"Alpha," a middle-aged woman wearing a floral maxi dress with a teal colored cardigan on the top came out to greet Alpha Orion. Her head was low while greeting in a soft voice as a bunch of children surrounded Alpha in no time. "How are you, Lenna?""I am fine, thank you," her head was still in the same position as she answered. Who was she?Who were these children?I watched the children of different age groups greet Alpha Orion with huge smiles on their faces. Alpha Orion seemed to be lost in his own world as well around them while I stood awkwardly watching them like a creep feeling out of place."Children, let Alpha enter the house first," the lady said softly but there was an authority in her voice. All the children at once listened to her. The toddler who hugged the Alpha did not leave his hand and started pulling him with all his strength saying something about showing him his new art."I am Lenna," the lady was now looking at me with her hands joined together in front of her
Who was Alpha Orion?The cruel Alpha who murdered people with no mercy just to take over the packs or the loving Alpha who looked after his people and for whom people had love and respect in their hearts? It was a question that was killing me.The journey was mostly silent, I was trying to get my head wrapped around the new side of Alpha. After Lenna returned I quickly apologized for earlier. Maybe she was right, maybe there was a piece of the puzzle that was not on the board yet. Or maybe she did not know the true side of Alpha. I had heard about him in the palace when he was taking over the packsIf the royal family had called him merciless, he was not a saint for sure. Spending time with those children turned out to be better than I was expecting. We read stories and played, one hour passed without even realising. Alpha Orion was different there, he was not just a cold and heartless Alpha who could scare someone with just his intimidating look. He was warm and he looked....ha
"It is safe to leave," Chelsea reassured me once again as we both left the mansion together. There was still no sign of Luca anywhere. "Where is Luca?"Chelsea gave some instructions to the driver before turning in my direction, "He is already there, I thought we need a place where Orion would not find us and we call could blend easily."I nodded but kept my mouth sealed, Chelsea was already helping me I was not going to ask her anything that could give birth to suspicions in her head. "Chelsea, thank you once again for doing this," I started telling her in a hushed voice trying to keep the word away from the person driving the car, "can you do me one more favor?"She looked confused but nodded anyway."Can you not mention any of this to Luca?""Alright," she replied in an unsure tone but I decided to leave it and not say anything else."It is just that..." I started explaining to make sure she would not suspect anything."It's cool," she smiled, "I get it, Orion is behaving like a
Words had a different kind of power, once said they could make a home in someone's mind. That's exactly what happened after Luca and I talked. He was suspicious about my relationship with Alpha Orion. I was not careful enough. I let the minor mistake happen...a mistake that could have cost not only me but so many others as well. *I could get you out of this hell.* His words were still ringing inside my ears. How could he say something like that? It was wrong, Alpha Orion was my soulmate. Luca was King's brother. Fingers would be pointed at the King and Eleanor by their people. Having a soulmate was so much more than just having a person by your side to greet others.Werewolves would not take this action lightly. I let out a sigh, putting the pillow on the bed once again after I felt like it was slightly toward the left and not in the center aligning with the rest. But what I left with Luca? No one knew about my relationship with Alpha Orion... according to his pack members I
I slowly got up while keeping my eyes on the person standing behind me with anger and an accusing look on her face. Without letting her know I started searching for something I could use to defend myself in case she decided to attack me. The chances of her attacking were meager as Alpha was in the house and he could hear if I screamed, he might not come to help me immediately and it could be too late for me. "What is going on?" I created some distance between us. Her blue were staring at me like a lifeless doll without blinking, there were no emotions in them. "You... you ruined everything ever since you came here," she sneered. I gulped but tried my best not to show any signs of weakness but at the same time, I was showing her I was not a threat. If she thought I was going to attack her in order to defend myself she might attack and my nails had no comparison to her claws. "Mia," I remembered her name from the time Chelsea introduced us, "maybe this is a confusion. We can talk
"You seem distracted today."I looked away from the green grass to the girl who was making a crown from dandelions. She seemed busy in her own world with no worries about anything happening outside this forest. The frown of concentration on her forehead made me wonder how she noticed I was distracted by something. "It is just...life.""Are you not happy with your life?" there was innocence in her words, but curiosity on her face. "It is difficult to explain, Flora.""Try me," this time she paused her work to look at me with full attention. I smiled at the young girl, "I have two paths in front of me. If I picked the first path, people I care about will get hurt.""What about the second road?""If I took that then I will have to suffer in silence."I knew she did not understand the entire thing and I could not tell her anything either. Ever since I saw Chelsea and Alpha Orion together I could not help but believe I was not meant to be here in their lives. And what Mia said worked
The night was as silent as it could get. Creatures of the night were not howling at the moon, everything was quiet....like the silence before the storm. I rested my head on the wall before closing my eyes for a moment but still keeping myself awake. The nightmares were not letting me sleep. I was getting tired of seeing blood and dead people in my sleep. I knew it was something related to the red moon. I was living in a supernatural world and everything here meant something, I would be foolish to ignore this....especially if this was a warning. Nights like these made me feel more lonely than I already was. Whenever I had a nightmare as a child my mother would hug me tight while telling stories about the happy times. Even though it was just the two of us she tried her best to give me everything she could. What if the times were different and my parents were still alive? Maybe I would not be sitting here alone at night staring at the cloudy sky trying to figure out my life. But what
I stretched my arms as I sat on the bed. After so many nights I had a peaceful sleep with no sight of haunting murderous scenes. I touched the soft fabric suddenly remembering last night...I was trying not to fall asleep and yet here I was in the comfort of bed not surrounded by chilly winds on a floor. Alpha Orion.Did he...I tried to shake the thoughts away, why would he do that? Knowing him he would just leave me outside in the cold.But he was sitting with me in the middle of the night, was it true or was it a dream?I softly touched the spot on the side of my head where I thought he had kissed me...that part was definitely a dream. My heart started thumping loudly as I saw the time...11 am. I sprinted towards the bathroom to get ready. After fifteen minutes as I was brushing my hair...the realization occurred to me. I was no longer in the palace, it was a habit...a part of me. I had to be ready by 7 am to make sure I started doing my work. But I was no longer in the palace,
