Sounds of brutal confrontations and growls were coming from outside. The palm over my mouth stifling me was slowly withdrawn. Edward was right in front of me. However, he was calm. I turned back to come face to face with Alex. We were in a sort of cave that appeared to be hidden within the bushes. "Why are we here? Is it inside the pack? I never saw this place before," I stared at Alex and said. "We are in the pack. But no one knows about this place. You are safe here for now," Alex said. "What is your intention behind bringing us here?" I inquired Alex skeptically. "He helped me before," Edward said. I turned to Edward and then to Alex, getting confused."Can anyone explain?" I asked. "Zen sent an assassin to kill me last night," Edward said. "What? Why would he do that? He was aware I wouldn’t cooperate with them if something bad happened to you," I said."They planned to kill you as well," Alex said. "They decided to apply force if needed. They didn’t need Edward or your co
"Shush," Alex hushed, placing his index finger over his lips. The cave had opened into the woods on the other side, just above the tunnel that we used. The war hadn't concluded. The intensity of it made the ceiling of the cave shake violently. After walking for a while, we discovered the exit, covered in thick bushes. Alex began to move them to the side rapidly. Edward and I helped him to make it fast. As far as I could fathom, we were just outside the pack wall that was destroyed earlier. We came out of the tunnel, in an open space. The sky was covered with dark clouds. The moon wasn’t visible, making it even darker. We looked back to find the sea of blood, and the corpses lying on the ground. The entire scenario appeared as an absolute horror. "You need to leave," Alex said calmly.I only nodded. "Take care of her," Alex turned to Edward and said. "Thank you so much," Edward said. "I doubt I could save my wife alone if it wasn't for you." "Now, hurry up," Alex said, ignorin
"What do you want?" I coldly asked, sharply staring at Claire. Claire only smirked. Her wicked smile annoyed me to the core. "How did you get out of the pack house so fast?" I asked again, skeptically. It was barely a few hours since we left the pack. The war didn’t appear like it would come to an end so early.If my pack attacked from the pack house according to the plan, it would still require Claire more than hours to catch up to my speed, unless she followed me at the same time I left the pack.However, I couldn't comprehend how was that possible. I saw Claire entering the pack house."I appreciate your strategy," Claire said, chuckling. She continued, "That was cunning, I must accept. Even though you saved the pack from the massacre, do you think the pack is foolish?" Claire smirked again. On the contrary, I was completely quiet with Edward standing behind me. "You can fool the pack. You can fool Zen. But not me," Claire said."I don't think I have anything left to expla
I'm Ella, a wolf female. Why am I emphasising on the female part? Well, there's a lot to tell. But mainly because I am partly a human as well. By stating the human part, I'm not pointing towards the human form that every wolf has. I'm actually a breed.These all started when I was 19. But before starting my story, let's go back to the time before I was born, in a mystical world. Where every part held its own significance. My dad was an alpha male. But he willingly withdrew from the conclave for the throne of the lead alpha of the pack.Generally the wolves used to live in packs in north. We would never go beyond the boundaries. None knew what was it like in east or west. Or even barely had any ideas about how the south was.
I can still remember that day. I woke up in the morning earlier than usual. Birds were chirping sitting at my window frame. Sweet morning breeze was coming to my room. A beautiful smell of pancakes were coming from downstairs.I saw a very young couple was enjoying themselves from my window. They looked so lovey-dovey. I was looking at their little sweet moments. I was 19 and still mateless, though generally wolves would find their mates after turning 16. After a while I heard my dad's voice coming from downstairs calling my name. I quickly got up and freshened myself. I never wanted them to see me hurt or worried. I never wanted them to think that being mateless was depressing me. As I was a half wolf and a half human, I wasn't a heavenly beauty
I went to the senior oracle's tent. No matter what happened, the oracles of a pack wouldn't leave their tents. They would live separately from the other wolves."Isabella," the old woman sitting in front of me called my name. She was the oldest oracle in our pack. Even after aging for more than 100 years, her eyes were still clear. A spark of intellectuality was shining through them."Ella. Ella is fine," I said politely."Sure, Ella. So you might know that you were living in the royal valley because of your father's status don't you? " she asked calmly."Yes," I replied politely again. I already knew that this was coming."Now that he is no more, May God rest his soul in peace, It's a heavy loss for us as well. As you're his daughter, we have a soft corner for you. But due to the condition of your wolf and your skills, it is not possible for us to consider you as a royal anymore. So even if we want
The next morning all the omega females got a call by the curvey, scary looking woman who was the head of the omega girls. She was a beta wolf. "We need flowers for tonight's banquet. But the flower shops and the gardens are already destroyed in the downtown, we need people to go to the woods to collect flowers for tonight's decoration," she was describing the tasks very casually."What?!! " but a stir of panic flowed through everyone. Who would go to the woods to die? People started murmuring."Banquet?" I asked in low voice."Yes, Don't you know? The Alpha is throwing a huge banquet tonight for the celebration of the prince's return," June replied whispering."As you all can see, we can't mess up with the cooking, so people who are directly involved with preparing the recipes can't leave," the woman continued. "You there!" she suddenly pointed her index finger towards me, "you, you an
I followed Alex to the top floor. Where the alpha and his family lived. The upper floors looked so expensive, totally different from the first floor. The discrimination was screaming through every bricks.Finally we stopped in front of a massive black door. Alex asked me to go inside. I nodded and was about to knock at the door, but found out that it was open already. I slightly pushed the door and it opened. It was completely dark inside.Just when I kept my foot inside, I was grabbed quickly and pushed against the door. I felt a weight on top of my body. A hand clicked the knob beside me to lock it from inside. The intoxicating fragrance of lotus flower and heavy breaths were falling all over me. My wolf was almost losing its mind. I was still pressed against the door. I could feel Zen struggling with his wolf to keep it in his control.Suddenly he asked in a hoarse voice, "What
