“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,
Ella was in the habit of sitting beside the lake during the day when Clara was out for work and there was nobody else to give her company. She just enjoyed the nature. It was something rare for her in the Emerald City, where there was little greenery and what one could see were skyscrapers instead of nature. The chirping of the birds and the rustling of the leaves were like music to her ears. There were various species of birds all around. The swans floating on the lake seemed to be a picturesque sight. The flamingoes, hummingbirds, sparrows, parrots, kingfishers, and hornbills were a feast for her eyes. It had become her favorite hobby to click on their pictures. She thought that she would show those pictures to her friends upon reaching her city.After clicking almost 20 pictures of various birds, she finally sat on a rock beside the lake. She closed her eyes for a while, and the humming of insects, the barking of the dogs, the hammering of the woodpeckers, the noises of critters, t
Ella knew that if she could use the power stone by reflecting it on the black magic of the witch, then certainly it would turn ineffective immediately, but how to remove it and take it in her hands was the question that was troubling her.She felt that the only option left with her was to take out the power stone using her mouth. She kept bending forward towards the pocket of her dress, but then her tied legs prevented her from reaching out to her pocket. She kept trying with the hope that she would succeed in getting it out. The power stone was her only ray of hope that could render all the tricks and actions of the witch ineffective. After a long struggle of almost two hours, she finally managed to reach out her mouth towards the pocket. She removed the power stone and reflected it using her mouth over the ropes with which she was tied. Since the ropes were the result of the black magic of the witch, they gave way, and Ella’s hands and legs were finally freed. She could now move th
Ella woke up in the morning, surprised that she had fallen asleep in a standing position inside the cage. She checked for her power stone and was relieved that it was still there. She didn’t want to use it unless it became urgent; otherwise, the witch would snatch it away from her, and she was scared that her powers would increase. She wished that she could sort things out with negotiations rather than any fight.The sun's rays were entering the room through a small aperture, and it didn’t seem as frightening as it was at night. The foul smell was still troubling her anyway. “I will try to get my work done today and just leave this hell as soon as possible.” Ella thought to herself.She was glad to see the witch return to her room. “I hope you spent an awesome night in the cage, my darling.” She said it with sarcasm in her tone. Ella’s blood seemed to boil at her remark, but she still kept quiet.“Would you like to help yourself with this decoction that I have made? Trust me, you will
It was a steep hill, and so it seemed like a backbreaking task for Ella to climb the top of the hill. She could see an old building right on the topmost point of the hill. It seemed to be dark and scary from a distance. Ella wondered how these witches could survive in such a dark, old residence of theirs. She wanted to know if the witch resided there all alone or if there were more witches staying with her. She felt like she was on a trekking adventure.Ella climbed up the hill as fast as she could. She wanted to reach the building before sunset to avoid being frightened by the darkness. After climbing for almost an hour, she finally reached the top of the hill and was relieved to see Alpha Gabriel’s soldiers, who were standing scattered at secret places throughout the surrounding area.As she entered the witches’ residence, the witch appeared in front of her. She was old, and she had snaggle-toothed and sunken cheeks. She was crone-like and had wrinkles on her face as well as a wart
Alpha Gabriel left for his territory after dropping Ella off in the southern part of the island. It would take him nearly five hours to reach there, and he felt it was necessary to contact his Beta Clara on an urgent basis. Fortunately, he remembered her number, but he didn’t have his smart phone with him. He had enough gems with which he could buy a new phone but decided not to waste time over that.His glance fell at the cab driver’s smart phone as he was talking to some other customer. “Could you lend me your smart phone for a while, please? I happened to lose my phone accidentally.” Alpha Gabriel requested.“Oh! Sure. It will be my pleasure to help you, sir." He said this as he handed over his smart phone to Alpha Gabriel.He was greatly relieved and finally dialed Clara’s number. “Hello! Clara! I hope things are fine in our pack.” He asked.“Where have you been so far, Alpha? I am getting mad at the situation here, as I cannot handle it all alone considering my health.” Clara got
Ella almost dragged her body towards the outskirts of the forest. The forest seemed to be dense and unending. Alpha Gabriel walked ahead, and Ella was following her quietly. The path on which they were walking was full of thorns and was piercing Ella every now and then.“Isn’t there another path to reach the outskirts, Alpha?” Ella asked in frustration, as moving further seemed difficult."Unfortunately, this is the only way to reach the outskirts of the forest. This demon landed us in such a place that escaping from here seems tedious. If I were alone, I would have taken my wolf form and reached it by now, but as a human, waking up on this path is cumbersome.” Alpha Gabriel said:.“It is not that I don’t want to move ahead, but the path is infested with thorns, making it impossible for me to walk ahead, Alpha.” Ella complained.“I have an idea. I can carry you if you want. You are just like a baby for me—small and delicate but hot and sexy at the same time. Don’t stop me if I start t
Finally, Alpha Gabriel woke up, and he was surprised to see Ella place her head on his chest. He stroked her hair gently. “What is it, Ella? Are you getting sentimental?” he asked.“I am just trying to live up to each and every moment that I am spending with you, as I doubt that these might be the last ones.” Ella said it emotionally.Alpha Gabriel placed his hands on her lips. “Don’t speak like that. We will have more of such times in the future, I believe.” He said this as he produced the diamond necklace that was among the gems that the demon had given him as a reward. The chain seemed elegant and beautiful.“Now close your eyes, Ella.” Alpha Gabriel commanded.“Why should I close my eyes? I mean, I want to see you as much as possible before I return.” Ella asked in surprise.“Just close your eyes for a moment, Ella. Can’t you do that for me?” Alpha Gabriel requested.“Okay. I will close it for a while, but don’t be mischievous because I am already petrified in the forest, and if y
Ella was in deep slumber in Alpha Gabriel’s arms—undisturbed, unperturbed. She was doubtful if she was dreaming or if it was a reality. She saw that Lara had approached her.“Ella, are you returning back to your city tomorrow?” Lara asked.“How do you know me, Lara? We have never met each other, right?” Ella countered her.“That is not important. I know you very well.” Lara replied.“I am sorry. I don’t want to hurt you. That is the reason that I am returning to my city. I didn’t want you to see me with your mate. You have caught us red-handed. I promise that your mate will be all yours.” Ella got anxious.“Don’t be so anxious, Ella. I know that you love Alpha Gabriel. I love him too. He is so charming and strong that none of the girls can resist him.” Lara said.“What? Do you know about our relationship? But you have been unconscious since the time I reached this island, aren’t you?” Ella was surprised.“I am unconscious, but the fact is that I know everything that is happening aroun
Alpha Gabriel realized that Ella was stressed out and was disappointed by the continuous challenges that she had been facing even before reaching the witches’ residence, and so he wanted her to relax so that she would get refreshed again.“See, Ella. I have brought some fresh fish for you. As I was looking for your jeans in the water, I happened to catch them. I know that it is your favorite. Mrs. Rolex told me once.”“Am I supposed to eat them raw, Alpha? I don’t think that we have a kitchen where we can cook them, right? Don’t you remember that I am a human and not an animal, who can eat meat or fish raw?” Ella was already frustrated with the events that had recently occurred and replied in irritation.“I will cook it for you if you want, but I need your help because I will not be full eating just fish. I need to hunt a rabbit or an elk. I would feel better after consuming its meat.” Alpha Gabriel said:.“I will help you, Alpha, but do find out an easy way because I just want to sle
As Ella had feared, it was already dark, and Alpha Gabriel hadn’t returned. She was upset with Alpha Gabriel for not listening to her. As it was getting darker, her heart raced faster, and the fear kept on increasing. Although she had acquired a few traits of werewolves, she was like a normal human being, filled with anxiety and fear in the darkness of the forest.She was sitting impatiently below the wisteria plant, waiting for Alpha Gabriel to return. He had trust in him, was sure that he might return soon, and believed that there might be some strong reason for the delay.Suddenly, she heard the sawing sound of a leopard. She looked upward in the direction of the source of sound. She was startled to see a leopard sitting on the tree near the wisteria plant.She didn’t have the slightest idea how and when the agile and strong leopard had climbed the tree. It was sitting silently without making any movement. The sight of the mighty carnivore scared the wits out of her. The very next
