2021-09-29 16:22:40The crickets chirped and the insects sang a chorus that filled the forest with a noise so loud that Valencia had an urge to burn the trees down. She wanted some peace for the moment. She and Gerald had returned from Dominic's place and he had rushed straight to his hideout.
She hadn't had time to apologize for her behavior. She kept recalling the look of terror in Tom's eyes and scolded herself. To add more to her guilt, her head couldn't stop replaying her conversation with Dominic. The way he had asked her to be his 'mate'... it was almost...weird?
What was it? Why was he acting so strange nowadays?
She shuddered at the thought of being someone’s mate. The idea itself seemed absurd to her. Dominic was an excellent person who she was sure would prove to be an ideal mate and husband, but she wasn’t ready to go down that path so soon.
After all, she had forever to live. For now, she was content living on her terms. To her, belonging to someone

The Undead Alpha What's the matter?
It was almost dawn yet Valencia was still at her office in the headquarters. She had despised humans for thinking of any creature other than them as inferior but liked how they kept their personal and workspaces different. Thus, she kept her personal space and workspace poles apart. She had pinned the map on the wall and pulled a large desk in front of her. She had been sitting on the desk, her legs dangling at the edges. Her eyes were drooping and she stifled a yawn. Coffee cups littered the floor as did several crumpled papers. She was going in circles, she had everything in front of her yet she had no clue of where to look for the attacker. Her phone beeped at a text message from Dominic. Need to discuss the conclave meeting. Can we meet? Perfect. She could talk to him about ways to find something about the attacks. She knew her territory of Sricgis quite well but she hated visiting the human city, Grawd. Dominic, however, was a regular visitor and h

He continued to scan the menu and said, “I see you are feeling chatty today.” She pounced, “I see you are not.” He shook his head and she continued, “You asked me to meet and now you won't even look at me. Is this how you respect your archon alpha?” He looked at her taking in her clothes and her pink lipstick. He wondered how it would feel to crush his lips into hers and lick the lipstick off her face. Crap, what was he thinking? “I got news from my omega, the one you scared away- his name is Bob. He said that the hycwens have been going paranoid and hurting their own.” She considered the news, “So, you think someone is trying to control the pea sized brains of the hycwens?” He lowered his tone, “ Bob said that he heard the hycwens whisper something about a person entering their territory and hurt them for fun.” Valencia shrugged, “It could be the reason why they suddenly started attacking werewolves. They stay well out of the

The day that Valencia had been dreading was finally upon her. She couldn't escape it anymore. She had gotten a dozen reminders from Gerald and Dominic already. She groggily got up from her bed and parted the curtains to bathe in the morning sunlight. As her mind decided on the best way to approach her subjects, she put her face in her hands. She was going to have to make a speech of some sort. What would she say? Hello, lycans. It's a pleasure meeting you. If you want your heads intact upon your shoulders, don't say a thing. Or maybe Hey, werewolves. Why don't you try finding your mate in the forest? The hycwens are a decent lot and just imagine what your kids would look like? Her perfect speech was interrupted by a knock on the door. She expected Gerald, Dominic, or even Freyge. But she was surprised to hear a feminine voice greet her. "Good morning archon alpha," said Olivia as she walked inside. Olivia had been bus

Olivia had expected Valencia’s wardrobe to have rows upon rows of exquisite makeup bottles, accessories, designer dresses, and whatnot. Her face was a mask of disappointment when she opened the wardrobe to find clothes that she could count on her fingers. Still, determined to not be disappointed so quickly, she looked around feeling the walls, knocking on bricks and doors by placing an ear on them.Valencia raised an eyebrow. She was amused by Olivia’s behavior and couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly are you doing?”Olivia frowned, “Please tell me, there is a secret latch somewhere that would open up to a gigantic wardrobe. Don’t make me wait.”Valencia laughed, “Trust me, this is all I have.” She pointed at the open wardrobe before her.Olivia’s mind worked through the images in her mind, coming up with a good look for Valencia. She added “Ok, archon alpha. I may have to take a lead

Gerald had his hand raised on the door and was looking around when he knocked again. "Aww...at least look where you knock," Olivia added as she rubbed her forehead that Gerald had pounded. Gerald's face flushed with relief upon seeing her, "I have been looking all over for you. Do you know how long you have been gone?" Olivia embraced her husband as she wove her hands around his waist, "Did the kids give you a tough time?" Gerald grinned, "You bet? We played tug of war, me against the lot. Guess which side won every single time." Olivia chuckled as she kissed his cheek, "Sarah has a firm grip and Tom and Edith can yank a tree off its roots. They are growing stronger by the day." Gerald replied as he raised his chin once more to nudge her to kiss him again, "Yup. They were howling with laughter as they saw me fall down. They are one hell of a force. My three musketeers." "Did you lock the doors? I don't want them run

Sarah's eyes welled with tears and Valencia looked around helplessly. She didn't know how to stop a child from crying. But she tried, "Sarah, you will one day be the bravest werewolf in the history of lycans." Fat drops of tears splattered Sarah's cheeks, which she rubbed away with the back of her hand. "I promise that," she said as she looked at Valencia confidently. For some reason, Valencia wasn't angry with her. While her parents profusely apologized for their girl's behavior, Sarah didn't say a word and went back to studying the scenery outside the window. Valencia chuckled as she could see the makings of a confident and badass alpha in little Sarah- a girl who had turned the lycan world upside down and established new rules for them. She could see herself in Sarah. Gerald announced a minute later, "We have arrived." Valencia was glad to step out of the car, the question asked by Sarah churning through her mind. She had practiced and rehearsed wh

The alphas sputtered as if trying to rekindle a dying fire. They eyed each other nervously and one of them tried sounding confident, “Ar...Archon alpha, it would be really kind of you, if you would let us receive the same benefit as your beta.” Valencia raised her eyebrow, “And, what is that?” “Rumors have been rife that your blood has been important in helping your beta find a mate and successfully have not one but three cubs. Something, we haven't witnessed in ages.” Gerald uttered a guttural sound but Valencia looked amused, “So you all want me to offer you my blood to drink and magically regain your virility?” The crowd broke into hysterical laughter as the man who had spoken up was reduced to mortal shame. It was a common saying that between death by a blade and death by mortification, one would choose the former. Dominic spoke when the laughter had died down, “Archon alpha, what my good friend tried but failed at communicating is that we
Last Updated : 2021-10-22The Undead Alpha Two can play the game
The werewolves looked at each other skeptically, nobody uttered a word as the hall had gone eerily silent. Valencia looked alarmed. Of course, she didn’t believe that Dominic would do such a thing. But now was not the time to give friendship a priority. She asked in an edgy voice, “I thought you could do better, Dominic.” Dominic met her eyes with a steely gaze. She knew he wouldn’t speak unless she made him respond to her. He was prideful in that way. He smiled unnervingly, “So, I see the archon alpha has come to a conclusion. I guess the verdict is out.” He looked at her as if to signal, Two could play the game. Valencia’s eyes raked him. She loved and hated him at the same time for being cheeky. Why did he have to constantly push her? If there was someone who was smiling it was Mark. He was practically gloating at the effect he had had on the meeting. He stepped forward, “Archon alpha, I think we should strip this bastard of all his

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
The Undead Alpha See you soon
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
The Undead Alpha I will wait for you
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
The Undead Alpha Leave
“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 Undead Alpha Bedtime story
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
The Undead Alpha Mindless beast
“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
