Karla stared at the heap of plates on the sink in front of her and she froze for a moment in shock. She really couldn’t believe that Xavier had actually been serious about her working as an Omega in the kitchen again and it was worse that it was coming just the day after Jimin had broke her heart and beat up her brother black and blue.“I rely can’t believe this,” Karla grunted, her eyes fixed on the heap of plates in front of her. “Xavier has always been sweet. When did he become like this?”“The day you decided to slap him,” Megan, her best friend laughed. “Get over it, Karla. You didn’t do what I told you to do so don’t complain about having to wash the plates with me.”“Excuse me for valuing my relationship with Jimin above a week of Omega duties,” Karla sighed. “Imagine how stupid I would have looked if Jimin caught me trying to seduce Xavier, after I’d told him how I felt about him. He would have seen me as a hoe!”Megan frowned. “Aren’t you?”“No I’m not,” Karla rolled her eyes
“Shhhh!” Megan quickly hushed Karla, putting her hands over her mouth. “What is wrong with you! Do you want someone to hear you?”“Oh, I never knew you were concerned about people hearing your little secret,” Karla stared at her friend. “If you were so concerned, you wouldn’t be shouting around and harassing guys that you hardly know about your family in the North.”Megan realized at that moment that she had been a little too harsh on Justin and he was definitely going to be suspecting that she had close affiliations with some people in the North.“Did I sound really desperate?” Megan asked.“You don’t want to know how you sounded,” Karla replied. “You sounded like you were going to die any moment. You put up a show just now, one that would be very hard for Justin to forget.”Megan hit her palms on her head in frustration and just then, they heard the sound of feet’s scurrying about the kitchen. They stretched their necks to see what was going on and a red haired girl with a bony oval
“The right way?” Ghost stared at Descartes. “What do you know about the right way to fight a war?”“I might not be a Lycan,” Descartes shrugged. “Or a werewolf or witch or vampire, but I believe I know a few things about the system. I have been around here long enough to know how things work.”Ghost sat down back and reclined in his chair. “And tell me what you know about how things work, Descartes. I’m listening.”Descartes brought out a rumpled piece of paper from his back pocket, unfolded it and set it on the table before them with a loud thud. Ghost frowned and stared at the piece of paper before them. It was a map.“And what is this?” Ghost frowned. “How does this help you prove your point?”“In many ways,” Descartes said. “This is a map of the Old World. Up here js the North where we are. That cove over there is the dwelling of Ferran and his Ice wolves. To the right is the Mountain Ghost pack, up in the Mountains. Have you ever bothered to wonder why it is called the Mountain G
Xavier and Jimin had already made the decision to move at dawn the next day when they saw the strange boy make out with Karla in the kitchen It was a sunny day and they had gathered at the palace for the first official meeting since the death of Elder Xhang. Most of the Elders still seemed to be shaken by his death and it was no surprise to Jimin or Xavier because they had been there too and his death was under strange circumstances. He had been possessed by the Lycan King, Ghost Damon. The Elders were even more surprised when Xavier had announced his plan to unanimously elect Elder Obada as the new head of the Elders. They didn’t have anything against Obada of course because he had his slates clean. He was even one of the Elders fighting for the truth and the release of Trey back at court. The only reason they raised eyebrows was because the tradition was very clear. The Elders had always elected their own leader. It had never been in the Alpha’s place to elect a leader for them and
Aurum bounded away as fast as he could with Megan on his back and the kitchen servants had to clear his way to avoid been trampled upon to death. “Woah! Let me go!” Megan cried as Aurum bounded away with her. “Who the fuck are you?”“Your Alpha King,” Xavier growled at her. “Now tell me who you are.”“Well, you have to stop a bit,” Megan said. “I can’t possibly talk when you’re running at 150 an hour.”Aurum slowed down and shifted back to Xavier. “Better now?” Megan fell on the floor as Xavier could not hold her weight anymore. “Thank you for the joy ride,” Megan grumbled. “But I don’t think I requested for any.”“You’re welcome,” Xavier smiled. “Now tell me who you are at once. You saw what happened back there with the crazy boy.”“Justin,” Megan said. “I knew there was something suspicious about him the first day he walked into this kitchen. I knew it…”“Wait, wait, wait,” Xavier cut her short. “How long has he been here?”“Two days now,” Megan said. “He said he came from the Nor
Justin smiled at the boy standing before him. It was going to be an easy victory.“Come on, Alpha,” Justin smiled and folded his sleeves up. “Lets see what you’ve got there?”They circled each other with calculating looks in their eyes and Xavier stopped halfway and smiled at Justin.“So your father tried to kill me?” Xavier said. Justin frowned at him and shrugged.“I have no idea what my father plans to do and what he plans not to do,” Justin said. “I was more like a senior servant…doing the dirty work for him without knowing what was actually going on.”“If you were doing the dirty work,” Xavier grunted. “How come you never knew about your father’s plans to kill me?”“Oh I was never interested in you,” Justin replied quickly. “You see, my father wanted to kill you and I knew that quite well even though he tried his best to keep it a secret from me. I just didn’t care about you. You were not important to me. The only thing I cared about was my throne, my rightful position as the hei
Xavier woke up with a start. He had a strange and faraway look in his eyes and he turned around, trying to catch sight of all of them.“I just had the strangest dream in the world,” Xavier frowned. “In my dream, I saw my sister, Layla and she was…” Xavier paused and spun around suddenly. “Layla.”Layla smiled at him and he rose up hastily and jumped up on her, squeezing her in his embrace. “I can’t believe this is actually you, again. How is this possible?”Layla smiled and shrugged. “What can I say? We bless the gods. Selene has always been on our side hasn’t she?”“Its her?” Jimin frowned. “Selene is the one who brought you back to life?”“I won’t say brought me back to life exactly,” Layla laughed. “But yes, something like that. She bought me some time to help my big brother and his pack.”“I see,” Jimin nodded. “You know what we have to do right? We have to head to the ends of the earth. Xavier has to claim his right as the Alpha King.”“I know everything that I need to know Jimin
“You still haven’t told me how the two of you are brothers?” Layla frowned, her eyes fixed on her elder brother. “And why were you calling dad some hours ago? Is he somehow alive like you are?”“I promised I would tell you Layla,” Xavier grunted. “But there’s a lot going on right now. We’re still moving today remember? Don’t worry, I would fill you in.”“You’d better,” Layla snarled and turned to help a little kid that was trying to stand up. “Hello beautiful…”Xavier sighed in exasperation and allowed his mind to wander again. It was just the beginning of his second week as the Alpha of the pack but the drama that he had experienced first hand made it seem more like he had been the Alpha for a decade already. In just a week, he had watched the leader of the Elders die, as well as his own sister, along with a couple of other minor altercations that he doubted his father would have experienced in his own reign. It made him wonder if it was wise making all the decisions by himself. He s
