"I'm sure this will seem strange to you. But I'm happy to tell you that after a lot of years, this Manor had been taken back from the imposter" Alpha Nolan addressed the gathering in the yard.The gathering muttered indinstinctly. It was clear that they were not welcoming him."You address them, now" Alpha Nolan snarled at the Mage."This is the new Alpha of the Manor" the Mage endorsed him. "The announcement will be made properly tomorrow. This is just to let you know we now have a new Alpha. He is the Lord of all guards, maids and servants in this Manor" he said conclusively.The gathering kept chattering as they moved away. They were obviously confused and with the Mage endorsement, they had no choice than to murmur."I'm taking a tour round the Manor" Alpha Nolan said loudly after the gathering had dispersed. He waved at Sophie to join him.The three of them went outside. Alpha Nolan kept checking around. He couldn't get satisfied.Sophie was surprised to see Cassandra coming tow
Present day.Sophie rushed to CassandraCassandra had fallen down and was groaning hard after pulling the dolls apart."Do not let him escape" Cassandra gargled. "Go after him" she pointed forward.Alpha Nolan started moving away slowly.The Mage held him down with all his strength but Alpha Nolan continued his movement dragging the Mage along.Sophie stared around searching for Crookdove. He was nowhere to be found.Alpha Jones ran out from nowhere with David. They both jumped on Alpha Nolan.Alpha Nolan threw both of them away with a punch. Both of them groaned as they landed on the ground.The Mage was still holding him tight.Sophie ran into him and kicked him to the ground. She looked around but she still couldn't catch a glimpse of Crookdove."Where's Crookdove?" Alpha Jones asked anxiously."I can't find him" Sophie was angry.Alpha Nolan got up again to start running away. He pushed Sophie off her body and continued running to a cornerSophie ran after him. She got to his side
"What could be happening?" Sophie moaned. She was just getting ready to sleep but she couldn't, as noises and groans kept coming from all sides.It was definitely some of her father's unruly soldiers. They were very good at carrying out his orders and better at causing disturbancesShe sprang from her bed and headed to the hallway of their big house. She wanted to speak sense in to those unreasonable soldiers.She heard snapping of necks before she could get to the door of her room. "What?!" she exclaimed. "Those idiots are killing each other?" she wondered what had gotten over them.She got into the hallway and found some bodies, freshly murdered. She had to alert her father that his soldiers had gone mad. She tiptoed to the throne room. There was no one there. She could still hear groaning and fighting noises coming from all sides.It had now become obvious to her. There was a war going on in their house. How it started and whoever started it was a mystery to her. She turned to r
Two days ago."Not again" Sophie moaned sadly as some little boys in chains were ushered in by her father's soldier.They were the victims of her father's raid. His future soldiers. That was how he had been executing unsanctioned raid on weaker packs.Sophie was nearly in tears as she watched the innocent boys. She had tried speaking to her father to stop the raids but he wouldn't listen."Sophie, Sophie" Alpha Nolan, Sophie's father called weakly. She looked up and saw her father being walked in by two of his soldiers supporting him on both sides. "I'm dying, Sophie" he cried out.Sophie was astounded. Her father rarely arrived in this state. He was wounded and dying Despite not being in support of his raids, she wouldn't leave him to die."To his room" she said hastily to the soldiers helping him.He was really dying like he said. From his eyes, she deduced he must have been struck by Silverette, his own weapon. Silverette was liquid silver mixed with blood to flow easily within
"There is a man out there, waiting to see you. He won't say anything unless unless you are there" David narrated, anger was audible in his voice. The said person seemed to have provoked him in some ways"Who is he?" Alpha Jones asked slowly. He was not expecting anyone and the Mage did not foresee any visitor."I have no idea, Alpha" David replied curtly and headed back out.Alpha Jones followed him to the throne room. He saw Matt, standing gallantly with his chest rising high everytime he breathed in. He was a man that seemed to have gone through a lot."Alpha Nemesis?" Matt gasped."That is not his name" David voiced out angrily."I'm Alpha Jones" Alpha Jones waved at David to calm him down. He sat down on his throne staring inquisitively at Matt."I'm Matt from Alpha Nolan's pack" he said without regulating his intense breath."I've heard a lot about your Alpha, why are you here?" Alpha Jones asked calmly."You've heard a lot? Then why are you still seated there not doing anything?
Present day.Sophie woke up in a dark cell after she felt water splashing over her. She sat up immediately.She was in shackles, she realized that as she tried moving her hands and legs. She was on the bare floor.She looked up and saw two fierce guards standing over her. Last night's experience flooded into her memory.Prina was hot with anger. She could feel her trying to override her. But she kept calm. One of the guards removed her shackles and pulled her up.Prina had finally taken over her. "Argh!" Sophie groaned hard, clenching her fist. She knew well that fighting now was not a good idea but it was too late. She headbutt the guard close to her. He fell flat on his back. He seemed weak to Sophie but he couldn't help him. This was Prina's time.She grabbed the other one and threw him to the wall. She dashed out of the cell.She felt a heavy blow at the back of her head. She fell on her face. Prina cowered and shrunk from the surface. She turned slightly to see her beater. It w
Alpha Jones walked in hurriedly. He was unsettled. He felt bad a bit about the decision he made but that was the right thing to do, he consoled himself. Sophie shouldn't be left with her wolf. She was dangerous and she would just be like her father. But the Moon Goddess was just a poor matchmaker, to have made someone like her his mate. Alpha Jones had vowed never to take any mate. Even if she was the best in all ramifications. To him, love was a weakness and a tendency to make bad decisions. It would distort judgement. And that wouldn't be good for the cause he had chosen to fight for. If he dwelled in love, he might become one of those he used to fight against. That was always his thoughts. Luckily, he had never ran into any mate until Sophie. He was certain she was the one. The expulsion of her wolf made Gate, his wolf writhed in pain but he would survive it. They would survive it. He turned around on hearing footsteps. He saw David coming in with a big smile on his face.
"Just follow me" David insisted.Sophie walked after him reluctantly. She had just gotten to the slaves' quarters after the horrible experience. She had accepted her fate and decided to make the best use of it.She retired to the slave's quarters immediately and now David had come to bother her again."Alpha Jones wants to see you, maybe you should walk like your legs are not older than your age" he said to her without looking back.Sophie caught up with him. She was optimistic. She thought Alpha Jones might have wanted to confess his feelings."Why does he want me?" she asked anxiously."He doesn't 'want' you" David emphasized. "He only wants to see you and you can ask him yourself" he shunned her."Okay" Sophie sighed and kept quiet. David seemed to have already seen her mind through her eyes.They continued walking to the throne room. Sophie's heart leapt on each step taken by her.Her eyes fell on Alpha Jones as they entered into the throne room. She kept looking at him to make h
