***Atlas***

Lukas's eyes widened.

The room erupted into chaos as he clawed at my wrist, desperately trying to free himself.

“You should watch the way you speak to me,” I whispered.

My voice was deadly calm.

Around us, the elders broke into an uproar.

“Alpha, what are you doing?”

“It is an abomination to hold an elder by the throat!”

A cold smile tugged at my lips.

I could feel my eyes changing

    Chapter 13***Atlas***Lukas's eyes widened.The room erupted into chaos as he clawed at my wrist, desperately trying to free himself.“You should watch the way you speak to me,” I whispered.My voice was deadly calm.Around us, the elders broke into an uproar.“Alpha, what are you doing?”“It is an abomination to hold an elder by the throat!”A cold smile tugged at my lips.I could feel my eyes changing colour.I wasn't entirely in control anymore, yet I didn't care.“You know, you're probably right.”I tightened my grip.“Maybe I am becoming too soft.”A strangled groan escaped him.The room fell silent again.I looked around at the elders.One by one.Making sure every single one of them understood.“I am not my father.”The words echoed through the hall.“He is dead, and his methods o

  • The Alpha's Human Luna    The Crack In The Wall

    Chapter 12***Atlas***“We need to send the humans away for good!”“Yes!”I sat at the head of the long conference table, listening as the elders argued.The meeting had been going on for a while now, and I could already feel a headache beginning to form.“They're getting smarter,” one of the elders, an elderly man, mused. “They must be receiving help from inside the pack. Probably the humans here are helping them.”“Regardless, they're proving to be a threat. The sooner they're wiped out, the better. Most of the other packs think the same.”The elders nodded in agreement.“It's about time we get rid of them.”I leaned back in my chair.“I agree,” I said. “But we should take into consideration that humans are not the only creatures we are up against.”They all fell silent, listening to what I had to say.I sat up. “Most of the victims of these attacks have visible wolf marks on their body,” I explained. “If humans really are involved in this, then wolves are also helping them.”The el

  • The Alpha's Human Luna    A Fistful Of Sand

    ***Astrid***I stood at Oona’s grave, tears burning in my eyes.She hadn’t even been given a headstone. The pack had decided she wasn’t worth it. Just a cheap wooden plank driven into the dirt, her name scratched across it messily. The grave stood idle, like it carried some contagious disease. Because she was human.A bitter scoff scraped out of me. Even the people who had watched her die weren’t here.I moved slowly to Ophelia’s grave, fresh garlands in hand. The guilt still sat heavy in my chest, as if her blood were on my hands. I pressed a shaky palm to the cool stone.“I’m sorry,” I whispered. “I’m so sorry this happened to you.”The question I couldn’t shake rose again: *Who’s next?* How many humans had to die before everyone admitted these wolves were rabid?Behind me, a cluster of girls broke into giggles. In a graveyard. The sound grated against my skin.“She’s the Alpha’s personal whore for now,” one of them whispered, loud enough to carry. “That’s why she’s always in his

  • The Alpha's Human Luna    Dinner With My Executioner

    ***Astrid***I'm running. The jagged twigs tugged sharply at my flesh, drawing blood. My chest and lungs burned severely, but I couldn't stop, because they're behind me. Wolves. The large, enormous monsters, six or seven of them, were hot on my tail. A pack of scary-looking wolves. Their fangs dripped with saliva as their bloodshot eyes locked on me, like predators on prey. Dread filled me up. I increased my pace, but the universe was against me. I tripped forcefully to the ground and felt an intense, blinding pain as one of them gripped my left leg.A loud scream tore out of me, almost blinding my vision. Looking up, I saw the rest of the wolves close in on me.I let out a gasp as I woke up. My eyes darted around frantically, but there were no wolves in sight, just the cold, damp stone walls of my cell closing in. Iron bars separated me from the dim corridor beyond, and the air stank of mildew and old blood. Chains rattled faintly when I shifted on the thin straw pallet

  • The Alpha's Human Luna    Nothing but Disgust

    ***Atlas*** Sweat dripped from my face as I drove another brutal hook into the soldier’s guard. The impact jarred up my arm, painful, but satisfying in a way nothing else had been lately. The young soldier staggered back a step, boots scraping against the training mat, but he didn’t go down. Good. I needed the resistance. “Again,” I growled. He reset his stance, jaw tight, eyes wary but determined. I feinted left, then slammed a right cross hit that clipped his shoulder pad hard enough to make him grunt. The pack needed warriors who could take punishment, not crumple like paper. I'd always made it a ritual to spar with every new recruit, so I can test their strength and give corrections where necessary. I lunged again, faster this time, forcing the soldier to block desperately. His arms buckled under the force, and he slid a few feets away. “Enough,” Kyle called from the side of the mat, arms crossed. He’d been watching the whole session, silent until now. I stepped back, chest

  • The Alpha's Human Luna    The monster listens

    ***Astrid*** My heart felt like it was going to explode. That man was so close to me, his cinnamon-y scent invading my head space. I hated how he affected my thoughts. I'm supposed to hate him, not gush over him. It's not my fault that the universe decided to bless that monster in every possible way. Now that my task for the day is suspended, I quickly headed back to my room. But I needed to speak with Ophelia first. I headed straight for her room, but she wasn't there. I headed back to the kitchen, she probably was still with Sasha and her minions. Suddenly, some soldiers trooped in. “A human maid was just found dead in the West side of the forest. Everyone is advised to avoid that area, as the murderer is yet to be found.” What? “Ophelia. Where is she? You were the last person with her.” I asked Sasha. Her face was as white as a ghost, with dried tears stuck to her cheeks. A couple red stains were on her apron. Blood. “I…we all went outside for some fresh air, and she was

    ***Astrid*** And god, his eyes! I stared at mesmerizing icy blue orbs that were slightly covered by strands of dark black hair. His eyes were like an endless pool that drew me into them, like they held some untold secrets behind them. I know I should look down in submission, my mind screamed at me

    **Astrid** I woke up with a gasp. My heart is pounding from the weird dream I had. The dream didn't make any sense, the only thing I remembered was seeing a blue eyed wolf. Slowly, last night's events came rushing back into my mind and I began to adjust to my surroundings. I stared around me in con

    **Atlas**I watched from my seat as men and women swayed and danced to the music. I didn't miss the way young females glided past me, sending seductive glances and putting their womanly parts on full display. On any other day, I would take one or two to my chamber and give them what they wanted, bu

Against my will, flashes of that night crept into my mind, making my fists clench in anger. The night I saw the limb, lifeless body of my mother, covered in dirt and her own b
