Alpha Atlas tried to console him by stroking him gently over his back while Ella opened the refrigerator. She was further annoyed when she heard that Beta Leon had joined Alpha Felix. She was frustrated. Jade had betrayed her and spoken to her curtly, whereas Beta Leon had seen her getting cozy with Alpha Gabriel. He had gazed at her with malicious intention in his eyes. She wanted to spend her time with Alpha Gabriel. She wanted him all for herself, but he was not hers. He was Luna Lara’s mate. She pulled at her hair in anguish. She wanted to get rid of the frustration.She glanced at the cranberry breezer that was stored in the fridge. She reached out for the bottle opener from the kitchen and opened the bottle. She made herself a drink and gulped it down. She got a burning sensation in her throat, as she had never drunk before. She didn’t want to stop. She wanted her mind to relax, as she had heard that drinks help calm down the nerves. She made herself another drink and gulped it
Alpha Gabriel drove back to the eastern end of the island and soon was climbing the Mont Hills. He was in a haste, as he wanted to get everything arranged as soon as possible so that Ella could go and get the scorpion venom from the witch. It was a steep hill with rocks protruding from its edge, which made climbing possible. But for the rocks protruding out, it would have been impossible to climb the steep hill. Alpha Gabriel carefully placed his feet on the rock protrusions to avoid falling. “How could the saint imagine residing on the top of such a steep hill? How might he be surviving and managing to fulfill his basic necessities? Would he be finding food enough to survive on the hill?” Several questions flooded Alpha Gabriel’s brain.It was a backbreaking task to reach the top of that hill. He knew of every nook and cranny of the island, but somehow he had missed out on this hill, and he had not even heard of it so far. If Alpha Atlas had not been informed of such a location on th
Alpha Gabriel looked closely at St. Mont. He was old, and the wrinkles were clearly visible on his skin, but there was radiance and luster on his face. He seemed glorious and powerful. The light emanating from his face was the result of the years of meditation that he had indulged in. His body seemed emaciated due to starving himself for hours together. His hair was all gray, and he had a long, gray beard and moustache. His radiant face glowed even in the dark.It was nighttime already, but Alpha Gabriel seemed to be no more in haste. He felt secure and peaceful in St. Mont’s company, but there were a few doubts swelling up in his mind, and he had to get them cleared before he returned to his territory.“There must be some way out to deal with the witch in case she grabs the power stone forcefully from Ella, right? She is delicate and tender, and the witch is strong and possesses magical powers. She will definitely grab it from her.” Alpha Gabriel expressed his doubt.“I will hand ove
Alpha Gabriel somehow managed to drive and was finally relaxed as he was out of Alpha Amelia’s territory. He had thought that he would accompany Ella to the witches’ abode so that he would be able to save her if the witch attacked her or ill-treated her. He had already committed the mistake of sending Luna Lara to the witch all alone and was still facing the consequences. He felt helpless. All the while, his luck had supported him and helped him win all the fights, but he felt that fate was playing a dirty trick on him currently. He was already frustrated due to the differences he had with Beta Leon and also because he took Alpha Gabriel’s words seriously and joined that vicious Alpha Felix, and now his leg was fractured.Although, being an Alpha, he could heal himself of the minor injuries, cuts, and gashes, his bones were seriously fractured this time, and he knew that it would take him at least a week to get healed of this fracture. The same fracture would take at least a month for
Two strong werewolves, almost double her size, had attacked her together, and she felt like a puny creature in front of them. There was no way that she could fight them back. She wanted to scream and call Mrs. Rolex for help, but she was already gagged, making her feel suffocated.“I should have listened to Alpha Gabriel’s suggestion and left for my city. He was right that these werewolves are not going to spare me my life if I stay on this island.” She considered. Alpha Felix was touching her all over her body, and each of her nerves felt itchy due to the irritation. She wanted to bite him or injure him with her nails, but his strong grip wasn’t even letting her move. She had a high opinion of Beta Leon earlier, but the way he had changed was something unbelievable for her. She was feeling helpless and was forced to endure whatever Alpha Felix was doing to her against her wishes. He had already slipped her gown off her shoulders, making her feel uncomfortable.She could see a spark i
Alpha Atlas and Ella went to visit Alpha Gabriel after sunrise. Without actually intending to feel anything, she still felt a deep concern for Alpha Gabriel. Her heart ached to see Alpha Gabriel’s leg fractured. She could feel his pain herself. She wanted to relieve him of the pain by all means. Alpha Gabriel was back in his mansion after getting his left leg plastered. He could hardly move his left leg and was dependent on others even for his daily routine. He felt helpless.“I have brought the power stone and the holy water from St. Mont, and now you can readily go to the witch without having to fear getting affected by her black magic, Ella.” Alpha Gabriel said.“I don’t want to go to the witch, leaving you in this condition, Alpha. I would like to serve you instead.” Ella replied.“Ah! I can see that both of you are sentimental about each other, and you can even feel each other’s pain. Is there any bond between you?” Alpha Atlas asked because he wanted to confirm whether they real
“Don’t worry, Alpha Gabriel. I am sufficient to fight them alone. Just let the soldiers know that I will be their commander today.” Alpha Atlas said proudly.Alpha Gabriel just took the phone in his hands to call his soldiers when he received another call from the soldier, who sounded a little baffled.“Alpha, they are attacking from both ends. One troupe led by Alpha Felix is approaching from the north, and the other army troupe led by Beta Leon is approaching from the west. We are getting misled and panicking at this stage. We need two commanders who can direct us on how to subsist in the war against them. Your absence is just making things complicated for us. We are fighting amongst ourselves as we have different opinions on our war tactics. We miss Beta Leon as well as you, Alpha. We are behaving like an unruly crowd in your absence.” The soldier sounded sad as he said so.“I will arrange for commanders soon. I will call you back in a few seconds.” Alpha Gabriel replied, but his f
Ella went to the dressing room and wears the camouflaged patterned shirt and pants with a matching cap, helmet, and combat boots. She wore light-weight body armor that she found in the dressing room to protect her against bullets and a soft vest of laminated fiber to provide protection against handgun rounds. Alpha Gabriel couldn’t stand up for a long time, but he watched her get ready and directed her on how to dress up. He was sitting on a chair in the dressing room so that she was fully prepared and none of their attacks would harm her. She walked out of the dressing room to find that even Alpha Atlas was ready for the war. Ella and Alpha Atlas bid adieu to Alpha Gabriel.“Take care of your leg, Alpha. I will be back shortly, and then I will look after your needs. Until then, you will have to manage yourself.” Ella said.“Don’t worry about me at this stage, Ella. I will be alright. It is just a fracture. You take care of yourself and see to it that you defeat Beta Leon. It is a ma
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
