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convinced of their innocence and truthfulness.After looking at their map, we found out that it was very much old and outdated.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
Alex’s pov.I slept like a baby, as I had been tired from the previous night and when I finally did wake up, I was fully energized and full of strength. I got up from my bed and went to the window, I opened it and looked outside.The morning sun was shining bright in the sky and the ray was bright and beautiful.As I surveyed the environment from my window, I could see the barracks far off and I strained my eyes to see what was going on.The soldiers had already began their daily training routine and they were active.I noticed a new figure, standing and looking at them. I tried to make out who it was, but I couldn’t quite get it.I went to my bathroom and started to brush my teeth, I would bathe and get ready to start my day. As I brushed, I suddenly remembered that who the unknown figure was, it was the young boy I had rescued from his master’s beating yesterday.“Oh, how could I forget?” I murmured, wondering how I could forget something that happened just yesterday. His master w
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
