The Alpha's Dark Obsession 54: You're very beautiful
"The penalty is death!"Kalista came to a stop abruptly. Death? This couldn't be happening, she thought. She couldn't let these humans discover she was a supernatural creature. And worse, if they realized she was a halfblood, would that not be the end of her? How would she get out of this mess?Roland noticed she wasn't beside him and he turned to face her."Is something wrong?" he asked in concern.Kalista quickly schooled her expression and she gave him a harmless smile. "No. I'm just appalled at the rules of your kingdom. Isn't... isn't death too much? I mean, you can't just go about killing people just because they have magic.""We don't just go about killing people with magic," Roland chuckled. "We are not savages. King Astra only placed the rule so people with magic wouldn't venture into the kingdom. The rule is to protect his people."Before Kalista knew it, they arrived at a building that towered over them. Percival who was ahead of them pushed open a large iron door and Kalis
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 55: The king's unicorn
Roland paced worriedly outside the door, blue eyes filled with worry. Once in a while, he would stop and stare at the closed door, wondering what was taking Sir Percival so long. It didn't take more than a few minutes to check someone for signs of magic. Then why were they taking so long?He didn't know why he was worried. Kalista looked like every other human, young and beautiful. He was sure she wasn't a witch or a sorceress. Then why did he have this nagging feeling within him? And even if it was discovered that she had powers, why was he so bothered about a woman he just met? Shaking the thought out of his head, he resumed pacing when all of a sudden, the door was yanked open. He turned abruptly and pinned his gaze first on Kalista, then on Percival. Kalista wasn't in chains which meant Sir Percival didn't find out anything. She was human. Roland couldn't understand the relief that coursed through him at the thought. Why did he feel so relieved for her?"Everything okay?" he ask
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 56: Feral
It was dusk and the sun was sinking into the horizon when Percival stepped into his home. His shift had ended for the day and all he could think of was a warm bath and a bottle of wine.Strangely enough, he found himself thinking of the woman that had arrived at the castle that day. Kalista. She was a very beautiful woman, but she was strange. Although he had allowed her to go because the metal detector had malfunctioned and also because he felt she was really a human, still he couldn't stop feeling suspicious of her.She was strange indeed, and he found it hard to believe that a woman as beautiful as her wasn't a witch. He would just have to keep a close eye on her. If she turned out to be dangerous, he would have to destroy her quickly, to protect the people of Nirvana. That was his oath as a knight.But if she turned out to be harmless and innocent, maybe, just maybe, he could start up something with her. He had been alone for too long. He needed a female companion.Pushing Kalista
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 57: An escaped beast
The kingdom was totally silent and empty as Tyson raced towards the direction of the knights stationed for night duty. Strangely enough, there were no knights around. Even the ones that guarded the path that led to the castle were not in sight. It was eerie and Tyson began to feel terrified.As he ran, he occasionally looked behind him, checking swiftly to see if he was being followed by the white beast. The white beast was nowhere to be found, but the feeling of being watched descended on him, making fear cloak his entire figure.On one of the occasions where he turned to check behind him, he caught a blurry movement from the corner of his eye. He stopped abruptly and whirled around, his eyes darting around crazily. He strained his ears and tried to listen through the thundering of his heart, for the slightest sound.Something snapped behind him and he spun around, eyes wide opened in terror. He didn't see a thing but he could tell the beast was circling him, waiting for the moment
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 58: Saving Jade
"What's on your mind?" Roland asked as he strolled beside Kalista.They were on the path that led to the royal stables. Kalista had been lost in thoughts. The memories of the previous night played repeatedly in her mind amd she couldn't believe she had shifted uncontrollably again and killed people.It reminded her of what occurred in Northville before Jade took her away, how she had shifted uncontrollably and hurt people. "Are you worried about the murder of last night?" Roland asked again when Kalista remained quiet."Yes," Kalista lied, which was not really a lie. She was worried about someone discovering what she was. "Who knows when this beast would show up again. How can one be safe?""You don't have to worry about any of that," Roland assured her. "If the beast shows itself a second time, we will destroy it."Kalista said nothing else and just nodded. If only Roland knew the beast was walking beside him. She really needed to get the unicorn's horn and leave before something te
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 59: Drop the dagger
Percival had just changed into his knight amour and was about to step outside when his eyes fell on the empty tray of food he had just consumed.A thought formed in his head. Maybe he could see Kalista before he began his night shift. He wanted her to get used to his presence around her.Also, though he tried to deny it, he also wanted to make sure she was in her room. He still had his suspicions about her and he felt she was connected to the beast somehow.Maybe it was all in his head. But it wouldn't hurt to be sure.He grabbed his sword and stepped outside the room.On his way to the inn, he met the other knights and he issued out orders to each of them, reminding them of the perimeters they were to guard.As the other knights hurried off to stand guard in their respective spots, Percival continued towards the inn.A second later, he halted and a frown settled on his face. Kalista was a few meters ahead of him, dressed in a dark cloak with the hood pulled tightly over her head. Her
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 60: Why are you helping me?
"Drop the dagger! Now!"Percival's voice was both hard and harsh, and when Kalista saw the look in his eyes, she knew he was serious."I didn't want it to come to this," she said out loud and whirled around. With inhumane speed, she brandished the dagger and slashed off the horn of the unicorn."NO!" Percival yelled and charged towards her, sword gleaming in his hand.Kalista turned and faced him, dagger in one hand and the unicorn's horn in the other. Her eyes fell on the sharp tip of Percival's sword and she panicked.In that swift moment of panic, her eyes shifted, glowing bright gold. Her wolf surfaced she accidentally shifted. Wicked looking claws and pure white fur emerged from her hands and sharp pointed canines tore out of her mouth.Percival stopped halfway, his eyes opened in horror. He gazed at Kalista's half transformation and realization slowly dawned on him."You're not human," his voice came out hoarse and filled with horror. "You're a lycan. You killed those men! Damn
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 61: The runes are glowing
Kalista tore through the forest like her life depended on it, which in a way, it did. As she ran, her eyes darted all around her. The moon was hidden behind thick blankets of clouds and there were no stars in the sky so the entire forest was plunged in darkness.But Kalista could see clearly. Her vision had been enhanced and so she ran without stopping. Occasionally she would look behind her, terrified that the humans were catching up with her but each time she turned, all she saw was darkness. Soon she got to the river, just as Roland had explained. Then she turned north and continued running. Roland had told her not to wait for him and she wouldn't. For a moment, she forgot about Roland and how strange he suddenly became. All she wanted was to return to the village of the mist and save Jade. He was all that mattered at that point.Soon she began to recognize where she was. That particular part of the forest looked so familiar and that was when she realized that she was on the pat
