“You believe in those rumours?” Kiera said. She is facing her friend, Thalia who has immensely succumbed to this rumour that has been spreading across the town. It was said in those rumours that a non-human exists in their town to get its hands-on teenagers.
The wind is gusting across the playground that Kiera and Thalia were in.
“But what if it’s true? Don’t you find our town sketchy?” Thalia said. Her expression was as curious as a cat. Slowly giving interest in things she barely knew about.
“Come on! Really, Tally? A werewolf turning teenagers into one? That’s just ridiculous.” Kiera said. Fog covered half of the playground, like smoke making it harder for someone to breathe. Kiera is continuing her little speech about how it is not true that there is no werewolf roaming around Scorch Hills and turns teenagers whose life is a mess.
Maybe Kiera didn’t have trouble breathing but Thalia is surely close to collapsing. “Kier, I-I can’t b-b-breathe,” Thalia said with one of her arms in her throat trying her best to gasp a little air until she just vanished with God knows how. Kiera barely heard what Thalia was trying to say. Darkness covered the playground along with thunderstorms that are not visible to the naked eye.
“Tally,” Kiera said. She was terrified. Once in her life, she has never felt more terrified aside from her Mother slapping her face right and left reminding her how much of a failure she is.
“Tally, Where are you? This isn’t funny!” She looked for Thalia everywhere in the playground. Down the monkey bars where they used to play when they were young. Inside the slide even if she knew Tally could never fit in because of her body composure, but she still searched for her friend. Kiera felt that the air she’s getting is getting thinner by the second, she thought that it’s because of the fog. Getting out of the playground was her plan but she isn’t going anywhere without Thalia with her.
“It’s not funny, Thalia! I’m scared, okay? Come out!” she embraced herself, she felt the cold shivering down her spine occupying most of her body’s warmth not leaving anything for her to feel. She thought about how the fog was so thick even though it's the only summer in Scorch Hills and how unusual it is to hear thunderstorms without anything to see up in the wide sky.
“You won’t find her, Kiera…” she heard a loud growl. Slowly, she took steps backwards trying not to make a sound. She thinks of how insane it is that the rumours that have been spreading were true. And moreover, she’s confused about how does that thing know her name.
“I can hear your heartbeat, are you terrified? I can’t really tell.”
The fog was clearing little by little and a figure of an inhuman being was visible. Kiera can feel her body tingling with fear, her shoulder shuddering. She clasped herself with her arms tighter to calm down, now is not a good time to have a panic attack.
When the fog finally cleared up, a red glowing eye in between two tall trees that were covered in darkness was visible to Keira’s eyes.
A woman between the trees suddenly emerged, her hair was as black as the sky darkness, her eyes were glowing red,
Kiera blinked thrice to see if what she’s seeing is not a hallucination or some sort of trick that Thalia does. She could have sworn that what she saw earlier was not human, maybe her eyes were playing tricks at her? She cannot wrap her head around what was in front of her. This woman is dangerous, that she can tell.
“Stay back or I’m going to call the cops!” Kiera said. The woman laughed hysterically, “Cops? Dear, have you seen the cops in this town?” She said and threw a lifeless body in her front smeared with blood. Kiera gasped when she realized that it was the body of a deputy that patrols near the playground.
“W-who are you?” asked Kiera. The woman stopped walking. Keira can finally see her face, it was heart-shaped, her skin was as pale as death, and her stares were like blades that can pierce the flesh of a human body. She’s got blood all over her arms, her mouth, her face.
“I am the one who can give you power,” Kiera’s eyebrow scrunched, the word power echoed through her brain, it was like a trigger of some memory she had. “Power,” Kiera repeated. The word was like a song flowing in her brain, making her submit.
“Aren’t you tired of your mother abusing you every time she’s drunk?” Yeah, Keira is tired of that. All the slaps and spanks she had taken just because her Mother sees her as a failure every time she’s drunk. She can’t move a muscle in her body. If earlier she was terrified now she feels like the woman was sympathizing with her, offering her help that no one did.
“I actually am,” Kiera said. The woman was behind her in a split second. A cold breeze was sent to Kiera’s spine when a claw embarked on her neck, slowly paving its way down to her shoulders.
“Do you want to be free of that?” asked the woman whispering behind her ears. Kiera can feel sultry in the woman’s breath.
Keira thought that her way of living was beyond help, she didn’t know that someone would come up to her and offer her freedom in the most sense where she was terrified but then have been given reassurance that she could tear her wretched life apart and create a new one.
“Yes,” the woman leered. Kiera wasn’t compelled, it is just her deepest desire. She wasn’t asked to submit to her, it was her true nature that made her abide by her words, deepening their meaning down to her roots.
“Huh, like an open book,”
Minute by minute the siren of the cop’s car in Scorch Hills was nearing their location, looking for a 16-year-old teenage girl whose last appearance was seen in the playground. But all that Keira was hearing right at that moment was not the siren, but rather the breath of the woman offering her salvation. A chance to the new life she had always dreamt of ever since she was a child. The event was as quick as a gator penetrating its prey, slick as an eagle towing its food, and they were gone, not even her screams were heard even if it reverberated across Scorch Hills.
“There’s no one here, kid,” said Deputy Gillins. The cop turned his attention to another teenager inside the car wrapped around by a blanket. “Kid, are you sure this was the last place you’ve seen your friend?”
“Yes, I mean- it’s where you found me, right?” Thalia said. “Kid, we found you crawling alongside the forest, and that’s at least 70 kilometres away from this playground,” With nothing to respond, Thalia was stunned because she could have sworn that she and Kiera were together in the playground. How could she have to crawl down the forest?
“Could at least check again? I swear we were together!”
“Kid, your friend hasn’t been missing for 48 hours. The searching unit will go look for her immediately once her parents report her missing. I’m gonna go and drive you home. Curfew at 9,” That’s the problem Thalia thought. Kiera’s mother wouldn’t even bother listing her child as missing, in fact, her Mother would celebrate if she is.
“Solana, Illac, and Foire have been notified of your little detour in humanity's border. Didn’t I tell you to stop it already?” said Nerissa. She is Solana’s little necromancer, usually, werewolves never trust a necromancer, they can be as a trickster as a fox or as sly as a vampire. “Who told you that they have been informed?” Solana asked while wiping the blood off in her arms. It was the blood of the cop that she had killed earlier. Behind her was a cabin and inside was Kiera, unscathed but not conscious. She probably wouldn’t remember a thing when she wakes up. “A fox,”
Nerissa was telling the story of how the world they were in was separated. Kiera never knew that there was a border that separated mankind from the supernaturals. It was said that a quarter of the world was given to the supernaturals making them vow to never set foot on humanity's border. “But, I don’t understand, why is there a border?” Kiera asked Nerissa. They were seated on a couch while Solana was taking a nap inside the cabin. Kiera was hesitant to ask Nerissa whether or not Solana turned her into a werewolf. Maybe when the time is right, then she’ll ask. “The border
Nerissa transported Solana and her betas to her lair in Imperio. “Well, that was close,” said Damian. True, that Foire and Illac were so close in getting them, “Yeah, thankfully Nerissa’s faster, yeah?” Juls added. Solana took Kiera from Damian’s arms, “So, you crossed the border for this girl?” Juls said coldly. Julian is not a big fan of girls his age, he was more into mature women like Nerissa. It was impolite of Julian to say that to his Alpha especially he owes her his life
[Present] “Your mind is elsewhere, Solana,” Kiera said. She was finally up after sleeping like a log for the past hours. She sat down trying to start a conversation with her. Solana was quiet, she has always been after knowing what she really is. “Why does it have to be me?” Kiera asked. ‘Because I’ll use you as a bait’ Solana wanted to say that but she can’t. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Kiera.
“Stop reminiscing,” Nerissa said to Solana firmly. She was busy casting a spell that detects whether or not someone is after them. Solana’s forehead furrowed and looked at Nerissa muttering incantations.“Someone found us,” said Nerissa. Solana scoffed. She knew exactly who found them. Foire and Illac, abiding by Kala’s command. Solana has the slightest idea of how Foire and Illac managed to find them. First, the dagger that Illac threw at her has some kind of tracking spell, or, second, the dagger is linked to Illac and asked for a necromancer to find where it is. There are others too but it was complicated.Kiera, Damian, and Juls are lined up horizontally waiting for their Alpha to give them directions. They’re cute, like puppies that is what Solana thinks. Soon, these three betas will help her, especially Kiera. She just knew it. “Are we going to fight?” Juls raised the question since none asks about what they’re going to do. The only thing that amu
“We won’t attack now?” Foire said to Illac with nothing but confusion in his tone. Illac had decided to at least give Solana and her group of clowns a time to bid their farewell to one another. “Yeah, take it as my kind gesture,” he said that annoyed Foire down to his tail. They are currently waiting in their den around Satan because Illac figured that they could use some rest first but obviously, Foire isn’t a big fan of his selfish decision. “You’re kidding,” Foire said. His head is about to erupt any minute now. He doesn’t understand why is there a need to rest. “Nah, it’s quite a task capturing her so I say that we prepare then attack them during nightfall,” Illac said while yawning. Foire doesn’t know what to think, maybe his brother is tricking him into giving up because, after all, it is in their nature. “And if they know that we were coming?” Foire raised a question that Illac didn’t think of. “Then it’s up to-” “You? Huh
Kiera and Damian managed to shake off the ghouls that were on their tail for at least half an hour. Their speed started to pace down in the middle of the forests near the Daemoniom area. Kiera is still not familiar with the places in the supernatural border and was shocked to see that it is almost the same as humanity. She hopped out of Damian's back to let him change into his human form. Kiera's eyes were examining the place they were in. Tall trees blocking the night sky, and there are music and noises that repel throughout the forest. Damian changed back into his human form with no clothes on. "One problem," he said to Kiera that was still examining the forest. Kiera slightly turned her head to see if Damian's already changed into his human form and was caught in surprise that the boy is not wearing any clothes on. "I got no clothes," "Why do you have no clothes?" Kiera asked emphasizing the words. She was embarrassed for no reason and flustered. S
Blair scoffed while ragging Julian's unconscious body to Daemoniom. She was pissed but at the same time please even if Foire and Illac contacted her last minute to take care of a little lost werewolf. "Can't believe he called me a hybrid. I hate this disguise, why do I even have to wear this crook? Ugh," she said. Blair is one from Foire's and Illac's inner circle in the supernatural border. She was a necromancer capable of almost everything, even killing by just using her mind. The means of transport in the supernatural border are the necromancer's tele magic. Blair thinks it was fun toying with Julian because he doesn't really care about his surroundings, but it is a shame that he didn't notice it as fast as Blair anticipated. "He must be dumb," she said as she lies down Julian body and recited an incantation. Compared to other necromancers, Blair's magic has always been incomparable, tele magic would usually drain out a quarter of a necromancer's m

"What are they doing here?!" Nerissa looked at Illac furiously and walked towards him. She was battle-ready the moment she saw Elliot and Lucas behind Illac and Lorcan. The sun is about to set and they are getting ready, Illac has already informed Elliot and Lucas about the truce he made together with Solana's betas and Azazel's daughter, which turned out to make more sense to the both of them since Illac has got nothing to do with Solana in the first place.Elliot looked at Nerissa and cannot help but see Azazel's resemblance to her. He looked away and grinned his teeth, he have been loyal to her father and yet Azazel just ended up using him as well. Everything and everyone to him is just his tool based on what suits and is convenient for him."We will need them," Illac said looking at Nerissa. Lorcan sighed, he knew this would happen, Illac could have brought in someone who they less hate instead of these two who is literally the reason why Solana is in K
Hello, my lovely readersFinally! Another season is done and we are entering the finale season of The Last Alpha Standing! Things have been a rollercoaster even for me. I could not believe that time flies so fast that this novel is already at its climax and down to its ending. I thank you all for your support and for reading my story.From here on, things will be a lot more exciting.

I am also working on a new novel right now, you guys are familiar with warlocks, right? They are basically necromancers, they also practice witchcraft. I will be publish
"You are claustrophobic?" Solana said irritatingly. She brushed her hair pushed back and bit her lower lips while looking unbelievably at Athalia. She does not mean any criticism but how can she be a hunter with a fear of tight places? Is that not what a hunter usual do, go in tight places and wait for their 'prey' and shoot them dead? "You have been asking me, and for the tenth time, yes!Ugh!" Athalia said rolling her eyes. She has been walking front and back getting uneasy because of Solana's repeated question. "Okay, but I do not care. Get inside the vent or die here," Solana said sharply and kicked the ventilation open, it is not even that tight in Solana's opinion. Solana slowly put her right leg in an arched position as she slowly crawls her way inside the vent. She looked at the way ahead of her and just hissed, it is tight. She moved backwards slowly went out of the vent and placed her right foot on the ground to support her weight. She si
"Illac are you sure about this?" Lorcan asked. They are on their way back to convince Elliot and Lucas. If the two of them agrees, then Illac will be able to bring Lorcan inside humanity's border as well."Yes, with the right motivation," Illac said confidently. They are leaping through the top of the trees making it their own personal playground, i is not even close to a monkey bar but this is their way of relieving the weight of the lives on their shoulder.It is not like they are going to pursue the both of them, making Elliot agree is enough because that automatically means that Lucas is with them too, however, his personality does not like picking sides even if he does it subconsciously with Elliot. Illac does not know if Elliot will be tempted to his offer, but he has no other options.He did not tell Nerissa and the others about it because they will surely forbid him from doing so, hopefully, they do not have to find out.
"Ahh!" Solana screamed in agonizing pain. Ten minutes after Sybil left, Solana felt like despair she had never felt. Her rage, all her hatred, she does not know who deserves it more, but one thing is clear for her. It was like a fog inside her mind cleared up and from there, her true motive, her goal, her desire was shown. Kala and the woman who abandoned her and used her until now deserves to die.Solana tried getting out of the bed but every time she moves, she was being electrocuted. She screamed and screamed, but all her efforts did not work. She does not even have enough strength to go on. She has not been eating for a week now since Sybil had kept her locked, this was the first time she had seen her after a week and it turned out she is her mother who played her life as if it was a doll. She was her mother's puppet without her knowing. Solana saw the truth in her mother's eyes, it was not just Kala who wants to obliterate the supernatural from the beginning, Sybil wante
Illac punched the wall which made a big crack, his fists are closed and his jaw is clenched. Just when things are one step closer to rescuing Solana, Athalia was found by Kala and whoever that woman he heard at Athalia's end of the call."Fuck it," Illac muttered and kicked the chair where Lorcan is sitting. The chair collapsed because of the amount of momentum from Illac's kick that made Lorcan fall to the floor."What happened?" He asked. Illac did not look at him, instead, he grunted and threw all the books he have on the shelf. It is exactly what Lorcan thinks, something bad must have happened. Lorcan stood up and wipe the scrapes from the chair that Illac wrecked."We need to move, Illac said hastily that made Lorcan eyes widened. He is not thinking straight right now, he is rushing his decision without thinking about it. Illac has never done anything like this, so why is he doing this right now?"Illac, it is dangerous," Lorcan sai
Athalia looked from right to left to check if there is any hunters patrolling. This is not the time she watched them so she does not know if there is anyone near Sybil's room. She was careful at each step she takes, if she pulls this off, then they might just rescue Solana and not let her end up dead."Are you near the room?" Illac asked. Athalia rolled her eyes, he has been asking her the same question ten times already. She called Illac just in case something happens, he will know what it is."No, will you shut up and stop asking me. I told you that I will update you, did I not?" Athalia said whispering. She takes double precautions, she does not know what will welcome her along the way so it is best to be prepared.Illac's end of the line became quiet. Finally, Athalia thinks. She looked at the door of Sybil's room, the last time she checked her monitor, she was still inside her dad's lounge and has not come out. She must be contemplating th
One week passed, Athalia have been watching Sybil and her dad, she even had a micro cam and mic installed in the lounge to get whatever she needs, but they barely mention Solana. She has been giving details to Illac as well regarding the room where she found Sybil the moment she came back."Is there anything aside from the room you are suspicious of?" Illac asked at the end of the line. Athalia sighed before answering him."No, but I have been watching them, all I need is to get the key to confirm it. I am gambling at this anyway," Athalia said while talking to the phone with Illac."Make sure that you are gambling for the right one, Tally. We would not want to have any inconveniences and get Solana killed," Illac said. Athalia can feel the seriousness from his voice at the end of the phone line. Athalia cannot mention Sybil's name because she does not even suppose to know about her in the first place, Kala had her hidden until Athalia saw the
