The Alpha King's Prophecy Chapter 44 : Will You Join Me?
FerrahOnyx had his arm around me while we walked to the meeting with the elders. I was grateful for the reassuring contact. There were people openly staring at me as we passed them. It seemed like they were hurrying out of buildings to see us pass. I could hear whispers, but I couldn’t make out anything that was being said. Some people were glaring at me, others seemed nervous. A few were looking at me with excitement, which confused me greatly. I wanted to ask Onyx about it, but he was deep in thought. I focused on the sound of our feet on the cobblestones. The walk to the old brick house was short, but the stares of the pack made it feel like it was taking forever. “Ferrah,” a woman’s voice called out. I looked up in surprise to find Sybil hurrying towards me. I looked down at her leg. She had a slight limp, but she seemed to be moving without pain. “You’re alright,” I said in relief. I was concerned that I had been too late in getting Sybil home. Her injury had looked
The Alpha King's Prophecy Chapter 45 : They're Here
OnyxDamien, the Alpha of River pack, had been aggressive with Ferrah from the moment we entered the room. I could feel my anger beginning to bubble under my skin. The disrespect in his tone was impossible to miss. He was always close with Gilliam, and I knew that this situation was a sensitive one for him. But that didn’t excuse his lack of decorum. I kept reminding myself that Ferrah didn’t need me to speak for her. I had to intercede to keep the elders in order, but I did my best to hold my tongue until my intervention was necessary. Tensions were high, that was to be expected. Ferrah’s escape, Sybil’s betrayal, and the truth about Gilliam conspiring against us had all come to light within a few days. Everyone was having trouble processing it. Ferrah was doing an admirable job explaining the situation to the assembled alphas. She was articulate and persuasive. She came from a long line of great leaders, so it shouldn’t have surprised me. I was impressed with how well sh
The Alpha King's Prophecy Chapter 46 : I Trust You With My Life
Ferrah It was obvious from the look on Rydel’s face that he had seen Soxor. I knew that before he confirmed it with his description. He was distrubed. I could see that he was shivering just slightly. His instincts were screaming at him that there was danger and he knew that he should run from it, but he couldn’t. His obligations to his pack wouldn’t allow him to. He was looking to Onyx for guidance, but he wasn’t able to focus on Rydel. The rest of the room had erupted in a cascade of panicked questions and arguing. They were pushing towards Onyx, demanding his attention and trying to shove each other away. Sybil was shouting over the crowd, demanding that they calm down and shut up. It only caused more argument as the thin haired Alpha screamed that she was a traitor and she had brought this down on us all. I wanted to focus on what was happening. I wanted to help Onyx, but my mind was reeling. I could hardly breathe. The room felt too small and the air itself felt like it w
The Alpha King's Prophecy Chapter 47 : Just in Time
FerrahI opened the door and Onyx rushed out into the fray. I watched all of the gentleness he had just shown me melt away. The man that I was looking at now was the warrior that was whispered about around taverns and marketplaces. His expression was cold and calculating as he scanned the chaos around us. This was the man that had overseen the war for over a decade. He was decisive and devastating in battle. It was a side of him that I had never seen in person before, and it was captivating. His power was unmistakable. He was the only one that didn’t seem to be overwhelmed by the situation. There were shifters filling the narrow street, both in humanoid form and in wolf form. The air was conjested with the sound of screaming and growling. It was almost deafening. I was amazed we hadn’t heard more of it from inside of the house. The sound of feet on the cobblestones was adding to the clattering sounds of fighting. I could see women running from the street, some carrying childre
The Alpha King's Prophecy Chapter 48 : I Love You
OnyxThe moment I stepped outside, I could feel the heaviness in the air. Panic and fear had overtaken the pack. People were running and screaming and the scent of copper was thick in the air. Through the mind-link I could feel Emron, Rydel, and Sybil nearby. It was obvious that none of them had snapped into action as they should have. I wasn’t sure why, but that was a matter for another time. I was able to snap them out of their inaction quickly and get things back on track. The tide started to turn in our favor almost immediately. I ran into the fight, doing what I could do to help the vulnerable make it to safety. That was my focus until the streets were clear of bystanders. Once that was accomplished, I was going to find that bastard Gilliam and tear him apart. A pair of smaller wolves were chasing a young boy down the street. I jumped between them and growled at the wolves. They hesitated and backed up a few steps. The child continued to run in a blind panic. The door o
The Alpha King's Prophecy Chapter 49 : Too Late
FerrahOnyx was injured and there was nothing I could do. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t move. The huge black wolf’s muzzle was matted in blood and I could see a crimson pool spreading around Onyx. If I could just get to him, I knew that I could save him. Soxor wouldn’t allow it, though. His hold on me was like a vice. All I could do was watch what was unfolding in front of me. Onyx’s golden eyes locked with mine. I could feel tears streaming down my face. I wanted to look away, but I couldn’t. The pull in my chest increased suddenly. I felt like my heart was going to burst, then something snapped into place and I could feel Onyx’s warmth in my mind. I could hear his voice. Relief and grief flooded through me. I tried to tell him how sorry I was for failing him, but he shushed me. He reassured me of my strength, but I didn’t believe him. I had been useless this entire fight. The moment I stepped outside, Soxor had me under his control. The black wolf started to mov
The Alpha King's Prophecy Chapter 50 : Ready if You Are
Ferrah The morning after the Mountain Pass attack was clear and calm. It almost felt wrong for the day to look so welcoming. The sunlight showed exactly how much damage had been done. The loss of life was substantial, but most of those who fell were members of Gilliam’s pack. Bodies were still being identified, so we didn’t know the extent of the damage yet. Onyx was absolutely sick about it. The signal that Emron sent had reached the neighboring packs and reinforcements arrived just before dawn. They were aiding in the cleanup and care of the wounded. It was a relief to have their help. It meant that the people involved in the attack didn’t have to push themselves to deal with the immediate aftermath. They were able to find their families and comfort one another. The members of Mountain Pass that didn’t surrender had fled into the forest. It was likely that some kind of follow up attack would be coming, but with the loss of Gilliam it would take them time to make another move
The Alpha King's Prophecy Chapter 1 : Powerful Magic
Ferrah My heart was pounding in my chest as I ran and I couldn’t catch my breath. The exertion of running wasn’t the reason that I was struggling, I was in a panic. I had to find my family. I stopped running so suddenly that I nearly overbalanced and fell over. I looked down at the ground as a sob lodged in my throat. At my feet were two mounds of dirt. There were no signs of violence in the area and no signs or markers to tell me what these mounds were, but it didn’t matter. I knew that they concealed the bodies of my parents. Even though there was no grave for him, I knew that my brother was gone too. The entire coven was gone. They were wiped out in an instant and without warning. I never even got to say goodbye. I was too late. I felt like my knees were going to buckle, but before I could surrender to the grief that was welling up within me, a sound behind me froze me in place. There was no sign that anyone was there. I could normally sense the energy of a person when
