Alpha Ares POVI was desperately waiting for Beta to show up and give me today’s report. I stood by a large window in my office, looking outside at the vast greenery that lay in front of me. The trees were silent, which was a good thing but something in me was unsettling after what I had seen in the light. I needed answers to that. Damnit! Where was this Gennady?After a while I got bored by looking, it seemed the outside world held nothing of interest for now. So I returned my gaze to the dungeon door where secrets waited for me.I didn’t want to use my Alpha aura to summon Gennady, he could be in the middle of something. So with all options exhausted, I sat back down on my high chair, carved out of bones painted black, with etchings and markings of the ancient.I started working on the day-to-day tasks of managing the pack. I studied different official documents signed a few, assigning a pack family to different houses. But my heart was not in it.Then as I was shuffling documents a
Alpha Ares (POV) There was a soft knock on the door. “Enter,” I said. Gennady appeared from behind the door, he was covered with dirt, and I could barely make out his eyes. He walked with a limp. That was alarming. “What the hell happened to you?” I asked. “I’ll tell you everything, but first can I get a glass of vodka first please,” He said with a painful expression on his face as he sat down on the chair next to the main table. The chair gave a little squeak as he put his whole weight on it. “Ah”, he whimpered in pain. I didn’t ask any more questions and went straight to the cabinet in the corner of the room, and opened it, in there were all the exotic wines one could dream of but I what I was looking for was nowhere to be seen. At last, I located it behind a champagne bottle, quickly pulled it out, took out shot glasses, and poured one for Beta. He quickly took it from my hand and gulped it all in one go then proceeded to take the bottle from my hand and started drinking str
I stayed silent and sat on my high chair. I closed my eyes and looked through all the wolves through my Alpha aura, two lights were missing, it was Donovan and Jose. They had joined just last week and were in training, Gennady was supposed to show them the day-to-day patrol activities. They were not supposed to die. I had failed to protect them. I was the Alpha, how had I not foreseen it?Well, I did foresee the bloody streets, didn’t I? So it’s my fault.I opened my eyes with a jerk. A fire was running through my whole body and it only ended with one thing: blood. An eye for an eye. I was not going to let go of that. If they had indeed returned then they should realize who they are up against.“Gennady, stay put, and tell me where it happened,” I asked.“The north border,” he said without looking up. He was observing the little scar on his biceps.“Don’t worry about that G, they didn’t get you, you’ll be alright,” I told him.“Would I be?” Gennady finally looked up and said.“Go to y
“Fuck man, he was really strong,” one of the skinny ones said.“Yeah, I thought that I was almost a goner,” the other replied continuing on with changing his clothes and cleaning the blood.“Too bad Cera didn’t make it, we’ll get his body out at night, he’ll be just fine,” another said.“As long as they don’t burn him though,” the skinny one said.“Yeah that could happen, but we got them good man,” the bulky one said.“Hahaha, it feels so good to be back”“Well, I’ll love to take my house back, I heard fucking wolves living in there, it will be ours again, they won’t know what hit them, hahaha,”“Better change up quick we don’t want them to find out our hiding spot”“Relax we are safe from everything here, we got protection here, we are not in their territory”“But still it isn’t our territory either”“Damn you everything is our territory here”“Hurry up, we still need to get Cera’s body at night”I had heard enough, and what I deduced from it was for another time to think about, for
Ares came across a little hill and stumbled to a stop before the body of a dying Werewolf. The enormous beast lay on its side, intestines coming out from its chest broken and slit through. The Werewolf was vaguely skeletal in shape as if malnourished, with naturally long limbs that sprouted from his shoulders. The eyes were just empty sockets on his face.His face was as if it was made from bones, the skin barely existed on it. He had long gone on.Even after all these times, seeing a Werewolf dead up close made Ares feel the utmost disgust. The Werewolf was one of the biggest he had ever seen in his life, and he had seen many of them. He had seen dead werewolves before, and truth be told it hadn’t been pleasant.Of course, dying rarely was.He passed the creature, stepping more carefully on the battlefield. The woods were filled with trees and little various magical vegetation, natural pillars rising around him, and bodies littering the ground. Not a lot to be seen here except these
“What?” Ares said. How could they be betrayed, this was unheard of, wolves had stuck together whenever the vampires came.“Yes. You heard me right old friend we were breached from within, a clean passage was given to the enemies.”Ares shook his head in disbelief. He still could not wrap his head around this thing. With so many wolves departing what hope had remained for anyone else? Anyone else surviving, he would say none whatsoever. But in all fairness, this was a bad way to go for many. He had calculated their exact movements, didn’t he? But still, all this happened. “At least you're alright mate,” Ares said taking heavy breaths as though he had run a marathon, stepping up and gripping the other man’s arm. “It would be alright G.”Ares felt Gennady shaking, his whole body didn’t accept that it would be alright. And how could he, the poor guy?Years and years of rivalry, blood bath. It was so hard to keep track. Those fires, thoseVampire feet moving with the speed of light, twist
Eve (POV)I dressed up quickly today as I wanted to just rush into school and finish early, but no matter how early I got up the school will end at its usual time. But I didn’t care about that all that I cared about today was to finally hear the famous Alpha lore that Sandra had been talking about, my crazy head is filled with ideas about Alpha now and I wanted to know the truth.I reached school and then it began, the endless cycle of class after class and I was getting impatient with it all. Can’t these professors announce an early break? But this is not how things worked here, unfortunately.I was sitting beside Sandra and I kept looking at her pointedly.“You’re not getting a word out of my mouth till we get to my home,” Sandra said, further tormenting Eve, as she tucked a stray hair strand behind her ear. She was smiling, she liked teasing me. I hate this waiting game.“You know, you don’t have to do this Eve,” M appeared from behind. When did he enter the class?“What are you ta
The damn lecture was like not going to finish anytime soon so I grew impatient with the professor and kept a close watch on the time I could swear that it was going slower than usual, each tick of the clock was draining something out of me. I should have been glad by each passing moment but still, it was not passing fast enough, so in situations like these instead of listening to the lecture my mind just wanders off and even though my eyes are still focused on the professor my heart and mind are elsewhere. As I was still painfully listening to the lecture, I peeked outside from a colossal window in our classroom and found Alpha Ares walking with his hands clasped behind his back and was in deep talk with Beta as they walked off into the school garden. My heart skipped a beat, I mean the person that I was obsessing about was right outside, something moved inside me. My body temperature suddenly got hot. I waved in order to cool down and that is what I think caught Alpha’s attention a
