Exalia’s pov. The weird old woman smiled, it was kind of like a knowing and sad smile, her face became sober as if she was losing all hope. “Exalia child, something is coming, and that something will require you to be fully prepared and be able to make use of your powers in ways that you yourself have not even thought about.” She looked at us before continuing, “all I offer is to teach you, I’m an old woman and I have no intention of watching a kingdom get destroyed because a little girl couldn’t use her powers.” Alpha Alex kept on being unsure and his skepticism was very very obvious. “Give us a reason why we believe you won’t betray us immediately you get what you want?” He asked, a sign of authority and responsibility in his thick voice. Isolde’s eyes became calm and softened up a bit, and I felt it was in acknowledgement of his duty as an Alpha. “Well, let me tell you that I have a lot more to lose if this child falls to the great evil that is coming. And I’m not lik
Exalia’s povIn could feel the solidarity and the love and care in Alex’s words, I could feel the bond of a united pack, a united family and I smiled, holding back tears. “Yeah sure, we’ll face it all together,” I said with a strong voice and hugged Alex tightly. I loved him so much . Isolde came in and joined us, her face was stiff with strength and determination and she advised us. “See, we need to set up a plan at once, this was not an attack but it was a message. These people know exactly what they’re doing. They want to test how we can withstand what they just did and we need to now show them we are better and stronger and we can destroy them.” The next few days was spent in hard training and preparation. We didn't just train for combat, we also trained for diplomacy. Isolde started to teach me about the ancient rites of the forefathers, she taught me about the lore of our kind and this wasn’t just for me to fight, but for me to become a great leader in future. Now, me chal
Exalia’s pov The rest of the night, no one slept at all, we spent it in preparation and training and this training was not only physical, it was also mental training. I learned from Isolde about the lore of the white wolf, i learned about the legend and the power that dwelled within me that I had just started to understand.As the dawn drew nearer and nearer I stood by myself and I watched as the first ray of sunlight touched the land. There were a lot of emotions in my heart and it pounded and pounderd.Emotions like fear, determination, insecurity and curiosity. I was at the brink of stepping into the unknown and this wasn’t just about confrontation of a tribe but uncovering truths about myself , fate and Destiny.As the day broke, i spoke positive words to myself and told myself I was going to conquer.The kingdom soon became a fortess of tension and uncertainty as the sun rose high in the sky.Alpha Alex had called for an emergency meeting as the tribe’s elders were visiting our
Exalia’s pov.Our elders murmured and spoke amongst themselves and I could sense that there was already division going on within. I could see that some of them seemed to agree with Eldric’s approach to the issue, meanwhile others seemed to look at me with an expression I could call skepticism.Alex took my hands in his hands and his grip upon me was very very firm and reassuring. “If Exalia is going then I’m going with her, I go too and that’s on period. It’s either we stand together, or we gladly stand against you.”Eldric’s gaze finally for the first time moved from me to Alex, and he seemed to be appraising him. “Very well, Alpha, no problem at all since that’s your decision. Then we shall see if unity can truly be forged from this division. But you people should be warned, because I must say that the path ahead will definitely come with trials. These trials will test the bonds of pack and lineage too, and I’m very serious about it.”Alpha Alex stared at Eldridge, but he didn’
Exalia Pov That night, I spoke with Alex. “If I go with them, will you come with me?” I asked. He looked conflicted. “I can’t leave the pack,” he said. “But I won’t let them hurt you.” I realized I couldn’t ask Alex to choose between me and his responsibilities. The decision had to be mine alone. The next morning, I met with the pack council. “I’ll go with the Lunari,” I said, my voice steady. “But on one condition—they leave the pack alone.” Alex’s eyes burned with anger. “You’re not going anywhere without me,” he said. “You have to stay,” I replied. “The pack needs you.” “And I need you.” He said, holding out my hands. I shook out my head, moving backwards. “This isn't right. “ I muttered and held my cheeks, looking straight until my eyes. “I love you okay…and I'm doing everything in my power to keep our love bond.” “I understand you. But you can't stop me from being who I'm supposed to be. For the moon goddess sake. I'm supposed to be a Lunari. No one in the pack acknow
Alex’s POV I stood in front of the White Tribe Elders, keeping my voice steady. “If Exalia is going to be your Lunari, you’ll have to accept my terms.” One of the Elders frowned. “And what are these terms, Alpha Alex?” I didn’t hesitate. “You’ll let her stay here for a week. During that time, she will become my legal wife and the Luna of this pack. After that, she can return to your White Tribe pack, but only if this condition is met.” The Elders looked at one another, their discontent clear. “Ridiculous,” one of them snapped. “The Lunari must mate with a White Tribe wolf if she is to return. This is the only acceptable path.” “Then no one is taking her from me,” I replied firmly. Another Elder shook his head. “This is absurd. Tradition dictates that she must choose one of us.” Exalia, standing beside me, spoke up. “I won’t reject Alex. You all know this. He’s my mate, and I won’t go against that bond.” I gripped her hand, feeling the strength in her words. “And I won’t reje

Exalia’s pov As Eldric told us his story, we listened, well i listened attentively, each word he said hit my consciousness and made me wonder. With the way he talked and told the story, every living thing around us seemed to listen too. From the birds chirping on the trees to even the forest trees, they all seemed to listen to Eldric’s tale. From the way the leaves rustled when he spoke to the whispering of the winds, you would know that they all listened and payed attention. Eldric paused for a few seconds and continued his story. “The legendary White Wolves you all hear about they’re not a fable or a myth, they’re not a folklore or folktale they’re real life. They were our ancestors, and they were more than just leaders, they’re more than anything you have ever heard about them before now; The White Wolves were the ancient gate keepers of balance in the entire werewolf kindred, the guardians of nature's inabitrary laws. But just like any other dynasty in the history, there w
Exalia’s POVAfter a few more hours of sailing in peace and fun and laughter, our ship finally cut through the last stretch of the sea.“Alex, we’re finally almost home,” I said in excitement, grabbing his hands and dancing like a happy child who had just received a Christmas gift from Santa Clause.“Calm down, calm down, relax your self and behave yourself,” he said, trying to calm me down but I could not help it, I was just too excited, and no one could even calm me down or ask me to stop rejoicing. If Alex had felt half of what I felt about our home, he would have understood the reason why I was so excited that we were finally home, and he wouldn’t ask me to calm down.He would even join me to celebrate.And we saw the coastlines of our kingdom far off like a promised land in the distance.I smiled deep within me, I was home at last, and I would not lie; the vacation had been a very fun and interesting one. I rested my back on the railings, and the wind blew softly against my hai
Exalia’s POVIn the heat of the moment, Alex sprung to feet immediately, as alert as ever.His voice was low and hard, when he called on Ryk and Dane.“Ryk,Dane, get the others ready. Exalia and Tasha, please do well to come with me, so we find out what they want.”The biggest of the pirate ship positioned in front of our ship and one of the men brought out a chain, and used it to hook our ship.The two ships were now hooked together by a big black chain, these humans were really joking with their lives.Suddenly, a dozen haggard looking humans swung into our ship, they looked like touts or cultists, and they carried pistols and rusted cutlasses. Low budget pirates, I bet they thought they had stumbled into easy prey, fools!Their captain who was apparently their leader, was a middle aged call clownish looking man with a patchy beard.He came forward and twirled a blade.“Well well well,” he sneered, grinning and revealing his dirty yellow teeth.“Fancy ship with fancy folks in it, k
Exalia’s POVWhen the champagne bottle reached my turn, I took a gulp and it was quite sharp on my tongue.I was not the type to drink such drinks.I then handed it over to Alex.He smiled and tried to tease me, “Exalia, you’re an adult, you’re above eighteen years old. Please don’t tell me a gulp of champagne is making you shiver like a little baby,” he mocked, grinning with his teeth wide open.“Are you going to take your own gulp, or you prefer to say things that are not profound?” I asked, whispering into his ears, so that only he could hear what I said.He gave me a side eye and took the bottle from my hands, and his eyes glinted with a mischievous look, Alex was a silly old man.“Okay everyone,” he said, shining his teeth and grinning.“To kicking some ass and to popping champagne and drinking on the way home,” he said, pouring down so much of the liquid into his throat.We all burst into a fit of laughter, even Dane fell rolled on the ground, and Tasha lost her footing and fell
Exalia’s POVAfter about ten minutes, Alex came out from the bathroom and his towel covered his body. He looked as handsome as ever as the water dripped down his hair and onto his face then to the ground below.“Well, i hope you did not finish all the hot water,” I said, not even giving him time to breath or rest.He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders, and deep down in my heart, I knew he must be tired of me, because I was really fund of disturbing him so much. Not everyone could tolerate the way a woman would treat them like the way Alex did to me.Sometimes, when I looked at Alex, I saw a humble, gentle and great leader, and I was often very proud of him.I also felt honored to be the Luna and queen of such a wonderful Alpha king like Alex.I know that he we every girls dream, if I was not his Luna, and If he had not yet chosen a mate and married by now, many girls would have been flocking around him in the palace everyday.Many of them would even go out of their way to get h
Exalia’s POV After everything, we all looked for a nearby hotel to rest for the night.“Let’s get a nice hotel to sleep this night,” Alex said, ordering us all to leave the scene.We had all thrown the dead bodies of the creatures into the sea, and they had sunken deep down already.“Tomorrow morning, we head back to the palace.”I was happy that he had finally made the decision and concluded that we would be returning home tomorrow, that was the only thing I wanted to hear right now.Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed my self out here in the Caribbean, but i wanted us to go home, especially as these creatures had attacked us here.Once we got back home, the first thing I was going to do was call Yara and her African brothers and ask them if there’s a way we can eliminate these creatures for good.Come to think of it, it was now becoming like a curse, and it was embarrassing.How would it be that everywhere one went to, these stupid creatures would just show up and start to cause c
Alex’s POV There was a lot of joy in my heart and I was super excited that the last one of the monsters had finally fallen.I shifted back into my guns form and I figured I was so dirty with blood and slight bruises all over my body. Blood flowed down my ribs, and I felt some pain, similar to a muscle pull on my ankle.Exalia was soon with me in a flash, she had also turned back into her human form, and her beautiful silver fur was gone.She examined my minor injuries with her fingers, and I could see that she was not happy about it at all, she seemed sad.“Are you okay?” She asked with a tight and sober voice, she didn’t look so good.“Yeah,” I replied, trying to hide the fact that my bones hurt and I was in slight pain.“How are you holding up?” I asked her.“Hmmm, I’m good,” she said but she stared at the ocean as if she was expecting something.The waves were restless and they splashed as if they were angry at something.Ryk, Tasha and Dane appeared in front of us, and they look
Alex’s POV“Tasha! Right behind you!” I barked, as I saw another monster running towards her direction, it was definitely angry that it’s brothers had been slain by us.But I did not even need to worry myself that much because Dane was already in control. He moved slowly and stalked it as if he were a ghost, then as he got closer, he threw binder on it with a very deadly force that before the creature even knew what was going on, it had already been covered. It roared and spun, then it began to twist its body and roll on the floor, in an attempt to get Dane of its body, but Dane was a top tier military guy, and he was specially trained and built to withstand pressure and fight to the death. Soon, the bar had already been trashed and it was in a total mess. I felt very bad for the owners of this bar because what had been destroyed was their properties and it amounted to a lot of money.Tables were destroyed and glasses were smashed to pieces. There was not a single human being in

Alex’s POVThere was no time to start think or hesitating, I allowed my body to shift easily and my fur tore through my skin, my bones began to crack and soon, I was on all four limbs.I was getting really frustrated, Infact i was already frustrated, because the attacks were already getting to much.Perhaps, when we got back home, I would discuss with Yara and her African brothers on how to permanently eradicate these creatures for good, but for now, it was time to teach them a very bitter lesson. I soon landed hard, I was very big and gigantic in my wolf form, and I was fierce and ready to take on any one and anything.Exalia was right beside me, she had turned too, and she looked like she coul conquer the world,she we a gallant warrior.The over protective spirit in me always made me forget the fact that Exalia was a White Wolf, and she was a lunari.She was the most powerful werewolf of our generation, but I always wanted to protect her due to the fact that she was a lady, and she
