ALPHA GUNNOLFHer question made me uneasy. I had to be careful with what I told her moving forward, Sometimes, I forgot that I wasn’t a little kid anymore and spilled more than I should,“Alpha Gunnolf Royale,” she said firmly.I got up, and wrung my hands together. “How did you know about that?” I asked suspiciously.I heard her shuffle to her feet. “Stop asking me stupid questions, son. Tell me, does this have anything to do with the human girl in the cell?” She snapped at me.I gritted my teeth. “Mother, I’m not a little kid, and I would appreciate if you spoke to me with respect. The human girl is nothing but an anomaly. I should kill her actually, but something is holding me back. I find her to be very strange. I can’t harm her till I know more about it,” I said stiffly, my shoulders slightly hurting from how rigid I was making them.She moved swiftly, walking in front of me. “Is that all? You think that she is strange? That’s why you locked yourself inside this place for so many
LEONIE“No!” I screamed.My eyes shot open as I stared at the cold dark cell. I felt a presence in the cell, and that only made me creep slowly to the side. Waking up from a nightmare and this feeling was the worst thing to ever happen to me. I only wanted to run, but I didn’t know where to run to.Suddenly, a light flicked in the dark, and I turned my head towards its direction. A pair of oceanic blue eyes stared right at me. A scream tore out of my lips at once, as fear pulled through me.“Be quiet.”It took me several minutes for that statement to register in my brain, and a few more, for me to realise that it was Alpha Gunnolf that was staring right at me.“What do you want from me?” I asked as soon as I could get my bearings,His eyes squinted right at me, and I could feel the cold rage as he looked right at me. It was enough to make me wriggle in my shoes, but I didn’t do that. I won’t shrink for him till I was able to get answers. All these were becoming too much, and I needed t
LINA ROYALEI looked at Leonie in anger. She was so annoying alright. And, she was too stubborn. She didn’t know when to cower and allow things take its course. I hated being asked questions. I was the one who asked the questions, and they answered.Ugh!For some reason, I felt she reminded me so much of my son. They had the same sort of stubbornness that drove one mad. The only difference that this woman was simply a human and had no powers of her own.“What do you decide, young lady?” I asked stiffly.She licked her lips. “How do I trust you?” She asked in fear.I rolled my eyes as I stood upright. Was she seriously asking me that right now? This girl. I did my best to keep my cool, even though I wanted nothing more but to make her pay for her nonsense. She was insanely annoying and that was putting its lightly.“Look, I don’t have all day to answer your questions. It’s a matter of choice, because I see you think you still have the time to make them. But, you don’t. The Alpha can be
LEONIEThere is always something about being imprisoned that I had never understood. It was the feeling of despondence on the faces of the prisoners when I went rounds to find out about things. Now, I could understand. It was hectic.I hated the feeling that I couldn’t breathe, and I was so hungry, drowsy, weak and confused. Then, there was the aspect of the cold that I couldn’t actually ignore. It was just too much, and I
LINA ROYALEI watched Leonie closely, gauging her expression. She looked shocked by my request, but I had no option. She had to stay in the pack for a month so I can access her relationship with my son better. It was definitely more than I had assumed at first, and I needed to be completely sure of my instincts. My son was loosing control of his reign, and if that were to continue, the result would be disastrous for us all, and I didn’t want that to happen.I needed Gunnolf to be in his senses, and reign like he ought to. If he didn’t want my help, I would give it to him without an argument. I was his mother, and I knew what was good or bad for me. I will keep fighting for him till my last breath.“Answer me, Leonie,” I said impatiently. “Will you stay here for a month or you want to remain in the cell for the rest of your life, at the peril of Alpha Gunnolf Royale,” I asked calmly.She swallowed hard.I watched as she shook, trying to get her bearings. I didn’t see why it was so dif
LEONIEI watched her go, as I cradled the whistle with my two hands. The queen was such a mean woman, and I just didn’t get her. How could someone make you feel good and bad at the same time. It really didn’t make sense. I just didn’t get it.I sighed as I looked down at the whistle. The guards were oblivious of what was going on. They saw me as dirt, and of course paid no mind to me, which was good since I wanted to observe what this was closely. I needed to understand what was going on and how to handle that in the best way possible.The whistle was shaped like an animal. I thought hard, and I realised it was a wolf. Come to think of it, these people had been shifting into wolves. It was just that I had been oblivious to it all. I gasped in shock. It only reiterated the fact that I had to get out of here. But, I knew I wouldn’t be able to fight them off so easily. I had to do something. But, what?I looked down at the whistle. It was so smooth to the touch, with its fur trying to e
LEONIEI swallowed the lump in my throat as I looked at the wolf. To my horror, it went away. I had no idea what was happening. This place was definitely not safe for me, and the queen was nowhere to be found.Did I just have so much faith that she will hear the whistle from where she was? Ok, this place was weird, but that was definitely not possible. I looked back at the whistle. Maybe, I should blow it again?It was possible I didn’t blow on it right because of my lack of strength. I placed the whistle in my mouth, and was about to blow on it, when the guards slowly stepped in.I swallowed hard, as I walked back to the interior of the cell, sinking back to the floor. At least, the white wolf would not attack me since I was not alone. For some reason, I looked down on the whistle in my hands and noticed that it was the same blue eyes that the wolf had.Just then, there was howl, that made every single part of my body to be stiff. The guards also looked panicked and they ran out of t
LINA ROYALEI smiled as I looked at Leonie. She looked so shocked that I was naked. I winked at her slightly.“You’ve never seen a naked woman?” I asked softly.She shook her head, and then, I realised, she was about to faint. I rushed over to her, and held her hard. She was hyperventilating, and sweating despite the cold weather. She opened her lips, and knew she was about to scream, but I stabilised her.“Breathe,” I said softly.I had been wrong. My nakedness had not made her worried, but the fact that I had shifted from wolf to human within the space of a minute was something that she hadn’t been able to come to terms with.It took a couple of minutes for her breathing to come back to normalcy, and I saw her eyes flick in recognition. She was calmer now. She tried to pull away from me, and I let her.“You… the wolf… You were the wolf?” She asked in shock.I nodded slowly. “Yes, I was. I believe that you saw the wolves transforming into humans on your first day here. Everyone here
