He was outside again, with the net in his hands. It was a bit awkward as a wolf hunting for grasshoppers, but to him, it was merely a hobby.

Although, he had to admit that it was a strange hobby, not one worthy of being looked down soon as he regularly was. Now, it was nighttime again, and he had gone out with his traps, ready to begin his work.

As he began to set the traps around, his mind drifted to the girl locked in his room. She was now sleeping, and the last time he had seen her, she was muttering to herself. That time, he had come to drop the plate of food at the door and had not even set a foot inside to know what she was muttering about. In fact, he had not set a foot into the room ever since that incident that took place barely twelve hours ago.

She had a strange power, he knew. One that was erratic and uncontrollable, he realized, by how the looks of the furnace had been after she was done with it.

He recalled briefly, how the fire was so hot that he began sweating profusely in the room. He also remembered her screams at him, the way she assumed he had abducted her, and how she proceeded to use the ‘shoot first, ask questions later’ method to neutralize him, who she thought of as her enemy.

She was skilled in combat, at least a little. She clearly had undergone training, the wolf thought as he continued to wade slowly through.

If she were any other girl, he would have sent her away, with all the barrage of questions and mostly accusations she had piled on top of him.

But now, as his mind was even clearer, he had to somewhat admit that the girl sounded mostly scared instead of defiant and looking for a fight.

Something had to have happened, he realized.

The idea of that was there, and he knew that it had to have contributed to her powers behaving erratically.

It was frustrating for him.

He sighed lowly, to not scare off his prey. Of all the situations that had to land on him right then, that was the worst. Now, he had to unwittingly play host to her after she nearly burnt his damn house down, and she had not even for once, acted grateful for his efforts in even saving her sorry arse.

The wolf shook his head, trying to rid himself of the thoughts that now bothered him.

Damned soft heart, he cursed himself.

The process of his pleasure-hunting continued.

When he had amassed such several grasshoppers that he could call it a day – or night – he then hoisted the bag that contained his traps over his shoulder and began walking back to his place.

No sooner had he reached the edge of his grounds, than he caught a whiff of a scent, and he immediately recognized it.

Darius, let a small grin come to his face, as he approached his house and spotted Darius standing just in front of his door.

“Darius,” he caught his friend’s attention and waved at him.

His friend waved back and waited for him to approach his house, and the bag he still carried on his shoulder made some small sounds as they swayed.

Once he got to his front porch, he paused, turning to Darius and realizing that they could not speak in his home. What if that girl woke up? Even worse, what if something set her off and her powers react to it?

Without any other thought, he quickly waved Darius aside, before opening his front door and saying, “I’ll be right out. Hold on,” while he went to drop his bag of tools, and pick up two bottles of beers – his friend’s favorite – quickly moving out of the house.

His ears were cocked to hear a minute sound from the room in which the insufferable girl was in, and did not hear a thing. Perhaps she was still sleeping, he thought as he slowly began to relax.

The sun had only just begun to rise, after all.

Therefore, instead of going out on a long walk as he intended, he simply took Darius a few feet away from his house.

The two men simultaneously opened their beer bottles, and the scent of barley filled the air. He took a swig from his bottle, watching Darius do the same.

They were quiet for a moment, watching the sunrise over the horizon.

Then, Darius finally broke the silence, getting right to the point, “The Alpha is dead.”

The news shocked him so much that he whipped his head to stare at his friend with wide eyes.

“What? When? And how did that happen?”

“It happened all of a sudden, man.” Darius took another swig of this beer, before turning to meet his friend’s eyes. “One morning, the Alpha was found in his bed, unable to wake up. He was alive, though and there was a lot of hush-hush about it, so as not to worry everyone. But everyone knows that it was definitely murder,” he took another swig, finishing his beer.

He stared at Darius, the gears turning in his eyes once more.

So, the unruly alpha had finally met his end. But first…

“You said he was still alive then,” he queried Darius. “What happened afterward?”

“He looked strange like his soul was gone. I saw him, and there was definitely no light behind his eyes. I thought that even as he was alive, I was looking at an empty husk,” Darius shook his head, his mind clearly replaying what he had seen before. “I cannot say when he died, but everyone says that it was just a matter of time. He didn’t look alive at all. He just looked empty. They did try to resuscitate him, though. Didn’t work, but they did try.”

He nodded, his mind still in shock.

The realization of what this implied suddenly hit him. He had to reclaim his throne, then. Finally.

But how?

She had been watching the little play that she found amusing, she had to give it to them that the wolves indeed had a flair for the dramatic. The way they were all standing and looking like they had just received the biggest shock of their lives amused her to no end. It was almost as if they still thought they would be able to save her and even if they thought they did, it was just something that made her laugh even more. Scarlett had been destined for death the moment she had been captured by Meera and she had been smiling just a few minutes ago at the amount of pain that she was causing the wolves to feel.Then the Oliver boy had done something, she felt the thrum of magic from him and her heart lurched as she realized that she had made a very big mistake. She thought Scarlett was one of a kind, the only wolf with a special ability and even though she had been seeing Oliver around he even tried to attack her beca

    The head of hades saw that they were indeed taking their time to consider what their options might be. He was here, waiting, while they discussed if he was trustworthy or not. He felt he had made the right choice by changing his appearance, if he had appeared to them as his normal self then they would have never even looked at him twice talking less of considering what he was proposing. He got the feeling that they were also the recipients of one of Meera's bad actions, from what he heard she had kidnapped the daughter of these wolves and that was something that he did not understand. Why would Meera be interested in the daughter of some wolves, it must mean that there was something else that he was not seeing here. There must be something about the girl that Meera felt interesting, and to be sincere, he only knew one thing that would make Meera even stress herself to abduct the daughter of two alpha wolves.There was something different about these wolves though, the boy that was st

    Scarlett woke up to find Meera staring at her. Eleanor was not in the room and she didn't even realize that she had been so tired. The ordeal she has passed through these past few days made her feel like she was made of concrete and everywhere ached in her. She wasn't even sure what was what anymore, her leg felt numb, and the fact that she didn't sense Meera's presence when she came back in meant that she was also tired mentally too. She felt even more exhausted after the small chat she had with Oliver and the fact that she slept on the floor wasn't helping either, and now she had to deal with Meera looking at her like she was some unsatisfactory product.Meera already knew what she was there for. She had come to pacify Eleanor a bit and the little witch had asked for some permission to go out. She wanted to go to a mall. Meera sent her out with two guards, she was the ruler of the court of hades now so she had them at her beck and call, and she hoped that Eleanor would take an inter

    Scarlett had just heard something that she considered unbelievable. She was sure that something was off because Meera just called herself someone's grandmother. She had actually been thinking that Meera was Eleanor's mother, all the acts of love and the fact that Meera looked so young, too young to be anyone's grandmother if she was being sincere, she could see that something might have happened at the court they went to. Eleanor seemed impatient for the power that she was promised to her and Meera also looked like she had a major headache and she didn't have the time to tolerate whatever insolence Eleanor might want to display.She also made a very shocking revelation right now, she was a grandmother but yet she looked like someone in her early thirties, a very young face and aura emanated off her and Scarlett could tell that wasn't normal. It was something to make yourself look young but Scarlett doubted that was what Meera was doing.She must have stolen someone's body. Meera was a

    At the moment some issues were transpiring in the pack house. Jay and Skyler seemed to have gotten into a big fight and they were busy arguing with one another.Jay kept on insisting that Skyler return to the city to oversee the affairs of the huge pack house and businesses they had there. It would be unreasonable for the both of them to abandon the affairs of the pack for so long, but Skyler was adamant. She swore never to return until she saw her daughter again. She could not even believe that Jay was asking her to abandon the whole matter and go back to the city. She knew that what Jay was saying would be the right thing to do, the pack was as much as a family would ever be to them. They were the leaders of the pack and they needed to be there for the pack but she was not going to abandon her family again.While they were in the midst of their arguments, Oliver ran to them panting.

    The rest of the pack including Ian finally arrived at the pack house, the heavy atmosphere that they carried along with them was evident in the way they all sat with their head bowed and lost in thought.Oliver could not believe what had just happened, he felt guilty for thinking that Meera wasn't a threat and that Scarlett would be safe no matter what happened, to him, all that was going on wasn't just fair. First Scarlet got tortured in front of them and she gets taken to heaven knows where after that. He felt they should have attacked Meera all at a go the minute that she dared to work her foul magic on Scarlett and that was something that he resented not doing.Leia sensing his anger tried to touch him so he could calm down but he yanked his hand away and went to a corner of the room and he started pacing."Are you really going to act like this?"
