Even though they had been covered beyond recognition, I didn't need anyone to tell me who they were. I needed to do something to save them from the alpha's wrath."Hey, Declan," someone called me from the crowd. It sounded familiar. Curiously, I turned around."Felix!," I said. He was an old mate, one I had not seen in a long time. Just like most of the people who had gathered for another familiar execution experience, he didn't look happy."Mate, you gotta help those people up there," he said, pointing to the two people hanging."It's tough, mate," I said."I know, but you are different from your father and that brother of yours who takes so much delight in executing innocent people. I don't know who they are, but they don't fucking deserve what is coming to them. Save them," he said before walking away."He's right, Declan," someone tapped me from behind. It was another old friend, Jackson. He, too, had appeared from nowhere. "Look at everyone around you," he said, pointing to the p

KIANNADeath is overrated!When you know it is your time, the fear of it disappears.There was no escaping it, I knew it. Frustrated that I had been unwavering in my resolve not to bow to his demands, Deforest had dragged me before the alpha that morning."I hope death appeals to you," he had said."How is it possible that she's alive?," he managed to ask him, surprised to see me. Even my co maid and friend, Riley, who had come to serve him at his chamber, was shocked to see me. I must have looked like a ghost to them. "Well, father, here she is," he responded. He clearly enjoyed being the one to have found me."How and where did you find her? Didn't everyone say she escaped through the woods? Were you lying to me!? How dare you!," he yelled at him. His anger scared whatever was left of my fucked up life. It was obvious he was looking for another scapegoat."I didn't lie to you, father! Maybe you should ask Declan!," Deforest quickly cut in, frustrated that his father had taken

TORROWe should have listened to him!We should never have looked upon him as the powerless Jason that couldn't hurt a bird!We should have believed him when he said his vision had returned! We dismissed him just because, unlike us, he possessed no power to see what we saw, or smell what we smelt.We will always look like our decisions!Well, I guess it is very easy to come to terms with it now that we are under siege.August 1st will always be remembered as the night the book closed on us, on every member of the pack. Everything we had built together, we lost, no one, not even a hair, was spared.We had been so busy upholding the code that no one had read the signs. How could the alpha not even notice! Maybe it was some spell. By the time it dawned on us that we were under siege, the enemy had gotten so close, surrounded us, leaving us with nothing but to feed on wishes that horses couldn't ride on."Are we going to die like chickens!?," Tom, one of the newest members, ha

LORD DWAYNE"This is a ruthless world, and one must be ruthless to cope with it."Charlie Chaplin.He was my best and most trusted lieutenant. He could go through brick walls for me, not minding if he put his life on the line in the process. No one else knew half the things he knew about me, not even Declan or Deforest. Maybe I let him know more than he should have known.If I could put it better, I would say my darkness laid bare before him.So you can understand why it was the toughest decision I have ever taken as an alpha. This was even tougher than passing the judgment on my wife and having her face the execution as I watched. But I had to do what I had to do. He had broken the code, and no one was bigger than it…Okay, maybe I was!I may not have been so sure about what he had done, but his displays had sold him out. It felt he was up to something, something different from the path we had always walked on."Killing him on the night of the dark moon does not represent the best d

DECLAN"Here is my judgment," he said.The moment I heard him say that, I knew I could not hold it anymore.Duncan had done a good job holding me from fighting back while we watched him nearly torture Alioski to death."Come on, mate, you gotta hold it together. You do not want to crash the plan," he had said to me."The plan?," I asked, looking at him."Sorry I didn't tell you, I have a plan on how we can take down the alpha. I have no fucking idea if it's gonna work, but it doesn't require much risk, at least." He went ahead to tell me what his plan was. "I hope it works," he said at the end."How the fuck did you know the alpha is not my father?," I whispered into his ear, careful not to be heard."Not every secret dies as one. Besides, I overheard the…"Just as he continued speaking, the alpha got ready to pass his judgment. I knew I had to crash the plan."No!," I shouted from where I was, not letting him say the words, which, when spoken, were irreversible."What the fuck did yo

DEFOREST"Father, is it true!," I asked, upset. I had barged into his chamber while he banged one of the maids. How could he even care so much about sex after he had set the pack on fire."It is like a pack of candies delivered in one package. That's how I cool off, especially when I'm angry," he had once told me the day I asked him why sex mattered so much to him. It had become a must do for him on a daily basis."Get out!," I yelled at the maid."She goes nowhere. Whatever you have to say to me, say it here and now. Be quick about it, for I can't afford to keep my stick waiting much longer," he said."Father, I need to speak to you alone, please. This is very important to me, and I wouldn't want a third person listening, please.""Fine!," he reluctantly said. "Leave us," he said to the maid. "Don't forget to be at my service tonight," he shouted behind her. Turning to me, he said, "It better be worth it.""Father, what happened back there?," I asked, trying to keep my voice down, ev

"Just stop!," I said again."Don't tell me to fucking stop!," he roared back."Can't you see!? I did all that just because I wanted to see you," I said, pointing to the swordsmen who had no idea what was happening."I see nothing!," he responded, defiant. "I do not care what you had to do! I don't fucking care!. You're not different from your father, the ruthless alpha. He can never be less than what he is; you will be worse! More ruthless!""Brother!""No, don't you ever call me that again. I am not your brother, and will never be! Now, if you have come for my head, make it quick, because if I ever get away, I will not hesitate to come for yours, I swear on my father's blood.""What keeps us is bigger than what will break us," I said, reminding him what he had told me in the past. "Does it not count for something?.""No! I said that to a monster who carries the blood of the man who murdered my parents and took what was mine. I promise, if I get out, you will all pay for what you've d

JASONPain is something you carry, just like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's in all you carry. That's what matters.Whoever said that certainly did have me in mind; he had envisaged my misery.Everything that could have gone wrong had put on a show before me. It had a been horrendous, I don't even know if that's the right word that best describes it, couple of days for me, more like the horror movies that had become bread and butter for me.I had made the tough decision to leave Atlanta following the murder of my entire family."Where are you leaving for?," Costa asked me, worried about my safety."I don't know," I responded. I really didn't know about my next destination, but I was determined to leave a city that had taken everything but me from me.And then, he said, "I may not say it the way I should, but I want you to know that you are a gift I am grateful for. We may have spent just a little time together, but it's like a hundred years already. You
