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 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.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
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"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
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 .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.The questions continued and we took turns to interrogate them.As they answered the questions we asked, we noticed that each member of the group answered accurately and their stories aligned, they were indeed tourists from the human world.They had been drawn by tales, fables and myths of our unique and amazing culture and the mysterious nature of our secluded and segregated kingdom. My Beta, Lena, who’s always the skeptic and more detailed of us all, began to dig deeper and ask them more questions. She asked them about their route, the route they had taken to get here, she asked about their knowledge and everything they knew about our customs and traditions, Lena even asked about the plans they had after this particular visit.After what felt like a couple of hours, but it was actually just one hour, we were finally convinced of their innocence and truthfulness.After looking at their map, we found out that it was very much old and outdated. We noticed their eagerness
Exalia’s pov.Yara was done listening to the ghost and I argue with one another, she moved towards tree and started to perform a ritual of purification immediately. Her hands glowed with light as she began her ritual purification excercise, and we wall watched on in awe. She started humming and dancing, then she began running around the tree and Alex and I thought she had run mad, but Kofi and Oba asked us not to worry, that it was all part of the purification process she needed to do. She began chanting words and casting spells that seems to penetrate as affect the very core fabric of reality before our very eyes. Alex walked up to me and stood beside me, he held Mabel tightly in his left hands and held me on the other hand, his touch was a reassurance that no matter the situation or the problem, we would always face it together and find a way to tackle it. Soon, Yara’s chants increased and her voice became louder. The ground began to vibrate and then shake like an earthquake, b
Exalia’s pov.Without further delay, we would begin the journey to locate the world tree, so that this madness would stop immediately. Alex took a few minutes to reset the pack before we took off, he called Marcus aside and left he and Lena in charge of the pack’s leadership while we were away. “Marcus,we’re going to have to do this for our own good,” he said to Marcus, explaining to him how grave the situation was. Marcus, his forever loyal servant listened to him attentively and promised him that he and Lena would lead the pack and govern well in his absence. “You have my wordy dear Alpha, everything will be just fine, and I wish you guys good luck in finding the world tree.” Marcus saluted his Alpha and left the room immediately. We soon began the journey to the heart of the world tree, and I must confess, it was not an easy one. It clearly wasn’t something to be taken lightly, as the Africans has asked us to carry along a lot of foodstuffs and weapon supplies. We prepared
Exalia’s pov Inspite of all the happenings, Yara seemed unaffected and she began to sing. Her voice was so loud that it became so noticeable, she was trying so hard to extinguish the darkness and give way to light once more. The irony of it wall was that the creature was not affected at all, it responded, and it didn’t retreat,It became more stronger and more menacing and horrifying. It had fully evolved into its true form that looked like some sort of humanoid from another galaxy. I was absolutely terrified and I lost my composure the moment I saw it’s eyes, they were green and blue, with a mixture of black. This was a very demonic god or whatever shit it was.“Exalia, what in the world were your ancestors doing with such a thing as this?” Alex asked me, whispering and deliberately trying to low his voice and not to be heard at all. I had been thinking about the same thing, ever since Oba made the revelation. What on earth were my ancestors doing with such a creature as this?
Exalia’s pov.At the peak of the moment, Tara’s eyes widened immediately and her gaze suddenly flashed to the exact corner, the same place that Mabel had claimed she saw the ghost. “Oh my goodness,” she whispered, her body vibrating. “It’s here, it’s here, it’s here,” she whispered continuously. Her voice was filled with so much terror and awe as she alerted us of it’s prescence. All of us looked at one another, we were scared stiff to our bone marrows and we just stood there, having no idea what to do or say. Then something very scary and creepy happend, the temperature of the room dropped immensely and the candles started to shake as if their fire would quench. Suddenly, a very large and gigantic figure, very dark and horrible, came out from its own shadows and began to form in the corner where Mabel had seen it. Mabel shivered, pointing at it and claiming it was exactly what she had seen, “calm down , calm down,” Alex hushed her, for he himself was horrified and didn’t want u
Exalia’s pov.Mabel sat up straight immediately, her hands were gradually starting to tremble as Alex instructed her to narrate her nightmare to us in details. She told us that the scary ghost had been so malevolent and powerful that it had crossed from her dream and followed her into real life. “I felt like I was being watched by the demon, I knew for sure that it was looking at me. It knew me, this is for real, it knew all of us.” She said, whispering to Alex as her eyes turned eastwards exactly to the same spot where she had supposedly seen the spiritual monster. Alex was listening attentively to all what she was saying, his jaw was fixed already and positioned, set to fight, and his mind seemed to have already started planning and strategizing his next move. As Mabel finished talking, he calmed her down and sighed, then he took a deep breath. “We really do need to understand what this is, from what I have heard Mabel say so far, this is not just an ordinary earth bound spirit
Exalia’s pov.The night had become deep and there was now intense silence outside our room. The silent was really oppressive, similar to a situation where the earth was holding its breath and standing still. I was on full alert, gallantly on the watch out for any intruding prescence. My senses could detect the energy inside the room and feel the air in the atmosphere. I watched over Mabel as she lay peacefully on the bed. I kept on observing and I was on the look out for any form of ghosts. Slowly, the dawn started coming little by little and I could feel the lights as it arrived. I got up from the bed and walked to the window, i peeped outside and surveyed the environment, there was no trace or sign of any thing extraordinary. as I went back to the bed, there was Mabel.She had fallen into a deep sleep on the bed, she seemed so calm and peaceful and I was quite happy that she had finally found peace and fallen asleep. However, deep inside me, I knew that there were not yet a
Exalia’s pov.That night was more cold than usual, it was too cold for a Friday. Fridays in the late spring were usually not this cold. This was the kind of cold that would sweep into your bone marrows and paralyze them. The climate was changing, or what was the reason for such cold during the late spring? I had just left Alex’s room, the memories of our just shared intimacy was still lingering in my head and I walked barefooted across the freezing floor and into my room.My long hair was a total mess, for it had been the victim of hard core love play, and I needed to comb it and make it fit perfectly, before sleep would finally envelope me and take me to dreamland. The entire palace was very silent and calm, and only the sounds of bats, owls and other night animals could I hear, I even heard dogs barking from other compounds. In the midst of it all, I felt something else. It was an undercurrent of something demonic, strange and paranormal, it was otherworldly. It darkend the au
Alex’s pov.The conversations started becoming more and more lively as Lena began to share news. She talked about the pack’s latest community projects and she commented on how fast and rapidly our communities were developing.“I’m proud of our collective efforts in making sure that our communities are top notch and urbanized,” she said, the pride evident in her voice. “Hmmmm, enough of the talking about work pleasure,” Marcus interrupted her, he smiled and set his cuttlerry with a childish playful grin. “I want Alpha Alex and his ravishing Luna to tell us what the highlights of their beach day was.”Exalia burst into laughter, she looked at me and when she saw that I was smiling, she increased her own laughter. “Well, Alex brought up the idea that we build a small tiny cottage at the beach, something like a retreat from the outside cruel world.” Lena’s eyes lit up immediately she heard these words from Exalia. “Awwn, wow that sounds so romantic and divine doesn’t it?” She said loo
Alex’s pov.Exalia nodded her head in agreement. Her agreement was quite silent but it was very profound. I looked at her and smiled, she looked so pretty and beautiful. We lay down on the blanket again, this time we were much closer to each other. Her beautiful soft head was resting on my broad chest and listening to the steady beat of my heart, while I felt her own too.The day soon went passed by and we had fully enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. The atmospheric light had started to change and the air was gradually cooling down with a soft cool breeze.All we did was eat and talk and kiss and tell each other how much love we had for the other. We simply existed in each other’s company. Soon, the sun began to set and the skies were getting darker. Exalia and I wrapped ourselves in each other’s arms, and the big black blanket was the only barrier against the chill and cold of the evening.“Hey Alex, I want to tell you something,” Exalia murmured romantically into my ears. “Yeah
