It was in the middle of the night that I and the hunter, Karim, left the palace in search of the Moon Beast. I was praying that the best would show himself that night, so that either I ended it or it ended me. I just want the issues in my life to end once and for all.Under the cloak of night, the Hunter and I ventured forth into the wilderness, our footsteps quietened by the soft earth beneath our feet. With every step, the anticipation grew within me like a tightly wound spring, my senses heightened as we pursued our elusive quarry.I knew that everyone, especially Zaza, thought that I could kill the beast because of my gift, but my gifts were given to me by the gods to protect men and not the beast. So I asked Karim if he had killed a beast before.“No, my Alpha, I have not killed a beast like this one before, but every beast of the earth has a specific tracking movement,” Karim said.“So, in other words, you are here to track it for me. And I am here to kill it,” I said, looking h
Meanwhile in the palace, unknown to them that the beast was headed their way, General Antil met General Masa and they both tried to convince Zaza to make one of them king.General Antil and General Masa sought to sway Zaza to their respective sides, each vying for her allegiance in their bid for power. With persuasive words and subtle manipulations, they painted a picture of a kingdom in turmoil, a realm on the brink of collapse due to my supposed machinations."We cannot allow her to continue unchecked," General Antil declared, his voice laced with conviction as he fixed Zaza with a firm gaze. "She has twisted the leadership to suit her own agenda, and it is our duty to put an end to her tyranny."General Masa nodded in agreement, his expression grim as he echoed Antil's sentiments. "She has deceived us all," he proclaimed, his voice ringing with authority. "We cannot allow her to usurp the throne and lead our kingdom to ruin. We must act swiftly to restore order and stability."To
As the beast lunged forward, its massive form coming towards me with unstoppable force, I braced myself for the impact. With lightning-fast reflexes, I dodged its initial strike, the air crackling with the sound of its claws slicing through the air mere inches from my skin.It threw its fangs as a spear towards me. This was no ordinary beast, as I have never seen any beast do that. It looked as if it came for Zaza more than anyone. Its attack was towards her, and I was the only thing standing in between its target and itself.I dodged the first two in a lightning move as the third caught my arm. In a vanishing move, I stabbed it twice in the back before it threw me down and started moving towards Zaza. I got up again and vanished and reappeared in between both of them.Everyone was surprised that I had lasted this long in the battle. The Beast rushed towards me again. With each swing of its claws and snap of its jaws, I danced away, using my agility to evade its relentless attacks. Dr
As the dust settled and the echoes of battle faded into the night, I turned my attention to General Antil's remaining soldiers, their faces etched with fear and uncertainty.Most of them had thought that I was going to kill them or hang them for the sin of their boss. “We are all werewolves! Outcast, mixbreed, omega, or whatever you think you are. This is Border Town and it accepts all and everyone.”With the weight of my recent victory still heavy on my shoulders, I knew that the fate of our pack hung in the balance, and that the decisions made in this moment would shape the course of our future.Standing before them, I met their gaze with a firm resolve, my voice ringing out clear and commanding in the stillness of the aftermath. "You have seen what I am capable of," I declared, my words carrying the weight of authority earned through blood and sacrifice. "Now, I ask you: are you with me, or against me?"For a moment, silence hung heavy in the air, broken only by the sound of labor
Zaza stood with me in my chambers. The Captain has reported that the Bandits in the Hinder lands are growing in numbers, and we will be next if we don't confront and stop them now.“I cannot fight two battles, Zaza, what you are requesting is a suicide mission from my men,” I said.“Then fright one,” Zaza replied‘Which one?” I asked.“I don’t know, whatever I choose, it is still your choice,” Zaza said.I was wondering at myself for allowing a fourteen-year-old to choose my battles when I had captains in my ranks. I was not certain of what to do, and Elder Ce
As I walked through the town of Nashville with Zaza and my guards, I could smell the fresh air and the natural nature of the town. I was very happy to be home. From my hotel to the conference hall was a walking distance and I loved it. I was glad to be in my town once more. A lot has not changed, both the people and the town. The people did not know me anymore and that pleased me.I could smell and feel a lot of them throwing gazes at me. Most of them had not seen a lady, dressed so richly and guarded by hefty-looking handsome men. Yes, I chose my guards very carefully as I wanted them to look intimidating and handsome.The conference door opened, and I was ushered in alone. I sat close to the exit door as I did not want to disturb the meeting. It was a meeting of the Alphas in the district. Alpha Jo had called for a meeting aimed at defeating our common enemy, the bandits.After his opening speech, I watched as he set his gaze on me. I was not sure that he recognized me. But as he wa
The other Alphas were waiting for us. They could not hear us, but they could see that I was not afraid of their intimidation. I was not ready to reveal that I was Alpha Ayar. They must respect me as an Omega.My ex-husband, who rejected me at my wedding, was still looking at me in shock. He could not believe that I had challenged him. The only female that had ever done so was Maria, his sister.“Could you please follow me? I want to introduce you to the other Alphas,” Alpha Jo said.I stood up, raised my gown a little, and followed Alpha Jo. It looked like the longest walk I ever took. The distance was short, but my steps were heavy. All eighteen eyes were on me. I tried to keep my composure. I managed to stand in front of them and by the side of Alpha Jo.Alpha Jo took a glance at me before introducing me. “Fellow Alphas,” he said, as he took another look at me, then continued. “We have in our midst an emissary from Alpha Ayar. He decided to send us this lady. I am sorry I did not ge
HOW IT ALL STARTED FIVE YEARS AGO Five years ago, the scent of oppression lingered in the air, and the howls of omega werewolves echoed with a haunting sadness. Among them, I, Ava, navigated a world defined by the harsh hierarchies that categorized us. I was determined that we would be free from the oppression of other werewolves. My parents never saw that and wanted all omega werewolves to be submissive. As an Omega werewolf living on the outskirts of Nashville Town, I had grown accustomed to the whispers of disdain and the condescending glares from those who deemed themselves superior. The Downtown, where my kind resided, was a realm of perpetual shadows, shrouded in the lingering echoes of prejudice. “Who is that?” I asked, moving towards the door. “ You know who he is, Ava, please give him what we owe,” my father said. My father is the leader of our clan and I consider him too weak to lead anything. At the age of nineteen, one would have thought I was too young, but what we a
