“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
“Stop you cowards! If you have the courage, then fight with me. Don’t just steal my prey from me. I have kidnapped her, and she belongs to me now.” She growled.Alpha Gabriel, who was trying to ignore her all the while, got provoked and couldn’t just resist replying to her. “The greatest poltroon on this earth is calling others cowards! Mind your language, Alpha Amelia. It was you who stole my human friend from me. She is not prey to your kind information. She is my friend, and I will not let anything happen to her ever.” Alpha Gabriel smirked as he carried Ella in his arms. Ella was still not completely conscious. She felt dizzy, as if in a trance. The humiliating treatment that she had received had made her weak.Alpha Amelia got flabbergasted at Alpha Gabriel’s taunt. She leaped at him, trying to attack. She collided with such great force that the powerful Alpha Gabriel almost lost his balance, but he had to protect Ella by all means, and so he had to retain his posture. If he drop
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
