It's already past midnight and the howling and the run must have rendered the wolvesâyoung and oldâpain to their muscles; that they must long to sprawl their legs and arms under the comfort of their warm blankets. But everyone is filled with eager anticipation and excitement. Everyone is awake for a good reason. Even Sebastian who originally planned to relax under the moonlight wasn't able to avoid the cheerful agitation. He stands beside Nyx with his arms folded against his chest. Nyx has been super excited after the series of howling. And now her heart, everyone in their pack, must have felt the thrilled anticipation to see their Alphas.âThey are approaching!â shouted Beta Mellow. He was at the entrance keeping an eye for the arrival of their Alpha and his Luna.A loud cheering arose from everyone as two huge wolves are running towards the entrance of the pack's territory. One of them is recognized, one is yet to be loved and adored. The cheering is getting louder as the Alpha an
66 BA Naughty MaridelleSituated on the wall on his right is a simple wall clock with a wooden frame; its shorter hand kisses the number four while the longer hand almost points to number eleven. His eyelids is drooping; and there is already dark line under his eyes. Everyone except the guards are slumbering, but Alpha Lachlan did not sleep after the celebration. On his hand is a piece of paper he has been reading for the umpteenth times. His lack of sleep has deprived him of good understanding or it is just that the report on his hands needs perusing.âIt's not over yet. It's not over.â He reiterated to remind himself he got a lot of work to do.Alpha Lachlan wanted to take his respite, but he couldn't neglect the urge to read the papers on his table. Right after he decided to sit and read the papers, he immediately wanted to slump himself on the bed. However, the report Lydia has sent to him is urgent.âThe Alliance must have known this before me. I hope they had found a solution a
67 BA The Note He cursed under his breath. All the time he had for his self, this is the time he doesnât want to get disturbed. Alpha Lachlanâs eyes landed on the wall clock. The clock says it still few minutes after five Oâclock in the morning.âWho could be knocking on the other side of the door this early in the morning?â he hissed in smothered annoyance.Maridelle let a soft chortle out as she witnessed his Alphaâs face being shrouded with the expression he can pulverize the person who had disturbed them.âRelaxâĶâ she joked on how ridiculous, but adorable his face against the light of the dim-lit chamber.He raised a brow. âYeah, rigth. It must have been one of the Omegaâs bringing my coffee.âShe flushed underneath him. She brought the coffee in together with the bread andâĶheat pooled on her cheeks. She left the note. âMaybe I should tell them to stop sending me coffee not until I tell them because as far as I had known you like sneaking around to watch me in my sleep.â He trie
68 BA Guess on it, Seb!There are more knocks coming from the unknown; and every knocks had gradually deepened the creases on his forehead.âI think you have to go to that door and open it,â Maridelle said to him. âIt must be so important that after few unresponded attempts, that guy havenât left.âOn the clock, the hour hand points to number six. The time the nuisance, as what Alpha Lachlan has dubbed the person behind the door, has waited quite long. Alpha Lachlan has praised his patience and persistence. Just when he is about to open the door, the knocking has stopped.He glanced at Maridelle. He gave her the look of whether he would proceed opening the door or should he do the opposite. Maridelle signalled him to do the first option.âThere must be a good reason behind the early disturbance,â he seriously uttered, but his tone is tinge with a little threat. âMust be an Alpha duty,â he added a second before the door slightly swung open. Alpha Lachlan had opened the door just enough
69 Brothel House (part 1)It took few minutes before Sebastian moved on on the thrill. He just wanted a bag of blood, but he got a suspense instead.He sat on the hood of the car, folding his arms in front of him. He is waiting for his companion.âHey. Got you this.â Nyx shoved a bag of blood on his chest. Sebastian looked at her, puzzled. As far as he could remember, it is still less than twenty-four hours that she had shown how adamant she is of not giving him a bag of blood. âMy twin told me you came knocking on his door, early at the morning to whine for a bag of blood.â She raised her hand signalling him not to interfere her speech. âThat's a human blood. I know it's illegal, but I got my ways.âSebastian took the bag with an eyebrow quizzically raised. âThank you,â he politely remarked. âSo that is how I will be getting my blood,â he added satisfied of the blood on his hands. It smells so good.He crafted on his mind the sentence to ask her what Alpha Lachlan should have answe
70 BA Brothel House (part 2)From afar, they witnessed Lavina being escorted towards the building. The door direclty closes as she comes in.âLavina takes care of that place. I donât have much information on her.â Beta Mellow journeyed his hands on the compartment of the car. âHere.â He handed Alpha Lachlan a manila folder. âThis is all the information we have on her and that place.âAlpha Lachlan slides his hands inside the manila folder and took a couple of papers. âWhat does it says, Alpha?â Nyx forwarded her self to glance on the papers.âSome additional information for our mission.â Alpha Lachlan gave her the papers. âSee it for yourself.ââPretty impressive. If they are making this place unnoticeable, she wouldnât dress like that.â Nyx commented. âHer entrance is grand. Look around the place. Like bruhhh. This is getting interesting.âNyx has said the truth. The building got the worn out, need-to-be-repaired building look. The could all say that it has perfectly blended around;
71 BA Surprise Clyde has heard it. âWho, Alââ he halted himself, bearing in mind what the Alpha has told him: donât call him by any name especially his title. âWho had recognized you?ââThat woman, Lavina,â he replied in whisper. âShe stared at me. It was a scrutinizing one.ââI donât mean to invalidate you, but she is always like that. The first time I was here, she stared to me like that too. It is pretty normal, I think.â Clyde explained, ensuring him that their disguise is not in danger.However, Alpha Lachlan has felt the strange atmosphere. He has to confirm. A force is telling him to be certain.âI am leavingâĶ I will try to sneak around. Alert the rest if something would not go well. Iâll count on you.âAlpha Lachlan has left immediately after his words are given.He strolled towards the same door that Lavina and the few men had entered. His hands landed on the door knob. His heart beats erratically. He clearly doesnât know what will welcome him after the door opened. But he g
72 BA Held CaptiveHis fingers run on the armrest of his golden throne; an elbow is supporting his upper body; his legs are crossed. Before his sight, in the center of the aisle, a huge silver cage sits. Inside are their precious captive: Nyxâs and Alpha Lachlanâs wolves, Beta Mellow, and Sebastian.Viller tilted his neck sideways, to and fro. âI got pain on my muscles. They are all heavy. Iâll certainly remind myself to bring a lot of chaperone with me.âHodor rolled his eyes. âI am bored. This is very time consuming.â The king of vampires couldnât count the times he had drummed his fingers on the armrest, waiting for the prisoners to wake up. He had waited long hours drafting a speech on his head, add good ideas, revise; Hodor had literally did all sort of what he can to relieve himself of the boring hours.Jek casted a look on Viller. But he remained still. Vamoire is not speaking as well.âAre you sure you did not overdose them with that certain drug?â Hodor adjusted himself on th

Days after the bloody encounter of the two opposing sides, the storm has subsided; the enemies has been defeated and although, the damage has been done so greatly, Alpha Lachlan and Maridelle as well as the Alliance has almost recovered from their wounds and from the effects of the encounter. They had returned to their respective abodes and pack, enjoying their triumph.âHow are you?â Maridelle said as she neared Alpha Lachlan who has been looking at a distance in the balcony of his chamber. His thoughts are wandering along the memories of the yester days events. All the hardships that they have been through, the enduring, the loses, and the pain; the smiles, the tears, the camaraderie, and betrayal.He tilted his head to see who it was; his lips curved upwards upon seeing Maridelle. Her face is bruised and she's wearing a white cardigan to conceal the rest of her wounds and bruises. However, her countenance belies her appearance. Her aura is brighter than ever. Alpha Lachlan slipped
All of Vamoireâs power is on both of her hands that is pinning Maridelleâs head on the ground. âDie!â Her hands are trembling, seething. But to Maridelle, she had completely forgotten about her own fight. Vamoire notices it and wonderingly followed Maridelleâs stare. She chuckled devilishly upon knowing the reason. âI had changed my mind. Iâll postpone your death a little longer.â She pulled Maridelleâs hair, positioned it better to face the merciful situation that Alpha Lachlan is in and ruthlessly uttered near her ear, âThat wolf that you love so dearly is going to die before your eyes. Iâll make sure youâll see how Jek will tear him to pieces. Then the demise of your companions will be next.â She takes delight on the images of their enemiesâ bodies lying lifeless before them. âThen I will kill you.âVamoire has painted the scene so vivid that the next time Maridelle lifted the lids of her eyes, the red fiery color of its orbs were disclosed. This time those eyes are tinted with th
Nyx has received the report and she was quick to disseminate it. As what she has received, everyone especially his twin brother was informed that Hodorâs forces has been accumulated and is advancing towards one common location, the City of Hilwood. They need to get there first before them. âI can feel the end,â Lucia murmured in nervous breathing. Beside her is Alpha Lachlan who is also busy preparing his double-edged sword. âHodorâs end. Letâs make that certain,â he suddenly replied. Lucia stopped strapping the special guns that are able to fight against vampires on her side. âHow sure are you about that, Alpha?â she whispered to him, making it sure that it is only his ears that is going to hear her. Around them is a bunch of busy warriors whose spirits are being awoken in the last minute; still unprepared to fight even though a scarce amount of time was given, but it feels like it was only meant for them to have a stretching and not the whole exercise. Lucia is beign careful not
One vial of Maridelleâs blood is resting on Hodorâs hand. He took it from his pocket awhile ago. Actually it had never left the comfort of his pocket since the time he took one from Vamoireâs laboratory. His palm encloses the vial as the door opens. âTell me some good news.âThere is a wide grin forming on Vamoireâs visage. She pranced along the aisle, closer to Hodorâs throne. âEverything is doing really great accordingly to our plan,â she reported enthusiastically. âWe are gaining controls over cities and towns and their fucking Alliance and all their forces are nothing compared to ours.âThe news delighted him. âAnd the monsters and newborns? Are they doing well?â He wanted to assess the magnitude of Maridelleâs help. âOf course. That bitch had done us a good favor.â She smiled bitterly as her thoughts wanders from the moment she lost her pretty appearance because of her blood. It made her even angrier knowing Maridelle had survived the death they had offered to her. Hodor noti
Hurried and nervous knocks reverberated at the other side of the door. Without a waste of time, it was opened immediately disclosing to both Alpha Lachlan and Maridelle the Alliance and all who builds it. Nyx was quick to inform them about the news and the progresses it had already taken.She kept her gaze downwards while walking behind her Alpha who had entered with his authority and bearing. The silence that occupied the entirety of the whole room after they had stepped in sends cold shivers to Maridelle. Their feet halted just a meter away from the center where Lucia is standing.âShe should be punished!â contemptuously scream by one of the Allianceâs member right after determining who their visitors are.His jaw tightened, fist clenched. Though he knew that is the best thing to do to Maridelle, for some reason Alpha Lachlan detested the idea. It only means she will get hurt. He held her hand and gently pressed it to tell her he got her. Maridelle remained gazing on the floor. She
It undeniable that the first being he would see right after opening his eyes is her is the best feeling he had for the past few months. Alpha Lachlan took his time to savor the moment as if everyhting is in peace. He slid his arm around Maridelleâs body, pulling her closer to his. Her back is facing him and his skin could apparently have the pleasure of her soft delicate skin; his nose is tickled by her body scent.There was a soft giggle coming from her. His lips neared her ear. âGood morning,â he sweetly whispered. Maridelle turned around and nuzzles on his chest. âI love you.â She smiled.He could not hide the happiness he felt; even his wolf gave a soft howl letting him know that he felt the same. A broad smile appeared on his visage; his eyes glimmer like the stars sprinkled on the pitch-dark sky. âI love you too,â he replied with all his heart, kissing her on the lips; but then the joyous moment has to be ceased. He needs to keep in mind the war Hodor poses. Regardless the mom
They drove along the dangerous road leading to the place where Alpha Lachlan was trained to lead his pack. Any time, their car could be susceptible to the rebels roaming around. The peace and order has been completely neglected. Lucia was so angry upon knowing that the Altamonte pack had kept the crucial information to themselves. She had almost used her wrath to destroy the pack if not only Alpha Lachlan did not convince her to analyze the situation cautiously. The Altamonte pack is the only pack that has fully prepared against Hodorâs forces. The bigger fight is not betweem them and so it has been decided to have a ceasefire and work together against Hodor. âWe are almost there,â he informed her. She nodded, her eyes landing on the blurring scenery outside the carâs window as their vehicle paced fast. âEverything will be alright.ââNo. It wonât,â she replied despondently. Not wanting to talk all over it again, Maridelle rested her head on the cushion of her seat and tried to doz
It was Nyx who first reacted after the shocking event of seeing Alpha Lachlan entered the Caruso pack with Maridelle at his side. The whole pack was stunned to witness the two together after the known dispute between them. Most of the eyes that landed on her figure are full of detest, apparently showing their anger of attacking their pack.âHo-How?â Nyx asked; she is following her twinâs lead towards his chamber. âItâs hard to explain, Nyx, but I want you to prepare a getaway car and some essentials,â he commanded. âI need it ASAP.âHe opened the door. Beta Mellow was already inside the chamber and so is Amari. Maridelle remained gazing only to Alpha Lachlanâs feet to guide herself on where to go, obviously avoiding any eye contact. Beta Mellow and Amari stood up as he entered the chamber. âBeta Mellow,â he called him. When he is certain that he got his full attention, he continued speaking. âPrepare the pack. All our warriors must ready themselves for a bloody war. There is going
