The Alpha's Fate Chapter 34: Visions of the Past
TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter has mention of child death. Although not explicitly shown or described in detail, please read at your own discretion. "Gwenna?" Leo asked, confusion clearly toying with his voice. "That doesn't make sense." "I thought so too," I began. "Read what it says." Leo leaned forward more and I could feel his breath on the back of my neck. "Azure Mountains, amulet, death of a loved one. Resurrection. I don't get it. Why would Gwenna be looking at this?""I have no idea," I replied. "I thought you might know. Maybe research for the pups at the school. I mean, we learned this story when I was younger too…" I knew that wasn't it, but I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt for Leo, even if my wolf didn't agree with me. I didn't really know what angle I was coming in with here, I just knew that something about Gwenna had seemed off from the second we met, and that somehow, this, along with what I overheard the other night, confirmed it. "Hmm, could
The Alpha's Fate Chapter 35: Tied to the Alpha
*LEO'S POV*I watched as Nia's head flew back. Her eyes rolled back into her head and her body started to shake. "Nia? Nia!"I shook her, trying to rouse her from whatever stupor she was in. I remembered her mention of visions—the first one she experienced being about Erylis. Was this another one?My hands trembled as I tried to think of ways to help her; to wake her. F*ck, come on, Leo. Think, think! And then, as soon as the convulsions started, they stopped. I waited, fearfully, for any sign of her awakening. I got down on my knees in front of her and reached a hand out, cusping her face. It was warmer than usual. "Princess," I said, rubbing her cheek with my thumb, trying to keep my voice as calm and soothing as possible. "Princess…come back—" But I didn't get a chance to finish. An intense pain jostled my internal system and I seized up. It felt like I was being ripped apart. I tightly gripped the arm of the chair Nia was sitting in, and closed my eyes. My jaw instinctiv
The Alpha's Fate Chapter 36: Keep Me Close
As I drew in a breath, I could hear familiar voices coming back to me. Everything was still black—I had no idea what was happening. I tried to open my eyes but it was like I wasn't in control of my body or movements. "Orene, what in heavens is going on—oh my…what happened? I thought she left?" My ears quickly picked up Gwenna's voice. It seemed like my reappearance tousled her a little. I felt her breath on my face, and wanted so badly to move away. She was so close and her hand touched my forehead; first, the palm, then the back of it. "I-I don't know," Orene stammered, followed by a frustrated sigh. "Leo just said to call Sylvie and then took off to the office for something." Gwenna scoffed. "Typical." She, too, sighed and then backed away. I was relieved the second her hand left my face. "She's running a small fever, but nothing extreme. Did you get a hold of Sylvie? I know she's been tied up lately. There was a case of influenza in the school and—" She was cut short by a
The Alpha's Fate Chapter 37: A Heart's Confession
I swear my breath left me. Everything we'd been trying to avoid—working so hard to avoid—was coming true, and from what I heard, there was no stopping it. I didn't take my eyes off him, but I also didn't speak either. It was totally unexpected, and I now knew what Malissa meant when I first told her of it all. To me, it was almost second nature—an Ancient Alpha, a curse, an amulet. But now, hearing that Leo had the blood of this vile monster, and that his fate was tied to this awakening…it was a lot. "Say something…" Leo coaxed. I blinked and finally turned away. "I will," I assured him. "I just—are you sure?" Leo nodded, and I deeply inhaled. "Alright, alright…" I found myself repeating. "What do we need to do?"I looked back at him, and he was staring at me in amazement."Do?""Yeah," I agreed. "What can we do to prepare for this? I can alert the pack, let the community center know. We can have Erylis and Orene send word to nearby packs so they can prepare. What needs to
The Alpha's Fate Chapter 38: Seeing is Believing
When I woke the next morning, I rolled over to outstretch my arm over Leo's chiseled torso, only to find his side of the bed empty. Groggily, I lifted my head to find a note on the bedside stand. I reached over and grabbed the paper, reading it in its entirety. 'Had to run into town. Call if you need anything.Leo' I grinned to myself as I set it back on the table and then rolled over onto my back. Leo said he loved me last night, and showed it in the most beautiful way. I couldn't stop picturing the way he moved against my body—we fit perfectly together and it was unlike anything I imagined the bonding process would be and then some. The thought of desiring to be alone without a pack or mate seemed so foreign to me now. That person was entirely different from the one I was on the path to becoming, and I wasn't eager to stop it any time soon. Was this what the Alpha connection was like? As I stared up at the ceiling, another thought entered into my mind. It was what Leo had said
The Alpha's Fate Chapter 39: Warning Signs
My hands trembled as I typed in my father's name. I was assuming Leo's meeting was to decide how to warn the other packs, but I needed to tell my father everything that had been happening before it was too late. I listened to the dial tone ring through four times before it went to voicemail. I hung up and immediately redialed, hoping to get through on the second time, with very little success. I cursed as I tapped the red button again and typed him a text to call me, then shoved it into my pocket. I leaned my head on the patio post and sighed, staring out at the driveway. The front door creaked open, and I spun around—half expecting for Gwenna or Erylis to be there—only to find Malissa. She smiled as she closed it behind her and sat down on the step beside me. "Hey," she said softly, nudging my shoulder. "That was quite the scene back there. How're you holding up? Really?" Her eyes were large, and I couldn't deny her the truth. She'd been through just as much as me since we got h
The Alpha's Fate Chapter 40: A Mother's Love
After Malissa left to go back inside, I made my way to the training facility. The last place I wanted to be was inside that house. I didn't know if I'd ever be able to look at Erylis again after that encounter. Not until we figured out what was happening to him, at least. I reached the doors to find the hatch still unlocked. I opened it and headed inside, making sure to close the doors behind me after flicking on the light. I still couldn't get over the size of this place. It was definitely a master class location, and probably one of the reasons Leo and the rest of the Bloodmoon pack were so combat ready. I stripped down in one of the cubbies and put my clothes inside, then shifted. If I was to keep my promise to Malissa, I needed to practice my training. There was no guarantee what we were walking into and with the Ancient Alpha more than likely on the way, it was best that I could handle myself. I scraped my paw against the dirt, feeling the pieces of natural earth between my
The Alpha's Fate Chapter 41: Moment of Silence
I exited the training facility and closed the door behind me, my conversation with my mother still replaying in my head. My grandmother experienced the same thing I was going through now—maybe another threat, another image, but it was still the same premise, and as I walked back to Leo's house, I found myself wishing she were still alive for me to confide in. I rounded the corner to go up the patio stairs when I came into contact with another body. "Leo," I said, surprised. "You're back." "I am," he replied. He then looked behind me at the direction I had come from and smirked. "Were you training?" Sh*t, I was probably covered in sweat. How attractive after the night we'd spent together. I wiped my brow quickly with the back of my sleeve."What if I was?" I tried to tease back. "Well," he began, leaning in closer to me. "I'd say next time take me because I'd love to wrestle you to the ground sometime." I blushed at his words, my body freezing on their impact. He placed a s
