“We’ve been kicked out of the server and no matter how hard we try we can’t get anything.” Ash shook his head gravely.
“Were you able to find out anything before you got locked out?” Will paced from end to end of his father’s office.
“There was mention about an operation to find the escaped prisoner, I assume that was you.” Will rolled his eyes, why did they assume he was so important and not Kiah.
“It’s been weeks since we left there, they know where I am, it’s Kiah they’re looking for.” Will still hadn’t mentioned to them that she was the daughter of one of the leaders.
“I still don’t under
William awoke to the sound of his mother’s scream from down the hallway, his father was away attending the Alpha council and though he was supposed to join him, given the recent threats to his life they decided it was safest for Will to stay home. Will kicked back his duvet and shot in the direction of his mother’s room, throwing the door open to find her crouching with her hand clutching her chest, the sight paralyzed him for a second. “Mom! What happened?” He lurched forward, coming down onto his knees beside her just as Kiah appeared in the doorway. “Your dad- something-” She screamed, balling up further into herself from the pain. “Dad?” Will shook his head, for a second his thoughts were muddled. “Will we need to call the doctor!” Kiah placed a hand on his shoulder and another on his mother who was writhing in pain. “Of course.” He tuned them out as he tried to mind link Doctor Triste, “Doctor Triste!” The man answered immediately and Will rushed to explain the situati
“Are you sure this is what you want son?” Landon eyed him seriously, he knew Will was a mature and intelligent young man who would someday make a fine Alpha, he only regretted that he would be thrown into the deep end by recent events. “I am sure, Uncle Landon, this is what I was born to do.” Without a hint of hesitation in his voice, WIll claimed his rightful position. “In that case, by the power vested in me by the Alpha Council and the Lockwood pack, I Beta Landon Pierce hereby declare you, William Lockwood as Alpha of the Lockwood pack.” Will nodded curtly and turned back to face Alpha Greene. “Has the Alpha Council been notified of the circumstances?” Alpha Greene’s lips pursed distastefully. “Yes, but unfortunately there is more bad news on that front. I received news early this morning that six other Alphas were attacked on their way to the Council chambers. Most got away with minimal injuries, but regretfully Alpha Augustus Sentinel and Alpha Clarence, as well as his so
The full moon was high in the sky when Will’s head lifted from his father’s laptop to glare at the office phone blaring before him. “William Lockwood.” He answered, the number was unfamiliar and no doubt an emergency. “Like father, like son.” Star chuckled on the other end of the line. “Mom? What are you doing awake so late and why did you call instead of mind link, is everything okay?” Will sat forward in the chair, concern bubbling within him. “I didn’t mind link because there’s someone who wanted to talk to you.” He could hear the smile in her voice. “Hey, son.” Will’s eyes widened before he felt his shoulders sag. “Dad. It’s so good to hear your voice.” Max chuckled. “It’s good to be back. How are things at the pack, Will?” Will rolled his eyes but smiled at the question, his father was the type of Alpha every werewolf wished for. “The pack is good, I spent some of the day beefing up the security around the border. They send their love and are praying to the Goddess
“Will this plan is ridiculous, what do you even plan to do once you’re there?” Max burst, standing from his chair to pace the office behind his desk.“The other Alphas have already agreed to send ten of their best warriors each to form an army. I waited till you were better and able to care for the pack once again, but I won’t sit back and wait for them to bring us to extinction!” Will narrowed his eyes challengingly at his father.“Will- I…” Max ran a hand through his hair and sighed aloud. “You didn’t deserve the predicament you were put in while I was out of commission, but have you forgotten that they're after you too?!” Max’s agitation was quickly turning to anger, both at Will’s insistence and at the impossible situation they were i
Similar to nights prior, the castle remained moderately guarded by gunmen on rooftops and scattered camps in the forest surrounding the castle and Will smirked to himself.“Phase one is a success, ready the troops, we attack simultaneously,” Will ordered Landon and Ethan who were tasked as leaders of the other two groups.“Everyone is in position, Alpha,” Ethan answered after communicating with his team and Will nodded when Landon echoed the affirmative.“Move in.”Glancing behind him, Will ensured Kiah was right by his side when they stormed the castle and let her lead the way through the maze of secret hallways and trap doors away from the clatter and chaos of
For the first time in decades, the Royal Lycan Palace was alive with the laughter and chatter of its native kin. Alphas from around the world arrived clad in their finest attire to celebrate their victory over the hunters. “Ladies and gentlemen, may I please have your attention.” the spokesperson of the royal institution announced and all eyes focussed on him standing at the podium. “Today we celebrate not only the victory of the Lycan kind against one of its greatest enemies but also the return of the Royal family to the Palace.” He paused for dramatic effect, “For decades the identity of the Royal clan was kept a secret to protect them from the wrath of the hunters, as some may know, hunters, humans, and werewolves used to be one till the plague known as Sicarius caused many to lose their shifting abilities. Hunters, unlike humans, maintained the recessive shifter gene which made them stronger and set them apart from humans, thus creating three different races.” The speaker pause
With five votes still left unread the chairman looked up at the council, “By a majority vote of confidence, the Alpha council resolves to assemble a united army under the leadership of William Lockwood as Commander-in-Chief.” he announced, sounding pleased with the outcome. Will paced by Kiah’s bedside recalling the events of earlier today with eyebrows furrowed, he thought about the decision taken by the Alphas to enlist volunteers before actioning the registry and how he would go about creating an army to fight such a widespread army, he worried their mobilization would cause hunters to go into hiding amongst human communities rendering it impossible to find them. “Will?” Kiah’s soft voice broke him from his reverie and his body stilled upon seeing her almost black irises. “Hey, you okay?” She blinked, looking around the lavish room with confusion. “I’m fine, how long was I out?” she appeared disorientated when she finally focussed back on him, a sight Will wasn’t used to see
As the distance between Will and the Lockwood pack grew, so did Kiah’s anxiety. The Lockwood pack welcomed her openly and she easily felt like she belonged despite not being a shifter which came as a surprise to her, but still, she found herself missing something. “I love you and I’m tired of pretending I don’t, I’m tired of waiting on a promise spoken of by others.” Kiah halted in her step and her eyes widened, certain she was intruding on a private moment but found herself eager to hear the response to the man’s words. “Zai…” The girl sobbed, sounding happy, yet mournful at the same time, “We can’t do this-” Her words were cut off by a startled gasp and Kiah curiously peeked around the bushes only to see Azaiah and Serenity’s lips locked in a passionate kiss. The reminiscent smile that formed on her lips only increased the ache in her heart and Kiah turned away, deciding she would come back to the little sanctuary later. “You’d be proud, Will.” She whispered to herself, chuck
