On a normal day, there’s no way I could ever dream of joining the soldiers for hunting. I considered it a male activity and it wasn’t even interesting to me. After eating, I said thank you to Tatiana and she smiled. She was glad that she could be of help. “Oh don’t mention my dear,” she replied, smiling and exposing her white set of teeth. She liked to smile a lot, maybe that was what made Alex like her. I kept on thinking and imagining crazy ideas till Alpha Alex patted me on the back and I came back to my senses. “Hey dear, hope you good now?” He asked with a genuine and warm smile. His sudden touch startled me as I had been lost in thoughts.“Yeah sure thanks,” I replied, returning the smile.Alpha Alex shook his head and asked us to continue the hunting. “Okay ladies, now that we’re all physically fit, let’s continue our hunting shall we?” He asked with a tone of enthusiasm. I replied to him saying that I was ready and Tatiana did the same. The food was so filling and satis
Exalia’s POV.We continued to hunt and it was getting more and more interesting, Alpha Alex soo started teaching Tatiana and I how to hunt.He seemed to have calmed down but we could only be grateful for it. Minutes later, I caught sight of a hare in the distance and I pointed to Alex and showed it to him. He smiled and brought out his arrows and then he handed them to Tatiana. “Here, take this.” He muttered. Tatiana looked at him in surprise.“What do I do with these?” She asked, unsure of what to even do with herself.Alpha Alex smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up sign with his finger. Then he took a deep breath and started his explanation. “You see that animal?” He asked, pointing to the direction of the hare I had shown him minutes ago. Tatiana turned and faced the direction he was pointing at, then she nodded her head in agreement. “Okay great,” replied Alpba Alex and then he took a deep breath. “So I want you to aim carefully at it and strike it dead.” He said, being a
Exalia’s POVAs the last attacker dropped dead, the rest of the soldiers ran into the scene immediately, they were fully charged and on high alert but they had missed the whole fight, they came pretty late.“Alpha! Alpha!” Alex’s Beta and Gamma yelled as they rushed to meet him where he stood lost in thoughts and obviously angry.“Alpha, we came as soon as we felt it, we could feel their prescence from afar.” His Gamma said with some much passion.Alpha Alex raised his brow and stared at him like he was going to say something then I cut in. “What kind of prescence did you feel?” I asked, wanting to make sure that it was exactly what I felt.Alex looked at me and then looked back at his Gamma who started explaining the kind of prescence they felt immediately.It was like an otherworldly prescence, the atmosphere became suddenly dense and we could catch a strange scent in the air but we weren’t sure what it was.” “Hmmm,” Alpha Alex said, his countenance low and worrisome.“Other world
Exalia’s POV The tension in the packhouse was suffocating. People were panicking here and there, and there was a lot of helter skelter all around. There was fear and uncertainty every where and a few critics started to blame Alpha Alex’s government and loose trust and confidence in it. After the woman’s cryptic words, Alex had doubled and Infact tripled the security around the territory, he was a bit nervous and agitated. It was obvious that he didn’t trust her, and neither did I, but her words haunted me. Her words were so real and there was actually some proof and evidence to back up what she saw saying. She wasn’t just talking, I could feel that that she meant every bit of what she said. Alpha Alex knew this too, that was why he took my advice and doubled the security all around the kingdom. He knew better than to disregard my talk. “You’re more than just a wolf…” These words kept on ringing in my head, every minute, every second and every moment. I just couldn’t g
Exalia’s POV.The old physician walked towards me, I became more nervous and terrified than usual. When he got close to me, he held his hands up to touch my forehead, it was like he was trying to meditate and read my mind or see visions about me. I started to panic and he stopped immediately, he looked at me and told me to stop panicking.“Hey, I know you’re scared my dear. I know it’s a lot to take in and you feel like you’re weird but just calm down, this is your pack and we’re here for you.” I looked at him and I felt so much emotion, I wanted to start crying. This was probably the best thing I had heard in days and it really gave me comfort. I looked around at the faces of the audience, they all stared at me in anticipation. I don’t even know what the anticipation was all about, even Alex was staring at me with a mixture of warmth as cold written in the expression on his face.I looked around again and I saw Mabel staring at me. Our eyes met and she winked at me, “ you got
Exalia’s pov That night as I lay in my chambers, I felt very cringe. I felt like a psychopath and as if I was mad. I felt different from others. Mabel was with me throughout, she gave me all the support and attention I needed.“My lady, please stop what you’re doing to yourself, I don’t like how sad and miserable you look.” Mabel said to me, so much care and concern in her eyes.I looked at my little girl and sighed, she would never understand what it feels like to be an outcast, to be different from others.“Mabel, I really appreciate your concern okay,” I said, forcing a smile. I wanted her to think I was okay.“My lady, you’re special. You being a white wolf means that you’re the greatest and most powerful among us, you ought to be proud of yourself.” Mabel said as she looked at me non stop.“I know right,” I replied and I smiled again.“Not when our pack is under siege because of me. We’re going to be attacked, there are signs of war and lives might be lost just because of one pe
Exalia’s Pov.That evening, Alpha Alex came back tired and a little sober. His face was pale and he looked very stressed out. “Alex.” I called his name, moving forward to meet him, he looked at me and sighed.“Exalia my love.” He said, a weary but smiling face. I looked at him and examined his body.He had minor injuries but they were already healing. Nevertheless, his body was dirty and he needed a shower. “How did it go?” I asked with genuine concern and Alex looked at me and smiled.It was obvious that it went but I still wanted to ask and hear the good news from the horse’s mouth.“It went well, but it was not easy at all. We were able to eliminate most of the intruders but a couple of them escaped and I’m not really happy about that.” He murmured, and hissed.I stared at him with so much admiration as my brain prepared what to say in reply to his statement. Despite the fact that he was battered, bruised and looked very dirty. He was very cute and handsome and had the gaet and
Tension had started to rise in the pack as news had spread that there was an attack and Alpha Alex and some of his scouts had successfully eliminated a large number of the intruders.They even talked about the letter that the enemies had left, asking Alex to release the “white wolf” or the next attack was going to be bloody. All of these news started to fly around, even rumors were flying around, both true and untrue. That morning, I decided to take a stroll to the garden. My intention was to take some time to myself and meditate. I wanted to do yoga and connect spiritually. As I walked through the palace compound, I noticed the way a few people stared at me and murmured to themselves.It was obvious that they were not saying nice things at all. I heard one person tell the other that I was the weird lady that had bewitched the Alpha into loving me and I wanted to destroy the pack and the whole kingdom.The things they said were so painful that it could tear me apart but I was al
Alex’s pov .As the young lad departed, his figure disappearing into the forest, I went back to inspect the sanitation of the cities and districts.My heart was very heavy but I reminded myself to have hope always, because as far as there was life, there was hope.With each step I took, my steps became lighter and I could feel that a part of me was reaching out to her. I could feel that we would be united and together once more and never to separate again. Saturday went on and throughout the period, my thoughts were a hundred percent with Exalia.All I could think of was the sweet, loving and romantic memories we shared, times when she would kiss me and tell me that she would always be there for me.I could picture her reading my letter, surely she would feel the same mixture of joy and sorrow while she read it. I could feel the connection between us and it grew stronger and stronger, it was so strong that no force could break or come in between. The evening air was very cool and c
Alex’s pov.Alex’s letter.It was Saturday and it was a work and rest day.Also, it was the last Saturday of the month, and that meant that it was the monthly Environmental Sanitation Day.This was a ritual sanitation that was done throughout the whole pack every last Saturday of the month and today was one of such days.I was out early, to oversee the day’s activities and make sure that every region and corner of the pack was taken care of and cleaned, all the dirts and refuse were removed and discarded appropriately.But thinking about it deeply, one could observe and notice that there was something about this work.There was something grounding about watching all members of our pack come together and put in effort for us to achieve a common good goal.I was in the process of organizing a particular group of young lads and girls to clean a river bank that had been dirty for weeks when a sudden commotion from a distance caught my attention instantly.A young lad, apparently a dispatc
Alex’s pov"Hey Alex, the love my life. How are you doing? Well you know you’re fine but I want to let you know that I’ve missed you so much.” I paused and looked at the letter I was writing, I thought about what next to say, and then I took a deep breath and continued writing.“Staying here has not been easy, I have experienced a lot in the short span of a month but I just got to keep going. As I grow stronger here day by day, I simply realize how much I need your strength, love and support by my side, i must confess that it has not been easy without you. Nevertheless,I am learning so much and that’s on period, Alex, but learning without you by my side to tell me congratulations and cheer me up feels so incomplete. I love you so much Alex, I really do. And I count the moments until I can return home to your arms once more."I paused again and looked at the letter I had just written, then I took a deep breath and read it out again. I made so changes and corrections and edited the
Exalia’s pov It had been almost a month and two weeks since I had left my home pack to the Lunari kingdom.Ever since I got there, I had been receiving intensive training and preparations for the coming rituals ceremony that would crown me as the empress of the Lunari and break the tribe from the curse so that they would be finally free.The training with the Lunari was intensive and very very rigorous,each day it was from training to training and excercise to excercise.They made me push to my limits that I never knew I could even get to. I was taught a lot of things, like the ancient art and skill of harnessing lunar energy, I was taught the art of shifting into werewolf form with both grace and power. I was even taught the secretes of lineage and they flowed into me like a river. I was a fast learner and surely I was learning very fast, Eldric had told me that after my training and the rituals have been performed, I was free to go back to my pack provided i come and visit once
Alex’s pov.Marcus described the offensive tactics that our military often employed, he detailed vividly, how we would use our terrain and make use of the popularly used element of surprise, together with the combined valour and might of all our military units. “This is great work you have put up Marcus, I’m proud of you.” I said to him and he smiled and said thanks, and he continued his explanation.“If there is an attack, we would envelope the enemy using Skirmishers to flank them while the vanguard will push forward, this would cause great confusion and allow our military to go ahead and exploit the weaknesses in the enemy formation.”I listened attentively to what Marcus had been saying and I could do was smile in pride at the smartness and strength of my military.In my mind's eye, I pictured everything he was saying. “What if we are caught off guard?” I asked in anticipation, and Marcus had the exact answer.“If we are caught off guard, we would fall back to our strong base dow
Alex’s pov Soon, the meat was on fire and as the aroma of cooking meat started to fill the air, I started feeling a deep sense of contentment and satisfaction. Apparently, this feeling came not just from the hunt or the meal it was going to provide for me, it rather came from the fact that I had renewed my bond with the wild. That was the very essence of being a werewolf and an Alpha for that matter, and I was happy and felt proud of myself.This morning’s feeding was not just my body that I fed,I also fed my spirit. I reconnected with the primal animal instincts, I reconnected with the pack, and most importantly, I reconnected with the land that was ours.This was something I needed to do more often.After breakfast, I commend the cooks for cooking such a beautiful and delicious meal. They blushed and thanked me, with surprise in their faces, it wasn’t all the time I smiled and played with my staff.I walked to the barracks to see what was happening there, a few soldiers were t
Alex’s pov.After taking another bath, I decided to walk out of my room and go outside to take a stroll. It was definitely something I could do, especially as it was still evening. As I stepped outside my room, I bumped into Marcus, and he was just looking at me.His eyes widened slowly and he stared at me in a way that showed surprise. He had definitely seen the change in me ."Wow Alpha, I almost didn’t recognize you, you look... different," he said, still staring at me, his tone a mix of surprise, awe and curiosity.I smiled as I felt the truth of his observations vibrate through my body.“Marcus, I feel so different. I spent time meditating and focused on enhancing every single aspect of what we are, I feel I have awakened something from within.”Marcus looked at me, smiled and nodded, his gaze started to assess, maybe he was even gauging if I was ready for what was to come. "Alpha Alex, Your aura, it's stronger and very much more vibrant than it used to be. I can feel it."“Wel
Alex’s pov.“Okay we’re all going to make this our number one priority, I hope that’s clear?“ I said with a tone of command and they both nodded. “One more thing, while we’re at it, I want you guys to provide me with a list of all the local governments and villages that fall within our kingdom and pack.”“Okay?” Lena said, somewhat surprised that I was making such a request. “I want to make sure that they’re all getting the social amenities that they deserve, no one should suffer from lack or underdevelopment.” As they both went to carry out my instructions, I just sat back on my chair, I looked around at the whole bunch of responsibilities before me, it was definitely not easy being an Alpha. Most people would think it was just an easy task but not until they tried it out. This wasn’t just governance, In Fact it was more than just governance, this was about caring for every single pack member and ensuring that they were comfortable and living the best standard.This was my respo
Alex’s povThe next day, I woke up at the same time with the sun. I was feeling happy and sweet as I had had a wonderful night's rest. The sun’s rays were so sharp and bright that it pierced through the heavy walls and penetrated through the curtains of my chambers. It brought in illumination and a big surge of energy into my room. I felt so happy and alive. Do you know the kind of vigor and joy that comes with knowing you're where you're meant to be, doing what you're meant to do? No, I don’t think anyone knew that feeling except me. I stretched my arms and then after a few seconds, I made my way to the balcony. This was my special balcony and it was located at the topmost floor of the palace, just close to my room. The cool morning air was so refreshing and cold and for a moment, I thought I would catch a cold.From the balcony high above, I looked down below at the pack, to the beautiful sight of our kingdom. The site was so magnificent and beautiful and the grass stretch
