XAVIERA

I stood in the large park with over thirty wolves. Leesa and Adeline stood on both sides of me, waiting for the moon to emerge. Rewind to how I got here, ready to shift with the others.

I had successfully walked out that door, and returned home, then I couldn't go through the door, because I couldn't phase through walls—or doors, and I had left my keys inside, and Anna had gone to the clinic. After contemplating going to the hospital, or simply assisting Moondrops at the park for over five minutes, I had gone with the latter. However, on getting to the park, I figured Moondrops was already overstaffed. So, I let Adeline win. Again.

She had quickly pulled me in, a little too glad that I had changed my mind, then proceeded to outline the stops they intended to take. She however emphasised on being close and not missing each other.

“Remember, you have stick with the subpack” she had reiterated severally.

Leesa had taken the invincible baton, explaining the formation which soun

  • THE ALPHA'S SECOND CHOICE    37: DUTY

    ALPHA RYKERAs I approached the door that led to the courtroom, I overheard a whole lot of noisy chatter. Two Elders were in a heated argument. When I pushed open the door to the room, the noise died down immediately. As I stepped in, the Elders quickly rose—a sign of reverence. I advanced towards my seat at the top of the table. Caden and Mason flanked both sides of it. They remained standing till I took my seat. A few introductory discussions, drinks and soon enough, the meeting went into full swing. The number of meetings weren't equivalent to the affairs of the pack. It was never enough, and we had a lot to debate on. I got new bills to be passed, new complaints, requests, and a whole lot of other issues that needed addressing. Then they deflected into the rescue of the last three Sentinels; congratulatory remarks, then the rumours surrounding the mission. “I heard the man's still unconscious”“He was poisoned with dark magic”“How did you know that?” “Who doesn't know?” Afte

  • THE ALPHA'S SECOND CHOICE    36: THE BRUNETTE WITH GINGER ROOTS

    ALPHA RYKER In the past three days, we had exerted energy and resources on healing Rueben, however the attempts all proved futile. He consistently slipped in and out of consciousness. And even when he was conscious for a few minutes, it didn't do much, as he could barely articulate anything. Each Salutary could barely detect the exact spell that was cast upon the poison, and the knife. And, the laboratory Anna had sent the blood samples to, had been unable to detect all the components combined to make this one potion. He was always sedated to prevent those spasmodic reactions, and had to undergo a series of rituals to keep the poison from destroying important organs in his body. The toxins had settled on eating the flesh within the wounds. And the Salutaris had used fire and coal to reduce how much of him the poison ate away. We were running out of time, and although I hadn't been awarded the opportunity to challenge it, Black Isle pack was the only option we had at the moment. I

  • THE ALPHA'S SECOND CHOICE    35: DARK MAGIC

    CADENI had a bad feeling about Ryker leaving for Littlemoon last night. And it was no because I didn't trust his ability to defend himself and his people. But, I always worried. Ryker was quite selfless, and would lay down his life for his people. It was both a blessing and curse, more of a curse to me.This worry had kept me awake, burning through several quantities of caffeinated beverages. When Calum had called me, informing me about several helicopters, and trucks leaving the pack en route to Littlemoon, my worry skyrocketed. I paced about the heavily guarded mansion. I had tried reaching Ryker, but for some reason I wasn't able to get hold of him. Then I reached out to Reid, and just like Ryker, his line was not reachable either. After several attempts at other people who could be close to Ryker, and no success, I become restless. The feeling that something might have happened to Ryker was enough to send me into full panic mode. So, I dialled Jerome. He sounded still, yet aler

    ALPHA RYKER“Find the exit!” I ordered, and just then an explosive sound tore through the house. “Fire!” One of the men cried. Then as if the spell was broken, the smell of gasoline in the room became unbearably noticeable. “Find a window, shift and escape!” I commanded the men. “Can you walk?” I asked the men we had just untied. They nodded, struggling to their feet. “Tag, and be quick” I heard the fire move, consuming everything moving upwards, and towards us rapidly. “Alpha?” Zara called. “Now!” I ordered, lifting Reuben. She turned, running out. I ran through the hallways, fire swift behind us, then I caught a door, slightly opened. “This way!” I kicked the door open, ran into it and located the large window in the room. I heard sounds of broken glasses from other rooms ahead. “Hold onto me tightly,” I said to Rueben. The fire came up rapidly, engulfing the room. I jumped out the window simultaneously, landing on the gravelled floor. Pain shot through me. Rueben rolled off my

  • THE ALPHA'S SECOND CHOICE    33: PILLS TO NOT TAKE

    ALPHA RYKER “You did what?!” I thundered, my anger swift.“It's just a little time before she'll start facing harassment. I had your interest at heart” he defended. “My interest?” What the fuck? He went behind my back, orchestrated a full security team and plan without my permission, evidently hinting on some assurance, and then returned to tell me he did it for me. Lauren had been distraught, and her grandfather looked like he could explode. I had walked out, uninterested in sparring with the old man, but I knew his clap back would be hard. “You defied me!” He'd roared. Well, I was defied first, every other thing was as a result of the dynamo effect. “She is your mate, so yes” Caden's words brought me from my detour. Why was I pissed again? Right. He defied me.“Talk about double standards!” I turned away from him as I secured my ballistic vest. “ Didn't it occur to you that Lauren deserved a security team too?” I asked him. His eyes hardened at this. He disliked her, and he d

  • THE ALPHA'S SECOND CHOICE    32: HOW QUICK THE WORLD TILTS.

    XAVIERA From the moment I ran into the Alpha last night, I knew the balance I was beginning to find again would tilt. Ever since the incident that sent me far away from home occurred years back, I had avoided the spotlight as much as I could. I hated bringing attention to myself. This world was quite a small place, and the pack responsible for the trouble I was in were alive and lurking, even if I didn't know who they really were.The Crescent moon which had become my respite, and shield from my burdensome past had now placed me in the very position I had tried to avoid. The moment I got home last night, I had quickly gotten out of my dress, freshened up and had settled for Mac and cheese. Anna had come in much later, and I had pretended to be asleep when she came to my room. Adeline and Leesa had rang me non stop until I decided to switch off my phone. Much later, I overheard Anna informing them I was fine and asleep. Last night was too much to take in all at once, and I needed the
