All Chapters of My Lord Alpha: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

As they came outside the complex, a black, polished coach with horses was waiting for them.He opened the door and held it for her, she got in and took a seat, and he joined her. The coachman whipped the horses and the carriage began to move.Candice looked around this strange coach, she had never been in one before. She had seen it in many classical movies, but in her world, they had gone extinct. What people usually utilized as a form of transportation were cars, bikes, trains, and airplanes that usually ran on petrol or diesel. A few population drove Tesla cars that were electronic, but a vast percentage of the population used vehicles that functioned on fossil fuel."Why are there no cars on plane Woede? I know you have been to my own world, you have seen the development there," she asked.Wayne's eyes were focused on the view outside the window as they rode by "It is not as simple as you think, the matter is complex.""What is making it complex? I know money is not the problem,"

"What?" Wayne asked looking perplexed.Candice who had been acting oblivious, but observing them from her position on the couch, inclined her ears. Interested to hear what was causing the decline in the hinterlands.Sabine resumed her reading "Any plane affected who desires to overcome must take off the branch from the tree of life, grind it to powder, and pour it over the dead shard. Once the piece crumbles to dust, the veil shall once again be made whole. This is a tested and trusted remedy."Sabine clasped the book closed after she was done reading and folded her hands across her chest. She looked up at Wayne who had begun to rub his chin in thought, his eyes grew hooded in contemplation."Don't even think about it Wayne, it's impossible.""It seems to be the only way," he grated."Do you know where the tree of life is? It is planted in Hades' lair. Would you enter the realm of the immortals? It's dangerous," she objected."How ironical, that the tree of life should be hidden in a

Wayne stood at the edge of the cliff.Sabine's portal had taken him straight to the area where the immortal realm trans- versed on the earth's plane. His walk from where he had crossed over to this spot, was a moderate walk of about two kilometers. On his way up here, he had passed through eucalypt groves, plenty of dead trees, and hollow logs strewn around. Red and grey gums grew along subsidence cracks and stringy bark, and narrow-leaved trees dotted the landscape. All these reminded him of the exact state of the hinterlands, strengthening his resolve.Hades' lair as the amortals referred to it, was located in Sydney, Australia. The humans had named it 'Burning Mountain', because of a mysterious, never-quenching fire which burned from thirty meters underground up to the surface and expelled a continuous cloud of smoke through the vent, consuming the elevated plateau and leaving it bare and barren. Humans believed that the fire had been raging for over five thousand years. Well, they

At that moment, a male walked up to them out of the dance group.He was beckoning on them to join in the dance.They both politely declined, but he would not budge. He held onto Candice's hand, pleading with her to join him. When his persuasion was getting too dramatic, Sabine urged her to join him for a short dance.Immediately they got to the dance floor, the music on the stereo changed from a rowdy La Bamba to a slow salsa.Males and Females broke up from the circle into a pair of twos."Can you dance the salsa?" The bare-chested, hot-looking guy asked."I don't know how to dance any dance," she said shyly.Honey-colored eyes winked at her "Anyone can dance. Especially someone so beautiful as you," he said taking her hands "just follow my lead, beautiful."Unsure of what to do, she let him hold her hands and lead her. They began to move with slow steps.The male was well built with an athlete's body, he was five feet nine inches. A good height compared to her small frame, his hair

Candice ran up the steps of the porch.Jordan sent her a salute her way, but she ran past him and pushed the double doors open into the living room of the mansion.There she skidded to a halt as her eyes fell on a familiar face.Seated on one of the plush leather chairs was the one person she had longed for, missed so dearly, and craved to see for weeks now.It was her dearest friend, Bernice.She was wearing a beige halter neck top with brown khaki shorts, matching white sneakers adorned her feet. Her black mass of hair was pulled into a firm knot behind her head. She looked the same, yet at the same time she seemed different."Candice…" Bernice got up from her seat.Like a magnetic force field, they ran into each other's embrace. The room seemed to fade away, leaving the two to exist in their own spotlight. Tears welled and streamed down their faces, arms crisscrossed along shoulder and waist, their body shook in the throes of their joy."I'm so sorry," they both said simultaneously
