View MoreAfter finishing cleaning the attic, Selene took the chance to take a few minutes of rest, since she’d done all the chores given to him by the head-maid.Because of the recent conflict, there were now only three of them there taking care of the house. The head-maid, Ben, and her. She didn’t think that most of the maids working there were under Duncan’s father.She took a deep sigh, looking out into the circular window into the horizon, remembering the incident. Part of her felt sad for the young-alpha, but another side of was envying him.Selene was still staring outside, mop in her hand, while deep in thought when Duncan came in. This got the young-alpha’s face twisting in irritation.“Do you always need to intrude on my personal space?”Duncan roared, letting his rage take over.The walls shook as his voice echoed through the entire room.Caught by surprised, Selene jump in panic, causing her to tumble. Her mop hit the bucket on her feet, spilling the murky water in it, making her sl
Duncan’s rage continued to rage growing inside of him, unable to calm his nerves from the scene a moment ago. Though he now sat on the table, being served by Selene, his face remained straight, eyes sharp, while staring upfront.“Everything good with you, alpha?”Ben’s face twitch with worry, an inexplainable fear creeping into him because of the young-alpha’s murderous expression.‘Was it because of the upcoming fight? Or perhaps it was because they didn’t call him to eat?’ These were the thoughts playing in Ben’s mind. Unable to understand the cause of his alpha’s mood.“Yeah, just swell.”Duncan snorts; it was clear his words was lace with sarcasm.In truth, he had this uncontrollable itch to snap Ben’s neck. He wanted to rip him apart, piece b
Selene sat on the bed, her thoughts lingering on her head on things. With how things were going with her life, she didn’t know where to turn to or what to do next.Her aunt was missing; their house had those odd shadow figures lingering in them, and she was miles away from civilization.She felt so helpless, not knowing how long she’ll be allowed to stay in the pack this time. Her uncertainty stemmed from the fact that everyone there seems to have a problem with her, along with how Duncan reacted to her a while ago.The young-man’s demeanor confused her, shifting from good to bad in a second without a notice. It made her think if her situation would be the same if she went with Lucas instead.She stops pondering when she hears footsteps from the stairs; she rushed to greet whoever was going down to the cellar.“Hey Ben.”She waves the moment she saw the guy. He was wobbling, careful not to fall from the ladder as his legs were unbalanced.“Oh, Selene. I thought you were with the alpha
James Vondeers grumbled in his chair, his expression darkening with each passing moment. His gaze kept shifting from the clock then to the empty seat beside him.The alpha’s silence created this heavy tension in the room, as the others who were seated at the long table barely made any noise, avoiding even the slightest clink of their utensil.“I hope everything is to your liking, James?”Connor Sage, alpha of the Blue snow pack, was the one who gained the courage to break the silence through the room. He gave a sympathetic smile at the other alpha on the other side of the table, as it had been an hour, but he remained alone, barely touching the food they’d prepared.Duncan was nowhere to be found; even his beta, George, was absent on that occasion, though the alpha promised they’d arrive momentarily.This brought murmurs among the others gathered there, as they tried to make conversations to remove the awkwardness.“Alpha James, are you certain Duncan will be joining us today?”Valent
Beta George struggled with each step he made, yet he persevered, continuing to move in painful strides. He needed to inform his alpha about this recent discovery, knowing full well it will affect the future of their pack.He was panting from the wound the young-alpha gave him, his blood gushing out, leaving a trail because it would not heal.A rustling from the nearby bushes made him stop; the waft of a familiar scent forced him to change his stance, crouching in preparation for a fight.“Come out, I know you’re there!”George shouts, gritting his teeth. It’s been years since someone manage to get past his detection.Though wounded, his senses remained as before, which meant the person who followed him was no doubt skilled. And from that, he already knew who it was, since there were only a few who’d managed to elude him.From the shadows, a tall, slender figure emerge, walking in such a graceful fashion and fluidity, it was like the person was gliding through the air.“You seem to be
Thankfully, Julieta and Ben were there to assist Duncan, as midway up the stairs, he lost any remaining strength he had, almost collapsing when his legs gave in.The two carefully help the young-alpha into his bed, while Selene followed in silence, afraid she might get in the way.“You sure you’re okay, alpha?”Ben asked after they’d put him in bed, seeing as Duncan’s breathing was slow and he could barely keep his eyes open.“We can still call your mother’s doctor. He hasn’t left town yet.”Julieta was tucking him in, patting his forehead to make sure nothing was wrong with him, as this wasn’t considered normal for them.“I’m fine! I just need to rest.”Duncan grumbled, turning to his side to make himself comfortable. Though he was weakened, it was actually from a sense of tiredness, nothing more.Though he didn’t want to admit it, avoiding to sound pathetic in front of them. Also, he wanted to understand why he ended up like that in the first place.Julieta and Ben looked at each ot
Selene, Julieta, and Ben hurried towards the door to open it when they saw Duncan walking for the entrance. They didn’t wait for him to knock, as Julieta unlocked the door the minute she got there.“Alpha!”Ben and the head-maid screamed in unison when Duncan stepped inside. Selene wanted to come closer, but ended up stopping in her tracks the moment she saw he had no clothes.“You’re bleeding!”She muttered unconsciously, before averting her gaze.Crimson liquid covered the young-alpha’s entire body. Some had dried up, but most of it remained glistening from being fresh.“The blood’s not mine.”Duncan huffed, heaving a sigh as he wiped some from his face.“Are you all right, alpha?”Ben frowned, swallowing hard when his gaze shifted outside.Most of the werewolves there were still unconscious, while some who withstood the young-alpha’s attack were now patching themselves up to the best they can because regenerating was impossible, since the wounds they received came from an alpha.“N
All they could do was stare out the window, watching Duncan break the key in front of the group. They all gasp, seeing this, but what got them worried more was how the nearby packs were already crouched for an attack.Selene nearly screamed in shock when Duncan got pounced, seeing blood and bodies splattering on the ground when the young-alpha retaliated.Her heart couldn’t take it, so she ended up backing away from the scene. She was catching her breath, unable to control her palpitations, as dread clawed on her.“Will he be okay?”She murmured to the two who remained staring out the window, tears swelling in her eyes when she caught the murderous gaze being thrown her way by the head maid.“Do not try that on me, girl! Your tears will not change the fact that you cause all this!”Julieta snarls, squinting her eyes at her in such a way it looked like she wanted to crush her with her gaze.Selene averted her eyes from them, looking down to her feet in utter shame and fear.“Julieta, s
True to his words, the current alpha sent several guards to Duncan’s estate the next morning, when the young-man didn’t comply with his orders.The tension in the room was heavy, it was enough to create this breath-taking unease. Ben and Julieta kept pacing back and forth, peeking through the curtains to check on their surroundings on every side of the house.Duncan, on the other hand, remained standing in front of the large window facing the front of his mansion. He stood there like a guard, menacingly observing on the things happening outdoors.“Your father wasn’t kidding, alpha. There’s about a dozen pack outside.”Ben was gasping for air when he returned to his side.Duncan grit his teeth. His father was onto him, he was sure of that.Before, he wouldn’t have bothered with him. His old man’s reasoning last t
With a deep breath, Selene takes her first step out of the bus, ready for another challenge. A ray of sunshine flash before her, forcing her to race a hand to her face, as the beam from the setting sun prickled her skin. Her heart raced upon glimpsing at the scenery of reddish skies kissing the mountains. Along with the lush forest all around. Unlike her hometown, filled with buildings, bustling cars, and people. The place was teeming with trees and other plants. Few vehicles drove by the long road, and the highest structures were a three story clock tower, resembling those of olden times. After having her fill of the view, she reaches for her pocket, fishing out the piece of paper she received from the mail, reading the notes and drawn map on it. She swallowed hard, wandering her gaze to search for the landmark which was shown there. Nervous that she might be in the wrong place. A strong wind blew by when the bus left, causing her to let out a loud squeal when the gust lifted he...
