ALPHA'S DARKEST SECRET: Rise Of The Ultima Chapter 26: Asking The Alpha
MATILDA'S POVMy heart pounds as I slip out of Emal's room, a sense of urgency propelling my hasty exit. I had managed to get the vellum and I needed to process it in private. Stepping into the hallway, I try to compose myself, my thoughts racing. I have to figure out what Emal's connection to mother's room is and what he's keeping from me. But as I round the corner, I'm met with an unexpected sight that stops me in my tracks. There, just outside the door, stands the Alpha, my father, a stern expression etched on his face. It's a coincidence that leaves me frozen in place.For a moment, time seems to stand still. I meet my father's gaze, his eyes narrowing as he takes in my dishevelled appearance. I know he can sense something is amiss, that I've been up to something that I shouldn't have.With a deep breath, I summon my courage, ready to face whatever questions and consequences may come. Despite the shock of seeing my father just outside the door of Emal's room, I know I can't let on
ALPHA'S DARKEST SECRET: Rise Of The Ultima Chapter 27: Athena, The Lady In The Portrait
MATILDA’S POV I keep a discreet distance as I continue to tail my father, my eyes trained on his every move. He strolls around the castle with a sense of purpose, checking the surroundings one after the other. Though, a bit absentminded. As I observe from the shadows, my father heads for his room and my heart quickens when I see Emal approaching. ‘Damn! He is back’ I quickly slip back into Emal's room in a moment of urgency and a desire to keep the portrait back where it should be. Stealthily, I place the portrait where I had found it earlier, ensuring it's concealed from view. It's a precaution to ensure that having visited his room remains a secret. Then, I make my way back to Father's room side with the same aim I had done so earlier –tailing Father. He is having a discussion with Emal by the time I return but I can't care less. That's the very least of my concern. However, I continue to stay vigilant. I continue to trail my father as he finishes his conversation with Emal and
ALPHA'S DARKEST SECRET: Rise Of The Ultima Chapter 28: Playing The Luna
MATILDA’S POVWait! What? How in hell? I stand hidden from the entrance as soon as Father exits Mother's room, my heart pounding as I recall what Father says last before leaving with an angry expression. Eavesdropping on their heated argument, I never expected to hear such a secret.My little brother, the one I've cared for, played with, and protected, is not my blood sibling. My mind races with confusion, my eyes begin to change colour, and my world suddenly feels like it's unravelling. How is this possible? I've never suspected a thing. No one did!Replaying the scenario in my mind wishing it is not at all true, I'm gripped by a whirlwind of emotions. Betrayal, anger, confusion and a profound sense of hurt flood over me. How could my parents keep such a secret from us, from everyone? I thought we were a family, bound by blood and love.I struggle to comprehend the truth as the reality sinks in. My relationship with my little brother, whom I've always considered my best family, is no
ALPHA'S DARKEST SECRET: Rise Of The Ultima Chapter 29: Eavesdropping On Her Pups
EMAL'S POV Understanding Matilda’s inquisitive nature and knowing her tendency to be forthcoming, I connect the dots, realizing she must have had a reason for going over to my room in the first place. My nerves calmed a bit, knowing she was the one who entered my room and not someone else. The urge to confront her right then was eminent for me but I put myself under total and complete control. There is no cause for alarm yet. Deciding not to confront her, I opt to wait. I know quite right that Matilda’s curiosity often gets the better of her, and she’d probably seek me out with a flurry of questions. Patiently biding my time in my room, I anticipate her eventual arrival, preparing myself for the conversation that's bound to unfold between us. As the night settles in, the air is charged with her imminent arrival. Before she even has a chance to knock on my door, I call out, "Come in, you don’t need to create a noise." "I guess you’ve returned," she says upon entering. "Yes, I retu
ALPHA'S DARKEST SECRET: Rise Of The Ultima Chapter 1
The wind blows slowly radiating a serene feel as the morning hours begins to drift into the afternoon. Children sit outside the royal castle of the pack playing happily showing their powers to one another. The castle exudes power with its several round towers piercing the sky as the first structure one will see of it. It is connected by reinforced, vast, solid walls made of very rare and expensive golden stones. Refined windows are scattered here and there across the walls in a seemingly random pattern, along with overhanging crenelations for archers and for other ideal defense mechanisms. A regular gate with massive metal doors, a regular bridge and strong defenses of well trained and skilled castle guards stand at alert all around its perimeter.Though, it is still some thirty minutes before noon, the sun is beginning to get harsher on the skin. Yet, the children and people outdoors never care as they enjoy every feel nature shower upon them.Since the playing children are still cons
ALPHA'S DARKEST SECRET: Rise Of The Ultima Chapter 2
EMAL'S POVThe large metal ball in the center of the castle yard seems to be hit by the guards on early morning patrol. I stand up sluggishly from my bed and walk my way into the bathroom in order to freshen up.I enter the bathroom and turn on the shower staying still under it for a while and letting the cold soothing water get to me."You will be more than others; in fact you must be!" my father's words rings in my ears. I hate the fact that I have to be bullied by everyone in the pack. It hurts like hell.‘If only I can do something to stop them. If only I can gain some powers. Do I even have a wolf? Others feel their wolves and communicate with it, while mine never showed up for once. Not even once. It hurts so much and I don't have an idea what I am to do. All I can pray for is not to be pushed into desperation.’ Well, today is another day and I am ready to go to school. What awaits me, I don't know. The previous week, father never allowed me to leave the pack because the last ti
ALPHA'S DARKEST SECRET: Rise Of The Ultima Chapter 3
EMAL'S POVStill in school, Blake tilts my head up forcefully and asks me to stand up. I resist with hope that the teacher would come in soon. Though the presence of a teacher would mean nothing, it's better as it will serve as a distraction to the whole class entirely. I raise my hand up glancing at my wristwatch and sigh inwardly. "It's time for the teacher to be in class already. What's taking him or her so long?" "Are you waiting for someone? The teacher?" Blake asks mockingly."I think someone should tell the absentee that the teacher would not be coming anytime soon." Blake says while still holding my face and facing the class. Another giggle and round of laughter resounds in the class."What was I waiting for in the first place?" I ask no one but myself."Can you please go back to your seat? This is my territory and I didn't cross the line." I say hoping he would just desist from his evil plans and leave me to myself. Well, it turned out to be just hope."What did you say? Yo
ALPHA'S DARKEST SECRET: Rise Of The Ultima Chapter 4
EMAL'S POVThe detention room gradually gets darker as it is already evening and the dark clouds are fast covering up the bright sky. It seems like everyone forgot me here. If I have some powers, I would break through the iron lock guarding the room.Right now, I can't reach out to anyone neither can I mind-link Matilda. I sigh and sit back on the floor gazing at the door at every passing second. Minutes passed already and I begin to lost hope until I hear footsteps, feet away. The steps are quick and getting closer. My face brightened up when I saw my sister. At least, she never forgets me for so long.Indeed, she's the only one that treats me well and I have no doubt about it. "Emal,” she ran to me and passed me a bottle of water from her bag."After drinking to my fill and recovering from exhaustion, we head out of the school. On our way back home, we both remain silent."I'm sorry." she breaks the silence and I tilt my head up to look at her face. "Why are you saying sorry?" I ask
