"Sit down, my friend. You know you are turning into my favourite patient." Dr Connery joked as he settled down to check Destiny's foot.
She gave an embarrassed smile." I don't do these things intentionally.""Maybe you are just accident-prone," he laughed again. "Did you break your ankle in the last two days?""Yeah, I fell over a tree root while running," Destiny said without giving many details.Jake smirked and shook his head."Ah! I see, it's healed but hasn't joined properly. I suggest you apply this salve and rest until tonight. You would be as good as new for the trials tonight.""Thanks, doctor," Destiny said, folding down her yoga pants.
"So it's all good now ?" Jake's voice boomed. He had been quiet until now observing their interaction."Yeah, all good my Alpha. Just that the young lady seems to be more accident-prone than others." Dr Connery chuckled.Destiny had a slight gash on one side. she was tiring quickly, she attacked the final wolf and took him down. she was exhausted, but satisfied. when she had started, it had been a little nerve-racking, but it truly was a test of skill. none of the wolves tried to seriously harm her, it was a good fight. she stretched her limbs, her back was stiff, and her left leg hurt slightly from the wound, but it was nothing serious.The circle had grown quiet as if all the wolves were holding their breath. She looked at the alpha, he looked tense, her grandmother was at his side, and she could sense her happiness and pride. “Now for the last challenge, the hunting challenge. serra will lead the women and sam will lead the men.” jake announced. darting between trees, destiny was elated. her senses were rolling with the smells of the forest. the women of the pack were hunting. the wolves moved with a purpose towards their usual hunting ground
Rebecca had been mixing the batter for her famous walnut cake when the doorbell rang, she ran towards the door expecting a jubilant Destiny instead, it was the Alpha. “Oh! Alpha Jake, you should have called me.” “I actually would like to talk to you regarding Destiny.” He moved is when Rebecca gestured him to enter. “What about Destiny? Is she in trouble again ?” Rebecca asked, perplexed. “Oh no, nothing like that, Destiny is doing fine.” Jake sat down on one of the plush orange couches. “Rebecca, you didn't fully convey her abilities. Destiny is very skilled, far beyond a beta. I'll fucking say she made child's play out of that theta and Ronin may be a recently appointed Beta, but he had some of the best skills I had ever seen up to tonight. She kicked his ass.” Rebecca sighed and took a deep breath. “My daughter Grace was one of the finest fighters of the pack. That wa
Destiny was tailing Kelly and learning about her new duty. After being made a beta, she was allowed to work in one of the pack owned businesses. She had jumped on the opportunity when Kelly offered her to help out in the restaurant run by her family.Kelly's parents ran a fine dining restaurant which was quite popular, she liked the place immediately.Kelly was sweet and patient with Destiny and had taught her how to take orders without mixing them up. Overall, the past couple of days were great. She felt welcomed and useful. Destiny had just refilled the water bottles when there was a sudden commotion. She looked in that direction and was suddenly grabbed by Kelly.“Alpha Jake and his fiancée just came in for dinner. Just dump everything and serve him,” Kelly whispered.“Me?” Destiny squeaked.“Yes you, we are short-staffed, and he is the Alpha. We can't keep him waiting after all.”
"Jerry I am going to check on Naika, you stay here ok?" Jake said to his little brother."Take me with you, I am scared," Jerry replied, shivering. "I will be back soon, looks like dad's episode has subsided for now," Jake said encouragingly to his brother. He climbed back onto the terrace only to see two figures running towards the forest."Naika !" Jake howled as he chased after his father through the forest. He could hear his angry growl echoing across the valley and it made him cry in terror. His sister had lured their tormentor out of the house because tonight he had seemed worse than before.With chilling clarity, his fifteen-year-old brain had realized that his sister would not make it. She would be caught in the monster's clutches and he would never see her again.Chasing after them down the stairs he jumped several steps at a time to reach the ground floor faster. He sprinted out without a moment's hesita
“Jake's father, Alpha Alex, was my good friend. That was before he was gripped by his mental illness. I am not from this pack, you see. I belong to Rockdale pack, my brother is the Alpha.”Destiny was surprised, “so you are an.....?”“Yes I am an Alpha, but I was never interested in being a leader. I like being a doctor.” He smiled.“Now coming back to our story, There is a mental illness that sometimes affects our kind. Something like Schizophrenia. Wolves call it moon sickness, as it manifests during the full moon. It's very rare, but it happens, there are barely four or five cases in the the the last 100 years. Usually, such cases are taken care of by the pack. The sick wares are either locked up during their crazy phase or occasionally they can be killed in case it's out of control. There has never been a case in all of our recorded history of an alpha getting it. That's why people refused to
“Come on!” Roxy whined. She sat in the small bedroom which belonged to Destiny. Her stomach was against the cheap, armless rolling chair which she spun lightly back and forth while facing her stubborn, shy friend.“No, I... I don't think it'd be a good idea,” Destiny said. She sat at the edge of her bed on her grandmother's handmade quilt, staring at her hands. Her pink nails stood out against her smooth, pale skin as she rubbed her wrist slowly. The tips of her frosted, straight auburn hair tickled her neck and she reached back to run her fingers against her nape while glancing at the clock on her phone.“Destiny, please,” Roxy begged. “It's the mating ceremony of the Alpha! How can you miss the pre-ceremony party? You haven't gone to any of the pack parties, and this is the time to get out there and enjoy ourselves! And Serra's going to be there, and you know I hate her. I need you to be there with me. Please, I'm begging you
Destiny felt her arm being grabbed, and she was yanked into a desolated corridor.“What were you thinking? I told you to stay away from Rodney !” Jake growled.Destiny blinked, fighting back the stubborn tears that seemed intent on betraying her. Jake stared at her, a mixture of emotions swirled on his handsome face as he tried to read her thoughts. She glared at him.“Why are you trying to get into my thoughts?” She snapped at him.His face darkened. Darn it. He looked so handsome. She could feel a lump pitted in her throat.“I am your Alpha, I am entitled to read your thoughts.”Destiny swallowed deliberately. She just didn't get it. “Why? Why do you care whom I am kissing or even sleeping with ?”“Because it's Rodney!” Jake said through gritted teeth. I wanted to make sure that you're OK,” he replied, his ha
It was the second time Destiny woke up sweating, and with heart palpitations.'What was that ?' She thought,' another vision ?' But this one was different. It wasn't from Jake's past. It seemed like a premonition something bad was about to happen. But what if it was just a dream? She never really had visions before. What if she was wrong? What if it were her wolf messing with her head. She was angry that Destiny had given up on their mate.Destiny threw off the thick blanket and padded towards the bathroom. She splashed her face with water and stared at her haggard reflection in the mirror.'I should at least warn him.' She decided.As the day progressed, the atmosphere grew more intense and more excited. The whole day was spent socializing and feasting with the different packs. Destiny had been looking for Jake, but it wasn't easy to meet an Alpha who was about to be hitched. He had things to do and people to meet.She had the misfortune
