The whole day was spent trying to convince the Alpha King that Ella was in fact Lara and Alpha Gabriel’s ‘To Be Luna’. It seemed a challenging task indeed for Ella to pretend to be someone she actually was not. She didn’t even know much about how Luna was supposed to react or behave. She was a human and was used to a simple life. But Clara was guiding her at every step, making things easier for her.Every now and then, she had to tolerate Alpha Gabriel’s show of intimacy towards her. It was not that she disliked it, but then she knew that it was immoral to be with somebody who was not hers and belonged to some werewolf. She didn’t want their pretense to turn out to be real. She was afraid that if she let Alpha Gabriel come closer to her every time, then their feelings for each other would keep on increasing. Besides, she didn’t want to betray Jade on her own end. She still had hope that Jade would come and pick her up from the island.Finally, the Alpha King went to his bedroom to res
The Alpha King was too glad to see one of his packs prosper to such an extent under Alpha Gabriel, and he was impressed with Luna as well. He felt that he was wasting his time and should leave so that he could attend to other important issues in his kingdom.Ella was serving dinner for the Alpha King, but she was taking special care that she didn’t happen to be very close to him, lest he get the human scent from her. Clara was helping Ella with her work while Alpha Gabriel, Beta Leon, and the Alpha King were enjoying their dinner.“Luna Lara! There seems to be some magic in your hands. Whatever you cook turns out to be delicious. No wonder Alpha Gabriel is so strong. You might be feeding him mouth-watering dishes. He might not be able to refuse eating them, and that is the reason for his strength. I suggest that you control his diet now, or else he will grow fat. His six packs would turn out to be pot belly if he ate so much. Ha ha.” The Alpha King was a humorous person who used to ke
That night, the Alpha King slept in the mansion, and so Ella was forced to spend her night at Alpha Gabriel’s mansion. Her heart missed a beat to think that she might have to sleep with Alpha Gabriel in the same room. She remembered how he had slept with her on the same bed, cuddling her at the Omega Chief’s hut. She was worried about how Alpha Gabriel would behave toward her again. She was worried not just because he would behave in that manner toward her but also because her proximity to him was arousing emotions within her too. She was afraid that her own emotions might betray her.Alpha Gabriel and Beta Leon offered the room downstairs for the Alpha King to sleep in, considering his age, but he insisted on sleeping in the room adjacent to Alpha Gabriel’s on the top floor of the mansion.“Pardon, my Lord! You might feel uncomfortable climbing the stairs, as your age might not permit that.” Beta Leon tried to convince the Alpha King.“Who told you that my age can be a barrier to any
The dance party was finally organized. It was to continue for two and a half hours, followed by dinner. The werewolves from all over the island were invited. Alpha Amelia refused to attend the party, and she cooked up some lame excuse for the same. The Alpha King’s mission was to keep all the packs of the island united, but it wasn’t an easy task with such miscreants as Alpha Amelia and Alpha Felix, who, although they had the power required to become Alphas, lacked other traits such as kindness and generosity. According to them, their pack members ought to have fear and awe for their Alpha, and so they kept suppressing the members of their pack without working towards their welfare.The Alpha King wanted the other Alphas to learn the traits of Alpha Gabriel so that they could carry on the administration of their packs in a similar manner, but those evil-minded Alphas refused to attend the party.After breakfast, Alpha Gabriel took Ella shopping as per his promise and asked Beta Leon t
Alpha Gabriel and Ella returned from their shopping spree, and Ella was feeling happy on the island for the very first time. She was feeling very comfortable with Alpha Gabriel, and in fact, she had started considering him to be her closest friend by now, on whom she could rely.The Alpha King was waiting for them over lunch already. The maid had already served lunch to the Alpha King under the instructions of Beta Leon and Clara. Still, he had not yet started his lunch.“I would like to wait for Alpha Gabriel and Luna Lara before I start. I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the lunch unless I ate anything prepared by Luna Lara. I have gotten addicted to her recipes.” The Alpha King was just saying this to Beta Leon when Ella and Alpha Gabriel reached.“What would you like me to cook for you, Alpha King?” Ella asked.I don’t want you to go to the kitchen to cook something. I would like it if you chopped these fruits and prepared fruit salad for me. I would love to eat that as a dessert.Ella
Ella greeted all the werewolves who entered Alpha Gabriel’s mansion for the dance party. She kept her face adorned with a beautiful smile to please the guests. Ella was relieved to see that even Mrs. Rolex had arrived for the party. She was looking stunning in an ankle-length, black, long gown. The dress suited her robust physique. “Hi! Aunty! I am glad that you came. I am feeling so lonely over here. I would feel comfortable if you were around.” Ella welcomed her cordially.Soon, the DJ beats started echoing in the mansion as an indication for the couples to arrive on the dance floor. The Alpha King, who was fat due to overeating, was looking for a partner to dance with. He was tall, but he appeared almost like a ball, spherical as his tummy protruded out of his body. He wanted six packs like other werewolves, but he could hardly resist his tongue on seeing delicious food around. He could do anything to please his drooling tongue.He looked all around, but all the werewolves already
Ella turned back, trying to run away from the spot, but she could see wolves approaching from all directions. She was certain that she would end up losing her life this time as all the werewolves would together eat up her meat. She chewed her nails and twirled her hair in anguish, trying to find ways to escape, but to no avail. She had her heart in her mouth, as they had come very close to her. She crouched on the ground, covering her face with her hands, getting prepared for the attack. To her surprise, the wolves, which were at an inch distance from her, sniffed at her and left the place one by one. She was at a loss as to what was happening. Why were these wolves sniffing her? Within five minutes, the hundreds of wolves that were surrounding her left the place one by one, and she was left alone on the dance floor.The wolves broke into a run, hunting their prey on the full moon night—that was a usual routine for the werewolves on a full moon night. She ran towards the mansion and c
“You should have run away and left the place within the spur of a moment. I can hardly remember much about the incidents that took place after I shifted to my wolf form completely. I hope none of them harmed you.” Alpha Gabriel asked out of concern.“I don’t know why, but all the werewolves who had surrounded me initially as if I were their lone prey sniffed me and then left the place one by one. I know that I am a human and would obviously smell like one, but it felt strange to be sniffed by them like that. It was a miracle that none of the wolves attacked me, and I am still safe.” Ella replied.Alpha Gabriel leaned forward toward Ella and sniffed her again.“What are you doing now? Sniffing at me like that again? Will you please stop that?” Ella got irritated.“You are having the blood of an Alpha running within your veins—not because you were born to an Alpha but because I donated you my blood—and that is making your scent confusing. The wolves might have gotten confused about whet
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
