one accord, all in a bid to voice out the mundane yearnings of the whole pack.""Which is what??" I growled."To primarily, demand that you, the Alpha, call back out warriors to the pack…""Enough!" I growled, interrupting her at once. "The next witness, please!"The next witness was a young male werewolf, and as the alpha of the pack presiding over the trial of the two werewolves, I listened intently as the people of the pack were called to testify against the accused."My name is Winston Santan, and I have followed these two werewolves because I believe in their cause," he said, his voice strong and unwavering. "They are not rebels. They are trying to make our pack stronger. As of recently, our pack has been vulnerable, and we have been victim to various attacks lately, and Stylo and Talleyrand here were only rallying the common

    The witnesses had given their own testimonies, and now, it was time to hear the final arguments of the defendants. Frustration and anger were vividly etched on their faces. The last set of witnesses must have put them on edge, and I'm absolutely loving it. Zelina delivered yet again.As Talleyrand and Stylo stood before the pack court, their eyes blazed with a fiery intensity that betrayed their simmering anger. "Since you asked us to give our final argument, why is my partner's mouth still bounded in wolfsbane, huh? I'm trying my best to believe that this whole process is gonna be free and fair, but it ain't just playing out like that anymore. So, I request that my partner be allowed free speech, so he'll be able to chime in, his own contribution, and join me in proving our innocence before this court of law." Talleyrand said, his voice low and dangerous. "The rules are the rules," I growled in response, staring straight into his soul, and maintaining my menacing aura. "And when yo

Lusee chimed in, 'Malik is just trying to resoundingly announce his presence, and he's also trying to put the other Alpha on his toes.''...and what if it all resorts to physical confrontation, what will happen to the rest of us, huh? Look around, we are clearly disadvantaged, and this ain't Lourmarin. There's no way we would survive these throngs of werewolves.' I retorted.'Wherever an Alpha wolf goes, he'll always look to instill his Alphaic authority,' Lusee responded, and I couldn't help but chuckle silently at her response.'What the fuck do you mean by Alphaic.' A slight grin escaped my lips. 'Is it even a word??''See, I don't care if it's a word or it ain't a word. And if it ain't a word, then by the order of the great wolf, Lusee it has become a word now…' She chuckled. 'So, an Alpha wolf would always look to instill his Alphaic authority, and sometimes battle for supremacy, but the atmosphere here is jovial, everyone is having f

    My heart sank when I heard Alpha Alexei, repeat that a fellow, named Ubuntu was still out there hunting werelions. 'Did he mean to say that those evil black fraternity folks, that wreaked havoc at the mountain dew pack, and even used their dark powers to hunt Melinda, of blessed memory, and I down, some years ago, are still looking to hunt us yet again???' I mumbled under my breath, my body twitching in fright.'No, it cannot be…' Lusee brimmed. 'I thought Malik smothered all of them that fateful night after their dark powers were extracted from them. Well, maybe this Ubuntu escaped.''Ubuntu???' I bristled in a curious tone. The name rang repeatedly in my head. 'I'm familiar with this name… Oh, yeah. I remember now….' I squealed. "Ubuntu, she was my friend back at Ridgewood pack, and she helped me escape the dungeon after I mistakenly murdered my father. She perfectly fits the description of the werelion hunter, because while I was still at Ridgewood pack, she wielded superior dark

    At the Alpha's command, they brought the innocent albinos outside of their cage. We watched in horror as they hoisted them up over the bonfire with a pulley-like machine, and their pale bodies writhing in pain. The pack howled in agreement, their voices blending into a chilling chorus that echoed through the clearing. I watched, mesmerized by the primal energy that surged through the pack. They were like a force of nature, a wild and untamed beast that could not be tamed or cowed. The albinos shrank back, their eyes darting nervously from side to side as they searched for a way to escape. I felt a sense of unease and disgust, as I watched the carnage unfold before me. This was not justice; this was an act of cruelty. These albinos were not our enemies; they were innocent and posed no threat to them. But who was I to question the ways of Alpha Alexei? What in the world can I do to him? In a world where dissent was not tolerated, I didn't want to become the next victim of their wrath.

    Alpha Alexei smirked as he watched Alpha Malik remove his clothes, revealing his muscular physique. He was amused at how easily he had provoked Malik into accepting the challenge."Well, well, well. Looks like we've got ourselves a fighter," he said, taunting Malik. "But let me warn you, this won't be a regular fight. This is a fight to the death."The pack erupted in excitement, cheering and shouting as they circled around the two alphas. The tension was palpable as the two alphas faced off, their eyes locked in a deadly stare.Malik's breathing was heavy and his fists were clenched tightly, ready for the fight. His eyes were full of fury, and he looked like a raging bull. On the other hand, Alexei was calm and composed, with a sly grin on his face.We were far away from the pack square, where the fight was about to unfold.The Phoenix pack warriors suddenly came, marching towards us and they wanted to move us to the Frontline of the battle.At first, we were reluctant, but they thre

    As the two Alphas fought, the rest of the pack watched with a mix of awe and fear. They probably had never seen a battle like this before, with two such powerful and skilled fighters pitted against each other.Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, Malik found a moment of clarity. He closed his eyes and focused, relying solely on his other senses. At that moment, he saw everything, I knew that, he heard the beat of Alexei's heart, felt the tremble of his muscles, and smelled the fear on his breath. With a fierce growl, Malik shifted to his human form, and he launched himself at Alexe. He poked Alexei's eyes with his claws, piercing deep into his claws, and almost ripping out the eyes from their sockets.Alpha Alexei shifted back to his human form, and he felt the sharp pain as the blind alpha poked him in the eyes, rendering him completely blind. He cried out in agony, and his pack fell silent in horror as they witnessed their leader being incapacitated in such a brutal manner.I

    "Malik!!! Malik!!!" I yelled, trying to dissuade him from attacking the Lakewood warriors all by himself, but he wouldn't listen. I didn't want him to get hit again, but it seemed like he was utterly enraged, and nothing would stop him, from releasing all rage he had bottled up inside of him."Everyone, get into the pack, and burn it to the ground…" I could hear Menelik's voice faintly, from the distance, even amidst the heavy battle cries. "And Hammy. Finish her now!!!" He growled.Explosions ripped through the air at once, reverberating with a bone-shaking intensity, sending shockwaves through the pack. The deafening blasts echoed off the surrounding trees, creating an atmosphere of chaos and danger.The battle raged on, explosions continuing to rock the surroundings, I could still see arrows flying all over the place. And as I was still surveilling my surroundings, breathing haphazardly, an explosive was thrown, at where I stood, and I instinctively picked it up, and threw it back,

    Malik and Melinda chose to be put in chains and cuffs, ready to be taken back to Alpha Menelik, against my wish, and I had no choice but to lead them out of the pack, to the battlefront. I walked behind them, as we neared Lakewood's pack camp outside our pack.There were several tents in their camp, but there was one big tent at the center, and I automatically assumed that that would be their Alpha tent. So we sauntered in that direction.And as we got closer to the tent, the Lakewood pack warriors trooped out of their tents, and the gazes of some, who were parading the pack, stretching as far as the eyes could see, shifted to us as we sauntered forwards. Some of them were jeering and making mocking gestures towards us, as we walked, but that didn't faze me one bit, I was only focused on the task at hand.A number of the Lakewood pack warriors formed a wall outside the big tent, with each of them wielding heavy metal weapons, pointing them in our direction."Stop there!!!"

    Ramsey and I were joined by the other Alphas in the bunker.The other Alphas made us know, that the Lakewood warriors had surrounded the pack, and they didn't give chase, nor did they pursue our own warriors into the pack as we retreated. The Lakewood warriors were only standing round, successfully putting the pack under siege.And that made me question their motive — because if the Lakewood warriors are truly here for battle, why can't they just waltz in, and finish the battle? Because it was crystal-clear that we were losing the war to the Lakewood pack, and it was glaring, even to the blind, that we were on the back foot, even in our own backyard.I was fed up and frustrated, and it scared me to the bone, to learn that the face of battle, that the face of warfare had evolved, beyond fists, claws, and fangs, to now explosives, and speedily moving silver bullets.The warriors reported, that with these new innovations, the Lakewood pack outmatched and outwitted them, annihilating and

    "Ok. The pack is all clear now!" Melinda breathed, her heart pounding in her chest.Melinda, Ramsey, and I stood in the middle of the pack, gazing round at the empty structures, save for the scanty warriors who were holding their grounds inside of the pack. Melinda, Ramsey, and I had escorted the young ones, and the women, who couldn't volunteer in the battle to safety. "Ok I'm going to join the warriors in battle…" Melinda let out a low growl, her eyes booming with intensity. "I have to go, even the scores…""No…" I boomed with authority, holding her by her hand. "You ain't going, nowhere, Mel. I don't want them to capture you again, or even turn you against us, as they did to Kieran…""I gotta go, Mom." Melinda retorted, her face entwined with worry. "I know Kieran would surely be out there. And um, I don't know, I have to…""But you said, he was all out of control, and he doesn't recognize us anymore…" I said in a curious tone, my voice laced with sorrow, as I gazed intently at Me

    The shadow warriors sprung up to action at the nick of time, and they caught Cassandra in the air, just before she could attack Ubuntu. They knocked her to the ground, they cuffed her hands, and they made her sit back in her seat.The hall was booming with silent tension, and the rest of the congress watched in silence, as their Alpha was being disgraced by her own warriors."Y'all see, she's a nuisance…" Ubuntu smirked. "But this is a serious allegation, Ubuntu." Adonis Graham chimed in. He was the Alpha of Woodbury Pack."He's lying…" Cassandra yelled, her face crumpled and distorted with rage. "Tell them, he's lying, Calista.""His words are true…" I muttered. "I can confirm that it's true. Alpha Cassandra herself, narrated the true version of the cause of the destruction of Ridgewood to both Ubuntu and I before she tried to murder Ubuntu...""What!" Cassandra bellowed.

For a second, she wondered why he won't even answer to Kieran anymore, but Hammy. Melinda was so shocked, that she couldn't even retaliate to Hammy's brutal blows.The Lakewood warriors aimed guns at Melinda but they couldn't shoot, because of the crowd, at the square. The scene was chaotic, and the warriors were trying to take control of the situation.

    *****AUTHOR'S POV*****The whole of Lakewood Pack stood at the pack square, all gloating and murmuring amongst themselves, as they stared down at the helpless Malik, with some pups even throwing stones and specks of dirt, at Malik who was kept in a silver cage fitted to the center of the stage for all to see.Malik was weak and almost powerless. He had withstood vicious attacks and beatdown, from Menelik's puppets, all week long since he arrived at Lakewood pack. They didn't stop the assault for a minute, save for the occasional moments, they'd stop to force some food and water down Malik's throat. Malik often rejected the food, and sometimes he'd try to summon his fangs to stop the warriors, but the warriors had to find a way to boycott Malik's defense. They had to use any means possible to see to it that Malik was fed, that he ate something, for it was all on Menelik's order.Menelik also made sure Malik was bruised, battered, tortured, and manhandled at Lebron Dave's abandoned c

So, you ought to know Malik's whereabouts; the fellow question is the Alpha's brother, and I wanna know, whether he's still…""Ooh, that's even who you're talking about…" He chuckled, and sat up slightly, looking me dead in the eyes. I was amazed at how his once fearful guise suddenly turned to a confident one, in a couple of seconds. "Well, he is on the stage at the square right now, and he's about to be executed… just like you are…" he groaned. And the next thing I saw was the bruised guard suddenly raising a gun at me. And before I knew it, he pulled the trigger, and a bullet came running at my head, but I dodged it, at the nick of time."Waoh," I exclaimed.
