“I, Alpha Ciandra of the Vagabond Pack strip you, Beta Garrick, your powers as the beta. I denounce you as both the beta and member of the pack.” Alpha Ciandra said, smirking on her face. Felicia took his wolf and cursed him to never be accepted in any pack. As extreme as it was, Ciandra didn’t care. She dragged him outside and said, “An eye for an eye. Don’t show your face here.” “Two down, one to go.” Alpha Ciandra whispered while walking away from a broken Garrick, begging for Ciandra to give him one more chance. What he received was fair, right? For a best friend who betrayed her, she did it right. Another week ended, and the news was still circulating but Alpha Ciandra hadn’t been seen by anyone. She was inside the Vagabond Pack, tending to her father. And for the first time, her and Felicia’s relationship strengthened. She released the warriors but not without a clear warning that they would be shot dead if they dared look at her in the wrong way or even think of running aw
The nights and the days lengthened. The nightmares came in full force. Every night, she woke up screaming bloody murder, as much as she hated it, it bridged the gap between her mother, the woman she never knew. Unfortunately, she didn’t like the relationship as she was selling it to everyone else in the pack. Alpha Ciandra couldn’t help but remember the son she had abandoned. Apart from Alpha Hunter and Felicia, no one else knew she bore a child at the lands of the human. They had agreed to keep it a secret after Alpha Ciandra told Alpha Hunter she didn’t want her son to know the supernatural existed until he became of the age of transformation. Until then, Alpha Ciandra wanted Hilla to enjoy his life with Mart Stone. Living and having fun like everybody else. The idea of Hilla being here made her shudder. “Alpha Ciandra, let us check out the borders,” Avery said from outside her bedroom. “Coming.” She replied. They got closer after Avery promised to work on making Ciandra for
“You are a sight for sore eyes, your majesty.” He curtsied. Feigning seriousness, she replied, “thank you, thy servant.” Suppressing a peal of laughter, she turned around. However, one look at him and she couldn’t hold it anymore. “May the goddess help you, what in the hell’s world are you doing?” “Queen, I am bowing.” “Oh, you wish. I did rather you hop for me.” “Ouch, my heart.” He grinned and straightened. “Alpha Ciandra, what is it?” An exasperated sigh escaped her heart-shaped lips. For two hours, she had been standing at the highest top of the mountain looking below, hell, she looked like a queen staring at her kingdoms. Only that, she was troubled. The weary feeling in her stomach intensified, her father, Alpha Hunter Craton left six months ago to protect the Nightstar Pack, his period had ended two weeks ago, and by now he would have been back. Alpha Ciandra knew her father wouldn’t extend his stay as she was expected to leave for the Dark Shadow Pack soon. The Vagabond
The moment they entered the auditorium, everyone was already there. The pack was exceptional and ready for anything. Even if someone was at the bottom of the mountain and got the link, they knew they had to get there as fast as possible. Alpha Ciandra motioned them to sit, they lowered themselves, and Alpha Ciandra went directly to the point, “as you all know, I will be leaving in a few weeks, and with no news from Alpha Craton, Beta Garrick will take over for me while I am gone.” Neither did anyone whisper nor shoot their hands up to ask where Alpha Craton was, why Beta Garrick had to take over and not someone else, or even when Alpha Ciandra was going to return. Nothing. The hall was silent as the words sunk in, waiting for Alpha Ciandra to continue talking. In less than thirty minutes, the meeting ended and everyone returned to their training. On her way to her office, she ignored the footsteps behind her, it was Beta Garrick trying his best to act as though he wasn’t there. “I
A week and a few days have passed, and still, Alpha Craton isn’t back. No one talked about it, it was as if he hadn’t been their alpha. In a weird and toxic way, it increased Alpha Ciandra’s tranquility state of mind. With no arrangement like a funeral, she safely completed Beta Garrick’s training and she was ready to leave. Hell, if it was wasn’t for the fact everyone had to leave on a set specific date, she would have left today. She assured Beta Garrick he would be a better alpha as she believed in him and left to pack some essentials she required to use while at the Dark Shadow Pack. In the evening, Alpha Ciandra wanted to throw a spade at Beta Garrick after he suggested they bury a banana leaf as a way of showing respect to their beloved maybe or maybe not dead alpha. It was absurd and so pathetic, and the moment the words left Beta Garrick’s lips, Alpha Ciandra roared, making everyone shudder. Fearing she wouldn’t control herself and attack her best friend, she left for an ev
With her intense training since she was born, Alpha Ciandra’s physical agility was infinite. Climbing down the mountain was a piece of cake and as she walked towards the neighboring pack, Free Pack, she knew in no time she would be inside the Dark Shadow Pack. She passed in front of the Free Pack and the wolves guarding the gates lowered their heads with respect and pleasing smiles. She returned the smile and continued her walk. She was a respected and renowned alpha who kept everyone under control. When her father had given her the letter from the elders of the Dark Shadow Pack, she had accepted it like a pro. She had written to them a week earlier, informing them she would arrive soon. After she read the words on it, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Foreal, hadn’t she sent the letter saying she would go? A few days later, she had learned why they had sent that letter with the order, the Dark Shadow Pack’s alpha was one mean son of a bitch who expected nothing but perfection.
“Where is Alpha Alphonso?” Asked Alpha Ciandra. “Be patient my child, you will learn of everything soon.” The elder replied. Alpha Ciandra hummed at herself, walking behind the elder, she was walking so slow Alpha Ciandra almost offered to carry her on her back. Her stomach chose the moment to embarrass her with a loud growl which made Elder Delora turn around. “I thought you don’t get hungry.” Elder Delora remarked. “Uh?” “I mean, you are the great Alpha Ciandra.” “Right.” Elder Delora offered her a sweet smile, “I like you.” She stood abruptly and Alpha Ciandra bumped into her, she apologized while taking a step back. The woman chuckled and focused on something in the distance. “Okay, I have ordered Beta Pierre to bring you food. Let's go.” Elder Delora said. It hit Alpha Ciandra, Elder Delora was talking to the stupid Beta through the mindlink. As they walked towards what she assumed would be a dining hall or room, she noticed the wolves starting to point at her. She overh
Unable to move an inch, or remove the alpha’s warm hand from her face, Alpha Ciandra couldn’t miss the way her body warmed up to the heat. Her face inclined to his touch. Please, tell me this is a joke. She thought. The alpha’s thumb was moving dangerously to her lower lip, and still, she did nothing, she was still chanting, "please, tell me this is a joke." Not once did Alpha Ciandra think the first fight would be between her stuck mind and her raging thumbing heart against her chest. Not once did she imagine her face being held by a handsome man while he looked at her as if she was a possession he couldn’t wait to handle in any way he deemed fit. Confused. It was the only way to describe her emotions at this moment. Alpha Alphonso pulled her lower lip, the interest in his eyes burning. Alpha Ciandra was a spectator to what was happening, far away with broken binoculars making the images unclear. She couldn’t believe this was happening. A wolf was heading in their direction, mak
