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
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!!!" A gruffy
"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,
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
