THE NEXT DAY
Chaos’s p.o.vI am awakened by the sun blaring rudely in my face. Which fucker left the damn window open? I would really like to know and give that person a delightful piece of my mind.It’s not like I hated the sun but it's in my face rudely and I am not a morning person. I try to move only to realize I am being held tight to a chest. I mean a very yummy muscular chest by a muscular arm. I look up only to be met with the adorable sleeping face of my mate. Ugh... sleep really does stuff to people. He looks so angelic but you and I both know he is nothing like that. I throw my head back on my pillow as the events of last night rushed back to me. I felt bad for walking out on Alpha River's mum and pack but I couldn't help it. My father is a touchy subject and I didn't like the idea of someone talking about him as if they really knew what he was or where he was. It is a guarded secret that his children, mate and a few select people and council elders of my birth pack will take to their graves.He may be dead to the world but he wasn't dead to me and our family and I won't take it from anyone who thinks otherwise. I was clearing my mind when I heard people moving to what I guessed as the training grounds at this time of the morning.Gently grabbing my pillow, I swiftly moved from under Alpha River's arm before replacing my body with the pillow.With a soft kiss on his forehead, I rushed to the washroom where I quickly brushed my teeth and pulled my hair into a loose bun before going to take a leak and that is when I realized I was still in yesterday's clothing. Quickly shrugging out of them, I dropped them in the laundry basket before looking round for my suitcases. I found them alright but they were empty.I opened the second door after the washroom door only to find out it led to a rather extravagant walk-in closet. I walked further into it and was amazed to find my clothes arranged just how I liked it. Color coordinated. Though there not that many colors to put them in. my clothes come in specific colors such as black, white, grey, ash, maroon and dark red. I hate bright stuff. I quickly searched for my black training gear and as soon as I found them, I tugged them on before pulling on my favorite combat boots to finish my look.After checking my outfit and liking what I saw. My tattoos out for display and making me look sinfully sexy and intimidating, I tiptoed out of the room so as to not disturb Alpha River. I closed the door and turned only to be met with the creepy beta seizing me up and down like a piece of meat.Having had enough, I drew a fist and socked him heavily in the jaw and smiled when I heard the satisfying crack of his jaw breaking.Taking a step closer to him, I lift his head up so he could meet my eyes and said;"I may be a woman but I would not let you disrespect me... look at me like that again and I will make sure you never see anything else for the rest of your life again. Are we clear?""Crystal. I’m sorry Luna" The beta replied with his eyes cast down in shame."You better be. Where were you going?""To wake Alpha up. It’s time for training.""Yes, I know but he's sleeping. Let him. I will be supervising the training today"I may have surprised the beta because his head snapped back up to look at me and it was amusing. The way his eyes widened with shock. So much that he stammered out;"Re... really??""Yes Matthews. Now let’s go. Lead the way" We turned only to realize we had an audience. I recognize the men as the entourage that came to my former home. I saw some staring at me with shock and admiration which am sure was because of my tattoos because it took a lot of courage and wit to get one not to talk about the thousands scattered all over my arms and chest whiles some looked out rightly intimidated. Good! I may be a bitch but I was nobody's bitch. With a curt nod of my head as a greeting in their direction to which they responded with verbal morning greetings before falling in tow after me as the Matthews led the way to the training grounds. We walked in silence towards the training ground but before we could take a turn into it, I heard the same whinny voice that bitched about me yesterday say;"Alpha is late for training for the first time today. I’m pretty sure it’s because of that ugly bitch he came with yesterday. That bitch looks like all she can do is roll in the sheets with Alpha and look pretty. Ugh"Before Matthews and the others could react, I raised a hand and signaled for them to stay put just before we heard another rather warm voice say,"Just shut up Cindy. You are just jealous." Shaking my head, I squared my shoulders and straightened my spine before walking forward into the training grounds.The whole place fell quiet so much that you could hear pin drop as I and my entourage made way to the front where a rather buff man stood chatting animatedly with a young lad.Matthews stopped in front of him and moved to the side so I was directly in front of the buff man.Clearing his throat rather noisily, he caught the man's attention. The buff man turned only to cuss out."What the fuck happened to your face Matthews?" he asked with genuine concern.Matthew peeked a glance at me and gulped when he found me staring heatedly at him. Sighing softly, he whispered;"I disrespected Luna this morning and she thumped me in the jaw."The buff man turned to face me with wide eyes and back to Matthews before chuckling softly."Well I will be damned. Please to meet you Luna. I am Jeremiah Montego, the delta and head warrior and this is my mate Stephanie" he said whiles nodding in the direction of the beautiful bashful woman that stood beside him before reaching out to shake my hand.Meeting him halfway, I clasped my hand into this and after a very firm hand shake, I answered softly;"The pleasure is all mine. My name is chaos and it’s nice to meet you and your mate"I turned to face his mate who was smiling softly but shyly at me. I returned it with a small smile of my own to put her at ease around me."I love your tattoos Luna. They are beautiful" she said quietly"Why thank you Stephanie but trust me they hurt like a bitch but I can’t complain now. It was worth it. Don’t try to get one. It fucking hurts" I answered rather seriously as I remembered my plight causing them to laugh"Where’s alpha, Luna?" Jeremiah asked"He’s sleeping but I will be in charge of training today. I want to see what I will be working with" I answered sternly“Really!! You train?" Stephanie asked in awe"Yes. Ever since I could walk and talk" I said causing those around to gasp"Don't fret. Now time is a wasting so let’s get started" I said before turning around to face the crowd.Matthews led me to a small platform which I mounted and after clearing my throat softly and pulling on my blank mask, I started saying;"Good morning to you all. I know you must be wondering where your alpha is. Well he's not feeling well so he will be a little late but till he arrives I am in charge. If you have any questions you should ask now before training begins."I watched as about five hands were raised and picked the youngest to start."Um what is your name and who are you to the alpha?" she asked timidly"My name is Chaos and I is his mate. Next question""Are you sure you can train us? How long have you been training? A rather young but muscular man asked"I am confident I can and I have been training since I could walk and talk. My mother was hard that way. Next question""Are you sure you are the Alpha's mate and not his flavor of the month?" a familiar whiny voice asked and I realized who she was.Letting out a spine shivering laugh, I said“You must be Cindy. You have been bitching about me since the first day I got here and you don’t know me from Adam.Now let everyone here listen for I will say this only once, I may be a bitch but I am nobody's bitch. I have alpha blood running through my veins and though I may be female, I take disrespect from no one.So, here's what we're going to do. We are going to fight since you think am not fit to be your alpha's mate and your Luna and the only thing I can do is roll between sheets.I know respect isn’t given but earned and I couldn’t agree more. So as soon as I get off this stage, we will fight it out of our system and I will make sure to beat you into submission since you refuse to see the fine line between me and you.But before I get off this stage there are two males that also disrespected me yesterday. For your information, my ass and hips are not for you to get off on and you don’t have to wait for me to get naked so you could get hard because it would never happen.It was a blatant disrespect to me as a woman and your Luna and like I said before I don’t take disrespect lightly.So, step out and move to the front with Cindy before my wolf comes to play because then it will be bloody and she leaves no one alive." I watched blankly though I was smiling inside as Cindy and two other guys stepped out of the crowd that was growling threats at them.Though they tried to appear strong, I certainly didn’t miss how they trembled or the fear that rolled off of them whiles the pack watched on with disbelief, curiosity, shock and respect. I turned only to find Jeremiah, Matthews and the rest of the warriors staring at me with pride and respect and with a nod of acknowledgement, I turned and jumped down the makeshift platform.We are wolves and this type of behavior was rather common. But that didn’t mean it was appropriate. You turn a blind eye on this kind of behavior once and the culprit will think they can repeat it anytime and anywhere without consequence.And soon others will start to follow in their footsteps and it automatically becomes a habit.I can’t have that so I am going to make an example out of them so the rest will know that respect for all in any shape or form is required of them as well as utmost discipline and control.✨I hope you enjoyed this! Stay tuned❤️“The damned were a pack of people that made up a rather small town in the far East some 700 years ago. They were simple people who farmed and hunted for a living. They were so disconnected from the world that they gave naive a whole new meaning. They trusted too quickly and took people for face value. You could tell them you have never committed a crime before with blood on your hands and they would believe you. And that is how they became a town of refuge for so many murderers, thieves and monsters of every kind. The outside world changed the town's name from Serenity to the Damned Naive or the Damned for short. They were a total of 10,632 individuals women and children not included. So you said you sacrificed all these people Felecia?? I am not sure monster is a sufficient name for the kind of person you are" The councilman narrated with fury burning deep within his eyes The first person she looked at was Gregory and you could practically hear his heart breaking from w
"Good morning everyone... The final rites of the awakening is upon us and the court of the realms and beyond proceeds over it. Today's hearing is to decide the date of a once mated couple, a family and a betrayal. I beseech you all, that until you are called upfront, do not speak, pass any snide marks or worse scream. You will be severely punished should you interfere. The court of the realms and beyond is no joking grounds. Let the hearing proceed and may the odds be in your favour. And may Justice be served..." "To start with, Tricia Bennet, please step forward" Another council man read out loud We all watched as Tricia bravely made her way through the crowd to the front but we could all smell her fear. I don't blame her. My father and his brothers made an intimidating sight seeing as they were all pairs of twins and looked very much alike. You had to really know them to be able to tell the difference. And right now, with the way they were seated it was like looking at the sa
FINAL DAY OF THE AWAKENING Chaos’s P.O.V I was awoken by the beating of drums and the echoes of a chant you rarely heard even back in our home realm. A chant that was as old as time itself. I turned to find Xavier leaning against the headboard with his eyes squeezed shut. My heart broke for my little boy. He didn’t deserve what happened to him either but we were both victims of the harsh reality that is life. The balance of the world had to remain intact no matter what and that is why consequences came with manipulating it. Consequences that were a touch to harsh but that is the way of life. Repositioning myself, I lifted him into my arms and cuddled him tightly to my chest. I turned to find his father sound asleep and I could only sigh to dispel the rage that was bubbling beneath the surface. Dropping a kiss on Xavier’s forehead, I whispered quietly’ “I am so sorry my little warrior” “I know Mama” he replied hoarsely We held on tightly to each other as the tempo of the
CHAOS’ POV I let my mind wander back to all that has happened today, the unending catching up and what not. In as much as it felt good to be alive, it didn’t help that this place awakened bad memories for me and to make matters worse, my innocent son, okay my semi-innocent son Xavier was here in this infested pack. I was leaving him back home but my son refused to part ways with me since the day he was born and in as much as it is endearing, it is also a major pain in the ass sometimes and especially in cases like this. He wanted to get to see and know his father and for the life of me, I could not deny him that. So here we are, in this darned pack. A pack that owes me blood. A pack that has awakened a bloodlust in me. One I thought I had buried for so many years now. The very same pack that I am an alpha of. Fate really has a twisted sense of humor. If it were up to my choices, this awakening wouldn’t have happened. I could have happy remained dead to this pack
Fat tears rolled down my face as I watched the large phoenix transform into a woman, I knew too well yet looked so different. With hair as white as snow and a flawless skin that looked sun-kissed and eyes as dark as the night. I watched as she got clothed in the finest drapes of cloth whiles our gaze met and held. The warm smile on her face had my wolf howling in my head for the first time in ages and that was when it crossed my mind to check her neck for our mating mark. I wasn’t really surprised when I set my sights on the unmarked skin of her flawless neck even though it broke my already fragile heart and had my poor wolf whimpering in the back of my mind. The tears didn’t stop when she shifted a little to reveal a little boy who had been hiding behind her. My knees gave out and I landed on my knees with a hard thud because the little boy who stood regal with a cute scowl on his face with his jet-black hair in a little man bun, with no shirt on and low riding leather pan
STILL IN ALPHA RIVER’S POV I don’t know how long I stood staring at the phoenix until I got distracted by the sound of leaves ruffling in the trees nearby. I only had to blink and the phoenix was gone. I had this boiling urgency to search for it and I did until I stumbled upon a small girl with red eyes about the age of 5-6 years. I sighed knowing very well where she was from. Getting down on knees, I asked her softly; “Hey honey, what are you doing out here alone?” No answer “Where is your mum and dad?” No answer “How can I help you if you won’t talk to me?” “I don’t need your help” she whispered “Ooh she talks!” I exclaimed sarcastically I couldn’t help the smile that graced my face when she let out a series of cute giggles. “Of course, I can talk silly” she replied snootily “So why then didn’t you answer me” I questioned curiously “Because I didn’t want to…” she replied with a sassy roll of her eye. Can you believe this child? I thought wistfully.
