My wolf was in a very good mood, liking what has happened so far. My body was warm from using the commander as a training partner, and we were still ready to go a few rounds if that could be arranged. But said commander was currently.... indisposed."Player! You may move to the next room and await your verdict"The alarm kept blaring. I already had some level of control because I was able to loosen my grip on the commander, and his limp body slumped to the ground. We hadn't killed him really, he was still alive. Just too weak to stay on his own two feet.I turned around and walked towards a door opposite where I stood, and finally walked through it.It was a corridor, and a young Beta, older or younger than I was, led me to a room. It was a dressing room, and some of my normal clothes were already hung in the closet. I took my time dressing, still realising that my claws were still out and my other senses still heightened. I sat on the bench after dressing and let my tissues slowl
My wolf was behaving weird, even weirder than before. She was hyper and super active, jumping around inside of me. My body immediately went tense in shock and fear, she only ever did this when she really thought I was in danger, and the next thing that usually occurs right after was for her to take complete control, and then she turned everything to ash. Literally."Miss Cassie. King Jade has told us many great things about you. The work your parents did for this pack. The sacrifice that they made years ago, we would never forget. We chose to place you in that environment, we watched you grow and we wanted the society to train you, to make you the greatest warrior wolf that ever lived, and look at you. Your specs during all the fighting was....outstanding. Your mental strength and skills are the one to beat. You truly are in this moment on your way to becoming the greatest commander ever" Said the old Alpha.It was dead quiet, everywhere. Especially inside me. My wolf and I had go
Everything felt so serene in his presence. The wind was blowing nicely against my skin and the trees were swaying gently in response to the wind. I was captivated by everything about him. Right now he wasn't the Demon King of the Underworld, he was just a man. A powerful looking beautiful man.Hades was tall, very tall for a man with about six feet and two inches. He was lean and had the body of a surfer. He had very dark long wavy hair, down to his shoulders, his eyes were a colour I had never seen before, almost like the mixture of all the colours, but not black at the same time. And he had the most gorgeous smile. Everything I knew about the King seemed different when I looked at the man. King Hades was the most corrupt, evil, and most dangerous King to ever be created, he literally ruled all the wolf demons in the Underworld. I knew all this because of Egyptian mythology, something that I had loved when I was in school. I couldn't add up the fact that this beautiful man was t
"The Carnage everywhere in the world has been reported to be catastrophic. The Wolf United Union of Nations had declared a one month rejuvenating period for all the nations that have experienced considerable loss. This sudden attack on the world has everybody questioning the future of the planet, are we safe here? We will have more information after the world leader's meeting later today. Now handing over to our weather reporter. Have a good day everyone"I changed the station after that, and watched a muted cartoon station for the next thirty minutes. I was back at John's place, on the same couch and watching the same TV that had been here last time. There was a huge opened bag of popcorn that I was diligently munching on.We had arrived back at the house after the flight a few hours ago. No one had asked questions as we all dispersed to various parts of the house. I was now here enjoying a quiet afternoon by myself."Cassie! I have someone on the phone for you!" Shouted Mr Grego
"We should do this often" said Emily We had just come out of a boutique and we each had several bags in a hand each. I had been in a daze throughout out our shopping spree, going from one shop to another to buy clothes and bags, something Emily said we would be needing at the Academy"I thought we would be using uniforms," I said sourly."That was high school sweetheart," she replied, laughing.It was a long day after that, buying things Emily said was absolutely necessary. I didn't mind all the spending. In fact it was past due time I spent the money in the account my parents had opened for me. Something I had hardly done my whole life. If there was a good way to start, I thought it was this."My father is in the admitting committee at the Academy. He is a pure Alpha, hence why I am a half Alpha breed. My father has lots of money and so I don't mind wasting it. I didn't realise your father or guardian or whatever had money as well, those were some really expensive stuff we just
Classes started the following Monday morning. My timetable had two days out of the week where I had serious classes, and the other three were for training. Then with final exams after every six months. They divided the two years we were supposed to spend in school into four, Alpha one all the way to Alpha four.I wore my training uniform that morning, the only customised clothing that we all wore when we were here for school, apart from that we were to wear normal casual clothes for classes.I wore my tracksuit and walked out of my room that morning. I was supposed to meet my teammates at Gamma one, one of the several training grounds in school. It was looking like an exciting day already.It was a while before I found my way to the huge hall. Voices from inside reached my ears as I opened the huge doors.Several pairs of eyes swung to where I stood by the door. Familiar faces and yet not.I looked at my watch and I was only a few minutes late. I walked as fast as I could and joined
My roommate had arrived sometime during the weekend. In fact most of the students had arrived and only a handful remained. I never said a word to her the entire time we met, mostly because she snubbed me and I wasn't one to normally instigate a conversation. So we skirted around the other, not saying anything since then till now."That's the roommate I told you about. She actively acts like I am not in the room with her. Maybe you might know her" I said Monday evening after the whole drama in the morning."Oh. Damn. That's Julia. She...is in Alpha two with me. I guess she just doesn't like you, and it is most likely because of all the news surrounding you" replied Dominic."I don't know her yet. But she looks like a bitch" added Emily We were all going for a stroll and Dominic was showing us around. I had introduced them earlier when we had all met and they hit it off immediately."Just... be careful. She is one of Teresa's minions. And Teresa is Jonathan's.....bitch" he finished.
Someone attacked last night, or tried to. I had been asleep the whole time but I remember someone standing over me in the middle of the night. His sharp claws elongated and he swiftly tried slicing through my exposed neck. My wolf had quickly shot my hand out to block and then to attack. i didn't know how badly she hurt the person but when I woke up this morning I remembered what had happened and there was a lot of blood by the side of my bed and it's wet trail out the door.The noise of the people surrounding me got me back to the present. I was in Alpha one A, one of the three classes under Alpha one. And we were currently having a techniques and analysis class. And it was boring."I'll be taking over from here" said Jonathan to the professor currently taking us as he walked into the hall.I yawned loud because I hadn't had as much sleep as I would have liked to, and I would really like it if everyone went quiet so I could have it.Jonathan's eyes skimmed everyone until it landed
Our footsteps rang out as we walked back into the castle. The noise of the crowd was still reaching my ears after that little speech I and Hades gave. I thought we would get back into the elevator and then back into the new suite that I was staying in but Hades pulled me into one of the rooms in the hallway then closed the door on the guards that were accompanying us."Are you okay?" He asked, looking worried."I am" I replied as I nodded.Our heads both bent down to look at my stomach. It was showing a little bit for over three months."You told them about the baby" I said to him "I did. They were excited for us" he replied with a soft smile"I need to keep you safe," he said, pulling me close. He looked really very worried again."I am safe with you. I promise I won't let pride or any sort of duty keep me from protecting peanuts here. Apart from you, he is the single most important person in my life" I said to him earnestly.He immediately pulled me close and shoved his face into m
A shot came out of nowhere. I was facing Hades and we were both talking about something, now that I think about it I can't remember what it was we were talking about, but a shot came high above from the left side and it came for me. Hades was fast and immediately removed me from the position, and I heard the loud boom that followed it's impact on where I just left. Hades held me tight to him and we were suddenly moving very fast. The guards that were hiding immediately appeared and surrounded us. They had shields out that were covering I and Hades as we rushed back to the palace. Several other loud sounds followed us, very close to where we were but managed not to hit anyone. We were soon inside the palace and I could hear barks of orders from Hades as he shouted at the guards. He went into the elevator and then down underground to the several floors of building we had.He was breathing heavily by the time we appeared inside a new suite. He sat me on the very good looking couch i
We went home silently and uneventfully. The barrier was easy to breach of course with the help of forest whom by the way I hadn't seen once on this entire trip, I was too down and exhausted to play with him and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. The royal demon wolf guards were waiting for us when we arrived and they immediately escorted us back to the castle.The castle was quiet when we arrived, almost as if it had been completely cleared out before we arrived. Hashira and a few familiar council members were waiting for us but I ignored them as well and went straight into our bedroom. It was a little while before Hades joined me. By the time he arrived I was under heaps of blankets shivering and my teeths chattering because I was so very cold. All he did was find me amidst the mountain of blankets and then he held me close."Hades" said after my body had calmed down."Yes?" He asked."You are in love with me" I said softly.He was quiet for a moment, but he couldn't deny it. I t
"It is nice out today" I said to him after a while."Isn't it? I am glad you like it" he replied."Rain is coming though" I said, my eyes trained on the dark clouds far in the horizon, watching them as they got closer and closer to where we were."Yes I see that as well. We can't stay out for long, we have to get back soon" he replied."Of course," I said as I nodded."Where do you want to go in particular?" He asked me.I looked around at the far outstretched land in front of me. The huge grassy field we were currently on. To my far left was a very dense looking forest and to my far right was the edge of a cliff."Let's go to the cliff. I hear it's an amazing view" i said pointing at my right."As you wish" he said as we headed that way."Woah" I whispered the moment my feet touched the ground.The view in front of me was absolutely breathtaking. Even more so than the way Angela had described it for me.There was a small waterfall right underneath the cliff and after that was a vast
"What is the number one priority to both of us?" He asked."Obviously the barrier and making sure it remains unbreached" I replied."Exactly. We have to focus everything that we have on that, together as a team. This is a new evil that we are facing and we do not know how strong this force is and what it is truly here to do. What I know is that we stay together, at all times, promise me" he said as he looked into my eyes."I promise. Together "I promised him."Good" he said as he nodded " I'II scheduled that visit to the facility. Let us see face to face what we are dealing with" he said to me."Yes" I said. My heart was really heavy and I just had to lay my head on the table, trying to stabilise myself. What was all this coming from? I didn't like it one bit, it was honestly not good for my mental health."Hey. Let us go to your horses" he said as he pulled me up and literally had to drag me with him as we walked out of the study."How are you so cheerful? After what we just heard"
I woke up the next day happy and feeling lighter than I have felt in a very long time. I left Hades on the bed and went ahead with my morning body routine in the bathroom and dressed down before leaving our room. It was around eight and I knew Hades would stay asleep till early noon. I was sure we didn't have any plans.went to the kitchen and immediately made toast and then made coffee in a takeaway cup before leaving the castle through the side door. I hurried to the stable where I found that they were already feeding the horses for the morning."My Queen" bowed Angela. She was one of the many workers I met yesterday, she was a little younger than me, tall with beautiful dark hair and blue eyes "Hello Angela. You are all up early" I said as I looked around."Good morning""Morning my Queen"Several of the workers said as they saw me."Good morning everyone" I said out loud.Looking at them now there were not as many as they were yesterday. If anything they had reduced by half. I co
We spent the rest of the evening soaking up in the tub before we came out and finally got that wash down from my husband. We both came out of the bathroom and then into the closet room before dressing up as comfortably as we could."I will have the servants ready the snacks. You go ahead" I said to him as we parted ways at the top of the stairs. I went down and headed straight to the kitchen where I met with several of the cooks there."Hello. I am glad you haven't finished up for the evening" I said to them as I smiled.About three women were marinating chicken while two other males were stocking up the pantry. They all wore uniforms and looked very professional and coordinated."My queen" they said as they all bowed."You are all busy. Let me do it myself" | grumbled to myself as I went ahead to look for where the corn was kept. I found the butter, sugar and milk. But where was the...?"Here my queen" said one of the women as she passed me a bag of corn seeds.It was easy from heat
We went back to the castle silently. The mood between us was dull and tense, like a tight rope being stretched, any moment now it would reach its elastic limit and snap. I could just feel it. We walked into the castle and I could see that Hades was struggling to say something."Let me go freshen up" I said softly to Hades without looking at him.I immediately turned and walked away, climbing the stairs and getting back into our room. I needed some privacy. I walked into the bathroom and shut the door, then immediately pulled out my body care products. I felt the need to pamper myself. I needed to distract myself from everything or I felt like I would just shatter.I spent most of the day first of all taking care of my hair. It was now long rather than the short hair it used to be, and now hair wash days were no longer a breeze the way they used to be. It took me forever to pre-poo, then shampoo, deep condition, leave in conditioner and then seal my hair, before finally styled it.
"You do know that most of us at the academy were related to royalty one way or the other right?" She asked incredulously."Really? I always just thought your grandparents or fathers were all commanders or something" I replied."Well about seventy percent yes. In Fact I think almost all of the students at the academy are one way or the other related to a Commander. A lot of us in the other hand, are related to royalty. Like me" she explained."That explains how you were so grounded, you grew up basically knowing that you were going to rule Lamar one day" I said."Exactly" she replied "so how have you been? Is there a reason why you haven't aged a day since you left?" She added, looking at me with pure envy."Time is slower there" I replied in a chuckle "you still look beautiful by the way, royalty fits you" I said to her.We laughed it off and continued our small talk. It was really nice catching up with her."Where are the guys? Emily and Bryan? Achu and Anthony?" I asked her eagerly.
