Alpha Connor woke up, panting hard and sweat broke out. He looked around and noticed he was in his room. “Was it all a dream?” He muttered under his breath. Then he stood up and opened his window to allow the breeze to caress his skin. “I have to see my Luna tomorrow.” He said to himself, hoping that the dream wasn’t a revelation of what was going to come. But something was baffling him. It was certain that they old lady wasn’t a witch as there were no witches near or far. So, he went down to the dungeon and saw her, hugging her knees. “Tell me. Who are you?” He asked, with his right eyebrow raised. “I… I said I am a witch.” “Shut the hell up. Why the hell did we believe you when you said that? Probably because we have no idea of how they were going to look or act if there were truly witches, alive.” Alpha Connor fired at her, beginning to look annoyed. “Alright. I will confess, but please, spare my life.” She pleaded as she went down on her knees, rubbing her palms together.
Alpha Connor could not believe his ears. Hadrulph had actually come over to him to request for Carolina’s blood at the expense of her life? Just to save his Luna? That was selfish and apart from that, it was hard to trust Liliana. He once trusted her, thinking he would see Helen and he was only tricked with the car that exploded. “I am sorry. I can’t grant that favor, especially that Liliana is not someone we can trust.” Alpha Connor said as he looked away and sipped his coffee. “This time around, it is true. I know she might need Helen to keep taming me or sort, and she is dying, so she would want to keep her alive. We could plan ways to get Helen from her clutch.” “We have tried so much to save Helen and tell me, how far have we gone?” Alpha Connor asked as he squeezed his forehead. “Look. You are my friend and you ought to help me.” “Not at the expense of Carolina’s life. Come on, think straight! She just woke up after days in coma and you want to send her back to that come? Wo
Hadrulph felt bitter that the only person that he had high hopes on had disappointed him. To him, he felt it wasn’t bad if Connor sacrificed his Luna for two lives. And there was a chance that Carolina would wake up back, but for him, Helen and his unborn pup could die, which would be bad for him. Then he decided that he was done, being against Liliana and running in circles. “I think it is time I join hands with Liliana. She is strong and has always been at the winning end.” He said to himself and drove off to a coffee shop. He called the man that Liliana do use to communicate to him and when the man got there, Hadrulph looked around, carefully, before speaking. “I want to meet with Liliana.” He asked, in a low tone. “How would you call me just to say this, which you know it is impossible.” The man said, looking like he regretted coming out. “I didn’t call you for just anything. Tell her that I have something to tell her. An update that would make her happy.” “And that is why y
Alpha Connor got to the alley and could find no one there, except random people who were passing by, then he dialed the number again, but it wasn’t going. He looked around once more and that was when he remembered Carolina. “No.” He muttered under his breath and ran back to the hotel, but to his horror, Carolina was nowhere to be found. He walked into the hotel and described her to know if she had entered, but they told him there was no one of that description that had entered. ~ Carolina had followed Hadrulph to the middle of the woods, hoping that she would talk to him and he would change his mind, so they could join hands together and find a solution to the problem at hand. “I know that you asked Connor for help.” Carolina said as she stopped walking. “What do you mean?” Hadrulph asked, feigning ignorance. “You asked for a pint of blood from me.” “Yes. And will you give that to me?” Hadrulph asked, with his arms, folded. “So, you weren’t planning on asking me. You thought I
The next day, Alpha Connor went to see Mirabel in the underground. “I am ready to forgive you for what you did to Carolina.” Alpha Connor said as he paced up and down slowly. “I didn’t intentionally aim at her. It was Hardulph I aimed at and that was because you only cared about them both and forgot that my own life was also at stake.” She said, with anger. “I didn’t know you were there, alright? I am not cruel as you think I am. I am giving you a chance to let go of the past and start a new life, helping me with this mission and after this mission, you get what you want.” Alpha Connor offered, with his arms, folded. “Tch! I am not cheap, you know.” Mirabel scoffed and rolled out her eyes. “Alright, you can rot to death, then.” Alpha Connor said, then turned out to leave. “Wait! It shows that you do not have any single care for me. And to be honest, I hate you, although, not as much as I hate Liliana.” She said, bitterly. Alpha Connor who had stopped to hear her out, decided to
Mirabel got to the villa and as she entered, she saw Luc, sitting outside and staring at the night sky. When Luc saw her, he was surprised that Connor had let her out. “Wow. So, you also decided to grasp the opportunity of freedom.” Luc smiled as he watched her come closer. “We both did.” Mirabel said as she walked to an empty room. She put off her clothes and washed them, then had a long, refreshing bath. When she laid on the bed, she stared at the ceiling for a while and felt glad that she was no longer head over heels for Connor. It seemed as if the hatred she had harbored in her heart, towards him, had taken away the love she once had for him. Although, the hatred was gone and now, she just saw him as a partner that would help her achieve her dreams, which one of them was taking Liliana down. She thought of so many things until she fell asleep. ~ Liliana woke up in her bedroom, feeling good. She was proud of how good she was at manipulating just the people she needed, to get
Hadrulph heard his phone ring and then he picked it up. "Hello Liliana." "It's not Liliana. It's me, Helen." "Helen, Helen. What's going on? Are you fine?" Hadrulph asked, out of worry. "No, Hadrulph. I am in so much pains. Please do what you have to do quick to get what will make your pup and I, better." She cried over the phone. "Do not worry. Just stay calm and stay strong, you will feel better soon." Hadrulph assured, with his eyeballs, moving left and right. Hadrulph could not hear any response again from Helen and he hoped that she was fine. "Hello? Helen?" "Have you heard her, Hadrulph? Do what you have to do as soon as possible. Your time is ticking." Liliana said and hung up. Hadrulph felt frustrated, but he calmed down when he remembered that his plan would soon work according to what he had in mind. ~ "Thank you so much for covering up for me." Carolina thanked Luc. "You are welcome." "But I do not want to hear this from anyone. I do not want Connor to know abo
“He is not clean.” Luc said, with his fangs, out. “Not clean? How? He was sent by Connor to bring me out for a surprise.” Carolina said, looking baffled. “Connor isn’t in the woods. He is right at work. Mirabel and I, came back not long from there and then we saw you and him, leaving a coffee shop.” Luc said, still maintaining his aggressive look at the man beside me. Then I looked at the man and left his side, then he adjusted his neck bone and tore off the clothes he wore. He actually had another clothes, underneath, but he needed the one he tore, to deceive me. “Now that you have caught me, I will have no choice than to take you by force.” The man said as he growled, ready to take Luc and Mirabel, down. “Run! Run out of the woods and go to the house.” Mirabel shouted. “No. If she runs off, we do not know if there is someone else waiting for her and then could capture her.” Luc said, trying to get ready to fight the man. ~ Fortunately, Luc and Mirabel were competent enough to
