Alcinder
Luke, the son of my Father's Beta has been able to transform into a wolf since we were twelve. I am fifteen and unable to do the same. I do not understand why this has to happen to me. I was beginning to have some sort of hope since the day of Elektra's vision, but why is it taking so long. I am the next in line to be Alpha. Do not forsake me, the moon goddess. I have been trained my whole life for this only to be a failure. It isn't fair.
“Alcinder! Your father requests your presence at the council room”. Someone announced behind the door whilst knocking.
“immediately!”.
A summons to the council room is either a good or bad thing. My inability to transform has been of great worry to my parents and the entire council as a whole. I am certain that some of them are grateful for my failures as they have been eyeing the title.
I grab my black shirt and throw it over my grey sweatshirt, arranging my hair in the mirror. What's the use of being 5'11 at fifteen, having ocean blue eyes, and feeling worthless? I don't think I'm the only one that feels like trash but has the looks of Adonis.
As I head to the council room, the entire packhouse is eerily quiet. Not a soul is found anywhere, apart from the guards at their spot.
I was expecting the council room to be filled to the brim, but it's not. Just the seven council members dressed in all black sitting in the imperial hall in their usual circle.
I begin to count the statues of Lycans and the moon goddess in the council room. I feel so insignificant. I shake off that feeling of insignificance. I am the proud son of Fenrir and a direct descendant of Alparo the great, nothing can break me.
“Alcinder, Son of Alpha stone Fenrir. Please step into the circle. The pack's healer will access you”. The first council leader, Davien spoke in a commanding manner.
I got up and approached the circle with the confidence of a king, and stood in the circle looking at Elder Davien straight in the eye.
The scrawny-looking healer with one blind eye approached me and held my right hand. He begins haphazardly chanting inaudible words and phrases. The healer wobbled his head back and forth, then he finally released me and faced the council.
The healer began speaking in a deep, creepily calm voice, too deep for that body.
“Here is the verdict for the council. Alcinder, son of Alparo, has the pure blood of Alparo flowing in his veins. He is a werewolf by blood but not of spirit. He has no lycanthrope in him. In simple terms, his wolf is missing”.
With the final words, the council began to debate with themselves. My mother looked frantic and worried, she was discreetly signaling me to keep calm in sign language. She used to be a deaf instructor.
“so, what are we to do with the boy? He can't find a mate without a wolf to talk more or lead a pack.” the second elder questioned. The council was thrown into an uproar of chaos, doubts, and questions.
I stood there, head hung low as people who knew nothing about debate and argued about my life like I wasn't there.
I tried to speak but no one was paying attention. So, I yelled.
“Can you all just SHUT UP?”. The council went into a pin drop silence, looking at themselves in utter confusion.
“You have no right to speak about me like I am a piece of trash about to be discarded. Whispering among yourselves like children instead of brainstorming about the issue like MATURED MEN”.
My voice echoed in every corner of the hall, I did not know I could be this loud.
“My name is Alcinder, Son of Fenrir, a true descendant of the pure blood of Alparos. I swear before the moon goddess, the lycanthropes, and every living thing thereof, by the Gods, I WILL FIND MY WOLF and rule Alparo. For Alparo.”
As I ended my oath, I walked out on the council members and out of the hall with their mouths agape in utter disbelief.
Velda kept thinking aloud in her room.
“Can you believe that little pest? After everything I have done to get that throne”.
My daring vixen, you worry too much, relax, baby!”. Her husband cooed to her.
She wasn't in the mood to be cooed or appreciated. She was livid and irritated.
She felt that she had been living in her brother's shadow all her life, just because she was female. Never was her opinion or voice ever considered, not even once. She lived in pain and agony despite her hard work and efforts to prove herself worthy of being Alpha. She felt that the reason they didn't allow her to fight for the title although there were twins was that they deemed her unworthy.
Now his puny little son, Alcinder or whatever jargon he bears wants a title she craved for.
Velda sensed she'd been put on the sideline for years, belittled for more than decades, even an Angel would be triggered by such acts.
Velda swore that either she will rule over Alparo as the Prime Alpha or nobody else will. That or she dies fighting or trying.
Her mate kept pacing around the room without his feet touching the ground, he was thinking. Her Vampire King.
He came over to Velda and massaged her shoulders.
“Argh!!!! Salvatore! You know the spot”. She half moaned.
“You worry too much, Vixen. I should be the only one that troubles you this much”. He retorted, placing featherlike kisses on her neck.
“Are you jealous?”.
“Yes, I am deeply green-eyed that I am not the reason for your troubles. My alluring fox”. He spun her on the seat face to face. Salvatore grabbed her face and loosened her red hair from its tight bun. Her long fluffy hair cascaded down to her thighs.
“I'll need your palatable hair splayed everywhere for what we are about to do next”. He whispered into Velda's hair.
AvyannaFour years agoI was gonna be late for school again even with the fact that I hadn't slept at all. My life was going so great. How many thirteen-year-olds have insomnia and have to take pills to sleep?. How many? Maybe numerous, but none that I know of. My wolf, vesta growled, she needed rest. I had been overworking her since we had synced.I hurried downstairs because Elektra must have been waiting for me. I scurried past my brother who was getting out, we hardly talked to each other. I threw early morning greetings at my uncle Stefan(the stand-in Alpha). I disliked him, and so did my wolf. I didn't care about being Alpha or Omega. I just wanted to live like a normal depressed teenage wolf.School passed in a blur, but it did a good job depressing me the more. My school and classmates wouldn't let me be like it was a crime to be chubby or dark-skinned. I was weird, so what?. They are all the same and honestly, that's what's more spooky.I find it disgusting that the human ra
Four years ago Alcinder I had been running for an hour after the confrontation with Velda. I headed home as the night was approaching. I freshened up and headed for the dining table and found the pack healer sitting there. I am sure that it is my missing wolf. I sat by the right side of my dad in between my mom and dad acting as if nothing happened. “Good evening Dad, good evening Mom”. I kissed my mom on her cheek. My aunt and her mate were already seated with her children. I barely spoke with my spooky cousins even though we were in the same age range. Everyone was quiet, behaving like they didn't notice that the prophet wasn't there. My mom gave my hand a gentle squeeze. “The healer has something to tell you, Alcinder”. My Dad said coldly. Why couldn't they ever tell me things in private? My issues are always tabled before these fake households. “We have tried our best to locate your wolf but it is to no avail, we believe the problem is from within you”. The healer announced
The Four years ago continues...AvyannaI couldn't sleep because of excitement and confusion. I wasn't tired and depressed like I always did every morning, there was a new surge of energy in me. I felt refreshed.The weather was beautifully cold and I wasn't prepared to bathe in that ice water. My mother would never let me use the water heater or the electric stove, I don't know what I did to that witch.I got into the bathroom and took off my clothes. Just then, I heard a banging on the door.“someone is inside already”. I half yelled.“Get your ugly black ass out of there!”. Angus bellowed.I could sense hitting the door, kicking it.Vesta was angry and I was getting annoyed by his childish demeanor.“I just got in here minutes ago, I will soon be done if you let me bathe in peace, Angus!”. I was yelling back.He could be such an asshole sometimes, I wonder how we are related, talk more of being twins.I could hear him blabbing at my mum, but that didn't bother me. I was trying to p
There is something about hating someone. The one doing the hating often gets more hurt than the person hated. Hatred gives you emotional pain, it punishes your heart and makes you bitter, clouding your sense of judgement. Velda was bitter, always vicious, and bloodthirsty from a tender age. She was the twin of Alcinder's Father. She felt betrayed and unloved by her parents. She felt invincible. Velda became rebellious believing that she wasn't allowed to be Alpha because she was female. However, on their 21st birthday, an opportunity was given for her battle for the title of Alpha of which she failed woefully. It was a free and fair fight on a cold night on top of the mountains of Alparo before the full moon. Velda was unsatisfied and felt that the moon goddess wasn't on her side, that she was being ganged up on and opposed because of her gender.Velda almost went rogue, she was powerful and had learned spell casting.She got mated to an ancient Vampire named Salvatore, fell in love
Present DayAvyannaMy Alarm wouldn't just go off. It kept ringing and ringing and ringing. “Urgh!!!!!!!! Let me sleep, you despicable monster of a clock”. I am very sure that my Alarm was sent to me from Hell. I am also sure she just rolled her eyes at me and called me a lazy ass.“Don't talk to me, Mister handsome Clock.”.I looked around my room and it was a mess. My clothes littered the whole room, on the bookshelves, on my study table, and on the bed, I slept on.I mentally cursed at myself. I was hungry and tired. The fight with my mother yesterday didn't help me at all. Why could she just love me with all my oddities?I know that sometimes I am unbearable and.. hard to deal with, but she doesn't make it easy for me to love her too.Why did you die, Father?First things first, This room needed one hell of a makeover. I can't believe the fact that I had not cleaned my room for two weeks, Elektra would kill me and what would Alcinder think of me.He loves me too much. As a Fri
AvyannaThe person behind the door kept banging on it repeatedly and left after he got tired. Why couldn't they do it here? Must it be to the hearing of everyone else?. I can't help but hate my mother. She was to protect me from all this chaos and pain but she's the one dragging me into. She adds salt to my injuries.Alcinder and Elektra sat side by side with me. I am tired of their constant display of apathy towards me. Right now, I don't care about their opinion of me. I have a gift I am proud no matter the consequences. I believe I was given this gift for a reason.“Let's go here what the healer has to say?”.“Are you sure?”. Alcinder asked. He creased his brow in worry.I got up and arranged my grey sweatpants and threw on black polo then smoother my massive curly silver hair with my hands. My palms were sweaty and I was beginning to feel nauseous.Hand in hand we went down the stairs to the living room.The whole place was decorated with a spiderman theme. Urgh! Like he was s
After Elektra had left, I arranged my room and dressed up. Today we were finalizing our arrangements for prom. I am finally leaving High school for good. The feeling was immeasurable. I am uncertain about how things are gonna turn out for me, but I'm stronger now.I am no longer that frail, and timid girl that needed pills to think and sleep.I packed my hair in a sleek ponytail, letting it cascade down my back in massive curls. I was finally letting my silver hair grow, no longer tinting it black.I wore my red leather pants with a black leather jacket and a white under-b-bodice. Making a good statement was what I was out for.My lips glowed and I smelt like lavender.Another Monday, My Last Monday in high school. Woohoo!As I stepped out to meet Alcinder and Elektra who had been waiting for me outside as they did for the past few years, their expressions were priceless.Alcinder choked on his coffee, while Elektra lifted her brows and mouthed a damn!The confidence I felt was portr
Angus checked his messages. He had seen Velda's message. She had been offering him proposals on how to secure the Alpha position. He wanted the Alpha position, but he didn't know if he wanted it at all cost. Before his father died, he felt that he had always favored Avyanna. If he hadn't approved of Avyanna, he wouldn't be in this position. Why couldn't he just vote unanimously for him to be the next Alpha?Why make him fight with a female?A female!The thought alone made Angus cringe. So, when he got a text from Velda he didn't think twice about putting on his leather Jacket and heading out to where what she had to offer him.He hopped out of the house avoiding his mother. He felt she doted on him too much these days.He was beginning to get worn out with the whole charade. After all, how could she hate her daughter in the way that she did yet she claimed she loved him?He trotted through the dark forest and after about twenty minutes he reached their arranged spot. After scanning
