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
“Guards! Ungag her and remove the blindfold from her eyes! I want her to see me. This is my second encounter with this human girl. But I will ensure that she is dead this time, and I will feed upon her meat.” Alpha Amelia commanded.Soon, the guards ungagged her and removed the blindfold from around Ella’s eyes. She first took deep breaths and then started choking. She had been gagged for almost two hours, and although she could breathe through her nose, she still felt suffocated.She identified that the lady who entered the room was a monster like Alpha Amelia. Ella saw the werewolf standing with her. Although she was seeing him for the first time, she recognized him already, as Alpha Amelia had mentioned his name.William was tall, well-built, and average-looking. He was a wolf with evil wickedness writ large on his face. His vicious smile and laughter seemed to be like those of a villain in the movies.“Why did you kidnap me, Amelia? Aren’t you just jealous of Alpha Gabriel? It is
It was already lunchtime, and Mrs. Rolex was looking for Ella all around. Ella was not in her room. So he sent a maid to look for her throughout the mansion. But they failed to find her. Mrs. Rolex got a little worried and gave Clara a ring, assuming that she might be at Clara’s place, as both of them had become good friends.“Is Ella at your place, Clara? I can’t find her anywhere in the mansion.” Mrs. Rolex, who was perturbed, asked Clara.She isn’t there, aunty. But I know where she might be. She goes to the lakeside to take pictures of the birds and nature. Photography is her hobby. Don’t worry, aunty! I will go and look for her. She might have gotten engrossed in her hobby, and so she would have failed to understand that it was already lunch time. I will reach your mansion along with her within half an hour.” Clara assured Mrs. Rolex.“Thanks Clara. I will be waiting for your arrival.” Mrs. Rolex felt grateful for the help.After half an hour, she reached the mansion exhausted. “
Soon they had a dramatic entry into the premises of the old building. It seemed dark inside, and all around the building stood huge trees of different species, preventing the entry of the sun. The air was filled with the smell emanating from the tall, thick-trunk eucalyptus trees. The entry inside the building seemed difficult without a torch light, but if they switched on the torch of their smart phones, then the flash from the same would alarm Alpha Amelia’s guards and would spoil their plan all- together. So, they tip-toed through the corridor, trying to locate the room in which Ella was trapped.The tracking expert suggested that the smart phone’s location seemed to be on the second floor of the building, towards the left side. To their surprise, they couldn’t find many guards all around and could easily climb up the stairs. Soon they were in front of the room, but they couldn’t hear Ella’s sound from inside the room as she was lying unconscious inside. Two guards were standing wi
