The Sons of the Alpha

******Lyra*******

“Is this because of this thing you alerted us that we have a visitor?!” The one with the cold eyes said while he turned his back to leave.

“Lucien…. Don't do that,” The one with the dark said quietly , the one that seemed cool. But there was a weight in it that made even the cold one stop.

It was then I realised that the hungry wolf was bearing Lucien.

He paused, then turned his back, facing us now. “I have a project to submit to Alpha,” He said, and just like that, he turned his back to leave.

“Alpha?” I whispered, the word tasting strange in my tongue. “Did he just say Alpha?”

But before any one could utter anything, he turned his back and left, his footsteps that were echoing before, disappeared in a few seconds.

“Isn’t the Alpha that gave us an assignment that is here with us,” the calm one said, his voice laced with amusement as he faced the other brother.

The second one who hasn't said a word all this while, smirked. Then, his eyes met with mine, and I noticed something devilish flashed in his eyes, it was somehow dangerous and teasing all at once.

“Alpha, I'd like to leave,” he said casually, his lips curving slightly with a weird smile, before he looked at me again. “Unless, of course, our guests needs entertainment.”

My chest tightened. My breath caught in my throat. It was then I knew I was in a bigger problem, none of the boys except one seemed welcoming. I knew my stay wouldn't be and never will be easy.

“Davas,” Damian’s voice came in, laced with authority. “You may leave.”

Davas smiled softly, his gaze still fixed on me as he walked past me. “Welcome to the estate of werewolves and machines,” he said, his voice trailing off as he disappeared around the corner.

I smirked, although I don't get what he meant by werewolves, but I knew by just looking at them, they all looked weird, and they looked like they could bite.

The calm one, Julius was the only one left, Damian and Faith(the robot). Julius' expression was softened a little and our gaze met. He looked more human than all of them, his energy was also different, it was peaceful, I thought.

“I’m sorry about them,” he said quietly. “Theyre….a little unpredictable.”

“Unpredictable?” I repeated, while forcing a smile on my face. “You mean scary.”

He burst into laughter, the sound reverberating in my ears. “You’ll get use to it…. If you stay long enough,”

Stay? The word sent a shiver down my spine. In this estate filled with strange things, the only reason I agreed to follow Damian was because I was thinking he knew something and he would helped me go back to my time.

“Julius…” Damian's voice cut through, “Show her to her apartment.” He ordered.

Julius nodded, I turned and followed him, but instead of where they came out from earlier, he followed another direction. He pressed a button on his hand and a creature appeared in the sky.

My chest tightened. It looks exactly like a dragon, but it was made of glass, shimmering as it landed in front of us.

“Meet Kelvin…”’Julius said. “Your assistant in this estate.”

“Welcome, Lyra.” I heard a mechanical voice come out from where the Kelvin was.

“Hop on me, so that I could drop you off at your mansion,” he added.

I hesitated at first, staring at the glass dragon as its wings were humming faintly blue.

“You seemed weird, Lyra,” Julius said, his voice cutting the silence. “Well…. Alpha said you need to rest,” he said and turned his back to leave.

Then, I knew I had no choice than to hop on Kelvin’s back. As I sat on him, I felt something in my body awake, but not quite sure.

Suddenly, it took off and in a jiffy it landed in front of an absolutely breathtaking building, quite similar to the main building, everything was made with glass—yet I couldn't see what was inside. Then, my gaze landed on an electric car parked beside the building.

"That's your car, Lyra.” Kelvin said quietly, as if he already knew the question I wanted to ask. “And your new home.”

Still in awe of what I was seeing, I dragged myself to the entrance of the house, before I could make any attempt to unlock the door.

“Welcome Lyra,” a mechanical tone came out from the door.

At that point, everything clearly became weird, the door knew my name and had been expecting me. How come? Everyone knew I was coming when I only picked a leaf on the floor when going home.

“Hopefully, my solution to going back is here,” I whispered.

As I entered the house, my body jerked, standing inside the room was Faith and Damian. I couldn't even process anything in the room.

“Apologies,” Faith said politely. “I am required to perform a standard environmental scan.”

I frowned. “A what?”

Before Damian could answer, a ray of light shot out from Faith’s chest, sweeping slowly across the room, and landed directly on me.

My heart skipped at that moment. “What are you doing?”

“Routine energy analysis,” Faith replied smoothly, but i noticed something about how he sounded, he sounded like he'd discovered something that didn't make sense. His eyes were blinked, and his gaze wasn't normal.

Damian’s expression shifted immediately. “Faith,” he called out.

The AI didn’t answer immediately. The light on me only grew brighter.

“Faith,” Damian repeated.

It was then, , Faith spoke, his voice slower, extremely difficult to hear him.

“Alert…” he said. “Miraen energy detected.”

My chest tightened. The words reverberated across the room, sending a shiver down my backbone.

“Miraen…” I whispered, the word unfamiliar on my lips.
