Natalia Pov"Why do you think Beta Heimdall took her as a tribute? Could there be another reason we don't know apart from becoming a maid. I'm saying this because there's no shortage of maids at the pack house."I heard a maid whisper behind me and I smiled gently. From the look of things, I won't have to bother myself in searching out answers to my questions. The answers would come naturally. By now, the procession had come a long way. A detour was made about thirty minutes into the journey that left me wondering why. The reason was because there was another small pack on the way they had to visit in order to get their tribute from their Alpha. We were already done at the pack since there was no resistance from them and now, we were back on the trail that would take us to Devil Claw Wolfpack. "I don't know although I'm also thinking in that direction." A second voice replied nonchalantly before she seemed to remember something. She suddenly yelped in an excited voice and spoke t
Natalie PovEveryone around me is quiet and tense. I know this because I could feel the tension in the air. Ahead of me, the Beta and the two elite warriors with him have their heads bowed slightly to the side. Among werewolves, that meant one thing. An Alpha was approaching. I am standing on the open courtyard in front of the pack house so I didn't get a close up view of him yet. The distance between where I am standing to where Beta Heimdall is close to about fifty metres so it affords me the opportunity to spy on the approaching Alpha. He emerged from the shadows of the pack house like a lone eagle flying among the clouds. He took a minute to survey the entire courtyard and I could feel his icy stare on me, even from that distance. He gradually descended the short flight of stairs from the verandah of the pack house and approached his Beta with a stoic expression on his face. They conversed in low tones and dart surreptitious glances at me where I stood among the others. Diver
Flashback continuesHe died on his way back to his pack and upon hearing of his death, we took the document he had signed and presented it before his pack members claiming their Alpha had signed that. We claimed he had known of his sickness and had come to our pack to seek protection for them. However, that didn't seem to satisfy a few of them. Their Alpha had obviously confided in his Luna and when she heard the news, she had expressed her doubts and raised her objections without fear but we weren't bothered. We had irrefutable evidence on our hands. Together with a few loyalists, she became antagonistic and resisted our taking over of their pack. Together with the elders of Devil Claw Wolfpack, we came together and began a round table discussion. We hadn't expected the stiff opposition the Luna had put up. At first, we decided to send sone rogues to spring an attack on them and make it seem like the death of their Alpha had spread and now, rogues were now trying to take over th
Flashback continuesThe success of our scheme with Blood Moon Pack was so appealing to us that we decided to make the other smaller packs around us become slaves to us and we became dominant. At first, it was easy to dominate the three or four packs which surrounded us but the further inland we went, we met with stiff opposition from those packs but we weren't deterred. We had the forces we had converted from Blood Moon Pack with us as our troops so it was easy to dominate the smaller packs which were closest to us until our pack became the biggest in the area. Once we had achieved that, we came up with the idea of buying the Alphas of our potential packs with gold. We followed the example of how we took over Blood Moon Pack but we could only conquer the packs directly close to us. Now that we had Blood Moon Pack and some of the other small packs under us, we began an organisational structure among us. The wolves from the conquered packs were made to become Omegas and maids who
Natalia's P.O.V."Alpha Draco!" I called out and I could see the irritation he had on his face at being called back. Nevertheless,he turned back and stared hard at me, perhaps to intimidate me into silence. "I'm sure you know I don't have to wait hands and feet in order to listen to a thing like you. I've got better jobs waiting for my attention."He said snidely abd raised his eyebrows in a condescending manner. I felt insulted but I had to get what I wanted to say off my chest. I folded my hands besides me and balled them into fists. "I want to know how many years I have to work as your maid in order to free my pack from your pack's oppression."I told him point blank as I raised my eyes to be on par with his in spite of his smoldering gaze. He laughed. Wickedly and without any emotion on his face. "I have to give it to you. Anyways, I have no use for you at the moment. I would think of what to do with you later when I have given time to the more important things."He spoke and
Natalia’s PovMy pack, Talon pack, was part of the packs which had been forced to be under the protective wings of Devil Claw Wolfpack. My father would always say that his father kept lamenting until his death why he hadn't looked for other means of protecting his pack instead of being under Devil Claw Wolfpack. At most, my grandfather would always say that they should have moved. They should have tried moving further inland in order to seek out new lands for settling on. It hadn't been easy for my father who took over the pack from his father as the terms of being Devil Claw Wolfpack's slave were getting more burdensome. Once during the reign of Alpha Draco's father, hE had felt insulted by the Eastern forces for their earlier invasion of Devil Claw Wolfpack during the reign of his father. He had wAnted to show that his pack was now strong and could now afford to sponsor a war. Moreover, there were rumours that the Eastern front was having internal power issues so he had wanted
Natalia's PovHe disappeared from my line of sight and it took me about ten minutes to recover from the cold his stare had penetrated in my body.I relaxed visibly and allowed my thoughts to wander. Alpha Draco's rule which had been considered easy compared to his father's and grandfather's was without its own share of misery. One of the after effects of its misery had led me here. About a month ago, all the Alphas under the rule of the dreaded Devil Claw Wolfpack had been invited from their packs to come visit Alpha Draco in his pack house at the capital. My father, obviously an Alpha, didn't have any other option than to leave. The contents of the letter which I found on his table had been alarming but I had assumed that my father had what it took to handle it. The letter had ordered all Alphas to make their sons makeshift Alphas who would rule until they returned from their trip to the capital. The letter ended by stating that that was the first condition to them winning the '
Flashback*** Alpha Draco looked around the dining room at the seated Alphas and told them to go with him. The affected Alphas were dIrectly walking behind him while the others walked behind them. He led the way through several corridors in the pack house. They soon left the bright, well lit hallways and began to descend down towards some dark, dreary hallways. The hallways were tiny and could hardly take a large wolf as two people couldn't walk side by side while walking along them. The party of Alphas kept walking through the hallways and they soon arrived at the underground cells that housed some of the hardened rogues terrorising the area. "Here…" Alpha Draco said as he stretched out his hand for a key and opened the door to a cell. A lady was lying on the floor and her little son who was about eight years old was sleeping on the floor beside her. The moment the door opened, the woman sprang up and growled aggressively. She rushed forward and stood before her son who wa
