Alex's POV(…a secret potion)A sounding slap fell on his face immediately he entered the great hall. Her eyes were reddened with baggy lids, which only meant one thing—she had been devoid of sleep. The whole aura on her was nothing close to cheerful—even her hair hung gloomily at her back.That he didn't feel the pain would be an understatement as she smote him on the face the second time. He made no reaction, looking away from her in the direction where the strike led him to.“What has come over you?!“, the Luna shouted. Thankfully, no guards were on sight.The next question that came to his mind was, “What have you done to her too?“, but he held his peace anticipating the worse thing that could befall him since he thought the worst had already happened. “Why do you seek to ruin everything your father built with his life!? How do you intend to govern the affairs of the region if you can't manage your personal affair?! What have you grown to become? A beast? or a coward? How do we
Alex's POV(…a new ability)He heard faded stamps and a cold press on the left side of his face. Two slim legs kept sweeping past his blurry gaze. He shut his eyes slowly again. As he flipped it open, Lucia's face came close to his, waving her hands over him as though confirming his state.Alex lifted his body in a hurry. He remembered his last sight when Lucia gave a mischievous smile,“ Right about time”, she smirked, walking back towards the tiled counter. “You trust so much in your strength. Sometimes, all you need is a little less pride”Alex rose to his feet, gaining full control of his body. He felt embarrassed and remained silent. His respect for her had grown after seeing her special abilities in display, wild enough to knock him out.“Just a drop of this should do”, she remarked, rather to herself.The two flask were filled with bright green mixture that seemed like it had been boiled for minutes as she wore a thick glove, dispensing the liquid into tiny bottles and arrangin
Alex’s POV(…a raging war)Lucia ran into the bathroom and came out with a damp white towel. She placed it on the Alpha’s forehead as they all watched in horror for the slightest body movement but, there was no response. “We have to call the doctor”, the Luna panicked already dialing the telephone.Alex ran towards her, snatching the receiver from her hands, “We’ve to protect Lucia, mother”, he affirmed, holding her tight in his embrace as she struggled to free her self. His heart broke at the whimpering of his mother and the lifeless body of the Alpha—he could do nothing to save the moment. “You expect me to watch him die?!”, she yelled. “You prefer to watch your father die, Alex?”, she continued her display of grief when Lucia’s voice overpowered hers,“He just moved a finger!”Alex moved towards the bed as the Luna pushed him out of her way. She placed his large palms into hers and began stroking the back of his palm, as though trying to produce heat. The Alpha sneezed loudly a
Alex's POV(…a dangerous escape)“Don’t let him escape!”, Charles voice rang all over the forest from behind as he tried to free himself from the weight of the vehicle above him. Alex who had the special ability to shapeshift at any time transformed into his usual large crimson wolf form and dashed through the woods to catch up with the wolf. It seemed faster than the usual rogues Alex had attacked in previous times. The thickness of the forest trees made it difficult for him to get a clear view of the rogue as it jumped swiftly on tree branches. The clashing metals from the prisoner and the faint smell of the rogue were the only way Alex managed to trace the rogue. His sight was twice sharper than the usual as he scanned through the area in 360 view. He heard a light ruffling of leaves and followed the sound. He got a distant view of the rogue and ran as fast as he could till he was at close range. Immediately he grabbed him by the shoulder and smacked him hard to the ground. The pri
Alex's POV(…a horrible visit) The giant fisted on the grip of the captive as he held on tight to Alex’s neck, who had begun to feel giddy. Alex could only hear the hungry growl of the creature behind him and felt someone pulling his suspended legs. An explosive sound vibrated the walls and he dropped immediately to the cracked floor. Alex instinctively crawled away from the bars as he massaged the sharp pain in his neck. Although the injury closed up almost instantly, he still felt the tightness around his neck. Charles helped him back to his feet as Alex beheld the creature that tried to strangle him to death. The giant had struck him with a temporary shot that made it lay still in its cell. “They can smell fresh blood”, the Giant remarked in a deep coarse voice as he watched Alex. “This particular one”, he pointed at the creature, “has been here for over fifty years. There are other ferocious ones than it but not in this section. Sorry about the attack”, he apologized.Alex nodd
Alex's POV(…a suspicious unfold)Alex froze as soon as she spoke. He made eye contact with the Luna, who gave him a thoughtful look before walking away and leaving him to handle the situation by himself.“You had a fight with the Luna?”, she asked, watching the Luna exit their sight. Alex sighed heavily, trying hard to snap out of the shock. The Luna killed Sherlyn. How improper?“Alex?”, Lucia was forced to wriggle his hands to draw back his attention. “It’s nothing to worry about. The usual mother and son disagreement”, he replied, excusing himself from the scene.“You’re hiding things from me again”, Lucia hissed at the back. “Can’t you just be straight forward for once?”Alex continued his way out without turning around .“You worry too much, Lucia. Give yourself a break”, he responded flatly. She grunted. ***The alpha sat alone at the table, helping himself to a plate of French toast and a cup of coffee smoothie. Alex bowed before pulling out a seat for himself. The Alpha
Alex's POV(…a hidden curse) “Son”, the Alpha called out to Alex from the passenger’s seat—he sat beside the driver, “Are you also of the popular notion that my judgements are too brutal?”Alex thought for a second, before replying, “No, father. I’ve never known you to be partial. Whatever an offender receives from you must have been duly deserved” “I’m surprised to hear that from you. Your reaction to my verdict at the dungeon said otherwise”, the Alpha remarked, returning Alex’s glance in the rare mirror. “We have a pending discussion, son”, since your mother wouldn’t tell me, I’ll love to hear directly from you”Alex’s heart had begun its usual sprint. It happens mostly when the Alpha spoke suspenseful. “If you could remember, during the days of my brief illness, I asked a question. I still await your reply.”Alex was wrong to have thought his father didn’t notice his absence when he was bedridden. He inhaled slowly, to suppress the movement of his panting heart. He had to say s
Alex's POV(…deadly mission)Alex stood in the shower for hours. The distance of the dungeon and its gloom was scary in the day, how much more at night? The Luna had warned him about Sherlyn after saving him from his father’s wrath. Lucia was overly worrisome—she might raise another alarm. Here he was, thinking of another flight—and not just an ordinary flight, the release of a prisoner, for the sake of a banished member. An impossible venture it seemed. He brushed his wet hair countlessly, making frequent bubbles with the streams of water flowing to the parting of his lips.If only the maid hadn’t escaped, he wouldn’t have so much worry.An alternative solution lit in his head. What if he tries to convince the Alpha from killing him to buy him time for a well thought-out plan? But he had no valid reason for such suggestions. It was pointless—he either backs out completely and allow Sherlyn continue suffering for his mistakes or bring more troubles upon himself—he had always blamed h
A peaceful reign, a peaceful pack with the strongest of its kind. Meagan's father, Williams passed on happily after witnessing his daughter's ceremony. Congratulatory letters flew in daily from all parts of the region. The Alpha had gotten tired of reading through as she stumbled on a random note. “Congratulations Alpha. I'm glad you picked him over me but, I hope you don't regret your decisions soon. Cheers. Ray.”She smiled at the paper and squeezed it happily into the thrash. She had never regretted her decision. Her mate loved her even more than herself. “It still surprises me how you walked straight to me and said those words. I must have had a great resemblance with a simp. I couldn't hold back my tears,” Jason remarked as they held hands towards the pool. “I couldn't get over your mysterious eyes,”she replied with a chuckle. “What would have happened if I had rejected you instead?““I would be happy for you either ways. I didn't pass as the right mate for you after all my Fat
Meagan's POV(…the final battle)Larry continued to laugh hysterically until he emptied the keg. He climbed up the ladder as Meagan continued to hit her body against the glass until she transformed into her wolf form. “Rot in hades!“ Larry yelled from above the ladder as an lgnited lighter hit the ground. The fire traced the diesel so fast that the room was soon covered in a burning smoke. Meagan had mindlinked the pack and the warriors about Larry as she ordered for a rescue team. She kept on the attempt on the glass that was covered in flames as her body began to feel the intense heat. Her newly found father was lying helpless, holding on to his chest as he coughed vigorously. “The fire is alot. We can't get in, Alpha,” the leader of the rescue team mindlinked her as she hoped for the glass to give way to her hit. Finally, the glass began to crack as she increased her force. A massive fire extinguisher filled the room. The wolf that had come to their rescue joined in breaking down t
Meagan's POV(the first female Alpha)It was one night away from her enthronement. She had been receiving dignitaries from neighbouring packs as she helped in restoring their peace. Her life was more than perfect, or at least, better than what it used to be. She got an apartment for Ray pending the day of her enthronement as she thought to mark her mate the same night she became the Alpha.“We need to prepare the pyramid grounds and wash it clean. I will be away for a while, Alpha,” Larry announced to her one evening and left. She entered her room and prepared for a good rest. The thoughts of her enthronement has consumed her mind. What if she failed her mission? What If the moon goddess doesn't grant her the title? There was one person she could ring to feel better. She reached out for her phone and dialed Ray's number. They spoke for hours long until it encroached into her sleeping time. There was never a dull moment with Ray. A sharp movement from the outside of her windows distrac
Meagan's POV(…fated to two mates)She tried to retain her stern look but his sheepish look wasn't helping. How can she be heating for a monster like him? If you have nothing to say then, I'll pass my judgement” she announced again, in a bid to trigger a reaction but he kept on smiling at her as one who was at the verge of suffering a terrible mental relapse. “Don't kill him. Send him to the dungeon instead,” Arya remarked as she contemplated what verdict she was to pass. Trix had been away for a while, so Arya had been in control of her all along. She made up her mind and commanded, “Chain in down in the dungeons until he dies a natural death.“ The guards, whom she was yet to familiarize with, bowed before her and took out Xavier. She didn't know what to do with Jason yet, so she instructed him to be locked up with his father, until she had decided on what to do. “Congratulations, Meagan. Your mother must be beaming with pride from above,” Arya encouraged as she stared mistly at the
Jason's POV(…the last heir)“What do you think you're doing, son?“ the Alpha mindlinked him as they ceased normal communication. “Do you know how hard I've worked to get the throne? Do you know how powerful I've become amidst other neighboring packs? You must be out of your mind.““I'm out of my mind. I love her, father and I love you too. I can't leave anyone of you. It's the only way to avoid a heated war.““There would be no war if we kill her before her abilities return back and we both know it would be twice her previous power. It's a stupid idea to keep such a threat.““You asked for a mate—”The alpha interrupted, “Yes. I wanted a mate for you, not an Omega. This would never happen. I would rather die of my illness that watch her become the Alpha of the pack.““But, If she becomes my mate, we can both lead the pack. She would be a strong woman. Please, father. She has agreed. This is my one chance to lead a peaceful life like you always wanted. I'll never find a mate in anothe
Meagan's POV(…unexpected accomplice)“Who are you?“ Meagan asked, regretting why she was too weak to find out herself as the now human stranger refused to cease from patting her hair. “I wouldn't reveal my identity until you grant my request. You would want nothing from me if you ever find out but, my wish is that you don't see me as you used to.“Meagan was sure it wasn't Ray but it had a close resemblance to Larry's voice, only with a touch youthfulness and pain. “I'll tell a short story and therafter you can do whatever you want with me, and the baby. Shall I proceed?“Meagan, who knew her choices were limited, agreed, “Yes.““A girl child was raised by a single mother and grew up to hate males, after assuming all men were alike. She treated every man she knew with contempt until she met a man whom she loved so dearly. But, the man she loved was an enemy to her mother. But soon, she realized her mother was the enemy. Not to forget that this man was severely tortured by her mother
Meagan's POV(…under the full moon)“I've just two questions for you. Firstly, how did you find out about my weakness to human blood? Secondly, how did you find your way into my room that night? You've two minutes to respond,” Jason raged as red spark flew across his watery eyes Meagan was confused. She had no idea of what he accused her of. “Don't give me that innocent look. It's the same crime you're been punished for. I want to know the others involved. You couldn't have done it alone and I'll make sure everyone involved is brought to book. So, start talking.““I was never in your room and I know nothing of your weakness.”“The CCTV coverage found you on the corridor that night. It's pointless to lie to cover up for anyone or do you want to suffer alone? Speak!“Meagan realized she was framed for a different offense she never committed. “I didn't enter your room that night. It was the kitchen. I don't know anything about it.“Jason gave her a long stare as though realizing a conn
Meagan's POV (…childhood crush turns mate) He paused abruptly on hearing her voice. “How did you know that?“ “I had a best friend when I was in the human community. We attended the same school until…” Meagan's words turned into a bitter wail as she remembered how much she had suffered for years. “It's nothing. Life has never been fair to my family,” she concluded as she gulped down the few drops of water she had for the day. “Meagan?“ the man called out as he wore a confused look approaching her slowly. They both held their gaze on eachother as they realized the truth. “Is this really you?“ He squatted in front of her as they both gaped at each other. “How did you get here? How long have you worked with the Alpha?“ She asked as they collapsed into a hug. “Goodness! Meagan. It's hard to believe. You disappeared for a long time without notice only to find you in this condition? How did it happen?" "it's a long sad story, Ray. I don't wanna talk about it" "I can't watch you
Meagan's POV(…Trix reacts)She instinctively looked around her. Jason was truly nowhere to be found. How did the Alpha find out? she asked herself as she made sure there were no traces on the night of her escapade. At first, Meagan tried to comfort herself as she knew it had been impossible for the Alpha to terminate her life because of her powers which Larry attested to. “I kept you alive to breed my pack but you don't deserve to live. You're just like your kind. I should have known better then to keep you alive.“ “Are you just going to sit there without taking actions? If Jason is Ill then the potion Larry talked about is working,” Trix remarked violently as Meagan bowed still, dreading the Alpha's next move. “He can't hurt you, remember? This might be your only chance to get him out of the way and allow the kingdom bow to a new alpha. Do it, Meagan,” Trix ordered as she began to stir her up while the Alpha continued a show of emotional outburst. “Remember Larry said the action de
