CHAPTER 50AIDEN'S POVIt was past midnight when Blake returned with men and women, clearly exhausted from filling the whole paths and entrances with sticks soaked with fuel.Blake had explained how hard it was clarifying and convincing them to come back that he put his life on the line and promised that no harm will befall them."I hope this works, Prince Aiden." Blake said and I nodded affirmatively."Don't worry it will." I was sure of my plan."So what's our next line of action?" He asked and I fastened the ropes on my cloak and faced him."These monsters aren't ordinary, from my research….I think they are being controlled by someone and they appear invisible listening to every conversation to know our next move.An animal may possess the greatest power but their greatest weakness is fire." He nodded with awe and waited for my next words."We are all going to assign everyone to stay still by the long sticks and strike a match at the first order.It will seem as if we are setting t
ALPHA TAHIRACHAPTER 51AIDEN'S POV "What the actual fuck Man?" I yelled and pushed him away, totally taken aback by his outburst."What?" He gasped and I bit my lips."That's why we are trying so hard to pin this thing down before it gets to her in such a state. She also said that she's the only one that can destroy this creature in a flash but I doubt that now…not when she's not stable."Blake said and Seven shook his head."Where are the others?" He asked, now looking alert."All scattered by the path and woods waiting for our order," Blake replied and he nodded in agreement."Good, it's already an hour and thirty minutes past midnight. Get ready and listen."He said and I certainly paid attention to this one. He seemed to be familiar with how this creature works, so I'll just swallow my pride for a few minutes and listen to what he has to say or contribute."If this beast is invisible as you all claimed then sparkling the pack with fire is a good idea but fighting in your wolf for
CHAPTER 52AIDEN'S POVFuck!!I became alert at once and reached out for my sword which I practically threw on the sandy floor and got a hold on it.It was painful, so hot that I groaned and cursed; becoming arlert at once and Seven took over immediately.Seven left his spot and swerved his sword expertly with the fire in his hands slashing something which gave a loud cry and I jumped up at once.My arm was on fire but it was nothing compared to what I just heard right now.He fought swiftly and turned round kicking some sand up in the air and giving a fierce slash in the air.Something ugly and visible groaned and dropped down, writing and curling in pain.Without any warning, he drove his sword down its chest and I gave a loud gasp."You got distracted idiot, that thing would have killed you!" He scolded me but I wasn't concerned about that right now.I bent low to take a good look at the creature and my eyes went to the claws."It's a gar!" I cursed and Seven hissed."You won't get
CHAPTER 53SEVEN'S POVThe Pack was as quiet as a graveyard when I arrived and I transformed into my normal self and rushed inside.My instinct and sense of smell can't be wrong. Why are those Gars not here?I pushed the door open and Tahira wasn't there and that piqued my instincts.She never left her room and even if she does, she went straight to Ionna's room."What's wrong?" Aiden asked curiously as he observed my every reaction."Tahira is not in her room and the gars are not here, it doesn't make sense."I told him and he frowned."But they are invisible, aren't they? One can't tell their presence except for..""I can tell!" I fired at him and he scoffed, shrugging his shoulders."By their smell, their scent is something I can't miss anytime and you also have that ability." I told him, wondering why the hell he was acting so dumb."I can't smell them right now aside from my sister. In fact I refuse to smell evil creatures!" He fired back and I groaned."Can you let me concentrat
CHAPTER 54(Warning: Contains Triggering and Sensitive scenes) TAHIRA'S POVI was too dazed and shocked to turn back to the creature that was growling behind me. In all my existence, I never thought I would bear such a dangerous and angry growl which sent my whole body frozen and brought bumps from my skin. I could even scent my fear on the airIt was so obvious that it was huge and it was really obvious that I would get killed if I didn't get the hell out of there.Without turning back, I took my heels.I never knew I had such incredible speed as I ran and jumped over holes, my skin slapping against the leaves and getting pierced by sharp thorns making blood ooze out of my skin but I focused more on fleeing from this horrendous creature who might devour me.It went after me in haste, purring in anger and pursuing speed.It was so fast that I felt something in me cry out.We are doomed.Who asked me to miss Seven and take a stroll, I'm sure he's going crazy now…looking for me in utmos
CHAPTER 55SEVEN'S POVAfter we had barely run, I quickly shifted and picked the sword on the ground to fight the monstrous Hyde when I saw Aiden being kicked hard in the air to land on one of the tree branches, and ended up being badly hurt.Damn! That was a hard fall.I moved over to slash the animal when I saw a beautiful fragile lady sitting and staring with rage. Her clothes were so bloodied and torn and she gave a loud shrewd cry.For a minute I got distracted to take a closer look and…Christ!!Tahira!I gasped in shock and Aiden followed my line of sight and groaned.What was she doing here? We were here because of her, was she also attacked?She slowly stood up and yelled in a loud growl. Her whole being was fueled in a wave of indescribable anger, her eyes shone red and she commanded Hyde to get over.No! I can't let that, she might get hurt.I moved to stop her but Aiden's sharp voice pierced through me."Leave her alone!" He groaned, still trying to recover from the pain.
CHAPTER 56AIDEN'S POVThe relief that washed through me at that moment was enough to make me break down in tears.Tahira is back!I already had that feeling when I saw her fight in such a way and my heart couldn't contain the excitement, it faded when she came for us with rage and I knew we were doomed.I just thank the Moons for making her come back to her senses.She knelt and the first words that uttered out of her mouth were calling me stupid, her usual nickname for me.Tears laced her hazel eyes and she stared at me in shock not believing what she did not hiding her emotions still looking fierce."Why didn't you die, you silly Prince!" She gluten at me and u fight back a chuckle. "Cause I wanted to kill you first…argh!!" The slicing pain in my abdomen hurts like hell and I winced.She looked startled and looked around until her eyes fell on Seven.She swallowed with her gaze still fixed on him as she slowly stood up and went towards him."T.. Tahira?" Seven whispered and she sca
CHAPTER 57TAHIRA'S POV Blake was already gone by the time I went there and several dead bodies were scattered in the forest.I just hope he's fine, I could vividly remember the dying look on his face when that beast crushed him to nothing. It was an excruciating sight.How and where they came from still leaves me baffled as I dragged my legs to the path that leads to Black Crystal Pack.How long have I been in this state of dumbness that I let this happen?I fell into chaos and woke up in chaos. What the heck was Aiden doing all this while?Seven was the most annoying of all I could remember my plea back then, my desperation to get him out of that hell hole and fight for him to be freed not knowing he had other motives.Gosh!!Even the moon could hear my desperation when I asked him not to leave me in that dungeon but he left!Killed the King and almost killed the Queen.I'm not a fan of the Queen and I never will but letting her die by another person's hands just because of my resp
