1. THE NEW BORN ALPHA

last update Last Updated: 2021-09-08 23:03:59

“It’s a boy, Alpha Vesilios.” The nurse that walked out of the labour chamber announced with a smile to the awaiting Duke, whose eyes turned wide with surprise as a smile of amusement crept on to his wrinkled face. The Alpha laughed despite himself, blinking rapidly to stop the tears that threatened to fall. With a nod to the nurse, the Duke walked inside the chambers, his ears filling in with the cries of his first born, the next in line Alpha.

Duke Vesilios strode towards the bed were his wife lay, and beside her their baby boy. He leaned down to caress the baby’s delicate cheeks, smiling fondly as he whispered. “Hello there, little one. I'm your father, and you are my son. It’s so nice to meet you.”

The baby’s cries died down as he stared at his father’s smiling face, cooing and whimpering softly before falling into a peaceful slumber. The Alpha chuckled at his son’s cuteness, turning his attention to his Omega. “He is beautiful isn’t he?”

“He...is...indeed.”

The Dukes smile disappeared the moment he heard his mate’s voice, which was hoarse and raspy. Turning his undivided attention to her, he gasped as his eyes turned wide in shock at the condition his wife was in.

“Imelda! Are you alright? You look terribly pale!” The Duke knew his question really didn’t make any sense, for the lady had just delivered,  there was no way she was alright, but the point is, what the Duke was seeing was just more than labour fatigue. She looked dead.

Imelda smiled with pain in her face, her chapped lips cracking as tiny lines of blood begin to show. Her skin was dangerously pal, and when the Duke took her hands in his, he flinched at how cold they were. The dark circles underneath her eyes were giving her an ugly appearance that contrasted with her pale skin. She no longer looked like the beautiful woman she once was, the strong Omega the Duke had wedded to.

“I-I don’t have...much time.” Imelda whispered to her husband, but all he could do was shake his head as his heart rate accelerated, for he couldn’t believe what was happening. “No...No that’s not true. You will be fine. You will live! You have to! If not for me but for our boy! You have to live for our boy!”

“I'm sorry.” A single tear rolled down Imelda’s eyes, dropping on her pillow and spreading the stain. The Alpha cupped his wife’s faces in his hands, his lips trembling at the incoming tears. 'Please don’t leave, please. You can do this. I love you! Please don’t go!'

The Omega stared longingly at her husband, placing a shaking hand over his own that cupped her face as she whispered those single words. “Take care of our boy. I love you.”

Her hands slipped, landing on her chest with a thud as the smile left her lips and her eyes turned distant. They still stared at the Duke, but not exactly. It was as if they were looking right through him.

As if finally realizing what just happened, the Duke shook his wife, trying to get some reaction only to come back empty handed. He heard his wolf cry out in pain as the connection between his and her wolf seared once and for all. Burying his face in her chest, the Duke finally let the prisoner’s free from their cage in his eyes, letting the tears drop as he sobbed violently, the rest of the manor mourning along with him.

The pack lost their Luna, but Duke Michael de Vesilios had lost his mate, his Omega, his companion, his wife. Leaving him and his son behind.

  • Sme·ràl·do [Authors: Aysha Khan & Zohara Khan]   AFTERWORDS

    Have you ever wondered, what could be the difference between something that sounded just the same as another, only that they weren't same at all, and instead were complete opposites? Did it ever occur to you that sometimes, we often used them together, calling them to be the same and not knowing its true definition or even if we did, we didn't really care. We didn't really care what it meant unless something tragic happened to us, and we are forced to look into its deeper meaning. One such thing, was this. The definition of loving yourself. To many, it sounds like a narcissistic thing to do, thinking too high of oneself or feeling like they are better than everyone else in all aspects. Yes, that is what many think loving yourself means. But that, my dear readers, is where we confuse ourselves. Loving yourself is not narcissistic, it's...embracing yourself. Because not every single person out there believes they are better than others, that they are higher in status, prettier, or a

    ~I'm cryingThat’s disappearedThat’s fallenLeft alone in this sandcastleLooking at this broken mask And I still want youBut I still want you~ - (BTS) The Truth Untold ------ -------- ------- -------- ------ A cold silence fell over the room as the seven young man took in every words just uttered by one of them. No words escaped their lips, no thought spoken out loud, for not only were their minds clouded at that moment, but their hearts began shattering as well. They did not know these people, never even met them and here they were, mourning at the loss the masked man had to go through, grieving alongside him and the one that told Niccolo the story. To them this was a story that was life changing, and it wasn't an exaggeration, it was a fact, and they were the proof. For now, they felt like they were seeing the world a little differently. "It was after their return from Elixie." Niccolo slowly started again, wiping his glasses with a handkerchief absentminded

    ~I started to become greedyI wanted to live with you, grow old with youHold your wrinkled handsAnd say how warm my life was~ -(Ailee) I Will Go To You Like The First Snow --------- --------- ----------- ------- -------- "Dear Stefanos, If you are reading this, then I guess you already know what has happened. That I'm gone. But we made a promise, didn't we? To share our final secret with each other? So I'm writing this to you, wishing and hoping that you find it like I hope you will. This is the first time I'm actually writing a letter to someone, and it will probably be the last. It feels odd how I had never really used my ability to write once childhood had left me. And now here I am. You see, when I was but seven years old, a healer had told my father I was ill, and that I would die young. Terrified, he decided to look for a cure amongst plants and herbs. Up until then, our lives had been nothing but merry, just what a seven year old child could wish for. My f

    ~Maybe back thenA littleJust this muchIf I had the courage to stand before youWould everything be different now~ - (BTS) The Truth Untold --------- ---------- --------- --------- ---------- Stefanos: I still want you… Even after the news of Xenia’s death, even after Draco broke down in front of me, even after I found myself blacking out in the middle of the market place I was still stuck with one thought for the last five days. Xenia was no more. My omega, the first person who made me open up, my mate…the precious part of my soul was no more. How is it that just two months ago you see the person you love the most near you, happy, alive and breathing only to realise the next moment that you were too late. Too late to ever see them again. I had never felt this level of despair, had never felt like life was this empty. Nothing had ever compared to this, to losing my love. I couldn’t imagine a worse pain than this. It literally felt like my heart was bein

Three days until the village of Vesilios had a chance to finally see the Smeraldo flower in its true form and not just a tale told from books. Three days until the villagers had a chance to actually buy it for the offering. But the one to sell them was nowhere to be seen. Stefanos stared out of his bedroom window, down at the garden with a firm look, as if he could not understand where his math calculation had gone wrong. Although he was high up, Stefanos could easily spot the vibrant colours of the Smeraldo's as they bloomed for a new day. He had been so excited to tell Xenia all about it. His adventures in trying to obtain the seeds from the Elk Forest, how it took him

    ~Bloomed in a garden of lonelinessA flower that resembles youI wanted to give it to youAfter I take off this foolish mask~ - (BTS) The Truth Untold ---------- ------------ ---------- ------------ ----- Stefanos: The seeds were in a soft mixture in shades of pink, purple and blue. They were beautiful, even as a seed they were glowing like Safire’s and Jade’s. How come something like this so magical and ethereal exist and I had no idea about them? Just watching those sitting on my bedroom table on a jar still had me questioning how I managed to have these. Was this really the famous Smeraldo flower seeds like everyone is talking about? Flower seeds were more precious than anything to me and knowing that I had these seeds in my possession really flattered me. Usually I had a manual on how to grow different plants but this time I was left with no choice but myself, I’ve searched around everywhere for any book containing the basics of growing this flower but ther
