THE BROKEN ALPHA.
“Yes father, I'm going to get mother now, yes I'm taking her to the mall, yes I'll get her whatever she wants.”“How many times have I told you to stop spoiling her, she's picking up an attitude that when I tell her no, she runs to you. Stubborn woman.” father said,“Should I tell her what you've said?”“Now why would you go and do that son, do you like seeing me miserable.”? We both laughed over his comment before hanging up.I got into my car and headed for the hospital to get my mother from her check-up. She hasn't been feeling too well these past couple of days and feared it was something bad.She's standing at the hospital entrance waiting for me with a white envelope in her hands, smiling. I stopped and opened the passenger's door for her to get in, then headed to the mall.“What did the doctor say?”“Guess,” she replied,“You're not aging.” She hit me with the envelope across my head and I laughed.“I'm pregnant.”“You're lying.”“No, look, see a baby.”“I have a brother.”“No sister.” I swirled on the road for a second,“Are you trying to get us killed, keep your hands on the wheel?”“ Congrats mom, but aren't you and dad a little too ancient…”“Watch your mouth, boy.”I laughed loudly as we pulled into the mall's parking lot, I parked, and we entered through the group of paparazzi standing outside, it's like this almost every day.We have to force our way through groups of people flashing camera lights just to get to where we want to go, to go to the mall.She's dragging me around with her, giving me bags upon bags, and when I tell her she doesn't need something, she whines and carries on about why she needs it.I'm starting to think dad was right. I'm enabling her bad habits, but how could I not, she's so cute. Once she's done grabbing everything she can, we head to the food court to have a meal.Her favorite meal is; a burger and fries with coleslaw.I watch as she eats to her heart's content and as she drinks a mouthful of soda, smiling, my mother is the most beautiful woman to walk this earth.She's perfect, kind, friendly, silly, and most of all a handful, but that would never change the way I feel about her and one day I hope I find a mate just like her. Take away the smart mouth and the wistful comments, and I’ll be happy.After eating, we use the back entrance and head to the parking lot, get into the car and head home. The drive home is silent, not a bad silence, a good one, a happy silence.Mother is smiling, and I know she's excited about giving dad the good news,“DANGER.” Morpheus my wolf screamed,BANG…The moving truck came out of nowhere. Hitting the passenger siding of the car, sending us flying onto the other side of the road. Mom was screaming as we flew midair, and I was holding on to hope and faith that we’d make it out alive.BLACK…Voices, that's what I heard as I opened my eyes, everything was a blur at first until I saw my mother lying on the floor bloody, her white dress stained with blood.I tried standing but couldn't, I couldn't feel my legs, so I dragged myself over to her screaming as the broken glass pierced my hands but not stopping, not until I reached her.“Mom, mom…”She wasn't answering, she didn't answer, her eyes were closed, and she wasn't breathing…“Ma, Mama, stop being so stubborn and answer me…please.”Nothing, not a sound, escaped her lips…“Mom wake up, please you have to breathe, so my sister could live, mom, breathe.”NOTHING…I heard a car door close, and then I heard my father scream… No not a scream, a raw of an alpha who just lost his mate, he came stomping through the class on the floor until he reached us and fell to his feet.“Pudding…. Wake up please.”“I'm sorry, I'll never call you stubborn again.”“Please wake up, I'll give you anything you ask for.”“I'll stop scolding Alonso for spoiling you.”“Just please wake up.”I saw a white piece of paper flying near my hands. It was the photos of the ultrasound. I took it and stocked it into my jacket pocket, hoping father never saw it because if he did, he would tear the city into pieces.“Are you ok, son…”“I can't feel my legs Dad”, that's when it hit me, I couldn't feel my legs it was as if they went dead.I woke up in the pack hospital the next day whilst Doctor Williams was taking my vitals, he looked at me a little confused.“Alonso, I know it's too soon to ask this, but would you mind shifting for me.”?At first, I thought he was out of his mind, nuts, yes that's the right word, but we werewolves can heal ourselves so that may be why he asked.I nodded and my beta and gamma whom I didn't even notice were in the room with me placed me on the floor. Shifted, but nothing happened. My back legs just lay there not moving, even when I touch them or Dr. Williams would roughly pass his pen along my leg, I felt nothing.I looked at myself and cried, harder than I'd ever cried in my entire life. Not only did I lose my ability to walk, but I also lost the woman I loved the most.******Mom's burial came along quickly, father arranged everything just the way he knew she’d want it, and many people came to give their condolences and say their goodbyes to a dear friend and Luna.My Beta and Gamma had to help me get from point A to point B and that didn't sit right with me, as he pushed me up to my mother's casket I listened as everyone whispered about my situation.Some even expressed how much they pitied me and my situation, and that blew a fuse in my brain, I don't want any help from anyone who wasn't my father. I stripped my Beta and Gamma of their title, and they were free to service who they wanted to as long as it wasn't me.And after my mate rejected me, I decided to take matters into my hands and live a life away from the outside world, to remain indoors.Over the next couple of years, I remained alone, lost, and sitting in my emotions.Morpheus tried his best to cheer me up, but it never did any good because there are days he'd also regret being my wolf.“Hi, I’m Morpheus.”His voice is deep, his eyes are black and gold, and his fur is brown with streaks of black and shiny. I couldn’t look away, no matter how much I wanted to, no matter how much my insides begged me to because I know Alonso wouldn't want me to see him this way.“I’m…. Annabella, it's a pleasure to meet you.”“Hello Annie, can I call you that?”“Am… sure.“How are you, how are you enjoying your stay and how is my human friend treating you?”“It’s better than being in the house I used to live in, and as for Alonso, he’s treating me fine… I guess.”“Do you have a wolf, Annie?”“No, I don’t have one.”“Why were you born without one?”“No, I just don’t…. We don’t have a connection the way you and Alonso do.”“Ohh… We don’t have a connection, he let go of me a long time ago… I usually come out when he’s asleep.”“Really…”Yes…”“Let this be our little secret, he’s a little… Grumpy.”“Let this be our little secret, I know.”We both laugh, but I laughed more than him because
ALONSO.I could tell she was uncomfortable before I even get the chance to say what I wanted to say, what do I want to say I'm usually not the one left speechless but today at this very moment I am.But why did she do that, why did she let me touch her does she consider me to be a husband, or did she do it out of pity? Either way, she shouldn't have done it, or should she have I'm confused.“Go back to bed, it's nothing.”She nodded and crawled back under the blanket and drifted off to sleep leaving me awake looking out at the black and white sky, as much as I would rather not admit it having someone laying next to me in bed is a great feeling, even if she was forced to do it.I turn to look at her and smile, she's a nice person a little weird but nice it's a shame she's stuck by my side, I will have to come up with some sort of plan when the time is right to get her out of this marriage and set her free to live a life she deserves.The rough winds become subtle, and I slowly drif
She has Annabella by the arm pulling the ring from her finger as Annabella tries pulling away, Morpheus starts stirring on the inside which was strange because I haven't heard from him in a long time.”what are you doing?” father asked Mariah,“I just want to have a look, that's all.” Mariah smiled,“Let go of the poor girl, Mariah. She's uncomfortable with you touching her.”“Are you uncomfortable with me touching you, Annabella?” Mariah asked,“Mariah let her hand go and get ready for the Luna meeting.”Mariah storms off and father storms off behind her, they are both arguing with each other, Annabella composes herself and gathers the rest of the dishes from the dining room before washing them up.I offered to dry, but she denied the offer and asked if I'd like a cup of coffee instead. I would never decline a cup of coffee, seeing that's the first woman I ever fall in love with.She turns on the television and I watch it from the kitchen, waiting for her to ready the cup of coffee an
Ohh.”She runs off the bed and into the bathroom, returning with the ring in her finger.“I took it off because it started slipping off when the rain water wet my hands.”“I'll take it to be resized, and why did you take so long?”“Christen didn't want me to have the coffee, so I waited around to see if Derick would show up.”“Dereck?”“Yes, Dereck, I grew up with him in the orphanage.”“How did you know he worked there?”“A while back, well before I came here. He came to the house when my parents left and bought me some dumplings.”“Dumplings?”“Yeah, he told me he got a job with the kitchen and if I needed anything to look for him, he'd give it to me.”“Do you like dumplings?”“Yes, he makes the most amazing chicken dumplings.”“I bet he does.” I roll my eyes at her and pull the blanket up to her neck.“You said Christen didn't want to give you the coffee.”“Yes, Christen Walker.”“I thought she left the pack?”“Dereck said the Alpha she left to be with found his mate, and christen
“Is everything ready, the bus and the warriors?” I ask my father.“Yes Alonso, everything is ready. Now where is Annabella? She hasn't come down yet.” he asks.Just as I was about to shout for her, she came running down the stairs, she’s in her signature look with a pair of sandals. The only pair she has.Occasionally, I get so lost with the passing time, mainly because we spend most of our time at home. I forget she doesn't have much clothing.But what I can never forget is how she dresses, like an old woman. Luckily, I picked up my long black overcoat.She walks over to me and I hand her the can't, she takes it and puts it in no questions ask and watches as the children and warriors get onto the bus.Our pack has over forty orphans that are between the ages of ten and sixteen, the other forty are close to eighteen. Today I'm taking the forty under 18 and a couple of warriors with us. As we are one of the wealthiest packs we attract attention from unwanted people, it's better to be
ANNABELLAI woke up in the darkness with a thriving headache, the room smells old and feels heavy. As if there is something in the air, it's hard to hear anything. No birds, no voices, so I came to the conclusion that I'm inside a room.My heart starts beating through my chest and my mind starts racing as the thought settles. Where the hell am I? And why the hell does my head hurt?I try moving my arms and legs but nothing, the sound of chains is the only thing I hear, taking my time to recollect my thoughts I close my eyes.But nothing comes to mind, I can't remember anything.“I'm sorry this wasn't supposed to happen, this wasn't supposed to happen.”A strong male voice came from across the room, taking me surprised,“Can you see me because I can't see you? What is your name?”“My name isn't necessary, what's important is you getting out of here.” he says.“Here, where am I? How do I get out of here?”“You're in her dungeon.” a pair of golden eyes suddenly steers at me.“I'm in whos
She can't remember anything that happened, she can't remember turning, she can't remember her wolf, she can't remember being taken. All she remembers is going to the mall and backing out in the bathroom.Father is pacing the room like a madman as the doctor looks over Annabella, she's awake and just laying there steering at the roof. Her eyes aren't moving and if you don't look at her hard enough you’ll think she isn't breathing. Many of the warriors are still outside around and about looking for any clues whatsoever of what happened, but so far, they have come up empty-handed.Mariah is walking around with that stupid smile on her face, expressing how concerned she is for her daughter-in-law. Once the pack doctor is finished looking at her over, he packs his tools away into his bag and then inserts a needle into her hand and connects a bag of drops to the iv needle.“She’s in shock, just give her something and she will be her normal self again.”“The bruises on her body…” I ask.“I
It’s been about a week since the accident, an accident I can’t seem to remember, no matter how hard I try. Today I woke up with a headache. It's been this way for about a week now.I’ve been having some strange dreams lately. One minute I see a woman with long beautiful platinum hair and an ugly creature running behind her. Or a dream of a little girl being blessed by five little fairies in a forest.The dreams I keep to myself and try to piece them together on my own, but it’s not working, I want to tell Alonso about it, but he’s been all over the place lately.One day, he’s in a great mood, we’d sit and talk for hours, watch a movie or sit outside on the porch. He doesn't want me out of the house unless his father comes along. He says he doesn’t trust the warriors.Then he’s hiding most of the time talking to someone on the phone about goddess knows what. But that doesn’t matter because I have my Emily with me. When Alonso told me Hendrix came by to see me and dropped her off, I bur
Alonso.Dad stood to his feet just in time as the howls of wolves were heard all throughout the forest.They are coming, I turned to Annabella and she started shouting at the warriors to assume their positions. Thank goodness the women and children had been placed in the safe spot because that would have a tragic end.Everyone is ready,even though they are nervous there ready because today we don't only fight for ourselves we fight for our kind.A loud swosh was heard over us and then bodies began to drop to the floor like rain drops, some are ours some are there's.Then like a war in ancient times they came running from the forest looking like ants towards us. I looked at Annabella, my father, beta and gamma and then we ran in without thinking.Spells are being cast from above heads as the ground swallows some and vines from trees pull some deep into the forest.You could hear them scream grunt and moan each life that was connected to me ripping from my chest as they leave the ear
Alonso The time is upon us. I can feel it, it's in the sky. The clouds are darkening and every now and again thunder raoars and lighting flashes. That's why im taking Annabella on one last date before it all happens. I just want to spend one last night with my wife before everything goes to shit. I set up a picnic dinner under the moon light in a little town about an hour away from our pack. Before leaving I how empty the grounds are I guess everyone is doing the exact same thing. Annabella is meeting me there after her meeting with the Luna of a nearby pack. While we stand waiting for her at the front entrance Moroheous and I continue our conversation we were having earlier on. As her husband and protector we have come to a decision that we wouldn't out her life in danger, no matter what happens she has to live. A short while after we see her coming walking towards us, she's wearing a link strapless dress and a hair of black ballerina flats. Her hair is in her usual messy bun w
On days like this, I'm glad my brother wasn't an egotistical maniac that thinks the world revolves around him. I'm glad he's humble even when he shouldn't be.Standing alongside him I could smell the worry rolling off his shoulders, he's not afraid, just worried about how Kane is going to take the news that we wouldn't be joining his cult.Besides Kane being crazy, his warriors are ruthless. They fight not to protect but to inflict pain, harm and to kill for enjoyment. They are maniacs just like him.Two minutes later our hidden warriors signal that Kane and his followers have arrived and just like any egotistical Alpha he arrived in the best. A freaking Posh while his men sit behind in broken-down old trucks dressed in suits."Lydon, it's so nice to see you again."He plasters that dirty smirk on his face and stretches to hug my brother, Lydon's body tenses but he returns the hug with a tight squeeze."Liam, it's nice to see you again."Kane reaches his hand for me to shake but inste
AnnabellaMy dreams were blank except for the one that woke me up, I couldn't bear to see them. I couldn't bear to see how they died. How the children died.I woke up next to Alonso, he was holding my hands soothing me, helping me come to but that wasn't enough. It was so much the pain I could feel it running through me like live wire.But just like always he found a way to make it better and helped me come to terms with the new me. The hair, marks and eyes are something totally new.I haven't left the house since i didn't want to because i was afraid of how people would watch me, how they would react but i guess faith had something else in store.Loud noises came from outside then a magnetic pull was felt throughout the house and I saw my father all beaten and bruised laying in the middle of the living room calling for me.I stand and watch as he's rushed to the pack's hospital, his breathing soft as he lays there with his eyes closed. I want to cry, shed a tear but I hardly know the
THE WEREWOLF COUNCIL LOCATED SOMEWHERE IN PARIS.Cody, head of the disaster department.Papers kept coming through our fax machines, hundreds of them and all are explaining a number of casualties all of which we knew would happen one day but didn't expect it to happen that soon.I sit in my office rushing through file after file of hundreds of packs that went from thousands to hundreds and then to a couple in a short time. Minutes, no not minutes seconds.That's all it took Ivy seconds, seconds to have our kind, the most powerful creatures on the face of the earth, fall completely in mayhem. Our Lycan king went missing first then his daughter and we were left hopeless and hopeful that this day wouldn't come. But it looks like hope wasn't enough.Dropping the file on the table , I passed my hand across my face and I could feel the freshly growing hair from my jawline coming back as a reminder that I haven't been at home in days. My head pops up outside my office as I watch my employees
Being away from Annabella this long is killing me, waiting for her to wake up is killing me. But not knowing if she would wake up is killing me more.We have more and more pack members, survivors coming to our pack. Many are still in a state of shock, many lost and many broken. Today we have a meeting with the new elected Alphas of the 10 (Ten) packs that came our way after their packs were demolished. Even though they are safe here it wouldn't be fine for long, just like most packs are under attack we will be also. Soon, very soon. My father seems to be doing well which is surprising, because a couple of days ago he wasn’t doing very good. Today we are both heading to where most packs have set up camp,our pack is big but not big enough to hold everyone. We have the women and children in houses and the men in tents, sadly a lot of wolves that came with wounds did not survive, some of them can't sleep because of the constant nightmares. To make matters worse we are about to ask th
IvyI’ve sat back for too long, too long. They have done me dirty, tarnished my name and the man I loved since I’ve known myself didn’t choose me. He chose a dirty maid.Love is an evil thing, the feeling itself will either make you or break you, in my case it twisted my insides and melted my heart leaving an empty casing full of hate.Ivy, name as deadly as poison as bitter as the plant and as pretty as a person outside appearance that’s what I am. And that’s what they turned me into. A cold heart, selfless, she’ll. That's why they all have to burn, they have to suffer for the deeds of their precious king. They have to pay.I sit back on my broom and watch as my warriors wreck havoc on a very large pack in the north of America. Hillside pack.My warriors are strong, strong enough to take on anything and anyone that comes their way. But I’m not sure if they're ready to face the precious princess Willow.Every great warrior has a weakness, for me it’s my people for Travis the Alpha of
Alonso. Father and Mother told me this story a long time ago.About a wolf coming to save our kind from the most ruthless creatures to walk the earth. What I didn’t expect was for that wolf to be my wife. My wife that came here was broken, lost, and confused. But also wholesome, loving, and the kindest soul anyone can lay eyes on. Annabella, I sit on the chair beside her bed and take her tiny hand in mine. She looks so lifeless laying on that bed. The only thing giving any sign of life is the beeping on the monitor across the room.I woke up a couple of days ago, Annabella however did not. Father says it’s not her time yet, just be patient. When the time is right she’ll wake up.A knock on the door draws my attention from her perfect face. Aaron informs me that my father would like to see me in his office. Looking back at Annabella I sigh… stand to my feet and place a kiss on her forehead. Hendrix returns to the bedroom and sits in the same seat I sat on. After I woke up and fou
Cedric.It’s not every day a man faces death in the face. Some meet him unexpectedly and others meet him willingly, I met him already knowing. The truth about the matter is Annabella wasn’t just born a mere human, she was placed here for a reason.And that reason is to take down the grand witch that threatens our kind. I remember when I first met her. She was so little and held the fate of our people in her hands. She was brought to our pack by her father, a Lycan that was deceived by a stealer and loved another. Once Annabella was born, Ivy felt defeated. She couldn’t stand losing the bond that we werewolves have, so she vowed to erase our kind from the face of the earth. Starting with Annabella. Sorry, Princess Willow is next in line to run the high council. The Lycan king and Willow's mother left Paris one night and travelled by foot, trying to find a safe place for her. But regardless of where they settled, ivy found them and brought distraction to the pack they settled in. A
