All Chapters of Alpha Cepheus: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Every two years, the packs all over North, South, East and West, gather for the Mating Ceremony held in our pack located in the North, The Loropoulus pack. Considering we are the biggest of all the packs and holds the Northern Territory, the Ceremony is a big deal. Our pack get to host the event for everyone else. We have a huge arena that spans the whole of our territory, with plenty enough space for the crowd, a great meal and entertainment facilities for the wolves, a place to groom themselves and a place where they can meet people that they like. Everyone looks excited as different packs arrived, The Everinel pack of the South, Omigordion pack of the East, Silverius pack of West. These are all smaller packs, compare to our thousands of pack members, the count of the other packs are less than two hundred. Once their mate is found and united, the mates from other packs who are mated to ours can choose to stay in our pack or leave with their mates, sometimes it takes them days to d

ALPHA CEPHEUS The Mating Ceremony finally started. In the clearing of our vast forest, the newly eighteen-year-old females eagerly awaited their transformation into their wolves and the chance to meet their mates. Everyone was dressed in white, symbolizing the purity and new beginnings this day represented. It was a pivotal moment for many, but for me, it was just another duty as Alpha. As the pack members shifted into their wolves, I stood on the stage, observing the scene. The Alphas of the other packs sat around me, discussing pack politics and alliances, but I was more interested in scanning the crowd. I had an unsettling feeling, a restless energy that I couldn't shake. I hoped this ceremony would bring some clarity. My gaze moved over the newly mated couples, their joy and connection evident in their eyes and actions. I felt a pang of something I rarely allowed myself to acknowledge—loneliness. At thirty, I was still mateless. Despite my power and influence, the Moon God

Alpha Cepheus The encounter with Callista lingered in my mind long after she had left the packhouse. Her presence was like a fleeting shadow, always at the edge of my consciousness. I could sense her unease, her apprehension, and the fear she tried so hard to mask. It stirred something within me, a protectiveness I hadn't felt in years. Returning to my office, I found myself replaying the events of the previous night. I had been patrolling the borders, ensuring the safety of our territory, when I saw her in the forest. Her scent was unmistakable, a mix of fresh bread and wildflowers, different from any other. I had watched her from a distance, curious and drawn to her in a way I couldn't explain. When she ran, it was instinctive to follow, but I held back. The fear in her eyes had stopped me cold. "Alpha, you seem preoccupied," Beta Caxius observed as he entered my office, carrying another box of pastries. I sighed, leaning back in my chair. "It's nothing. Just a lot on my min

CALLISTA I had to calm myself a couple of times, washing my face with cold water, I guess I will cook for the Alpha and I. I started moving in the kitchen, I will make a steak for both of us, he will probably be hungry when he return from his run. I want to do something for him. I immediately move and started cooking. The time I'm done with the steak and some mix veggies as side dish, I place the plates on the wooden table for both of us. This is makes it a dinner date. Our first date. The thought made me blush. I waited for him patiently, hoping he'll come back so we can atleast have dinner together. After a few moments of anxious waiting, I heard the sound of the door opening. Alpha Cepheus walked in, his hair slightly disheveled, and his eyes returned to their usual piercing blue. He took a deep breath, as if grounding himself, before his gaze met mine. "I'm sorry," he said, his voice low and sincere. "I didn't mean to leave so abruptly." "It's okay," I replied, mana

CALLISTA I woke up to the sterile smell of antiseptic. Blinking against the harsh lights of the infirmary, I tried to sit up, only to feel a gentle but firm hand on my shoulder. I realized I was no longer wearing my black dress, it's now some kind of white hospital pants and a shirt. "Easy there," a soothing voice said. I turned my head to see a kind-faced, middle aged woman Doctor adjusting my IV. "You've had quite a shock. Just rest for now." "Thank you...Doctor." I mumbled lowly. She gave me a warm smile. The memories of the evening immediately crashed back like a bucket of ice poured on my head and I felt my heart race. The face of horror and shock in Bethany's face came back to my memory, "Cepheus," I whispered, needing to know he was alright, that everything was alright. "He's here, Alpha Female" the Doctor who's name is Sandra in her tag, assured me, nodding towards the door. "He hasn't left your side since you were brought in." Being called Alpha Female felt even more st
