“Where is that girl? I found her out in the dark when it was still not dawn; she was battling with wild animals, unable to fight back. She would have lost her life if I hadn’t saved her. It is true that I considered her to be Lara and failed to realize that she is a human, but that doesn’t mean that she was in Lara’s disguise on purpose.” Mrs. Rolex questioned. “I have sent her to prison. You don’t know, Mrs. Rolex, how cunning the witch is. She has sent this girl to mislead us. She felt that we would think that girl to be Lara, and by the time we realized that she was a human, Lara would be dead. We are fortunate that one of our soldiers found her on the outskirts of the forests, or else we would have lost her forever.” Alpha Gabriel affirmed. “And your soldiers will torture her to such an extent that she will be dead? Do you have any proof that the girl is involved with the witch? How did you guess that? What is the basis of your suspicion, Gabriel? What if the girl is innocent and
Clara rushed towards the prison. The soldiers were deployed all over the prison, and it seemed difficult for her to reach the cell where Ella was imprisoned, as she was not even confirmed as to which cell she was in. She heard the soldiers speak as she reached: “We should go inside and have a look at the girl’s plight once again. We were supposed to stay in the cell to keep a watch over her. But we got lazy and slept for a while.” The first soldier said. “Hey! Just don’t worry! The rat might have already chewed her intestines by now, and she might be dead already. After all, she is a human, not a werewolf. She is too young compared to us. We might get to feed on her remaining meat today. Alpha will arrive at the prison by 9 a.m. It is just 6 a.m. and still dark. The bone-chilling cold is taking a toll on me. Let’s have some beer in the meantime." Another soldier suggested. “Do you think the girl was actually involved in poisoning our Luna? Does she know anything about the scorpion v
“Yes, you recognized me correctly. I am Clara, but I have not come to torture you. Could you just tell me your name? So it will be easier to communicate with you.” said Clara. “If you are going to take me to your wicked alpha, then I will not tell you my name, and I will not come with you either. You just go away from here. Leave me alone. Will you?” Ella pleaded, as she had lost trust in the werewolves. “Trust me! I have come here just to save you from the Alpha and his soldiers. Mrs. Rolex, the lady werewolf who saved you from the wild animals, yesterday morning, has sent me here. If I fail to save you, then I will be damned.” Clara tried to explain. “Mrs. Rolex? I know her. She is a very nice lady. She’s kind and good. She’s not like the Alpha and the soldiers over here. I am ready to come with you if you are taking me to her, and my name is Ella.” Ella finally agreed to co-operate. “Then you will have to do me one favor. In a haste to reach here, I forgot to carry the ropes wit
The soldiers were flabbergasted to see the prison cell vacant. There was no body inside. Only the rat kept moving all around. They looked all around but couldn’t find any traces that the girl might have escaped. For a few seconds, they felt that they had opened the lock of the wrong prison cell. But they quickly checked the number engraved on the door of the prison. “It is the fifty-first prison cell. We have opened the correct cell. But then, where is that girl? It is near to impossible that the girl might have survived the torture. The rat might have chewed her intestines already. Has some other werewolf entered and eaten the meat of that girl?” The first soldier finally spoke. “What reply will we give to Alpha Gabriel now? He will suspect that we ourselves have eaten away, her meat. We have to find out as to what has happened behind us in the prison.” Another soldier remarked. They closely inspected the prison cell to find out some clues. Everything inside seemed to be casual. Th
“You know very well that the punishment for helping a prisoner escape is very harsh. You will be banished from the Blood Moon Pack.” The Alpha roared. “I know that, Alpha. You may banish me if you want. But the girl is innocent. She has no connection with the witch, and she doesn’t know anything about the scorpion venom either.” Clara asserted. “So this witch has done some magic over you too, I guess. That is why you are trying to defend this girl. She has helped the witch administer aconite to my Luna and wants to take her place by trying to appear like her.” Alpha Gabriel screamed. “The witch has not done any magic, but instead you have become blind, Alpha. You arrested me without any proof and failed to give me a fair hearing. Besides, you have no common sense at all. If the witch had sent me, then she wouldn’t have let me get tortured by the soldiers. She would have helped me escape using her magic.” Ella said. “We used to play a game called ‘The King and the Thieves’ when we w
Alpha Gabriel took his center seat on a bench in the park, and all the other werewolves got seated around him. Ella stood in the middle, like a criminal. She was the accused, and she was supposed to prove herself innocent. That was the court of the werewolves, and the Alpha was sitting as a judge. This was the first time that Ella had seen Alpha Gabriel carefully. He had an aura of authority about him, and his dashing personality and sharp features were further adorned by his highly muscular body. As he looked at Ella, his golden eyes seemed to glow as the sunrise fell upon them. Ella felt a little attraction for him for the first time ever. “He seems to be so good-looking! Jade is nothing in comparison to Alpha Gabriel.” She thought as she touched her arms. The pain reminded her how cruel and inconsiderate the handsome man in front of her was. “Have I lost it? How can I feel attracted towards a person who has tried to kill me?” She was lost in thoughts when she heard Alpha Gabriel sho
Sophia, who pretended to be unaffected for a while, offered us all to join her on a trip to this island, which will be funded solely by her. She, too, was a billionaire’s daughter and was even richer than Jade. Her casual behavior for a long time had made me trust her, and I readily accepted her offer because even Jade insisted upon it. Everything was well and fine during the journey, and we enjoyed it a lot even after reaching the island. But again, there was a twist on the final day of the trip. The cruise was supposed to commence its return journey at 11 a.m. We had all packed our bags and were ready to leave. But then, suddenly, I found that my best friends, Ivy and Lisa, were missing. I kept looking for them all around, but I couldn’t trace them. I finally asked Sophia if she had seen them somewhere. She pointed towards the forest and said that they had gone there to take some final selfies with the wild life. I followed the direction pointed out by Sophia and reached the interi
Ella looked at herself in the mirror again. She had finally regained her original beauty. But then her clothes were still in a torn and tattered condition. She wanted to change it somehow. “Can I borrow a dress from anybody present over here? I would be obliged if somebody could lend me one," requested Ella. “You come with me to the mansion, Ella. Lara’s dress will be exactly your size, as both of you look so similar.” Mrs. Rolex suggested. "No, Mrs. Rolex. That will not be permitted. She is not yet acquitted of the offense. Until she proves herself completely and I formally declare her to be innocent, she will not be allowed to move away from my sight or allowed any privacy as per the rules because the trial is not yet over.” Alpha Gabriel interrupted. The chauffeur had already arrived with the SUV, and Alpha Gabriel ordered the guard to open the doors of the back seat. He sat there and asked Ella to sit beside him so that he could keep a watch on her and prevent her from escaping
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
