Unknown POV
“What do you think, Maziar? Having a tea party on my birthdays with all the werewolves around would secretly commemorate your mother’s birth as well, wouldn’t it?”
“I am truly speechless now, Alpha King Simon. I didn’t know you cherished my mom that much. It was really unfortunate that she wasn’t here to express her gratitude personally to his loving twin brother.”
Maziar tried hard to sound genuinely amused in contrast with the bulging sarcasm in his tone of voice. He didn’t want the Alpha King to become aware of his fakery and arise suspicions around him. The dreams he has for himself and his father was too fragile yet, at this moment.
“I understand. On the day your mother died in my arms, I vowed never to abandon you for the world. My son Prince Amante has his brother in you. Treat him like yours
Amante POV“You seemed anxious, Amante. Was there something bothering you?”It was my mate, Allyssa, rousing me up from my deep-thought diving. It felts like I had been spacing out for a moment by the way she tapped me at my shoulders. I shake my head to clear my self out of the chaos dwindling inside my mind.“It’s nothing to worry about, my love. The sensation I felt when I stepped in this familiar grounds seemed to take a toll on me. The memories of the past gone by keeps coming back at me like it has been awaiting and expecting my comeback. It’s just weird!”“You are the true and only Alpha King of this pack. The territory must have sensed it and was trying to connect with you. Don’t fight it. Embrace your pack, your sovereignty, and your destiny as the Ultimate Alpha King.”Allyssa’s words offered m
Amante POVIt was almost midnight. The cauldron-black sky was adorned by a few faintly sparkling stars and the heavy clouds half-covered moon. Its vague brightness feels gloomy with the shadows of snowflakes raining scarcely down the frozen grounds of Verte Monde. The chilly breeze was howling in the distance adding more mystery to the almost tranquil territory of the hidden werewolves’ clan.As my group entered the barren but already opened gates of the village, I sensed it. There were dangers, concealed and lurking in the dark. I was alarmed by the intensity of it that I warned my companions in a haste. Right on time indeed, as the elder wolf leading our group in the front ducked down, the irritating scent of gunpowder coming from a loose, hissing bullet from one of the buildings ahead of us. It was empowered by a powdered silver!Guns, as human beings called it, were
Amante POV“Come out now, Maziar. I came to take back what you have stolen from me. You know very well whom the crown of Alpha King truly belongs to. How dare you lust on something you were never meant to have? Let’s try to settle these misunderstandings between us two, on behalf of my father, Alpha King Simon’s wish for us to treat each other like real brothers do. Or have you forgotten about it because of your blinded desires and foolish dreams?”I shouted my resolve to deal with the traitor face to face, one on one. It’s an open challenge for someone claiming my title as the Alpha King. It should entice him out because his reputation as well as self-entitlement should be put in consideration by now. He sure would die by my hands if he happened to lose a screw on his idiotic brain and face me on a futile duel. Even so, his refusal to accept the challen
I felt weakened. The poison of the wolfbane that gathered on the back of my wolf body was making me losing my grip on my flickering sense of consciousness. There’s a limit for everything, I believe religiously. A small amount of the lethal poison would be manageable for me, but my perpetrators must have been ever so generous on pouring a dangerous amount of wolfbane on me. The intention was evident. He truly and fatefully wanted me dead!Maziar Brennan! He was the only one who would stoop down to this level of trickery. He spared not a second of doubt in his resolve to get rid of me. The trap he successfully concealed below the ground was worth an applause of the crowd. I myself did not even thought it would be possible, or shall I say, I was too consumed by my desire to get a hold of that traitor that I failed to think things over and fell exactly and miserably on such traditional and old fashioned trap.“Amante, are you okay?”It was Allyssa&
Amante POVAlthough doubts were creeping inside my hesitant mind, I heeded on Amaltheo’s persistence to test out on my new powers, if I truly have any. No need to bother on transforming back into my human form. I would die a wolf frozen underneath the glaciers just in case Vodyanoy failed to blend his abilities on me. There were intense fluttering inside my chest for the excitement on the most anticipated discovery.I focused my weight on my head and dive down the water. It was instinct to hold one’s breath when going under the water, right? And that was what exactly I did, that made my spirit wolf mocked me and laugh out loud at my silliness.“How are we supposed to know if you have now the ability to breath under the water if you keep holding on to your precious breath? Your lungs, which by the way happened to be my lungs as well, feels terrible right now. Its abou
Amante POVLined up in front of me were the captured remnants of the traitor, Maziar Brennan. Alpha Mayor and Allyssa had finished gotten rid of all the bombs scattered around the territory. The huge amount of it all was enough to annihilate all werewolves, my group and his all the same, and change the landscape of Verte Monde as ell as the entire Antarctica.He vanished into the darkness as soon as the battle turned out to be unfavorable to him, abandoning his so-called followers who foolishly stayed behind to et him escape, and firing up his traps. It was great news that the bombs were subdued even before they explode, or else, who knows? I bet nobody in this area would be able to escape from the claws of death.One thing more that confuses me was these idiots who were left behind to set the bombs off. Their lives were put on the line as well, haven’t the
Amante POV“I will always be with you, Amante, no matter what! So please, do not worry that much about Maziar. Now that you have the ability to transport yourself to a certain place your heart desires, it would be only a matter of time before found him and make him pay for all his sins. You hold now the power above all creatures. You are more than just an ordinary Alpha King! Maziar must have been aware of that, that was why he escaped. It only shows his hesitation to take on you face to face. You have the upper hand over that traitor!”A long explanation from my mate, Allyssa, made me felt calmer and at eased. The heaviness inside my thumping chest ceases from its frantic throbbing. We were at the open and barren area that used to be the training grounds of the pack.Twilight it was, the surroundings seemed to sparkle as snow flakes dances around, be
Amante POVIt was already mid-afternoon when I woke up. The snowy scene outside the window was refreshing to my eyes. Allyssa was nowhere to be seen, so I called her out thru mind link.“Down here at the storage building. Kelvin’s with me. He’s going to cut open an adult moose for his friend Lyka. You must see this. I think he found his mate way too early. His full of vigor in doing chores for the little she-pup.”I heard Allyssa giggled in excitement, and I could not help but smile as well. She sounded so relaxed and cheerful. Her calm behavior over the weighty dilemma I thought would drag us both down, made me feel thankful and lucky for having Allyssa Lausanne as my mate, my wife, and partner in life.Time to move myself up to the shower. I would need to freshen up before going down and meet my wife, even though the
A year later, under the glorious moonlight, two shadows can be seen lurking at the top of Empire State Building in New York, USA. It was Amante with his mate Allyssa. They were observing the people gathered below for the New Year’s eve celebration. Right after the magnificent fireworks display, they stared at each other with generous smiles plastered on their faces. “Time has come, my love! I’m happy to be here beside you right now!” Amante whispered lovingly on his wife’s ears. Allyssa giggled like love-struck teenager when she felt butterflies in her stomach because of her husband’s words. “I love you!” was all she could answer to that. They lovingly wrapped each other in tight embrace. Amante mind linked his Beta, the eleven year old Kelvin who showed him that age was nothing but a number. “Everybody on their places, Beta Kelvin?” “Aye, Alpha King Amante! W
Amante POV “Take a look at that, Maziar. Those were the human beings werewolves have been wary about all their lives. Most of them does not even believe our kinds do exist.” We were at the city center, fitting ourselves with the bustling people around. I could sense Maziar’s discomfort. He was extremely anxious. “Serves him right.” The amusement in Amaltheo’s chuckle made me smile unconsciously. I turned towards the corner of a street where a street performance seemed to have caught everyone’s attention. Maziar followed behind hesitantly. I was not bothered by the idea that he might try to escape, and I guess, he knows why. As the night started to fade away, the crowd on the streets finally began to diminish as people go their separate ways. “See that, Maziar? Nobody notices our existence within the human populace. There was not a reason to hibernate in that barren, frozen la
Amante POV“Come with me, Maziar. I can show you the world, the real world I wanted to conquer the most.”Although I haven’t tried it myself, an idea of transporting with someone from place to place has a good impression on me.And because this was just a trial and error phase, there’s no one other than Maziar Brennan who fitted the most as my companion.I could boast my powers right in front of his sulking face and I could simply ditch him somewhere barren to die alone and miserable.The look on his face was satisfying.This time I’ve transformed back into my human form and I quickly grabbed him by the neck. There would be no place for him to but with me.With nothing on, I did not hesitate to summon my teleportation power. I know the place very well, so there was nothing to worry about being seen by another in my nakedness.The electricity travelled all t
Amante POVHaving been a quisling myself, I’ve masterfully acquired the tacit ways to get someone fooled; one, was to make the fool believe what isn’t true, and, the other was to make the truth as unbearable misery as possible that the ignorant would refuse to believe it himself.Maziar Brennan has the nerve to put me in such dilemma.If his goal was to plant doubts and mislead me, he had already succeeded halfway.My rationality was clouded with his poisonous truth, so intense that I almost found myself collapsing on the ground.I never wanted to be seen weak and vulnerable. It was degrading on my part to slump like the whole world has fallen down on me.But what else could be done?Maziar Brennan.The traitor that dared to kill me, stole from me, and challenged my ascendency was my first and only blood cousin!I have always thought I was the last of all Del Fuegos.
Amante POVMaziar Brennan remained silent for a while longer. He seemed to be on his own world, contemplating on his next move. Even his followers were quiet and did not attempt to move a bit far from where I found them when I first appeared in front of them. I kept myself at bay, taking the risk of being too exposed but not at the mercy of any werewolves who would dare challenge me.Amaltheo, my spirit wolf on his glorious magnificence, was totally intimidating and looking as menacing as possible without much effort. The silver fur was glistening at the flickering firecrackers made by the bonfire at the center of the cave. The calf they were roasting was burnt for being left untouched from the fire consuming its shrunk meat. No one cared, or if there might be, they forcefully convinced themselves to stay away and let it burn and
Amante POVIt would remain a mystery on me how Maziar Brennan became the traitor I have been before. It was the tag I used to carry discreetly all through out the years I stayed with the Irati Nardus Pack. The things I did, the secrets I hide, and the betrayals I concealed before become his to endure, and as charged to my past experiences, it would lead him to nowhere but doom.There were so many things I would like to ask him. I should have it all written down on a piece of paper so it would have been easier for me, as I only needed to read it aloud. It was because, right now, I suddenly felt stupefied in front of him. I maybe as stunned as his petrified condition which made us both silent for a couple of seconds.Only the cracklings of the burning firewood and the heavy breathing of the werewolves inside this cave was the only noise that echoes around. Rather than attacking me as I had an
Amante POV“I would go and confront the traitor, Maziar Brennan, all by myself!”My words were instantly shunned with exasperated gasps from everyone, most especially my mate, Allyssa Lausanne. She jerked out of my arms with shaken standpoint.“What are you talking about? You know very well that I would never let you do this without me by your side. What were you thinking, huh, Amante?”Her voice were filled with disappointments and disbelief. I have already anticipated her extreme reactions way before I have even got the chance to voice out my perceptions on the problems we were facing because of Maziar. There would be no other way out of this, but to patiently persuade her to comply, as this would be the only chance we got to ensure the success of capturing the rotten bastard.“Calm down and hear me away first, Allyssa!”I have never tried to use
Amante POVAs the night deepens, the discussion went on. Allyssa come before in time when I was about to ask about Omega Irna.“We found out that Irna was killed when she returned to the pack, and Maziar ordered Roman to drop her body along with the others, in the trap sink hole for our group. How do everyone reacted? Does any one of you aware that she was the one who really killed Marina?”Alpha Vincent shifted nervously before replying to Allyssa. His anxiety was visibly pasted on his flustered face.“I would start by begging for forgiveness. I am truly sorry, Luna Allyssa, but the truth was, except for Alpha Mayor who was settled at the island of Cape Narciso, everyone knows that you were not really to blame for Marina's death. Despite that, we proceeded on your unfair trial. The council was convinced that it was the best way to get rid of you or at least get you kicked out of
Amante POVIt was getting dark outside when we finished cooking up the moose meat. The whole process was filled with laughter and I enjoyed every second of it. We were like a real family having the best day of their lives together in the most common yet fulfilling corner of the house, the kitchen.As we started moving out, I scanned my surroundings. The bright moon had half appeared behind the darkened clouds. It was not very common to see stars in the sky of Antarctica. It was simply because of the harsh and most often violent climate of the weather. In here, the snow does not stop pouring throughout the year.I felt the chilly breeze from the icy squalls that dances along with the gentle wind.Mixed with the pungent and familiar scents of my packmates was the savory aroma of the roasted meat prepared by Kelvin for his sickly friend Lyka, the unica hija of the former Beta of Alpha K
