Alpha Herveaux’s P.O.V
“Something just doesn’t seem right about this girl. Right from that night, up to this moment, we are meeting again.”
“What do you think, Tristan? Can you smell her?” I pressed myself against her small body to the wall.
“Stop!” She managed to say. Carefully, pushing me off from her.
“I want to flirt with you a little. Before we get down to business” I said to her, I knew I sounded cold and a little unruly.
My words put her out of place, making her snap back into reality. She adjusted her clothes. They fitted her perfectly even though it was a bit messy.
”Tala, wants you to be her nanny!” “I have been contemplating, should I take you by force or please you?” I said to her, drawing her closely into my arms. I noticed she had been avoiding eye-to-eye contact with me.
“My time is wasting, young woman. Do you want me to please you? Or take you by force?”
It looked like she was talking to someone before she could answer me. “I will think about it” she replied.
“Don’t annoy me. I don’t have such tolerance. Tala has go to school tomorrow morning. Someone must be here and that’s you!”
“I will spend the night here, I have to inform my uncle about everything” she replied, stuttering.
I had a very long day. Neither Herving nor Fernando was back from the assignments, I gave them. I needed to rest a while, before they arrived.
“Your Alpha will leave now! Stay away from everything” I said, forcing my lips on hers as a goodbye.
“Excuse me Sir!” She said, finding her balance as she raced after me on the stairs.
“This will be the last time you will address me wrongly!” I replied to her harshly.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know what you were address3d as. Sir is a formal term and I thought it was courteous”. She replied, shy but bold.
“Learn Fast!” “What do you want?” I asked her in haste, leaving no room for any sense of pleasure.
Auriel was dumbfounded. She only stared at me and said nothing.
“Can I go home at least for today?” She said after I turned around to leave. “Did my face scare her?”
“NO! You get to leave when I tell you to”
I left the terrace. Sleeping is an impossible fantasy for me. The last time I slept was when Ashina was alive. I settled down to my studies. Examining Ashina’s murder case evidence.
I hated humans but Ashina’s death increased my hate for those people. “Why did she love them?” I just couldn’t understand.
Tristan started growling again, he had to get used to this routine of mourning Ashina every night. I swore not to rest until I uncovered the truth.
“I am a worthy Alpha!” I screamed, joining Tristan's loud growl.
I heard my door knob twitch and it opened. “Hello” “Is anyone here?” The person turned on the lights. Tristan was angered. He roared louder in a rage. My eyes were red and I could feel my anger takeover my body.
“How dare you?” I asked who it was. “It's me! Auriel” She answered, jittering with fear in her voice.
She was gasping for air. At first I thought she was just reacting to what she saw but it became serious, she fainted.
I carried her into my bed and covered her up. Her heart was beating. “Please don’t leave”, She said, holding my hands. She was still sleeping. “Stay with me”, She added, rustling her hands over mine.
Tristan wanted us to leave, but a part of me wanted to stay. She laid her head on my chest, sleeping peacefully.
“Beloved Alpha!” I knew the voice was Fernando’s.
I went out of the room to see him. Whatever he came to see me for, has to be confidential. My room was nowhere that would take place. Not when I have that woman in there.
“Speak !” I ordered him. “We discovered something new, Alpha!” Fernando said, rising to his feet.
“There is a rumor of an invader from the human world conniving with the lone wolves. I found their hiding place”
“At your command, we will attack them, Alpha!” Fernando said. “War! War! War!” I replied, pacing all over the place. Tristan was hungry, and so was I. “I will go with you!” I replied, Fernando knowing well he would be against it.
“NO! You cannot be seen fighting the lone wolves, Alpha Herveaux”, “Don’t go against me Fernando. I would go in disguise.” I had the perfect plan for-hand.
Changing my appearance was very easy. The moonlight was out. “You can still change your mind, Alpha!” Fernando tried convincing me. I wasn’t backing down. Not this time. I must see things myself.
“It might be hard, but I want you to see me as a friend tonight and not your Alpha”, I said to Fernando.
We arrived at Deserted Forest. It was far away from our home. “Why would anyone want to stay here in isolation?” I asked Fernando. “They are Lone wolves Alpha!” He answered, reminding me that they must be seen within any pack's territory.
We kept moving deeper into the forest. “I smell something so strong!” I said to my warriors alongside Fernando.
“This smell is distinctive. It’s too strong, how come only I could perceive it?” I asked them. “Could it be a trap?” Fernando asked groggily.
“I found them!”
The battle started. I was uninterested. That scent was on my mind. I followed its trail. “Herveaux!” a voice called out to me in the dark. “The dark is my domain! Show forth if you dare!” I thundered, tossing the trees around asunder.
“Promise to spare my life if I show up?” “I am the Alpha. I decide if you will be spared!”
The man appeared but the scent had disappeared. “I know who murdered Ashina” The boy said, shriveling with no peace.
“We are done, Beloved Alpha!” Fernando shouted. He wanted me to know he was leaving the forest. This was more important. “It's about Ashina.”
“Speak!” I ordered him. The man fell to the floor shaking violently like he was poisoned. I have seen this before. “Were my eyes playing a trick on me?”
“Stop!” I shouted, causing lightning and thunderstorms to strike. “You are blowing your cover, Alpha Herveaux”, Fernando warned sternly.
********************************************************************
“Can I touch it?” She asked me. “If you dare!” I replied. I had shift shape and was in Tristan’s shape. “He’s so big and fluffy”, She said, rubbing her hands on my Wolf’s fur.
Tristan gave out a silent gentle growl. He wanted it to continue. She wasn’t leaving anytime soon. She sat down right beside me caressing the fur.
“Why aren’t you sleeping? Did the Alpha Kick you out?” She asked. I had forgotten she didn’t know it was me.
“Yes he did!” I answered her. “I know he is very cold and wicked. I met with him today.” She responded smiling, still running her fingers through my furs. “No, Alpha Herveaux is a good person just easily misunderstood.”
“What! is that blood on your hands!” She shouted. “Yes. Alpha Herveaux made me do that” I replied. “He makes you kill people?” She asked keenly.
“More than that!” I could tell she was scared. “What is your own name? Are you allowed to move only at night? She asked me. Her questions sounded strange. She was obviously above eighteen.
“Don’t you have a wolf?” I asked her. “Not yet. I’m Hybrid” She replied confidently. “Doesn’t matter, you might not be strong but you should have your wolf” I said to her.
Talking to her bored me but I was feeling sleepy. It was a win for me. “Tell me more about yourself”. I threw a bait.
She caught it. It felt like a sleeping pill as she talked. Trist and I slept.
Seconds, minutes and hours past by as she talked but her last question pricked me.
“The prophecy will be out soon. Do you think Alpha Herveaux will be given a new Luna, chosen by the goddess?” She asked me.
Samantha’s POVI woke up very early. This place looks so good, but strange. Sleeping with my two eyes closed was scary. The nonstop growlings at night and weird cries emanating from the room upstairs, everything was just crazy. Not to think I was calling Cervantes the crazy one. What Cervantes did last night was crazy though. He interrupted every discussion I had with Herveaux last night.”How do I live up to the lies you have made me tell the Alpha?” I asked Cervnates. “Why are you silent? This is just the beginning as I see it!” I added anxiously. It was unlike Cervantes to not reply to my questions on time.“I can not feel his presence too”. I was a bit worried and perplexed.“Our Beloved Alpha request your presence “ Someone said outside my door. “Why can't they knock and come in?”.“Our Beloved Alpha request your presence!” The voice repeated louder. “I have heard. I need to change my dress and put some make-up on at least”, I had to reply. “You have to come out now. You do not
Daciana’s POV.I went in to see Herveaux after a long time. “I believe I have respected Ashina enough!” He wasn’t in a good mood. Even if the world sees that emotionless face. I Dacaiana, knows Herveaux the best. “Don’t you miss me?” I said to him as he sat on his golden chair. He wasn’t expecting to see me. I fell into his arms, deliberately kissing him out of the blue. He wanted it also. “Dacaiana, you shouldn’t be here” he said to me, still not pushing me away. I wasn’t offended, he just accepted my kiss. “How long, Herveaux?” I said to him angrily. “Watch your tone lady. I’m still the Alpha here” he responded. “And I am your Luna to be!” I replied him. “You should respect me Dacaiana” He moved closer to me, making me kiss him intensely. “The Herveaux I know never loved a weak woman. Disrespect from a strong woman turns him on!” I said seductively. It was going all as planned until someone interrupted. I felt like ripping the life off the person. “Who Is there?” Alpha herve
Samantha’s POVAlpha Herveaux's wife just died recently and he is already with another woman. He is a womanizer. That’s why he kissed me on our first meeting. I feel so stupid for pitying him. That woman just tried to kill me. At least he saved my life. But who could she be? I tried making Tala leave the pool but she begged for a few minutes more until we ended up staying for an hour or even more. I was deep in thoughts though. I heard footsteps approaching. “Its father and mother’s friend”, Tala said, still playing in the water.He questioned me for keeping his daughter out there. I was mad at him. But Tala made him leave us alone somehow. Something strange happened between me and Dacaian as she tried removing my necklace, a strange force blew her away from me. I just couldn’t explain it. A man came saying my uncle was here for me. “Cervantes puts me in trouble but he’s here to save me on time.”I do have a problem with this woman insisting on following me to see my uncle. I too
Alpha Herveaux’s POV.“Do you want to change your mind, Alpha Herveux?” Fernando asked me. I wasn’t changing a thing. I was sure of that scent. It wasn’t that man. That man was just a mere distraction to stop me from following that strong scent I heard. “We will go ahead with our plans” I said to Fernando. I wanted to meet with a strong sorcerer. He was once an elder in the Sun Valley pack. He left angrily after an undisclosed dispute between he and his people. “Do you know how we can find him?” I asked Fernando. “Yes, Alpha, I just feel you should let Luna Rudina know about it”. He responded. I am free to do things on my own and she might misinterprete me also. “Why don’t we wait for the prophecy Alpha Herveuax?” Fernando asked. I knew he cared about my status, but now, my reputation is at stake. “I have to prove everyone wrong that my father was wrong about making me the Alpha”, I said to Fernando angrily. “We are here, Alpha” Fernando said, he stopped the car at a dead point w
Samantha’s POV.I had a very long day. Daciana was no help either. She stalked me like a hawk with the help of Sheila. “Leave Everyone!The Alpha has returned!” I saw everyone hiding or going into a room and closing the door. I wanted to watch and see what was happening. “He’s so handsome”, Sheila said. I didn’t notice she had followed me to where I hid so I could see Alpha Herveux. “Hi, I’m Sheila” She stretched her hands to me for an obvious handshake. “I know who you are, stop stalking me!” I accepted her handshake warmly with a disgusting facial appearance, that should let her know I didn’t want her around me. She rolled her eyes at me and closed the door. I forgot I was hiding. I stepped out through the other side just to bump into Alpha Herveuax. I was so scared. “I am sorry. It wasn’t intentional” Fernando saw me. “I know you from somewhere”, he said to me. My heart was racing, “Please don’t tell him, I am a slave”, I begged him in my head. “Yes, she's the same woman from th
THE SHADOW FORGE CLAN.Alpha Draglun’s POV.“You are no match for Alpha Herveaux” Lowell, the youngest Alpha and the leader of the, winter moon pack, said to me. I had invited him to help me fight Herveaux. Or overthrow him as the supreme leader of the whole Pack. “Is it because of your woman?” Lowell asked, chuckling as he spoke. “Get Over Daciana. Alpha Herveux has her rounded in between his palms. She rubs it on your face whenever she gets the chance”. Lowell was right. Dacaiana rejected me as her mate. She was destined to be mine, I just know it. Unlike every other person, I was free to choose my mate. All my friends envied me for that, but destiny had other plans. The only woman I and my wolf ever loved wasn’t in love with me. “Why does it have to be Alpha Herveaux? WHY!” I shouted, throwing the cup of wine on the wall. “Get over your obsession with that woman. You can invite when you want to take on Alpha Herveaux like a real Lycan and not because of a mere woman!” “I am n
THE SUN VALLEY PACK.Luna Rudina’s POV.I felt really good today. The atmosphere was conducive too. I am looking forward to the Moon goddess visitation. A new prophecy might just turn everything around for good.I walked in the garden, observing the growth of the flowers. Ashina grew them for me, adding to it, every year on my birthday. “I miss you Ashina.” I said, sniffing deep into the flowers. “Your daughter is here, Luna!” I felt butterflies in my tommy. I wasn’t expecting anyone today, not even her. She hasn’t been home in years. “To what do I owe this visit? You haven’t stepped your feet in here since you fought against our clan.” “I still see you as my aunt. I just felt bad you chose to side with Ashina, over me!” Dacaiana was very promising before she clocked eighteen few years ago. I still remember that night till today. The night, Alpha Herveaux’s Luna was chosen. It brought us joy and great sadness. “Do you know Auriel?” She asked me. “Is that why you are here?. I thou
Samantha’s POVWhen the so-called prime left, after asking me a question I couldn’t answer or dared not answer, I was so relieved. “Who’s side are you on?”What does she expect me to say? Hers or Alpha Herveaux? “ None of you!”. I am here for something else and I will face that squarely. This house was haunted. I have never heard a full time rest or sleep since I came in here. “Get ready, Our Beloved Alpha needs your presence at this moment!” My heart skipped, I could feel it come to my mouth. “What!” “You heard me, come this moment! The Alpha doesn't Wait!” Such arrogance, just like his subjects. I wondered why he wanted me. I just left his place by a narrow escape and now this?I walked briskly and very fast to the front of the door, just for me to open the door and then my hands weren’t cooperating with me, I suddenly felt that fear again. “Come In!” He thundered from inside. “How did he see me through the door? I hate whatever he is!” I clutched the door open. “Wear this fast
