Alex gingerly picked his way down the gravel path to go outside the palace and check what was going on. The howling had stopped but he needed to confirm. He walked past the royal garden. A garden that has welcomed guests in the years past now and will probably be invaded by their enemies if he doesn't fight this war with his power.Alex gritted his teeth, anger firing his blood as it did when he first saw his sister murdered in cold blood. He could also remember from childhood when his stepmother died. As always, his fury mixed with a grudging attitude to how stupid and weak his father had been to have allowed all his family to be killed. Now they are seeking to kill him but he would make sure he lets them know he is smarter and wiser. Everywhere was silent and when he got to the bushy part where nobody was staying and it was miles away from his palace, all he could hear was the cricket sound."I know you're out there. Come outside and show yourself."If not for the obligation thrust
Alex looked at Bagdana curiously as he asked, "Who the heck is Alichino?" Bagdana chuckled and walked around him graciously. "Why are you surprised? Didn't your mother ever tell you anything?" "My mother is late." He swallowed hard as he said those words. He hated to talk about her since she died before he even knew her. "Oh, dear me. She finally gave in to the mortal end." His reaction looked pained and real. There was silence for a long time before Alex decided to talk again. "I need to know who you are, why you're calling me a strange name, and all other nonsense stuffs you are performing right now. Just fucking tell me!" Bagdana held out his hand towards him. "I am Bagdana, it's nice to finally—" "My name is Alex. King Alex. Alpha of the Wolf Pack, King of Forester." He held his gaze for a while as he said those words as if he was trying to let them sink into his memory. His cold steel-blue eyes fixed on him. Bagdana moved away from him and faced the dark alleyway that stre
He fumbled his way to the window. In the street he could hear the cry of frightened horses stomping in the mud, their hooves crackling against the stones of the walls that kept them in place. Far below him where he could see passers-by, he could see a terrified-looking beautiful lady looking around and screaming loudly. Almost like a screech.The screaming grew louder and louder as the horses kept running about. Wolves rushed out of the palace to surround her and it felt like a war was about to go on. But, she was only a woman in need of help.Rex looked through his binoculars and saw what he had been waiting for. Who, he had been waiting for—the star whom the soothsayer had asked him to wait for."Can it be true?" He wondered aloud as he rubbed his face nervously with his hands. "It can't be. How do I explain to my wife that I'm going to marry another woman? She'll think it's because she hasn't given me a child." He pondered to himself.In the east, the sun began slowly to rise. It w
The clock struck 8:30 am and as Selena woke up, she looked to her side and saw that it was empty. Again, Alex hadn't slept in. She could hear the birds singing and the sun was high in the clouds. She got down from the bed but stumbled upon a large wrapped box on the study table where Alex had been sitting the previous night before they had gotten intimate with each other. Her stomach churned at the thought and if she had done the right thing, Alex wouldn't have left her stranded in the room. She took the large silk-covered package and walked back to the bed, where she placed the object on her lap. As she slowly unwrapped the parcel, her excitement grew. Had Alex dropped a gift for her? What has been going on lately? "You found the gift earlier than I thought it would take." She lifted her eyes and she could see Alex by the door, dressed casually in a grey shirt and black pants. His hair was still wet which indicated he had just gotten out of the shower. Without her. Without her? Why
Author's Note: As we all know already, this is not a regular werewolf story. It has a combination of almost every supernatural being. The main powers of most of our main characters are wolves. Best believe that this book is intriguing, and captivating and doesn't focus on just the main leads. If you've always wanted something of this sort, welcome home, Alphabeticans. KEep REading what you LOve! Krepe sat at the long table and stared into the fading embers of the fire. Ethan slumped in a large wooden chair by the hearth. He had in one hand a bottle of scotch as he stared into space. Ethan must have been shooting arrows again. "You look like you're not ready for a conversation, Ethan." Krepe started to say. "I thought you'd at least wait till when I call the shots before planning when to attack." Ethan just sat down there, without moving and he almost thought his nephew had fallen asleep. "I would say we do this with care, though. Forester is not a place we can majestically walk in a
Alex grabbed Bagdana out of Selena's room to the drawing room as he made to inquire about what he just told him. "What did you mean by activating my orb? I still don't get you." "Well, Alichino..." "Alex." He corrected, eyes shut tightly in frustration. "It's Alexander, thank you. You may proceed." "So, according to the book which I told you about. It's called the Galaxus. It was compiled by ancient idols and spirits and poltergeists and many more. We had from Jove, Poseidon, and damn, I even got from the goddess of wisdom, Athene..." "Just cut to the chase, will you?" "Okay, the thing is. You can't really understand unless I have the book. The only thing I remembered when creating you...I mean the orb was that your powers will be activated when you mate with your fated partner. I quoted the book." He looked up as if he was trying to remember more words. "And the person..." "Why didn't you choose my brother?" He asked and it was as if he has had the question for years. "Why n
"Selena?" He called gently and she was sure he was shocked by the way she acted but she had just learned something vital from what he had said when he said he didn't want her to leave the Palace. He must have cared so much for her and she was grateful for that. "I'm sorry if I had been so harsh earlier. I know I shouldn't have been disrespectful, given how you just want to protect me." She looked up at him, a small smile playing on her lips. "Thank you." "Um..." He chuckled nervously as if he was lost for words and didn't know what to say. "That was...today is your birthday, just enjoy it." Slowly, he disentangled himself from her embrace and walked past her but she grabbed his arm. "I can't enjoy this birthday until I see my Dad. Can't I go just this once?" Alex groaned and turned. "You don't seem to understand, do you?!" He spat. "Every corner is dangerous and I cannot risk losing another member of the palace." Her heart sank. He didn't want her to go because he didn't want t
It has been two hours already since she had a discussion with Alex and she decided to wait in her room for her Father. Many things crossing her mind. Marrying Alex had involved lots of uncertainty. It felt like she was marrying a total stranger but marrying him seemed good which is something she guessed is a good sign he was meant for her and they may end up forever. After Craig's death, she thought of freedom, she thought she would be finally free from marrying her father's choice, she thought she would be able to travel freely, fall in love and get married to the man of her dreams but she didn't expect another marriage proposal a day after Craig died. But had she really moved on? She asked herself. Hadn't she given in to her feelings again, trying to make Alex fall for her too? Was he right when he said she was still grieving Craig? Even Craig didn't make her blood boil in excitement just like he did, so of what effect is his death on her romantic life? What's more important is
