I sigh as I reach for the door. When I touch the handle, my skin instantly burns as if I placed it in hot oil. The pain is unbearable.

“Bloody hell!” I yell in agony as the pain cripples my mind.

“White Skull Rocks,” Jack says, and the other guard laughs loudly. He seems to be enjoying this too much.

I groan in pain as I take a look at my palm. The skin is trying to heal already, but the flesh on it was completely melted off by my encounter with the door. I have to count on my ability to heal fast to deliver me from this excruciating pain.

“The entire door is made of them. I want to see you try to escape,” Jack says with a chuckle as he opens the door and pushes me inside.

He then locks the door, leaving me grinding my teeth because of the physical pain I’m feeling.

I cuss under my breath as my palm continues to regenerate.

I can feel my fangs coming out, due to the pressure that sits in my palm. That door really did a number on me. I take deep breaths to calm myself, and it wor

    “Okay,” I say lowly as I turn my horse around. “Where are you going?” She asks loudly. “Back to The Hole. My people are without a leader, I just want to do what I came here to do, and then return.” I reply to her. “Okay then! Let’s hunt!” Her voice is fierce, and it causes me to halt the movements of my horse. “You say you want to hunt, yes? Well, let’s head to Olam then.” She says, and images of my parents flash in my mind, causing my heart to ache. I gulp as I hold back tears as memories of them haunt me. I have never cried in front of anyone since my parent's death, and I am certainly not going to do that in front of this human female. “Or I can take you back to The Hole,” She says softly. “Is it a law that you vet me the first day?” I avoid her question. I am clearly finding an excuse not to go to the forest. I don’t think I am ready to see where my parents died. “Yes. Well, not law, but it’s mandatory.” She says with a shrug as she now looks at me. “Okay,” I say. “Take m

    She strokes my face and for a second, I bask in the feeling, but then I grab her hand and hold it tightly.“Don’t touch me. All you speak of are lies.” I say to her and I let her hand drop as I put distance between she and I.“Stop moving and fretting...you are wounded, remember?” Her voice changes and sounds more frail now.She’s right, I am hurt. General Ross stabbed me in the belly, how could I forget?And the crazy thing is that I am not even feeling any pain.“You have healed outwardly, but your system is at risk. The poison from the blade has spread inside you.” She informs me, causing my eyes to bulge.I look at my stomach and she is right, I have healed. There’s only a large scar on my abdomen.“I feel quite fine.” I say to her as I sit back down on the floor. “If there was poison coursing through my body, I think I would know.” I add and I scoff lightly.“You don’t feel the effects because your system is fighting it off. You’re lucky, General Ros

    Wow, that was not what I was expecting.“You had an affair with the General’s wife?” I ask her incredulously.“Are you hard of hearing?” She rolls her eyes as she says this. This is clearly a topic that she does not enjoy speaking on.“I’m sorry for making you tell me.” I say softly and her face relaxes.“Oh, you didn’t make me, Jaden. No one makes me do anything.” She says and she goes back to walking around the room and touching the walls.If my mother was human, then how couldn’t I or the other werewolves sense her? It’s very easy to hear the feeble hearts of humans beating. If a werewolf listens carefully enough, he might even hear the blood running through theirs veins.“Did my mother..uh..use magic to cloak her identity?” I ask her, figuring out that that must have been the only way she could have been hiding in plain sight.“Yes, Jaden. Our family bears one of the most powerful sorceress line in the world; but sadly, I’m the only one left.” She explai

    The bravery she has is unmatched. I thought I was brave, but the more time I spend in here with her, I see glimpses of my mother.My mother was a brave woman.I was trying to ignore it at first, but Selena looks exactly like her. The same eye structure, and the same smile.“You miss her, don’t you?” She asks me as I try to escape my thoughts.“Yeah, I do too.” She says without waiting for me to reply to her question.“Why did you say that the forbidden alliance between my mother and father claimed their lives? That’s not what happened.” My voice is firm and Selena studies me as I speak.“They died in a forest here in human territory. That’s where General Ross killed them.” I explain to her.I expect her to know this, since she is a sorceress and all.“The forest Olam.” She says with a sigh.“All you have said is right, I saw it all happen in dream days before.” She adds.“How do you think the General was able to kill two great people on the same day?

    “Wait-what?” I ask her, confusion covering the features on my face.“I don’t have much long. The General and his guards would be here soon.” Her words are carried by the noise from above.Why do they keep so many prisoners? And the crazy thing is that most of their prisoners are their own kind. “What do you mean? I thought nothing could harm you. You told me that.” I say to her.I feel a strange obligation to protect her. Protecting her would be like protecting my mother.“Oh, Jaden. No matter how long the sun sits in the sky, it would still have to fall to sleep so the moon can rise.” She speaks in a parable that only takes a second for me to understand.What she means is that no matter how long she stays alive because of her powers, she would eventually have to fall prey to the cold hands of death soon.“I sense greatly that it is my time.” She adds.She looks very weary. She maintains the appearance of a young lady, but her presence seems old and frail.

    I let out a laugh that makes Jack frown.“And how are you going to do that?” I ask him as I place my hands on my hips, doing a Superman pose.“You’re going to be hung from a tree. The old classical way.” Jack says and it looks like he is enjoying this idea a little too much.I have to understand more of this dying plan, because I am not going to let anyone kill me. Not a human, nor any other werewolf.“Let’s make this clear, I am not actually going to be killed, right?” I ask him through my mind.I don’t think I can continue this conversation for another minute, my mind feels drained. I will try to hold on for a few more seconds.“Of course, Jaden.” He says as he rolls his eyes.“That is just a glimpse of the plan. The hardest part is that you would have to trust me.” Jack says and I gulp.And that’s the thing, I don’t. I don’t trust him for even a bit.“The look on your face tells m

    My claws are sharp enough to cut through concrete like butter. They are not exactly long, but they are pointy and deadly.They may look harmless, but they cause more calm than one can imagine. “Oh, look boys. The bloodsucker has his little claws out.” The General mocks me.The sheer amount of confidence this guy has is ridiculous.He has no idea what he’s doing. I could kill everyone here within seconds. I take in a deep breath to steady my nerves when my eyes land on Jack. He is among the armed guards.“Sir?” His voice is puny compared to the General’s.“The werewolves would soon be upon us. They said they were giving us three days to free their leader.” Jack says as his leader stares into his eyes with a cold look.“And you think I fear those dogs?” Comes the reply from the General.“They want war? We will give war! We will spill the blood of those beasts until the sun bleeds red!” The General

    Death is a concept feared by many, but not by us werewolves. When death stares into our eyes, we look it right back with equal intensity.I am a leader of so many and dying is not what worries me, but leaving all of them without a leader.I try to fight back against the guards taking me to the tree, but another stone is placed on the back of my neck, causing me to unleash a scream that hurts my throat.“Hold on.” I hear Jack’s voice in my head and I give him a hard look.If I had the strength right now, I would tear his throat open.My neck burns as if boiling water has been poured on it. The pain spreads with speed, reaching down to my back.My vision goes black for a second and I fall to the ground.“Get him up!” General Ross yells the command to his guards. They quickly obey their leader and soon I am lifted from the ground and dragged towards the tree where I am to be hung to my death.I can now se

    My palms and forehead are sweating and I can not help but feel nervous. How the hell does Erik know about Vanessa, and that I slept with her? If anyone else finds out about this, it would be hell for me.“You know what, I change my mind. There is no use in telling you,” Erik says as he chuckles. He has a smirk on his face that is causing the anger in me to arise.I close the distance between us as I rush toward him with great speed and I hold him in the air by his clothes. He does not try to fight back, which agitates me further because he’s laughing. Does he think that this is a joke? I could literally kill him right now!“Whoa there, Jaden. I think you have forgotten who’s in charge,” He tells me as a cocky smile plays on his lips, but I can see a hint of fear and nervousness in his eyes.“Now put me back on the damn floor before I have guards barging in here in seconds,” He threatens me and I loosen my grip on his collar while I bring him back to the floor.

    In about fifteen minutes, the chariot reaches its destination. A huge castle comes into view as I exit. I can’t remember the last time that I came here, it has been too long, but my memory is flawless and I can still remember the steak I had the last time I was here to have dinner with Erik and Ramsey. I can still remember how intense Erik’s hate for me was.“Right this way,” The royal guard leads me to the entrance of the castle. I can feel so many eyes on me, a lot of people are here and are also trying to get into the castle. A huge fence keeps everyone out, including the royal guard and me.“The feast has drawn people from all over the town, but not everyone is allowed to enter. Only first-class people and second class are allowed in, and at that, it is still difficult to get in,” The guard explains to me as we weave through the crowd.“Why do I have to be here?” I ask under my breath as I follow his lead.As soon as we are at the entrance, the guard gives a signal to the two buff

    “You are quite bold,” I tell Jennifer and she looks at me with a slightly confused look. “What do you mean?” She asks me and I chuckle.“The fact that you are professing your love to someone right in front of a man you just met today,” I tell her, and she scoffs lightly.“Correction, I did not just meet you today. I have known you all my life and have even looked up to you. You are the leader of the whole werewolf territory, how could I not know you?” She replies to me and the smile on my face weakens.I love how she talks about me as if I am a hero of some sort, but she has no idea how much shame I feel right now. The last time an Alpha faced The Council was decades ago, the fact that I became the next Alpha to face them makes me feel heinous.“Listen, I don’t trust Jack, but that does not mean that you don’t have to too. He is a real nice guy and he saved my life. The truth is that the only reason that I don’t trust him is that he is a Deceptive Alpha, but I think it’s time for tha

    Who I see in this lady’s house startles me, it’s Jack, the deceptive alpha. He is seated on the couch and he looks shocked to see me also. I turned to the lady who owns the beautiful humble home and I decide to interrogate her.She has no idea who this man is, he is a literal trickster, and he cares for no one else but himself. I don’t want him using her.“What is he doing here?” I ask her and she chuckles. “I asked you a question, I did not say a little jokey joke,” I say to her and she looks taken aback but yet answers my question.“He is a guest here, my guest,” She tells me, and then she walks away from me. By the look on her face, I can tell she is pissed at me. I may have been a bit harsh when I spoke, but nevertheless, I still got my answer.She walks to the couch and slumps her body down on it. She folds her arms and stares at both of us.“I am her guest,” Jack says as he stands from the couch and walks over to me. He has had his clothes changed because it is not the same one

    My instincts peak and I smile as I watch him attack. His paw flies dangerously close to my face and I dodge expertly.I feel a great urge to morph and beat the crap out of these guys, but if I dare morph, I might risk getting stoned to death.I know the council, and they don’t play favorites. They stand by their word.“Stop this!” I say as each of them attacks. I dodge all their attempts to hit me smoothly until I trip on a rock behind me and I fall.The head of their pack jumps over me as he sees the opportunity. He lands a hit on my jaw with his paw and I groan in pain.As he is about to hit me again, I grab his paw and I send him flying in the opposite direction with a single blow.I stand to my feet and I let out a growl that causes the other wolves to halt their movements. They now seem scared to try anything.Although I am not allowed to morph, I can certainly take these guys in a fight. I could kill everyone

    “Good. So now that you have pled guilty, would you like to tell the elders, your fellow leaders and the people what happened?” Elder Ian speaks as he looks at me.“Of course.” I say and I turn to the people.I don’t need an object to magnify my voice, I am the most glorious alpha alive, my voice can reach distances if I only focus.“I am not going to lie to you all. I am guilty of the charges brought up against me. I did break the truce, and almost caused a war between us and the humans.” I begin to explain.“That is information you all know. But what you all don’t know is that our food reserves are almost empty.” I say and everyone begins to chatter amongst themselves, including the elders.No one but my hunting team and I knew about our depleting storage of food.“And why didn’t you inform us?” Another elder stands up from his seat and speaks.“Because it was my decision. Telling everyone would have not helped in any w

    I am not a fallen leader.I withdraw from the hug with Erik and he chuckles.“Good luck in there, champ.” He says with a smirk.Jack touches my shoulders and I turn to him.“Are you okay? You look like you have seen a ghost.” He says to me and I wet my dry lips.“I’m okay..I’m fine.” I reply to him and he studies me for a few seconds, not believing me, but he lets go of my shoulder nevertheless.We all walk into the Court House and I see thousands of people. I forgot how big this place is.The inside of the building is like an large arena. Stone seats are carved into the ground and all of them are taken by individuals.“Wow, this place is jaw dropping.” Jack says as he looks around.I look to where we are heading and I can see the twelve elders sitting high up watching us approach.“We welcome, lord Erik!” I hear a voice say loudly through some form of speaker that causes his voice to ring like

    My head is now swirling as I consume this new information.“A leader of Werewolf Territory was placed on trial before?” I ask, still not believing.No leader has been under trial by the council. Leaders can only be advised and warned or even penalized, but never tried.At least not to my knowledge.This Is why I’m not buying what Erik and these people are saying, I can’t be tried!“Yes..Lord Cain.” Isaiah replies to me.“Do you want us to go inside the store to discuss this?” He asks me.Jack tries to speak, but I speak over his voice.“No, we’re good here. Tell me about Lord Cain.” I say to him.I have no knowledge of Lord Cain, except that he led our territory about two hundred years ago.We were taught this as kids.“Lord Cain was tried by the council after it was discovered that he accidentally killed his wife.” Isaiah explains it as if he was actually there.And he might

    The council seeking to meet me before the sun goes down is definitely not a good sign.The council is an assembly of high rank officials within the Werewolf Territory.I am also apart of this council, and so are Erik and Ramsey. Then there are twelve elders that makes the council complete.The twelve elders are werewolves who has been alive for at least a hundred years. A knock on the door of the room captures my attention. I look towards the door and I see Jake standing.Why hasn’t he gone back?“What are you still doing here?” I ask him softly and he begins to walk towards me.“I had a talk with Ramsey..he’s a pretty nice guy.” He begins.“He urged me to stay, and although that is a tempting preposition, I can’t just leave the Human Territory. It’s a part of me, it’s my home.” He explains.“That’s not your home, Jake.” I say and he inhales deeply and exhales shakily.“You don’t understand, J
