A riddle

Fryege and Dominic had been huddled across his long table where he had brewed the potion earlier. There was a single leaf floating on the liquid inside the same beaker. The archon’s omega had not even touched it yet for the fear that it would crumble.

As Dominic watched impatiently, Freyge took the leaf out and saw a question scribbled on it in a language not many knew of. But, based on the book he had been carrying around so he could discern the words.

I have been struggling to come up with an answer for this one, he said as he pulled out the leaf from the beaker. Freyge warned, “Beware alpha Castro, the message would disappear in a minute after I take the leaf out of the beaker.”

Dominic raised his eyebrow but didn't say anything, he had only expected that the mage would give them directions and maybe a time of their visit. His eyes kept flicking to the watch to check the time, he didn't want Valencia near Kyle all by herself.

Fryege put the leaf ge

    Clutching her bag she entered a passage that was lit in a dim blue light that would have made her nearly trip. Thankfully, she could see well. As suddenly as she had caught the scent, it vanished. Frowning, she looked around but couldn't seem to find anything. The bag was still in her hand so she decided to go and change after spotting a large sign of washroom. The washroom was large, well-lit, and had huge mirrors. She locked the door and quickly pulled out the dress, as there was no one around, she didn't bother going into the toilet cubicle. When she looked at her reflection in the mirror she realized she looked like a mess. Her hair was sticking out in all directions, her hands still had some mud that she must have brushed off against the trees while running towards the Vestibule. “Let’s change that,” She muttered to herself and washed her face, scrubbing at her fingers and cheeks to get rid of the dirt. She pulled out the dress and pl

  • The Undead Alpha   I need answers

    The archon alpha stumbled a little as white flashed before her eyes, making her momentarily blind. She didn't know what was happening to her all of a sudden, the wound was still there on her leg but it had stopped hurting since the last few days. While she was still reeling, she felt the slightest prick of a needle on her arm. Through blurry eyes, she saw Caleb wave a syringe at her. He was grinning at her wickedly and spoke in what he felt was a seductive voice, “You are going to have fun today, honey.” At that moment something clicked inside Valencia. She had been leaning on the tabletop, clutching to it for support but she whipped her hand and it connected with Caleb’s jaw. Unknowingly, she had released her archon alpha status that she had kept concealed all this time.

    Valencia swayed a little and Dominic instinctively shot out a hand to steady her. “Are you okay?” He asked her, searching her face that was confused. His hand touched hers and as if it was something alien she placed her hand around his chin and raised him up in the air. Dominic was taken off guard by her sudden attack but he recovered soon. Valencia would most certainly see him dead so he decided to pacify her. Meanwhile, Caleb who was watching from the side just realized how powerful the beautiful girl he had been planning to knock out was and blurted, “I…I am sorry, miss….mam…” Caleb felt that there was no way he would walk out of the situation alive. That made her look at him and she shook her head, her hands losing their strength momentarily as Dominic fell to the ground. Realizing his foolishness to have attracted her attention, Caleb tried his best to run away while whimpering and cursing. Meanwhile, Dominic

    “What?” Dominic blurted out in shock to hear her say that. Dusting her hands, she replied, “This scum of a rogue said that to me instead of ordering a drink.” The alpha curled his fingers into a fist and punched him square in the jaw as well. While he had caught the pun behind the drink, to think that someone would even be near Valencia, and try to take advantage of her….his blood began to boil. Why was he having such murderous thoughts? Clearly, because he wanted to protect his archon. ‘Yes, that’s what it is,’ he told himself. And that someone was tied to a chair in front of him. Of course, he wanted to kill that rogue then and there. Caleb should have been thankful that the alphas merely punched him and didn't tear him apart because they still needed answers from him. After hitting the young man’s face, Dominic felt a little of his tension loosen up. Caleb slumped down on the ground, knocked off, taking the chair down

  • The Undead Alpha   Dream or reality?

    “Sent where?” Both the alphas chorused in unison. Caleb flinched a bit at the way both of them spoke in their commanding voices but tried his best to answer, they weren’t going to let him free either way and it looked like he didn't have the luxury of going back to his previous boss as well. Now, he could only answer to the best of his abilities and hope that they would show some mercy on him. Thus he began narrating, “I am not sure of the place but it was somewhere far away. We were blindfolded and we were taken someplace that looked like a cave from the inside. The journey had taken hours and it was a rocky road based on the constant bumps that we felt throughout the ride.” The alpha was about to say something but Valencia signaled him to stay put. She knew where this was going. Rituals and worship could only mean that a witch or a mage was behind all this. However what stumped her was why a mage would be involved in creating werewolves, if

  • The Undead Alpha   Found an answer

    Dominic took her to his home despite her saying over and over that she was fine. He immediately called Freyge and asked him to get all the medications possible to help her feel better. Thus, only fifteen minutes later, they were all sitting in the wide-open hall of his mansion while Freyge was pulling out a dozen vials and bottles to give her a potion. Valencia made a face to look at him mixing the different herbs into her drink, the smell already making her puke but she knew she couldn't grumble like a three year old. As such, she watched as Freyge prepared and handed her a quick drink while Dominic paced the room. When Freyge was done he asked him, “Did you find the answer to the riddle?” Before Freyge could answer, Valencia asked him, “Riddle? What riddle?” Her omega shook his head in denial and appraised her of the situation. Now, he wasn’t afraid that she would rip him apart as Dominic had told him of her sudden interest to meet t

  • The Undead Alpha   A long journey

    Freyge handed the little scroll to the archon who only looked at him in confusion once before opening the soul. “Congratulations on passing the little test. I get called for little problems such as finding a missing family member or pulling a prank on someone. As such, I try to weed out those who really require my help against those who just waste my time. Based on the previous message that I had received, I was informed of some mage trying to tarnish the reputation of my community. I would like to very much hear about it but I have certain pressing matters to attend to. As such, if you can visit me in the next 48 hours, I should be able to help you. C.H” Valencia read the small message sent through the scroll loudly for both Freyge and Dominic to hear. Looking at both of them quizzically, she drummed her fingers against her knee, “What mage is trying to tarnish the mage community’s image? And how do you know who he is?” Dominic rushed to her an

  • The Undead Alpha   Lets go on a ride

    While Freyge had gone to collect herbs and potions for the alpha’s journey to the Burham mountains, Valencia had gone to pack some stuff in a duffel bag. She didn't have much to pack though, only two sets of clean clothes, a pair of daggers, and she was done. Dominic didn't even bother carrying clothes and he just wore a long jacket with loads of pockets that he stuffed with daggers, and the potions Freyge had got for him. Normally, they would just transform back into their human forms with their clothes intact, a blessing given by the moon goddess to make them feel less awkward if they were around other werewolves. They could never have been thankful for a more suitable gift that helped him in battles, during the rare occasions that they would lose their wolf’s control or when they are turned for the first time. Thirty minutes later, they all met outside Valencia’s home. She slung her bag around her shoulder and looked at Dominic to see if he h

    Valencia let out a growl on hearing that. “How could you, Trecdor? She is a little girl…all these days…I have been living with the guilt of scaring her and it was you all along?” Trecdor spat at her words in disgust, “Trecdor? Do you dare call me by my name? Where is your respect for the Coven's head?” Valencia meanwhile kept glaring at him, “You lost it when you sent an untrained, tainted werewolf after my niece, you don’t have the right to that seat after what you have been doing to the humans…” Dominic tried to mind link her, “Keep him busy talking, I’ll try to untie the knots holding me to this filthy pillar.” She was startled to hear his voice in her head all of a sudden but Trecdor only took it as the reaction to his betrayal. To goad her further, he added, What use is she to me? Well, if she grows up and is capable of birthing a wolf then she may be of some use…if not, she is a burden on our community…like yo

  • The Undead Alpha   The real culprit

    After ensuring that the car was safely hidden out of view, both of them stepped out of it and peered through the gate.Luckily nobody had come running towards the gate when it had creaked loudly.So they believed that it could either mean that whoever was in charge didn’t think that anybody would show up or if they did then they wouldn’t walk out alive.After ensuring that nobody was around using their acute sense of hearing and smell, the two slowly edged inside.There was a lot of abandoned stuff littering around the open space so it proved to be effective in hiding.Thus, they used the empty drums and stuff lying around to hide them while carefully walking inside.The two werewolves kept inching towards the entrance that they hoped would be heavily guarded or at least tripped with wires.But to their surprise, again nothing obstructed their way. It was strange and both of them merely glanced at each other before walking

    Running towards him, she turned him around and before he could react, she pulled him by the collar and placed her lips on his. Daniel had not expected her to have such a reaction and he was startled for a moment but soon he gave in to the feeling. He was afraid that she would shun him and was only around him for old time’s sake. The fact that she took the initiative to kiss him dispensed all the worries from his head. His arms went around her and he lifted him from the ground while kissing her back. Jenny smiled and a chuckle escaped her lips to feel him be so elated. His eyes were shining with joy and she could also see a tear or two though he was trying hard to not show it. “I love you” The words escaped his lips automatically and Jenny’s eyes mirrored his emotions. “I have always loved you, Danny,” Jenny replied and the two smiled again. “Now, put me down…” Daniel who was lost in the sensation of

    As she kept thinking about this stuff, her feet automatically carried her to the headquarters. She walked inside the headquarters, climbed the stairs, and got to the upper floor where Daniel was sitting on the chair. He looked weak but not as exhausted as before. The guards stationed outside the room bowed their heads at her. “Has he eaten something?” One of the werewolves who were standing away from her bowed his head and answered, “Yes archon, we gave him food and he finished that reluctantly. In fact, he has been asking to meet you. But, we didn’t inform you because we thought it was too early.” She nodded her head in acknowledgment and went inside. Daniel was in a fresh set of clothes, probably Gerald had given her a new set. He even looked to have bathed and not as harrowed as the night before. Daniel had a notebook and a pen in front of him and appeared to be scribbling something. Seeing her enter the room, he got up from his seat and bo

  • The Undead Alpha   Want me to leave?

    The voice pained him and the icy tone with which she said that to him made him feel like he was punched in the gut. “Why are you doing this?” He asked in an anguished voice. She was still pinned to the bed and his hands were still holding hers. He tightened his hold on her and bent down again to say, “You don’t really mean that, you are saying that to get back at me.” Valencia kept looking at him with the same steady gaze, her eyes didn’t even falter for a second. She was proud of not giving away the roller coaster of emotions coursing through her. “If you think so…” Calhoun’s eyes grew darker and she hoped that he would get away from her the minute he realized that she wasn’t joking. However, he did just the opposite. Instead of getting away from her, he bent down and gave her the steamiest kiss ever. In one swift motion, he put his hands around her, pulled her in a tight embrace, and began eating her lips, devouring her

    “Well let’s say fate decided to meddle with her life. She got separated from her parents and had to live on her own….but….she was a strong girl. As such, she decided to not let destiny decide the course of her life, thus she fought against all odds and became a queen from an orphan.” She gave a dry chuckle at that, “you make it look so effortless...” He responded, “I know it isn’t, but I didn’t want to go into the details of the pain and suffering of the girl, she has had her fill.” Valencia closed her eyes and replied, “Hmm…so, where is she now?” Calhoun looked at her face that was shining with innocence and pain. He wanted to kiss her so bad but didn’t want to take advantage of the situation. Thus, he answered, “She is ruling her kingdom all by herself.” “Oh, she doesn’t have a king?” “She could but she doesn’t need anyone I think.” “Well, everybody needs someone at one point or the other…” The words had tumbl

    The word made her momentarily forget what she had been about to say. Nobody had called her queen before. Blinking her eyes she said while fumbling, “Yes…I am..” Though her heart had skipped a beat at that, she continued to look at him with defiance. Calhoun closed the distance between them and stood extremely close to her, their faces inches away from each other. “What wouldn’t have happened if I had stayed away?” He asked her again, slowly and steadily and she realized that he had understood that she had not implied the incident with the blue werewolf. A small part of her heart was amazed to see how he had clearly understood her but the other was still fluttering at the way he had called her queen. It felt oddly nice to hear him call her a queen. Scolding herself, she tried to get a grip on herself as even her wolf seemed to be confused now. Earlier, she had loved Dominic but now feeling what Valencia was feeling made her unsu

  • The Undead Alpha   Queen

    Dominic muttered and turned into his wolf. Valencia got up from the ground as the rogue motioned ahead and raised his hand to smack her again. But before he could do this, Dominic jumped on him, sinking his teeth into the werewolf’s arm. In normal circumstances, it would have sliced off the hand as an alpha’s bite was extremely powerful but no such thing happened now. The blue werewolf was more powerful than the alpha but it seemed to lose its mind from time to time. It was as if periodically it was being remote controlled by someone else and just moments of self control were granted to it before it was taken over by that other mysterious controller again. Dominic looked at his beta who got the message and quickly as his pack members to ensure that a stampede doesn’t occur and that everybody is taken to a safe place while they dealt with this rogue. Gerald and Patrick began guiding the frightened crowd, taking them away from the battle

    “I kept telling myself that it will be okay, that I could always walk away and return the money if I didn’t like what was going on…” Daniel trailed off and his eyes automatically went to Jenny whose face was almost on the verge of crying. She couldn’t keep it together anymore. His face crumpled to see her like that and Dominic patted her head and pulled her in a hug to calm her down. Daniel felt relieved to see that neither of the alphas was hurting her even when they knew that she was their leverage against them. Gerald walked up to him and offered him a glass of water when the rogue moved his hands to his throat and touched the Adam’s apple. After emptying the water glass, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and continued, “I was taken in and asked to do some mandatory health check-ups that they assured me and the batch of people who had signed up with them…we were taken in a lab of sorts and asked to sleep on a table to take some scan…I do
