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convinced of their innocence and truthfulness.After looking at their map, we found out that it was very much old and outdated.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.“Good morning my lady,” an old man greeted me as I was returning from my morning routine, my early morning jogging. It was one of the gatekeepers, I liked to call him old man Haggard.Haggard was particularly fond of me and he was always so happy to see me.I had gone for my early morning jogging routine and I had just finished. I was so tired that I could barely raise my legs and walk properly because I had been jogging nonstop for about an hour and thirty minutes.“Hey good morning Haggard,” I replied, smiling back at him. He looked like he hadn’t slept all night, eyes red and almost swollen.“Happy to see you this morning boss, how was your morning excercise?” He asked me, smiling as he spoke every word.I told him I was fine and I was improving and doing perfectly okay, then he sat down on his char and brought out a cigarette from his back pocket.“Hey, you don’t sleep do you?” I asked, observing his features, from his eyes down to his walking style. “We have to
Exalia’s povMorning came and its light was gentle. The morning lights filtered through the reeds of my chamber window and it cast beautiful and artistic patterns across the floor. I was awed by the beauty of nature as I looked at it.I was still tired and the memory of my dream was still in my head, so I just lay there for a moment and thoght about everything. As I thought about my dream, I prayed for it to come to pass, and it was not just for the sake of my own longing to go back home to meet my Alex, but also for the sake of peace between Lunari and my pack.The dream I had last night was not just a wish, the dream felt more like a vision as if it was a destiny that I could personally shape.I stood up from my bed and the urgency to share this dream was all that bothered me.I wanted to make it real and turn it into a reality,because it was the sole purpose of why I was even in the Lunari kingom.I rinsed my face with water, and I left my room to go look for Eldric,he needed to h
Alex’s pov Tuesdays were always very pleasant and I loved it when it was Tuesday, I also loved to take private meditations in my private chambers, it gave me comfort and peace of mind.It was around 11 am and the quietness of my private apartment was a pleasant thing to experience. My private apartment was the only place on this earth where I could truly cut off from the world and dive deep into the inner depths of my own mind and thoughts.Life wasn’t easy as an Alpha, I had said this countless times. There was a lot of burdens and responsibilities to bear and anyone who was not was not strong would totally collapse.I loved meditating all the time, it was my own form of refuge, a way to connect with the wolf that was inside of me.A way for me to maintain the balance necessary to lead my people rightMy room was lit but only with soft glowing white candles. Their flames were mild, but they danced up and down as if they were going to go wild. I had started my meditation and yoga
Alex’s pov.As Tatiana left my room, I kept on wondering what was wrong with her, because this wasn’t the Tatiana I knew.This behavior she had just exhibited was very strange and alarming, I had never seen this side of her ever before.Could it be that she had been lusting after me for a long time now and she hadn’t told me because of Exalia? And now that Exalia was not around, was she trying to use the opportunity to seduce me and lure me into making her my Luna?I kept on pondering and wondering, why on earth would Tatiana behave in the way and manner she just did?I sat on my bed and sighed, then I took a deep breathe and reached for a glass cup on the other side of the bed. I wanted to drink some water, as I took the jar and poured it into the glass cup, I felt a soft pain in my stomach.I ignored the pain and drank the water but the pain still continued drinking, but the pain lingered on.“What’s this now?” I murmured, taking off my shirt and holding my stomach tightly.I lay
Alex’s pov.Eldric and I were having a lofty conversation and I was still excited about Exalia’s return when I woke up. It was then that I discovered that it was all a dream.“Oh shit,” I said to myself as soon as I came back to reality and realized that it was a dream all along. I sat up straight and sighed deeply.It felt so real and I was really angry and disappointed when I realized it had been a dream all along, I mean why would do even have such a dream. The only explanation for having such a dream was if I was thinking about Exalia or if she would soon be back from the Lunari.Day by day, I missed my Luna more and more and I couldn’t wait for her return. As I sat on my bed, thinking about the dream I just had, my inner wolf suggested that it could probably be a sign that Exalia would soon return.If this was true, then that was a very good sign and who was I to argue with my inner wolf. It had never led me astray and it would never do that. I sat on my bed and sleep had alr
Alex’s pov “Why were you hitting the little boy?” I asked the man sharply, I wasn’t in the mood for games and hide and seek. I need straight answers and i need them now.” I said with a tone of command. The man was startled immediately and his body froze. I stared at him, waiting for his response.“Alpha, I didn’t hit the boy,” he denied, his voice shaky and his body vibrating. I looked at this man and shook my head, did he think I was a kid ? Or who was he lieng to?“I’m going to ask you one last time, don’t waste my time. Why did you hit the boy?” I asked again. This time, I was loosing my temper and I had run out of patience, it was obvious in my voice. “Alpha.. uhh sir, Alpha.” The man kept mumbling his words. “Are you going to speak or i should have you locked up?” I said, almost shouting and raising attention which I didn’t want.The old man was already frozen and his legs were shaking, his body vibrating at top speed.By now, he knew that I knew he was lying and he knew
Exalia’s POVIt was a very large vortex of both shadows and flames, call it a portal of some sort, coupled with the fact that it looked very strange and creepy.It spewed imminent destruction, and it’s pulse was like that of a heartbeat, it also had a void center, which mirrored the scary eyes of the entity, just so terrifying.“Lets close it immediately,” Alex said, then he used his hands to grip mine.He was so strong, that his strength felt like a life line, Alex was really strong.As he spoke his words, I simply nodded, and in that moment, I began to draw on my Lunari abilities, because they came in handy.As I did this, I noticed that the power of the moon clashed with the darkness that I carried with me.It was as if the two forces were fighting for supremacy, but i tried not to bother myself, because I knew that the light would always prevail over the darkness.It was not easy at all, but I still perceived, and together, we began to chant with great power and energy, that our v
Exalia’s POVFlames of the UnseenThe loud echoes of the howl that came from our pack house came as a sudden disaster.It disrupted the moment of triumph that we were having, and it turned our moment of celebration into anxiety and worry.What about the sacred grounds?The sacred grounds were now quite, and the only sounds that could be heard was our ragged breaths. I was particularly worried and looking all around me, as the entity’s words still rang in my head.“Your home is burning, while you’re here fighting.” I did not understand what it meant, and I battled hard to grasp the meaning of that statement, what I knew for sure was that it did not mean anything good at all. But I kept thinking and contemplating, and as I thought about it, the implication became clearer and clearer, I began it understand it now.We had been distracted, and drawn away.I now understood that we had been lured into an unnecessary battle that was a distraction from the main calamity that would soon befa

Exalia’s POVIn the heat of the moment, Yara’s chants served as a shield for all of us. Yara and her Africans have really been a great help for us, because things would age been really tough for us without their help.Who knows where we would have ended up a long time ago? Oba’s staff was similar to a spear of light.What about Kofi? His strong ties and connections to the earth grounded us and aimed to make sure that the darkness would not succeed in pulling us into It’s abyss.Alex looked at my face, then he moved closer to me, and grabbed my hands.“How you holding up?” Alex asked me, with a tone of concern.I looked at him and smiled, and told him I was doing perfectly okay.“What about you? How you doing?” I asked him, he nodded his head and held my hands more tightly, I could see the urge in his eyes to protect the pack and all what we stood for. “It’s all good, we’re going to be just fine,” I whispered to him, hoping it would reassure him.But he just looked at me and smiled
Exalia’s POVAs all these was happening, i immediately countered, my voice was strictly firm inside my mind.“Balance does not necessarily mean domination at all. You have all been set free by the folly of human beings, but do not bother yourself, for we shall restore all that should be restored.”The beings began to hesitate, maybe it was because they could sense my connection. Maybe, they could sense the struggle I was facing with the darkness inside of me. Whatever their reason was, it was not know to me, neither was it known to any of us.But all we could see was that, they had hesitated for a moment. But all of a sudden, something strange and weird happened that got us startled.A lot of things had been happening recently, had gotten us really startled, but non could be compared to this one right now. The air started becoming colder, and to make matters worse, the entire ground started vibrating as if it was trembling in fear and panic.Now, from the deepest shadows that were

Exalia’s POVWe soon made preparations to depart, and as we departed, the air felt very charged, and looking up into the sky, it was as if the stars had been hidden by the clouds.One could also tell that the sky was preparing itself for what was to come, and there where a lot of clouds in the night’s sky, which made me feel that it might rain.“There are no clouds,” I whispered to Alex as we traveled. He looked into the sky and sighed, but he didn’t say anything. “Do you think it will rain?” I asked him, he looked up at the sky and then shook his head.“I don’t think so,” he said, looking up at the sky again. “I think we shall have a smoot journey.” He added, he held my hands as we continued our journey into the unknown.We traveled on and on, throughout the night, our pathways lit by the moon when it sometimes came out from the clouds that covered it.We kept on moving and moving, until we got to a place that seemed like a sacred ground. “This seems to be a high place of power,”
Exalia’s POVKofi was doing a lot, you could see it from the pale facial expression he had, “My Luna!” He yelled, “The darkness that we faced inside the carven is also part of this.” He paused for a moment and then continued. “The ritual that we stopped, was aimed at weakening the barriers, it was to help prepare for the return and freedom of this entity.” We all looked at one another, as listened to what he had to say, Yara nodded her head, as she was the one who understood him the most.As he conveyed his message, it became clearer and more clear to us, we now had a full understanding of what was going on.After he Kofi finished speaking, the vision faded, and we were all struck with a feeling of incoming doom, we knew that something would happen. The entity that made that howl was not just a threat, to our pack.It would cause mayhem if unleashed, and it was a threat to the balance of all life. Such a creature was evil and malevolent, on no account should it be left to get its
Exalia’s PoV When talking about the howl that pierced the night, one could describe it as being unlike any other howl or sound that had ever been heard as a howl.It sounded to scary and eerie, and anyone who was not a supernatural could have become deaf after listening to it, because it was so loud.Thanks to our werewolf nature and abilities, we did not become deaf as a result of the loud howl, but we were rather terrified and worried about it’s origin and intentions. Alex and I were both werewolves, and we knew the sounds of the howls of our fellow werewolves, this one was totally different. This particular howl came with a feeling of something ancient, it was like something out of the natural, was being summoned.Maybe a ghost or a spirit or something of such sort.“Do you think it’s a ghost or something?” I asked Alex, trying to hear his opinion. “ I don’t know if it’s a ghost, and I don’t know what it is, but what I’m sure is that It’s unlike anything I have ever heard in my
