Ella was feeling frightened. She didn’t have the courage to unplug her smart phone from the charging cable. She wanted to get out of bed, but then she was so overpowered by the fear that she lay still on the bed, trying not to make any noise. She had a narrow escape from death last night. She could hear the chirping of birds by now. The howling sounds of the wolves were replaced by the silence of the morning. There wasn’t any sound except the chirping of the birds and the occasional barking of the dogs. She had witnessed that day how Mrs. Rolex had re-shifted into her human form at the onset of dawn. She knew within her heart that the same process might be repeated again. But what if they are still in their wolf form? She was thirsty, and there was no water around in her room. Perhaps the full moon affected their daily routine, and Mrs. Rolex had forgotten to ask the maid to place the jug of water on the table.Ella felt weak after the bloodcurdling night and didn’t have much courage
“Should I tell Mrs. Rolex about my fear for the werewolves? Would she understand my feelings? She is a werewolf, and I am a human. Even if I try to explain everything to her, she might fail to understand how I feel on this island, a single human amidst werewolves. What if I try to escape from this island myself? I should walk towards the east and cross the bridge. That is all that is needed to reach a human community. But Alpha Amelia would eat me alive if she happened to see me again, especially in her own territory. If the witch comes across me, she will leave no stone unturned in casting a spell over me. It is too perilous for me to try to cross the island on my own. I have no other option but to wait for Mrs. Rolex or Alpha Gabriel to help me reach my destination. But what if I become their prey once they shift to their wolf form?” Ella kept thinking about the probability of her survival on the island and the chances of her escaping from there, but even after pondering for an hour
“Oh! Try to trust us, please! We are not their spies. We have been banished from our pack by Alpha Gabriel. That is why we have now decided to be members of your pack, Alpha Amelia. The Dark Moon Pack is the only abode for us in our current scenario.” Ivan cried out.“You are trying to take me into a trap. I know very well that the vicious Alpha Gabriel has sent you just to mislead me so that you can pass on the information and secrets of the Dark Moon Pack to the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. I know that it is a conspiracy against me. But you are fools to assume that I would fall into your trap.” Alpha Amelia yelled as she flogged Ivan on his bare chest and back multiple times, making him scream out of the pain that he was suffering.She then turned toward Liam. She had already chained their hands to the poles in the open air. “And you? Do you think of yourself as a super hero that you were trying to sneak into my mansion at night? If my guard had not caught you red-handed climbing o
So what if Luna Lara is lying unconscious? I already know that she has been poisoned. That is not a reason for you to become the next Alpha, and don’t just stop me from killing these soldiers, ‘Ivan and Liam'.“They are telling the truth. They have been banished by Alpha Gabriel from the Blood Moon Pack. If they join your Dark Moon Pack, then they might be of great help to you, and you can attack the Blood Moon Pack with better preparation next time by extracting their secrets and war tactics from these soldiers. I will also try to help you, but not if I become the next Alpha. I mean, I will not allow you to attack our pack if I am declared the Alpha." William smirked as he said that.“Stop dreaming, William. You are nothing in front of Alpha Gabriel. He is so powerful that he has defeated me and my Beta several times in the battle. You stand nowhere in the race. So it is better for you to remain down to earth.” Alpha Amelia spoke curtly.“I can easily replace Alpha Gabriel if you sup
Beta Leon walked briskly towards Alpha Gabriel’s mansion. He had an important piece of news to disclose to the Alpha. Sweat beads trickled down his forehead as he came running all the way after receiving the news. He had his residence half a mile ahead of Alpha Gabriel’s mansion. Clara had answered the call, and the couple had started panicking the moment they received the news from the other end. Meeting the Alpha and talking to him about the issue was important. It was not safe to convey such important and confidential information over the phone. So he decided to meet the Alpha himself.It was just 6 a.m., and Alpha Gabriel was in the habit of sleeping till the sun shone brightly. He used to wake up by 7.30 a.m. Beta Leon knew the Alpha’s nature. What he could not tolerate at all was anybody waking him up by force before the scheduled time. He knew that if he woke him up, he would be enraged. But the matter was urgent, so he went ahead without caring for the consequences.His legs s
“It is near impossible to get the scorpion venom from the witch so soon. Alpha Amelia has played a dirty game this time. She knew how difficult it was to cure Luna Lara. If the Alpha King declares ‘William’ to be the next Alpha instead of me, it will be a dream come true for Alpha Amelia. She is so jealous of me that she can go to any extent to overthrow me from my position.” A frustrated Alpha Gabriel complained.“But are you willing to surrender your post to that ‘William’? He is not even half as powerful or capable as you. We need to find some solution to this problem at the earliest, Alpha.” Beta Leon said.“Don’t give me tension, Beta Leon. Come up with solutions, not problems. Did you get that?” growled Alpha Gabriel, as he didn’t have the slightest idea about what could be done in the current scenario.Beta Leon kept quiet for a while, trying to stress his brain hard to find a solution while a maid came with bed coffee for both of them. Sipping hot coffee helped Beta Leon a lit
“Ella, you are giving the illusion that Lara is right in front of me. How I wish that she was in her normal, conscious state. She was generous, kind, and loving, and she was also well versed in all forms of war tactics. The only thing that she lacked was the ability to read other people’s minds and resistance to aconite. She wanted to be the alpha of the Moon Stone Pack, and that is why she wanted to gain these qualities of an alpha from the Witch. But unfortunately, the witch deceived her in the guise of giving her power and administered her aconite instead of helping her gain the powers of an alpha.” Alpha Gabriel started beating around the bush, trying to gain Ella’s empathy.“But I am not Lara; I am a human, and my name is Ella. I don’t have any of her qualities either.” said Ella.I know that very well, Ella, but you are as brave as Lara. You tried your level best to defeat Alpha Amelia in the battle, even though you are a human. I appreciate the courage displayed by you at that
“I know that you will not prefer to do what I am asking you to do. But it is the need of the hour for me. The Alpha King is coming for a visit to our pack to ensure that I have a Luna. If I fail to assure him that, then he will declare ‘William’ to be the next Alpha, which will be detrimental for our pack. He will exploit all the members of our pack for his personal benefit. Although he is strong and powerful, he is vicious and selfish. He would care little about the welfare of his pack members and end up ruining our pack. It is not that I want to remain the Alpha for my personal benefit, but it is for the welfare of the subjects that I don’t want ‘William’ to be the Alpha.” Explained Alpha Gabriel.“But that doesn’t mean that I can pretend to be your Luna, Alpha Gabriel. Please keep me away from your pack affairs and politics. I don’t want to be a target for other werewolves who might end up feeding on my meat. You have already committed atrocities against me for no fault of my own,
