: THE ROGUES The rogues barely have trusts for anyone. Not to talk of an old man. It's as difficult for them as hell. "I don't trust that old man one bit," Calix said immediately they took cover behind an old acacia tree which had existed before any of them was born."Me neither." Jamal nodded in support and Calix patted him on the shoulder, happy to have someone else who thought the same way as he. He had now pulled his domino mask off and around his eyes were marks indicating where the masks had previously been."He's so creepy. I don't think we should trust him," he said again, his gaze now fixated on both Aiden and Andrew who had been quiet since."But I think we should," Andrew said at last and Calix frowned. "He has a better plan. I think we should go with him." He continued even when both Calix and Jamal had their eyes narrowed at him."How can you say that? What if he has only said all that he had said to keep us trapped? He might be heading for the Alpha's room to sell us o

CONVERSATION We moved in silence, with me peering through the tiny opening of the cart to look at the pack's gate for the last time. I was truly leaving and I could not explain how I felt about it. All I knew was I wished I could stay but as everyone had said, this was the best.I leaned back into the cart and shut my eyes, adjusting a bit to a more comfortable position even when my legs were aching badly. I did not want to think about anything even when there were thousands of questions in my head. Instead, I listened to the sound the cart made as it wheeled away and the chirping of crickets. It sounded soothing to my ears and it sort of calmed me down.Suddenly the cart stopped moving and I opened my eyes, the pounding of my heart resuming. I hated being this anxious and scared but I could not stop my heart from racing each time things like this happened.I could hear footsteps around me and I wondered if it was Elder Theodore or someone else. I listened carefully, trying to stay a

ACHEThe ache in their heads was alarming and they groaned painfully, each of them holding their head as they tried to sit up. What had happened and why did they feel this tired? Sure it could not be the wine they had drunk the previous night.Last night had not been their first night sharing a bottle of wine so why should this hangover be different? They had not even consumed a lot as they had done in the past so why was the pain alarming and why did it feel like thousands of needles had been pinned into their heads?Jaden was the first to sit up and he shut his eyes tightly as he tried to dull the ache pounding in his head. It took a while but he was finally able to open his eyes and he stared around him, a gasp escaping his lips when he noticed his fellow guards who were just as he was.They were all wriggling in pain as they tried to sit up too and it surprised Jaden so much. Immediately, he knew something was wrong.His eyes darted to the cell they were supposed to be guarding an

HIGH RANKING But that was the least of his problem now, so he turned to zoom past them but soon froze when he sighted the alpha walking down the hallway with Jared by his side and some other wolves of high-ranking status behind him.The young guard couldn't help but fidget as the troop approached him and his gaze dropped to the floor as he sought what to say. He would give everything to trade this situation he was in. Jaden, being the bully he was, had asked him to go because he knew he could not say no. So here he was, the unfortunate one who had to deliver such terrible news to the Alpha at such an early hour.Alpha Lundamous had a great temper and he was always angry even in happy situations. The guard could only wonder what the Alpha would say after he had heard the news in full. Then there was Jared who was just as temperamental as his father.The young guard was sure the man would throw a great fit and the guard was not ready for any of these. Jaden should have just gone himsel

MOON PACK The first thing I noticed was the noise. It was so noisy, it hurt my ears. Then, the strange scent. The air had shifted and everywhere smelt different. Another thing that caught my attention was the troop of people moving up and down hastily like ants building a hill.Several colourful booths had been set up all around with people selling different kinds of wares, ranging from food to cloth. The whole place was packed with people and amid the din of people were little children running about happily. It was like a different community of its own and the people smelt and acted differently.I turned to look at Elder Theodore who had also stopped in his track. But I could tell he had not stopped because he was just as shocked as I was. He had a broad smile on his face and he shut his eyes as he inhaled deeply."I'm glad to be here once again." He exhaled, opening his eyes to look at me.My brows furrowed in confusion and I stared back at the people who did not seem to notice us.

: HARMONY I turned to glare at him but he was not looking at me. Instead, he was adjusting the man's collar and patting him on the shoulder. Then he pulled me by the shoulder, his head lowered as he muttered words to onlookers."The show is over." I heard him say and in no time, everyone had returned to their business. It was almost like nothing had happened. Could this mean that humans were quick to forget too?"You shouldn't do that, Aiden. I'm bringing you here not to hurt anyone but to hide yourself for a while. No one will find you here but if you keep making trouble, attention will be brought to you and who knows, Alpha Lundamous might find you. Words fly, you know.""I did nothing wrong." My golden-brown eyes flickered. Why was he blaming me? I wasn't the one who had consumed more alcohol than he should."Even though." Elder Theodore hissed, tossing me a glare before looking straight ahead. "You could have simply ignored. I don't want you doing this again, Aiden." His voice wa

RAGEDarek's PovI was blinded by rage and all I could see was red. Aiden had escaped! I could barely believe my ears. Of all news I had been expecting to hear that graceful morning, listening to this was absolutely not part of it.I could still remember how I had woken up with a big smile on my face and how I had raced down to meet my father, wasting no time reminding him that the day had finally come. It was finally time to kill Aiden.I could still remember how worried I had been, scared that my father would change his mind or something. I had no idea how to explain this but I had seen and heard many stories to make me conclude that strange things were bound to happen when a deed was scheduled to be done.It could be a change in the plan due to foreseen and unforeseen circumstances, or it could just be nature playing a game on you, but all I knew was I did not want such a thing happening today. I wanted Aiden dead and gone.It was already torturous to wait for the day to break to

ELDER Elder Theodore left the next day and Nicole was sorry to see him leave. She had wanted him to spend more time with her but Elder Theodore tried to make her understand that his daughter needed him.He even added that he did not think she would be needing his company anymore since she had me. What he meant by that, I could not tell but I chose to ignore him, only hugging him and bidding him farewell.If I was being honest, I did not want Elder Theodore to go too but I did not want to sound like a clinging child still tied to his mother's apron string. I wished the old man could stay longer, at least until I had adapted to this new setting.Not that being with Nicole was a bad idea, but I just didn't know how I was supposed to act around her, seeing how I had acted when she had stretched her hand forward to me for a kiss — I had asked Elder Theodore that night and he had told me I was meant to peck it.Absurd, right? But I found myself wondering how it would have felt to have my

"At first, he had tried to entice me by showing me all that I would stand to gain if I accepted his offer. According to him, his pack was large enough to accommodate us and he would be responsible for our safety, that way we wouldn't need to fight off enemies all by ourselves. That made so much sense but I could not accept it." "This pack means more to me than just being a pack. It's a remnant of Crystal pack. I can't just team up with some other pack who had no idea what we've been through. Besides, I discovered that Kappa is somehow involved with Alpha Lundamous' son. I can't have anything to do with a pack who teams up with the one pack that killed my parents." He remained quiet, not wanting to interrupt for fear that she might come to her senses and shut up her emotions like he had seen her do to others. It was a huge surprise that she was revealing all these to him and Hayden was sure she was only doing that because she thought he was someone else. Speaking out would make her r

BEEN THROUGH A LOT He was starting to feel discouraged after running for a while without any sight of the alpha.He had no idea if he had followed the exact path she had taken but he had seen some paw prints on the wet ground and had simply followed. But currently, he was beginning to doubt if those paws belonged to the alpha.Wiping the sweat that had now creased his brow, he sighed heavily, wondering if he should just return or continue his search. Would she even want to see him?After listening to Kunata say shit about him, he was not so confident about the Alpha's feelings for him anymore. Though she had not said anything bad about him — except that she would kill him if he turned out to be an enemy; his heart was still hurt by those words — Aiden didn't know how she was feeling inside.Was she beginning to have some second thoughts about him? Would she listen to Kunata and send him out of the pack? Or would she let him stay but withdraw herself from him?Surprisingly, he didn't

DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE I had been waiting for close to thirty minutes yet no sign of him. Did he think I was a joke? Had he deliberately accepted to meet me just to stand me up for hours?I raked a finger through my hair, trying to control my anger as I stood at the foot of the baobab tree we had agreed to meet at. This spot was one of the secret places we could meet and I had personally chosen it so we could have our conversation without being seen by nosy wolves in the pack.I let out a big sigh, still wondering if I had been played. Had he done this just to get back at me? I didn't want to believe that I had been stupid enough to get played on like this.To be honest, I would not be surprised if he didn't show up. Somehow, I was expecting him not to. It had been years since we last had a proper conversation and I was not sure he liked me anymore to want to be around me.Nevertheless, he should have just told me he was not going to come rather than lead me on only to abandon me to m

BURST OUTShe looked at me, her blue eyes watering as her lips quivered."I don't know. He left. He didn't want to hurt me so he left. He felt he would harm me if he remained here with me. But I don't think so. I told him we will get through this together. I know I will be able to calm him anytime he shifts. I'm not afraid of him. I love him." She burst out in tears.I stared at her, my jaw dropped in shock and surprise. What was she saying? Why would Aiden think he would hurt her?Aiden was the sweetest person I have ever known so it just didn't sit right with me that he would hurt a person. Besides, did she just say she loved Aiden? What made her think she had the right?There were so many questions I wanted to ask but the exact opposite left my lips."I don't understand.""Do you know Aiden is an Epsilon?" She wiped her tears and sniffed. She was looking at me like I should know what she was talking about but I had no idea."A what?""An Epsilon. Don't you know what that means?""A

ANYWAY He kept staring at him, finding it funny that the man would think he knew his alpha. He had mentioned her name with so much pride and he was sure he had expected him to cower at the sound. But he was not in any way afraid, in fact, he was intrigued. Intrigued by this pack with a female alpha. "Let him go, Kunata!" Alpha Velvet sighed. Kunata finally let him go, but not without squeezing his shirt a little bit tighter and growling into his face. Aiden adjusted his tunic and leaned back to the heap of stones, his golden-brown eyes on the alpha who was slowly approaching him. "I don't think you should come close to him, alpha. I strongly believe he is dangerous." "Stop it, Kunata. I can take care of myself, remember?" They were talking about him as if he wasn't there. Aiden wanted to yell at them that he was right by their side and would appreciate it if they let him be but it seemed like the words had solidified in his throat, making it difficult to get them out.

MORPHED He could not take his eyes off the bloody corpse lying all around him. The werewolves who had attacked him had now morphed back to their human forms and their bodies lay in waste, blood oozing out from various parts of their lifeless bodies. They were dead and he could not believe he had killed them. When he had threatened to feed on their corpse, he had never meant to kill them. He had only wanted to scare them off and perhaps injure them a little just to teach them some lesson, but the worst had happened. His wolf had done what it knew how to do best and it had gone ahead to rip them all apart. Aiden could still remember trying to stop his wolf from killing them, he had yelled, had even tried to morph back to his human self but all his effort had been futile because his wolf had not listened to him. It felt like they were two different entities with different minds and no matter how much he yelled, it was as though his wolf could not hear his voice. Now that he was thi

SOMEHOW It was so noisy here and the noise hurt my ears. I didn't know where I was but this was the only pack I had seen ever since I began this journey and my instinct told me Aiden must be here.Now I could not explain why I felt so strongly that he must be in this pack. I couldn't catch his scent so it could not be that but my instinct never lied, and I knew it would not start lying to me now.It had been a day since I left the Blood Moon pack after speaking to Aiden's friends. After gaining no information about Aiden's whereabouts from them, I decided to embark on my search alone.No one seemed to be worried about Aiden, including his mother. I had visited her after her release and had asked if she knew anything about her son but the omega woman had only shrugged and had said with a dreamy smile that she believed her son was okay.I could still remember how confused I had been and I had gone ahead to ask her why she was so confident. The woman had shrugged again but had remained

LIST "I said you should stop. Are you deaf?" The voice called out again and I tensed, my jaw working badly as I tried to keep calm. Whosoever it was starting to get on my nerves and it was difficult to stay calm anymore.I had never liked to be ordered around; all my life, I had been ordered around like a dog but had to endure it because I had no choice.But now, I wasn't under an alpha, neither did I belong to a pack, I was an outlaw and I would be damned if I allowed some assholes to order me around."I said you should stop!" I felt a grip on my wrist, forcefully pulling me around and before I could react, he had punched me hard in the face. I staggered but soon regained my composure.A snicker escaped my lips as I touched my nose where he had punched me. It hurt like hell and I was sure my nose was broken but I still laughed."Are you laughing?" I heard him say and I raised my head to look at my attacker.He was a tall lanky man with heavy beards and he had a scowl on his face. H

NOT A WORD I could not say a word, not because I didn't know what to say but because I was still stunned by the kiss. I had not been expecting that. It was just a slight brush but it was still a kiss."I didn't think your type still exist. The book I read said it didn't." Nicole returned to her sitting position."What are you saying?" I sat back too, still maintaining some distance in between. I didn't know what could happen so it was best I stayed away. I didn't even like that she was in the room with me. What if I shifted again? This time around, I didn't think she would survive. There would be no way for her."Nicole, I think you should leave. You can't be here with — ""Epsilon!" She cut me off."What?" My brow furrowed in confusion. "Epsi what?""You are an epsilon! Considered an extinct or extremely rare state for a werewolf to have, Epsilons or feral werewolves are created when your wolf instincts supersede your human mind, effectively turning you into an animal — forgive my l
